SAP Components
Figure 3: SAP Components
Various SAP components are used to technically realize the individual solutions. The in-house production is mainly supported by the SAP component SAP ECC. Production planning can be performed with the components SAP ECC and SAP SCM. SAP SCM provides considerably enhanced planning tools (Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO)), an enhanced Inventory Management function (Inventory Collaboration Hub (ICH)) and Event Management (EM). SAP BW (Business Information Warehouse) is used for separate data retention for variable evaluations. Interfaces for realizing the integration of ECC with SCM, BW or CRM are provided with an appropriate plug-in. The interface between ECC and SCM(APO) is called the Core Interface (CIF). Sales orders can be managed using the component SAP CRM, but also in SAP ECC.

Planning: Overview
Figure 5: Planning: Overview
Planning covers several steps that are executed using various components provided in ECC and/or SCM(APO). It is possible, and makes sense, to use both systems together for planning. The systems are integrated via the CIF interface (CIF: Core Interface). Demand planning uses past sales quantities to calculate the future demand program (determination of planned independent requirements). Flexible planning (ECC), standard SOP (ECC) or demand planning (SCM(APO-DP)) can all be used to perform this. Supply Network Planning (SCM(APO)) allows for cross-plant planning of all procurement operations. Sales orders are usually entered in the ECC System. The ATP check of a sales order can take place globally in SCM(APO). Material requirements planning can be performed in both systems. In ECC, capacity requirements planning is executed separately in a second step, while quantities and capacities are planned simultaneously in SCM(APO PP/DS). Production is performed on the basis of planned orders. Here, SAP supports different production types.

Cross-Application Process Flow
Figure 13: Cross-Application Process Flow
Process order management represents a central part of a complex process chain ranging from an independent requirement (planned or customer requirement) through to the goods receipt of finished products. Process order management controls the in-house production process of products (if required together with process management). Process order execution is, for example, integrated with the functions of capacity requirements planning, costing, and inventory management. In addition, there is integration with the ECC batch management and the ECC quality management, and interfaces with laboratory information systems and process control systems.

Master Data for Process Orders
Figure 14: Master Data for Process Orders
Master data is data in the SAP System which typically remains unchanged for a long period of time. It contains information that is often used in the same manner for similar objects and business processes. The material master record is the central master record in logistics. In general, SAP defines a material as a substance or commodity that is bought or sold on a commercial basis, or is used, consumed, or created in production. A batch is a unique subset of a material. The batches of one material are managed separately in stock. With regard to the production process, a batch is a quantity of a specific material produced during a given production run. This quantity, therefore, represents a unit with unique specifications. The master data for resources describes the means of production in the production process. A production version determines which alternative BOM is used in combination with which master recipe for process order manufacturing. The master data of master recipes describes the manufacture of one or more materials in one production run without relating to a particular order. Material BOMs describe the structure of products that are produced in a company. They are usually created and maintained from the master recipe (integrated maintenance).

Material and Batch
Figure 15: Material and Batch
In the SAP System, batch master records always depend on their corresponding material master records. Batches are created for a material. In general, the data of a material master record is valid for all batches assigned to it. In contrast, a batch master record contains data that uniquely identifies a batch and characterizes it as a non-reproducible unit. The characteristic batch specifications are assigned using characteristics from the classification system in the material master and are inherited by the corresponding batch master records. If a material is to be produced and managed in batches, the Batch Management Requirement indicator must be set in the material master record. A batch master record is usually created by the system in the background for certain business transactions (such as goods receipt). Users can also create batch master records directly in master data maintenance.

Batch Management in Supply Chain Management
Figure 16: Batch Management in Supply Chain Management
Batch management is used in all areas of logistics. A batch can be traced across the whole supply chain, from the receipt of the raw materials to processing in production and the creation of the final product, all the way through to sales and delivery to the customer. A batch master record can be used to assign a batch to a material at different places along the supply chain. For example, if the partial quantity of a material produced in batches leaves a production process (process order) with certain specifications, it is posted to stock with a batch number and can be uniquely identified there. If a batch with certain specifications is required in the supply chain, the batch determination function can be used to find suitable batches in stock. In production, batch determination is, for example, used in process orders to find and withdraw suitable material components for the product to be produced.

2005/Q2
Production is a central part of a complex process chain starting with a production requirement and ending with the goods issue of finished products. Various production types are available within the SAP solutions. Using process orders is an order-oriented production control option. Process orders have specific characteristics which determine how they are used in the different areas of process manufacturing industries. An important characteristic is the option to process orders using process management, which is realized with the use of PI sheets and links to process control systems (PI-PCS interface). A further essential characteristic is the use of functions for GMP-compliant production.

