It helps companies decide what to buy, from whom, at what price, and how to keep track of stock after delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The purchase order (PO) is the legal document sent to a supplier. It says the material, quantity, price, delivery date and payment terms. Trainers focus heavily on POs, because errors here can ripple into inventory and finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_You_Learn_From_Training_Step_By_Step\"><\/span><strong>What Do You Learn From Training Step By Step?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Typically, structured courses follow this flow:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Material master, info records (master data), vendor master<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase requisition (ME51N): internal request to purchase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vendor price comparison: Quote and RFQ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create purchase order (ME21N) Change your selected quotation to a PO.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Release strategy: Approval workflows, by value or department.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Goods receipt (MIGO): Acknowledge delivery and adjust inventory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invoice verification (MIRO): 3 way match of PO, receipt and invoice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Learners will also learn about the PO types, account assignment categories and special procurement such as subcontracting and stock transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_The_Skills_and_Tools_You_Use\"><\/span><strong>What Are The Skills and Tools You Use?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You work in the SAP GUI or Fiori environment and learn how MM interfaces with Finance (FICO) and Sales (SD). You also learn about the pricing conditions, tolerance limits and how to troubleshoot blocked invoices. Practical exercises like raising a PO for raw materials and posting its receipt, etc. build confidence faster than theory alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Should_Go_for_SAP_MM_Classes\"><\/span><strong>Who Should Go for SAP MM Classes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fresh Graduates for ERP roles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchasing, store and procurement professionals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supply chain and logistics people<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SAP consultants or support people starting out<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No coding skills required.
