Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production

Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production Lesson Overview This lesson covers the organizational levels and introduces you to document usage and classification.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • • •

Identify the PP organizational units Describe how to use document management and classification functions Navigate the PP menu paths

Business Example As a member of the project team, you must understand how PP basic data and master data are used.

Organizational Levels and Material Master Some material data is valid on all organizational levels, and other data is only valid for specific levels. The material master is arranged to allow material data to be managed centrally within the company. This prevents datasets from being unecessarily filled with redundant information. The material master reflects the structure of a company. The figure shows the structure of the material master record.

2003/Q2


5


PLM111

Figure 2: Organizational Levels for the Material Master Record

You can save data at different company levels: • • •

Client level Plant level Storage location level

General material data that applies to the whole company is stored at the client level. Examples of this kind of data are material short texts, base units of measure and conversion factors for alternative units of measure. All data that applies to a plant and its assigned storage locations is stored at the plant level. An example of this type of data is work scheduling data. Production planning and execution take place at plant level. All data that applies to a specific storage location is stored at the storage location level. This data is mainly storage location stock. A plant is an organizational unit within a company. A plant is a place where valued goods and services are: • • • •

6

Produced Stored Consumed Distributed


2003/Q2

PLM111


Examples of plants include factories, central warehouses, corporate headquarters and sales offices. Basic data is used to: • • • • •

Determine materials staging Determine production methods with operation dates for an order Calculate start and finish dates for an order Identify available capacity and expected usage Calculate product and production costs

PP basic data: • • • • • •

Material BOM Routing Work center Production resources/tools Documents

Figure 3: Basic Data and Basic Functions

In manufacturing, everything revolves around material masters and BOMs, which determine the relationships between the materials used in production. Material masters must exist before a bill of material and its components can be created.

2003/Q2


7


PLM111

Bills of materials indicate what materials are used to produce a product. The components in a BOM can be assigned to specific operations where they are required. Work centers must be defined before they can be used in an operation. Production resources and tools identify the tools needed to do the work. They can be assigned to operations. Documents created in document management can be assigned as components in BOMs, or as a PRT to routing operations. Standard R/3 texts can be created and assigned to PP basic data objects. The R/3 classification system can be used to group PP basic data according to user-defined attributes.

Figure 4: Routing Usage

A routing shows operations in a sequence and acts as a template for production orders. The planned time for each operation is stored in the routing as standard values. These standard values are the basis for: • • •

Lead time scheduling Product costing Capacity planning


2003/Q2

PLM111


Figure 5: Master Data in Production Orders

For the material you want to produce, you must set the procurement type to in-house production (X,E). You must maintain at least one plant-specific view (MRP and/or work scheduling) and the accounting and costing views for the material. You must create BOMs as single-level BOMs. Create routings as routings (generic).

Figure 6: Material Master Views

2003/Q2


9


PLM111

The material master is used by all SAP R/3 logistics applications. It controls whether a material is purchased, produced or sold. Every area of responsibility can have a material master view. Because different user departments in a company work with the same material, and each of these departments wants to store different information on the material, you can subdivide material master data according to the department it belongs to. Each department has its own material master record view and is responsible for its data being correct. The data that you maintain in the following views is used by PP functions: • • • •

The basic data view includes general data such as the material number, material description, base unit of measure and technical data. Die The classification view contains user-defined class assignments for a material. The materials planning view contains plant-specific data used in procurement planning. The scheduling view contains plant-specific data used for scheduling materials for production.

BOM BOMs contain the materials used to produce a product. BOMs contain assemblies and components that flow into the production of a material. The figure shows the BOM for a pump.

10


2003/Q2

PLM111


Figure 7: Sample BOM: Pump

BOMs are used in material requirements planning, production, procurement and product costing. A BOM consists of a BOM header and BOM items. The base quantity in the header specifies the finished product quantity the item quantities are based on. BOM items indicate individual parts and assemblies, which are identified by their material numbers. BOMs are single level. A BOM item can also contain components, so that a multi-level production can be described by the single-level BOMs from the finished product, assemblies or assemblies of the assemblies (and so on). In addition to stock items, which flow into the finished product, a BOM can also contain documents or text items.

Work Centers, Routings, Production Resources/Tools and Document Usage A work center is a location that defines when and where production resources are required according to order requirements. In different companies, work centers are also called machine centers or capacity centers.

2003/Q2


11


PLM111

Work centers can be defined as individual or multiple machines, people, tools and so on. Work centers are used in routings (routings, standard networks, inspection plans, maintenance task lists, rough-cut planning profiles) and in orders. Work centers can be used to collect capacity for statistical evaluations.

Figure 8: Work Center

A routing defines operations and the sequence in which they are carried out. The following is also defined in the routing: • • • •

12

Where the work is to be done How long the work should take What materials are needed for each operation What tools, jigs and fixtures are required


2003/Q2

PLM111


Figure 9: Routing

Production resources and tools (PRTs) are items that are used but not necessarily consumed during production. In SAP R/3 there are different types of production resources and tools to differentiate between different purposes. • • • •

2003/Q2

Production resources and tools with material master Production resources and tools with document master Production resources and tools with equipment master Miscellaneous production resources and tools


13


PLM111

Figure 10: Description of Production Resources and Tools

Documents are basic data that can be used system-wide or on an individual basis depending on the document type. They can be linked to operations as PRTs or to a BOM using the item category. Documents are defined separately in the document management system. Documents can be specified as a component in a BOM or as a PRT document. If they are used as a PRT, they are assigned to an operation in a routing.