Exercise 2: Sales and Operations Planning Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: • Display a product group • Create a sales plan and a production plan • Perform disaggregation of product group quantities and a transfer to demand management
Business Example Note: In this exercise and the following exercises, you will carry out a simple example illustrating the cross-application process of process manufacturing from sales planning through to process order creation in the ECC System. Refer to the page “SC Planning: Overview” in your participant handbook to get an overview of alternative planning scenarios. In this scenario, we assume that the basis for a demand program to be created (determination of planned independent requirements) is Sales and Operations Planning in the ECC System. If the relevant system settings were made, we could also use Flexible Planning in the ECC System or Demand Planning in SAP(APO) as an alternative. You will display the product group T-ICE## Ice cream products. You will first create a sales plan for this product group and then a production plan based on this sales plan. You will then disaggregate the planned product group quantities of your production plan to the individual product group members and transfer the results to demand management (to determine the planned independent requirements).
Task: 1.
Display product group T-ICE## in plant 1100. Which product group members does the product group have? Which disaggregation proportions (in %) have been defined for the individual product group members?

Lesson: Process Order Structure and Elements
Operations describe the different steps required during the production process. For a more detailed description of these steps, phases are assigned to the operations. Exactly one resource is assigned to an operation. This resource assignment also applies to all phases assigned to the operation. The phases' processing sequence in time is defined in relationships. The material list is made up of components representing the materials entering and leaving the production process, as well as temporarily existing materials and their planned quantities. It also defines the assignment of these material components to the phases of the order according to their appearance in the process. In material quantity calculation, you define formulas to calculate the material quantities to be used or obtained in a production process, taking into account the mixing ratios of the ingredients, yield ratios of the products and remaining materials, as well as specific material attributes (for example, active ingredient). A process order is usually created using a master recipe. The operation and phase structure together with its relationships and assigned resources, as well as material components and process instructions are copied to the process order.
Elements of the Process Order
Figure 18: Elements of the Process Order
Phases are used for scheduling, determining capacity requirements, and costing. The dates and capacity requirements for operations are derived from the corresponding phases.

If required, further (secondary) resources can be assigned to operations and phases. The same business transactions can be carried out for secondary resources as for phases. Secondary resources can, for example, be included in scheduling, capacity requirements planning, and costing. A control key must be entered for both the phases and the secondary resources. The control key is used to determine how an operation or phase is to be treated in operative applications such as process orders, costing, or capacity requirements planning. A standard value is a planned value used to carry out a phase or secondary resource, such as the execution time. Standard values are used for calculations in costing, scheduling, and capacity requirements planning. Confirmations are entered for phases and secondary resources (however, not for operations). Data for process management: Alternative 1: Process instructions are structures that are used to transfer data from the process order to process control (PI sheet or process control system). Process instructions are assigned to the phases of a process order. The process instructions are combined into control recipes, which are then transferred to the control recipe destinations defined for the phases. Data for process management: Alternative 2: From SAP R/3 ERP and SCM Extension 2.00 (EA_APPL_2.00), the data for the process management can alternatively be maintained in the form of XSteps (execution steps). Using XSteps enables you to maintain process instructions in the form of reusable and referenceable modules. A Standard XStep Repository with version management is available.

Lesson: Process Order Processing
Process order processing can be divided into the following steps: • • •
Process planning Process order execution/process management Order closing
Many of these activities can run automatically or in the background so that manual processing of orders is minimized. WIP determination, deviation determination, and settlement are generally periodic work for Cost Object Controlling and are usually processed in the background. A number of settings must be made (Customizing) for each step to allow for successful order processing.

Unit 3: Order Creation
SCM340
A process order can be created manually or by converting a planned order. The production quantity and planned order dates are either copied from the planned order or entered manually. A production version with a master recipe is selected as the basis for the process order. It provides a detailed description of the planned manufacturing process. During order creation, the process order is scheduled, the required capacity requirements are determined, and the planned costs are calculated. Data and formulas from the master recipe and the assigned resources are used as a basis for these activities. In capacity requirements planning, the capacity requirements of order operations are dispatched at the corresponding resources (resource reservation). During the material availability check, different criteria can be used to check whether the material components needed for the order are available. Batch determination can be used for the system-aided assignment of batches required for production.
Alternative Ways of Creating a Process Order
Figure 21: Alternative Ways of Creating a Process Order
The graphic illustrates the different ways of creating process orders. In the course of integrated production planning and control, process orders are usually created by converting planned orders created in material requirements planning. In addition, you can always create a process order manually. When converting planned orders into process orders, the material to be produced as well as the order quantity, basic dates, and production version are automatically copied to the process order. The production scheduler can choose the planned orders to be converted from a material-specific time window (opening period).

