MM questions

Materials Management

1. In which of the following cases can you define scales for the condition type a. Purchase order b. Contract c. Info record d. Vendor e. Quotation

f. Scheduling agreement

2. What is meant by one-time vendor?

You can create special master records for vendors from whom you only procure a material once or very rarely. These are called one-time vendor master records and, in contrast（区别于）to other master records, you can use a vendor master record for several vendors. Therefore, no vendor-specific（具体的） data is stored for one-time vendors. You can control this using the relevant field selection for account groups for one-time vendors. When you create a purchasing or accounting document using a one-time vendor, the system automatically branches（分行，提示） to an additional data screen on which you enter specific data, such as the vendor?s name, address, or bank details. If an RFQ or a PO is sent to a one-time vendor, the vendor data must be entered manually.

3. How do you control the use of Valuation class per material Type? a. By valuation category b. By Account group

c. By Account assignment Category d. By Material Group

valuation category Criterion（标准） for the separate valuation of different stocks of a material managed under a single material number. Reasons for \

? Quality ? Batch

? Degree of purity

? Use or non-use in promotions

Account group Attributes which determine the creation of master records. The account group determines:

? The data that is relevant for the master record

? A number range from which numbers are selected for the master records.

An account group must be assigned to each master record.

MM questions

Account assignment Category Consumable materials debit different account assignment objects depending on the account assignment category

specified. The account assignment category determines which category of account assignment is to be debited and which account assignment data you have to prepare. Examples of account assignment categories include: ? Asset

? Cost center ? Cost object ? G/L account

4. With which master data the account group is used a. Vendor master b. Material Master c. Info record

d. Outline agreement

5. What determines whether a material can be posted to a stock? a. Material type b. Material group c. Material Status d. MRP controllers

MRP controllers The person responsible for a group of materials within MRP in a plant or company. Any material that takes part in material requirements planning must be assigned to an MRP controller.

Material Status Indicator in a material master record that restricts the

usability of a material. You can restrict the usability of a material for certain functions, for example, by assigning it the status %used to define how the system is to respond in individual applications, for example, with an error message or a warning, in the case of unpermitted use of a material. You can define the material status for all plants (basic data view), or separately for each plant (plant view).

6. What does the account assignment category U stands for? When can we use this account assignment category ?

If you do not know the account assignment object for which the

consumable material is being procured when the requirement coverage request is created, you can use account assignment category U in the

purchase requisition. The system does not require any further details about the account assignment for the relevant item in the purchase requisition.

7. What is the purpose of Collective number（汇总号） in RFQ?

You can link a number of RFQs that belong together with the help of the collective number. The collective number can have a maximum of ten characters and can be alphanumeric.

2) 集合编码是一个最长10位的字符编码(可以包含数字)

8. What is release order? What is the difference between the release order and Purchase order?

A release order is a purchase order that references a contract. Contracts are outline agreements. They do not contain details of the delivery dates for each of the items. To inform vendors of which quantities you need for which date, you enter contract release orders for a contract.

9. What is distributed contract and Centralized Contract

Distributed contracts are centrally agreed contracts that are created in one R/3 system and made available to other R/3 systems for the issue of

release orders. They are distinguished from normal contracts by the use of a separate agreement type.

Items of a Centralized contract do not relate to just one specific receiving plant.

10. At which Organization levels is info record kept a. P. org level b. Plant

c. Company code d. Client

11. What are the preconditions for automatically generated delivery schedule lines? A particular advantage of working with scheduling agreements is that

delivery schedule lines can be generated automatically by the MRP system provided that certain prerequisites are fulfilled:

? The scheduling agreement must be uniquely defined as the source of supply

? Automatically generated schedule lines must be allowed via the source list (MRP indicator 2)

? Automatically generated schedule lines must be allowed in the MRP system

12. When do normally use Account assignment category K? And why? K (cost center). When procuring consumable materials.

13. At which level Purchase requisitions are released Purchase Organization

14. At which level Purchase orders are released Purchase Organization

15. What is item category and give some two examples

Page 3 of 18

MM questions

The item category defines the process used to procure a material or service.

? Standard: You use this item category for materials that are procured externally.

? Subcontracting: The finished product is ordered from a vendor. The components that the vendor needs to manufacture the finished product are entered as ?material to be provided “ items.

? Consignment: The vendor makes material available, which you then manage as consignment stock. A liability only arises when material is withdrawn from consignment stock, not when the stock is placed in the consignment stores.

? Stock transport orders: The material is transferred from one plant to another.

