SAP is the abbreviated term for Systems, Applications, and Products. The SAP ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software package was first developed by SAP AG in Germany and is comprised of numerous modules that allow businesses to deliver excellent customer satisfaction while taking full control of daily operations to maximize results.
Among the many modules is the SAP MM (Materials Management) module, which is part of the logistics area and is often integrated into production and manufacturing facilities that utilize SAP. The SAP MM module handles the procurement and inventory functions of organizations that engage in large volumes of purchasing by giving them hands-on control of inventory management, batch management, purchasing, client categorization, valuation, invoice verification and procurement process, just to name a few. In a nutshell, if you are considering a career path as a SAP MM consultant the prospects are basically endless.
With the use of SAP ERP, businesses in essence automate the input and output of information across specific sections of their organization. For those concerned about materials management, the SAP MM module is integrated with other modules such as Sales and Distribution (SD), Warehouse Management (WM), Production Planning (PP), Quality Management (QM), Finance (FI) and Controlling (CO) so external and internal aspects are factored into each decision stage. It is therefore imperative that a deep understanding of how these modules work alongside the SAP MM module is fully in place to generate accurate input and output information in a quick and reliable manner. For this reason beginners and even seasoned SAP MM consultants must have a full understanding of SAP Financial Accounting and SAP Warehouse training.