Lesson: Order Creation
During process order creation, a master recipe is usually selected through a production version and used as the basis for the process order. There are situations when you may want to create a process order without using a production version and/or master recipe. In Customizing, you can specify whether a master recipe must be selected for a process order and define the selection criteria to be used. You can also create a process order without reference to a material, for example, to test an automated plant line. When you create a process order manually, you can use an existing order as a template to copy from.

Activities Involved in Process Order Creation
Figure 23: Activities Involved in Process Order Creation
The graphic shows the main functions that are carried out when you create a process order. By making the corresponding Customizing settings, you can control how these activities are performed. All these functions are usually carried out in the background (except for order type specification and manual quantity and dates entry in scenario (2)). The production scheduler does not have to do anything unless a problem occurs (for example, if a master recipe does not exist). Other functions that can run automatically if the relevant Customizing settings have been made, are, for example: Material availability, batch creation for the product, order classification, order release

You will define a process order type in Customizing and get an overview of the order type-dependent parameters. You will make settings for master data selection at order creation in Customizing and the material master. You will make certain settings for a material to determine that a production version is selected based on a quota arrangement. You will test the function for manual production version creation when you create a process order without a planned order. In addition, you will test the Read Master Data function, which you can use to read a different or up-to-date production version in the process order at a later stage. Finally, you will test the Include Master Recipe function, which you can use to include any master recipe in the order at a later stage.

An order type contains control information that you need to manage orders. An order category is assigned to every order type. Order categories are assigned to specific applications in the SAP system. They determine the technical properties of orders. Order category 40 is used for process orders. You must assign a number range to every order type.
In this activity, you determine the parameters that are valid for each order type and plant. Master data: Here, you define the data that influences production version and master recipe selection as well as order master data maintenance. Controlling: Here, you define the parameters relevant to costing, such as costing variants for planned and actual costs. Other settings that you can make refer, for example, to the documentation of status changes, the connection of the Logistics Information System, and the documentation of goods movements.

Lesson: Master Data Selection
Master Data Selection
Figure 25: Master Data Selection
For the creation of a process order and a planned order, a suitable production version is to be determined for the material based on the Validity Period and the Charge Quantity Range. A production version determines which alternative BOM is used in combination with which master recipe for production. Prerequisites and process: •
Creation with planned order: –
–
•
Creation without planned order: – –
2005/Q2
For a production version to be used during planned order creation, alternative selection 3 Selection only by Production Version (recommended) or 2 Selection by Production Version must be defined in the material's MRP data. When converting a planned order, the production version that was determined for the planned order is made known to the process order (and not determined again) and taken over to the corresponding recipe. The BOM is not read again, but rather the dependent requirements of the planned order are converted to reservations for the process order.
The BOM application for the process order type must include the selection of a production version (Customizing). When the order is created, a production version is determined, and the recipe and BOM for the production version are taken over to the process order.

Planned Order Creation with Production Version
Figure 26: Planned Order Creation with Production Version
When a planned order is converted, the production version is taken over from the planned order to the process order. For a production version to be used during planned order creation, alternative selection 2 Selection by Production Version or 3 Selection only by Production Version (recommended) must be defined in the material's MRP data. Note the following: •
•
94
If the system cannot determine a valid production version for a planned order, the system always tries to create the planned order without a production version (BOM determination without production version). When a planned order without production version is converted, the process order cannot be introduced to a production version. This means that no production version can be determined for the process order.

Production Version Assignment
Figure 27: Production Version Assignment
Based on the criteria Validity Period and Charge Quantity Range, production versions can be assigned to a planned order or process order automatically or manually. If several production versions are valid at the same time according to the criteria Validity Period and Charge Quantity Range: •
•
•
The system always assigns the first valid production version to a planned order, if the assignment is not controlled by quota arrangements. You can change the assignment manually. Note the following: When you need to Convert Planned Order, the production version that was determined for the planned order is always automatically assigned to the process order (and not determined again). With Creation Without Planned Order, you can always select the production version manually in the dialog. –
•
2005/Q2
If the Customizing setting Manual Selection of Production Version was made, you always select the production version in the dialog once a material has more than one valid production version. – If the Customizing setting Automatic Selection of Production Version was made, the first valid production version is automatically assigned to the process order, unless the assignment is controlled through quota arrangements and you have not explicitly called up manual selection in the dialog. In all cases, you can manually change the production version assignment to the process order by choosing the Read Master Data function.

