Material Management covers the functionality required to purchase goods and services, manage inventory, and inspect incoming materials. The Purchasing function includes creation of requisitions, requisition approval, purchase order generation, and receipt of goods and services. Inventory Management includes issuing and transferring inventory, inventory restocking, and the inventory count and adjustment processes.

In SAP S/4HANA this module is known as Souring and Procurement.  SAP HANA Sourcing and Procurement provides an innovative and comprehensive suite of tools for efficient and effective sourcing and procurement processes. It enables organizations to streamline their purchasing and sourcing operations by automating key tasks, such as creating and managing requests for quotations, comparing bids and awarding contracts. The module also provides visibility and control over the total cost of ownership of purchased materials and services, as well as support for contract management, supplier evaluation, and audit trails. It also enables organizations to quickly identify and respond to market changes by providing access to up-to-date supplier and market intelligence. With SAP HANA Sourcing and Procurement, organizations are able to improve cost savings, reduce risk, optimize supply chain performance, and ensure compliance.