14


2003/Q2

PLM111


Figure 11: Document Usage

You define user authorizations for the document types in PP basic data in Customizing for the document management system.

Classification Classification supports the user-defined relationships among different objects in SAP R/3. Classification allows you to search for individual objects or groups of objects with similar values.

2003/Q2


15


PLM111

Figure 12: Classification System

The purpose of classification is: • • •

To enable you to find objects To enable you to find similar objects To establish that no object matching a set of user-defined criteria exists

A prerequisite for these requirements is an appropriate classification system. The SAP classification system allows you to use matchcodes and mnemonic numbers to build such a classification system. The four parts of the classification system are: • • • •

16

Characteristics maintenance Class maintenance Classification (assignments) Object search


2003/Q2

PLM111


Figure 13: Classification System Functions

An object is a unit that can be classified (such as material, supplier, work center and so on). A class is a name for a group of objects that have the same or similar attributes. A characteristic describes specifications of an object (such as length, standard, basic material and so on). A characteristic value gives an exact value for the characteristic (for example, 10cm, DIN 931, iron and so on). Procedure for class maintenance: 1. 2. 3. 4.

2003/Q2

Define characteristics and allowed characteristic values Maintain the class, including assigning the characteristics Maintain the objects (for example, materials), including assigning them to one or more classes and assigning values to them Find objects

Unit 2: Displaying Routings

PLM111

Lesson: Routing Structure and Routing Types Lesson Overview This unit explains the simplest way to display a routing and describes the process of the necessary work center maintenance.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Navigate through the routing and display all views

Business Example You want an get an overview of the production methods for a pump and display the routing for this pump.

Routing Structure In SAP R/3, routings are used to support various business functions. (For example?) You can also store more than one routing, including operations, for manufacturing a material in a routing structure.

Figure 14: Routing structure

24


2003/Q2

PLM111

Lesson: Routing Structure and Routing Types

A routing determines the sequence of individual operations that are necessary to produce a finished product. A routing contains operations and information about the work centers where the individual operations are carried out and about the standard times. Other important information included in the routing refers to the material components required for an operation as well as the necessary tools, jigs and fixtures (production resources/tools). If you want inspections to be carried out during an operation, you can assign inspection characteristics to the operation in a routing. The characteristic overview is the starting point for assigning an inspection characteristic. You can assign trigger points to operations in routings, so that later in the production order, certain functions are triggered when certain events occur. Such an event could be a specific confirmation from an operation.

Figure 15: Routing

You can combine routings with similar production cycles in a task list group. An alternative sequence additionally allows you to select alternative operations for a sequence of operations. This could be the case when using different work procedures for various lot sizes or when working around capacity bottlenecks. A parallel sequence allows you to process operations concurrently with others. The processing sequence is defined by the branch and return operations.

2003/Q2


25


PLM111

Task List Types

Figure 16: Task list types

The task list types are assigned to the different applications. A standard routing describes material-related production in production planning. A reference operation set is not material-specific . Reference operation sets can be used as references and as templates for standard routings. A rate routing describes material-related production within a production line and is used mostly in repetitive manufacturing. A reference rate routing helps you create rate routings. Master recipes are used in the process industry. Rough-cut planning profiles are used in Sales and Operation Planning. Standard networks are network structures that are independent of any particular project and that can be used as a template in the creation of operative networks. Using standard networks to create networks can save time if different projects have the same operations. An inspection plan is used for carrying out quality inspections and for measures that are relevant to production, such as goods inspection on receipt.

Unit 3: Work Center

PLM111

Lesson: Work Center Data, Default Data, Work Center Hierarchy Lesson Overview This unit deals only with the work center data that is relevant with respect to a routing.


Identify which work center data is relevant for routings

Business Example • •

Your company wants to reorganize its work centers You are responsible for setting up and maintaining the work centers.

Work Center Data Similar to the material master, the work center is made up of several subscreens. The work center is plant-specific and can be used in routings. However, for production orders, it is mandatory to assign cost centers and activity types.

36


2003/Q2

PLM111

Lesson: Work Center Data, Default Data, Work Center Hierarchy

Figure 17: Work center

Work centers determine the place where the operation is to be executed. They contain • • •

2003/Q2

Contain default values that are copied or referenced in operations when you create routings Costing data that enable the costing of operations Scheduling and capacity data required for lead time scheduling and capacity planning


37

Unit 3: Work Center

PLM111

Figure 18: Work center data

A work center contains several groups of data that you can enter on various screens (tab pages). Default values are copied to the routing. You use the reference indicator to specify whether a default value can be changed in the routing.

Default values The work center contains default values that are copied when you create an operation and that can be changed in the operation, if necessary. However, if the default values are marked as a reference in the work center, then you cannot make a change in the operation. The default values for work center maintenance are stored in Customizing per plant for the order type.

