SAP MM Interview Questions
- 1. Common SAP MM Questions Can any one tell me what is MM closing and what is FI closing? How can I know if period is closed? MM closing means that you can not post materials document. In MM area you have two open periods current and previous. If you do not set other in MMRV - here you can check which are the open MM periods for company code. If you check Allow posting to previous period - it will forbid MM posting in previous period. FI open period (ob52) allow to post FI documents. As I know you can allow postings for some accounts - for example forbid material accounts for previous period in order to prevent MM posting until you finish all FI documents. *--Monika Hubanova Related: Movement Error - Posting Only Possible Between Movement Type Posting Error In Delivery How to add an attachment to a Purchase Order in SAP?

Abhiji JOshi. I have two issues: 1) Auto P.O.: In MMR & Vendor Master Record (Control data) I have checked 'Auto PO'....I have created the Purchase Req for the Material.....Now I want to know how the automatic PO will come into force...I mean what steps to do after creating PReq. 2) Source List: I have checked 'Source List' In Purchasing view of MMR...Have two vendors for this material for which source list is also maintained(ME01)....While creating PO..the system takes by default the first vendor....I tried to assign the second vendor (made sure that validity period are in range)..but couldn't do so...Can you suggest how the system will tell me to select one of the vendor I want to assign to the PO. 1. For Auto PO , yo should proceed as follows: * Auto P.O.: In MMR & Vendor Master Record - checked(MM02/XK02) * Maintain Source List & select the indicator for source list record as MRP relevent.(ME01) * If more than one source list records are generated, make one of them as fixed. * Run MRP , the PR's generated will be preassigned with the source of supply.(MD01) * Enter T Code ME59 for automatically creating PO's from PR's. 2.* Check if the assigned Source in PR is not fixed in Source List. * Check if the info record for source not assigned, is having valid conditions.

On Information Text, I had a message "Invoicing plan: No message was found for partner 100454/company code 2000" I had investigate that error on message determination and still the error occurs. Maybe I miss the setting in message determination. Can you tell me how to set Framework order Settlement message determination.
- 3. According to SAP Notes, when an invoicing plan is settled, you can create a document/e-mail or etc to notify your supplier or internal personnel. The IMG setting (SAP 4.7) can be set in Material Mgmt --> Logistic Invoice Verification --> Message determination. Another way is if the creation of these docs are not required, turn off the message by setting the message display from 'Error' to 'Information'. The IMG setting can be set in Material Mgmt --> Logistic Invoice Verification --> Define Attributes of System Messages. This is what I did on my side. Charlie Have any one you done this in IM: Inactivating the standard Movement Types. Say for eg. I don't want to end user to use this MType 501- Receipt without ref to PO. I don't want to delete this movement type, being an SAP standard one. One option what I thought of is to control in the authorisation profile, profile to exclued selected movement types. Is there any other way we can do this? You can delete the accounts assignments which are used for 501 movement type, in T030 table. Transaction code is OBYC. or 1. Use transaction OMJJ 2. Enter movement type 501 3. Remove MB01 from allowed transactions Ashok K P Related: SAP Material Management Interview Questions SAP MM Support Problem Solution Get help for your SAP MM problems SAP MM Forums - Do you have a SAP MM Question?
