1 Introduction

This Business Blue Print Document describes the following


➢ Enterprise Structure of Al-Arab Contracting Company LTD
➢ Master Data of Al-Arab Contracting Company LTD
➢ Business Process TO-BE as given by the ACC Key Users
➢ To-Be Process on SAP ERP 6.0 system suggested by ABA Consultants that was agreed
by ACC during workshops
➢ Function Deficits contains Gaps which are at different stages of exploration
➢ Changes to Existing Organization contains business process change
➢ Suggestions by ABA consultant wherever SAP ERP 6.0 features are found to be useful to
ACC business functionality
Processes defined in this document (MM-Business Blue Print) are the one to be implemented during
the next Phases of the project, and this remains the benchmarking & reference point for any further
actions in the remaining Project Phases. To-Be business process realization is dependent on the
following aspects
➢ As-Is Business Knowledge Transfer from ACC Project Team members in Workshop
➢ Business Requirements defined by the ACC Project Team members in Workshop
ACC accepts that the decision to accept the ‘To-Be’ Business Processes is completely its own and
not influenced by ABA.
Current Business Process:
Materials function spreads over number of departments currently existing in ACC. Material
Requirement Planning starts from operations department from project plan. For regular buying of
components either local or import, Purchase Department is performing Purchasing Functions of MM.
Project warehouse and Central warehouse department are involved in incoming and outgoing
material stores management. Finance Department is doing bill passing function of Invoice
Verification in MM. These departments are currently working on independent platforms and system.
Purchase and warehouse are currently performed using EPROO software, which is not linked with
Finance. Finance department is working on ALPHA software. There is no integration of information
between these departments.
Proposed Business Process:
Implementation of SAP ERP 6.0 will integrate these departments with common information and
same across all departments. Same master data such as Material and Vendor will be used across
all departments. Purchase department will be raising purchase order or long-term agreement on
vendors. Stores will receive the goods against these orders and agreement. Finance department will
do the bill passing against these goods receipts.
The Reports listed in this document are the one to be provided to ACC, which will be useful for
management and managerial decision-making.
This Business Blueprint document explains the scope of module along with existing and proposed
processes in Material Management. This document also gives the list of reports, layouts and gaps,
which needs to be developed additionally. Master data required for MM module is also explained in
this document along with migration strategy and template format in which data needs to be
collected. User roles are shown in this document. The complete requirement of ACC for has been

The purchasing organization is further subdivided into purchasing groups (buyer groups), which are
responsible for day-to-day buying activities i.e. Buyers are the purchasers. A purchasing group can
also act for several purchasing organizations. At ACC, purchase group are classified based on the
departments.

Storage Location
An organizational unit allowing the differentiation of material in stocks within a plant. This is the
organizational unit at the inventory is managed on the quantity basis. The storage locations are
listed in the System Configuration Consideration section.

3 Master Data

3.1 Material Master (MD-MM-01)

3.1.1 Material Master: AS-IS


Extensive Business Blueprint workshops have been conducted to understand the business
requirements of ACC, but this has not been done to Map the same business practices/processes in
SAP application. As this implementation is not just aimed to bring in an ERP application In the
company but to as well to refine the current business practices by adopting Best Business Practices
suggested by SAP with its varied experience and proven track record.

Eventually we have not denied those business practices which are must required for the business
functioning but they cannot be mapped in SAP. In this case these requirements have been taken for
Customization/Development as a GAP.

In this context we have considered this section of AS-IS as not required and the succeeding sections
of this process will demonstrate the Best Practiced business processes.

3.1.2 Material Master: TO-BE


ACC shall maintain material master data in Standard SAP System. In SAP ERP 6.0 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.
The material master is used by all components in the SAP Logistics System. The integration of all
material data in a single database object eliminates redundant data storage.
In the SAP Logistics System, the data contained in the material master is required, for example, for
the following functions
➢ In Purchasing for ordering
➢ In Inventory Management for goods movement postings and physical inventory
➢ In Invoice Verification for posting invoices
➢ In Sales and Distribution for sales order processing
➢ In Production Planning and Control for material requirements planning, scheduling, and
work scheduling

3.1.2.1 Material Type


Materials with the same basic attributes are grouped together and assigned to a material type.
This allows managing different materials in a uniform manner in accordance with company's
requirements. SAP Standard Material types can be used for all the materials. At ACC, the
following list of material types are used

S.NO Material Type Description


1 ROH Raw Material
2 NLAG Non-stock Material
3 ERSA Spare Parts

The material type also decides


➢ Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
➢ Which screens appear and in what sequence which departmental data you may enter
➢ What procurement type the material has, that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or
procured externally, or both (for Semi-finish)
Material master creation includes Material Basic data, Purchasing, MRP, Accounting Views,
information like description of the material, base unit of measure, order unit, valuation class, Price
control etc. are given while creating the material master.
Material coding for all material types will be provided as per ACC requirement.

3.1.2.2 Material Group


It is used to group together several materials or services with the same attributes, and to assign
them to a particular material group.
Material groups are maintained in order to meet the analysis & reporting requirements as well for
searching material master records.
Material will be grouped according to their characteristics maintained and 4 digit materials groups
are provided based on CSI code as per ACC requirement.

3.1.2.3 Shipping Instruction


Shipping and packaging instructions are set out in purchase orders issued to vendors. When the
relevant goods receipts are entered, the extent to which the vendor has complied with these
instructions can then be noted.
In PO it will be specified
➢ Which packaging and shipping instructions apply to deliveries of ordered goods
➢ Whether the instructions are to be included in the PO document printout
➢ Which criteria apply in assessing the degree of the vendor's compliance with the
instructions

3.1.2.4 Purchasing Value Key


A key defining the valid reminder days and tolerance limits applicable to this material for the
purchasing department. The purchasing value key serves as a data entry aid.
In the material master record, store the PVK rules governing
➢ The issue of reminders and urging letters (expediters) with respect to nearly due and
overdue deliveries
➢ The admissibility of over- and under deliveries ("overages" and "underage")
➢ Order acknowledgment requirements for PO items
➢ Shipping/packaging instructions
This data appears as default data in purchasing documents and is taken from the material master
record (unless a purchasing info record exists, in which case it is taken from the latter source)

3.1.2.5 Unit of Measurement


Unit that enables you to determine the size of a quantity of material. The unit of measurement is
listed below with its description

Base unit of measure

It is used by the system in managing stocks and carrying out all computations, other departments
can use their own units of measure.

Alternative Unit of Measure

Unit of Issue

Unit of Measure in which a material is issued from the stores. It is the default unit in conjunction with
goods issues and physical Inventory activities.

Order Unit

Unit of Measure in which a material is ordered. It is the default unit in purchasing activities.

Sales Unit

Unit of measure in which a material is sold. It automatically appears as the default in a sales order
and it can be changed.

3.1.2.6 Material Classification


Classes allow to classifying materials with the same characteristics. A material can be assigned to
one or more classes. Classification data is valid for the whole company.

3.1.2.7 CSI Code


CSI codes are commonly used for division. Every division will have sub level groups. The materials
are classified under this group which will have unique CSI code. CSI codes are maintained in
material master EAN field which will be the search field for all related transaction.

be maintained at purchasing organization level.

Vendor Schema Group


The schema group mentioned in the vendor master is useful in determination of pricing
procedures.

Vendor Account Group


The account group is a classifying feature within vendor master records. The account group
determines

➢ The number interval for the account number of the vendor

➢ Whether the number is assigned by the user or by the system

➢ Which specifications are necessary and/or possible in the master record


Vendor account Group mentioned in the vendor master is useful to group the vendor. The following
account groups are listed below

3.3 Source List (MD- MM -03)

3.3.1 Source List: AS-IS


Extensive Business Blueprint workshops have been conducted to understand the business
requirements of ACC, but this has not been done to Map the same business practices/processes in
SAP application. As this implementation is not just aimed to bring in an ERP application In the
company but to as well to refine the current business practices by adopting Best Business Practices
suggested by SAP with its varied experience and proven track record.

Eventually we have not denied those business practices which are must required for the business
functioning but they cannot be mapped in SAP. In this case these requirements have been taken for
Customization/Development as a GAP.

In this context we have considered this section of AS-IS as not required and the succeeding sections
of this process will demonstrate the Best Practiced business processes.

