Hi Suresh,
Please follow the below steps for SD,MM and some links also:
Document Flow in Sales :
The sales documents you create are individual documents but they can also form part of a chain of inter-related documents. For example, you may record a customer’s telephone inquiry in the system. The customer next requests a quotation, which you then create by referring to the inquiry. The customer later places an order on the basis of the quotation and you create a sales order with reference to the quotation. You ship the goods and bill the customer. After delivery of the goods, the customer claims credit for some damaged goods and you create a free-of-charge delivery with reference to the sales order. The entire chain of documents – the inquiry(va11), the quotation(VA21), the sales order(va01), the delivery(VL01N),picking(VL02N), the invoice(VF01), and the subsequent delivery free of charge – creates a document flow or history. The flow of data from one document into another reduces manual activity and makes problem resolution easier. Inquiry and quotation management in the Sales Information System help you to plan and control your sales.
SD FLOW:
Sales
Inquiry - A customer’s request to a company that they provide a quotation or sales information without obligation. An inquiry can relate to materials or services, conditions and if necessary delivery dates. The sales area that accepts the inquiry becomes responsible for further processing.
Quotation - A quotation presents the customer with a legally binding offer for delivering a product or providing a service within certain fixed conditions. This offer is legally binding for the company within a specified time period. A sales area can reply to a customer inquiry with a customer quotation or use it to refer to a business partner contact.
Sales Order - Request from a customer to a company to deliver a defined quantity of products or provide a service at a certain time.
The sales area that accepts the inquiry is responsible for completing the agreement.
Create Delivery:a. Picking - The picking process involves taking goods from a storage location and staging the right quantity in a picking area where the goods will be prepared for shipping.
b. Packing - Packing is part of delivery- and shipment processing. When you process a delivery, you can select delivery items for packing and assign them to handling units (HUs).
c. Goods Issue - As soon as the goods leave the company, the shipping business activity is finished. This is illustrated using goods issue for outbound deliveries.
Billing - Billing represents the final processing stage for a business transaction in Sales and Distribution. Information on billing is available at every stage of order processing and delivery processing.
Sales document flow is as below.
1)VA11- It starts with an enquiry where i am enquire regarding the products a company s based on pre sales activities the company carries out like say mailers on any campaign that i have carried out that leads to an enquiry.
2) Va21- Next A quatation is placed ,Customer may have enquired about 30 products but you give quotation to only 20 items subject to their availability with you. quotation is a binding document about conformed price & delivery schedule.
3) VA01- When a quatation is placed the next step is the sales order. The same is a purchase order for the person who places the order and a sales order for the person who sells the products.
4) VL01N- Once the order is placed i create a delivery where i need to deliver the goods to the customer, here I need to see that pick qty and delivery qty is the same pick qty is that qty where i pick the goods from my warehouse.
5) Once i do the delivery the next step is Post goods Issue, which means my stock gets reduced and all my previous documents get updated. A post goods issue can be done before the goods leave to the customer or when the goods are in transit. But the same should be done.
6) VF01- The next step would be billing where after doing the post goods issue i raise and invoice to the customer which is called billing.
7) If the customer finds that there are some goods which are damaged he would return the goods back which are called returns and i would then raise a credit memo which would give him credit for the damaged goods.

MM Process flow
The typical procurement cycle for a service or material consists of the following phases:
1. Determination of Requirements
Materials requirements are identified either in the user departments or via materials planning and control. (This can cover both MRP proper and the demand-based approach to inventory control. The regular checking of stock levels of materials defined by master records, use of the order-point method, and forecasting on the basis of past usage are important aspects of the latter.) You can enter purchase requisitions yourself, or they can be generated automatically by the materials planning and control system.
2. Source Determination
The Purchasing component helps you identify potential sources of supply based on past orders and existing longer-term purchase agreements. This speeds the process of creating requests for quotation (RFQs), which can be sent to vendors electronically via SAP EDI, if desired.
3. Vendor Selection and Comparison of Quotations
The system is capable of simulating pricing scenarios, allowing you to compare a number of different quotations. Rejection letters can be sent automatically.
4. Purchase Order Processing
The Purchasing system adopts information from the requisition and the quotation to help you create a purchase order. As with purchase requisitions, you can generate Pos yourself or have the system generate them automatically. Vendor scheduling agreements and contracts (in the SAP System, types of longer-term purchase agreement) are also supported.
5. Purchase Order Follow-Up
The system checks the reminder periods you have specified and - if necessary - automatically prints reminders or expediters at the predefined intervals. It also provides you with an up-to-date status of all purchase requisitions, quotations, and purchase orders.
6. Goods Receiving and Inventory Management
Goods Receiving personnel can confirm the receipt of goods simply by entering the Po number. By specifying permissible tolerances, buyers can limit over- and underdeliveries of ordered goods.
7. Invoice Verification
The system supports the checking and matching of invoices. The accounts payable clerk is notified of quantity and price variances because the system has access to PO and goods receipt data. This speeds the process of auditing and clearing invoices for payment.
And also have a look on this:

MRP Controller (MD11).
Material requirements can be genarated through sales dept or individual user departments.
Purchase Requisition(ME51).
once material requirement is defined then purchase requisition can be created. it can be automatic through MRP or manually by individual user or user dept.
Request For Quotation(ME41).
purchasing dept will collect the purchse requisition and send request for quotation to collect the vendors.
Purchase Order(ME21N)
before this, MM people select vendor as per company needs. the purchase order will be released to the vendor(supplier) for suppling material on predefined terms and conditions .
Order Conformation(VA01).
once purchas eorder is released the purchase dept will monitor and follow up for the supply.
Goods Receipt(MIGO).
on arrival of material the warehouse people will receave the material and process for goods receipt.
Invoice Verification(MIRO).
the accounting dept will receave the invoice from yhe vendor and compare with the purchase order and goods receipt note.
on the due date the accounting people will make payments based on terms and conditions.
The dataflow as functional process below are the points:
1) Purchasing Requsition -> sent by inventory dept to purcharsing dept
2) Request for Quotation(RFQ)-> Purchasing Dept shall ask the vendors to give the quotation for the requested materials by inventory.
3) Quotation -> Quotation is sent by vendors to the company
4) Purchase order-> Based on all paramers of a quotation sent by vendors. Vendors are selected from whom the material has to be obtained. The company gives purchase order to the vendor.
5) Good's receipt -> vendors sends the goods to the company with goods receipt
6) Invoice verification -> this done based on good's receipt. this means that the ordered goods have reached or not.
7) Payment -> payment is done based on invoice verification. this is (FI/CO).
