1.3

The Material Management Module has multiple processes broadly divided into Procurement, Good Receipt and Inventory Management across businesses in ZZZ Group.

Purchasing is a component of Materials Management (MM). The Materials Management (MM) module is fully integrated with the other modules of the SAP System. It supports all the phases of materials management: materials planning and control, purchasing, goods receiving, inventory management, and invoice verification The purchasing module deals with the: 

External procurement of materials and services



Determination of possible sources of supply for a requirement identified by the materials planning and control system or arising directly within a user department



Purchasing communicates with other modules in the SAP System to ensure a constant flow of information. For example, it works side by side with the following modules like Controlling (CO), Financial Accounting (FI), Sales and Distribution (SD), Quality Control (QM).

Inventory Management component of Material management deals with the following tasks: 

Management of material stocks on a quantity and value basis



Planning, Entry, and Documentation of all Goods Movements



Carrying out the Physical Inventory.

Logistics Invoice Verification is a part of Materials Management (MM). It is situated at the end of the logistics supply chain that includes Purchasing, Inventory Management, and Invoice Verification. It is in Logistics Invoice Verification that incoming invoices are verified in terms of their content, prices, and arithmetic. When the invoice is posted, the invoice data is saved in the system. The system updates the data saved in the invoice documents in Materials Management and Financial Accounting.

2.Organizational elements in MM 2.1.1 Plants The Plant is an operating area within a company where there is stock movement. Each of the manufacturing locations and C & F locations shall be identified as a Plant in SAP. For the purposes of valuation of inventory at ZZZ Group, the Plant is defined as the Valuation Level within SAP where materials will be valued. The plant is embedded in the organizational structure as follows: The Plant is assigned to a single Company code. A Company code can have several plants. As ZZZ has two companies i.e. ZZZ Chemical and ZZZ Polymer each companies will have their own set of Plants. Several Storage Locations in which material stocks are managed can belong to a plant. A plant can have one or more storage locations. A Plant can be assigned to several combinations of Sales Organisation and Distribution Channel. (will be mentioned normally-Details in the SD blue print) A Plant can have several Shipping Points. A Shipping Point can be assigned to several Plants (will be mentioned normally-Details in the SD blue print). A plant has an Address, Language, and Country. A plant has its own material master data. You can maintain data at plant level for the following views on a material master record in particular: MRP, Purchasing, Storage, Work scheduling, Production resources/tools, Forecasting, Quality management, Sales, Accounting and Costing. The plant plays an important role in Material Valuation, Inventory Management, MRP, Production, and Costing & Plant Maintenance.

SSSS Plant 2200 attached to company ZZZ will be used only for managing initial assets and inventory. Transactions for this plant will not be mapped. The procurement of administrative and Service items at head office will have to be identified as per the companies. All the material stored in the outside locations will have to be identified as per the company code and will be accounted in one Plant for each company code i.e. Outside Locations For identification of stock at various Storage Locations and tanks within the storage locations will done through ware house management. As materials are stored at C&F and each C&F has its own valuation, the same will be created as Plants.

2.1.2 Purchase Organizations A Purchase Organization is an organizational unit within logistics in SAP R/3, which subdivides an enterprise to facilitate efficient and effective Purchasing. A Purchase Organization procures materials and services, negotiates conditions of purchase with vendors, and bears responsibility for such transactions. A Purchasing Organization can be divided into several purchasing groups that are responsible for different operational areas. Each purchasing organization has its own – ZZZ GROUP MM MODULE BLUE PRINT_SAMPLE [email protected]

3.Process Architecture Material Master

3.1

The material master contains information on all the materials that a company procures or produces, stores, and sells. It is the company's central source for retrieving material-specific data. This information is stored in individual material master records. Material master is integrated with 

Material Management



Production Planning



Sales and Distribution



Accounting and Controlling

Creation of material code is always with reference to the material type for which it is created Material number generation is at the Level of Material Type. 

Each material type will be identified with a different number range series.



Uniform material codification has to be maintained across all the plants of ZZZ



Material code has to be maintained on which CENVAT is allowed as per CIN requirement.

3.1.1 The material types identified for ZZZ 

Raw Materials



Stores and Spares



Packing Material



Semi-Finished goods (Intermediate Goods)



Finished goods



Scrap



Trading goods



Engineering for capital goods



Administration





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

3.1.2 Assumptions 1. ZZZ will follow the external numbering for material codification system. 2. The numbering will be restricted to maximum 6 characters 3. Material Code will unique across all plants 4. Raw material e.g. Base oil will be batch managed 5. Raw Material, Stores and Spares, Packing Material and Trading Goods will have Moving Average Price (MAP) 6. Semi Finished, Finished and Scraps goods will have Standard Price (SP) 7. If the same material is sourced from local and foreign vendors, it will have a separate code and valuations 8. Bonded and Ex-bonded material will have a unique code and hence one valuation 9. Each material type will have a valuation class and a G/L A/c linked to it for inventory postings