Checks in Process Order
Figure 28: Checks in Process Order
The graphic provides a detailed overview of the checks that are carried out in the process order during master data selection. First, a valid production version for the material to be produced is determined or the production version introduced through the planned order is checked. (When a planned order is converted, the production version is adopted from the planned order to the process order.) The system then checks the validity periods of the corresponding recipe and bill of material (BOM) for the production version determined. If the system does not find a valid production version, you can cancel the master data selection and thereby the order creation by selecting the material master setting selection only by production version (Alternative Selection Method field). With the other setting, the system tries to select a recipe and a BOM without a production version. If the system is unable to find a valid recipe for the production version, the process can be continued in several different ways depending on the settings made in Customizing. Recipe selection and order creation are either terminated, or an order is created with one operation. In the latter case, you must manually maintain the operation overview afterwards. If the system is unable to find a valid BOM, you can create an order without a BOM. In this case, you can manually assign material components afterwards.

Production version: This parameter specifies whether a production version is selected automatically or manually for the process order when a process order is created without a planned order. Recipe selection: This parameter specifies whether a master recipe is selected for a process order and how it is to be selected. BOM application: This parameter determines how the alternative BOM is selected if a process order is created without a planned order.
Customizing: Define applications • •

The lot-size range of the production version must be in the lot-size range of the assigned recipe as well as that of the assigned alternative BOM. This applies to all change statuses of the recipe and alternative BOMs that are within the validity period of the production version. The assigned recipe and alternative BOMs must exist during the whole validity period of the production version. The deletion flag must not be set for them.

You can check whether the data of a production version is consistent with the data of the master recipe and the data of the alternative BOM assigned to it. You can then be sure that a valid recipe or valid BOM actually exists within the whole validity period of the production version. You can trigger the check as follows: • • •
In the Production Versions transaction, for a worklist of selected production versions In the material and recipe for individual production versions In a mass check for all production versions for a material, recipe, or an alternative BOM
If an inconsistency is detected during the check, an error or warning message is displayed in a log on the check result. The check results are updated in the production version as a check status.

To specify that you want the system to use the valid production version for the material to select component requirements when you create a planned order, you must enter selection method 2 Selection by production version or 3 Selection only by production version (recommended) in the material master record. When converting the planned order to a process order, the system always takes over the production version defined in the planned order and uses it to select the recipe. To specify that for manual process order creation or creation without a planned order you want the system to use the valid production version to select the master data for a material, you must assign an application for BOM selection in the relevant order type-dependent parameters in Customizing. You must set the ProdVers indicator for this application.

Lesson: Scheduling Lesson Overview This lesson familiarizes you with the process and settings of scheduling for process orders.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •
•
Perform the following Customizing activities for scheduling process orders: define scheduling types, set scheduling parameters, define scheduling margins Trace the scheduling of process orders in detail
Business Example You will define scheduling parameters for your order type and a scheduling margin key for your product in Customizing. You will then test different scenarios for process order scheduling in the application.
Scheduling
Figure 34: Scheduling
Starting from the order start or finish dates, process orders are scheduled in forward or backward scheduling. The system determines the planned start and finish dates for the order, and its phases and operations.

2005/Q2
SCM340
Lesson: Scheduling
Depending on the scheduling type, the float before production is either added to the order start date or the float after production is subtracted from the order finish date to determine the start or finish date of the production (scheduled start date, scheduled finish date). The float before production and float after production are time buffers enabling you to react to malfunctions in the manufacturing process. The system determines the start and finish dates of the phases starting from the scheduled start and finish dates. To do so, it must determine the phase durations and take relationships into account. The release date for the order is determined by subtracting the release period from the scheduled start date. The release date is used as a selection criterion for the collective release of process orders.
Scheduling: Phase Duration
Figure 35: Scheduling: Phase Duration
To calculate the phase duration, you must define a capacity category to be used as the scheduling basis and a formula in the resource. The phase duration is determined on the basis of the standard values and additional formula parameters. When determining the phase dates, the available capacity is taken into account with breaks in the scheduling basis . Scheduling is carried out at the phase level. Operation dates are derived from the phase dates.