3.3.2 Source List: TO-BE


The source list shall be used to maintain the possible sources of supply of material for a given
period or to block a possible source of supply for a specific period or to completely block the
external procurement of a material. Source List shall be created automatically or manually.
➢ Automatic creation of a record in the source list for a particular material is done when a
purchasing info record is created
➢ Source list shall also be automatically created when an outline agreement is created
➢ Manual maintenance shall be done when a new source / new material is identified
Source list can be maintained at two different levels

A quotation consists of items in which the total quantity and delivery date of an offered material or
service are specified. An item of a quotation may contain a delivery schedule made up of a number
of schedule lines in which the total quantity is broken down into smaller quantities to be delivered
on the specified dates over a certain period.
Compare the prices from all quotations received as a result of a competitive bidding process using
the price comparison list. The comparison list ranks the quotations by item from lowest to highest
price.
Prerequisites
Before generate the price comparison list, the following things need to be consider
Each quotation should have pricing data for the same item. Only then is the correct interpretation
of the mean and total values possible.
If quotations 1 and 2 have pricing data for item 1, but quotation 3 only has price information for
item 2, then the system does not have enough information to accurately compare the prices of all
three quotations.
If a quotation is submitted in a foreign currency, the price is automatically translated into the
currency of the company code, which is determined by purchasing organization.
Reference quotation
Compare the quotations within the list with a sample quotation. The system displays the
percentage deviation between each quotation in the list and the sample quotation.
Mean/minimum value quotation
The price comparison list can also display a "fictitious" quotation reflecting the average or minimum
value of all quotations. Select either the Mean or Minimum value quotation field to choose the type
of fictitious quotation.
Percentage basis
The price comparison list displays the percentage of each item in relation to the maximum,
minimum, or average price. To determine the display type, enter one of the following
➢ “+” Highest value for each item is the 100% value
➢ “-“ Lowest value for each item is the 100% value
➢ +"_" Mean value for each item is the 100% value
Price Comparison
Collective number field will be reference field, which will be used to list down the RFQ’s maintained
with same collective number in price comparison. Eventually price comparison can be done based
on the collective number. Select the appropriate field to specify which of the following should be
taken into account in determining the comparison price.
➢ Cash discount
➢ Delivery costs
➢ Effective price

4.2.9 Purchase Order


Purchase order will be created with reference to the finalized quotation. A purchase order is a
formal request or instruction from a purchasing organization to a vendor or a plant to supply or
provide a certain quantity of goods or services at or by a certain point in time.
A purchase order (PO) consists of a document header and a number of items.

The information shown in the header relates to the entire PO. For example, the terms of payment
and the delivery terms are defined in the header.
A procurement type is defined for each of the document items. The following procurement types
exist
➢ Standard
➢ Subcontracting
➢ Stock transfer
➢ External service
Delivery of the total quantity of material (or performance of the total volume of services) specified in
a purchase order item can be spread over a certain period in a delivery schedule, consisting of
lines indicating the individual quantities with their corresponding planned delivery dates.
Conditions
Conditions can apply at various levels
➢ To the entire purchase order
➢ At item level, to the material to be supplied
This component enables to store pricing stipulations agreed with the vendor such as applicable
discounts or surcharges, or stipulations regarding the payment of freight costs in the system. It can
be enter in quotations, outline purchase agreements, and info records. The option of entering
general conditions is at vendor level, for example. The system then applies the conditions in
determining the price in purchase orders (POs). The further conditions are in the PO itself
Prices shall be of three types
➢ Gross Price which is exclusive of Discounts or surcharges
➢ Net Price inclusive of surcharges, discounts, taxes
➢ Effective Price which includes the Net Price but taking delivery costs, cash discount
and other incidental costs
Pricing conditions shall be maintained in the purchasing info records or in the header or item level as
applicable at the time of PO creation.
Freight
Freight is to be maintained as a condition type. The Planned Freight costs shall be booked in the
same Purchase Order for which the procurement is to be done. In cases where the material
carrying party is different from the one on whom the PO is raised the Freight Vendor shall also be
maintained in the same PO.

For uncertain freights, approximate/minimal freight shall be entered in the PO, for the internal
system purpose and final PO for vendor shall be sent without mentioning the freight. And when the
actual freight comes to be known, during invoice entry, the correct freight amount can be entered.
The freight invoice will be booked as soon as the material is received in the stores and the value will
be updated in the stocks.
Discount
The Discount condition records shall be maintained with conditions and values associated with
conditions. While processing a transaction, the system will search for valid record and as soon as it
finds the record matching the condition of sale it should return a discount value. Some of the
discounts can be maintained at the time of preparing the purchasing document.

➢ Goods receipt with reference to purchase order


➢ Other goods receipts
The first type and second type of Goods receipt is not required for ACC. Goods receipt with
reference to purchase order shall cover Project PO, Asset PO, and General PO etc. At a time GR
can be made against only one purchase order.
Other goods receipts include initial entry of stock balances, external goods receipts without a
purchase order.
If a material is delivered for a purchase order, it is important for all of the departments involved that
the goods receipt entry in the system references this purchase order, for the following reason
➢ Goods receiving can check whether the delivery actually corresponds to the order
➢ The system can propose data from the purchase order during entry of the goods receipt (for
example, the material ordered, its quantity, and so on). This simplifies both data entry and
checking (over deliveries and under deliveries)
➢ At the time of Goods Receipt system will update the stock on Project
➢ The delivery is marked in the purchase order history. This allows the Purchasing
department to monitor the purchase order history and initiate reminder procedures in the
event of a late delivery
➢ The vendor invoice is checked against the ordered quantity and the delivered quantity
➢ The goods receipt is valuated on the basis of the purchase order price or the invoice price

4.2.13 Invoice Receipt


Logistics Invoice Verification checks incoming invoices for accuracy with regards to content, price,
and accounting. The main task of Logistics Invoice Verification is to complete the procedure of
materials procurement by posting the vendor invoice and to pass on information concerning the
invoice to Financial Accounting and subsequent applications. For each incoming invoice, Logistics
Invoice Verification creates an MM invoice document and an FI invoice document.
The invoice documents update data in
➢ Materials Management
➢ Financial Accounting
The Accounts department does invoice entry after the stores user makes relevant entries & verifies
conditions in the PO (e.g. Price, Freight and Payment terms). If the conditions in the PO are
satisfied then the Invoice forwarded to finance department.
The Invoice Verification involves the following processes
➢ Invoice
➢ Credit Memo
➢ Subsequent Debit
➢ Subsequent Credit
Invoice option is used when the payment is to be made to the vendor.
Credit memo is used for materials returned back to the vendor. During invoice verification the
system shall display the materials returned back to the vendor for which deductions will be made.

Subsequent debit shall be used for transactions where the Original invoice has already been
cleared and a subsequent invoice has been raised by the vendor for materials already sent.
Example: Rate change with retrospective effect.
Subsequent Credit shall be used when any deduction is to be levied on the vendor.
There are 3 options that can be used for Invoice Verification.
➢ Goods / Service Item
➢ Delivery Costs
➢ Goods/Service Item + Delivery costs
Based on the Goods/Service and delivery vendors, the option shall be selected.

Vendor invoice shall be entered with reference to Purchase Order. More than one purchase order
can also be processed at one time for one vendor. If required the vendor can be changed from the
original vendor to whom the payment is to be done. If any Invoice verification has been done for any
GR for a PO, the quantity for this GR will not appear in the list. In case where the freight vendor is
different, only those entries related to the delivery costs will be chosen for the payments to this
vendor. It is also possible to raise credit memo against the goods returned to the vendor. In case of
Subsequent debit/credit to be made to the vendor account, (reasons can be change of rates for
previous supplies made, etc), the entries are made using the Invoice Verification. Adjustments to
other accounts like Insurance claims Account, etc. can be entered with invoice verification.