38


2003/Q2

PLM111


Figure 19: Default values in work centers

Note: When setting up an SAP R/3 PP system, you should make sure that as much data as possible is defined in work center maintenance. The default values are copied to routings or production orders. This data is saved partly in various screens in the work center. Activity types are proposed from the cost center assignment screen. Standard texts for operation descriptions can be predefined in SAP R/3.

2003/Q2


39

Unit 3: Work Center

PLM111

Figure 20: Standard text for operation description

To maintain standard texts, choose Routings → Extras → Standard text. A standard text key identifies the standard text. You can specify this key in the work center. When you use the work center in a routing, the standard text is copied or referenced in the operation.

Costing For operation costing, it is necessary to assign the work center to a cost center. Additionally, activity types with cost unit rates are required because multiple work centers can belong to one cost center.

40


2003/Q2

PLM111


Figure 21: Production costing

You can assign a work center to only one cost center in a time period. A cost center can contain several work centers. You must enter the cost center activity types that are relevant to costing at a work center. There must be an activity type master for the activity types used. The activity types maintained in the work center are used as default values for the operation. If no reference indicator has been set for the activity type in the work center, you can change the activity type in the operation.

Work Center Hierarchy Work center hierarchies serve to aggregate available capacities and capacity requirements in capacity planning. You can assign the work center to work center hierarchies for reporting. A work center can be assigned to multiple hierarchies.

Unit 4: Creating a Routing

PLM111

Lesson: Structure of the Engineering Workbench Interface Lesson Overview This lesson explains how to use the Engineering Workbench to create and change routings and provides additional information.


Expand routings using the Engineering Workbench

Business Example Because you are responsible for maintaining routings in the project team, you want to know how to create and change routings using the Engineering Workbench.

Worklist and Screen Layout The Engineering Workbench is a maintenance environment for product structures and PP objects; its capabilities far exceed those of the conventional maintenance of BOMs and routings. You do not have to process routings and BOMs separately. The most important objects of the Engineering Workbench are BOM items and operations. Views are applied to these objects, which then further enable the conventional BOM or routing structures to be used. These views support the full extent of the processing functions, such as: • • • •

Creating Changing Displaying Deleting

The worklist contains the selected objects, so that they can be displayed, changed or newly created in the Engineering Workbench. The system copies these objects from the database into the worklist. Only when the worklist has been saved following the processing of objects, are new objects created in the database or existing ones changed or deleted.

PLM111

Lesson: Structure of the Engineering Workbench Interface

Figure 24: Worklist: Use

The screen of the Engineering Workbench is divided in three sections: • • •

Toolbar Cockpit Overview

Figure 25: Screen layout

2003/Q2


61


PLM111

The toolbar provides the user with currently available functions that are represented by icons. The cockpit controls the Engineering Workbench. It is always available and consists of three sections: Process using This section is where you enter a key date or a change number to process the objects in the worklist. You need to enter a key date or a change number when you add, change, or delete an object. Effectivity window This section is where you can display a particular time segment of the worklist. Context This section is where the hierarchical relationships of objects in the overview screen are displayed. This screen contains one input line each for material, BOM and item. The overview lists objects that are contained in the worklist and that match the entries in the effectivity window and in the context. It provides information about the objects and change statuses of a particular object type.

Origin of the Default Values The default values from the work center can be references. You can also specify maintenance rules for standard values in a routing. You can specify default values in a profile for each routing usage. Only in a routing can the reference indicator protect from overwriting.

Lesson: Creating a Routing and Material Assignment

Lesson: Creating a Routing and Material Assignment Lesson Overview In this lesson, you will learn how to assign materials to a routing.


Assign material components to operations Maintain variable-size items with cutting measures

Business Example You are responsible for the correct staging of material components for the operation. Therefore you have to assign these components to operations and, if necessary, adjust the BOMs.

Material Assignment Material components must be assigned to operations.

Figure 27: Material assignment

2003/Q2


65


PLM111

You can assign and display material components for separate operations in the material component overview. For a clearer overview, you can use different criteria to filter or sort the material component list. You can • • •

Assign a new component Delete and reassign material assignments Navigate between multiple operations

You can maintain BOMs completely without having to leave routing maintenance.

Figure 28: Assigning a variable-size item

When you maintain the BOM, the final measurements are specified for the variable-size items. If you require a large cutting measure for the production of this BOM item, you can specify this when you assign the operation. Only those involved in material staging get these measurements. Inventory management books out the measurements from the BOM.

Lesson: Production Resources/Tools Lesson Overview This lesson explains how to create and use production resources/tools.


Maintain and use production resources/tools

Business Example why use production resources/tools

Production Resources/Tools Production resources/tools are required to carry out an operation and therefore have to be assigned to that operation. The PRT must be identified by a material master or a PRT master. The input screen for production resources/tools with a material master is automatically displayed when assigning a PRT to an operation. The PRT category can be changed.

Figure 29: Production Resources/Tools

In the SAP system, you can assign various PRT categories to an operation in a routing or a production order. The PRT category is determined by the requirements of a PRT and its reference to a particular object (material, equipment, and so on).

Lesson: Structure of the Engineering Workbench Lesson Overview This lesson explains the structure of the Engineering Workbench and copy features. You will learn how to navigate in the Engineering Workbench and use the browser.