Unit 4: Process Planning and Order Release
SCM340
The availability check can be triggered automatically or manually. In Customizing, you specify for each order type and plant whether an automatic availability check is to be carried out. Furthermore, you define whether the availability is to be checked during order creation and/or order release. A manual check can be carried out any time. You can either check the availability in a collective check for all components (automatically or manually), or in a separate check for each component (only manually). All receipt and issue elements to be considered are checked dynamically according to the ATP method (Available-to-Promise). Material quantities (including partial quantities) that are available at the requirements date are confirmed in the order. If the total required quantity of a material component is not available at the required date, the system sets the order status 'Material shortage'. In Customizing, you can specify that orders with a material shortage are locked and cannot be released. You can display missing parts for the order in the missing parts overview. The results of the availability check are recorded in the availability log. Availability checks are carried out according to checking rules that are defined in Customizing with reference to a material or application. The scope of the availability check is specified for each material and order type.
ATP Method: Example

All the relevant receipt and issue elements are checked dynamically.

SCM340
Lesson: Material Availability Check
The check is performed according to the ATP method (Available-to-Promise). Material quantities that are available at the requirements date are confirmed in the order. Check period: The check can be performed along the entire time axis but can also be restricted to the total replenishment lead time (material master). The MRP controller can use the ATP quantities to determine whether the master production schedule covers all issues and which part of the warehouse stock or production schedule is still available for new issues. The graphic illustrates the following scenario: It shows the planned material receipts and issues for material XYZ . The system carries out availability checks 1 to 4 for the existing reservations. In the third check, a material shortage is detected as the planned material receipts do not cover the requirements quantity. Due to the ATP logic (Available-to-Promise), the fourth check also detects that the material is not available although the material stock available at the requirements date would cover the requirement. However, the material stock was promised to the other reservations by checks 1 to 3.

The following elements control the material availability check: • • •
•
180
You assign a checking group to each material in the material master. It groups together materials that are checked according to the same criteria. You define a checking rule for each application (for example, process order management, material requirements planning, sales and distribution,...). In check control, you define for each order type and plant whether the material availability is to be checked, how, and using which checking rule, and whether availability is to be checked when an order is created or released. The checking rule and checking group together define the scope of the availability check. The scope of check defines, for example, which MRP elements and stock categories are taken into account in the check.

Lesson: Batch Determination
You can use the batch determination function to assign batches required for production. The system looks for batches in stock according to user-defined selection criteria. You can define the selection conditions for batch determination as characteristic values in classes of class type Batch. You can assign this class either directly to the material component or to a search strategy. The characteristics of a batch are also defined by characteristic values. On the basis of the selection conditions and batch classification, the system selects suitable batches in stock. An availability check is carried out at batch level. The batch determination function is also available for the following applications: • • • • •
Production order Repetitive manufacturing Sales (sales order and delivery) Inventory management (goods movement) Warehouse management
Batch Determination: Search Strategy
Figure 45: Batch Determination: Search Strategy
The batch search strategy specifies the criteria according to which batches are selected in batch determination and the steps that are further taken with them. The batch search strategy is an application-specific master record.

Unit 4: Process Planning and Order Release
SCM340
You create a batch search strategy with reference to a strategy type (= condition type) defined in Customizing.
Batch Determination: Customizing
Figure 46: Batch Determination: Customizing
Condition tables define the combination of fields representing the key of the batch search strategy. The access sequence specifies the sequence in which the system accesses condition tables during batch determination. A strategy type contains default values that are taken over when a batch search strategy is created. The following information can be stored: • • •
A selection class A sort rule Control parameters for batch split and the quantity proposal
The search procedure is the starting point for batch determination. Search procedures are assigned to application-specific keys (in process manufacturing, this is the process order) in a 1:1 relationship. A search procedure is assigned several strategy types. During batch determination, the system tries to find strategy records (= batch search strategies) for these strategy types.

The batches must only be determined when posting the goods issues. You do not need to enter a batch number in the process order. The batches must be entered in the order before the order is released. The batches must be entered in the order before the goods issue is posted, but not necessarily before the order is released. The batches are automatically determined when the order is released.

Where can you define criteria for the selection of batches for batch determination in process orders? ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ a)
For information on the criteria for the selection of batches for batch determination in process orders, see the page “Batch determination in process orders” in your participant handbook.
Task 2: In our example, we need the material components T-RTA## and T-RTB## to produce material T-HTB1##. T-RTA## and T-RTB## are raw materials and are subject to batch management. 1.
The selection criteria for batch determination have been defined as characteristic values for the BOM components in master recipe T-ASA##. Note: BOM classification overrules the selection class from the search strategy. Display the selection criteria. Write down the following:

Lesson: Batch Determination and Material Quantity Calculation Lesson Overview This lesson provides you with an example scenario for using the material quantity calculation with reference to batch determination processes.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •
Carry out a sample scenario on how to use the functions of batch determination, active ingredient management, and material quantity calculation together.
Business Example You produce fruit juice in your company. In recipe maintenance, the planners specify the quantities of material components that are subject to batch management in proportion units (active ingredient units of measure). The dependencies between the production quantity and the component quantities are defined in formulas of material quantity calculation. In process order execution, the system recalculates the production quantity and component quantities based on the batches assigned in batch determination.

