Course Overview: Main Business Scenario

Your company manufactures order-related products.

You belong to the team in your organization that implements

the part of production planning and control dealing with R/3

production orders. This means implementing the whole

process chain for in-house production, which will allow your

company to organize, steer and execute plant production using

the R/3 System.

Important stages of order-related manufacturing are creation,

release, machine usage, printing of papers, material

withdrawal, execution, confirmation, goods receipt and

settlement.

In practice, these functions are integrated into other areas in

your company (controlling, material management and so on). It

is therefore necessary to consider the extensive integration

relationships during implementation.

Production order management is a central component of a complex process chain that starts with

independent requirements (planned or customer requirements) and ends in the issue of a finished

product.

Production order management in the SAP System only controls the whole process of in-house

production.

Production order management uses the following system components:

ALE, Workflow, Customizing, word processing, factory calendar, classification, communication and

graphics.

Corporate order management is divided into two basic forms: Sales-related orders and company

internal orders.

Within company internal orders, a distinction has to be made between:

Orders purely for object control within cost accounting (for example, for promotional purposes or

for use in trade fairs). Productive and value-added orders that can be activated (for example, for in-

house production on a production line).

In the R/3 System, both basic order forms are assigned to SAP applications via order category.

Examples: Production order (PPS) -> PP Production Planning

Plant maintenance order -> PM Plant Maintenance

Network -> PS Project System

Overhead cost order -> CO Controlling

Capital investment order -> CO Controlling

The document type is used to differentiate between business transactions in the R/3 System.

Orders are one category of business transaction.

Orders are divided up according to order category, as it is possible to have different orders within the

different applications.

The system predefines fixed order categories for each application.

You have the option of individually defining order categories for each order type within an application.

An order type is used to control different processes:

Number assignment

Setting default values

User-specified status management

User-specific field control (not for production orders in Release 4.7)

Control of special functions (activating BDE, QM, LIS,....)

You define the settings for this in Customizing.

The material to be produced must have already been designated procurement type in house production

(X,E).

The material status must be released for production on both a cross-plant level (MARA) and a plant

level (MARC).

At least one plant specific view (MRP and/or work scheduling) as well as financial accounting and

costing views must be maintained for the material.

You prepare BOMs as single level BOMs. A special selection procedure chooses the correct BOM.

After you have prepared a routing, a special selection procedure chooses the correct one.

Order-Related Production - Roles

Within the development of the SAP product "mySAP.com", computer-supported work centers have

been created along the entire process chain for order-related production.

Production order management touches on at least those roles shown on the slide.

Individual roles are assigned different activities (tasks), authorizations and responsibilities that

correspond to the actual daily work carried out in practice.

The slide shows the most frequently used pushbuttons (symbols) in the production order.

The symbols have been arranged on the individual production order screens in such a way that you can

always find the relevant symbol in the same place on the screen.

Order functions are arranged on the left and navigation functions on the right.

In the overviews of the operations, components and production resources/tools, the relevant pushbuttons

for the individual object have been arranged underneath the overview.

Where it was considered appropriate, pushbuttons were placed directly next to a data field.

You have gained an overview of the process chain for

order-related production and the role it plays in the R/3

System.

You have learned about the prerequisites for master data.

You have been informed about the role of order

management in the organization structures of the R/3

System.

The orders are assigned to an application using the order

category. This determines the scope of the functions.

The order types serve as a control for special functions

per order category.

Other sequences

The order structure can be enhanced by adding certain elements.

At least one operation is required. The system automatically creates this operation when missing.

You have the choice of whether or not to assign material components, production resources / tools

and trigger points to the operation.

You can create several (parallel) operation sequences.

You can make a selection from several alternative sequences.

Suboperations are permitted within an operation.

Costs are determined at operation level and submitted at order header level only in the case of order-

related cost object controlling.


The segment of the order header describes the product that is to be manufactured with the production

order (finished product, assembly, individual part).

There are a series of detail screens for the order header.

The header text of a production order can either be the short text of the material master or the header

text of the routing that has been copied into the production order (with reference to this, see the switch

in table T399X).


This segment of the operation describes the individual work steps of the production order.

There are a series of detail screens for an operation.

These screens, in turn, incorporate further detail screens.

For example, you can branch from the component overview to screens for each material component.

You have the option of inserting suboperations hierarchically with reference to an operation.

This enhances calculation and capacity planning.

The operation control key of the sub-operation plays an important role in this.

Scheduling always occurs at operation level.

The standard values of the suboperations can be cumulated on the corresponding operation when the

dimension and units of measurement are the same.

It is not possible to assign material components or production resources / tools to sub-operations.


In a production order, you can assign any number of material components to an operation.

The segment for the material component describes the material required to carry out the individual

operations.

There are a series of single screens for a material component.


In a production order, you can assign any number of production resources/tools to an operation.

The segment for production resources/tools describes the required devices, tools, test equipment and so

on required for executing an individual operation.

The production resources/tools category is essentially derived from the demands on a production

resource/tool and its relationship to a certain object (material, equipment and so on).


You can assign any number of documents to a production order. These are maintained in the

Document Management System (DMS).

The documents themselves are only linked to the production order and not saved in it.

You can create links from documents to a production order manually or automatically.

Documents can be drawings, texts, videos and so on.

Application example: Product descriptions

Assembly instructions and diagrams

Inspection instructions and certificates

Work instructions

Storage and transportation regulations

Spare parts lists

Maintenance regulations

(C) SAP AG LO215 3-10

If order-related cost object controlling is used, each individual production order has a cost object

(CO).

Order costs can be calculated manually or automatically.

You define this by setting up the order-type dependent parameters accordingly in Customizing (table

T399X).

The CO object enables you to display different lists of costs for a production order.

By choosing Goto + Costs in an order, you can find lists for the terms

Itemization (detailed overview of the individual costing items)

Analysis (overview structured according to cost category)

Cost component structure (overview structured according to arithmetical cost components)

(C) SAP AG LO215 3-11

You control order settlement by way of settlement rules.

The order can be settled proportionally to one or more receivers.

Settlement rules are created manually or automatically (during order creation).

At the latest, they must be maintained before the goods receipts posting is carried out for the material to

be produced.

You define the settings for order settlement in Customizing.

If you use product-related cost object controlling, the settlement rules are contained in the product

cost collector and not in the production order.

The production order runs through a wide range of individual activities.

WIP calculation, variance calculation and settlement are generally periodic operations for cost

object controlling that are processed in the background.

You must define a series of settings for each individual stage if an order is to be processed successfully.

CO Configuration includes a special feature that sets the prerequisites for WIP determination, variance

calculation and settlement.

Various functions (1)(1)

The production order can be generated automatically (confirmation, sales order) or manually (directly)

by converting it from a planned order.

A start / finish date is entered for the order item (product) according to the scheduling type (forwards or

backwards) .

Lead time scheduling is executed automatically. It calculates the start / finish dates of the order and the

detailed dates and capacity requirements of the operations.

You also have the option of carrying out an availability check (specifiable in Customizing).

You can determine the planned costs when saving the order (specifiable in Customizing).

((11)) Other functions that can be executed automatically are:

Batch creation, determination, order classification, serial number assignment, document integration.

PRT management

When you create a production order, a series of additional posting procedures occur at the time of

posting (the data is already formatted online).

These automatically generate the required data for stored parts of the system.

Material reservations are generated for all warehouse components. You can choose whether these

reservations are to be immediately relevant to MRP or not until the time of release (indicator in the

order-type dependent parameters T399X)

Purchase requisitions are created for non-warehouse components and externally processed operations.

