What is consumption based planning?
Consumption-based planning is based on past consumption-values, statistical procedures for future requirements. It’s to avoid the shortfall in requirement determined from reorder point or forecast requirement.
Difference between MRP and Consumption-based planning, MRP Planning based on gross requirement through the Bill of Materials, Consumption-based planning based on past consumption-values.
What is the relation ship between sales organization and plants?
(1)Sales Organization--> Plant
Sales Organization is assigned to plant in combination with Distribution Channel. Relation: Many-Many.

what does Item Category Control?
An item category controls the overall behavior of an item. It determines whether the item is relevant for pricing or not, whether it is relevant for delivery or not, whether it is relevant for billing or not. It also determines whether it is a free item, text item and it also help to determine the sales document type.
What is Returnable packaging processing means?
IT is used in the process where by the business sells items to the customer. These items are packed into shipping units such as boxes and crates .Then the customer can keep the boxes and crates upto a certain period of time and then
must return the item .Should the customer not have return the shipping units within specified date or have been destroyed ,then business may bill the customer for damaged goods .
The stock we deliver as special packaging materials .We
kept at customer site .It can viewed in "MMBE"with indicator "V" .
Item category group is "VERP" .
General item category is "LEIH".
"LAN" for returnable packaging pick up-(LA)
"LNN" for returnable packaging issue-(LN)
Material group =00804
"TAL" -item category for returnable packaging
What is IMG?
1. Step by Step plan for implementing the SAP modules.
2. Procedures that have to be performed before a certain configuration can be made.
3. Documenting the SAP R/3 configuration methodology along with the reasons for configurations.
4. It forms the crux of business transactions in an SAP implementation, and how each one of the steps in various modules have been configured.
5. Finally, all configurations and their releases for a particular SAP R/3 implementation can be checked through the SAP IMG.
What is Backorder processing?
Backorder processing is functionality in SAP where you can change the commitments and over-ride the blockage of stocks marked against sales documents/deliveries. For e.g. you receive an order from a very important customer for material "A" but the entire quantity of A is committed to another customer "B" via earlier sales orders and this is where BACKORDER processing helps you to change the commitment and shift stock due for B to A. This is the benefit of this functionality.

What are the reports u have generated with help of ABAP? What are all the things we need to do configure?
What are the influencing factors for account determination?
sales amount which is in sales order will be posted into some accounts.
eg: sales price should be posted into revenues account in the same way sales discount should be posted into deduction account , other amount will post into some other account for this purpose we maintain account determination. coming to the question's answer, influencing factors for account determination is , chart of accounts,( FI consultant will tell that chart of accounts which is used for that company code) sales organization, distribution channel, account assignment group for customer ( which is in customer master data, sales area tab page, billing view )account assignment group for material ( which is in material master record, sales organization 1 view ( not sure plz check) account key which is assigned in pricing procedure G/L account number ( FI consultant will give this number)
What are dependencies in variant configuration?
Dependencies establish relationship between characteristics and values of different characteristics. It is required to get the pricing to the sales order through Procedure(dependency), to get the BOM component selected for the material with quantity and to have the routing time for each component.
There are 5-types of dependencies...
a.Precondition ...to hide characteristics and its values
b.Selection condition....to select a characteristics or values
c.Procedure..to Infer value for a characteristics
d.Action...to infer value for a characteristics but obsolete.
e.Constraint...to have a consistency value flow to configuration , it has to attach to configuration through dependency net....
What is Extract used in condition tech. in pricing?
Condition technique used condition table, condition type, access sequence, pricing procedure to determine pricing information.
What is the use of pricing date in condition type?
Pricing date is the date in which the condition records are accessed. For e.g.: lets say you have the price of the material as 1000Rs till Mar 2008 as per the validity period of condition record and from April the same price of the material is 2000Rs as per the validity period of the condition record. Now your pricing date in the Sales doc
determines as which price should be taken into account. Hope you are clear now.
What is the link/control between sales and distribution and quality?
When a complaint is executed. Say, a faulty material is returned back to plant from the customer/consignee. The material is taken in to the blocked stock, where by the quality link is involved. It's the responsibility of the quality department to check the complaint and approve. That's the reason we have billing block before issuing credit note/memo to the customer.
How is access seq. controlled?
An access sequence (search strategy) is defined for each condition type (except header and manual condition type) in pricing procedure.
1. Each access performed during pricing procedure, the access sequence is made using condition table.
2. Access sequence is a search key for condition record, which made up of key fields.
3. Access sequence searches the condition records from most specific to the most general.
Example: Suppose you create a sale order for material M-10 for Customer 1500. and you had maintained the condition records for that material 100 INR for per material. and
you also maintained the condition record for Customer1500/Material M-10 also i.e. for that particular material and for that customer the Material price is 90 INR. In that condition the system pick the material price as 90 INR and reject the material discount as 100INR.
