13. Purchasing Organizations (GBI)
14. Purchasing Organizations (GBI)
15. Organizational Structure (Plants) In plants, we make things or store things A plant has a purchasing organization assigned to it There is a hierarchical relationship between the following A client has one or more plants (T001W) A plant has one or more storage locations T001L where goods are stored (logical or physical) A plant belongs to a valuation area (T001K) (where goods are valued) A plant belongs to a purchasing organization
16. Plant Table T001W Global Bike has 5 plants Each plant is assigned a purchasing organization
17. Storage Location Table T001L Global Bike uses logical storage locations
18. Valuation Table Plants belong to a valuation area A valuation area belongs to a company code So materials can be valued at the plant or company code level
19. GBI Organizational Structure
20. Materials Introduction Materials are the things we buy from vendors Supplies that we consume internally Trading goods that we buy and resell Raw materials that we use in production Semi-finished goods that we make from raw materials and use in the production of finished goods Finished goods that we make and sell using raw materials and semi-finished goods
21. Material Types SAP predefines several material types A material’s type dictates what can be done with the material
22. Material Types (Configuration) Material types are configured through the IMG (OMS2)
