The SAP MM Consulting Experience — train like a real procurement consultant before you land the role.

A 6-stage SAP MM simulation where you operate as a junior consultant on a fictional Canadian client engagement — Grand River Components Inc. (Project Anvil) — producing 300+ real consulting deliverables across Discover, Explore, Realize, Test, Deploy and Interview Ready stages, following SAP Activate methodology throughout.

An SAP MM consultant configures the procurement and inventory management system — setting up vendor and material masters, purchasing organisations, purchase order workflows, goods receipt processes and invoice verification. They run workshops with procurement and warehouse teams, write functional specifications, test every scenario, and support the warehouse during go-live. The Consulting Experience covers every one of these activities.

Procure-to-Pay (P2P) starts with a purchase requisition (internal request to buy), converts to a purchase order (external commitment to vendor), records goods receipt when materials arrive (MIGO), performs three-way matching on the vendor invoice (MIRO), and completes with vendor payment (F110 automatic payment run). It is the foundational SAP MM business process and the most common interview topic. The complete P2P chain is verified end-to-end in Mission MM25.

Regular SAP MM training teaches T-codes and configuration steps. The Consulting Experience teaches how a real procurement consulting project operates — blueprinting, functional specifications, test scripts, go-live checklists, defect registers and mock interviews. No other provider in North America offers a structured multi-stage MM simulation with a named fictional client and SAP Activate built into every phase.

A configuration that requires purchase orders above defined value thresholds to be formally approved before transmission to vendors. Grand River uses four release levels: auto-approve under CAD 5,000; Procurement Manager approval for CAD 5,000–10,000; VP Operations for CAD 10,000–50,000; CFO above CAD 50,000. Configured using CEKKO class, characteristics and release codes in SPRO. Covered in Mission MM23 — with a full functional specification and test script.

MIRO is the SAP transaction for matching a vendor invoice against the purchase order price and goods receipt quantity. If all three agree within tolerance, the invoice posts automatically and is available for the next payment run. If the invoice price is more than 3% above the PO price, or the quantity is more than 5% different, the invoice is payment-blocked and requires AP supervisor review via MRBR. Covered in Mission MM14 with tolerance key configuration, tax code setup and a full test script.

OBYC is the SAP configuration table that determines which GL accounts are automatically updated on every goods movement. Transaction key BSX controls stock accounts (by valuation class), WRX controls the GR/IR clearing account, PRD handles price differences, and GBB/VBR handles consumption. Without OBYC being correctly configured, every goods receipt and goods issue would fail to post to the financial accounts — it is the fundamental MM-FICO integration point. Covered in Mission MM22.

You should have completed or be actively completing SAP MM configuration training before starting the Consulting Experience. The programme assumes you can navigate the SAP MM IMG, understand basic T-codes (ME21N, MIGO, MIRO) and have some familiarity with the procurement process. The Consulting Experience is not a beginner's course — it is the layer that sits on top of your training and transforms it into project experience.

Yes. The programme is designed for students who have completed or are completing VoiSAP's SAP MM training. It builds directly on your configuration knowledge and adds the consulting layer that training alone cannot provide.

MRP (Material Requirements Planning) is the SAP process that automatically generates purchase requisitions based on demand signals — stock levels, sales orders or forecasts. Yes, you configure MRP for Grand River Components in Stage 3. You set the MRP type, lot size, safety stock and reorder point for Grand River's material masters, and you understand how the MRP run triggers the procurement cycle.

316 consulting documents across 6 stages. These include teaching documents (ANV-TCH), functional specifications (ANV-FSP), test scripts (ANV-TST), transport and training plans (ANV-TRP, ANV-TRN), UAT and closure documents (ANV-UAT, ANV-CLO), Caledon worked references (KEY-WRF, KEY-EXP) and instructor marking guides (INST-MRK). Every document follows a professional consulting format.

Fully. The programme is delivered live online and available to candidates across the United States. Stage 6 includes US-specific content — salary benchmarks in USD, H-1B visa considerations for international candidates, and how to position the Consulting Experience on US job applications. Grand River itself has a US plant (GRUS — Sterling Heights, Michigan) so cross-border configuration is built into the programme.

MM-FICO integration is the broader concept — every goods movement in MM automatically creates FI accounting documents without manual journals. OBYC is the specific configuration table that makes this happen by mapping each movement type to the correct GL accounts via transaction keys (BSX, WRX, PRD, GBB). Getting OBYC wrong means your goods receipts post to the wrong inventory accounts — or fail entirely. The complete MM-FICO chain is built in Missions MM15 and MM22, then verified end-to-end in Mission MM25.