4.2.13.1 Subsequent Debit/Credit

➢ A subsequent debit/credit arises if a transaction has already been settled, and a further
invoice or credit memo is received afterwards
➢ A subsequent debit/credit changes the total invoice value of a purchase order item; the total
invoice quantity remains unchanged. Therefore, only a value-based update of the purchasing
transaction takes place. There is no quantity-based update
➢ An invoice is entered as a subsequent debit if a purchase order item has already been
invoiced and further costs are incurred. (Example: A vendor has inadvertently invoiced at too
low a price and then sends a second invoice for the difference.)
➢ Enter a credit memo as a subsequent credit if a purchase order item was invoiced at too high
a price and later a credit memo is received. (Example: A vendor has inadvertently invoiced at
too high a price and then sends a credit memo for the difference.)
➢ When a subsequent debit/credit is entered, the system suggests the entire invoiced quantity,
but no value. The maximum quantity that can be subsequently debited or credited is the
quantity that has already been invoiced. A subsequent debit/credit for a purchase order item
can be entered if an invoice has already been posted for that item
➢ A subsequent debit/credit cannot refer to a particular invoice
➢ When a subsequent debit/credit is posted, the system posts the invoice amount to the vendor
account
➢ If the quantity to be subsequently debited or credited has already been delivered, the system
makes the offsetting entry to the stock account or the price difference account, depending on
the type of price control used
➢ For purchase order items with account assignment, the system makes the offsetting entry to
the consumption account
➢ If the quantity for subsequent debit/credit has not yet been delivered, the posting is made to
the GR/IR clearing account. Later, when the goods receipt is posted - depending on the price

account, or for PO items with account assignment it posts to the consumption account

4.2.13.2 Delivery Cost-Planned / Unplanned


Freight charges can be planned in the purchase order. More often, they are not known in detail
when the purchase order is created and are entered only in Invoice Verification on the basis of the
invoice.
In the SAP system, delivery costs are divided into
➢ Planned delivery costs
➢ Unplanned delivery costs
Planned delivery costs are entered when the purchase order is created.
Unplanned delivery costs are not known at the time of the purchase order, and are first entered at
invoice receipt. Delivery costs can be settled together with goods items, or an invoice containing
only delivery costs can be entered.
Planned delivery costs are delivery costs that were agreed with the vendor, a freight forwarding
agent, or a customs authority before the purchase order was made, and that are therefore entered
when you enter the purchase order. It is entered item-by-item in the purchase order. They are
assigned accordingly at invoice receipt.
The advantage of planned delivery costs is that the delivery costs become a part of the valuation of
a material at goods receipt, or - for a purchase order with account assignment - are debited to the
account assignment object.
Planned delivery costs are not binding to one specific vendor. When planning the delivery costs in
the purchase order, enter a specific vendor for the delivery costs (such as a freight vendor or a
customs authority). In Invoice Verification, these delivery costs can also be posted to a different
invoicing party to different vendor on the Detail tab page.
Planned delivery costs can be divided into
➢ Freight costs
➢ Customs
Delivery costs can be invoiced in one of three ways
➢ Fixed amount, independent of scope of supply
➢ Quantity-dependent amount
➢ Percentage of value of goods to be delivered
For planned delivery costs, at goods receipt the system posts relevant provisions to a clearing
account. Depending on the origin type, specific clearing account can be customized. This clearing
account is balanced when the corresponding invoice is posted. If no price differences arise
between the planned delivery costs from the purchase order and the requested delivery costs in
the invoice, the material master record does not change at the time of invoice. If price differences
do arise, these are treated in the same way as price variances for ordered materials.
Unplanned delivery costs are delivery costs that were not agreed upon in the purchase order, and
that are first entered at invoice receipt. Enter the total amount of the unplanned delivery costs on
the Detail tab page in invoice.
System automatically posts the unplanned delivery costs to the individual items, or to a separate
G/L account based on the requirement.

Document : ACC-BBP-MM-V1.2 20100116 UPDATED :

During automatic distribution to the invoice items, the amounts in the items are automatically
increased by the delivery costs part during the invoice post, and it is treated as price variances.
The system does not perform a price check after automatically distributing the delivery costs.
Unplanned delivery costs that were distributed to individual items are not listed separately in the
PO history. They are already a part of the calculated value.
If the unplanned delivery costs are posted to a separate G/L account, the unplanned delivery costs
are not debited to the stocks or the account assignment objects. The system does not show
unplanned delivery costs that are posted to a separate G/L account, in the PO history.
Invoice post contains only unplanned delivery costs with reference to a purchase order, if at least
one invoice has already been posted for the purchase order. Otherwise all the invoiced values
would be zero, and it would not be possible to distribute the delivery costs. The system apportions
unplanned delivery costs to the items in proportion to the total value invoiced so far and the values
in the current invoice. The system can also be able to distribute unplanned delivery costs manually
to individual invoice items, by changing the amounts of the invoice items.
In the case of unplanned delivery costs, the costs are not split up according to their origin. The way
in which the system posts unplanned delivery costs depends on the settings in Customizing. They
are either distributed automatically to the individual invoice items, or posted to a separate G/L
account. During automatic distribution, the unplanned delivery costs are posted according to the
price control.
For a material with moving average price, the system posts to the stock account as long as there is
a stock coverage.

5 Project Procurement - Material via Contract (ID: MM-02)

5.1 Project Procurement – Material via Contract: AS-IS


Extensive Business Blueprint workshops have been conducted to understand the business
requirements of ACC, but this has not been done to Map the same business practices/processes in
SAP application. As this implementation is not just aimed to bring in an ERP application in the
company but to as well to refine the current business practices by adopting Best Business Practices
suggested by SAP with its varied experience and proven track record.

Eventually we have not denied those business practices which are must required for the business
functioning but they cannot be mapped in SAP. In this case these requirements have been taken for
Customization/Development as a GAP.

In this context we have considered this section of AS-IS as not required and the succeeding sections
of this process will demonstrate the Best Practiced business processes.

➢ Material RFQ
➢ Service RFQ
➢ Tendering RFQ
Document types will have separate numbering series. Material RFQ document type will be used to
execute this business process. Refer system configuration consideration.

5.2.8 Maintain Quotation


A quotation is an offer by a vendor to a purchasing organization regarding the supply of materials
or performance of services subject to specified conditions.
The RFQ and the quotation form is a single document. Prices and conditions quoted by vendors
are entered in the original RFQ. RFQ will issue to several vendors, the system will determine the
most favorable quotation submitted and automatically generate letters of rejection to the
unsuccessful bidders. The system stores the prices and terms of delivery from certain quotations in
an info record for future accessing.
A quotation is legally binding on the vendor for a certain period. The quotation is the vendor’s
response to a request for quotation issued by a purchasing organization.
A quotation consists of items in which the total quantity and delivery date of an offered material or
service are specified. An item of a quotation may contain a delivery schedule made up of a number

of schedule lines in which the total quantity is broken down into smaller quantities to be delivered
on the specified dates over a certain period.
Compare the prices from all quotations received as a result of a competitive bidding process using
the price comparison list. The comparison list ranks the quotations by item from lowest to highest
price.
Prerequisites
Before generate the price comparison list, the following things need to be consider
Each quotation should have pricing data for the same item. Only then is the correct interpretation
of the mean and total values possible.
If quotations 1 and 2 have pricing data for item 1, but quotation 3 only has price information for
item 2, then the system does not have enough information to accurately compare the prices of all
three quotations.
If a quotation is submitted in a foreign currency, the price is automatically translated into the
currency of the company code, which is determined by purchasing organization.
Reference quotation
Compare the quotations within the list with a sample quotation. The system displays the
percentage deviation between each quotation in the list and the sample quotation.
Mean/minimum value quotation
The price comparison list can also display a "fictitious" quotation reflecting the average or minimum
value of all quotations. Select either the Mean or Minimum value quotation field to choose the type
of fictitious quotation.
Percentage basis
The price comparison list displays the percentage of each item in relation to the maximum,
minimum, or average price. To determine the display type, enter one of the following
➢ “+” Highest value for each item is the 100% value
➢ “-“ Lowest value for each item is the 100% value
➢ +"_" Mean value for each item is the 100% value
Price Comparison
Collective number field will be reference field, which will be used to list down the RFQ’s maintained
with same collective number in price comparison. Eventually price comparison can be done based
on the collective number. Select the appropriate field to specify which of the following should be
taken into account in determining the comparison price.
➢ Cash discount
➢ Delivery costs
➢ Effective price

5.2.9 Contract
The procurement of the agreed material is done by raising the PO as per contract terms and
conditions. A form of outline purchase agreement under which materials are procured on
predetermined dates within a certain time period for a certain Quantity or Value of contract

5.2.10 Contract Document Type


Contract document types are classified as
➢ Quantity Contract
➢ Value Contract

Document types will have separate numbering series. Quantity or Value contract document type will
be used to execute this business process. Refer system configuration consideration.

