SAP SD MM Integration
SAP SD MM Integration represents the seamless cross-functional interface between Sales & Distribution (SD) and Materials Management (MM). It controls critical business operations including availability checking (ATP), plant and storage location determination, stock transfers, movement types for goods issue (e.g., 601), and third-party purchase requisition creation from sales orders.
Key characteristics and aspects of SAP SD MM Integration include:
-
Plant and Storage Location Determination:
- Automating plant assignment based on customer-material info records, customer master records, and material master defaults.
-
Availability Check (ATP Rule Setup):
- Configuring checking groups and checking rules to determine stock availability during order entry.
-
Movement Type Mapping:
- Assigning goods movement types (such as 601 for outbound delivery goods issue or 651 for customer returns) to schedule line categories.
-
Third-Party Order Processing (TAS):
- Configuring automatic generation of Purchase Requisitions (PR) in MM upon saving a sales order in SD.
-
Individual Purchase Orders (TAB):

Stock Transport Order (STO):
