Beginner guide

What is SAP MM (Materials Management)?

SAP MM covers everything a company does to buy and hold materials. A department raises a request, purchasing turns it into an order with a vendor, the goods arrive and are booked into stock, and the vendor invoice is checked against the order and the receipt before payment.

Because nearly every manufacturing, retail and distribution business buys and stores goods, MM is implemented almost everywhere SAP is used, and it connects directly to finance, sales and production.

Key concepts

The main building blocks of MM

In practice

The procure-to-pay process in MM

  1. A requirement appears, and a purchase requisition is created, manually or by MRP.
  2. Purchasing selects a vendor and creates a purchase order.
  3. The vendor delivers, and a goods receipt posts the stock and the accounting entry.
  4. Invoice verification matches the invoice with the order and the receipt.
  5. Payment is released through Financial Accounting.