Use the Engineering Workbench for extensive routing maintenance Use the EWB browser functions

Business Example You would like to find the optimum maintenance environment for permanent changes which allows multiple users to make changes simultaneously. You would also like to create new master data and link it in a hierarchy.

Functions of the Engineering Workbench The Engineering Workbench is a tool for integrated processing of BOMs and routings. This means that both object types and their links are maintained simultaneously and in detail with the same user interface. Why the Engineering Workbench? • • • • • •

Support for complex planning processes Parallel processing Selecting specific objects from routings and BOMs Integrated processing of operations and items Setting targeted locks Representation of the development of change statuses

The concept of the Engineering Workbench however, goes far beyond the conventional maintenance of BOMs and routings. For example, all transactions for the conventional maintenance of these objects are brought together, and extensive change management is offered. If you use complex selection criteria, which can be combined in any way, the resulting data then contains no unwanted additional information – helping you to achieve and quick overview.

84


2003/Q2

PLM111

Lesson: Structure of the Engineering Workbench

The integration of an object browser as well as various viewers and the digital mockup viewer makes the workbench a central object within PLM.

Figure 31: Processing Objects Simultaneously

Any number of operations from any number of routings can be processed at the same time by different people. The same applies to different BOM items. If you want to process an operation that is already being processed by someone else, the Engineering Workbench gives you information to show you who to contact so that you can consult with the other processor. The processor can then release the operation (for example the BOM item) for you, without interrupting their work on other objects.

PLM111

Structure of the Engineering Workbench

Figure 32: Structure of the Engineering Workbench

In order to display or process an individual object using the Engineering Workbench, you must select the corresponding object. Examples of objects are: • • • • •

The header of a routing The operation and suboperation The production resource/tool, trigger point and inspection characteristic The BOM header The item and subitem in the BOM

An object can also take the form of an assignment between individual objects. Examples of assignment objects are material-routing assignments, material-BOM assignments and component assignments.

Figure 33: Working Area 1

You do not have to process routings and BOMs separately. You simply choose the engineering object type, for example, material, operation and so on you want to work with. You group your choices together in a working area. The working area consists of the focus and the working environment. Focus The object type you use for selection. The focus also controls the input screen for the selection. Focus objects can be: Routing headers, operations, BOMs or items. Note: In the figure Working Area 1, the operation is the focus. Working environment Consists of the object types you want to display and process. All remaining object types in the working environment that have not been restricted by the working area can be contained in the Workbench. In the working area you determine which object types you are interested in. A working area can be specially adapted to particular requirements for processing, for example, for production or engineering/design. In the figure Working Area 2, the operation is the focus. The object types PRT, trigger point, inspection characteristic and subitem are excluded.

Lesson: Using Different Working Areas and Selection Options

Lesson: Using Different Working Areas and Selection Options Lesson Overview This unit explains the Engineering Workbench lock logic and other selection options.


Select and use working areas

Business Example You would like to find the optimum maintenance environment for permanent changes. You would like to make changes simultaneously. You would also like to create new master data and link them in a hierarchy.

Worklist and Focus Using the selection criteria that you enter, you immediately determine which focus objects are contained in your worklist. The focus objects form the core of your worklist. Focus objects meet the selection criteria you create. An environment object is an object whose object type is contained in the working environment and that is assigned to a focus object. Environment objects are automatically selected by the system, and represent the environment of the focus object that you are interested in.

2003/Q2


97


PLM111

Figure 36: Objects in the Worklist

An example for loading operations in the worklist by selecting according to the work center: • •

If the focus is set on the operation, then only those operations that use this work center are read into the worklist. If the focus is set on the routing header, then the operations that are contained in the routings are also read into the worklist.

In the figure Focus on Header, the focus is on the Header object type. In addition to the focus routing header, the object types sequence, operation, PRT, trigger point, inspection characteristic, BOM header, item and subitem should all be contained in the working environment. A work center has been entered as selection criteria.

98


2003/Q2

PLM111


Figure 37: Example: Focus on Routing Header

The figure depicts the following process: 1.

2. 3. 4.

All routing headers are copied with their sequences and operations to the worklist, provided that one of the operations contains this work center. Additionally, the objects that are connected to the operation and whose object type is included in the working environment are also copied to the worklist. All BOM headers that are assigned to these routing headers are copied to the worklist. All objects that are on a lower level to these BOM headers are copied to the worklist. All component assignments that are between the operations of the routing header and the items of the assigned BOM headers are copied to the worklist.

In the figure Focus on Operation, the focus is on the Operation object type. In addition to the focus operation, the following object types should all be contained in the working environment: Routing header, sequence, PRT, trigger point, inspection characteristic, BOM header, item and sub-item. A work center has been entered as selection criteria.

2003/Q2


99


PLM111

Figure 38: Example: Focus on Operation

The figure depicts the following process: 1. 2. 3. 4.

All objects that are at a higher or lower level than the focus objects covered by these work center operations are copied to the worklist. All items that are assigned to these operations, including the component assignments, are copied to the worklist. All objects that are on a higher or lower level than these items are copied to the worklist. The assignments between routing headers and BOM headers, determined in steps 1 and 3, are copied to the worklist.