Costs are determined when you save.

Transport requirements are generated when the operation is released.

PRT requirements are only generated internally. At the present time, however, there is no

requirements planning for PRTs which works with these records.

Transaction CF21 (using PRT in orders) is available for evaluating PRT requirements in production

orders.

Missing parts records are written for missing parts.


There are numerous possibilities for creating production orders.

Scheduling in Production Planning

Production planning has two scheduling methods that are used differently and have different results:

Scheduling of planned orders in material requirements planning (calculates the basic dates only)

Lead time scheduling (starts from the basic dates and calculates the production dates)

Only lead time scheduling calculates operation-related dates and capacity requirements.

Lead time scheduling is the basis for

Order scheduling

Routing scheduling

Scheduling in applications PS, PM, PI

In addition, lead time scheduling can be activated in material requirements planning in order to

determine capacity requirements for planned orders.

Float times for order/operation

Scheduling/Time Elements of an Order

The slide shows all possible elements of the total lead time of a production order.

There are two order float times, which serve different purposes.

Float before production - Postponement of dates, capacity planning

Float after production - Absorbs any delays

The order float can be predefined using a scheduling margin key (order header screen).

This key is entered in the material master and maintained in Customizing for Shop Floor Control by

choosing "Scheduling".

The duration of an operation is made up of a maximum of five time elements.

Queue

time

Setup

time

Processing time

Teardown

Minimum wait time

The duration of the move time is the time between two operations but it is assigned to the preceding

operation.

If a production order is being used to carry out production for a sales order (for example, assembly of a

finished product), then other time segments that are relevant to sales have to be added to these.

A number range group must be specified for each predefined number range. You can create an

unlimited amount of number range groups.

The order categories can be assigned to any of the number range groups. The system does not allow

multiple assignment.

The current status of the internal number assignment can be changed manually provided that the

"ProdVersion" indicator

During automatic selection, the alternative selection indicator in the material master (MRP screen 4)

determines how selection is carried out.

Note the following special features:

IND = Blank

Using the selection ID from table T399X, the system searches the sequence of priorities contained in

table TCA43 for the first available routing that fulfills the criteria: lot size and task list category, usage

and status.

IND = 1

Same as for "blank".

IND = 2

The system searches the material master for production versions that fit the lot size.

If only one exists, then its routing is checked against all criteria (also those contained in TCA43!). If

there are more than one, table T399X decides (production version indicator) whether the user (dialog

box) or the system (automatic) determines which production version is to be selected.

If, despite this, no valid routing is found, the system does not stop.

The system carries on searching using the procedure for when the indicator is "blank".

IND = 3

Same as for value = 2. If no valid routing is found in this case, the system stops the search!

No production order is created.

Selection according to production version presupposes that valid production versions have been

maintained in the material master.

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-13

If you create a routing for a sales order, then this is used independent of the other selection criteria.

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-14

BOMs contain the material structure and required quantities of the individual components for a

product. The required quantities are not dependent on the order.

BOM data is copied to the production order. Subsequent changes you make to the BOM do not take

effect on orders that already exist.

When you create an order, a BOM is chosen on the basis of the corresponding selection criteria.

The BOM is exploded on one level.

An exception to this is multi-level BOM explosion for so-called phantom assemblies.

Subitems are not copied to the order.

During automatic selection, the alternative selection indicator in the material master (MRP screen 4)

determines the selection procedure.

Note the following special features:

IND = Blank

The system takes the BOM usage that is defined for each order type from table T399X, enters table

TC04 with this and takes a selection ID from this table. The system uses this selection ID and

searches the sequence of priorities contained in table TCS41 for the first available BOM that fulfills

the lot size and BOM usage criteria.

IND = 1

Selection according to date requires that an entry is maintained in Customizing for the material

(T415A alternative selection multiple BOM).

IND = 2

The system searches the material master for production versions that fit the lot size.

If only one exists, then its BOM is checked against all criteria (also those contained in TCS41!). If

there are more than one, table T399X decides (production version indicator) whether the user

(dialog box) or the system (automatic) determines which production version is to be selected. If,

despite this, no valid BOM is found, the system does not stop.

The system carries on searching using the procedure for when the indicator is "blank".

IND = 3

Same as for value = 2. If no valid BOM is found in this case, the system stops searching!

The production order has no components.

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-17

Selection according to production version presupposes that valid production versions have been

maintained in the material master.

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-18

Item categories control the data scope and functions of a material component.

Typical examples are:

Stock item

Non-stock item

Variable-size item

Text item

Class item

You cannot make alterations to item categories once they have been set.

Follow-on documents are generated with the production order according to item category.

Components with the item category "non-stock item" automatically generate a purchase requisition.

This can be displayed for an item via a further screen.

The class item stands for a wide variety of different materials. When you enter the command "find

object function for class", the system can specify the class item in a particular stock item.

The "document item" is transferred to the document list of the production order (document link)

The system generates material reservations for all material components of a production order of the type

"stock material".

Reservations are taken into account when determining the conditions for material requirements planning.

Reservations are also taken into account when creating goods movements for components of the

production order.

A reservation item applies to a plant or a plant's storage location.

A requirements date is defined by the order for each item. You can control whether goods movements

are allowed for the reservation item by means of an indicator.

The reservations for material components of the production order are assigned to this production order.

You can compile lists of reservations for the material or account assignment (production order).

Routing BOM

You can assign material components to operations both when managing BOMs and routings.

The assignment of material components to operations is copied to the production order.

If no assignments are maintained, then the system automatically assigns the BOM material

components to the leading operation.

When you display the material components overview, you can assign material components to

individual operations and display material components. The material components list can be sorted and

filtered according to various criteria in order to enhance this overview.

Other functions include:

Assigning, reassigning and deleting material assignments. Navigating between operations

You are able to reassign materials up to the point of order release.

You can assign any number of documents to a production order. These are maintained in the

Document Management System (DMS).

Documents can be drawings, texts, videos and so on.

The documents themselves are only linked to the production order and not saved in it.

You can create links from documents to a production order manually or automatically.

Automatic linking of documents takes place during order creation or release. The document items are

copied from the BOM, the production version or from the document link to the material master of

the product to be manufactured.

(This must be activated in the production scheduling profile - Customizing for Shop Floor Control)

Document links in the production order created in this way can be displayed, changed, deleted, printed

(separate list), archived and displayed in the product structure browser.

Original documents cannot be printed out.

All document types that you use must be permitted for object PORDER (production order), work with

status management and must be released. (See Customizing for the Document Management System).

Examples, see above:

Document 1 Link copied from material master

Document 2 Link created manually

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-23

Alternative and parallel operation sequences are possible in production orders.

The alternative sequence gives you the option of choosing alternative operations for a sequence of

operations.

The parallel sequence enables you to process operations parallel to and independent of other operations.

You can copy both sequence types in an order from a routing (via Customizing).

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-24

Alternative sequences are linked to the standard sequence.

An alternative sequence can be created automatically when you create a production order or read the

master data.

You can use the "exchange sequences" function to replace alternative sequences with a different

sequence.

This exchange is possible as long as certain functions have not yet been executed.

For example, material withdrawals, confirmations, purchase orders.

A switch is only possible if:

The standard sequence has branch and return operations

The operation numbers are within the standard sequence range

There is no overlap with other alternative sequences.

Application:

Changed work procedures with different lot sizes and capacity bottlenecks

(external processing).

Alternative and parallel operation sequences are possible in production orders.

The parallel sequence enables you to process operations parallel to and independent of other operations.

