Explain FI-MM Integration?

Answer


FI-MM Integration is based on the following:
1.    Movement Types
2.    Valuation Class
3.    Transaction Keys
4.    Material Type
The Movement Type is the ‘classification key’ indicating the type of material movement (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, physical stock transfer). The movement type enables the system to find pre-defined posting rules determining how the accounts in FI (stock and consumption accounts) are to be posted and how the stock fields in the material master record are to be updated.
The Valuation Class refers to the assignment of a material to a group of GL accounts. Along with other factors, the valuation class determines the GL accounts that are updated as a result of a valuation-relevant transaction or event, such as a goods movement. The valuation class makes it possible to:
1.    Post the stock values of materials of the same material type to different GL accounts.
2.    Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same GL account.
The Transaction Key (also known as the ‘Event Key or Process Key’) allows users to
differentiate between various transactions and events (such as physical inventory transactions and goods movements) that occur within the area of inventory management. The transaction/event type controls the filing/storage of documents and the assignment of document numbers. The Material Type groups together materials with the same basic attributes, forWhen creating a material master record, you must assign the material to a material type.
The material type determines:
Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a Configurable
Material or Process Material.
1.    Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally.
2.    The Number Range from which the material number is drawn.
3.    Which screens appear and in what sequence.
4.    Which user department data you may enter.
5.    What Procurement Type the material has that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or procured externally, or both Together with the plant, the material type determines the material’s inventory management requirement, that is:
6.    􀂃Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record.
7.    􀂃Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting.
  example, raw materials, semi-finished products, or finished products.