5.2.11 Purchase Order


Purchase order will be created with reference to the finalized quotation. A purchase order is a
formal request or instruction from a purchasing organization to a vendor or a plant to supply or
provide a certain quantity of goods or services at or by a certain point in time.
A purchase order (PO) consists of a document header and a number of items.
The information shown in the header relates to the entire PO. For example, the terms of payment
and the delivery terms are defined in the header.
A procurement type is defined for each of the document items. The following procurement types
exist
➢ Standard
➢ Subcontracting
➢ Stock transfer
➢ External service
Delivery of the total quantity of material (or performance of the total volume of services) specified in
a purchase order item can be spread over a certain period in a delivery schedule, consisting of
lines indicating the individual quantities with their corresponding planned delivery dates.
Conditions
Conditions can apply at various levels
➢ To the entire purchase order
➢ At item level, to the material to be supplied
This component enables to store pricing stipulations agreed with the vendor such as applicable
discounts or surcharges, or stipulations regarding the payment of freight costs in the system. It can

be enter in quotations, outline purchase agreements, and info records. The option of entering
general conditions is at vendor level, for example. The system then applies the conditions in
determining the price in purchase orders (POs). The further conditions are in the PO itself
Prices shall be of three types
➢ Gross Price which is exclusive of Discounts or surcharges
➢ Net Price inclusive of surcharges, discounts, taxes
➢ Effective Price which includes the Net Price but taking delivery costs, cash discount
and other incidental costs
Pricing conditions shall be maintained in the purchasing info records or in the header or item level as
applicable at the time of PO creation.
Freight
Freight is to be maintained as a condition type. The Planned Freight costs shall be booked in the
same Purchase Order for which the procurement is to be done. In cases where the material
carrying party is different from the one on whom the PO is raised the Freight Vendor shall also be
maintained in the same PO.
For uncertain freights, approximate/minimal freight shall be entered in the PO, for the internal
system purpose and final PO for vendor shall be sent without mentioning the freight. And when the
actual freight comes to be known, during invoice entry, the correct freight amount can be entered.
The freight invoice will be booked as soon as the material is received in the stores and the value will
be updated in the stocks.
Discount
The Discount condition records shall be maintained with conditions and values associated with
conditions. While processing a transaction, the system will search for valid record and as soon as it
finds the record matching the condition of sale it should return a discount value. Some of the
discounts can be maintained at the time of preparing the purchasing document.
Insurance
The Insurance conditions records shall be maintained with conditions and values associated with
conditions. The calculation of Insurance value is based on the purchase order value plus freight
value of the goods.
Customs Duty
The Customs conditions records shall be maintained with conditions and values associated with
conditions. Scaling conditions shall be maintained for this condition on the purchasing documents.
Transportation
The Transportation conditions records shall be maintained with conditions and values associated
with conditions. The calculation of transportation value is based on the quantity which is
maintained in the purchase order.
Vendor Confirmations
Vendors can issue confirmations to the relevant purchasing organization indicating their
compliance or non-compliance with scheduled delivery dates.
PO History
The transactions following on from a purchase order are documented in the PO history on an item-
specific basis.

Instead of the vendor as the order recipient, other business partners can appear in various partner
roles (e.g. goods supplier or invoicing party).
Plant
In the purchase order, each item is destined for a certain plant. Each plant belongs to a company
code, to which the vendor’s (creditor’s) invoice is directed.
Texts
Enter text in a purchase order directly or change texts that are suggested by the system. There are
two kinds of text
➢ Header text: applies to the entire document. Project Address has to be maintained in
Purchase Order header text in Delivery text value for printing purpose
➢ Item text: applies only to the relevant item
Define texts appearance and order on printouts in Customizing for Purchasing.

5.2.12 Purchase Order Document Types


Purchase Order document types are classified as
➢ Project PO
➢ Asset PO
➢ General PO
These Purchase Documents will have separate numbering series.
Project PO will cover the domestic and international procurement need of civil and architecture
materials, electro mechanical materials and work orders are account assigned to a respective
project WBS element & G/L account.
Asset purchases, Asset master record will be created by the Finance department and it will be
released for Procurement activities. Based on the Asset master record, purchase department will
release Purchase order. At the time of creating Asset Purchase Order the relevant cost centre will
be incorporated. Goods Receipt is not required for asset purchase, Invoice has been released
directly for asset purchase.
General purchases will cover the consumables materials that relates to a project specific or
general department.
At the time of Purchase Order creation, system will capture from various masters e.g. purchasing
info record, vendor master etc. This can be changed subsequently change history of Purchase
order is available at header as well as item level.

5.2.13 Purchase Order Approval

release will be done only by the Procurement Manager. Now if the value is more than 10,000 SAR
and less than 20,000 SAR, the release will be done by first the Procurement Manager and then the
Commercial Manager and if the value is more than 20,000 SAR, the release will be done by
Procurement Manager, Commercial manager & then General Manager.

5.2.14 Goods Receipt


The receipt of goods from an external vendor. A goods receipt leads to an increase in warehouse
stock. System distinguishes between the following types of goods receipts
➢ Goods receipts with reference to a reservation
➢ Goods receipts with reference to an order
➢ Goods receipt with reference to purchase order
➢ Other goods receipts
The first type and second type of Goods receipt is not required for ACC. Goods receipt with
reference to purchase order shall cover Project PO, Asset PO, and General PO etc. At a time GR
can be made against only one purchase order.
Other goods receipts include initial entry of stock balances, external goods receipts without a
purchase order.
If a material is delivered for a purchase order, it is important for all of the departments involved that
the goods receipt entry in the system references this purchase order, for the following reason
➢ Goods receiving can check whether the delivery actually corresponds to the order
➢ The system can propose data from the purchase order during entry of the goods receipt (for
example, the material ordered, its quantity, and so on). This simplifies both data entry and
checking (over deliveries and under deliveries)
➢ The delivery is marked in the purchase order history. This allows the Purchasing
department to monitor the purchase order history and initiate reminder procedures in the
event of a late delivery
➢ The vendor invoice is checked against the ordered quantity and the delivered quantity
➢ The goods receipt is valuated on the basis of the purchase order price or the invoice price

5.2.15 Invoice Receipt


Logistics Invoice Verification checks incoming invoices for accuracy with regards to content, price,
and accounting. The main task of Logistics Invoice Verification is to complete the procedure of
materials procurement by posting the vendor invoice and to pass on information concerning the
invoice to Financial Accounting and subsequent applications. For each incoming invoice, Logistics
Invoice Verification creates an MM invoice document and an FI invoice document.
The invoice documents update data in
➢ Materials Management
➢ Financial Accounting
The Accounts department does invoice entry after the stores user makes relevant entries & verifies
conditions in the PO (e.g. Price, Freight and Payment terms). If the conditions in the PO are
satisfied then the Invoice forwarded to finance department.
The Invoice Verification involves the following processes
➢ Invoice
➢ Credit Memo
➢ Subsequent Debit
➢ Subsequent Credit
Invoice option is used when the payment is to be made to the vendor.
Credit memo is used for materials returned back to the vendor. During invoice verification the
system shall display the materials returned back to the vendor for which deductions will be made.
Subsequent debit shall be used for transactions where the Original invoice has already been
cleared and a subsequent invoice has been raised by the vendor for materials already sent.
Example: Rate change with retrospective effect.
Subsequent Credit shall be used when any deduction is to be levied on the vendor.
There are 3 options that can be used for Invoice Verification.
➢ Goods / Service Item
➢ Delivery Costs
➢ Goods/Service Item + Delivery costs
Based on the Goods/Service and delivery vendors, the option shall be selected.

Vendor invoice shall be entered with reference to Purchase Order. More than one purchase order
can also be processed at one time for one vendor. If required the vendor can be changed from the
original vendor to whom the payment is to be done. If any Invoice verification has been done for any
GR for a PO, the quantity for this GR will not appear in the list. In case where the freight vendor is
different, only those entries related to the delivery costs will be chosen for the payments to this
vendor. It is also possible to raise credit memo against the goods returned to the vendor. In case of
Subsequent debit/credit to be made to the vendor account, (reasons can be change of rates for
previous supplies made, etc), the entries are made using the Invoice Verification. Adjustments to
other accounts like Insurance claims Account, etc. can be entered with invoice verification.

5.2.15.1 Subsequent Debit/Credit


➢ A subsequent debit/credit arises if a transaction has already been settled, and a further
invoice or credit memo is received afterwards.

Business Blueprint - Material Management
Created By: Rajkumar.A Created : 24-Oct-21 10/24/2021
Document : ACC-BBP-MM-V1.2 20100116 UPDATED :

➢ A subsequent debit/credit changes the total invoice value of a purchase order item; the total
invoice quantity remains unchanged. Therefore, only a value-based update of the purchasing
transaction takes place. There is no quantity-based update.
➢ An invoice is entered as a subsequent debit if a purchase order item has already been
invoiced and further costs are incurred. (Example: A vendor has inadvertently invoiced at too
low a price and then sends a second invoice for the difference.)
➢ Enter a credit memo as a subsequent credit if a purchase order item was invoiced at too high
a price and later a credit memo is received. (Example: A vendor has inadvertently invoiced at
too high a price and then sends a credit memo for the difference.)
➢ When a subsequent debit/credit is entered, the system suggests the entire invoiced quantity,
but no value. The maximum quantity that can be subsequently debited or credited is the
quantity that has already been invoiced. A subsequent debit/credit for a purchase order item
can be entered if an invoice has already been posted for that item.
➢ A subsequent debit/credit cannot refer to a particular invoice.
➢ When a subsequent debit/credit is posted, the system posts the invoice amount to the vendor
account.
➢ If the quantity to be subsequently debited or credited has already been delivered, the system
makes the offsetting entry to the stock account or the price difference account, depending on
the type of price control used.
➢ For purchase order items with account assignment, the system makes the offsetting entry to
the consumption account.
➢ If the quantity for subsequent debit/credit has not yet been delivered, the posting is made to
the GR/IR clearing account. Later, when the goods receipt is posted - depending on the price
control - the system posts the debit/credit to the stock account or the price difference
account, or for PO items with account assignment it posts to the consumption account.