You can copy both sequence types in an order from a routing (via Customizing).

Parallel sequences are linked to the standard sequence through predecessor / successor

relationships.

Parallel sequences are a special form of overlapping operations.

Parallel sequences create network-like structures.

Order scheduling inserts operation floats according to the alignment key specifications.

Applications:

In mechanical engineering for assemblies involving the production of individual components, inspection

processes, and preparatory and closing operations. In the chemical industry for analysis processes that

are carried out in parallel to the production process.

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-26

You can use the function "Read PP master data" to switch the originally copied routing 1 and / or

BOM 1 with a different routing and / or BOM alternative 2.

This exchange is possible as long as certain functions have not yet been executed.

For example, material withdrawals, confirmations, purchase orders.

Assignments of components (BOMs) and production resources/tools are retained, provided that the

corresponding operation still exists.

This function can also be used for collective orders (refer to the "Collective Orders" unit)

Order Change Management (OCM)

Aims of change management for production orders

Provision of a system-supported tool for automated change of production

orders which are already being used in the production process.

The changes concerned can be triggered by changes in sales orders and/or

master data

When are the OCM tools needed?

Production orders are already being used in the production process and have

been worked on

Customers change their order

Engineering or technological changes are necessary

Mass orders are affected by changes (for example, collective orders)

Who needs the OCM tools?

If you wish to change orders already being used in production and the options provided by the "Read

PP master data" function do not suffice, you can use Order Change Management for production

orders (OCM) (as of Release 4.5).

The R/3 change management function enables the user to make changes that are coordinated

throughout the order process, in terms of content and dates, to one or more objects (product master

data and documents from business transactions currently in process).

Change management differentiates between:

ECH = Engineering Change Management OCM = Order

Change Management

ECH concentrates on the preparation and execution of changes to product master data.

OCM concentrates on the exection of changes to production orders that are already being used in the

production process (and on finding planned orders or purchase orders that are affected by these

changes).

The changes in OCM are based on changes from the area of product master data (ECH), as well as

certain changes from sales orders (SD).

You cannot carry out automatic unchecked changes to production orders that are currently being used

in the production process (for example, material consumption has been posted, order is partially

confirmed,...). This is why the R/3 system provides functions for the controlled change of orders.

Change management for production orders (OCM) is dealt with in detail in course LO980.

Planned orders are created via Material requirements planning (MRP).

Creating production orders from planned orders is the most important function of the whole PP

application.

When you create a production order from a planned order, the system automatically supplies the

production order data.

When an inspection lot is generated, the inspection data is copied from the routing but not written to

the production order.

Net change planning

Regenerative planning

Material requirements planning is executed at the level of the MRP area (plant, warehouse, ...).

Regenerative planning means that you plan all materials from the planning file.

Net change planning means that you can only plan materials which are already entered in the

planning file and have therefore undergone a change relevant to MRP.

Planning file entries can be generated either automatically or manually.

Net change planning in the short-term planning horizon means that you can only plan materials that

have already undergone a change relevant to MRP within a restricted planning horizon. You can only

generate order proposals within the planning horizon.

Planning can either be carried out online or in the background.

Material requirements planning (MRP) is dealt with in detail in course LO210.

Requirements planning covers a whole product structure. It runs in the following steps for each

material.

Checking the requirements coverage.

Generating the planned order.

Determining the dependent requirements.

Entering the components into the planning file.

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-32

An important result of material requirements planning is the MRP list.

An MRP list is created for each MRP related material.

Current stock and requirement situations are displayed as of the last planning run.

The MRP list is subdivided according to different planning segments.

Changes made between two planning runs are not displayed.

Error messages are copied to a log.

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-33

A further result of material requirements planning is the current stock / requirements list.

This list displays the current and therefore up-to-the-minute stock / requirements situation.

You can generate the list dynamically by directly reading the MRP elements.

From this list, individual planned orders can be converted to production orders.

(C) SAP AG LO215 4-34

You can convert planned orders online either individually, collectively, completely or partially.

You can convert planned orders in the background using the program PPBICO40.

Planned orders consist of a planned order start date (PS), a planned order finish date (PL) and a planned

order opening date (PE).

When the planned order opening date is reached, you should convert the planned order into a

production order or a purchase requisition.

When you convert a planned order into a production order, the planned order is deleted.

The system reassigns the dependent requirements (material components) and any existing capacity

requirements to the newly created production order.

By changing an indicator, the dependent requirements can then be turned into a reservation.

When a planned order is only partially converted, it remains intact and is fixed.

You can perform a collective conversion that is dependent on the outcome of a material availability

check (analogous to the order release).

The MRP controller uses the "collective conversion" function to convert the planned orders of a

product structure falling within a set time period.

In the framework of an entire product structure, the system will only convert those planned orders

whose planned order opening dates are within a defined opening period.

You can predefine the size of the opening period with reference to the current date in User Parameters

(AEV, AEB).

This procedure is particularly suited to deterministic make-to-stock production.

An order progress report is available in Release 4.5. It enables you to clearly chart the progress of all

business transactions (in-house production and external procurement) that are required when carrying

out a sales order or project, and to process them.

Using this report, you can convert planned orders into production orders or purchase requisitions

with the order structure in front of you.

This procedure is particularly suited to make-to-order production.

Instead of R/3 requirements planning (MRP), you can use the new SAP product: Advanced Planner

and Optimizer (APO). This product is one of the SAP New Dimension products.

APO enables a general, comprehensive portrayal, planning and monitoring of all processes in the

logistics chain, right down to a detailed level.

Open standard interfaces permit seamless integration of SAP Systems (highly-integrated solution for

R/3), old systems and systems from external providers.

LiveCache, an SAP technology for processing data in the memory, gives APO its high performance

level.

APO is an absolute planning machine.

Inventory management, sales order creation and order execution and control (Manufacturing Execution)

are carried out outside of APO, for example in the R/3 System.

Orders (planned, production or process) can be created and changed as the result of planning with APO.

APO and R/3 are connected by the APO Core Interface (CIF)

Data is kept consistent on both sides (APO and R/3).

Planning with APO is dealt with in detail in courses AP010 to AP230.

Unit: Order Creation /

Order Change

Topic: Creating an order without basic data

(LO215 Exercise 2)

• Learn about the dialog for creating and changing a production

order.

As production manager, production scheduler or supervisor, from

time to time you must create production orders for which there is

no master data (routing, BOM).

This is particularly the case if production has to carry out

unplanned work, special requests and other tasks.

In this exercise, you will become familiar with the dialog for

creating or changing a production order.

Order Change

Topic: Creating an Order with Basic Data

(LO215 Exercise 3)

• Routing and BOM selection

• Production versions in a production order

• Reading master data

As production manager, production scheduler or supervisor, as a

rule, you create production orders on the basis of master data

(routings, BOMs), which has been created and is maintained in

the areas of engineering and work scheduling in your company.

This is particularly the case when the production of materials and

activities is of a repetitive nature.

In this exercise you become acquainted with the way in which the

SAP System searches for and selects the master data that is valid

for a production order.

Topic: Order Creation with Planned Orders

(LO215 Exercise 4)

• Creation of independent requirements

• Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

• Conversion of planned orders into production orders

• Partial conversion of planned orders

• Background processing for planned order conversion

Your company consistently uses automatic requirements planning

in the SAP System.

As production manager, MRP controller or production scheduler,

you therefore create large numbers of production orders based on

planned orders that have been created automatically during the

planning run.

In this exercise you create planned orders and convert them (in

various ways) to production orders.

