4. Organizational Data
• A hierarchy in which the organizational units
in an enterprise are arranged according to
tasks and functions
• Are static data and are rarely changed
• The definition of organization units is a
fundamental step, it is a critical factor in how
the company will be structured
4
7. Organizational Structures: Client
• The client is a unit within an SAP R/3 system
that is self-contained both in legal and
organizational terms and in terms of data,
with separate master records and an
independent set of tables.
• From a business viewpoint, the client
represents a corporate group, for example.
• Client: 3 numerical digits
8. Organizational Structures: Company &
Company code
• The company code is the smallest
organizational unit of external accounting for
which a complete, self-contained bookkeeping
system can be replicated.
• A company code represents an independent
unit producing its own balance sheet, for
example, a company within a corporate group
(client).
• Company code = 4 characters
9. Organizational Structures: Plant
• Lowest valuation area
• Organizational level where Material
Requirements (MRP) runs
• Generally used to describe a production site, a
distribution center or centralized warehouse
• May be a physical or logical unit
9
10. Organizational Structures: Valuation
Area
• The valuation area determines at which level a
material is valuated (inventory value is
established)
• SAP R/3 allows valuation at the company code
or plant level, but recommends valuation area
be set at the plant level.
• Means each plant can have its own material
prices and account determination
10
11. Organizational Structures: Storage
Location
• Subdivision of a plant
• Where materials are managed (inventory
management)
– Raw Materials
– Maintenance, Repair, and Other (MRO)
– Finished Product
• May be a physical or logical unit
11
12. Organizational Structures: Purchasing
Organizations
• An organizational unit responsible for
procuring materials or services for one or
more plants and for negotiating general
conditions of purchase with vendors.
• The purchasing organization assumes legal
responsibility for all external purchase
transactions.
14. Organizational Structures: Purchasing
Organization Groups
•The purchasing organization is further
subdivided into purchasing groups (buyer
groups), which are responsible for day-to-day
buying activities.
A purchasing group can also act for several
purchasing organizations.

20. Create a Vendor
Creating Your Own Vendor Master Record
Usage
We recommend that you create your own vendor master
record for this scenario. If, however, you prefer to use the
reference vendor instead, it could be that the order currency
has already been changed and this IDES scenario may no
longer work.
You create a German vendor in company code 1000, IDES AG
Germany, to create purchase orders and invoices
denominated in euros.

40. Purchasing Process
• Create a requisition
• First release of requisition
• Create RFQ (Request for Quotation) with
reference to requisition
• Create PO (Purchase Order) with reference to
RFQ
• Department receives material ordered (GR)
• Department pays invoice (MIRO).
41. Purchase Requisition
Document generated by a user department
or storeroom-personnel to notify the
purchasing department of items it needs to
order, their quantity, and the timeframe. It
may also contain the authorization to
proceed with the purchase. Also called
purchase request or requisition.
42. Request for Quotation
Is a standard business process whose purpose is
to invite suppliers into a bidding process to bid on
specific products or services. RFQ generally
means the same thing as IFB (Invitation For Bid)
43. Purchase Order
Buyer-generated document that authorizes a
purchase transaction. It sets forth the
descriptions, quantities, prices, discounts,
payment terms, date of performance or
shipment, other associated terms and conditions,
and identifies a specific seller.