5.2.15.2 Delivery Cost-Planned / Unplanned


Freight charges can be planned in the purchase order. More often, they are not known in detail
when the purchase order is created and are entered only in Invoice Verification on the basis of the
invoice.
In the SAP system, delivery costs are divided into
➢ Planned delivery costs
➢ Unplanned delivery costs
Planned delivery costs are entered when the purchase order is created.
Unplanned delivery costs are not known at the time of the purchase order, and are first entered at
invoice receipt. Delivery costs can be settled together with goods items, or an invoice containing
only delivery costs can be entered.
Planned delivery costs are delivery costs that were agreed with the vendor, a freight forwarding
agent, or a customs authority before the purchase order was made, and that are therefore entered
when you enter the purchase order. It is entered item-by-item in the purchase order. They are
assigned accordingly at invoice receipt.
The advantage of planned delivery costs is that the delivery costs become a part of the valuation of
a material at goods receipt, or - for a purchase order with account assignment - are debited to the
account assignment object.
Planned delivery costs are not binding to one specific vendor. When planning the delivery costs in
the purchase order, enter a specific vendor for the delivery costs (such as a freight vendor or a

customs authority). In Invoice Verification, these delivery costs can also be posted to a different
invoicing party to different vendor on the Detail tab page.
Planned delivery costs can be divided into
➢ Freight costs
➢ Customs
Delivery costs can be invoiced in one of three ways
➢ Fixed amount, independent of scope of supply
➢ Quantity-dependent amount
➢ Percentage of value of goods to be delivered
For planned delivery costs, at goods receipt the system posts relevant provisions to a clearing
account. Depending on the origin type, specific clearing account can be customized. This clearing
account is balanced when the corresponding invoice is posted. If no price differences arise
between the planned delivery costs from the purchase order and the requested delivery costs in
the invoice, the material master record does not change at the time of invoice. If price differences
do arise, these are treated in the same way as price variances for ordered materials.
Unplanned delivery costs are delivery costs that were not agreed upon in the purchase order, and
that are first entered at invoice receipt. Enter the total amount of the unplanned delivery costs on
the Detail tab page in invoice.
System automatically posts the unplanned delivery costs to the individual items, or to a separate
G/L account based on the requirement.
During automatic distribution to the invoice items, the amounts in the items are automatically
increased by the delivery costs part during the invoice post, and it is treated as price variances.
The system does not perform a price check after automatically distributing the delivery costs.
Unplanned delivery costs that were distributed to individual items are not listed separately in the
PO history. They are already a part of the calculated value.
If the unplanned delivery costs are posted to a separate G/L account, the unplanned delivery costs
are not debited to the stocks or the account assignment objects. The system does not show
unplanned delivery costs that are posted to a separate G/L account, in the PO history.
Invoice post contains only unplanned delivery costs with reference to a purchase order, if at least
one invoice has already been posted for the purchase order. Otherwise all the invoiced values
would be zero, and it would not be possible to distribute the delivery costs. The system apportions
unplanned delivery costs to the items in proportion to the total value invoiced so far and the values
in the current invoice. The system can also be able to distribute unplanned delivery costs manually
to individual invoice items, by changing the amounts of the invoice items.
In the case of unplanned delivery costs, the costs are not split up according to their origin. The way
in which the system posts unplanned delivery costs depends on the settings in Customizing. They
are either distributed automatically to the individual invoice items, or posted to a separate G/L
account. During automatic distribution, the unplanned delivery costs are posted according to the
price control.
For a material with moving average price, the system posts to the stock account as long as there is
a stock coverage.

A purchase order (PO) consists of a document header and a number of items.


The information shown in the header relates to the entire PO. For example, the terms of payment
and the delivery terms are defined in the header.
A procurement type is defined for each of the document items. The following procurement types
exist
➢ Standard
➢ Subcontracting
➢ Stock transfer
➢ External service
Delivery of the total quantity of material (or performance of the total volume of services) specified in
a purchase order item can be spread over a certain period in a delivery schedule, consisting of
lines indicating the individual quantities with their corresponding planned delivery dates.
Account Assignment category is mandatory for consumable materials in Purchase order.
At ACC, all the consumable materials are non-stock material, whenever if the goods are received
the system will automatically book the charges in to the consumption account.
Conditions
Conditions can apply at various levels
➢ To the entire purchase order
➢ At item level, to the material to be supplied
This component enables to store pricing stipulations agreed with the vendor such as applicable
discounts or surcharges, or stipulations regarding the payment of freight costs in the system. It can
be enter in quotations, outline purchase agreements, and info records. The option of entering
general conditions is at vendor level, for example. The system then applies the conditions in
determining the price in purchase orders (POs). The further conditions are in the PO itself
Prices shall be of three types
➢ Gross Price which is exclusive of Discounts or surcharges
➢ Net Price inclusive of surcharges, discounts, taxes
➢ Effective Price which includes the Net Price but taking delivery costs, cash discount
and other incidental costs
Pricing conditions shall be maintained in the purchasing info records or in the header or item level as
applicable at the time of PO creation.
Freight
Freight is to be maintained as a condition type. The Planned Freight costs shall be booked in the
same Purchase Order for which the procurement is to be done. In cases where the material
carrying party is different from the one on whom the PO is raised the Freight Vendor shall also be
maintained in the same PO.
For uncertain freights, approximate/minimal freight shall be entered in the PO, for the internal
system purpose and final PO for vendor shall be sent without mentioning the freight. And when the
actual freight comes to be known, during invoice entry, the correct freight amount can be entered.
The freight invoice will be booked as soon as the material is received in the stores and the value will
be updated in the stocks.

Discount
The Discount condition records shall be maintained with conditions and values associated with
conditions. While processing a transaction, the system will search for valid record and as soon as it
finds the record matching the condition of sale it should return a discount value. Some of the
discounts can be maintained at the time of preparing the purchasing document.
Insurance
The Insurance conditions records shall be maintained with conditions and values associated with
conditions. The calculation of Insurance value is based on the purchase order value plus freight
value of the goods.
Customs Duty
The Customs conditions records shall be maintained with conditions and values associated with
conditions. Scaling conditions shall be maintained for this condition on the purchasing documents.
Transportation
The Transportation conditions records shall be maintained with conditions and values associated
with conditions. The calculation of transportation value is based on the quantity which is
maintained in the purchase order.
Vendor Confirmations
Vendors can issue confirmations to the relevant purchasing organization indicating their
compliance or non-compliance with scheduled delivery dates.
PO History
The transactions following on from a purchase order are documented in the PO history on an item-
specific basis.
Partner Roles
Instead of the vendor as the order recipient, other business partners can appear in various partner
roles (e.g. goods supplier or invoicing party).
Plant
In the purchase order, each item is destined for a certain plant. Each plant belongs to a company
code, to which the vendor’s (creditor’s) invoice is directed.
Texts
Enter text in a purchase order directly or change texts that are suggested by the system. There are
two kinds of text
➢ Header text: applies to the entire document. Project Address has to be maintained in
Purchase Order header text in Delivery text value for printing purpose
➢ Item text: applies only to the relevant item
Define texts appearance and order on printouts in Customizing for Purchasing.

Project PO will cover the domestic and international procurement need of civil and architecture
materials, electro mechanical materials and work orders are account assigned to a respective
project WBS element & G/L account.
Asset purchases, Asset master record will be created by the Finance department and it will be
released for Procurement activities. Based on the Asset master record, purchase department will
release Purchase order. At the time of creating Asset Purchase Order the relevant cost centre will
be incorporated. Goods Receipt is not required for asset purchase, Invoice has been released
directly for asset purchase.
General purchases will cover the consumables materials that relates to a project specific or
general department.
At the time of Purchase Order creation, system will capture from various masters e.g. purchasing
info record, vendor master etc. This can be changed subsequently change history of Purchase
order is available at header as well as item level.

6.2.8 Goods Receipt


The receipt of goods from an external vendor. A goods receipt leads to an increase in warehouse
stock. System distinguishes between the following types of goods receipts
➢ Goods receipt with reference to purchase order
➢ Other goods receipts
Goods receipt with reference to purchase order shall cover General PO. At a time GR can be made
against only one purchase order.