3-1 In this first step in the exercise, you set up the user interface and functions of the

stock/requirements list for the steps to follow.

The stock/requirements list is a very important tool in the

SAP System for the daily work of the MRP controller and

production scheduler.

Production orders are managed using statuses.

The corresponding status is set when the order is released.

An availability check can be carried out automatically.

Single operations, entire orders or several orders can be released simultaneously.

There is a corresponding function available for the mass release of operations or orders (refer to the

unit "Mass Processing and Automation")

A status can allow, allow with warning or disallow business transactions.

A system status is set or deleted by a transactions in relation to an object.

System statuses can neither be set nor deleted by a user status.

Status management is used similarly in many different applications (CO internal orders, maintenance

orders, PS networks and so on).

Statuses always refer to a status object (order header, order operation, production resource / tool,

component).

It is possible to log changes in status (see creation of change documents for order category)

System control can be practically enhanced using the user status.

There are various transactions for status maintenance:

BS02 Status profile (user status)

BS12 Object type (only for SAP)

BS22 System status (only for SAP)

BS32 Business transactions (only for SAP)


User statuses enhance the system's status management capabilities.

You can prepare user statuses in Customizing.


Availability checks are controlled using multi-part validation rules.

You need to define validation rules for the individual applications (requirements planning, sales and

distribution order management and so on). This must be done in Customizing.

Validation rules incorporate various elements:

Checking group Assignment in the material master (MRP data screen 3)

Checking rule Assignment to the order type

Checking scope Defining the checking details for each checking rule and checking

A dynamic check of all receipt and issue elements is carried out.

Checking procedure: calculation of the ATP quantities (ATP = Available to promise).

Checking period: the whole time period. It can, however, be limited to the total replenishment lead

time (material master).

On the basis of the ATP quantity, the MRP controller can determine whether all issues are covered by

the production plan and which part of the warehouse stock or master production schedule is still

available for new issues.

Planned independent requirements are not taken into account when capacity leveling is performed.

(LO215 Exercise 6)

• Availability check

• Status Management

• Release of individual operations and orders

• Mass release

As production manager or production scheduler, you must release

production orders so that material preparation, printing of shop

floor papers and production itself can begin.

As a rule, you use the mass release function to do this.

In exceptional cases, you release individual orders (operations).

Before release, you should execute availability checks (material,

capacity, PRT) to ensure that production can proceed without any

problems.

You can control printing in different ways:

during processing of the production order

using a program (job)using a mass processing function (see the corresponding unit)

Two programs are available to you for background processing:

Printing flagged orders (PPPRBTCH)

(*) Selecting and printing orders (PPPRBSEL)

Print formatting is carried out by ABAP reports from the internal buffer tables (ITAB).

You predefine the layout sets for the individual documents using SAPSCRIPT (layout set PSFC).

SAPSCRIPT provides two editors (graphical and alphanumerical) for designing the forms

The documentation for the Form Painter is in the SAP library (online documentation). Choose BASIS

COMPONENTS -> BASIS SERVICES/COMMUNICATION INTERFACES -> SAPscript -> STYLE

AND FORM MAINTENANCE -> DESIGN TOOLS.

Print documents can be triggered automatically upon release via the production scheduling profile.

(*) No longer to be found in the menu, because mass processing is provided.

The system differentiates between two print modes: original print and reprint

Original printing an order prints all released operations and their objects (material components, PRT

and so on).

If an order has already been partially printed, original printing automatically prints only those

objects of the order that have not already been printed.

Reprinting an order reprints all operations that have previously been printed.

You can maintain the settings in Customizing.

The settings marked "x" are dependent on plant and therefore need to be taken into account when the

system is installed.

You can mask the key to the table settings (exceptions: print variants and reference document type).

You can condense numerous external order types into a single internal order type using a reference

order type to enable joint control of order types (reports, layout sets, transactions and output devices).

Some changes to settings can be made even upon printing.

The Customizing settings that are valid for a user and a transaction can be controlled using a report.


The operation control key determines the printing output of an operation.

You can deactivate operation control checking in Customizing.

Operations are only printed as time tickets when:

the number of time tickets > 0

the operation control key time ticket = '✓'


Confirmation slips are generated for operations whose operation control key has been set to

confirmation = '1' , '2' or ' ' and confirmation print = '✓' is selected

▪ Checking print control

• Printing order papers

As production scheduler, you give the work list to the work

center in the area that you are responsible for. If the work list is to

be given to the employees in the form of printed order papers,

then you must use the printing functions of the SAP System.

The order papers are often created in the form of a mass print job

that is processed in the background. This is usually carried out at

night for the following day. If necessary, however, you must also

print or reprint individual papers.

The R/3 System has various procedures for controlling material staging. These are

a) Warehouse management with the component MM-IM (Inventory Management)

b) Replenishment control with the Kanban component

c) Storage location management and replenishment control with the component MM-WM

(Warehouse Management System)

The Warehouse Managment System has three options, which are described below:

Pick list items are provided for the production order in exactly the same quantity as the

requirements quantity. These parts can be provided for the production order at a physical storage

location or dynamic storage location (production order).

With this type of material staging, you can create transfer requirements in two ways:

- automatically when an operation is released

- manually

Typical examples are large, expensive parts such as shafts, housings, .....

Crate parts are requested manually when a crate is almost empty.

Typical examples are small parts in containers such as screws, nails, .....

Release order parts are requested manually. The required quantity is calculated using the target

quantities of the components in the selected released orders. Thereby, the stock situation is taken into

account in the production and the replenishment storage types.

Typical examples are laminates, paints, ...

Each material component in a production order can be assigned a default issuing storage location (at

the point of order creation).

This default enables automatic withdrawal postings (for example, backflushing).

There are numerous options for the default (work center, bill of material, material master, production

version).

If the default is to occur via a production version, additional steps must be carried out, as described

on the following slide.

If materials are to be picked from a Warehouse Management storage bin, additional measures must

be taken, as described on the next slide but one.

Using notes 123580 and 126881, the procedure pictured above (standard) can be changed by modifying

its order of priority.

If a storage location has not been found either via the work center, BOM item or material master,

then the MRP group of the product defines whether the issuing storage location is used from the

production version of the product in a production order or from the storage location in the material

master of the component ("Issue storage location selection" field).

This field can be defined for each MRP group in Customizing for Material Requirements Planning.

Storage location selection = blank or 1: Issue storage location in the material master of the component

is proposed as the issuing storage location (leads to no storage location default in the production order,

see above!)

Storage location selection = 2: For all components, the default issuing storage location is the one

contained in the production version of the production order (see material master of the manufactured

product). If this issuing storage location is not maintained in the production version, the system adopts

the receiving storage location as the issuing storage location. This can be defined in the production

version of the assembly in the Receiving SLoc field or in the material master of the assembly in the

Issue storage location field.

You should use this type of selection if all components are stored together near the production line,

where they are required.

If the stocks of the material components are managed at storage bin level using the Warehouse

Management System, other requirements have to be fulfilled.

The SAP modules KANBAN and Warehouse Management (WM) are responsible for these required

measures.

Once all settings have been fixed, WM staging can be triggered directly from the production order.

This necessitates transfer requirements or transfer orders for the WM System.

You can reduce the reservation (for planned withdrawals).

Only costs are updated for unplanned withdrawals.

You can determine actual costs (valuation) and update the order.

You give material consumption a value in Customizing using a valuation variant specific to plant or

company code.

Material, accounting and controlling documents are generated for a goods movement.

The material document describes the goods movement from a materials management (warehouse)

perspective.