3.1.3 Unit of Measurement Following Units of measurement can be maintained in material master. 

Base Unit of Measurement



Sales Unit of measurement



Ordering Unit of measurement



Issue Unit of measurement

For any entry of UOM other than base unit of measurement, a conversion factor with respect to the base UOM will have to be maintained. At The material transactions the appropriate conversion will be carried out. For e.g. base UOM is KG however Issue UOM is L & the Conversion rate is 1kg=2L then if 100kg of material is issued the stock will be reduced by 200L.The stock overview report can be seen in both UOM’s. SAP standard reports provide the information in the Base Unit of Measurement. The relation between base unit of measure and alternative unit of measure has to be identified properly and relationship will be unique for the material. The material cannot have multiple values for an alternative unit of measure with respect to the base unit of measure. For ZZZ





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

Base oils the base unit of measurement will be Litres. The base UOM will be unique for a material for all the plants. Vendor Master

Purchase Requisition

4.1

A Purchase Requisition is an internal document, which is a request or instruction to Purchasing Department to procure a certain quantity of a material or services so that it is available at a certain point in time. The following shall be the source of Purchase Requisition (PR): 

MRP (Materials requirement planning including reorder /forecast)



Manual



Maintenance Order

4.1.1 Process Flow From MRP: For Raw materials, Packing materials and Stores and Spares the Purchase Requisition will be automatically created through MRP run. Raw material and Packing material requirement will be based on the BOM of FG and SFG. In case of Stores and Spares the material requirement will be based on reorder point, which will be defined in the Material Masters. Manual:





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

The user can also create a Manual Requisition for specific requirement and will be created by authorised personnel. From Maintenance Order: System will automatically generate the PR for the non stock able items in the order. Document types for Purchase Requisitions NB- Purchase requisitions 4.2

Request for Quotation (RFQ)

4.2.1 Process Flow Request for Quotations are the enquiries issued to the identified vendors for receiving the Price quote of required materials. RFQ’s will be issued to each of the approved vendors for a particular material. Based on the numbers of vendors the same number of RFQ’s will be issued i.e. A unique RFQ will be issued to each of the approved vendors for a particular material. RFQ will be created with reference to the Purchase requisition if it exists as per the PR procedure earlier defined e.g. PR created manually or through MRP. RFQ’s also will be created without any reference if no PR exists. ZZZ GROUP MM MODULE BLUE PRINT_SAMPLE [email protected]




G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

Each individual RFQ created will have Header and Item Information. 

Header Information will capture vendor details based on the Vendor Master and General Information in the form Text.



Item Information will capture the details of the material, the quantity required and delivery dates.

In the RFQ the user will identify the following details 

Purchasing Organisation



Purchase Group



Deadline for Submission of quotation



Material and Quantity



Plant for which the material is required

All the RFQ issued to different vendors for the procurement of the same material will be identified with a same and unique collective number. The collective number will be identified by the user as it will form a base for comparison of quotation from different vendors for the same material A tracking number also can be identified by the user for each of the RFQ’s for the his operating convenience There shall be RFQ document type: AN Vendor Quotation and Bid evaluation

4.3

4.3.1 Process Flow Quotations will be received from the vendors based on the RFQ sent to them. The Quotations will have the various pricing conditions quoted by the vendor for the material specified in RFQ. The quotation received will be entered in the system with reference to RFQ issued. The RFQ and quotation will be identified with the same number. The detail price break up will be identified in the quotation. For e.g. some of the details are stated below. 

Basic Rate



Discount







Packing and Forwarding



Excise Duty



VAT



Freight (Inward and Outward)

G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

Assumptions The above price break-up will be the form pricing condition in the Price Schema which will be attached in the Vendor master. Quotation compare The quotation compare will be based on the collective number identified in the RFQ. All the RFQ identified with a unique collective number will be compared. The system will calculate the net effective price after taking into consideration the secondary elements in the price i.e. Discount, Freight, packing etc. The system will consider the taxation during calculate the effective / net price. I.e. The net price will be net of excise, but the sales tax will not be taken into account. All quotation comparisons will be on the net landed price. If the user wants to refer the detail pricing of each quotation, then on the same screen the user will have to click on the quotation and the data will be furnished. All the quotations also can be compared with reference to ideal quotation which will have a best price. The system will rank the compared quotation based on the landed price. Based on the RFQ generated in the SAP, the vendor sends his quotation this is captured in the RFQ made for the vendor in the SAP. The details of the quote, i.e. the conditions (like Basic price, freight, discounts etc) are keyed into the system. Quotations received from the various suppliers shall be entered into the system with reference to RFQ generated in the system. Quotation comparison can be carried out using various Quotation numbers or using the Collective number. 

In SAP the RFQ & Quotations shall have the same number.







G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

The quotation shall be compared based on the pricing conditions entered in the system.

4.3.2 Gaps / Issues Identified and Solutions The system does not compare the quotations based on payment terms, Inco terms and technical aspects of the material.

4.3.3 Forms and reports required Report on Quotation Compare will have to be developed. 4.4

Purchase order Stock items

A purchase order is a formal request to a vendor to supply certain goods or services under certain conditions.

