Byproducts can be taken care of by defining them in the BOM
The scrap or the process loss can be adjusted while doing a quality inspection of the material received after subcontracting.
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.
Consignment cycle is similar to a standard purchase cycle. The difference it that no accounting document is created at the time of goods receipts only QTY is updated. It is settled once the same is utilized.
Consignment stock is the material which is lying in the premises but is not owned by the company. It has no value assigned to it until it is taken into own stock. Once it is used in production or to be sold, it is taken into own stock.

The pricing procedure assigned to a vendor has a calculation schema attached to it. This schema defines the various conditions’ pre-requisite, calculation & sequence in the PO. Generally, only one type of pricing procedure is followed for all the vendors.
Condition type has an access sequence assigned to it which determines which tables to access for data and in what sequence. This has a sequence of table based on the most specific to most generic. It can be used for any new condition type creation.
- RFQ/Quotation
- Purchase requisition
- Purchase order
- Master data (Info record, Source list, Conditions, Vendors etc.)v
- Outline agreements
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-MMBE-further giving details like storage location,Plant,Material code.mail
1) pre-sales activity -inquiry,quotation
2) sales-order,
3) inventory sourcing,
4) delivery,
5) pgi,
6) invoicing
Various activities in SAP MM are :
Inventory,
Warehouse,
Purchasing,
Vendor evolution,
Invoice varification, etc.
Price determination process: Create a Price schema Add a condition type if required Asssign Access sequence to the condition type. Create a condition table and specify flds required. Create a cond. rec. The price schema for the particular mat. has a cond type. This pricing will trigger the Price determination process. Basically the access sequence assigned to the cond type will search the cond table to find the particular cond. rec. and determin the price.
Full life cycle implementation means implementing the project start from requirement gathering, analysis, solution desion, mapping, implementing according to ASAP methodology.
Profit Centre Accounting:The following data can be passed on in Profit Center Accounting * Costs (assessment and/or distribution) * Revenue and sales deductions (assessment and/or distribution) * Balance sheet items (distribution) For this purpose, it is necessary to define cycles containing rules for finding sender-receiver relationships. 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. The SAP system enables you to monitor your internal orders throughout their entire life-cycle; from initial creation, through the planning and posting of all the actual costs, to the final settlement and archiving: Features * You can use master data to assign certain characteristics to your internal orders, which enables you to control which business transactions can be used with the internal order. * Internal order planning enables you to roughly estimate the costs of a job before the order starts and to make an exact calculation at a later date. You can choose between various planning approaches to compare the effectiveness of different methods. * You can assign and manage budgets for internal orders. * You apply the actual costs incurred by a job to your internal orders using actual postings. In Financial Accounting, you can assign primary cost postings (such as the procurement of external activities and external deliveries) directly to internal orders. * In period-end closing you can use various different allocation methods (for example, overhead costing) to allocate costs between different areas of Cost Accounting. Order settlement enables you to transfer the costs incurred by an order to the appropriate receivers. * The information system for internal orders enables you to track planned and assigned costs on your orders in each stage of the order life-cycle.
This activity involves- Master data upload for objects like customer masters including partner function assignment, customer material info, pricing, outputs and credit masters.
Based on the calculation schema of that condition and based on access sequence assigned to it.
A scheduling agreement can be made for Consignment, Subcontracting and stock transfer. A contract, also known as a blanket PO, can be made for standard items and can be restricted to a Value or QTY.