The accounting document describes the goods movement from a financial accounting perspective. An

accounting document is always related to a company code. You can create one, several or indeed no

accounting documents for a goods movement.

Displaying a material document enables you to access and display other documents.

You have the possibility of printing a goods issue document.

(C) SAP AG LO215 7-17

A materiel component withdrawal can be posted automatically (backflushing), synchronously or

asynchronously when an operation is confirmed.

You should always use backflushing when you do not want to stage materials from the warehouse for a

specific order.

During backflushing it is presumed that the material is prepared at the work center.

Application areas:

flow and assembly lines

less valuable materials

You can control backflushing in the material master. This can be done according to work center or for

each BOM component assignment to an operation.

You must rework unsuccessful withdrawal postings (stock = 0).

Batch determination can be activated at the point when the backflush posting of the material

withdrawal is carried out.

If, for organizational reasons, the goods issue is generated before the corresponding goods receipt and

the material already physically exists in the warehouse, two paths are open to you.

These are either the function reworking of unsuccessful material withdrawals or negative stocks.

It is possible to have negative stocks for standard priced materials in the inventory management.

When you are working with negative stocks, you must make sure that:

You have no negative stocks on the balance sheet key date and at the time of taking physical

inventory.

When you run the month end closing program no negative stocks still remain from the previous

month.

You set the indicator determining the permissibility of negative stocks in the material master (storage

screen 2).

• Pick material or organize replenishment

• Withdraw material from the warehouse for production orders

• Post over-withdrawals and under-withdrawals

Material components must be made available for production at

the correct time and in the correct quantity. To achieve this end,

you take the material withdrawal slip, enter the proposed

warehouse and withdraw the material.

Another option is that the material is brought to you

automatically or by a transport team.

The procedure for material withdrawal postings is, however, the

same.

Using the order information system

Medium-term capacity planning has already occurred

The capacity planning functions of the R/3 System put extensive planning options at your disposal.

The applications of the order information system enable you to compile lists of operations for each

individual work center. In addition, a special profile can be compiled in Customizing.


You can use the capacity planning table to plan machine commitment.

You can use control profiles to plan production orders in great detail.

There are different strategies available for dispatching the operations.

Dispatching dates are the start dates for finite scheduling.

They can be specified:

directly as a manual entry.

- by copying the scheduled operation dates (lead time scheduling of the production order).

- by drag and drop (mouse-controlled).

There are different strategies available for minimizing the setup times.

They are all based on a setup time matrix.

Finite scheduling is a special type of lead time scheduling with a capacity availability check.

Only those operations whose work centers have the "relevant for finite scheduling" indicator are

included in finite scheduling.

A work center's capacity load can be greater than 100 % ("overload" indicator in the work center).

DSPT

A dispatched operation is given the status DSPT and the internal indicator "Capacity is available"

If only one operation is dispatched, then all preceding operations are scheduled backwards and all

subsequent operations are scheduled forwards.

If more that one operation is dispatched, then the scheduling direction between the two dispatched

operations depends on the scheduling direction chosen during the lead time scheduling.


You can split production orders that have already begun to be used in the production process into

separate production orders. You must define from which operation the orders are to be split.

This function should then be used, if

Material components are only partly available

A work center has a capacity shortage

A partial quantity has been produced and the remaining quantity is to be produced at a later date

You control the function by selecting an operation in the operation overview and choosing

FUNCTIONS -> SPLIT ORDER

The original order is described as the parent order and the orders that are split off from this order are

called the child orders.

The orders are identified by the SPLT status (parent) and the SPLE status (child).

You can carry out multiple splitting.

All production orders must be (and are) created with reference to the same product cost controller

(that is, the function can only be used with a product cost collector!)

Serial numbers can be assigned to the split orders.

Restrictions: Reading PP master data is not possible

No change of material (product) is possible between the parent and child order

Only operation confirmations can be carried out

The capacity in the work center can be subdivided according to the capacity category (machine,

personnel). That is, elements can be assigned to the capacity.

The assignment options are dependent on the capacity category.

Subdividing in this way means that an operation (or, more precisely, its capacity requirement) can be

directly assigned to the relevant machine and / or person.

You can only make assignments to people, qualifications, and positions if the SAP Human Resources

System (HR) is active.

You have the option of several types of splits.

You can split the quantity or the standard values of the capacity requirements (or split both, if

necessary).

Quantity splits are useful if partial quantities of the order are to be processed by several individual

capacities at the same time or if they are to be processed at different times and gaps exist between

them.

Standard value splits are useful if an operation is divided into two or more partial tasks (work

steps) that are carried out by different individual capacities at the same time and for the total quantity.

You can split the quantity as well as the standard values.

PDC interfaces (Plant Data Collection) are used to transfer data between R/3 and subsystems.

The PP-PDC interface is the interface that has been designed especially for production control.

Starting from Release 3.0A, this interface was called Communication Channel 2 (CC2). (This will

only be maintained for two more main releases)

As of Release 4.6A, this interface is implemented as an asynchronous SAP R/3 BAPI interface and is

called the PP-PDC interface.

Subsystems can receive certification from SAP (Complementary Software Program).

• Machine usage list with order information system

• Machine usage with planning table

• Order split

As production manager or production scheduler, you are

responsible for the continual utilization of the work centers in

your area for the days to come (hours or weeks). In this process,

the orders should always be assigned to each work center in an

appropriate sequence (often one that optimizes setup).

For each work center and time period, the scope of the work that

you assign should not be too large or too small. Both of these

would have a negative effect on the employees in your area.

The SAP System provides you with several options for carrying

out this task.

SAP AG 1999


Order confirmation is used to enter internal activities generated for the order.

The work progress of a production order can be measured based on order confirmations.

Confirmations from PDC systems are possible, using the PP-PDC interface (see previous unit).


Order confirmation is the confirmation of the entire order at order header level and .

An operation confirmation allows you to confirm an order step by step.

For this type of confirmation, there are various procedures available.

The procedures must be selected to suit the methods of organization within your company and the

allowed workload.

You can only carry out a confirmation for an order if no confirmations have already been entered for

the operations.

You can follow a confirmation with an automatic goods receipt. Control is then maintained using the

operation control key or the production scheduling profile.

A material overview enables you to correct backflushing for postable material withdrawals or to enter

any number of unplanned goods movements.

There are a whole range of Business Application Interfaces (BAPI) available, which can be used to

enhance the standard confirmations to suit specific users.


Confirmations are controlled by confirmation parameters (refer to the next slide).

Each operation is automatically given a confirmation number when the order is created.

You can then clearly identify it without having to enter any other data.

Each operation contains an operation control key. This defines whether the operation requires

confirmation.

An operation can be marked as a milestone. This means that when the milestone operation is confirmed,

the operations that precede it are also confirmed with proportional quantities.

An operation that is to be confirmed must first be released.

You must also enter the reasons for variance.

The reasons for variance can trigger statuses that, in turn, control trigger points.

Field Groups for Single Screen Entry

Personnel data

Quantities

Activities

Dates

Quality checks

Comments

As of Release 4.6, the normal time ticket confirmation of an operation is generally entered on one

screen (single screen entry).

As a result, the system no longer offers a selection screen (order or operation selection).

The data that is to be confirmed is distributed between the different field groups on this screen.

The field groups can be set up in different ways in Customizing and they can be expanded or collapsed

in the actual confirmation.

You can greatly influence confirmations by means of field selection control in Customizing (hiding

entries, highlighting entries, mandatory and optional fields).

You can use customer enhancement CONFPP07 to create and insert your own detail screens.

