    In the SAP ERP system, plant-specific purchasing is possible, which means that purchasing can be organized based on specific plants within the organization. This allows for more localized control and coordination of purchasing activities.

    Cross-plant purchasing is also possible, which means that purchasing can be organized across multiple plants within the organization. This allows for centralized purchasing and coordination of materials across different plants.

    Cross-company code purchasing is another possible scenario in SAP ERP, which means that purchasing can be organized across different company codes within the organization. This allows for centralized purchasing and coordination of materials across different legal entities within the organization.

    C. A SAP ERP user's authorizations for data maintenance can be limited to particular views of a material master.
    F. When maintaining purchasing-relevant data in the material master you must specify the plant as the organizational level.
    Explanation
    The material master is divided into several views, and when entering general data in a particular view, an organizational level must be specified. The data in the basic view is valid on the client-level, meaning it applies to the entire organization. A SAP ERP user's authorizations for data maintenance can be limited to particular views of a material master, allowing for controlled access to specific data. When maintaining purchasing-relevant data in the material master, the organizational level must be specified as the plant, indicating the specific location where the purchasing activities will take place.

    E. Purchasing data about a vendor are maintained on the purchasing the organization level.
    F. You must maintain the accounting data of a vendor on the company code level to be able to accomplish the purchase-to-pay business process.
    Explanation
    The vendor master record contains different views of data that are necessary for controlling transaction data for a vendor. The general data view contains data that are valid on a client-level, meaning they are applicable to all company codes within the client. Accounting data, on the other hand, are stored on the company code level, as they pertain to specific financial transactions within a company code. Purchasing data about a vendor are maintained on the purchasing organization level, as this data is relevant to the procurement process within a specific purchasing organization. Finally, maintaining the accounting data of a vendor on the company code level is necessary to accomplish the purchase-to-pay business process, as it involves financial transactions specific to a company code.

Additionally, purchase requisitions derive information from both material and vendor master records, ensuring accurate and up-to-date data. However, it is not possible to create a purchase requisition for a material that does not have a master data record.

    • E.

      Materials with a master data record cannot be procured for direct consumption.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A consumable material is purchased specifically for a particular account assignment object and is consumed without being put on stock.

    Explanation
    Consumable materials are purchased for a specific account assignment object and are directly consumed without being put into stock. When a material is procured directly for consumption, there is no need for a material master. Consumable materials with a master data record can be managed based on quantity, but not based on value. Materials with a master data record cannot be procured for direct consumption.

    B. The valuation class in the material master of a stock material specifies the account assignment category in the purchase order for material.
    E. The account assignment category must be entered in the purchasing document when procuring material for consumption.
    Explanation
    Stock materials always have a material master record because the material master record contains all the relevant information about the material, such as its description, price, and storage location. The valuation class in the material master of a stock material specifies the account assignment category in the purchase order for material, which determines how the material will be accounted for in the procurement process. The account assignment category must be entered in the purchasing document when procuring material for consumption to ensure proper tracking and allocation of costs.

When procuring consumable materials, the consumption account specified in the purchase order is debited with the procurement value at the time of goods receipt and/or invoice receipt. This is because consumable materials are not held in inventory but are directly consumed in the production process. Similarly, when procuring stock materials, the stock account assigned to this material is debited with the procurement value at the time of goods receipt and/or invoice receipt to accurately reflect the increase in inventory.

The second statement is true because the system transfers the items from the purchase order along with their quantities that are still to be invoiced into the invoice document.
