Question: How to use Mass copy of Materials via MMCC?

Answer: To use MMCC in SAP, first you must have an existing Material Master. Then, use transaction MMCC to enter the reference Material Master, specify the number of Material to be "copied". Next, you will have to enter the new Material numbers (or leave blank if Material type allow Internal Number). Also don't forget to change the Material Description. Before executing the COPY, you can also select the Data level to copy (eg: Plant, Valuation, Warehouse etc) + Plant & SLoc (or other Org areas) if needed. The result screen is a LOG that shows success or failure. 

See the following Blog Post for the step:

Question: How to add more than one Ordering Address for Business Partner Vendor in S/4HANA?

Answer: Although the S/4HANA Business Partner allow validity period for the BP Vendor Address but it is not used for more than one Ordering Address like in the above case where Vendor BP69 is the Vendor where it is the Main Company of Vendor which will perform the Material or Service Delivery, Invoicing and Payee; it has 2 branches as the Ordering Address BP69-1 and BP69-2. Note the 2 branches will have to be created as Business Partner with BP Role "0000000" (Address) and "FLVU01" (Purchasing Organization). ("FLVU00" (Company Code) is not required for BP69-1 and BP69-2). When testing PR to PO conversion using FIORI App "Processing PR Professional (V2)" (F1048A), the dialogue to select the Ordering Address is not available (as of today). BUT when converting PR to PO via ME21N; there is a dialogue to select the Ordering Address. 

Additional configuration is not required for this example, please refer to the Blog Posts below for the settings and simulation of the scenario:

Question: Review Stock and Consumable scenario with GR-Valuated and GR-Non Valuated scenario.

Answer: methods of handling valuation (FICO posting) when receiving goods in SAP specifically for Consumables scenario. Valuated GR creates a financial posting at the time of receipt, updating the value of both the stock and the general ledger and controlling. Non-valuated GR only updates the quantity in the system at the time of receipt; the financial posting is deferred until the vendor's invoice is processed later, which is often preferred for fixed assets to comply with regulations that require capitalization upon invoice receipt.

Question: What is the difference between Lot Size key "HB" and "H1"?

Answer: Both MRP Types "VB" and "V1" are standard SAP Manual Re-Order Point MRP Types with parameters that allow configuration for external requirement considerations. The MRP Type can be coupled with different Lot Size Key and this example cover Lot Size key "Replenishment to Maximum Stock Level" where standard SAP Lot Size "HB" and "H1" can be selected where the difference is also if external requirements are to be considered. It is important to match the correct Lot Size Key to the MRP Type to obtain the desired planning results. The purpose of a replenishment maximum is to maintain a high but not excessive inventory level by ensuring stock is always replenished up to a predetermined maximum quantity when it drops below a minimum threshold. This prevents stockouts for fast-moving items, especially when space is limited, and can reduce the frequency of replenishment tasks.

The Blog Post will be attempting to demonstrate the parameters in MRP Type "VB" and "V1" coupled with Lot Size Key "HB" and "H1" to use to replenishment of Stocks to "Maximum Stock Level".