Figure 49: Material Quantity Calculation
In material quantity calculation, you define formulas to calculate the material quantities to be used or obtained in a production process, taking into account the mixing ratios of the ingredients, yield ratios of the products and by-products as well as specific batch properties (for example, concentration, active ingredient content). You can also define formulas for calculating phase quantities in material quantity calculation. By using batch determination together with material quantity calculation, you can perform active ingredient management in a process order.

After the process order has been created, the planned quantities and planned characteristic values for the Fruit juice product and the material components are available. In our scenario, the values of the Fruit content and Acidity characteristics of the Fruit juice product are the fixed target values of production. All other values are variable. After the process order has been created, batch determination is carried out for the Fruit premix component in our scenario. Batch determination settings specify that the batches must always be used up. The batches are available in containers of 1200 L. You must withdraw enough containers so that you do not fall below the planned production quantity. An overdelivery is allowed.

Exercise 23: Batch Determination and Material Quantity Calculation Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: • Perform quantity planning using the material quantity calculation • Work with proportion quantities for material components in the process order • Use batch determination together with material quantity calculation
Business Example You manufacture fruit juice in your company that meets the following requirements: The fruit juice's fruit content should be 35 % and its acidity should be 2 %. You need the components fruit premix, lemon juice, water and sugar to produce the fruit juice. The fruit premix and lemon juice are subject to batch management. The fruit premix batches have been assigned the characteristics Fruit content and Acidity. The lemon juice batches have been assigned the characteristic Acidity. The characteristic values of the fruit premix batches and lemon juice batches available in stock usually vary enormously. To obtain the target values Fruit content 35 % and Acidity 2% for your product fruit juice, you have defined formulas in material quantity calculation of the master recipe to be used. These formulas map the necessary dependencies between the material quantities with regard to the batch characteristic values onto the system. Process planning for the fruit juice production is typically carried out as follows in the process order: After the process order has been created, batch determination is triggered for the fruit premix. The fruit premix is available in 1200-liter barrels, which must always be used up completely. The proportion quantity LF (liter fruit) required according to the planning must at least be complied with. This means that usually more fruit premix is withdrawn. Due to this excess withdrawal and the batch characteristic values that deviate from the planning, the product quantity and the material component quantities must be adjusted in material quantity calculation. Afterwards, batch determination is carried out for the lemon juice according to the recalculated quantities. Since the characteristic values usually differ from the planned values here as well, material quantity calculation must then be carried out once again to be able to adjust the water quantity accordingly and guarantee the target values.

Detailed scheduling (resource/work center scheduling) can be performed both in ECC (capacity requirements planning) and in SCM(APO) (PP/DS). A prerequisite for all methods of detailed scheduling should be long-term or medium-term capacity requirements planning. You can use the order information system to easily generate a list of the operations per resource. For this purpose, you must set up a special layout.

Resource Reservation Using the Capacity Planning Table
Figure 59: Resource Reservation Using the Capacity Planning Table
The graphical planning tables in the ECC and SCM(APO) systems enable you to carry out capacity requirements planning over time. They can be used interactively and enable you to dispatch operations or activities (APO) at available capacities of resources at exact points in time. Depending on your request and system (ECC or APO), the data can be prepared according to different views (for example, the capacity situation of a resource or the capacity situation of all resources required for an order) and displayed in different charts. The planning table is made up of different charts in which the available capacity and capacity requirements are grouped according to different criteria and are displayed over a common time axis. Each chart has a title bar and comprises a table section and a diagram section: • •
2005/Q2
The table section contains information on the identification and description of the objects displayed in the diagram section. The diagram section is a window on the time axis, providing a graphic presentation of the available capacity or capacity requirements with start and finish dates.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • • • •
Release a process order Explain the order release function Explain the definition and application of a production scheduling profile Describbe the function of system and user statuses
Business Example You will become familiar with the order release function. In this context, you will find out about the definition and application of production scheduling profiles to define business transactions to be executed in parallel. In addition, you will see how you can complement the system status network for process orders by defining user statuses.
Order Release Functions

