ABSTRACT
Any business requires that the revenues and expenses for all business activities performed across all business units, departments, and so on are captured accurately and instantly. Apart from the financial aspect, businesses also require accounting information as to what expenses are accrued for which material or activity. In procurement activities, user departments request the purchase of materials and services through either manual or automated process such as material requirement planning in the form of purchase requisitions (PRs). PRs are basically notes of requirements from user departments. In plants, user departments need raw materials to make finished goods. A Systems, Applications, and Products (SAP) materials management consultant needs to customize the SAP application as per customer needs and then train the end users so that they can use the customized application effectively. SAP implementation projects follow a project methodology known as accelerated SAP. The entire implementation project is divided into project phases.