4.4.1 Process Flow A purchase order is a formal request to a vendor to supply certain goods or services under certain conditions. The user will create Purchase Order can be created with reference to the RFQ or Last Purchase Order, this will help the system to copy all the details in the RFQ on to the purchase order and the relation of the RFQ and the purchase order is set in the system If purchase order is created with reference the vendor details e.g. Vendor Address, Payment Terms, Inco terms will be copied from the vendor master. Purchase Order can also be created with out any reference, in this case the user will have to enter all the details e.g. Vendor, material, pricing condition etc Purchase Order will be made by ZZZ Group for those material for which the price is negotiated for each transaction are subject to change for ever new transaction e.g. Base Oils , Additives etc. For a particular transaction if the Payment Terms and Inco term are different from the vendor master, the same can be changed in the Purchase order. The pricing related conditions will be copied from the RFQ and also can be independently maintained in the Purchase Orders. The pricing conditions shall be assigned a value either in percentage terms, value terms or per quantity basis.





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

The different conditions (primary and secondary price elements) get defaulted in the Quotations or purchase order based on the pricing schema attached to the schema group field of vendor master. New pricing conditions can also be added and existing condition shall be changed only before first goods receipt entry posted against PO. Material and Vendor related Excise and Sales tax details shall be identified using the Tax Code at the Item level in PO. The tax codes will have to be entered in the PO at the item level and contain the following information: 

Excise Duty



Additional Excise duty



Special Excise duty



Sales Tax applicable / VAT related condition



Surcharges over tax as applicable for a specific region



Turnover tax

The excise duty shall be populated in the PO based on the Excise masters maintained for the material code in the CIN version of SAP to be entered in the PO at an item level. Excise rate master and material excise detail has to be maintained for proper excise duty calculation and CENVAT claim. The user shall specify the Plant, Purchasing organisation, Purchasing group, Material code, quantity of the material in the purchase order. Over delivery tolerances will be maintained in the purchase order as per the requirements for e.g. imported material where excess receipts are expected to certain extent. In case if there is an excess stock receipt beyond the over delivery tolerance identified in PO, receipts can be made only after changing the quantities in PO. Header text and Item text shall be maintained to communicate the vendor regarding specific terms and conditions which are specific to the purchase Savita will have the following document types for a purchase order. 

Import Purchase Order



Domestic Purchase Order – this will cover Subcontracting also





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR



Engineering, IT, Laboratory – Non Stock Purchases and Services



Stock Transfer Order



Asset PO



Service PO

The number ranges will be different for each of the above document types and company code this will help the user identify the Purchase order at a glance. The system will create a purchase order number which will be system generated and the series of the number will based on the document type and Company Code which is specified during creation of the purchase order. The PO will be amended for quantity as per the receiving plant on the receipt of the material before the GRN Condition types for CVD, Cess on CVD, Basic customs duty, Cess on customs duty and ADC will be percentage based and in foreign currency for which the invoice verification for delivery costs will be made in INR. All the condition types will be copied to the new PO from the old PO along with the percentage or value or quantity based rate. The unwanted condition types will be deleted from the new PO. All the secondary cost conditions will be identified in the PO with some vendor as no condition can be added nor the value can be changed once a GRN is prepared. Contracts will be prepared on the secondary vendors for transportation, barging, CHA, insurance, etc and will be only used as reference; no data will be copied from the contract in the PO by the system. The secondary vendors will be changed at the time of GRN if different than that identified in the PO. Importing against Advance License: If the import receipts are against an Advance License where no Custom Duty and CVD has to be paid, the amount liable against the Custom and CVD conditions will to be identified against a Dummy Vendor in the PO. This vendor number will be ZZZ GROUP MM MODULE BLUE PRINT_SAMPLE [email protected]




G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

same as AL number, which will be same as the Advance License Number. For creation of these liabilities, all the duties and taxes will be identified in the PO (like any normal import PO). This vendor will be credited with the duty liability and which will be subsequently settled against an income clearing account. On the sales side, a report will be generated to track exports obligations to help Finance create the necessary entries. The details of the same is explained in FI Blueprint

4.4.2 Exceptions and Variations Retrospective Amendments are not available in SAP. The changes made to PO will not affect the GRN which is posted before the changes. The changes shall be affected only to the subsequent document posted after the changes.

4.4.3 Forms and reports required Purchase Order Print layout will be developed

4.4.4 Conditions in Purchase Order Condition types are the various cost carrier components in P.O that determine the value with which the Material is valuated & how the reimbursement for the same is being carried out. Conditions for import and local procurement will be different. ZZZ will have the following condition 

Basic Price



Discount



Surcharge



Freight



Cess i.e. Market Cess for NMMC



Survey Charges



Insurance



G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

Pricing procedure is a summation of the condition type in a set sequence which helps the system calculate the net price There will two pricing procedure for ZZZ i.e. Local and Imports

4.4.5 Delivery Costs in Purchase Orders The secondary vendor for freight, Insurance and clearing will be identified in the Purchase order against the specific condition type. The secondary vendor can be changed during the good receipt stage also. The delivery condition charges shall be booked to a separate account code at the time of Goods receipt. It is necessary to identify the Freight, Clearing, Insurance vendor in the PO for the proper valuation of the material at the GRN stage. However at the time of preparation of GRN, the actual vendor to whom the payment is to be made can also be identified. In case if the transportation charges have to be paid to the material vendor than in delivery condition the vendor field can be left blank & the freight gets automatically allocated to the Material Vendor 

Freight Supplier can be changed at the GRN stage only if the planned delivery conditions have been identified in PO. However the value of the delivery cost can be changed vat the time of bill passing only.



