Introduction to SAP MM

Exploring MM Module in SAP

In a company various transactions related to goods or materials, such as


maintaining records and invoicing the purchase orders, need to recorded on
regular basis. The SAP system provides the MM Module to store all these
transaction details in the form of organizational data. The MM Module is the
core Module of the mysap ERP system, as it helps to implement the supply
chain. The Module allow you to plan for future production on the basis of
post consumption trends.

Role of MM Module in SAP

In the world of Business, the movement of goods or material from a vendor


to company and finally to a customer is termed as supply chain. This chain
is implemented in the mysap ERP system with the Help of MM Module. The
Mm Module allows a company to control its inventory, forecast customer
Demand, and keep itself updated on all the transactions of supply chain.

The Instant transfer of information among various Modules of the SAP


System facilitates smooth functioning. The MM Module helps to transfer the
information, such as order details, the status of the Inventory in the storage
location, and the delivery status, to other modules.

Example:

Consider a scenario where a customer places order of 50 items in a


company. Now suppose that 20 items are already available in the
Warehouse; therefore, the company has to manufacture 30 items to fulfill the
order. The details of this order are maintained in the SD module of the
mysap ERP system, which are further forwarded to the MM Module after
checking the availability of items in stock. The movement of details from
one module to another module is known as flow of Information.