The transaction that was used up to now, CO11, is still available but is not included in the menu.

In order to facilitate the confirmation, you can allow the system to propose the yield to be confirmed.

You are also required to enter the settings in the fixed parameters (Customizing) for confirmation

control.

The system takes several factors into account when determining the yield.

Rework operations are then subject to special treatment (see documentation).

Remaining capacity requirements are calculated according to either the standard values for each type

of activity or an explicitly confirmed estimated standard value (forecast screen).

The system sets the standard value for setup to zero when the first partial confirmation is executed.

You can only set all other remaining capacity requirements to zero by setting the remaining quantity or

forecast value to zero.

confirmations

Normal, milestone and progress confirmations can be used in combination. (It is, however, advisable

to decide on one type of confirmation)

Orders confirmed using progress confirmation react in the same way as if confirmed by a milestone

confirmation. They confirm the preceding operations.

However, quantity calculation functions differently using progress confirmation. Each confirmed

quantity is considered a total quantity.

You are no longer able to work on operations using progress confirmation if they have already been

partially confirmed using normal confirmation. You are therefore also unable to confirm them.

You must at least partially confirm milestone operations that have an impending confirmation time.

Disciplined, real-time confirmations are a fundamental

requirement for checking the progress of production and for

correct capacity planning.

As supervisor or production operator, you are responsible for

entering confirmations.

You either use confirmation slips to do this, or enter the

confirmations directly onto a PDC terminal (or PC), without any

paperwork.

The SAP System provides you with various options for carrying

out this work and one of these has already been selected for use

in your company.

Overdelivery

When dealing with a goods receipt relating to a production order, the system proposes the open order

quantity for the goods receipt. You have the option of changing this quantity if it does not correspond

with the delivered quantity.

When a goods receipt item is created, the goods receipt quantity is compared with the open order

quantity. The system is then able to specify whether underdelivery or overdelivery will occur.

Underdeliveries are generally permitted in the standard system. It is also possible to set a percentage

underdelivery tolerance within the order. A goods receipt quantity smaller than the sum of the order

quantity minus the underdelivery tolerance is interpreted as a partial delivery and accepted by the

system. The system alerts the user to the underdelivery and takes the underdelivery tolerance into

account in the online message.

Overdeliveries are not permitted in the standard system. If overdeliveries are to be allowed, then you

can define a percentage overdelivery tolerance in the order. The over-delivery tolerance check can be

deactivated in the order. Unlimited overdelivery is then possible.

(C) SAP AG LO215 10-8

You are able to post inward movements from production to the stock in quality inspection in the

following example cases:

1. The material is in principle subject to a quality inspection before further usage. The employee

responsible for data in the material master sets the indicator for the quality inspection in the material

master. The indicator is copied to the material master when the order is created.

2. If the material comes from a specific production order, then it should undergo a quality inspection

before anything else. This is for example the case when you are dealing with an important order and it

is imperative that the quality of the product be checked. The work scheduler then sets the quality

inspection indicator in the goods receipt data of the order.

3. You decide whether the material must undergo a quality inspection or not at the point of goods

receipt. You set the quality inspection indicator in the goods receipt item.

As a rule, inventory management is performed just as much according to quantity as it is to value.

Subsequent statements are valid for a valuated goods receipt posting.

Stock fields are available for the current and the previous period on a storage location level.

The price control indicator (S/V) in the material master specifies whether the material stock is

valuated at the standard price or according to a valuation variant.

When using price control S, the valuation price must be entered in the standard price field of the

accounting screen. When using price control V, it must be entered in the moving price field of the

accounting screen.

The activity account is always booked with a price that is dependent on the valuation variant of the

valuation area.

The order is always credited at the same level at which the plant activity is posted.

You therefore need to set a valuation variant per valuation area for the goods receipt. This is done in

Customizing.

You can enter the transaction figures of the G/L account again separately according to business area.

Topic: Goods Receipt

(LO215 Exercise 11)

• Goods receipt from production orders

After a material has been manufactured using a production order

(finished product, assembly, single part), the quantity produced

must be posted to the warehouse stock (or another type of stock).

This, on the one hand, relieves your production area of the

material and on the other hand, ensures that the material is

available for follow-on activities (delivery to the customer,

withdrawal for a project, ...).

As supervisor or production operator, you trigger the goods

receipt posting when you send a completion message. The

posting itself is created automatically when a confirmation is

entered or is carried out by the warehouse manager.

Use the production order from the previous exercise to perform a goods

receipt posting as described in the following procedure.

Order settlement is carried out to credit an order.

In general, settlements are carried out periodically.

You control settlements using a settlement profile.

You must credit orders according to cost element.

Cost element allocation between the debit cost element (production order) and the credit cost element

(cost receiver) is performed via an allocation structure.

Differences are either posted to the price difference account (expenditure / revenue) or cause the

allocation price to be corrected.

The use of the order-related cost object controller is beneficial in the following cases:

Flexible production environment

Flexible product pallet

Cost management of individual production lots

Costs need to be traced for each order

The allocation structure controls the conversion of debit cost elements to settlement cost elements.

You can save default values in the settlement profile.

Similarly, the PA transfer structure controls the conversion of debit cost elements in the value

components of the profitability analysis. A PA transfer structure is only required when you settle to a

profitability segment (for example to a sales order).

You have the option of defining cost element groups instead of entering individual cost elements.

(C) SAP AG LO215 11-7

In product-related cost object controlling, all costs are credited and debited to a product cost

collector.

Individual production orders do not have cost segments or settlement rules.

All functions in production and materials management that are relevant to costs (material withdrawal,

confirmation, goods receipts for the production order and goods receipt from production) are executed

on the basis of the production order.

All Controlling functions (process costs, overhead costs calculation, WIP and variance calculation,

settlement) are executed at the end of the period on the basis of the production cost collector and the

corresponding values are then determined.

The costs for a period include:

The values of the finally delivered material quantities of the period according to the valuation control

of the goods receipt.

The values for unfinished products (WIP) according to the level of confirmed operations

The values of variances (for example, scrap)

(C) SAP AG LO215 11-8

Settlement is period-oriented and is based on the costs of the product cost collector.

Order settlement for individual production orders is not applicable here.

In this case, the production order does not have a settlement rule.

For the in-house production of material, standard price control is generally recommended.

The use of the product-related cost object controller is beneficial in the following cases:

Make-to-stock production

repetitive manufacturing, mass production

sales order controlling, only in the profitability analysis

(C) SAP AG LO215 11-9

The deleting and archiving of orders is carried out in stages.

Certain conditions need to be checked before an order can be physically deleted and archived.

You have the option of individual or mass order deletion.

A retrieval function is available for displaying orders that have been archived yet already physically

deleted.

The deleting and archiving functions for production orders use the central archiving tools of the R/3

System. This makes it possible to apply various archiving systems.

In archive management, you can manage and display an index list of the archived production orders.

• Order settlement

After the goods receipt for a material has been posted (finished

product, assembly, single part), any existing actual costs (debits)

must be dealt with so that the order can be deleted at a later stage.

This crediting of the production order is a task carried out

internally by the controlling department in your company. It is

carried out using the "Settlement" function. This function is

usually carried out on a monthly basis using a background

program.

As production scheduler or supervisor, you have no activities to

carry out. You should simply know that the function must be

• Retrieval

• Archive info system

Production orders that have been completed in your area (goods

receipt has been posted), must be archived and deleted after a

stipulated period that you specify in Customizing. This ensures

that the volume of data contained in the database is restricted and

prevents it from constantly increasing over time. Archiving and

deletion is the task of the system administrator in your company.

