agreement, you can have time-dependent or time-independent conditions subject to the customizations in the document type.
8. What is MRP? And how is Lot Size used?
MRP is short for Materials Requirements Planning and it is a production planning technique thats used to manage the manufacturing
process. It is basically used to determine your Material Planning procedure by specifying the various conditions like Reorder Point,
Seasonal Requirement, Replenishment, Vendor Managed, Forecast Based and Master Production Scheduling (MPS). Lot size specifies
the nature of material requirement in terms of Weekly, Monthly, Quantity and Maximum Replenishment.
9. What are batches and how are they searched?
A batch is a collection of similar items from your stock that have the same characteristics. For example, all food items produced on a
particular day belong to one batch.
Batches are searched using the standard facility (match code, key F4) based on the batch names or other properties that distinguish
them from others.
10. How is shelf life managed in SAP? Explain the full-cycle.
In SAP, there are basically two types of shelf-life:
1. Total Shelf Life In case the total shelf life is maintained, then its mandatory to enter the minimum shelf life also. During the
process of Goods Receipt (GR), the user will have to enter the manufactured date of the item so that the expiry date is automatically
calculated by the system.
2. Minimum Shelf Life The date of minimum durability of the item are specified by using date markings like use-by or best-
before. During the process of Goods Receipt (GR), the user will have to enter the date of GR so that the system can check if the
material is usable according to the requirements in material master. If the minimum remaining shelf life condition is not satisfied, then
the system will not accept the goods receipt.
11. What is a release strategy? What are release groups and codes?
The procurement process in SAP needs to be controlled by introducing authorizations at important stages. This is taken care by the
release strategy, which has different codes for assigned users. For example, if the value of a PO is more than a certain pre-defined
limit, then it has to be approved by the SCM manager with a certain release code. Every company will have different approval
mechanisms and the release strategy can be defined by the users.
Release groups are a set of release codes that are used for authorizing a purchasing document or approving a release strategy. Release
code is a 2-character ID that allows a person to approve or clear a PR or a PO and they are controlled by a step-by-step authorization
system. For example, Code 10 is assigned to the person who creates the PO, Code 20 is the release code assigned to the Purchase
manager for approval. Subsequently, the Department Head will use Code 30 to approve the release strategy, followed by the
Operations Director, who will use Code 40 for final approval.
12. What is a GR blocked stock and when is it used?
The GR blocked stock is an option used in the goods receipt process when you are not sure about the quality of the goods received. In
such a case, the stock is maintained as GR blocked either from a material viewpoint or exclusively for a purchase order item.