Caledon Furniture Group Inc. (Project Keystone) is the worked reference client. For every Stage 2 and Stage 3 mission, a fully completed Caledon document (KEY-WRF or KEY-EXP) is provided showing you exactly how the same type of document looks when correctly done — so you always have a model to check your Grand River work against. It mirrors how a real consulting firm provides worked examples and templates for junior team members.

Yes. The programme is structured to run alongside or immediately following your core SAP MM training. Each stage builds on the configuration knowledge you are developing in your live sessions. Many students begin Stage 2 while they are still completing their MM training.

COGI is the SAP transaction for processing failed goods movements — situations where a goods issue or goods receipt could not be posted automatically because of a master data problem, missing valuation data or a period-close conflict. At Grand River, COGI clearance is the first step of the MM period close sequence (MMPV/MMRV). Covered in Mission MM28 — the programme walks you through identifying the error type, correcting the underlying data and reprocessing each failed document before the period can advance.

MMPV is the SAP transaction that advances the MM posting period — moving the system from one month to the next so new goods movements can be posted in the correct period. MM period close must happen before FI period close (OB52) because outstanding goods movements directly affect inventory accounts and the GR/IR clearing account. At Grand River, the Controller Dev Sandhu requires COGI clearance confirmed and MMRV verified before MMPV can run. Covered in Mission MM28.

Subcontracting is an SAP MM process where Grand River sends components to an external vendor (movement type 541), the vendor processes them into a finished or semi-finished item, and Grand River receives the finished product back (movement type 101) with automatic component consumption (movement type 543). The subcontracting PO uses item category L. Grand River uses subcontracting for brake calliper assembly — raw steel is sent out, finished callipers return. Covered in Mission MM19 with a complete functional specification and test script.

A Purchasing Info Record (PIR) is an SAP master data object that stores the agreed purchasing conditions between a specific vendor and a specific material — including the last purchase price, agreed delivery lead time, minimum order quantity and any vendor-specific tolerances. When a purchase order is created for that vendor-material combination, SAP automatically defaults the price and conditions from the PIR, eliminating manual data entry. Grand River's PIRs are configured in Mission MM10 using T-code ME11, with mandatory source lists activated for strategic raw materials.

Physical inventory is the formal process of counting actual stock on-hand and reconciling it against SAP system quantities. In SAP MM, this involves three steps: creating a physical inventory document (MI01), entering the counted quantities (MI04), and posting the inventory difference (MI07) which adjusts stock and automatically creates an FI accounting document to the inventory adjustment account (GL 520000). Grand River also runs ABC cycle counting for high-value components — so the full annual count is replaced by continuous smaller counts. Controller Dev Sandhu requires differences over CAD 500 or 2% quantity to be approved before posting. Covered in Mission MM17.

The MM-SD integration point in the programme is Mission MM26 — goods issue for customer orders. When Grand River's SD team raises a sales order for a customer in Detroit, it creates a reservation in MM for finished goods. The goods issue (movement type 601) posts the outbound delivery, reduces inventory and automatically creates FI accounting entries: debit Cost of Goods Sold (GL 500000), credit Finished Goods Inventory (GL 132000). The Available-to-Promise (ATP) check in SD queries MM stock in real time to prevent overselling. The complete integration chain is verified end-to-end in this mission.

Consignment processing allows Grand River to hold vendor-owned stock on-site without creating a financial liability until the stock is consumed. The goods receipt (movement type 101 K) posts stock to a consignment special stock type with no FI document — Grand River owns nothing yet. When stock is consumed in production (movement type 201 K), SAP automatically creates the liability posting to the vendor. T-code MRKO runs periodic consignment settlement to pay the vendor for consumed quantities. This improves Grand River's working capital position on high-volume commodity materials. Covered in Mission MM20.

On your resume, create a Project Experience section: Client — Grand River Components Inc., Project — Project Anvil, Role — Junior SAP MM Consultant, Scope — 6-stage greenfield S/4HANA implementation, Kitchener, Ontario, 2026. In interviews, reference specific deliverables by document code — ANV-FSP-MM23 (PO release strategy functional spec), ANV-GAP-007 (vendor master gap analysis), ANV-TST-MM14 (MIRO test script) — and walk the interviewer through the business requirement, your configuration decision and the sign-off outcome. This level of specificity is what separates Consulting Experience graduates from every other candidate in the room.
