In today’s fast-paced manufacturing and supply chain environment, SAP MM (Materials Management) stands out as a critical SAP ERP module designed to streamline procurement and inventory processes. By providing an integrated suite of tools for requisitioning, ordering, goods receipt, invoice verification, and inventory management, SAP MM enables organizations to optimize their material flow from suppliers to production lines. With real-time visibility into stock levels, purchase orders, and supplier performance, companies can reduce carrying costs, prevent stockouts, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
