MM examples
These MM examples walk the procure-to-pay steps, requisition, purchase order, goods receipt, invoice verification, showing materials management as a connected flow.
The example makes MM-FI integration and the three-way match concrete: you see how a physical receipt becomes financial postings and how invoice verification controls payment.
- Create a PO (ME21N) for a material, receive it (MIGO), which raises stock and posts to inventory and GR/IR, then verify the invoice…
- ME51N / ME21N: requisition / purchase order.
- MIGO: goods receipt (movement type 101).
- Watch out: Wrong movement type at goods receipt.
The procure-to-pay transactions
- ME51N / ME21N: requisition / purchase order.
- MIGO: goods receipt (movement type 101).
- MIRO: invoice verification (three-way match).
- MMBE / MB52: stock overview.
A worked example
Create a PO (ME21N) for a material, receive it (MIGO), which raises stock and posts to inventory and GR/IR, then verify the invoice (MIRO), matching PO, receipt and invoice, posting the AP liability and clearing GR/IR. Watch stock change in MMBE and the FI documents created at each step.
What it teaches
The example makes MM–FI integration and the three-way match concrete: you see how a physical receipt becomes financial postings and how invoice verification controls payment. Reproduce it to internalise the flow.
Common pitfalls
- Wrong movement type at goods receipt.
- Not watching GR/IR clearing.
- Loose invoice tolerances.