At ACC, all the consumable materials are non-stock material, whenever if the goods are received
the system will automatically book the charges in to the consumption account. Stock will not get
updated in the system for consumable materials.
Other goods receipts include initial entry of stock balances, external goods receipts without a
purchase order.
If a material is delivered for a purchase order, it is important for all of the departments involved that
the goods receipt entry in the system references this purchase order, for the following reason
➢ Goods receiving can check whether the delivery actually corresponds to the order.
➢ The system can propose data from the purchase order during entry of the goods receipt (for
example, the material ordered, its quantity, and so on). This simplifies both data entry and
checking (over deliveries and under deliveries).
➢ The delivery is marked in the purchase order history. This allows the Purchasing
department to monitor the purchase order history and initiate reminder procedures in the
event of a late delivery.
➢ The vendor invoice is checked against the ordered quantity and the delivered quantity.
➢ The goods receipt is valuated on the basis of the purchase order price or the invoice price.

6.2.9 Invoice Receipt


Logistics Invoice Verification checks incoming invoices for accuracy with regards to content, price,
and accounting. The main task of Logistics Invoice Verification is to complete the procedure of
materials procurement by posting the vendor invoice and to pass on information concerning the
invoice to Financial Accounting and subsequent applications. For each incoming invoice, Logistics
Invoice Verification creates an MM invoice document and an FI invoice document.
The invoice documents update data in
➢ Materials Management
➢ Financial Accounting
The Accounts department does invoice entry after the stores user makes relevant entries & verifies
conditions in the PO (e.g. Price, Freight and Payment terms). If the conditions in the PO are
satisfied then the Invoice forwarded to finance department.
The Invoice Verification involves the following processes
➢ Invoice
➢ Credit Memo
➢ Subsequent Debit
➢ Subsequent Credit

Document : ACC-BBP-MM-V1.2 20100116 UPDATED :

Invoice option is used when the payment is to be made to the vendor.


Credit memo is used for materials returned back to the vendor. During invoice verification the
system shall display the materials returned back to the vendor for which deductions will be made.
Subsequent debit shall be used for transactions where the Original invoice has already been
cleared and a subsequent invoice has been raised by the vendor for materials already sent.
Example: Rate change with retrospective effect.
Subsequent Credit shall be used when any deduction is to be levied on the vendor.
There are 3 options that can be used for Invoice Verification.
➢ Goods / Service Item
➢ Delivery Costs
➢ Goods/Service Item + Delivery costs
Based on the Goods/Service and delivery vendors, the option shall be selected.

Vendor invoice shall be entered with reference to Purchase Order. More than one purchase order
can also be processed at one time for one vendor. If required the vendor can be changed from the
original vendor to whom the payment is to be done. If any Invoice verification has been done for any
GR for a PO, the quantity for this GR will not appear in the list. In case where the freight vendor is
different, only those entries related to the delivery costs will be chosen for the payments to this
vendor. It is also possible to raise credit memo against the goods returned to the vendor. In case of
Subsequent debit/credit to be made to the vendor account, (reasons can be change of rates for
previous supplies made, etc), the entries are made using the Invoice Verification. Adjustments to
other accounts like Insurance claims Account, etc. can be entered with invoice verification.

6.2.9.1 Subsequent Debit/Credit

➢ A subsequent debit/credit arises if a transaction has already been settled, and a further
invoice or credit memo is received afterwards
➢ A subsequent debit/credit changes the total invoice value of a purchase order item; the total
invoice quantity remains unchanged. Therefore, only a value-based update of the purchasing
transaction takes place. There is no quantity-based update
➢ An invoice is entered as a subsequent debit if a purchase order item has already been
invoiced and further costs are incurred. (Example: A vendor has inadvertently invoiced at too
low a price and then sends a second invoice for the difference.)
➢ Enter a credit memo as a subsequent credit if a purchase order item was invoiced at too high
a price and later a credit memo is received. (Example: A vendor has inadvertently invoiced at
too high a price and then sends a credit memo for the difference.)
➢ When a subsequent debit/credit is entered, the system suggests the entire invoiced quantity,
but no value. The maximum quantity that can be subsequently debited or credited is the
quantity that has already been invoiced. A subsequent debit/credit for a purchase order item
can be entered if an invoice has already been posted for that item
➢ A subsequent debit/credit cannot refer to a particular invoice
➢ When a subsequent debit/credit is posted, the system posts the invoice amount to the vendor
account
➢ If the quantity to be subsequently debited or credited has already been delivered, the system
makes the offsetting entry to the stock account or the price difference account, depending on
the type of price control used
➢ For purchase order items with account assignment, the system makes the offsetting entry to
the consumption account

➢ If the quantity for subsequent debit/credit has not yet been delivered, the posting is made to
the GR/IR clearing account. Later, when the goods receipt is posted - depending on the price
control - the system posts the debit/credit to the stock account or the price difference
account, or for PO items with account assignment it posts to the consumption account

6.2.9.2 Delivery Cost-Planned / Unplanned


Freight charges can be planned in the purchase order. More often, they are not known in detail
when the purchase order is created and are entered only in Invoice Verification on the basis of the
invoice.
In the SAP system, delivery costs are divided into
➢ Planned delivery costs
➢ Unplanned delivery costs
Planned delivery costs are entered when the purchase order is created.
Unplanned delivery costs are not known at the time of the purchase order, and are first entered at
invoice receipt. Delivery costs can be settled together with goods items, or an invoice containing
only delivery costs can be entered.
Planned delivery costs are delivery costs that were agreed with the vendor, a freight forwarding
agent, or a customs authority before the purchase order was made, and that are therefore entered
when you enter the purchase order. It is entered item-by-item in the purchase order. They are
assigned accordingly at invoice receipt.
The advantage of planned delivery costs is that the delivery costs become a part of the valuation of
a material at goods receipt, or - for a purchase order with account assignment - are debited to the
account assignment object.
Planned delivery costs are not binding to one specific vendor. When planning the delivery costs in
the purchase order, enter a specific vendor for the delivery costs (such as a freight vendor or a
customs authority). In Invoice Verification, these delivery costs can also be posted to a different
invoicing party to different vendor on the Detail tab page.
Planned delivery costs can be divided into
➢ Freight costs
➢ Customs
Delivery costs can be invoiced in one of three ways
➢ Fixed amount, independent of scope of supply
➢ Quantity-dependent amount
➢ Percentage of value of goods to be delivered
For planned delivery costs, at goods receipt the system posts relevant provisions to a clearing
account. Depending on the origin type, specific clearing account can be customized. This clearing
account is balanced when the corresponding invoice is posted. If no price differences arise
between the planned delivery costs from the purchase order and the requested delivery costs in
the invoice, the material master record does not change at the time of invoice. If price differences
do arise, these are treated in the same way as price variances for ordered materials.
Unplanned delivery costs are delivery costs that were not agreed upon in the purchase order, and
that are first entered at invoice receipt. Enter the total amount of the unplanned delivery costs on
the Detail tab page in invoice.

System automatically posts the unplanned delivery costs to the individual items, or to a separate
G/L account based on the requirement.
During automatic distribution to the invoice items, the amounts in the items are automatically
increased by the delivery costs part during the invoice post, and it is treated as price variances.
The system does not perform a price check after automatically distributing the delivery costs.
Unplanned delivery costs that were distributed to individual items are not listed separately in the
PO history. They are already a part of the calculated value.
If the unplanned delivery costs are posted to a separate G/L account, the unplanned delivery costs
are not debited to the stocks or the account assignment objects. The system does not show
unplanned delivery costs that are posted to a separate G/L account, in the PO history.
Invoice post contains only unplanned delivery costs with reference to a purchase order, if at least
one invoice has already been posted for the purchase order. Otherwise all the invoiced values
would be zero, and it would not be possible to distribute the delivery costs. The system apportions
unplanned delivery costs to the items in proportion to the total value invoiced so far and the values
in the current invoice. The system can also be able to distribute unplanned delivery costs manually
to individual invoice items, by changing the amounts of the invoice items.
In the case of unplanned delivery costs, the costs are not split up according to their origin. The way
in which the system posts unplanned delivery costs depends on the settings in Customizing. They
are either distributed automatically to the individual invoice items, or posted to a separate G/L
account. During automatic distribution, the unplanned delivery costs are posted according to the
price control.
For a material with moving average price, the system posts to the stock account as long as there is
a stock coverage.