Delivery Charges cannot be changed /amended in GRN



Any changes in the value of delivery charges (e.g. freight, Clearing, Insurance) can be carried out at the time of invoice verification. Thus vendor can be paid based on the actual invoice amount.

4.4.6 Excise and Sales tax related Details User shall identify relevant tax codes in PO based on which the Excise Duty and Sales Tax shall be calculated. 

The user needs to select correct tax code in the PO



The user needs to select correct document type (order type) in the PO.

4.4.7 Account Assigned PO (Consumption Orders) Account Assigned PO will be used in case of materials which are non-coded e.g. Engineering, Stationery, Laboratory items, Administration and other consumable where the stock tracking for such material is not required and a cost centre can be directly debited for its consumption. Specific requirement of any department can be booked using the account assigned PO and identifying a cost centre linked to the department in the PO. 

At the time of Goods receipt for such materials, stock of the material will not be updated and directly the total cost of the procured material shall be debited to an identified account assignment i.e. cost centre Mechanical, Civil, Electrical or internal order.

4.4.8 Asset Purchase All the asset purchases shall be linked to the asset class. Such PO shall be account assigned to an Asset. Finance department shall provide the required details to the purchase department regarding the Asset class and Asset number, which need to be identified in the asset PO. All asset purchases shall be account assigned PO with account assignment as ‘Asset’. Before raising Asset PO, FI will provide the Asset number.

Material Issues (Consumption)

A goods issue (GI) is a good movement with which a material withdrawal or material issue, a material consumption or a shipment of good to a customer is posted. A good Issue leads to reduction of the stocks. Material shall be issued to various departments. The issues can be specific against a production order, maintenance order or generally to a cost centre against a reservation. The consumption entries shall get posted at the time of goods issue. Other than high value maintenance spares, all materials will be charged to consumption as soon as it issued from the main stores. In certain cases the material is issued to production or cost centre but is not identified as consumption. For e.g. materials issued to shop floor locations, for such cases, a separate storage location will be identified in the system for tracking the stock on the shop floor. High value maintenance spares such as chemical & fluxes shall be transferred from Main ZZZ GROUP MM MODULE BLUE PRINT_SAMPLE [email protected]




G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

Stores storage location to the Shop floor location. Hence, the issues for production/ cost centre from the main storage will be shown as transfer posting from storage location to storage. No accounting entries shall be generated for the transfer posting. On charging the materials to a work order or cost centre, issue to production order/cost centre will be recorded. Thus exact consumption quantity will be recorded for the production order. For other products, which can be issued, as per exact requirement, a material issue to production order will be carried out from the main storage location directly. Negative stocks shall not be allowed in the system. The materials such as chemicals, oils, engineering goods shall be stored in the defined stores and directly issued to the production order or cost centre if required. The materials such as high value maintenance spares shall be stored in the engineering stores and transferred to the shop location and subsequently the issue shall be booked against maintenance order or cost centre if required. If stores want to issue material other than originally planned in the reservation then material has to be changed in the reservation with the required alternative material. There shall be only one internal number range for all types of Goods Issue and Transfer Posting documents across all the plants. When the material is issued against the production order the following accounting entries will take place in FI Dr. RM stock A/c Cr. Inventory Change A/c

5.2.1 Transfer Postings During the normal business activity it may be essential to move the material physical from one place to the other within the same company code, or within the same plant or move it from one stock type to another or from one material to another. These can be done in SAP by transfer posting.

The major material transfers that can be carried out in SAP are 

Plant to Plant

5.2.2 Plant to plant transfers 

If the material is transferred from one plant to another of the same company code Stock transport orders “STO” will be used wherein the transfers are carried out using the Sales functionality of Delivery.



Transportation cost will be included in the PO and cost of transportation will be loaded onto the stock valuation of the material at the receiving location.



STO will be used to transfer the material from Trichy / Mohali to the C&F agents. In the STO the MAP (Moving Average Price) will defaulted as the Basic price and the transport cost will be identified as one of the price



If material is moving from one plant to another plant. The excise invoice needs to be prepared in CIN for the transfer of the excisable material. Excise will be debited at originating plant and same amount shall get credited at the receiving plant by capturing excise invoice details of the issuing plant.

5.2.3 Transfer of material from Manufacturing Plant to Stocking Plant or C&F (with Excise invoice) 

The transfer shall be carried out using Stock Transport Order (STO) with outbound delivery for finished goods. STO shall be created in the MM module by the supplying plant for the receiving plant. Based on the STO, delivery shall be carried out in Sales and Distribution (SD) module of SAP. The excise invoice will also be prepared at the time of good delivery. The material shall be received in the receiving plant using movement type 101 in Materials Management. Till such time goods shall be tracked as ‘stock-in-transit’.



