Reporting in MM: Business Scenario
Your company monitors all areas regarding
possibilities of reducing cost and improving
efficiency.
The project team analyzes the reporting
functionality of SAP R/3 at transaction and
document level.
The project team wants to find out if the SAP R/3
System is capable of providing management with
condensed key indicators for enterprise-relevant
processes in a timely manner.

In Purchasing, you enter a variety of documents. The R/3 System updates these documents and stores
them in database tables. In the R/3 System, you can use Standard Analysis to analyze the information
contained in the documents.
As the employee responsible in Purchasing, you want to obtain an overview of your vendors and
purchasing organizations. For example, you want know:
Which purchase orders were effected at a particular vendor for a particular period.
The number of purchase orders for which you have already received goods.
Whether a vendor complies with his or her delivery dates.
Whether a goods receipt and invoice receipt are correct.
The average value of each purchase order for a purchasing group.
You can also carry out analyses for master data, as well as for documents. For example, you can
output a list of all purchasing info records for a material or vendor, or you can obtain an overview of
the material master records in your enterprise, based on particular criteria.
The analyses in the R/3 System provide you with a quick and convenient overview, enabling you to
act accordingly.

Scope of list parameters determine which data is displayed for a document. You can decide whether
you want a list in short form or whether it should contain more information (for example, lines for
open purchase order quantity and value or the validity period of outline agreements). You can
configure scope-of-list parameters in Customizing for Purchasing.
The selection parameter determines which purchasing documents the report evaluates. In this
example, the system will only evaluate purchasing documents for which you have still to receive an
invoice. In Customizing, you can define your own selection parameters.
If, at regular intervals, you carry out a particular list display using the same selections, it is
worthwhile creating a variant. This reduces data entry time and prevents errors during entry.
You can store your own variants or use existing ones.
You can define any number of variants for a report.

SAP List Viewer and ALV Grid Control
SAP List Viewer
ALV Grid Control



The SAP List Viewer and the ALV Grid Control standardize and simplify the handling of lists in
the SAP R/3 System. There is a consistent interface and list format available for the lists. Redundant
functions are therefore avoided. The ALV Grid Control is not only used to display lists (such as
material document lists), but is also used in other transactions (for example, purchase requisitions).
Not all lists in the components of the SAP R/3 System use the complete scope of the SAP List
Viewer. Some lists also offer particular functions that overlap the scope of the SAP List Viewer. You
can change the list display and contents using the layout.
To summarize, the essential elements of the SAP List Viewer and the ALV Grid Control are:
consistent design of all lists and tables
cross-application standardized functions with consistent icons
simple creation and change of the layouts
Note: Not all lists in the SAP R/3 System are prepared with one of these display tools.
For more information about the SAP List Viewer, see the SAP R/3 documentation (Cross-
Application Components > General Application Functions; and Basis Components > Basis-
Services/Communication Interfaces).

The SAP List Viewer and the ALV Grid Control offer the following functions:
Select detail: You receive further information about a selected line, and other information that is
not shown in the list.
Set filter: With the filter function, you can only display the lines that fulfill particular criteria in
one or several columns. To set a filter, select one or more columns by clicking on the column
header, and select Set filter. In the dialog box, enter the required restrictions for the selected
columns.
Sort: Lists can be sorted in ascending or descending order. Select the column and choose one of
these sort functions.
Total values: Within a list, you can total one or more selected columns. You can total both value
columns and quantity columns.
Generate subtotal: If you have generated a sum for at least one column within a list, you can also
generate subtotals. Subtotals can be generated for one or more selected columns without value or
quantity columns.
Layout: You can use layouts to change how your list is displayed. For more information on this,
see the next page.

The Logistics Data Warehouse in the SAP System



The information systems in the LIS are continuously supplied with data from the transaction systems
(Sales and Distribution, Purchasing, Production, Plant Maintenance, and so on). This level is also
known as OLTP (Online Transaction Processing). The data can come from documents in the SAP
R/2 or SAP R/3 system, or from non-SAP systems.
Important information is stored in the SAP Open Information Warehouse's own database, which is
maintained in parallel to the operational systems. As data is updated periodically, the data volume is
reduced quantitatively and the information is reduced qualitatively to the sections relevant to
statistics.
Convenient analysis and reporting tools are available at OLAP level (Online Analytic Processing) for
analyzing data.

