sold, it is taken into own stock.
15. What is subcontracting cycle ?

some value addition, it is converted into a
different material. It needs a BOM to define the
components of the finished item being received.
16. How is scrap accounted in

The scrap or the process loss can be adjusted
while doing a quality inspection of the material
received after subcontracting.
17. What are the various movement

19. What is the complete flow of the profit

22. What is meant by batches? How can
the batches be searched?
A batch is a subdivision of your stock of a material
having the same characteristics.

of production.
Paint production uses batches based on
production date and the used ingredients. It is
very hard to reproduce the same color in exactly
the same way at two different moments.
Or may be divided in batches based on their
mineral content.
23. What are the differences between

level & at the header level. Release procedure
with out classification can also be used for PR
which is used for item level release only. all other
external documents cannot be released with
classification. The two procedures are mutually
exclusive (that is to say, you must decide in favor
of one of them only - we cannot use both).
24. How to create PR or PO by MRP?
The PR is created according to the safety stock
mentioned for the material or can be triggered
from a requirement . For creating a PO, you need
to have the scheduling agreement in place .After
the MRP is run the schedule lines are generated
which are nothing but the PO.
25.What is theuse of configurable material?
Configurable material is useful if you have a large number
of combination of parts that go into a product. It means
different permutations and combinations of the parts for
same material. If you maintain a unique material code for
each combination , you require a large number of material
numbers. KMAT may be used in such a case where you
maintain just one generic product code. A super BOM is
maintained for such a material consisting of all possible
alternatives. A routing is also maintained consisting of all
possible operations that could be used. Typically
configurable material is used in Made To Order (MTO)
environment. However frequently ordered configurations
may be planned with a material variant which needs to
have a material master record. Thus Material variants may
have stock and value.