7.2.2 Service Purchase Requisition


A purchase requisition is a request or instruction to Purchasing to procure a certain quantity of a
material or a service so that it is available at a certain point in time.
Purchase requisition must contain account assignment category value as Network - N and its
Activities, Item category value as “D”, material group, quantity and delivery date of the material to

8.1 Project Procurement Service via Contract: AS-IS


Extensive Business Blueprint workshops have been conducted to understand the business
requirements of ACC, but this has not been done to Map the same business practices/processes in
SAP application. As this implementation is not just aimed to bring in an ERP application In the
company but to as well to refine the current business practices by adopting Best Business Practices
suggested by SAP with its varied experience and proven track record.

Eventually we have not denied those business practices which are must required for the business
functioning but they cannot be mapped in SAP. In this case these requirements have been taken for
Customization/Development as a GAP.

In this context we have considered this section of AS-IS as not required and the succeeding sections
of this process will demonstrate the Best Practiced business processes.

9.1 RFQ Process for Tendering Department: AS-IS


Extensive Business Blueprint workshops have been conducted to understand the business
requirements of ACC, but this has not been done to Map the same business practices/processes in
SAP application. As this implementation is not just aimed to bring in an ERP application In the
company but to as well to refine the current business practices by adopting Best Business Practices
suggested by SAP with its varied experience and proven track record.

Eventually we have not denied those business practices which are must required for the business
functioning but they cannot be mapped in SAP. In this case these requirements have been taken for
Customization/Development as a GAP.

In this context we have considered this section of AS-IS as not required and the succeeding sections
of this process will demonstrate the Best Practiced business processes.

9.2.6 Maintain Quotation


A quotation is an offer by a vendor to a purchasing organization regarding the supply of materials
or performance of services subject to specified conditions.
The RFQ and the quotation form is a single document. Prices and conditions quoted by vendors
are entered in the original RFQ. RFQ will issue to several vendors, the system will determine the
most favorable quotation submitted and automatically generate letters of rejection to the
unsuccessful bidders. The system stores the prices and terms of delivery from certain quotations in
an info record for future accessing.
A quotation is legally binding on the vendor for a certain period. The quotation is the vendor’s
response to a request for quotation issued by a purchasing organization.
A quotation consists of items in which the total quantity and delivery date of an offered material or
service are specified. An item of a quotation may contain a delivery schedule made up of a number
of schedule lines in which the total quantity is broken down into smaller quantities to be delivered
on the specified dates over a certain period.
Compare the prices from all quotations received as a result of a competitive bidding process using
the price comparison list. The comparison list ranks the quotations by item from lowest to highest
price.
Prerequisites
Before generate the price comparison list, the following things need to be consider
Each quotation should have pricing data for the same item. Only then is the correct interpretation
of the mean and total values possible.
If quotations 1 and 2 have pricing data for item 1, but quotation 3 only has price information for
item 2, then the system does not have enough information to accurately compare the prices of all
three quotations.
If a quotation is submitted in a foreign currency, the price is automatically translated into the
currency of the company code, which is determined by purchasing organization.
Reference quotation
Compare the quotations within the list with a sample quotation. The system displays the
percentage deviation between each quotation in the list and the sample quotation.
Mean/minimum value quotation
The price comparison list can also display a "fictitious" quotation reflecting the average or minimum
value of all quotations. Select either the Mean or Minimum value quotation field to choose the type
of fictitious quotation.
Percentage basis
The price comparison list displays the percentage of each item in relation to the maximum,
minimum, or average price. To determine the display type, enter one of the following
➢ “+” Highest value for each item is the 100% value
➢ “-“ Lowest value for each item is the 100% value
➢ +"_" Mean value for each item is the 100% value
Price Comparison
Collective number field will be reference field, which will be used to list down the RFQ’s maintained
with same collective number in price comparison. Eventually price comparison can be done based

on the collective number. Select the appropriate field to specify which of the following should be
taken into account in determining the comparison price.
➢ Cash discount
➢ Delivery costs
➢ Effective price

Quotations for the external services are requested from the subcontractors. Some subcontractors
may be requested just to provide quotations for labor or material in the Subcontractor BOS. This
assumes that the materials are purchased by ACC and provided to the subcontractor for
construction work. We can compare the prices of different quotations related to a particular bid using
the price comparison list. The quotations are listed by items with the most reasonable price first. The
System will copy the prices from the subcontractor quotation to the customer quotation by calling the
price transfer in the subcontractor services report

➢ Project PO
➢ Asset PO
➢ General PO
These Purchase Documents will have separate numbering series.
Project PO will cover the domestic and international procurement need of civil and architecture
materials, electro mechanical materials and work orders are account assigned to a respective
project WBS element & G/L account.
Asset purchases, Asset master record will be created by the Finance department and it will be
released for Procurement activities. Based on the Asset master record, purchase department will
release Purchase order. At the time of creating Asset Purchase Order the relevant cost centre will
be incorporated. Goods Receipt is not required for asset purchase, Invoice has been released
directly for asset purchase.
General purchases will cover the consumables materials that relates to a project specific or
general department.
At the time of Purchase Order creation, system will capture from various masters e.g. purchasing
info record, vendor master etc. This can be changed subsequently change history of Purchase
order is available at header as well as item level.

10.2.7 Purchase Order Approval


Release Strategy shall be incorporated for release of Purchase Order as per ACC requirement. The
release is applicable for manual and auto generated Purchase Order.

The Purchase Order release level for Civil and Architecture Materials are listed below

*Release level will be triggered based on the permitted value to release the purchase order
*For example if the permitted value limit is 1SAR – 10,000SAR for Procurement Manager, the
release will be done only by the Procurement Manager. Now if the value is more than 10,000 SAR
and less than 20,000 Sar, the release will be done by first the Procurement Manager and then the
Commercial Manager and if the value is more than 20,000 SAR, the release will be done by
Procurement Manager, Commercial manager & then General Manager.

10.2.8 Goods Receipt


The receipt of goods from an external vendor. A goods receipt leads to an increase in warehouse
stock. System distinguishes between the following types of goods receipts
➢ Goods receipt with reference to purchase order
➢ Other goods receipts
Goods receipt with reference to purchase order shall cover Asset PO. At a time GR can be made
against only one purchase order. At ACC, Asset goods receipt are considered as statistical GR and
there will not be any accounting entries.

If a material is delivered for a purchase order, it is important for all of the departments involved that
the goods receipt entry in the system references this purchase order, for the following reason
➢ Goods receiving can check whether the delivery actually corresponds to the order.
➢ The system can propose data from the purchase order during entry of the goods receipt (for
example, the material ordered, its quantity, and so on). This simplifies both data entry and
checking (over deliveries and under deliveries).
➢ The delivery is marked in the purchase order history. This allows the Purchasing
department to monitor the purchase order history and initiate reminder procedures in the
event of a late delivery.
➢ The vendor invoice is checked against the ordered quantity and the delivered quantity

10.2.9 Invoice Receipt


Logistics Invoice Verification checks incoming invoices for accuracy with regards to content, price,
and accounting. The main task of Logistics Invoice Verification is to complete the procedure of
materials procurement by posting the vendor invoice and to pass on information concerning the
invoice to Financial Accounting and subsequent applications. For each incoming invoice, Logistics
Invoice Verification creates an MM invoice document and an FI invoice document.
The invoice documents update data in
➢ Materials Management
➢ Financial Accounting
The Accounts department does invoice entry after the stores user makes relevant entries & verifies
conditions in the PO (e.g. Price, Freight and Payment terms). If the conditions in the PO are
satisfied then the Invoice forwarded to finance department.
The Invoice Verification involves the following processes
➢ Invoice
➢ Credit Memo
➢ Subsequent Debit
➢ Subsequent Credit
Invoice option is used when the payment is to be made to the vendor.
Credit memo is used for materials returned back to the vendor. During invoice verification the
system shall display the materials returned back to the vendor for which deductions will be made.
Subsequent debit shall be used for transactions where the Original invoice has already been
cleared and a subsequent invoice has been raised by the vendor for materials already sent.
Example: Rate change with retrospective effect.
Subsequent Credit shall be used when any deduction is to be levied on the vendor.
There are 3 options that can be used for Invoice Verification.
➢ Goods / Service Item
➢ Delivery Costs
➢ Goods/Service Item + Delivery costs
Based on the Goods/Service and delivery vendors, the option shall be selected.

Vendor invoice shall be entered with reference to Purchase Order. More than one purchase order
can also be processed at one time for one vendor. If required the vendor can be changed from the
original vendor to whom the payment is to be done. If any Invoice verification has been done for any
GR for a PO, the quantity for this GR will not appear in the list. In case where the freight vendor is
different, only those entries related to the delivery costs will be chosen for the payments to this
vendor. It is also possible to raise credit memo against the goods returned to the vendor. In case of
Subsequent debit/credit to be made to the vendor account, (reasons can be change of rates for
previous supplies made, etc), the entries are made using the Invoice Verification. Adjustments to
other accounts like Insurance claims Account, etc. can be entered with invoice verification.