Logistics Data Warehouse



The physical tables in the SAP Information Warehouse are information structures, or info structures
for short. These have a typical structure.
The objects to be analyzed in the real business world go into info structures as evaluation groups in
the form of characteristics. Statistical information on characteristics, such as vendor, customer, or
material is aggregated. Organizational elements, such as purchasing group, material group, valuation
area, plant, or storage location are also used as characteristics in info structures.
Time base is another option for aggregation. Data is not only aggregated per characteristic, but also
by period. With regard to periodicity, you can aggregate data on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
The system updates Logistics key figures for each characteristic combination and periodicity. This
encompasses quantitative factors informing you of measurable subject matters. Key figures can be
cumulated per evaluation group, for example, order quantity, or production order quantity. They can
also be a single counter, for example, "number of deliveries".
The standard R/3 System contains various info structures for different application areas. You can use
convenient tools to group characteristics and key figures into individual info structures to meet your
requirements and use separate update programs to fill them with data.

When you post a document, as is shown here using a purchase order, the system updates the key
figures of the info structures for the relevant characteristic combinations.
If there is no data record for the characteristic combination in the document, the system creates a new
data record and enters the characteristics and key figures (example: vendor 1000, material M-01,
month 05.98, purchase order value 11 000).
If the characteristic combination already exists in the info structure, the system increases or
decreases the key figures in the data line by the relevant values (example: vendor 1000, material M-
02, month 05.98, purchase order value (old) 20 000 + purchase order value (document) 10 000 =
purchase order value (new) 30 000).
In the various analyses, lists can be created for all possible characteristic combinations on the basis
of data in the info structures.

Reporting in the LIS



The standard analyses in LIS offer numerous ways of analyzing data. Standard analyses offer a
multitude of functions that enable a detailed and specific analysis of data.
In each standard analysis, you can use various selection options to determine the scope of data to be
analyzed. You can preset the selection of key figures you want to analyze or it can be carried out
interactively during the analysis.
You can use the Early Warning System (EWS) to look for any unusual situations and react to and
correct these in good time.
Using flexible analyses, you can individually compile and compress key figures. You can also
structure the layout of your report to meet your requirements. For reports, you can also define key
figures composed of computing formulas from existing key figures. This means that you can
multiply key figures or calculate the quotient of two key figures, for example. The data contained in
the list can be converted into graphic format.
The Logistics Data Warehouse is open and therefore allows you to carry out analyses using external
programs, such as MS-EXCEL or native SQL.

Reporting in Standard Analyses



Standard analyses provide a wide range of functions for creating presentations and analyses for the
data basis in the LIS.
The data basis for a standard analysis is established when you determine an object to analyze (for
example, purchasing group, vendor, material group, and so on) and make selections.
This data is then organized and can be displayed in an initial list and a variety of drill-down lists.
Each analysis can be archived.
You can use the standard transactions in the application to display the complete master record or
document information from the various drill-down levels of the list.
A wide range of functions can be used to individually examine the key figures and characteristic
values on which the analysis is based from a business perspective. All the functions for statistical
analyses are graphically supported.

To optimize internal processes, you regularly create list displays
to inform you about the status of your purchase orders, info
records, and other documents in the system. You already use
condensed information from the Logistics Information System for
your reports to management.

1-1 Open goods receipts
Display a list of all the purchase orders for purchasing organization 1000 and plant
1000 for which goods receipts are still open. Limit the search period to the last 24
months.
To do this, choose the Document date field
(From: Current date24 months To: Current date).
Optional: Define for yourself a variant for the purchase order document overview
in accordance with these specifications.

1-2 Goods receipts that have been posted
You want a list of all material documents for materials T-RM1## to T-RM4##
that were placed into storage in plant 1000 using movement type 101 (goods
receipt into unrestricted-use stock).

1-3 Analyze purchasing values for purchasing groups
You want to use the Purchasing Information System to determine a standard
analysis for the scope of procurement for purchasing groups T01 to T18 for the
purchasing organization 1000. Limit the analysis period from last month to the
current and previous month.
1-3-1 Change the characteristic display
You want to display both the name of the purchasing group and the key for
the characteristic. Choose the relevant characteristic display.

1-3-2 Add key figures
You need information about the number of purchase order items and the
number of deliveries. Add these two key figures to the standard analysis.
Make a note of the total purchase order value and the total number of
purchase order items for your purchasing group T##.

