•Controlling (CO): materials intended for direct consumption and for services, since these can be directly assigned to a cost center or a production order.

•Sales and Distribution (SD):
•Within the framework of materials planning and control, a requirement that has arisen in the Sales area can be passed on to Purchasing
Process Flow:
1)Determination of Requirements: Through MRP, purchase requisitions