As a rule, he or she carries this out on a monthly basis in the form

of a few background programs.

As production scheduler or supervisor, you have no activities to

carry out. You should simply know that these functions are

necessary and how they are carried out.

If orders were deleted once from the R/3 database, there is a

There are several information systems for production orders.

They differ in terms of how the order database is used (directly and indirectly) as well as in terms of the

kind of statements that are offered.

A profile controls the preparation of the systems marked with (1). The profiles are set up in Cusomtizing

by choosing SHOP FLOOR CONTROL + INFORMATION SYSTEMS.

If the systems are used for list preparation in individual production orders, you can control the profile

in the order-type dependent parameters (T399X) for each order type.

In addition to the above mentioned systems, there are capacity evalauations, batch where-used lists and

other lists.

The order information system is a tool for controlling production.

The system works directly with the order database and offers both evaluation (reporting) and mass

processing functions (see the Mass Processing unit).

It enables you to display information tailored to your requirements (layout can be adjusted).

It combines the logical structure and the graphical user interface of the Logistics Information

System with the hierarchical display used in IMG and other R/3 applications.

The order information system is integrated into the following components of the Logistics System

The order information system provides object-related inidividual lists and an object overview

(standard list for order headers).

The (object) individual list enables you to deal with the individual objects (operation, components

and so on) in different ways.

You can display detailed data for each selected object.

The content and structure of the lists can be determined on an individual basis.

As of Release 4.6C, two transactions with the following characteristics or special features are available

for the order information system.

An order progress report is available in Release 4.5. It enables you to clearly chart the progress of all

business transactions (in-house production and external procurement) that are required when carrying

out a sales order or project, and to process them.

The current stock situation, future stock level over time and the order progress report from

confirmations are all fully included in this report.

The report contains a warning system that informs you of date and quantity variances, enabling you to

actively manage sales orders and projects.

If the system is to determine variances, then the Progress values indicator must be set in Customizing

(T399X Order type-dependent parameters).

If the indicator is set, the system writes processing requests in the cases listed below. These can be

processed directly in the order progress report or in the background via a program PPORPCRE.

Processing requests for variances are only created if the tolerance limits defined in the selection profile

(Customizing) are exceeded.

In detail, the variances mean

Yellow traffic light Basic start date (planned order), release date (PReq) is in the past,

latest schedule line date comes after the required delivery date (purchase order),

actual date exceeds the planned finish date of the last operation finally confirmed and the float

after production is smaller than this exceeded quantity (production order)

You have a series of controlling reports at your disposal.

The basis of these reports is the report writer. You can either use standard reports or formulate your

own.

You access the controlling reports via Shop floor control + Info system + Controlling reports.

Current orders must be classified before you are able to execute order summarization.

In addition, the "automatic classification" switch needs to be activated in the order type (table T003O)

and the characteristics of the standard class SAP_KKR_CLASS specifically generated (Customizing

CO, transaction OKQ3).

(C) SAP AG LO215 12-16

The Production Planning Information System (PPIS) is reached from the logistics controlling menu.

SAP Logistics offers a series of application-related information systems. These all have a uniform

user interface and a comparable basic functionality.

The manner in which data is retained is identical in all logistics information systems. A variety of

special tools and working methods emphasize the typical characteristics of a data warehouse in LIS.

In Logistics, you are able to distinguish between the following information systems:

SIS Sales Information System PURCHIS Purchasing Information System

INVCO Inventory Controlling WMIS Warehouse Management Information System

PPIS Production Planning Information System QMIS Quality Management

Information System

PMIS Plant Maintenance Information System RIS Retail Information System

PPIS uses its own data basis in the form of various info data structures.

The info structures are brought up to date by the production order update program.

PPIS enables you to configure your own analysis programs for production orders.

Info structure data is not deleted along with the production order but specially reorganized.

It is therefore possible to carry out evaluations in LIS even after orders have been deleted.

Application options and prerequisites are dealt with in course LO275

Mass Processing in the Order Inf. System (HVOM)

Mass processing of production orders has been redesigned as a standardized concept.

It has been integrated into the order information system (COOIS) and works quickly and without a

dialog.

Advantages of mass processing (HVOM) are:

Execution online or in the background

Separation into "requests for processing" and "processing"

Parallel processing

Enhanced, standardized selection criteria

Standardized, adjustable display (field selection)

Enhanced functions for release and scheduling

Log book for background processing (application log)

Mass processing can be started with the options: immediate execution, create function request or

background processing.

If function requests only are created for orders, these must be processed later with the

COWORKDISPATCH program.

Transactions from earlier releases (CO04,CO05, CO44) have been taken out of the menu but are still

The profile can either be assigned to a production scheduler (Customizing) or a concrete material

master (Work scheduling screen).

In both cases, the result is material-related control.

There are a number of available options for optimizing actual data entry, which have already been

dealt with in the preceding units.

Confirmations can be simplified by using milestones (planned in the operation control key) or

progress confirmations (unplanned milestone).

Milestone or progress confirmations can also be used for entire collective orders (or sub-trees).

Backflush postings can be executed automatically by confirmations. The indicator has to be set

accordingly in the material master for the affected material components.

Automatic goods receipts can be executed automatically with a confirmation. This must be set up in

Mass Processing/Automation Summary

Order management can be highly automated.

As of Release 4.6, there is a standardized concept for

fast, variable and dialog-free mass processing.

Using the production scheduling profile, orders can be

automatically released, scheduled and printed.

Backflush postings and milestone confirmations reduce

the work involved when entering data to an absolute

minimum.

Other effects can be achieved by using trigger points.

Mass Processing and Automation Exercises

Unit: Mass Processing and Automation

Topic: Mass Processing

(LO215 Exercise 15)

• Use of mass processing of orders for selected functions (for

example, release, print, confirm)

In the previous exercises, you have always processed individual

orders (released, printed, confirmed).

As a rule, this is not the way you work in your company.

This work is carried out routinely and in the same manner for

processing program for orders is executed at night.

The system administrator in your company is responsible for

controlling mass processing.

As production manager or supervisor, you must monitor this

transaction and in particular, check it for errors.

1-1 Carry out mass processing of complete orders using the functions RELEASE and PRINT.

When you do this, select all orders for your material that have not been released.

If no production orders have been created for this material,

Mass Processing and Automation Exercises


Topic: Automation Options

(LO215 Exercise 16)

• Automatic release of the order

• Automatic print of order papers

• Backflushing

• Milestone confirmation

• Automatic goods receipt

In your company, orders are immediately released and printed, so

that work can begin quickly in the production department.

Material withdrawals are usually posted automatically at the time

of confirmation.

Each individual operation should not be confirmed because this

involves too much work. Therefore, you use milestone

confirmations, which are the only operations that have to be

confirmed.

In a collective order, you have the option of managing single orders, subtrees, or the entire collective

order. This has an effect on the functions that you are able to carry out within each of these views.

You will need to closely examine all individual functions of the normal (single-level) production order

in the corresponding view.

The orders to be processed together must first be accessed (that is, read from the database).

They can either be read from the database for the view in question when you initially enter the change

transaction or dynamically during the dialog.

A collective order has additional sets of dates.

Outline dates must be specified manually. This can be done at collective order or subtree level.

Lead time scheduling tries to schedule the entire collective order (or subtree) within the outline dates.

The basic dates of the individual orders are automatically adjusted according to the outline dates.

The production (scheduled) start date of the earliest order and the production (scheduled) finish

date of the latest order determine the production (scheduled) dates of the entire collective order.