PO value:______________ No. of purchase orders:____________

What amount has already been settled? __________________

1-3-3 Display vendors for a purchasing group
With which vendors have you effected purchase orders for purchasing group
T##? Make a note of the number of vendors and the total purchase order
value.

SAP AG TSCM50 12-19
1-3-5 Perform an ABC analysis
Determine the most important vendor in terms of purchase order value for
purchasing organization 1000 and the purchasing groups T01 to T18. To do
this, carry out an ABC analysis for the value key Purchase order value.
Choose the percentage total of the purchase order value. Segment A is 70 %,
segment B is 20 %, and segment C is 10 %.
Look at the complete list for the ABC analysis of the purchase order value.
Which vendor has the highest purchase order value?

Vendor:_______________________________________________



Before you perform the ABC analysis, make sure you are
in the initial list. From the initial list, you then switch the
drill-down to the vendor.

mySAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) is an extensive solution that enables a company to plan
and realize products or services efficiently throughout the entire life cycle. This solution supports a
synchronized and close interaction between all departments (and people) affected in a supply chain.
In this complete solution, customers, sales, production planning, production, inventory control,
logistics, purchasing, and vendors are involved. An important focal point is the processing of cross-
company and cooperating planning and procurement processes. This processing also enables a link
to open marketplaces.
Within mySAP.com, the mySAP Supply Chain Management solution supports the complete range of
company scenarios and roles in connection with mySAP Enterprise Portal and Marketplaces.
The following cross-company (collaborative) and internet-based (e-)scenarios should also be
mentioned here:
Cross-company requirements planning
Cross-company delivery planning
Cross-company procurement (EBP, B2C)
e-quotation processing
e-order management.

The employees in your company are responsible for the procurement of goods and services that you
need for your work area. The Purchasing department is therefore relieved of this work and can
concentrate on strategic tasks, such as contractual negotiation.
The employees either look in the catalogs for suitable materials or services, or enter the requirement
directly in the entry screen and create a shopping cart. You can either save this requirement or assign
a purchase order.
As soon as an order has been placed, the Enterprise Buyer System checks whether the requirements
coverage request needs to be approved.
If the manager rejects the request, the employee receives this information from a work item in the
inbox. The employees can then process the requirement coverage request directly from the work
item.
The purchase order arrives at the vendor. When the goods have been delivered, or the service has
been performed, the employees confirm this. If business partners enter a confirmation, the system
initiates a workflow and sends the confirmation to the employees' inbox for approval.
The employees check these documents (invoice or confirmation) and release them. If a document
contains errors, the employees can refuse approval. The system informs the vendor or service
provider by e-mail.

There are only local documents in the 'local' EBP process. Purchase order data and the resulting
follow-on documents (goods receipt, invoice) are only saved in the EBP system and are not
transferred to an R/3 back-end. However, the message is outputted in EBP.
MM is not required in the back-end for local EBP processes. In this case, inventory management
cannot take place (this is not possible in EBP). Therefore, only consumable material procurement
(Indirect Procurement) is possible, stock material procurement (Direct Procurement) is not.
Accounting data cannot be entered in the EBP. Data such as commitments or vendor liabilities is
transferred to the FI back-end.
The Enterprise Buyer Professional can communicate with several back-end systems.

In the back-end process, one or more back-end documents come from a single shopping cart. These
may be reservations, purchase requisitions or purchase orders. If there are any messages, the system
issues them in the back-end.
You can choose whether further processing of this back-end process takes place in the EBP or in the
R/3 back-end. This means you can choose which system to create goods receipts and/or invoices in.
Whichever system you choose, the follow-on documents are updated in both the EBP shopping cart
and the back-end order.
This scenario requires Materials Management in the R/3 back-end, thus enabling stock material
procurement (Direct Procurement).

You can create your shopping cart items in different ways.
If you enter the product number directly, the EBP system determines the relevant description,
details and, if necessary, a source of supply. A product can be a material or a service.
You can also create an item without references. If you do this, you must enter a description,
quantity, unit of measure and a product category (= material group) manually.
If you choose an item from a catalog, the product number and/or description, details, product
category, vendor, and price are provided.
You can store items that you always need in a list of favorites.