Stocking Plant or C&F can maintain the finished goods stock in batches, which are received from manufacturing plant.







G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

Stocking Plant or C&F can only avail the CENVAT mentioned in the excise invoice received from manufacturing plant.

5.2.4 Material Transfer from Storage Location to Storage Location 

The material can be transfer from one location to another within the plant. This transaction does not involve accounting entry for the material.



ZZZ can use this transaction to transfer the material form material inspection storage location to stores. Similarly the materials like spares that are issued to the specific departments can be transferred from stores to the specific departments and subsequently the consumption can be booked for the material if required.

5.2.5 Material to Material Transfer 

If a material changes over time in such a way that it no longer corresponds to the features defined in the material master record, but to the features of a different material, the user can carry out transfer posting from material to material.



A transfer posting from material to material results in the transferred quantity being managed under a different material number. A material master record must exist for the receiving material.



Parallel to the material document, an accounting document is posted. The issuing material master record determines the value of the transfer posting.



The material to material transfer should be done in consultation with accounts as it involves accounting entries being posted for the material.



Both the materials should have the same base unit of measure

5.2.6 Stock to stock When the quality inspection posting is completed the material transfers from Quality stock to Unrestricted use stock. Similarly it is also possible to move ‘unrestricted use’ stock to a specific sales order stock or specific project stock.





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

5.2.7 Bin to Bin transfer As with all stock movements, to transfer stock from one storage bin to another storage bin within a warehouse number you first create a transfer order. To transfer stock of a material from one storage type to another, you can display the bin stock of the source storage type (same as with the bin status report). From this display you can select the stock to be transferred and create the respective transfer orders. ZZZ will use the bin to bin transfer posting for transferring the material from bonded to ex bonded location. The quantity of material in the bonded and the ex bonded location can be reviewed in the bin status report for the section type bonded or ex bonded

Material Returns

5.3

A goods return procedure can be divided in following steps: 

Return to vendor after good receipt or if the material fails in the production



Return of excess material to stores/storage location from production or cost centre

5.3.1 Material Return To vendor Material can be returned back to the vendor if the quality department has rejected it or the material has been returned from the production department due to some defects. The material shall be returned to the vendor using the 

Return to vendor movement type in SAP or



Creating a Return PO



Return movement, user can send back the material of a single document (GRN). The return document shall refer to the GRN document against which the material was received.

The excise duty shall be reversed and gate pass shall be generated using the Excise for other movement transaction of SAP. Using the Return PO, user can send many materials back to vendor. However, the return PO will not refer to any specific GRN or material document. The excise duty shall be reversed and gate pass shall be generated using the Excise for other movement transaction of SAP. The user shall manually enter the excise duty. For vendor returns, ZZZ GROUP MM MODULE BLUE PRINT_SAMPLE [email protected]




G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR



If the bill of the vendor has been passed and later the material is rejected on shop floor, the vendor liability is not reduced automatically.



At the time of vendor return, system credits the stock account and debits the GR/IR account but vendor does not get debited automatically.



A separate FI entry needs to be passed in financial accounting system if the vendor is not providing with the replacement for the rejected material.



If the vendor is replacing the rejected material, create the FI entry for debiting the vendor liability. Create a new PO for the replacement material and carry out the receipt and bill passing procedure for the same.

5.3.2 Material Return to Stores Material can be returned back to the stores from Production. Two different options are available to receive back the material that has been issued. The material can be returned back and the consumption can be reversed using the reference of the original issue document. However, in this route full quantity of a material, which was issued, is returned back and part quantity return is not possible. But the consumption reversal entries and the value attached to it are based on the original issue document. Second route is returning the material without the reference of the original issue document. In this case material will be posted at moving average price of the material at that point of time. This procedure can also be used for scrap return and serviceable items from shop floor.

5.3.3 Forms and reports required ZZZ to give the layouts & formats 5.4

Material Reservation

With this component, user makes a request to the warehouse to keep materials ready for withdrawal at a later date and for a certain purpose. This simplifies and accelerates the goods receipt process. A reservation for goods issue can be requested by various departments for various account assignment objects (such as cost centre, order, asset, etc.). The purpose of a reservation is to ensure that a material will be available when it is needed. It also serves to simplify and accelerate the goods issue process and prepare the tasks at the point of goods issue. It is also important that reservations are taken into account by Material Requirements Planning (MRP), which means that required materials are procured in time if they are out of stock. The system makes reservations at plant level. When production / maintenance order is created, the components of order from the storage location are reserved automatically. User cannot manually process automatic reservations. For example, it is not possible to change reservations for an order directly. User has to change the components in the order. The system then updates the reservation.





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

ZZZ can use the material reservation for raw materials, spares and engineering stores materials related items to take care of non-availability of the material. If the material stock goes below the reserved quantity, the system will result into generation of Purchase Requisition after running the MRP, based on the reorder level / material planning norms set in the material master.

Flow Diagram for Goods Issue

Reservation for material

Goods Issue

Manual reservations, Automatic Reservations For Production

Stock Update Consumption A/C

When a reservation is entered, the following events occur in the system: 

The system creates a reservation document, which serves as proof of the request.