No additional floats (floats before / after production) are scheduled for the total lead time of a collective

order.

If the calculated (scheduled) lead time exceeds the total lead time that was specified with the basic dates,

then all orders in the collective order can undergo reduction or only those orders that require it according

to their lead time (critical path).

You must set this up in the scheduling parameters for the order type (table TCX00).

There are two procedures for specifying interoperation times between assemblies. They are:

Floats defined as a relationship, or

Floats from move time.

When you assign components to an operation (routing or BOM maintenance), you can maintain a

relationship.

These relationships then enable you to specify a float. This float lies between the staging and subsequent

processing of an assembly.

You must enter the type and offset (duration) for such a relationship.

If you do not specify a float or any units of measurement, the move time of the subordinate order's last

operation is taken as the interoperation time.

You can overlap individual operations.

If you do this, you must maintain the parameters for overlapping in the last operation in the subordinate

assembly.

Collective Orders: Summary

Collective orders make it possible for you to

link individual orders over multiple production

levels.

Collective orders' multi-level structure enables

you to reduce stock movement postings for sub-

assemblies.

Some order functions are valid for the entire

collective order, while others are only

applicable for individual orders.

Collective orders are fully integrated in a

number of their applications. This is the concluding unit of the LO215

training course

(LO215 Exercise 17)

• Create collective order

• Change collective order

• Carry out production using collective order (entire range of

functions for production orders with multi-level collective

orders)

Your company manufactures complex products, usually with

relation to a sales order. As production manager or production

scheduler (supervisor)

you require a good overview of the production orders for the

individual assemblies and individual parts that make up the

finished product (sales order). You use collective orders to ensure

that you achieve this overview and to dispense with unnecessary

goods movements.

Collective orders guarantee that dependent orders are changed

directly. In this way, your daily work is simplified.

Scrap and rework can occur whenprocessing materials.

Scrap and rework that occur as a result of

the technical process should be

pre-planned to ensure that the desired

yield and quality is available at the end of

the production cycle.

Scrap or rework that

cannot be planned have to be disposed of

using additional production processes and

material.

You can provide for scrap in the master data (material master, BOM and routing).

These scrap values affect the scrap-adjusted quantity for scheduling, the material costs and the cost of

production activities in the production order.

The different types of scrap have varying effects.

Scrap in the material master or BOM increases the requirements for one or all components in

the production order and thus also the material costs.

Scrap in an operation of the routing reduces the operation lot size of subsequent operations and

thus also their production costs.

The production order costs increase for every element of the yield.

Planable scrap is integrated in requirements planning, the production order and product costing.

Goods receipt/goods issue and other inventory postings

Original value recording of inspection lots

Sales order, delivery note

Serial Numbers and Batches

Batch no. 0025

Material xyz

Serial no. 0002358

Serial number management and batch management are different functions in the SAP R/3 System, which

can be used in conjunction with each other.

A batch represents a subset of the total quantity of a material held in stock, which is managed separately

from other subsets of the same material.

Examples of batches: Different production lots (for example, paints, wallpapers, pharmaceutical

products), delivery lots or quality grades of a material

A serial number is a number that you give to an individual item of material in addition to the material

number, in order to differentiate between this individual piece and all other items of the material. The

material number/serial number combination is unique.

It is not necessary to use the batch management function to use serial number management.

Create serial number profile

Assign profile to material master

Create master records for serial

numbers

Serial Number Profile

To be able to assign serial numbers to individual items of material for particular business transactions

(for example, goods receipt), you must first create a serial number profile in Customizing.

You specify serial number profiles in the material master records for which you want to create serial

numbers.

You can create and maintain individual master records for serial numbers in the system.

You can create configuration data for serial numbers.

You can assign serial numbers to business transactions.

From a technical viewpoint, the master record of a serial number is stored as an equipment master. If the

equipment master functions are activated, then you can use the SAP R/3 Classification System to further

enhance the serial number master.

The equipment master functions can be activated by default if specified in the customizing of the serial

number profile, or can be activated by the user during the creation or maintenance of the serial number

master.

Serializing procedures


The serial number profile defines the conditions and operations for assigning serial numbers to materials.

It must be assigned at plant level in the material master.

Serial number profiles are defined in configuration under Customizing for Plant Maintenance.

The profile defines:

The business operations for which a serialization can be performed, must be performed, is performed

automatically, or is not performed.

Whether for a particular business operation serial number masters must already exist, or serial

numbers for which no master record exists can be assigned. That is, the serial number can be created

during the transaction.

Information about whether a stock validation is made for stock-relevant operations and how the

system should deal with inconsistencies.

Whether an equipment master record must or must not be created for each serial number

Usage: 03 Obligatory

Usage: 01 Optional

Under certain conditions, the business procedure assigned to the serial number profile may not be

restricitve enough for some of the associated movement types. For example, it may be specified for the

procedure MMSL that serial number usage is optional since the serial number is assigned at a later time.

However, existing inventories have to be loaded into the R/3 system during implementation. This would

be done using movement type 561; entry errors would be corrected using movement type 562. Since this

is existing stock, the serial numbers have already been determined in the legacy systems and procedures,

and thus they would be required when using movement type 561 or 562.

It is therefore possible to assign a movement type group to the profile and indicate that serial number

usage is obligatory. The movement type group is then assigned to the specific movement type.

As a result, all materials with this particular profile specified in the material master require a serial

number to be specified whenever a good movement using movement type 561 or 562 is transacted.

necessary, you can set or delete the user status, display the authorized business procedures and set

particular system statuses.

Stock information: This records in which plant or storage location the material item is located or to

which batch it belongs. You can also see what type of stock or special stock is involved. The stock

information is updated automatically when goods movements are performed and cannot be changed

manually.

Partner data: You can use freely definable partner functions and partners to specify in Customizing

which companies are responsible for the maintenance of the serialized material.

Configuration data: You can configure an item of material according to its characteristics or make

reference to a configured object.

Further data and functions, such as maintenance data, location data, and classification data are

available if you add to the serial number master record to make it an equipment master record.

masters created directly

Serial number master records can be created directly, in advance of any business transactions. This

would be appropriate if it is necessary to have serial numbers already in the system so that these can be

assigned during a business procedure.

Depending on how the serial number profile is configured, it may be necessary to have the serial

numbers already in existence prior to the business transaction taking place.

Serial numbers can be created individually or several at a time, depending on the transaction chosen. In

either case, depending on the serial number profile configuration, it is possible to have the serial

numbers assigned internally or externally.

If internal number assignment is chosen, the first serial number created is the next sequence from the last

one assigned to this material at this plant.

Serial Number Masters in Production Orders

Serial numbers can be assigned for individual pieces of material when creating, changing or releasing

production orders. The serial numbers can already exist, or can be created during the assignment. The

serial numbers that are assigned to the production order are transferred to the goods movement document

on goods receipt.

The serial numbers that are assigned to the production order are transferred to the goods movement

document on goods receipt.

The PPAU procedure makes possible the use of serial numbers in production and refurbishment orders

and defines how they are assigned.

The PPRL procedure makes possible the assignment of serial numbers when production and

refurbishment orders are released.

You can control the assignment of serial numbers in production control.

If PPAU specifies usage "03- obligatory", then the order cannot be saved unless all serial numbers

have been assigned.

If PPAU specifies usage "02- optional", then the order can be saved without serial numbers but cannot

be released unless all serial numbers have been assigned.

If PPAU and PPRL specify "02" and MMSl "03", the serial numbers must be assigned on goods

receipt.
