SAP Material Management (SAP MM)

Streamline material flows and logistics for smoother, faster, and more cost-effective production

SAP Materials Management

SAP Materials Management (MM) is a core module in the SAP ERP system that manages all aspects of material and inventory handling within an organization. It covers procurement, goods receipt, inventory management, and material planning, ensuring that the right materials are available at the right time and cost to support smooth business operations.

SAP MM integrates with other SAP modules like Finance (FI), Controlling (CO), Sales and Distribution (SD), and Production Planning (PP) to provide a unified, real-time view of material flows, procurement costs, and stock levels.

By using SAP MM, organizations can:

  • Automate and standardize procurement processes
  • Improve inventory accuracy and reduce excess stock
  • Strengthen supplier collaboration and compliance
  • Enhance visibility into material availability and movements

Whether for manufacturing, retail, or service industries, SAP MM plays a vital role in optimizing supply chain efficiency and controlling costs.
