MM questions
the system is to determine the lot size by selecting one of the lot-sizing procedures in the material master record.
Three groups of procedures exist for calculating the lot size:
?In the static lot-sizing procedures, the lot size is calculated using only the entered quantities in the material?s master record.
?The period lot-sizing procedures groups together requirements from one or several periods to form a lot.
?The optimum lot-sizing procedures groups requirements from several periods together to form a lot, whereby an optimum cost ratio is determined between lot size independent costs and storage costs. 89. What are account assignment objects? Name a few.
90. Stocks are stored at storage location level on a. Value basis b. Quantity basis
c. Value and quantity basis d. None
91. What are Condition tables and Access sequences?
Condition table: A condition table consists of one or more condition keys and a data part. The data part contains a number that references a record in another table. The latter table contains the condition records.
Access sequence: An access sequence is a search strategy by means of which the system searches for valid records in various condition tables. It consists of one or more accesses. The sequence of accesses controls the priority of the individual condition records among each other. Through the accesses, the system is told where to look first and where to look next for a valid condition record in each case.
Calculation schema: A calculation schema groups together all condition types that play a part in calculating the price. It sets out the order in which the condition types are taken into account in the calculation.
Condition types: Condition types represent price factors in the system. There are condition types for absolute and percentage discounts, freight costs, customs duties, or taxes, for example. Via the condition type, you specify how the price factor is calculated (e.g. percentage or absolute amount).
92. What does ABC analysis mean?
Procedure to determine the importance of an object.
You perform an ABC analysis to classify objects according to specific criteria or performance measures. Each object is assigned one of the following three indicators: ?A: important
?B: less important
?C: relatively unimportant
An object can be a material, a vendor, or a plant.

MM questions
ABC analyses are used in Materials Management, Plant Maintenance, Cost Accounting, the Logistics Information System and ABAP Query.
93. Gine the transactions codes for the following a. To view material list b. Goods against order
c. Releasing blocked invoice d. To view PO history e. Invoice verification
94. In which master data is schedule line activated? Scheduling Agreement delivery schedule
95. What does Invoice reduction mean? Briefly explain how it is done.
When there is a discrepancy between the invoice quantities or values and the system suggested quantity or value, invoice reduce can be used to create a memo to credit the difference.
96. What is an Invoice plan? Give an example.
List of dates on which invoices for purchase order items covering materials or services are to be maintained and paid.
The invoicing plan permits extensive automation of the process of creating and paying invoices for both recurring procurement transactions (such as rental or leasing payments) and transactions involving settlement in stages (such as payment regarding the individual phases of a building project as they are completed).
97. What does Random blocking of Invoice mean?
You can block invoices at random to check them again. If the stochastic block is active and you post an invoice that is not subject to any other blocking reason, it can be randomly selected for blocking.
A stochastic block is not set at item level, but for the whole invoice. If a
stochastic block is set when you post the invoice, the system automatically sets an R in the field Payment block in the document header data; there is no blocking indicator in the individual items.
98. Describe the following material types a. FERT - b. ROH - c. HALB - d. HAWA -
99. Briefly explain Re-order point planning. Special procedure in materials planning.

MM questions
If the reorder point is greater than warehouse stock, a procurement proposal is created by MRP.
If the stock falls below this quantity, the system flags the material for requirements planning by creating a planning file entry. 100. What are the various planning levels in MRP?
