7. SUMMARY:- 130

1. Over view:-

Production Planning module configuration and relevant

reports are demonstrated in this book.

PP module contains three types of manufacturing methods.

o Discrete

o Repetitive

o Process Industries.

Discrete: -

Discrete production method is applicable to the manufacturing

setup where small lots are manufactured with frequentchanges in the settings.

Manufacturing is accounted through Production orders.

Repetitive: -

This method is applicable, where products are manufactured

with least change or no change in the manufacturing processover a long period of time.

Manufacturing is accounted through backflush.

Process Industries: -

It is similar to the Discrete but instead of routing, It usesmaster recipe where in Process messages are maintained.

It is more appropriate to the food industries and processing

units where instructions are used during the process.

Manufacturing is accounted through process orders.

Configuration setting in PP module can be classified as below.

• Master Data related settings

• Planning Related Settings

• Production Execution related settings

We will discuss about the Master data related configurationsetting in detail.

Important Master data in PP module are

• Bill Of Material

• Work center

• Routing

Bill Of Material (BOM):-

BOM can be defined as “a list of required components alongwith the required quantity essential to make any product”.

Important Technical details related to BOM are

Application of BOM

Usage of BOM

Status of BOM

Selection of BOM

Configuration setting related to BOM will enable to align theBOM master data in line with the business requirement blue

print document.

Work Center:-

Machines, group of labour, processing unit are defined as

work center in SAP.

Work center contains the

Capacity Requirements

Scheduling details

Costing details

Configuration setting related to work center will enable todefine the SAP system according to the business requirementblue print document.

Routing:-

Sequence of operation, work centers to be used and theduration required for each operation to manufacture the

product is defined in routing.

Important Technical details related to Routing are

Usage of Routing

Status of Routing

Selection of Routing

Configuration settings related to Routing will enable to alignthe Routing master data in line with the business requirement

blue print document.

Friends, the configuration settings related to each master dataare explained in detail.

Example:-

BOM

Item category configurationAutomatic alternate selection of BOM

Configuration of BOM usageConfiguration of allowed item type for BOM

Work Center

Configuration of field selection in work centerConfiguration of formula to schedule and calculate cost

Configuration of standard value keyConfiguration of shift sequence

Routing

Configuration of Automatic Routing selection

Configuration of Routing usageConfiguration of reduction strategy

Configuration of user defined fields in Routing

2. Getting into the Configuration area of SAP

BACKGROUND

To make the configuration in SAP, one has to haveauthorization to perform transaction in configuration mode.

It is the place where every details are maintained to make the

transaction happen as per the business mapping.

SCENARIO

It is required to configure various settings in SAP.

INSTRUCTIONS

To do configuration, first one has to logon to the system, and

go to the IMG mode. How to logon to IMG mode is explainedbelow. From next document onwards, it is mentioned as IMG.

How to get in to the SAP IMG mode?

1. Type spro in the SAP main screen dialog box,

2. Click

3. Click on

Note:- Production related configurations are available under

Node.