What is business item?
In item category, Business item specifies whether the business data at the item level is allow to differ from business data in the document header during the sales document processing.
business data means sales data + shipping data + Billing data
If you configure (Check box active) the Business item in the Item category, system should not allow to change the Incoterms in the sales order
What is Lump sum payment?
Lump sum payment is a general term. It has no different meaning in the sap. Exact meaning of lump sum is full payment.
What is the advantage of using the text as a reference ?
what are the Steps in consignment processing?
In consignment process, we have 4 stages.
First phase, company fill the goods at customer site, still it is the property of company, is called as Consignment fill up,(CF)
When the customer consumes the material company issues the invoice is called as consignment issue (CI)
If the customer finds that he got any material defective he returns is called as consignment return (CR)
When customer requests the company to take back the material which is not sold by the consumer, the company will pick this stock from the customer site is known as consignment pick up (cp)
What is the purpose of creating user exits?
A user exit is a place in a software program where a customer can arrange for their own tailor-made program to be called. SAP creates user exits for specific programs, screens, and menus within standard R/3 applications.These exits do not contain any functionality. Instead, the customer exits act as hooks. You can hang your own add-on functionality onto these hooks
What is the difference between VK11 & VK31
Tcode vk11 used for individual Maintenance of condition record and Tcode vk31 used for mass Maintenance of condition record
What basic questions do they ask relating to order management?
Basic questions related to order management
1. In sale order what fields are mandatory We can change them as per our requirement by going into account groups and then fields
2. When u raise a sale order what field get filled by default?
3. when you save a sale order what’s the background process which takes place?
How is storage location determined?
Determination of storage location depends upon the rule mentioned in the delivery type. There are basically three rules for determining storage location, out of which we
basically use MALA rule:-
MALA Rule:-
(1)Shipping point.
(2)Plant.
(3)Storage Condition.
Other rules are MARE and RETA ,which are used for trade scenarios.
What is the difference between ATP check and availability check?
ATP is know as available to promise quantities and it is
Calculated as below.
Ware house stock + planned receipts - Planned issues = ATP quantities.
Ex1. 100 + 50 -75 = 75 is ATP Quantity
Any remaining open quantity in the movement is regarded as the ATP quantity and can be used to fulfill the next Requirement.
Ex2. 25 + 100 -150 = -25 ATP Quantity,
In this case the system try to capture the stock from other inward movement and try and match the order quantity 150.and even this is not available and partially met then the system shows the negative ATP Quantities in the requirement line.
During the availability check the system determines the ATP quantities for the material and the plant. The system behaves in performing the availability check based on how the availability check is set in customizing. This can be viewed in the sales order, over view screen procurement and you can see the confirmed quantity and ATP Quantity.
Availability check:
Stock checks which is automatically carried out after every
goods movement and which should prevent the book inventory
balance of physical stock (for example, available stock)
from reaching zero.
types of Availability checks
1. Against ATP
2. Against product allocation
3. Against planning.
Availability check is based on checking group, Requirement class, and Requirement type and schedule line category.
What will do in realization?
Realization phase in which the system is configured ,knowledge transfer occurs ,extensive unit testing is completed, and data mapping and data requirements for migration are defined .
The purpose of this phase is to implement the business process requirements based on business blueprint. The system configuration methodology is provided in two work
packages :baseline(major scope) and final configuration (remaining scope).Other main focal area of this phase are conducting integration tests and drawing up end user
documentation.
What is the importance of release status and dynamic field?
The importance of release status in release procedures is to create the condition records purely for the planning purpose. for further clarification see release procedures in pricing.
The Dynamic field check is to determine the customer-specific fields, even the text fields.
What is the parent and child relationship?
when after we r creating the IDOC type it will show screen, there we can create the segments by right click. then one pop up window will display like which segment(Ex: SEG1) u need to add to the IDOC then add the one more segment(Ex:SEG2) to the IDOC . while add SEg2 to the IDOC , pop up will display like segment name which u can add and there is the options like under which segment u need to create the segment here u can select SEG1.
now SEG1 ----> parent segment
SEG2 ----> child to the SEG1
How to configure partial deliveries?
we have to mark for partial delivery either in customer master
or
In customer-material info.
Consumption-based planning is based on past consumption-values, statistical procedures for future requirements. It’s to avoid the shortfall in requirement determined from reorder point or forecast requirement.
Difference between MRP and Consumption-based planning, MRP Planning based on gross requirement through the Bill of Materials, Consumption-based planning based on past consumption-values.