319
Unit 4: Process Planning and Order Release
SCM340
Process orders have a status management which controls the possible processing sequence of the individual business transactions. When an order is released, the corresponding status is set. The process order must have status Released so that the business transactions for process order execution and process management can be carried out. You can release individual phases and operations, one complete order, or several orders at once. Various activities can be triggered automatically when an order is released: • • • • •
Batch number assignment for the product Batch determination for the material components Material availability check Control recipe creation Inspection lot creation for in-process quality inspections

Lesson: Order Release
Customizing: Define Production Scheduling Profiles •
•
In a production scheduling profile, you can specify that particular business transactions are carried out in parallel in a process order, for example: – Order release on order creation – Control recipe creation on order release – Scheduling on order release For batch management, you can specify the following: –
• •
Whether a batch is automatically created for the product on order creation or order release – Whether and how a batch is to be classified You can assign a production scheduling profile to a material and/or production scheduler. The assignment to the material has a higher priority. The production scheduling profile is taken over to the process order when you create the order.
System Statuses and User Statuses: Example
Figure 63: System Statuses and User Statuses: Example
Statuses control which business transactions are permitted for an order. Two different types of statuses are available: system statuses and user statuses A system status is an internal status set by the system. It it set or deleted by a business transaction but not by a user status.

Unit 4: Process Planning and Order Release
SCM340
System statuses follow a fixed sequence. The system status network cannot be influenced by the user. You can log status changes. To do so, you must activate change document creation for the corresponding order type. User statuses complement status management by the system. They are defined by the users according to their needs. User statuses can be set and withdrawn by business transactions. User statuses are linked to orders by a status profile defined in Customizing.
Shop Floor Papers (Standard Lists)
Figure 64: Shop Floor Papers (Standard Lists)
A number of different lists are offered in the standard system. For each order, a maximum of 20 lists may be called up.

Lesson: Principle of Process Management (I) Lesson Overview This lesson gives you an initial overview of the principle of process management.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •
Describe the principle of process management
Business Example The production in your company is controlled automatically through process control systems, partially automatically, or manually, depending on the area. You want to use the ECC Process Management for process control, so you first get an overview of the basic principles.
Process Management Figure 65: Process Management
Process management is the interface between PP-PI and the systems involved in process control. Due to its flexible structure, it can be linked to fully automated, partially automated, as well as manually operated lines. Process management includes the following functions: •
• •
•
Receiving control recipes with process instructions from released process orders. The process instructions define, for example, the process steps to be executed and the process data to be confirmed (using process messages) in detail. Sending control recipes to the corresponding process operators or process control systems Manual processing: Displaying control recipes in natural language in the form of PI sheets that can be displayed and maintained on the screen by the process operator Receiving, checking, and sending process messages with actual process data from the process control system or the PI sheet
Data is exchanged with process control systems using the PI-PCS interface.

Creating and Sending Control Recipes: Alternative 1 Figure 66: Creating and Sending Control Recipes: Alternative 1
Alternative 1: Maintaining process instructions for the phases • •
You can define information relevant for process control in the process order in the form of process instructions for the phases of the order. The process management groups the process instructions to control recipes and transfers these to the control recipe destinations assigned to the phases.
Creating and Sending Control Recipes: Alternative 2 Figure 67: Creating and Sending Control Recipes: Alternative 2
Alternative 2: Maintaining process instructions for XSteps •
From SAP R/3 ERP and SCM Extension 2.00 (EA_APPL_2.00), the data for the process management can alternatively be maintained in the form of XSteps (execution steps). Using XSteps enables you to maintain process instructions in the form of reusable and referenceable modules. A Standard XStep Repository with version management is available.
Control Recipe Monitor Figure 68: Control Recipe Monitor
The control recipe monitor provides information on the current processing status of a control recipe. From the monitor, you can call up different logs containing more detailed information on the individual process steps carried out and the errors that occurred during control recipe processing. On the basis of this information, you can carry out the following transactions from within the monitor: • •

