OUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN DEVELOPMENT , QUALITY AND PRODUCTON
PLS EXPLAIN BRIEFLY
Development is the server where all the configurations will
be done which later on move to the Quality for UAT(User
acceptance testing)& if the configuration is working
perfectly then it will be moved to Production Server which
is also called as Go-live...
Basically Dev. server is a modifiable server And Qal/Prod
are unmodifiable servers.where u can not be able to make any
changes...
Development Server :- Modifiable
Quality Server :- Unmodifiable And for Testing purpose for

5.can anybody explain me FI-MM integartion.pl explain in detail
i. Movement types:
Classification key indicating the type of material movement (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, physical stock transfer).
The movement type enables the system to find predefined posting rules determining how the accounts of the financial accounting system (stock and consumption accounts) are to be posted and how the stock fields in the material master record are to be updated.
ii. Valuation class
Assignment of a material to a group of G/L accounts
Along with other factors, the valuation class determines the G/L accounts that are updated as a result of a valuation-relevant transaction or event, such as a goods movement.
The valuation class makes it possible to:
- Post the stock values of materials of the same material type to different G/L accounts
- Post the stock values of materials of different material types to the same G/L account
iii. Transaction/Event Key
Key allowing the user to differentiate between the various transactions and events (such as physical inventory transactions and goods movements) that occur within the field of inventory management.
The transaction/event type controls the filing/storage of documents and the assignment of document numbers.
iv. Material Type
Groups together materials with the same basic attributes, for example, raw materials, semifinished products, or finished products.
When creating a material master record, you must assign the material to a material type. The material type you choose determines:
- Whether the material is intended for a specific purpose, for example, as a configurable
material or process material
- Whether the material number can be assigned internally or externally
- The number range from which the material number is drawn
- Which screens appear and in what sequence
- Which user department data you may enter
- What procurement type the material has; that is, whether it is manufactured in-house or
procured externally, or both
Together with the plant, the material type determines the material's inventory management requirement, that is:
- Whether changes in quantity are updated in the material master record
- Whether changes in value are also updated in the stock accounts in financial accounting

Account Assignment Model:
A reference for document entry that provides default values for posting business transactions. An account assignment model can contain any number of G/L account items and can be changed or supplemented at any time. In contrast to sample documents, the G/L account items for account assignment models may be incomplete.
Recurring Entries:
A periodically recurring posting made by the recurring entry program on the basis of recurring entry original documents.
The procedure is comparable with a standing order by which banks are authorized to debit rent payments, payment contributions or loan repayments.
Sample Documents:
Special type of reference document. Data from this document is used to create default entries on the accounting document entry screen.
Unlike an accounting document, a sample document does not update transaction figures but merely serves as a data source for an accounting document.
