I'll start the ball rolling. Please guys remember the deadline on Tuesday (8pm) for the questions on how the company architecture and what flows we should look at.

[saud.umair]

Hey Alex, I've just listed some questions for Sumit but I guess he's not a part of this group. Can you please add him to this group so that he can answer our queries? Thanks.

[Alex]

Shogun:

Thanks for the questions, I will be in a meeting with Summit in Thursday to discuss everything. Big thumbs up mate some of those questions I didn't think about so ill put them forward.

Thanks again Sandeep, I had read your email before but didin't have the time to answer. Like i have emailed you I am expecting a response by the end of the day today.

What does this mean for us?

We will be able to start drawing up process and data flows for as-is and start thinking about the to-be processes so we can build a blueprint.

All the best,

Alex

[Alex]

Hey guys (MM), One quick update, we have some requirements back, however we will wait until ALL the requirements are all available before they are released

[Alex]

One big update,

The requirements are out on dropbox --> MM --> Week2 --> rough drafts.

I need everyone to read them so that we can go through them and then talk about what we can do, from here we will split the activities between everyone and we will have individual timetables to follow.

Speak to you soon,

[sandeep kapoor]

Hi,

I have uploaded the Enterprise Structure in Rough Drafts in MM module.
Basic reasoning for plant assignment is based upon Geographical Area being given the status of plant. Valuation will be easy. Moreover, each geographical area is doing its own local purchasing to some extent.

Basic reasoning behind Purch. Organization structure is: each decentralized plant needs to maintain its own prices(even if same material is being purchased from the same vender as due to decentralized nature of the purchasing, these materials in-spite of being the same may have different prices).

Geographical Area(plant) and Purchasing Organization have 1:1 ratio, hence, each plant will have one purchasing organization, and with the exception of Furniture and Sports Equipment(Decentralized purchasing) all Purch. Organizations can refer to reference purchasing organization.

Purch group is based upon (hence, restricted to) business lines.

Rajeev,

 I think it looks good, but i have to be careful about saying that because it is a bit all over the place so im not sure if you have understood the process?

Then again it might just be a quick document so it depends.

The big thing now is to get a finished product of DOCUMENT FLOW and DATA FLOW: eg doc:    PO ------> GR ------> LIV --------->
                                                                                                                               eg data:                            (Data Acrued)  

and then on top there would be the subsequent settlement agreement, and an analysis so we may expect the credit with a credit memo, etc.

Hope this helps,

Sandeep, i think it looks ready. Just draw it out if you can for all other modules to be able to visualize how to structure their areas.

TO Segun,

The diagrams look good, (like the fact that you had to add an extra "mini" diagram for invoice). Anything stopping you from doing blueprint?

Good man,

Hi Alex,

I have posted the Goods Return (with penalty charges) Data Flow Diagram on the Rough Draft folder.

Alex, Please advice: Am I suppose to do part of Shashi's work and if yes, then which aspect?

Sandeep

[Alex]

Sandeep, The flow diagram goes into the sort of detail that's needed. You wont find it hard to do the rest of the process because i think your diagram is easy to follow.

Rajeev: If you can tidy up a bit the diagram it will be perfect.

As far as master data is concerned:

Material Master:

Segun: I need you to look up for Master data fields for materials. Also separate the fields needed depending on material type (normally the same but sometimes different) this includes configurable materials.

Finally please coordinate with FI how and when the posting periods are going to happen (monthly, quarterly, etc). And post an excel sheet on dropbox with material master fields so that SD, FI, can add their bit.

Vendor Master:

Sandeep: As far as vendor master is concerned we need to activate all the required indicators (Rebate, returns, ERS, and probable one I'm forgetting). With this we can work out evaluations (standard evaluations are better now since there is no time for anything that involves complex analysis) Vendor Evaluation can be on something like prices or delivery consistency.

Purchasing Master:

Which brings me on to prices. Sandeep, since you are doing vendor master I reacon its going to be easier for you to use that and create working models of quota arrangements and preferred supplier lists (source lists)

For info records, Rajeev, I think you can also get involved in master data by using the data created by sandeep and segun and creating info records and contracts. Also remember service masters have to be in place as well (we will talk about that tomorrow).

And finally prices. We will do that together tomorow so that everyone can do their own bit based on that.

See you soon,

Alex,

Please note: I have uploaded the final blue print for Return goods to vender procedure.

Sandeep

[sege002]

Hi Alex.

 

please Kindly check Dropbox for the revised version of the first blueprint I posted on Saturday, I also need to know if it is possible to assign a material to more than one material group.

 

Segun

[Alex]

Hey:

Segun: Lots of work done, i can see that. (some cutting and pasting to but it does the trick). Materials have been grouped and look good blue[print has been signed off. All we need now is to create the excel file with all the fields necessary per material type. You also need to work on consignment as well remember!

Rajeev, I have signed off that last one, (although the images on the second page are upsidedown) please re-do that and its final. Well done

Sandeep: Well done, I have signed it of (the returns). However the enterprise structure still isn't complete!

Hi Alex,

I have uploaded an unfinished draft for vendor data model.
I need to discuss this with you.

Sandeep

[sandeep kapoor]

Hi Alex,

I will not be able to come online..but i need to discuss vendor master with you.

My mobile number is: 07877953423. Please give me a call today. I can also call you, but dont have your phone number.

Sandeep

[sandeep kapoor]

Hi Alex,

I have uploaded the vendor configuration. Can you please check and advice if I am on the right track?

Sandeep

[Alex]

Yep I am seeing it right now. About the questions in there:

Because the account groups are designed keep them as they are. There would possibly be a need to distinguish between domestic and other vendors based on the field selection necessary, however that is not the case here. We could do this distinction when applying a "foreign" pricing procedure to those vendors instead.

As far one time vendors, there should be somewhere to account for them, it should be in the FI document somewhere, if not I'll as Sumit where it is.

For the last classification question, this doesn't have much to do with MM.

All the best,

[sandeep kapoor]

Hi Alex,

Can you please check the rough folder and in the rough folder, check the vendor configuration?
Can you please advice...is this the format that you are looking for? or is it different?

[sandeep kapoor]

Alex, I have uploaded the second draft for the vendor configuration. if this draft is acceptable, then, I will upload the Organisational Structure configuration tomorow.

Sandeep.

Akanbi,

I cannot find your uploaded document on dropbox.

can you please upload it at MM - rough drafts

[Sumit Gupta]

HI Team, 

I have uploaded the Vendor Master in the 100 client with MM details 

Alex - It did not allow me to select (Return Vendor) as that was not allowed so i have removed that and configured the rest as it is

In the next week till saturday, i would work on the CO setup (else you wanna do it in parallel) 

Meanwhile you can work on Assets ....