The SAP R/3 is mainly structured in modules:
The top level are functional modules.
In this slide green modules belong to Logistics. These are: SD (Sales and Distribution), MM (Material Management), PP (Production Planning and Controlling), QA (Quality Assurance), PM (Plant Maintenance).
The accounting modules are red: FI (Financial Accounting), CO (Controlling, Cost Accounting), AM (Asset Management), PS (Project System).
Human Resource Management is the yellow module.
OC means office communication like emailing.
IS stands for Industry Solutions. These are branch-specific packages (e.g. automotive, retailing, oil industry).
Currently, HR is the only module which is separated from the other moduls
Purchasing (MM-PUR)
Purpose
The R/3 System consists of a number of components that are completely integrated with one another. This integration allows the various departments and units of an enterprise to share and maintain the same information.
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 tasks of the MM Purchasing component are as follows:
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
Monitoring of deliveries from and payments to vendors
Good communication between all participants in the procurement process is necessary for Purchasing to function smoothly.
Valuation
MM - Material Price Change (MM-IV-MP)
Balance Sheet Valuation (MM-IM-VP)
Actual Costing/Material Ledger (CO-PC-ACT)
Inventory Management and Physical Inventory (MM-IM)
Purpose
This component 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
Features
Material Master (LO-MD-MM)
Purpose
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.
MRP Procedures in Consumption-Based Planning
Use
In consumption-based planning, the following MRP procedures are available:
Reorder point procedure
Forecast-based planning
Time-phased materials planning
Logistics Invoice Verification (MM-IV-LIV)
Purpose
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.
Product Catalog
A number of media can be used as vehicles for presentations, including:
Print media
CD-ROM
Online services (such as internet, T-Online, CompuServe, AOL)
Information kiosks at the point of purchase
The Product Catalog functionality comprises a programming interface (Business API) for accessing the data and integrated maintenance of product catalog-related data. This data comprises:
The layout of the product catalog
The materials and prices in the product catalog
Texts
Multi-media objects (graphics, sound documents, video clips etc.).
Service Master
MM External Services Management provides a basic process for the procurement of externally performed services. This basic process comprises the following functionality:
Foreign Trade
Official customs brokers are licensed by the customs service to assist you with import and export transactions. They have the responsibility to ensure that all foreign trade customs procedures are followed completely and comply to legal regulations. They also ensure that the duties collected from your company are turned over to the government when they become due.
Although the services of a customs broker replace the need for your company to handle the necessary tasks associated with foreign trade, they can be very costly.
SAP's FT system incorporates all of the necessary checks and balances necessary to ensure that your import and export transactions are handled lawfully and that the duties owed to the customs authorities are calculated instantly and accurately.
Master data does not change very often
Org data – should not change
Transaction data (application data) – changes every transaction
If you setup organizational data and wish to change it, it very well may be more work than the initial setup.
There are five organizational structures that we will define for our material management
Plant
Valuation area
Storage locations
Purchasing organizations
Purchasing groups
Plant is a physical or logical location
It may be a warehouse: PHYSICAL
Vendor are in warehouse (Vendor managed inventory)
Customer site (consigned inventory): LOGICAL
Can do multiple plants within the same physical structure
We value material at the plant level.
Planning done at the plant not organizational level
The plant is an operating area or branch within a company.
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.
Several storage locations in which material stocks are managed can belong to a plant.
A single business area is assigned to a plant and to a division.
A plant can be assigned to several combinations of sales organization and distribution channel.
A plant can have several shipping points. A shipping point can be assigned to several plants.
A plant can be defined as a maintenance planning plant.
A plant has the following attributes:
A plant has an address.
A plant has a language.
A plant belongs to a 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, Costing.
The plant plays an important role in the following areas:
material valuation
If the valuation level is the plant, the material stocks are valuated at plant level. If the valuation level is the plant, you can define the material prices for each plant. Each plant can have its own account determination.
inventory management
The material stocks are managed within a plant.
MRP
Material requirements are planned for each plant. Each plant has its own MRP data. Analyses for materials planning can be made across plants.
production
costing
In costing, valuation prices are defined only within a plant.
plant maintenance
If a plant performs plant maintenance planning tasks, it is defined as a maintenance planning plant. A maintenance planning plant can also carry out planning tasks for other plants (maintenance plants).
We are going to create at the plant level.
System defaults to plant level.
Define valuation level
You define the valuation level by specifying the level at which material stocks are valuated. You can valuate material stocks at the following levels:
Plant level
Valuation must be at this level in the following cases:
If you want to use the application component Production Planning (PP) or Costing
Company code level
The decision you make is valid for the whole client. You are recommended setting material valuation at plant level.
Maintain storage location
A storage location is the place where stock is physically kept within a plant.
A storage location has the following attributes:
There may be one or more storage locations within a plant.
A storage location has a description and at least one address.
It is possible to store material data specific to a storage location.
Stocks are managed only on a quantity basis and not on a value basis at storage location level.
Physical inventories are carried out at storage location level.
A storage location can be assigned to a warehouse number in the Warehouse Management System . You can assign more than one storage location to the same warehouse number within a plant.
Storage locations are always created for a plant.
Could be inventory management

Here you can see an overview of the hierarchical structure including the objects of the warehouse management
IDES = exemplary company maintained in the SAP system
different Storage locations are assigned to a warehouse number
I will talk about the material master later
before you order the material from a vendor you have to plan the quantites you need in each period
next, the ... can be mentioned
user department
...
after you have received the goods, the vendor will make out an invoice and send it to you.Before paying the invoice has to be verified compare with PO, delivery notes etc.
talking of the inter-depENdencies of MM one can say that all of the other modules regularly access data maintained and updated in the module MM
like the material master for example, which is relevant for prod. planning and sales & distrib.
also: requirements planning....
There are two types of basic data in the module MM
different sections
so far: considered information about
material
vendors
now: talk about information relating to the combination