The figure Routing: Different Focus shows the expected results based on the focus.

2003/Q2

PLM111


Figure 39: Routing: Different Focus

Prerequisite for the respective result is that the working area always contains the same object types. Use the Extras menu entry to view working area and selection criteria details.

Effectivities and Selection Criteria You can filter the objects on display in the overview screen with the help of the effectivity window. The example in this figure is of a working area with four operations. The operations have been partially changed. If you choose the selection period in the effectivity window, all operations that are effective in the selection period are displayed. If you restrict the effectivity window, the operations that lie completely outside of the effectivity window are not displayed. If you choose the key date in the effectivity window, only those operations that are effective on the key date are displayed.

2003/Q2


101


PLM111

Figure 40: Routing Effectivities

You can use the selection range to restrict the time period for the data. Only data that lies entirely or partially in the effectivity period is copied to the worklist.

Figure 41: Selection Criteria

The system automatically offers the tab page in which the object of the focus has been placed. When entering the selection criteria you can switch the tab page.

102


2003/Q2

PLM111


You can use the arrow key on the tab page to enter in fields additional selection criteria that is not contained as selection criteria on the tab pages on the screen. In addition, you can also use this procedure when you want to select according to several individual values, value intervals or generically. The buttons for additional selection criteria refer to various database tables. On the header tab page the material-routing assignments are in the upper block, and the routing headers are in the lower block.

Material-Routing Assignment A material can be assigned to different routings. The routings in a group are differentiated by the group counter. Routings can be clearly identified by their group and group counter values. Groups contain routings that have similar production processes. In this way multiple routings can be in one group, for example, for different lot sizes or production alternatives. One routing can be used to produce different materials, for example, mirrored parts, such as left-hand car doors and right-hand car doors. You can even assign these different materials to different plants.

Lesson: Sequences in Routings

Lesson: Sequences in Routings Lesson Overview This lesson explains how to deal with aIternative and parallel routing sequences.


Use alternative routings Use alternative and parallel sequences

Business Example Within the project team you are responsible for routing management. Your company makes products with various order lots that require specific production cycles. You therefore maintain additional routing alternatives for these products.

Production Version Different production lot sizes may require alternative production methods for reasons of efficiency. In the example illustrated below, a product is manufactured using two sets of technologies and methods. This necessitates different routings and different BOMs.

2003/Q2


115


PLM111

Figure 43: Production Version

Version 0001 produces brackets for large order lots on an NC punching machine. The bracket is punched whole from a metal sheet. Because it takes longer to set up a NC punching machine than the actual time it takes for punching, version 0002 is used to produce small quantities of brackets with another manufacturing process. This process requires strips of metal. The appropriate alternative is selected using the production version in the material master. The production version determines the manufacturing process according to the routing and BOM specified. You can store multiple production versions for different lot size intervals in the material master. The group counter values differentiate the individual routings.

116


2003/Q2

PLM111


Sequences in Routings

Figure 44: Sequences in Routings

Alternative sequences are linked to the standard sequence. Branch operations in the standard sequence are ignored in the procedure. Parallel sequences are special types of overlapping operations.

Figure 45: Parallel Sequences

Parallel sequences can be used in various industries, for example: •

2003/Q2

In mechanical engineering for assembly lines with individual component manufacturing: A parallel sequence allows for several individual components from the BOM to be prepared as smaller units for final assembly.


117


PLM111

In the chemical industry for analytical processes that occur parallel to the production process. An alignment key defines the start of the individual parallel sequences and consequently the position of the sequence buffers.

Lesson: Suboperations and User-Defined Fields Lesson Overview This lesson covers suboperations and user-defined fields for operations.


Describe the functions of suboperations Retrieve additional fields in operations

Business Example You are responsible for routing management in the project team. You would like to calculate more detailed costs of operations and therefore use suboperations. You use user-defined fields for transferring data in the operation from other systems.

Suboperations and User-Defined Fields Suboperations provide responsible production areas detailed resource planning below the scheduled main operations. They are not scheduled. For capacity requirements in suboperations, it is possible to set up reference dates for the main operation, as for PRTs. Suboperations are hierarchically structured under an operation and are used to carry out more detailed capacity planning or costing. For example, suboperations are used in a company at manufacturing centers. In the figure, operation 20 is responsible for compliance with the production schedule. Suboperations 20/10 to 20/40 are used for exact capacity planning and costing.

120


2003/Q2

PLM111

Lesson: Suboperations and User-Defined Fields

Figure 46: Suboperations

The control key has an important influence on this process. It is important that you make sure when using suboperations that costs and capacity requirements are not calculated twice. Scheduling always takes place only at operation level.

Figure 47: Scheduling Suboperations

2003/Q2


121


PLM111

The dates of the suboperations are determined using the start or finish reference for an operation when you specify an offset value. The reference dates for the start and finish of a suboperation are: • • • • • •

Start date for setup Start date for processing Start date for teardown Finish date for execution Start date for wait time Finish date for wait time

If an operation is divided into suboperations, the standard values for the suboperations can be cumulated under the main operation. If the suboperations run in parallel, this kind of cumulation is not possible because the cumulated values would be too high. Example: If you set a start reference for a suboperation to start processing with a time offset of 5- (5 minus) hours, processing in the suboperation will start 5 hours before it does in the main operation. User-defined field keys can be used to add more input fields for user data in the operation screen.

