SAP MM FICO

 

SAP MM (Materials Management) and SAP FICO (Financial Accounting and Controlling) are two distinct modules within the SAP ERP system, each serving specific functions:

SAP MM (Materials Management)

  • Focus: This module manages the entire lifecycle of materials within an organization, from procurement and inventory management to material planning and invoice verification.
  • Key Functions:
  • Procurement: Creating purchase requisitions and purchase orders and managing vendor relationships.
  • Inventory Management: Tracking stock levels, valuation, and movements within the warehouse.
  • Material Planning: Forecasting demand, creating production plans, and managing bills of material (BOM).
  • Invoice Verification: Matching invoices with purchase orders and goods receipts to ensure accuracy.

SAP FICO (Financial Accounting and Controlling)

  • Focus: This module handles all financial and accounting processes within an organization, including financial accounting, management accounting, and financial reporting.
  • Key Functions:
  • Financial Accounting (FI): Recording financial transactions, generating financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement), managing accounts receivable and payable, and handling asset accounting.
  • Controlling (CO): Managing cost center accounting, profitability analysis, budgeting and planning, and internal orders.

Why are SAP MM and FICO often mentioned together?

While SAP MM and FICO are separate modules, they are closely integrated. This is because the procurement and management of materials have a direct impact on a company’s financial health. For example, the purchase of raw materials affects inventory levels, which in turn impacts the cost of goods sold and, ultimately, profitability.

Example of MM-FICO Integration:

  1. A purchase order for raw materials is created in MM.
  2. The goods are received and recorded in MM.
  3. An invoice is received and verified in MM.
  4. FICO automatically posts the financial transactions related to the purchase and receipt of goods.
  5. The cost of the raw materials is allocated to relevant cost centers in CO for analysis and reporting.

In conclusion:

SAP MM and FICO are potent modules that, when used together, provide a comprehensive solution for managing materials and finances within an organization. Their integration ensures accurate and up-to-date financial information, streamlined processes, and improved decision-making.
