Examples

Quick answer

Reproduce these steps in a training system and watch the integration happen, stock changing in MMBE, financial documents created at GR and invoice.

Key takeaways

  • Create a PR (ME51N) for a material, convert it to a PO (ME21N) to a vendor, receive the goods (MIGO, movement type 101, updating…
  • ME51N/ME21N: create purchase requisition / purchase order.
  • MIGO: post a goods receipt against a PO.
  • Watch out: Learning transactions in isolation, do the full flow.

Everyday MM transactions

  • ME51N/ME21N: create purchase requisition / purchase order.
  • MIGO: post a goods receipt against a PO.
  • MIRO: verify and post a vendor invoice.
  • MM01/MM02/MM03: create/change/display a material master.
  • MB52 / MMBE: view stock.

A worked procure-to-pay example

Create a PR (ME51N) for a material, convert it to a PO (ME21N) to a vendor, receive the goods (MIGO, movement type 101, updating stock and GR/IR), then verify the invoice (MIRO, three-way match, posting AP and clearing GR/IR). Finally AP pays the vendor (F110). This single flow exercises MM inventory, MM–FI integration and controls.

Using examples to learn

Reproduce these steps in a training system and watch the integration happen, stock changing in MMBE, financial documents created at GR and invoice. Doing the flow end to end teaches far more than reading about any single transaction.

Common pitfalls

  • Learning transactions in isolation, do the full flow.
  • Not watching the FI postings that GR/IV create.
  • No hands-on system to practise in.