Figure 48: User-Defined Fields in Operations

122


2003/Q2

Lesson: Suboperations and User-Defined Fields

This field key makes the following fields available: • • • • • •

Two text fields (20 characters) Two text fields (10 characters) Two date fields Two fields for quantity and unit of measure Two fields for value and/or currency Check boxes

In Customizing, users create a field key name and then enter a field name for each additional field. The quantity fields can be used as formula parameters in formulas for calculating execution time and capacity requirements. These fields can also be used in product costing.

Lesson: Reference Operation Set, Work Center Operation Set

Lesson: Reference Operation Set, Work Center Operation Set Lesson Overview This lesson covers work center operation sets.


Use reference operation sets

Business Example You are responsible for routing management in the project team. You would like to find out how to use standard procedures using reference operation sets.

Reference Operation Sets

Figure 49: Reference Operation Set

A reference operation set is used to describe a frequently-used sequence of operations. It can be used either as a reference or as a template when you create a routing. A reference operation set does not allow parallel or alternative sequences. You can assign a material to a reference operation set.

2003/Q2


125


PLM111

You can use a template to create a reference operation set either with a routing or reference operation set. If you copy from a routing, only the basic sequence is copied. If you copy from a reference operation set, there is no reference. Reference operation sets can only be referenced in a routing by using the operation overview.

Figure 50: Work Center Operation Set

A work center operation set is a cumulated reference operation set and can not be exploded any further in a routing. You need a higher-level work center for standard value cumulation. You must trigger the standard value cumulation manually. Detailed operation descriptions along with the executing work centers are not included. You can manually overwrite the cumulated standard values. You cannot assign objects to a work center operation set. They are copied from the reference operation set.

126


2003/Q2

PLM111


Exercise 6: Reference Operation Set, Work Center Operation Set Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: • Create a reference operation set and include it in a routing. • Apply parallel sequences. • Assign production resources/tools to an operation.

Business Example You are responsible for defining manufacturing data used to support the production of the new pump. These definitions include: • • •

Introducing a gauge as a production resource/tool to be used during final assembly inspection Creating frequently used operations as reference operation sets Creating the routing for the new pump

Task 1: You can define standard processes in the form of reference operation sets for the final inspection of the pump. 1.

Use the EWB to create a reference operation set for the final inspection. The reference operation set should have the status Released (general) and be used for production. Planner group 0## is responsible. Enter Inspection group ## as the description. Hint: Do not forget to enter your planner group and the description. It helps you find your reference operation set using the external number assignment.

2.

The reference operation set consists of one operation, which is done in work center T-P. You copy the control key and the standard text key with the operation description from the work center. The standard value for labor is 10 minutes.

Lesson: Scrap and Its Effects

Lesson: Scrap and Its Effects Lesson Overview This lesson deals with the maintenance options for scrap.


Describe the types of scrap

Business Example In the project team, you are responsible for routing management. For a part of the product, the company needs to be able to schedule scrap. You are responsible for the correct maintenance.

Scrap

Figure 51: Scrap categories and their effects

Scrap is used for material requirements planning and product costing. Component scrap only refers to an individual component of an assembly.

2003/Q2


135


PLM111

During BOM explosion, the system increases only the component quantity by the calculated scrap quantity, for example, a component is broken regularly during the manufacturing process. Assembly scrap is only used when the material is an assembly. Reasons for the assembly scrap include inadequate quality or bad working conditions, such as heat, cold, or dampness. In MRP, the system increases the material requirement for all components contained in the assembly by the scrap quantity calculated for the components. Operation scrap in the BOM identifies the quantity of a component to be processed in an operation. The specification replaces the estimated assembly scrap for the high-quality materials and allows a more precise MRP. The net indicator controls that the operation scrap for components is calculated without taking into account the assembly scrap (net input quantity). You have to set this indicator even if no operation scrap has been maintained and you do not want the assembly scrap to be taken into account. Operation scrap in the operation results in a fall in quantity in the next operation and is taken into consideration during scheduling and costing. The scrap percentages maintained in the operations are written into the material master when the scheduling is updated.

Lesson: Task List Changes with the Change Master

Lesson: Task List Changes with the Change Master Lesson Overview This lesson covers changes to routings with documentation.


Make changes with history

Business Example You are responsible for routing management in the project team. Your company must document the changes in its BOMs and routings. You are responsible for ensuring changes are documented with history.

Change with a Change Master Record

Figure 54: Why Make Changes with Engineering Change Management?

Engineering change management is a central logistics function that can be used to change various types of master data and document the changes. By using a valid-from date for the change master record, the changes become valid on a predefined date. This aids long-term planning.

2003/Q2


141


PLM111

You can use engineering change management to store certain SAP objects (for example, BOMs and routings) more than once. This means that you can store the objects in all relevant change statuses. The changes take effect automatically at the predefined time in all areas of the logistics process chain, for example, sales order, material requirements planning and shop floor control. You can use engineering change management to group together changes to different SAP objects that are affected by one change. You can change all the objects at the same time or you can define different change dates for individual objects. You can use engineering change management to help fulfill your legal obligations regarding documentation of changes.

