What is Business flow & Business Methodology

Hi Guru's
I hope all are doing well in your jobs. I am in job Hunting. Can someone explain me on above said topic. Its bit confusing. And also provide me the difference between these two.
Thanks in advance for your valuable time spending and answers too.

Hi Sidheer,
It is a very interesting question you have asked.
I will try to explain in my terminology
Business flow : From SAP point of you , will be the procee chain from start till end
for example Order2Cash will be a complete business cycle which include Sales cycle till invoice to customer including various steps require to fulfill your business requirement will be considered as flow of business.
Coming to Business Methodologies :
This will be high level definition for you business based on industry best practices.
Methodologies for example ASAP will be used at the time of SAP implementation.
I hope it helps you to understand the difference,
Regards
Ajay
Please award points

Re : what is Material Managemnet   Business Flow ?

Hi , what is materail Management flow mean Business Flow (SAP-MM) pls help me
Kind Regards
Arief .S

Hi,
Please go through this info for a basic idea in MM business process flow.
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)   *-- Santosh Kumaar.M
Full MM Transaction Codes Flow:
RFQ to Vendor - ME41
Raising Quotation - ME47
Comparison of Price - ME49
Creation of PO - ME21N
Goods Receipt - MIGO
Invoice (Bill PAssing) - MIRO
Goods Issue - MB1A
Physical Inventory - MI01( Create doc)
MI04 (Enter Count)
MI07 (Post)
The FI - MM integration:
First you define the g/l master records.
1) Inventry raw material a/c
2) GR/IR clearing a/c
3) Raw material consumption a/c
Above like this you define all required g/l accounts then you will go to T.CODE - OBYC
Double click BSX (this is transaction key)
      "            GBB
      "            WRX
      "            PRD
These are transaction keys important.
Then you go to T CODE - OMSY (this is also important) then
Material creation T Code MM01
then
1) Purchase order T.code ME21N
2) Goods received     "       MIGO
3) Invoice verification "      MIRO
Hope it helps. Pl reward if useful.

Business flow in SD

Hello gurus,
I am an ABAPer . i would like to know the overview of business flow in sales and distribution. can anyone help me rearding this.
Thanks in advance.
sanam

Hi Ramu,
Business Flow is nothing but the sales process what happens and how it happens in SAP- SD. We can have a variety of Sales processess happening and it would be difficult to really explain all the variety of sales hapenning. I will just give a brief about the basic sales cycle and most of the sales takes place with a few changes to the basic sales cycle.
1. Creation of Inquiry: Tcode: VA21
This a document sent by customer enquiring baout more details abou the product or services our company is offering
2. Quotation: VA11
This is created with ref to the inquiry(VA21). This document give detailed information about the product or service you are offering with Terms & conditions of the sales
3. Order: VA01
This is document created with ref to VA11. And this is a mandetory document for rest of the process.
This comletes the sales process and then we have SHipping Process (sending the material to the customer in SAP SD Ship-to-party)
4. Delivery: VL01N
This is created with ref to Order. this is the basic document using which the activities take place in Stores/Plant and teh material is transported to Customer.
5. Picking: LT03
Created with ref to delievry. This is the process of mapping that some one is physically taking the material required to be sent to Ship-to-party from a particular Bin (Rack)
6. Confirmation of Picking: LT12
This is to confirm that the material picked is as per requirement and as per dleievry and no extra material is picked
7. Post Goods Issue: VL02N
Process after which the material leave your premises (stores/Plant) and is transported to Ship-to-party)
8. Billing: VF01 Tables used:
Process of Billing customer for the Prooducts you have sold or services you have offered.
Hope this provides dome basic understanding about Business Flow/ Sales process in SAP - SD.

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs?

Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

Dear,
The transactions description itself explanatory.
IH09 - Display Material
MM01 - Create Material
MM02 - Change Material
MM03 - Display Material
MM50 - List Extendable Materials
MMBE - Stock Overview
MMI1 - Create Operating Supplies
MMN1 - Create Non-Stock Material
MMS1 - Create Service
MMU1 - Create Non-Valuated Material
For any tranasction help - you can click on help button or by selection HELP - Application help.
Regarding Simple MM Business flow, please have a look (you can find the info from earlier posts in SDN by searching or from first thread)
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 under deliveries 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.

Syed Hussain.