In the material master record, total stock and unrestricted-use stock of the material remain unchanged. Reserved stock is increased by the reserved quantity and can be seen in the stock overview (MMBE).



In MRP, available stock is reduced by the reserved quantity. This is visible in the current stock/requirements list (MD04). The reservation causes an entry to be made in the requirements planning file.

 Note: The procedure of creating the reservation does not mean hard reservation of the material. If the stock exists for the material, it can be issued to another entity irrespective of the material is reserved or not, i.e. system does not take into the consideration the priority of the reserved materials. 

By transfer posting however the material may be allocated from unrestricted use stock to specific sales order or project stocks.



The purpose of reservation is only limited to consider the stocks of the materials for MRP purpose and create Purchase Requisition for the material to avoid the situation of non-availability of the material.



All the reservations get automatically closed after the material is issued to the order or reservation.







G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

All the open reservations for which the materials have not to be issued must be closed manually.



All the reservations that are created automatically for production order must be closed (if open material issue exists) during final confirmation of the order.

 5.5

On periodic basis the open reservations may be closed. Stock transfer Order

The material transfers from one plant to another plant or C&F will be supported by the stock transfer order. The stock transfer orders are purely for material movement within ZZZ group or to the C&F’s and not to be issued to any external vendor of ZZZ. Definition: In stock transfer processing, goods are procured and supplied within a company. One plant orders the goods internally on another plant (receiving plant/issuing plant). The goods are procured with a special type of purchase order with SAP i.e. the stock transport order. User can request and monitor the transfer of goods with a stock transport order. The delivery can be processed in Inventory Management or in Sales and Distribution (SD Shipping). The delivery should be processed through SD to take care of the billing. When transferring the raw material, semi finished goods like oil for packing to Mohali; finished goods to C&F, spares etc. from one plant to another or various depots, the stock transfer order shall be used. The requesting plant shall raise the stock transport order on the supplying plant for example, in case of transfer of oil for packing from Trichy to Mohali; Mohali will raise a Stock Transport Order, which is a form of a purchase order on Trichy, the material to be transferred using the stock transport route needs to be maintained in the Sales area view of the plants. The material shall be transferred at the current valuation rate of the material in the supplying plant. While transferring the common raw material between the plants, excise will be debited in one plant and shall be credited in the receiving plant.

5.5.1 Characteristics of a Stock Transfer Order The quantity posted from stock of the sending plant is first of all managed as stock in transit of the receiving plant. Only once the goods receipt has been entered the quantity is posted to the ZZZ GROUP MM MODULE BLUE PRINT_SAMPLE [email protected]

Vendor Evaluation

The vendor evaluation shall be carried out for particular criteria such as quality, delivery and quantity. The quality score shall be generated based on the usage decision specified in QM module and the score related to a delivery shall be generated based on the deviation between actual delivery date and planned delivery date. The score related to quantity reliability shall be generated based on the deviation between goods receipt quantity and order quantity. Data required for vendor evaluation ZZZ GROUP MM MODULE BLUE PRINT_SAMPLE [email protected]




G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

TIME PERIOD: The days to be considered for vendor evaluation e.g. 365 or 180 days. The system shall consider the history data pertaining to last 12 or 6 months from the date of evaluation. WEIGHTAGE: The weightage to be specified for each evaluation criteria. (Could be equal or unequal) E.g.

Price:

30

Quality:

20

Delivery:

50

Total:

100 %

Each criterion can have more than one sub criteria E.g.

On time delivery: 60 Quantity reliability:

40

Each criteria /sub criteria shall have different scoring pattern based on the deviation of each criteria/sub criteria from the standard. E.g.

On time delivery

For the above criteria the scoring pattern can be assumed like Percentage Deviation 99 80 60 40 20 00 -20 -40 -60 -80 -100

Score for Evaluation 1 20 40 60 80 100 80 60 40 20 1

Explanation: a) if the deviation of the actual delivery date and planned delivery date is 80%, the vendor shall score 20. b) If the deviation of the actual delivery date and planned delivery date is –40%, the vendor shall score 60. ZZZ GROUP MM MODULE BLUE PRINT_SAMPLE [email protected]




G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

The max (+/-) Deviation permitted for a material shall be specified in the purchasing value key configuration. The purchasing value key has to be maintained in the material master e.g. Key A1: 20 days as delivery variance The A1 key denotes if the vendor delivers a material before/after 20 days from the planned delivery date then the vendor shall be awarded zero score. If the vendor delivers a material 5 days after planned delivery date, the score shall be based on the percentage deviation with respect to 20 days i.e. 5X 100/20 = 25%. The system shall find out from the configuration the nearest value if percentage deviation for the said criteria and allocate a score. In the mentioned scenario vendor shall score 80. The vendor evaluation for price level as criteria is calculated as follows 

To determine a vendor's price level, the system compares the vendor's effective price with the market price for the material.