Figure 55: Engineering Change Management

You can make object changes (for example: BOM and routing changes) in the SAP system either with or without history. However, you should be aware that change documents are created by the system even for changes without history.

142


2003/Q2

PLM111


Changes Without History These are changes that must be documented because they take place during production, for example. These are changes that do not have to be documented because they take place during the development stage of the product, for example. The status of the object prior to the change is not saved. You can only find out indirectly about the status of the object before the change by using change documents. Changes with History Both the status before and after the change is saved. The system creates change documents. For some objects, these change documents differ from those created for changes without history. Engineering change management in the SAP system enables you to fully document changes. Some of these changes may be needed for product liability purposes, for example.

Figure 56: Object Type Indicators – Change Master Record

The following indicators control processing with the change number for the individual object types: Active = Object type for the change number is active: You must set this indicator if you want to process objects with the change number for the object type concerned. Object = An object management record is required for each object: If you set this indicator, then you can only make a change to an object of the object type concerned if you create an object management record for the object first.

2003/Q2


143


PLM111

MgtRec = Object management record is generated: If you set this indicator, the system generates an object management record automatically when you process with the change number (create or change) an object of the object type concerned. If you set this indicator, all objects of the object type concerned with the change number can be changed. Gen new = Generate on first creation: If you set this indicator, an object management record is only created automatically when you create an object of the object type concerned. In this case, if you want to process an existing object with the change number, create an object management record manually first. GenDial = Generate on first creation: With automatic object generation, the system opens a dialog screen where you can enter object-specific documentation. (Exception: Sales order BOM). Lock = Object type locked for changes: You can lock and unlock the object type as required.

Lesson: Understanding Lead Time Scheduling and Material Master Updates Lesson Overview This lesson describes the importance of lead time scheduling and updating in-house production time in the material master.


Assess the importance of lead time scheduling and updating in-house production time in the material master

Business Example As a member of the project team, you are responsible for the precise time scheduling of your products. To ensure this can happen, you need to first fulfill the following prerequisites: • • •

Maintain working times Maintain in-house production time in the material master Prepare reduction measures

Understanding Lead Time Scheduling and Material Master Updates Material requirements planning explodes a material's BOM, generates planned orders or purchase requisitions for the components to be procured, and calculates basic order dates. Basic order dates (planned dates) are calculated using the in-house production time or the planned delivery time in the material master. The in-house production time for a material can be calculated using lead time scheduling of a routing without an order, and then copied to the material master.

156


2003/Q2

PLM111

Lesson: Understanding Lead Time Scheduling and Material Master Updates

Figure 57: Scheduling and Calculation of Basic Order Dates

Production planning has two types of scheduling that are implemented in different ways: Material requirements planning and lead time scheduling.

Figure 58: Scheduling in Production Planning

2003/Q2


157

Unit 7: Scheduling

PLM111

To ensure smooth materials requirement planning, it is absolutely necessary to schedule a routing, and to update the material master with the scheduling results. If materials requirement planning (MRP) is carried out without scheduling (as shown in the top half of the graphic), capacity requirements are not determined for planned orders. You can also use lead time scheduling to determine capacity requirements for planned orders in MRP. Production orders are always scheduled using lead time scheduling for the operations. A production order always contains both sets of dates (basic dates and baseline dates). Baseline dates are relevant for production.

Figure 59: Scheduling and Purpose of In-House Production Time

You maintain the in-house production time in the material master. To calculate basic dates correctly in requirements planning, it is very important that the in-house production time in the material master agrees with the results of lead time scheduling in the routing.

Maintaining the scheduling-relevant data in the work center

Business Example As a member of the project team, you are responsible for the precise time scheduling of your products. Therefore the operating time must be stored in the work center.

Work Center Integration The standard value key and formula keys in the work center form the basis for scheduling, capacity planning and costing.

Figure 60: Work center integration

160


2003/Q2

PLM111

Lesson: Work Center Integration

You can maintain the available capacity for machinery or staff, for example. If one capacity is assigned to several work centers, it is considered a pooled capacity. You should maintain the available capacity of a pooled capacity separately in the work center capacity menu. The effectivity of an available capacity can be interrupted by an interval of available capacity with a limited effectivity period. You can maintain intervals of available capacity using shift sequences.

Figure 61: Capacity Categories for a Work Center in SAP R/3

You must assign formulas to calculate capacity loads on the screen for available capacity.

161

Unit 7: Scheduling

PLM111

Figure 62: Available Capacity Maintenance Using Central Shift Sequences

Shift sequences and shift definitions can be used for the detailed maintenance of the available capacity for each capacity category only if you use intervals. Shift sequences and shift definitions can be created and selected for special areas in Customizing with the help of the grouping key. You define the work start, work finish and break times for all work centers in a shift definition. In shift sequences, you maintain the sequence of individual shift definitions for all shift sequences.

