Answer:
Do you have any idea what you are asking? %$@* OFF!!!!, and then try asking SAP AG or a serious implementation pertner or firm to help you, they have a little experience in this area, and generally like to help out with asking the right questions.....
Answer:
Did you ever seen something like i pasted below?
If you have a OSS account you can find it in SAP marketplace.
The file is called "mmquest" and it is MM related.
Why shoudn't be something like that about PM? Am i asking the moon?
Next time take a breath before calling someone stupid!!!!!!!
Materials Management Questionnaire
Instructions
This questionnaire is a tool that you can use to collect information about your business that will be usef5l for tailoring the R/3 System to your business needs. You will need Microsoft Word for Windows to work with this document. Enter your answers in the fields after the questions, using the tab key to move from field to field. You may save and later change your answers in this questionnaire just as you would with any other Word document.
1 Global Settings
1.1 Currencies
Does your company use foreign currencies in business documents? (e.g. buying products or entering an invoice in foreign currency.) Yes No
Does your company need foreign currency balance sheet accounts? Yes No
Roughly how many different foreign currencies do you use? 
List the foreign currencies for which you will maintain exchange rates in the system: 
It may be more convenient to enter exchange rates in a currency other than your local currency.
Example: Your local currency is Canadian dollars, but you want to enter USD exchange rates such as DEM/USD, JPY/USD, and USD/CAD.
In which currency do you want to enter exchange rates? Local currency Other currency:

1.2 Units of Measure
Do you use various different units of measure to manage materials in your organization? (e.g. each, pieces, kilos, pounds, gallons, boxes,…) Yes No
List the units of measure you use: 
1.2.1 If you use various units of measure …
Conversion factors for common units of weight, length, area and volume are standard in R/3. (e.g. you may post the receipt of 1 kilo of a material managed in grams, and R/3 will convert into 1000 grams).
Do you want to maintain "company specific" conversion factors between unit of measure?
Example: You purchase some products in cartons of 12, other products in cartons of 1000. When entering goods receipts for these products, you would like to enter the number of cartons, and have R/3 convert automatically into base units of measure. No Yes, we need these "company specific" conversion factors:

1.3 Calendar
Do some parts of your organization – branches, departments, warehouses, production facilities, etc. – observe different public holidays than the rest of your organization (e.g., in one production facility, the day after Thanksgiving is a working day, although everywhere else it is a holiday)? No, the entire organization observes the same holidays Yes, we need  different "holiday calendars" because: 
Are the days of the week that are working days different in some parts of your organization? (e.g. one production facility operates seven days a week; all the others operate Monday through Friday)? No, the entire organization has the same working days Yes, we need  different "factory calendars" because: 
2 Enterprise Structure
2.1 Material Valuation Areas
Is the value of a material the same throughout the company, or can the value of the same material be different in different plants (e.g. the book value of a widget in factory A is $1; in factory B its value is $0.97)? The same materials may have a different value in different parts of the company.
Materials will always have the same value throughout the company.
We will never use product costing in R/3.
We will never use production planning in R/3.
2.2 Plants
The plant is the fundamental organizational entity in R/3 at which materials are managed. In practice, R/3 plants are often used to represent a production facility, a warehouse, or an operating site. Some reasons why plants are important in R/3:
 The quantity of inventory is tracked per plant. (e.g. you may have 10 widgets in plant A and 7 widgets in plant B).
 The value of inventory may be tracked per plant, and the accounts posted to record transactions involving inventory may be different in each plant (e.g. each widget has a book value of $1 in plant A, and $1.07 in plant B).
 Each plant has its own data for a material concerning areas such as purchasing, sales, and production.
 Each plant has its own material requirements planning.
List the different R/3 plants you will need, and describe briefly why each should be a different plant 
2.3 Storage Locations
Each R/3 plant may have several "storage locations" in which the quantities of stocks are tracked (e.g. there are 10 widgets in plant A, 7 in storage location 1, 3 in storage location 2, and non in storage location 3).
List the storage locations each of your plants will need: 
2.4 Purchasing Organizations
List the purchasing departments in your organization: 
Are these departments responsible for all procurement? These departments handle all purchases. Some purchasing is not handled by these departments.
Description: 
2.4.1 Unless one department handles all purchasing…
Which of these departments negotiate pricing terms and conditions with your suppliers? 
Do they do this independently of each other? 
What information do these departments share? 
How do the departments share the task of procuring the goods and services required by your organization (e.g. each production facility responsible for its own procurement, responsibility split by geographical area, segregated by the type of item – manufacturing raw materials versus other items,…)? 
3 Master Data
3.1 Material Types
Which types of materials do you need in your organization:
Finished goods: materials, possibly spare parts / components, which you make and sell.
Semi-finished goods: materials you have made which you will later use to make something else with.
Raw materials: materials you buy which you will use to make something else with.
Packaging materials: raw materials used only for packaging. If you need this material type, explain why you wish to distinguish packaging materials from other raw materials: 
Trading goods: items you buy to later sell without any manufacturing value added.
Non-stocked materials: items which you buy, but do not track in inventory. These materials are charged to the appropriate expense account when purchased, and are not received into stock. They may be delivered to the point of consumption directly.
Non-valuated materials: items you buy, and track only the quantity, but not the value in inventory. These materials are charged to the appropriate expense account when purchased. Once received into stock, inventory transactions (e.g. goods issue 2 pieces) have no impact on accounting.
Service material: TBC obsolete in MM, replaced by service master and MM SRV external service management program. May still be needed for SD to price services rendered to customers.
3.2 Material Groups
In R/3 each material must belong to exactly one material group. Groups are a rough way to classify materials. Among other things, material groups:
 Limit the scope of standard reports and analyses
 Can be used as search criteria
 Can restrict user access to exclude specific groups
Please list the different material groups you will want to use: 
3.3 Classification
Do you want to use a classification system for the materials in your organization? A classification system can be used to find materials with similar characteristics. No Yes
If yes, describe briefly how you intend to classify materials: 
3.4 Material Numbers
When creating new materials, do you want R/3 to automatically assign numbers sequentially to new materials, or will the end user enter the material number? R/3 always assigns new numbers
The user will always provide the number when creating new materials Sometimes R/3 assigns new numbers, sometimes the user enters new numbers.
If material numbers may be assigned by the end user, describe the format: 
Do you need multiple material numbers for the same material (e.g. engineering number, catalogue number for sales, universal product codes, …)? No Yes. Explain: 
3.5 Universal Product Codes (UPC)
Do you or any of your suppliers use Universal Product Codes (also known as EANs) to identify your goods? No Yes
Do you need to look up purchase orders based on UPCs when receiving materials from your suppliers? No Yes

Answer:
Have you looked at the ASAP Database Q&A,