The system first checks whether the buyer has maintained a market price for the material. (Special condition record)



If not, the system calculates the market price, which is equal to the average of the effective prices for all vendors supplying this material. The system then applies the effective price for the vendor from the conditions.



The vendor's effective price is then compared with the market price and the percentage variance determined.



The system then assigns a score to the variance in accordance with the settings made in Customizing.



The limitation of the vendor evaluation for ‘price’ criteria is that system does not take into consideration PO price but it always compares material market price with effective price maintained in the info Record.

The vendor evaluation for quantity reliability as criteria is as follows: 

When goods are received against a purchase order, the system checks whether the quantity received are the same as the quantity ordered. If this is not so, the system works out the difference and converts it into a percentage variance using the following formula:





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR



GR quantity - order quantity / order quantity x 100



The system issues a score for this percentage variance as defined in Customizing.



The new score is then included in the vendor's previous score for the sub criterion. To calculate the new score for the sub criterion from the already existing composite score and this new individual score the system applies the smoothing factor Quantity variance defined in Customizing.



When user run a new evaluation, the system calculates the average of the individual scores for all materials to obtain a score for the vendor for adherence to the confirmation date.



Min. delivery quantity % specified in the material master purchasing value key plays an important role in the evaluation. The min. delivery qty. % signifies that min. qty. to be delivered in the order for the goods receipt to be included in the evaluation. In this way, user can prevent a vendor from receiving a good score for a punctual delivery, where the quantity delivered was insufficient. If this value is not maintained in purchasing value key of material master, the system shall pick up the average value specified in the customisation irrespective of material and vendor. The score for on time delivery shall be calculated as under



At the time of a goods receipt against a purchase order, the system checks whether the delivery was on time or late:



GR date - delivery date / delivery date = date variance



If the delivery was on time, the system checks whether a minimum delivery quantity is to be taken into account.



It checks the Minimum delivery quantity/standardising value for delivery time variance from material indicator.



If the indicator has been selected, it checks whether a value has been maintained in the material master record:



If a value exists, it is used. If no value exists, the value from the Minimum delivery percentage field is used. If there no such value in this case either, goods receipts of fractions of the order quantity are included in the calculation of the score.







G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

If the indicator has not been selected, the value from the Minimum delivery percentage field is used. If no value exists, goods receipts of fractions of the order quantity are included in the calculation of the score.



If the minimum delivery quantity is not reached, the system does not determine a score for the goods receipt.

If the minimum delivery quantity is reached and the delivery date adhered to, the variance is zero and the system awards the highest points score for the relevant goods receipt. 

If the delivery is not on time, the system calculates the date variance in days and converts it into a percentage variance.



In the process, the system searches for the standardising value as follows:



It checks the Minimum delivery quantity/standardising value for delivery time variance from material indicator.



The system then awards the score user defined in Customizing for this percentage variance. The new score is then included in the vendor's previous score for the sub criterion. To calculate the new score for the sub criterion from the already existing composite score and this new individual score the system applies the smoothing factor Date variance defined in Customizing. When user run a new evaluation, the system calculates the average of the individual scores for all the materials to obtain a score for the vendor’s on-time delivery performance.



If a goods receipt covers several schedule lines, the Vendor Evaluation system performs this calculation for each schedule line.

The score for incoming goods receipt subjected to inspection is calculated as follows: 

If a material is subject to incoming inspection, part of the delivered material is checked by the quality assurance department when goods are received against a purchase order.



An inspection lot is created. After the inspection or testing, the person responsible in Quality Management then enters a result and makes a decision as to whether the material can be used. (Usage decision code has a value attached to it. based on which the score will be calculated. minimum score has to be one)





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR



All the incoming inspection lots are stored in a file with their scores.



When user run an automatic re-evaluation for a vendor, the system selects all the incoming inspection lots for the vendor that lies within the validity period and calculates the average of the score.



The result is the vendor's score for the quality of goods received.

The data required from ZZZ for carrying out vendor evaluation: 

Market price for each material and score to be awarded based on the percentage deviation that shall be considered as a reference for calculating the deviation of the vendor’s average price for evaluation.



Usage decision codes with the respective quality scores. (Taken care in quality module)



Purchasing value key (material) specifying the maximum deviation permitted for a material in terms of days and values in terms of percentage of deviation and respective score (please refer the above mentioned table with the example). Please note that purchasing value key can have under delivery / over delivery tolerance along with maximum tolerable deviation allowed for a delivery.



Purchasing value key is used in Material master with each of the Item code.

5.6.1 Assumption All the criteria’s & sub criteria are with weightage will be finalised on discussion in the configuration phase. Vendor rating will be calculated for a vendor and purchasing organisation combination

5.6.2 Exceptions and Variations Vendor evaluation can happen only after the required customizing is complete. There has to be enough transactional data in SAP for same. Physical Inventory

5.7

There are various physical inventory methods available in SAP 

Periodic inventory



Cycle counting ZZZ will be using periodic physical inventory method





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

The physical inventory process can be single step, two steps or three steps, ZZZ to use single step procedure. Three step procedure: 

Periodic Physical inventory procedure shall be carried out in the system; User will create a physical verification document in SAP system. Based on the actual physical stock, user shall enter the actual count of material with reference to the physical verification document number. The same document shall be printed for easy verification.



