1) The document provides an overview of organizational structures, valuation areas, purchase requisition processes, goods receipt postings, invoice verification processes, MRP vs CBP differences, reorder point planning, configurable BOMs, capacity leveling, and production order settlement in SAP MM and PP. 2) Key points include that valuation can occur at the plant or company code level, the purchase requisition process flow, how taxes are handled in goods receipt and invoice posting, differences between MRP and CBP, how reorder point planning works, configuring BOMs and simulations, addressing capacity overloads through leveling, and documents involved in production order settlement. 3) KANBAN execution is described as automatically

3. Valuation Area in SAP MM
 Valuation Area is either “Company Code” or “Plant”.
 When stock is valuated at plant level, you can valuate a material in different
plants at different prices.
 When you valuate stock at company code level, the valuation price of a material
is the same in all of a company's plants (that is, in a company code).
 SAP recommends that you valuate material at plant level.
 Valuation at plant level is mandatory if you want to use either of the Production
Planning or Product Cost Accounting components

7. CBP Vs. MRP - Key Differences
 MRP is based on current and future sales. Useful for the planning of finished products and important
assemblies and components. Requirement elements are sales orders, planned independent
requirements, material reservations.
 CBP is based on historical data and uses material forecasts or statistical procedures to determine future
requirements. It is not triggered by independent or dependent requirements. It is either triggered by
the available stock level falling below the reorder point or by forecast requirement calculated from
historical data.

9. Super BOM - Maintenance Screen
• Class Item as BOM
Component
• Will be replaced by a material
based on char value assigned
during BOM config for an order
• Variant Items / Alternate
Items as BOM Components
• One of the alternatives will be
selected based on char value
assigned during BOM config for
an order
• BOM Component is a
Configurable Material.
• Contains a Class Item
PC CASE - Configurable Item, contains ‘Class Item’
PC ASSY - A Configurable Item, contains another
‘Configurable Item’, PC CASE.

11. Capacity Leveling in Planned Order
Planned order capacity situation shows
an ‘over load’ of 43.2% at Work Center
WC 1 where the operation is carried
out.
• Required capacity: 79.58 HR
• Available capacity: 55.57 HR
• Cap Load: 143.2%

13. KANBAN Execution - Example - Step 2
 Employee responsible for
Supply SA sees the
‘container’ status.
 A new PO ‘4500000096’ is
automatically created,
because the
‘Replenishment strategy’ is
set to ‘External
Procurement with Purchase
Orders’
 The PO is for qty 2 PC as
‘kanban’ qty is set to 2 in
‘control cycle’. The PO will
be sent to the Vendor
‘3000’
Employee sets ‘status’ to ‘In
Process’, yellow color.
