SD - MM Integration

[Former Member]

Hi, Akmal Vakhidov

Development Support SAP, Walldorf/Germany

Your response to the thread posted by Rama on SD - MM integration is very impressive. Can you please, clarify the following doubt?

As the PR is created on the MM side automatically. Is it possible that, if on the MM side the storage location is changed, does it automatically update the sales documents with the new storage location.

The business scenario is:

We have 2 storage locations, 1 in Canada and 1 in USA. As we procure the materials after sales order processing. It is difficult to determine the shipping point initially. On the MM side, the purchaser decides, where the goods have to arrive (storage locations), depending on the vendor.

Thanks in adavnce.

The link between SD and MM :-

1. When you create sales order in SD, all the details of the items are copied from Material master of MM.

2. MRP and availibility check related data is also taken from MM although you control this data in SD also.

3. While you create inbound/outbound delivery with reference to a sales order,the shipping point determination takes place with the help of the loading group, plant data, shipping conditions etc. This also refers to Material Master.

4. The material which you are entering in a sales order must be extended to the sales area of your sales order/customer otherwise you cannot transact with this material.

There are many such links between SD and MM.

SD module is highly integrated with the other modules in SAP.