PLM111

Lesson: Work Center Integration

Figure 63: Scheduling data at a work center

The move time can be maintained separately in an operation. You can maintain a minimum move time and a normal move time in the Interoperation times section of the Operation detail screen. If reduction measures are necessary, the system uses the minimum move time for scheduling. Note: The system uses the move time matrix to determine move times only if you have not entered any move times in the Interoperation times section of the operation detail screen . As a rule, however, the transport time should be determined by means of the location groups from the sequential work centers and the move time matrix in Customizing. You can group work centers that are close together in a location group. You maintain location groups in Customizing In the scheduling data screen for the work center, you assign the work center to a location group. In the move time matrix, you can maintain the planned move times within a location group or between two location groups and several plants. You can maintain the queue time in the work center and in the routing operation. However, the system uses the queue time from the work center for scheduling only if you have not maintained a queue time in the operation. If reduction measures are necessary, the value is reduced from the normal queue time to the minimum queue time.

Business Example As a member of the project team, you are responsible for the precise time scheduling of your products. You have to ensure that the formulas can be supplied with values.

Formula Connections The standard values defined for the routing and the formulas defined in the work center are used in lead time scheduling to calculate the execution time for the individual time segments (setup, processing, teardown). If you use splitting, you must also take into account the formula parameters in the formula for the number of splittings.

Appendix 2 Extra Slides

Figure 69: Example: Focus on Header

The focus is on the object type BOM header. In addition to the focus on the BOM header, the object types item and subitem, header with sequence, operation, PRT, trigger point and inspection characteristic should all be contained in the working environment. A component has been entered as selection criteria.

2003/Q2


187


PLM111

1: All BOM headers, with their items and subitems, are copied to the worklist that contains these components. 2: All task list headers belonging to the BOM headers of these components are copied to the worklist. 3: The objects that are connected to the header and whose object type is included in the working environment are also copied to the worklist. 4: All component assignments among items in the BOM headers and the operations for the corresponding routings are copied to the worklist.

Figure 70: Example: Focus on Item

The focus is on the object type item. With the focus on the item, the following object types should also be included in the working environment: BOM header and subitem, routing header with sequence, operation, PRT, trigger point and inspection characteristic. A component has been entered as selection criteria. 1: Only the items that correspond to these components are copied to the worklist with their BOM headers and subitems. 2: All operations to which this component has been assigned are copied to the worklist.

3: The objects that are connected to this operation and whose object type is contained in the working environment are also copied to the worklist, for example header, sequence and so on. 4: As a further restriction, the material/routing assignment is taken into account.

Figure 71: BOM Group

The SAP system saves for the BOM group all alternatives for a multiple BOM, or all BOMs that have been entered for a variant BOM. To maintain a BOM group, you must have set the indicator for group processing in Customizing for the work center. You maintain the BOM group displayed in the context block on the BOM header overview screen. Caution: If changes are made to BOM items in Item Group Maintenance Overview that are valid for all alternative BOMs or variants, you need to activate group maintenance.

Figure 72: Digital Mockup Viewing

You can use the digital mockup function to visualize products and components as 3D models in the Engineering Workbench from anywhere in the company. The SAP system gets the required product information from a CAD system. You use the CAD interface to copy BOMs and CAD documents from your CAD system to your SAP system. The system converts the CAD documents to a 3D format (such as *.JT) that can be visualized. This file is checked in to the SAP system as an original document management application file and is managed using a document info record.

Figure 73: Effectivity Types and Effectivity Parameters

When making changes with change numbers, you can also use the Engineering Workbench to make changes using parameter effectivities. The SAP system also enables you to link the effectivity of change numbers to other effectivity types. By default, the effectivity types time interval (DATE) and serial number interval (SERNR) are defined with the effectivity parameters time interval (DATE), serial number interval (SERNR) and material number (MATNR). You then have to assign value to these effectivity parameters when maintaining change numbers and also when using objects that have been processed using such change numbers. By using the time interval (DATE) effectivity type, you can control object changes that are, for example, only relevant on a seasonal basis or for a specific time period. By using the serial number interval (SERNR), you can control change statuses based on the serial number of a finished product. The parameter combination material (single value) and serial number (open interval) uses the effectivity type serial number interval. As it would be practically impossible to represent all possible variants of effectivity types within the scale of standard software, Customizing for engineering change management allows you to determine additional effectivity types with user-defined parameters.

Figure 75: External Processing

External processing allows production operations performed outside of your facilities to be defined in the same manner as internal operations. The vendor is treated as an extension of your production facility.

2003/Q2


193


PLM111

If you want to use external processing, you must select a control key that allows this. When you create an operation, you need to enter purchasing data in the operation detail screen. The following details are required entries: • • • • •

Purchasing organization Sort string Material group Planned delivery time Cost element

Figure 76: Backflushing: Settings

To use backflushing effectively, the material components from the BOM that are required in the operation should be assigned to the operations in the routing. By assigning components to an operation, you specify that these materials are first required at this point in time. When the operation is confirmed, the values and the quantities of the components are posted. Backflush determination is a multi-step process: • •

194

First the system looks at the component assignment data. If the Backflush indicator has been set, then backflush occurs when the confirmation is received. If not set, the system checks the material master. If the Backflush indicator has not been set, then no backflush occurs.


2003/Q2

PLM111


If you set Always backflush, then backflush occurs. If you set Work center decides, then the work center, depending on whether the indicator has been set there, determines whether a backflush occurs. Operations that are not milestones should have a control key, in which confirmations are possible, although not required or forbidden.
