One topic explanation: MM process flow
This is the typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases
Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter. we can enter purchase requisitions our self, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
2. Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps to identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speeds the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing us to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
4. Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, we can generate Pos our self or have the system generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts are also supported.
5. Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods we have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides us with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and under deliveries of ordered goods.
7. Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.
