SAP MM Interview questions
- 1. SAP MM Interview Questions and Answers Learning IT Courses Has Never Been This Easy
- 2. 1. What is the one full implementation of life cycle in SAP-BW ? Full life cycle implementation means implementing the project start from requirement gathering, analysis, solution design, mapping, implementing according to ASAP methodology.
- 3. 2. How the Price determination process works in SAP-MM? Price determination process: Create a Price schema Add a condition type if required Assign Access sequence to the condition type. Create a condition table and specify fields required. Create a cond. rec. The price schema for the particular condition type. This pricing will trigger the Price determination process. Basically the access sequence assigned to the condition type will search the condition table to find the particular cond. rec. and determine the price.
- 4. 3. What are the activities we will do in SAP MM module implementation? Various activities in SAP MM are : Inventory Warehouse Purchasing Vendor evolution Invoice verification, etc.
- 5. 4. Explain what are the steps in the SD process at least up to the invoicing stage ? 1) pre-sales activity -inquiry, quotation 2) sales-order, 3) inventory sourcing, 4) delivery, 5) pgi, 6) invoicing.
- 6. 5. What is the work you have done in the MM module and what programs did you use for creating views in MM? In MM 1.Stock overview for a period can be done by Tcode-MB5B further giving details like storage location, Plant, Material code, Date.. 2.Stock as on date can be viewed by using Tcode-MMBEfurther giving details like storage location, Plant, Material code.mail
- 7. 6. How do you get the Sales Order (S.O) No. from the Delivery Order? There are 2 ways through which you can see the reference of the documents. 1) Through Document Flow 2) Enter the delivery Go at the item level and select TAB PREDECESSOR DATA tab and you can see the reference order number.
- 8. 7. What is the work relation between SAP-MM, SD and fi/co modules?

From manufacturing the product/goods/services to reaching the customer. All the transaction process is depending on sales area, sales doc, item proposals, shipping, delivery and billing.
- 9. 8. How can I open a previous MM period? Transaction - MMPV Menu path - Logistics->Materials Management->Material Master->Other-> Close Period.
- 10. 9. What is the difference between business area or cost centre? Business area is a place where the product or the produced components are valued in group or for the total transactions carried out, Right from Procurement, production and sales of goods.

- 16. 15. What is subcontracting cycle ? When the material is sent for subcontracting i.e. some value addition, it is converted into a different material. It needs a BOM to define the components of the finished item being received.
- 17. 16. How is scrap accounted in subcontracting? The scrap or the process loss can be adjusted while doing a quality inspection of the material received after subcontracting.
- 18. 17. What are the various movement types and usage ? 101 – GR in unrest. use 103 – GR in Blocked stock 105 – Release from Block to Unrest. use stock. 122 – Return to vendor from unrest. use stock. 124 – Return to vendor from blocked stock 301 - Plant to Plant tfr. 309 – Material to Material tfr. 311 – Tfr. from stg loc to stg loc 261 – Issue for consumption. 411 – Taking consignment stock into own stock. 551 – Withdrawal for scrapping etc.

- 20. 19. What is the complete flow of the profit center accounting , and Internal orders in controlling ? Profit Centre Accounting : The following data can be passed on in Profit Center Accounting and Related Activities in Controlling . * Definition of actual assessment cycles * Definition of plan assessment cycles * Definition of actual distribution cycles * Definition of plan distribution cycles Internal Orders : Internal orders are normally used to plan, collect, and settle the costs of internal jobs and tasks.

- 23. 22. What is meant by batches? How can the batches be searched? A batch is a subdivision of your stock of a material having the same characteristics. For instance: Food production uses batches to indicate the day of production. Paint production uses batches based on production date and the used ingredients. It is very hard to reproduce the same color in exactly the same way at two different moments. Or may be divided in batches based on their mineral content.
- 24. 23. What are the differences between release procedure with classification and release procedure without classification? Release procedure with classification means the Purchase requsition can be released both at item level & at the header level. Release procedure with out classification can also be used for PR which is used for item level release only. all other external documents cannot be released with classification. The two procedures are mutually exclusive (that is to say, you must decide in favor of one of them only - we cannot use both).
- 25. 24. How to create PR or PO by MRP? The PR is created according to the safety stock mentioned for the material or can be triggered from a requirement . For creating a PO, you need to have the scheduling agreement in place .After the MRP is run the schedule lines are generated which are nothing but the PO.
- 26. 25. What is the use of configurable material? Configurable material is useful if you have a large number of combination of parts that go into a product. It means different permutations and combinations of the parts for same material. If you maintain a unique material code for each combination , you require a large number of material numbers. KMAT may be used in such a case where you maintain just one generic product code. A super BOM is maintained for such a material consisting of all possible alternatives. A routing is also maintained consisting of all possible operations that could be used. Typically configurable material is used in Made To Order (MTO) environment. However frequently ordered configurations may be planned with a material variant which needs to have a material master record. Thus Material variants may have stock and value.