The shopping cart itself is not a purchase order. Different follow-on documents are created according
to the completeness of the data (vendor, price) and system configuration. These may be local
purchase orders, back-end purchase orders, or other back-end documents (purchase requisition,
reservation).
For more information, use the detail button:
Basic data, Account assignment, Purchase order text, Asset, Internal memo, Delivery address,
Availability, Sources.
If the system cannot determine a source of supply, you can enter a preferred vendor.
An availability check can take place across plants (APO is not required).
In the Enterprise Buyer Professional, various approval scenarios for shopping carts and other
documents can be implemented with standard workflows.

SAP Markets, the exchange company of the SAP group, presents with mySAP Supplier Relationship
Management (mySAP SRM) a new and extensive software solution for the management of vendor
relationships. Companies can use mySAP SRM to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of
their value chains.
mySAP SRM enables processing of relationships with vendors of all sizes and with a complete range
of technical facilities. Vendors profit from mySAP SRM by having easier system integration and
better cooperation possibilities, and therefore gain higher profits, decrease their sales costs and
ensure greater customer satisfaction. Using external services, small-scale suppliers can process
orders, create invoices or update prices and specifications without having to invest in their own IT
infrastructure. All vendors profit from the increased transparency of the purchasing behavior of their
customers. mySAP SRM reduces transaction costs, increases precision of process flows, helps to
recognise new business prospects, and leads to a higher efficiency of sales and distribution
processes.
Vendors with existing sales and distribution solutions can be connected using the exchange
infrastructure of mySAP Technology. To summarize, mySAP SRM reduces the costs of business
relationships by automating cross-company processes, for all parties concerned. The exchange
infrastructure of mySAP Technology includes functions for cross-company integration, that were
developed by SAP Markets Partner, Commerce One.

In APO, vendors, customers and also plants are portrayed as locations. Other location types are
distribution centers (DC), transportation service providers (TSP), transportation zones or MRP areas.
The material flow between locations is modeled using transportation lanes. Transportation lanes
represent the relationship between a source location (such as a vendor) and a destination location
(plant). Each transportation lane is also dependent on the direction of the product flow, and is
assigned all products (materials) that are transported, and available means of transport.
You can extend transportation lanes to external procurement relationships. External procurement
relationships map info records and outline agreements from the R/3 System to the APO System. If
external procurement relationships are included in APO, a source determination takes place in the
planning run in APO.
"Simple" transportation lanes are used for stock transfers. Transportation costs and capacities can
therefore also be taken into account in planning in APO.

Beyond Conventional Planning



Supply Network Planning (SNP) integrates the areas Purchasing, Production, Distribution and
Transportation. It is therefore possible to simulate and convert extensive tactical planning decisions
using sources of supply, based on a single global and consistent model.
SNP knows the stocks and previously planned receipts for end results and components of all
connected OLTP systems.
Using various planning methods, cross-location, viable plans can be made for the material flow
along the supply chain, taking constraints and penalties into consideration. The result is optimized
purchasing, production and distribution decisions, reduced warehouse stock, and improved customer
service.
Possible constraints may include material availability and free availability of warehouse, work
center, transportation, and handling capacities.
Supply Network Planning: Finite, cross-location, medium to long-term production and
procurement planning with simultaneous material planning and capacity planning.

with source of supply



If there is an external procurement relationship for a product in APO, this is assigned during the
planning run as a source of supply to the purchase requisition, which is then transferred to the R/3
System.
Generate purchase order: The R/3 System converts the purchase requisition to a purchase order, and
transfers the purchase order number to the APO System.
Enter confirmation: Shipping notification takes place in the R/3 System. As soon as the shipping
notification exists in the R/3 System, the system automatically transfers it to the APO System. The
system reduces the requirement quantities in APO to the notified quantity.
Post goods receipt: The goods receipt is posted in the R/3 System. As soon as you have posted the
goods receipt, the system automatically transfers it to APO. APO increases the stock and reduces the
open purchase order quantity. APO reduces the shipping notification (if used) to the goods receipt
quantity.
In this example, only the purchase requisition is created in APO, all further steps, such as conversion
of the purchase requisition into a purchase order take place in the R/3 System. It is also possible to
map the entire procurement process from the Purchasing view to the APO System. Confirmations,
and goods and invoice receipts are never entered in APO.
Note: For more detailed information on external procurement with APO, see the course SCM560