? Third-party order: You order material from a vendor with the instruction that the vendor should deliver the goods direct to a third party (a

customer, for example). The vendor sends your company the material invoice.

16. What are release codes in release procedure?

Two-character identifier with which a person responsible for processing a document can release (approve) an item of a purchase requisition, a complete purchase requisition, or a complete external purchasing

document, or cancel such release (that is, revoke a previously granted approval). If a link to SAP Business Workflow has been defined for the release code, the person involved can also refuse to effect release (withhold approval), thus rejecting the relevant item or document.

17. For a normal PO briefly explain the determination of Release Strategy

The release conditions (or criteria) determine which release strategy

applies. To be able to work with the release procedure with classification, you must create a release class with characteristics in addition to making the other Customizing settings. You set up a release class with characteristics via the classification system.

? The communication structures CEBAN (for purchase requisitions) and CEKKO (for external purchasing documents) contain all the fields that can be defined as release characteristics. ? All release conditions must be defined as classification

characteristics. Part of the characteristic definition is a link to a field of the communication structures CEBAN or CEKKO

? You group together all characteristics that you wish to use in release strategies for purchase requisitions or external purchasing

documents in a class. The class must be assigned to the class type 032. You can define a class for purchase requisitions, a class for

external purchasing documents, and a class for service entry sheets. The release class is assigned to the release object in Customizing (1

MM questions

the system is to determine the lot size by selecting one of the lot-sizing procedures in the material master record.

Three groups of procedures exist for calculating the lot size:

?In the static lot-sizing procedures, the lot size is calculated using only the entered quantities in the material?s master record.

?The period lot-sizing procedures groups together requirements from one or several periods to form a lot.

?The optimum lot-sizing procedures groups requirements from several periods together to form a lot, whereby an optimum cost ratio is determined between lot size independent costs and storage costs. 89. What are account assignment objects? Name a few.

90. Stocks are stored at storage location level on a. Value basis b. Quantity basis

c. Value and quantity basis d. None

91. What are Condition tables and Access sequences?

Condition table: A condition table consists of one or more condition keys and a data part. The data part contains a number that references a record in another table. The latter table contains the condition records.

Access sequence: An access sequence is a search strategy by means of which the system searches for valid records in various condition tables. It consists of one or more accesses. The sequence of accesses controls the priority of the individual condition records among each other. Through the accesses, the system is told where to look first and where to look next for a valid condition record in each case.

Calculation schema: A calculation schema groups together all condition types that play a part in calculating the price. It sets out the order in which the condition types are taken into account in the calculation.

Condition types: Condition types represent price factors in the system. There are condition types for absolute and percentage discounts, freight costs, customs duties, or taxes, for example. Via the condition type, you specify how the price factor is calculated (e.g. percentage or absolute amount).

92. What does ABC analysis mean?

Procedure to determine the importance of an object.

You perform an ABC analysis to classify objects according to specific criteria or performance measures. Each object is assigned one of the following three indicators: ?A: important

?B: less important

?C: relatively unimportant

An object can be a material, a vendor, or a plant.

MM questions

ABC analyses are used in Materials Management, Plant Maintenance, Cost Accounting, the Logistics Information System and ABAP Query.

93. Gine the transactions codes for the following a. To view material list b. Goods against order

c. Releasing blocked invoice d. To view PO history e. Invoice verification

94. In which master data is schedule line activated? Scheduling Agreement delivery schedule

95. What does Invoice reduction mean? Briefly explain how it is done.

When there is a discrepancy between the invoice quantities or values and the system suggested quantity or value, invoice reduce can be used to create a memo to credit the difference.

96. What is an Invoice plan? Give an example.

List of dates on which invoices for purchase order items covering materials or services are to be maintained and paid.

The invoicing plan permits extensive automation of the process of creating and paying invoices for both recurring procurement transactions (such as rental or leasing payments) and transactions involving settlement in stages (such as payment regarding the individual phases of a building project as they are completed).

97. What does Random blocking of Invoice mean?

You can block invoices at random to check them again. If the stochastic block is active and you post an invoice that is not subject to any other blocking reason, it can be randomly selected for blocking.

A stochastic block is not set at item level, but for the whole invoice. If a

stochastic block is set when you post the invoice, the system automatically sets an R in the field Payment block in the document header data; there is no blocking indicator in the individual items.

98. Describe the following material types a. FERT - b. ROH - c. HALB - d. HAWA -

99. Briefly explain Re-order point planning. Special procedure in materials planning.