In case of differences, material can be recounted.



The posting of the differences shall be a separate activity based on which the stocks shall be reorganised- both quantity and value terms. The posting of differences in the inventory shall be booked to a separate account code. The posting of differences will be subject to approval of the higher authority.



Stocks shall be blocked for Posting during Physical inventory process.



Posting Block indicates that no goods movements involving the materials listed in the physical inventory document can be posted for the duration of a physical inventory count.

Single step procedure: 

User will enter the actual physical stock in the system (MI10) the system will create the PID and post the difference at the same time in the background. An accounting document will be generated along with the PID.

5.7.1 Physical Inventory in Warehouse Management This component allows you to carry out a physical inventory of your company’s warehouse stocks for balance sheet purposes. Integration with MM as the physical inventory process will be updating the base document / reference document in MM. The physical inventory differences should be cleared both in WM and MM.

Logistics Invoice Verification / Bill Passing

This is the last part of the procurement cycle; the vendor invoice is verified and entered in the system. ZZZ Accounts department will carry out this as detailed in the FI blue print. ZZZ GROUP MM MODULE BLUE PRINT_SAMPLE [email protected]




G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

5.8.1 Process flow 

ZZZ shall use Logistics Invoice Verification (LIV) and no changes in the proposed account codes shall be carried out.



Bill Passing or Logistics Invoice Verification shall be GR based Invoice Verification default. Only in certain exceptional cases like Import PO, the LIV can be PO based.



The import PO bill passing shall be carried out based on the exchange rate of the posting date. It is assumed that the Exchange rate conversions will be entered on periodic basis (daily recommended) to reflect the exact rate on the date of posting. The defaulted rate cannot be changed in the LIV transaction.



Invoices presented by the supplier can have variances from the system proposed values. The user can accept the rate differences by increasing the rate as proposed by the system. However, system identifies such invoices as having variances and checks for the various tolerance limits identified in the system.



If there are differences between the amount proposed by the system and the actual amount in the vendor invoice, user can change the amount and post these differences. The system cannot provide the reason for such differences.



To accept the difference, user shall change the value suggested by the system



Quantity Changes is not recommended by the system



While posting the invoice, the system will post the differences to the Stock account if the material is having the price control as moving average and the stock is available. The system also updates the purchase order history with the changed data. If the stock is unavailable the differences are posted to the Price difference account.



Invoices containing variances within defined tolerance limits shall be accepted by the system. Invoices exceeding the Tolerances limits shall get blocked for payment.



The various parameters on which the invoice can be blocked are Price, Quantity, and Order Price Unit Variance and Delivery variance.



Blocking based on Delivery Date Variance (Value variance based on delivery date variance) is not required.







G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

ZZZ shall keep 5% upper tolerance limits to avoid unnecessary blocking in case of increasing in price, tax, freight etc.



All the blocked invoices need to be released before the payment can be made against the blocked invoice in FI. Invoices shall be released in a separate transaction. User shall cancel the blocking indicator that was set when the invoice was posted. The authorisation of the transaction shall be

controlled through authorisation profile of

SAP. 

The differences arising due to foreign currency exchange rate variation at the time of Invoice Verification (not Bill Payment) shall get loaded to inventory (if there is sufficient stock coverage). Foreign Currency Exchange variations can be identified only at the IV stage. (And not at GR stage). In case of insufficient stock, the differences will go to Price difference account.



Credit note on vendor shall be generated through FI module if Bill has been passed and paid to the vendor and later the adjustment needs to be paid.





G.V.SHIVAKKUMAR

6.Excise JV’s Excise JVs can be used for the following functions: 

Scrapping of material,



Posting any difference in excise amount arising out of wrong data entry,



Making adjustment postings for materials not used in Production,



Making adjustment postings for money transferred to PLA and



Making adjustment postings for additional excise paid by vendors.



Adjustment of CENVAT at later date (say disputed matters).



Each plant and C&F shall be identified as excise group in SAP. The excise registers are maintained at excise group level.



The external locations will be attached to a dummy plant which will have a dummy excise registration and excise group

7.Scrap Identification 7.1.1 Process flow In some cases material gets rejected or becomes useless due to expiry or damage. The scrap shall be identified as non-valuated material in the system. A separate material code shall be maintained for each material to be treated as a scrap in the system. Scrap yard or store shall receive scrap, as a scrap material or from cost centre. Scrap shall be tracked only on quantity basis. Non-stock material will be brought into stocks just before the sale transaction occurs. In ZZZ such kind of materials can undergo following treatment 

Material is scrapped but can be sold: The sale of scrap will be handled through SD module of SAP.



Material is destroyed

The material that has to be scrapped will be reduced from the stock using the scrap movement. Stock will be reduced and the cost of the destroyed material shall be accounted in a special account code and a cost centre CENVAT claimed for all such materials will have to be reversed using Excise JV with reference to the original excise invoice number. The sources of scrap material will be: 

production returns unfit for regular use/ unfit for return to vendor



non salvage sales returns



Customer returns beyond repairs
