SAP MM Consignment and Pipeline Procurement

SAP MM Consignment & Pipeline Procurement Essentials

Consignment and pipeline procurement are sophisticated models in SAP Materials Management—allowing you to optimize inventory while deferring payment and gaining insight into market pricing patterns. This course walks through configuration steps for both processes, then validates your work through systematic testing mirroring how end-users will interact with the system.

Business examples ground each process in real logistics context. Accounting entries are traced for every goods movement, clarifying the financial impact of consignment vs. traditional purchase. Invoice settlement via the MRKO transaction is explained clearly. The structured approach—configuration, testing, accounting logic—ensures you understand not just the how, but the why behind each step. Ideal for functional consultants and power-users needing to configure or troubleshoot these specialized procurement paths within SAP.