Document : ACC-BBP-MM-V1.2 20100116 UPDATED :

➢ A subsequent debit/credit arises if a transaction has already been settled, and a further
invoice or credit memo is received afterwards.
➢ A subsequent debit/credit changes the total invoice value of a purchase order item; the total
invoice quantity remains unchanged. Therefore, only a value-based update of the purchasing
transaction takes place. There is no quantity-based update.
➢ An invoice is entered as a subsequent debit if a purchase order item has already been
invoiced and further costs are incurred. (Example: A vendor has inadvertently invoiced at too
low a price and then sends a second invoice for the difference.)
➢ Enter a credit memo as a subsequent credit if a purchase order item was invoiced at too high
a price and later a credit memo is received. (Example: A vendor has inadvertently invoiced at
too high a price and then sends a credit memo for the difference.)
➢ When a subsequent debit/credit is entered, the system suggests the entire invoiced quantity,
but no value. The maximum quantity that can be subsequently debited or credited is the
quantity that has already been invoiced. A subsequent debit/credit for a purchase order item
can be entered if an invoice has already been posted for that item.
➢ A subsequent debit/credit cannot refer to a particular invoice.
➢ When a subsequent debit/credit is posted, the system posts the invoice amount to the vendor
account.
➢ If the quantity to be subsequently debited or credited has already been delivered, the system
makes the offsetting entry to the stock account or the price difference account, depending on
the type of price control used.
➢ For purchase order items with account assignment, the system makes the offsetting entry to
the consumption account.
➢ If the quantity for subsequent debit/credit has not yet been delivered, the posting is made to
the GR/IR clearing account. Later, when the goods receipt is posted - depending on the price
control - the system posts the debit/credit to the stock account or the price difference
account, or for PO items with account assignment it posts to the consumption account.

10.2.9.2 Delivery Cost-Planned / Unplanned


Freight charges can be planned in the purchase order. More often, they are not known in detail
when the purchase order is created and are entered only in Invoice Verification on the basis of the
invoice.
In the SAP system, delivery costs are divided into
➢ Planned delivery costs
➢ Unplanned delivery costs
Planned delivery costs are entered when the purchase order is created.
Unplanned delivery costs are not known at the time of the purchase order, and are first entered at
invoice receipt. Delivery costs can be settled together with goods items, or an invoice containing
only delivery costs can be entered.
Planned delivery costs are delivery costs that were agreed with the vendor, a freight forwarding
agent, or a customs authority before the purchase order was made, and that are therefore entered
when you enter the purchase order. It is entered item-by-item in the purchase order. They are
assigned accordingly at invoice receipt.
The advantage of planned delivery costs is that the delivery costs become a part of the valuation of
a material at goods receipt, or - for a purchase order with account assignment - are debited to the
account assignment object.

Planned delivery costs are not binding to one specific vendor. When planning the delivery costs in
the purchase order, enter a specific vendor for the delivery costs (such as a freight vendor or a
customs authority). In Invoice Verification, these delivery costs can also be posted to a different
invoicing party to different vendor on the Detail tab page.
Planned delivery costs can be divided into
➢ Freight costs
➢ Customs
Delivery costs can be invoiced in one of three ways
➢ Fixed amount, independent of scope of supply
➢ Quantity-dependent amount
➢ Percentage of value of goods to be delivered
For planned delivery costs, at goods receipt the system posts relevant provisions to a clearing
account. Depending on the origin type, specific clearing account can be customized. This clearing
account is balanced when the corresponding invoice is posted. If no price differences arise
between the planned delivery costs from the purchase order and the requested delivery costs in
the invoice, the material master record does not change at the time of invoice. If price differences
do arise, these are treated in the same way as price variances for ordered materials.
Unplanned delivery costs are delivery costs that were not agreed upon in the purchase order, and
that are first entered at invoice receipt. Enter the total amount of the unplanned delivery costs on
the Detail tab page in invoice.
System automatically posts the unplanned delivery costs to the individual items, or to a separate
G/L account based on the requirement.
During automatic distribution to the invoice items, the amounts in the items are automatically
increased by the delivery costs part during the invoice post, and it is treated as price variances.
The system does not perform a price check after automatically distributing the delivery costs.
Unplanned delivery costs that were distributed to individual items are not listed separately in the
PO history. They are already a part of the calculated value.
If the unplanned delivery costs are posted to a separate G/L account, the unplanned delivery costs
are not debited to the stocks or the account assignment objects. The system does not show
unplanned delivery costs that are posted to a separate G/L account, in the PO history.
Invoice post contains only unplanned delivery costs with reference to a purchase order, if at least
one invoice has already been posted for the purchase order. Otherwise all the invoiced values
would be zero, and it would not be possible to distribute the delivery costs. The system apportions
unplanned delivery costs to the items in proportion to the total value invoiced so far and the values
in the current invoice. The system can also be able to distribute unplanned delivery costs manually
to individual invoice items, by changing the amounts of the invoice items.
In the case of unplanned delivery costs, the costs are not split up according to their origin. The way
in which the system posts unplanned delivery costs depends on the settings in Customizing. They
are either distributed automatically to the individual invoice items, or posted to a separate G/L
account. During automatic distribution, the unplanned delivery costs are posted according to the
price control.
For a material with moving average price, the system posts to the stock account as long as there is
a stock coverage.
For a material with standard price, the system posts the unplanned delivery costs to the price
difference account.

11.1 Material Transfer: AS-IS


Extensive Business Blueprint workshops have been conducted to understand the business
requirements of ACC, but this has not been done to Map the same business practices/processes in
SAP application. As this implementation is not just aimed to bring in an ERP application In the
company but to as well to refine the current business practices by adopting Best Business Practices
suggested by SAP with its varied experience and proven track record.

Eventually we have not denied those business practices which are must required for the business
functioning but they cannot be mapped in SAP. In this case these requirements have been taken for
Customization/Development as a GAP.

In this context we have considered this section of AS-IS as not required and the succeeding sections
of this process will demonstrate the Best Practiced business processes.

Using Transfer Posting component, one can transfer material from one storage location to another
storage location. At ACC, every plant will have two storage locations. Storage locations are
classified as Project Warehouse and Central Warehouse.

Transfer posting refers to the process of removal of materials from one storage location to another
storage location. If the materials are received at central warehouse for a project, that materials are
transferred from central warehouse to project warehouse by using transfer posting functionality in
SAP system.

While doing transfer posting goods receipt number needs to be maintained. Based on this number,
material transfer document will be printed with all the information like Purchase Requisition number,
Purchase Order number and Project.

Materials are transferred by two step procedure.

First Step (at Central Warehouse): Material transferred (Removal) from Central Warehouse to
Project Warehouse by using 313 Q movement type. Material transfer document will be printed.

Second Step (at Project Warehouse): Material transferred (Place/Receipt) from Central Warehouse
to Project Warehouse by using 315 Q movement type.

Using Goods Issue component, one can post a material withdrawal or a material issue. A goods
issue leads to a reduction in storage location stock.
Standard SAP system allows goods issue for
➢ Project from Unrestricted Project
➢ Network from Unrestricted Project

At ACC, materials will be issued for project by using 221 ‘Q’ movement type and for network by
using 281 ‘Q’. After goods issue the system will automatically reduce the stock for project
warehouse and the cost will be booked against the project WBS element.

13 Return Delivery – (ID: MM-10)

13.1 Return Delivery: AS-IS


Extensive Business Blueprint workshops have been conducted to understand the business
requirements of ACC, but this has not been done to Map the same business practices/processes in
SAP application. As this implementation is not just aimed to bring in an ERP application In the
company but to as well to refine the current business practices by adopting Best Business Practices
suggested by SAP with its varied experience and proven track record.

Eventually we have not denied those business practices which are must required for the business
functioning but they cannot be mapped in SAP. In this case these requirements have been taken for
Customization/Development as a GAP.

In this context we have considered this section of AS-IS as not required and the succeeding sections
of this process will demonstrate the Best Practiced business processes.

Physical inventory component allows the carrying out of physical inventory of the company’s
warehouse stock for balance sheet purpose. There are different types of physical inventory
procedures like Periodic Processing, Continuous inventory, Cycle counting. Any of these techniques
can be used for this process.

Periodic Inventory
In this process all the stocks in the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date.
The entire warehouse must be blocked for materials movement

Continuous Inventory
Continuous inventory ensures that all the material is counted at least once during the year. Stocks
are counted throughout the year.

Cycle Counting
Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular intervals
within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the
materials. It allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