HTML-Based PI Sheet (I) Figure 69: HTML-Based PI Sheet (I)
The SAP PI sheet provides for processing on the screen, which means the process operator is to enter, confirm, or complete data interactively. Depending on the process instructions contained in a control recipe, the PI sheet has the following elements and functions, for example: • • • • • • • •
Display of information on process (control instructions, notes, and so on) Input fields and tables for entering process data, input validations, signatures Batch determination and batch check Process data calculation Reading and writing data from internal or external applications Link to QM inspection results recording Sequence definition for determining the processing sequence of phases Comments on documentation and messages from process events
As of Release 4.6C, you can generate PI sheets in HTML. The browser-based PI sheet enhances the ABAP list-based PI sheet. It gives you the advantage of a flexible, user-specific layout definition and allows you to define frames, for example, for linking to documents, graphics, the Internet and intranet.
HTML-Based PI Sheet (II) Figure 70: HTML-Based PI Sheet (II)
Standard Postings for Process Orders Figure 71: Standard Postings for Process Orders
The standard postings for process orders (goods issue, confirmation, goods receipt) can be performed using manual data entry in the ECC System or process messages from a PI sheet or a process control system. The process instructions of the control recipe for an order define which process messages are requested by a PI sheet or a process control system. Confirmations are entered for phases and secondary resources (however, not for operations). The simplest confirmation procedure is the confirmation for the process order.

Flexible Data Entry with Process Messages Figure 72: Flexible Data Entry with Process Messages
Process messages are data structures with which actual data for a process is confirmed from process control to one or more destinations. You can define process messages in Customizing according to your own specific requirements. The standard SAP System contains a number of predefined message categories enabling you to transfer current data from process control to the ECC System. The process messages are first sent to the process management. They are then checked and forwarded to pre-defined destinations.
Message Monitor Figure 73: Message Monitor
The message monitor provides information on the current processing status of process messages. From the monitor, you can call up various logs containing more detailed information on the processing of individual messages and errors that occurred. On the basis of this information, you can carry out the following transactions from within the monitor: • • •

Process management coordinates the transfer of data between the ECC System and the process control level. Due to its flexible structure, process management can be linked to automated, partially automated, and manually operated lines. After a process order has been released for production, the process instructions maintained in the process order are grouped into control recipes. Control recipes are either transferred to process control systems via the PCS interface or they are displayed for process operators in the form of a PI sheet. Control recipes are either transferred to process control systems via the PCS interface or they are displayed for process operators in the form of a PI sheet.

The Material Staging Process (II)
Figure 75: The Material Staging Process (II)
The basis for material withdrawal for process orders are material withdrawal slips, pull lists, pick lists and similar documents, as well as PI sheets and weighing systems linked via the PI-PCS interface. The Warehouse Management System has three options, which are described below: •
Pick list items are provided for the process order in exactly the same quantity as the requirements quantity. These parts can be provided for the process order at a physical storage location or dynamic storage location (process order). Here, you can create transfer requirements manually or automatically when you release the order.
• •
2005/Q2
Crate parts are requested manually when a container is almost empty. 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.

Lesson: Goods Issue Posting Lesson Overview This lesson informs you about the goods issue posting for process orders.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • •
Perform goods issue postings for process orders manually using the corresponding ECC transactions Perform goods issue postings for process orders manually using process messages from the PI sheet
Business Example You will test goods receipt posting for process orders. Since not all areas in your company use the functions of process management, you must become familiar with both inventory postings using process messages and manual postings using the corresponding ECC transactions.
Material Withdrawal (Goods Issue) Figure 76: Material Withdrawal (Goods Issue)
The material components required for production are withdrawn from the warehouse as goods issues. The delivery of the material produced to the warehouse is recorded in the form of goods receipts. Both goods movements trigger the following activities in the system: • • • •
372
The system creates a material document that describes the goods movement from the materials management point of view. The system creates an accounting document describing the material movement from the accounting point of view. The system updates the material's stock quantities. The system updates the stock values in the material master as well as the material stock and consumption accounts.

Lesson: Goods Issue Posting
Goods Issue Figure 77: Goods Issue
You can post material receipts manually by using the corresponding ECC transactions or by sending process messages from the PI sheet or a process control system. When you create a process order, the system automatically creates a reservation for the material components required for the order. Each material component of the order is given an item number within the reservation. You can carry out planned goods issues (that is, for the reservation items) and unplanned goods issues. Planned goods issues reduce the reservation. For unplanned withdrawals, the system only updates costs. You can also post goods issues automatically during confirmation (backflushing). You can use backflushing, for example, if you do not want to physically issue a material from the warehouse with reference to an order. The system assumes that the material is staged at the corresponding work center.
Goods Issue Using a Process Message: Example Figure 78: Goods Issue Using a Process Message: Example
You can use process messages to trigger goods issue postings from a process control system or the PI sheet. The graphic shows a goods issue posting from a PI sheet. In our example, a process message of category PI_CONS to post a goods issue is created when the quantity of ammonia charged is entered in the PI sheet. The message is sent to the corresponding message destination. The message destination of message category PI_CONS is the Goods Issue Posting function module.

Lesson: Goods Issue Posting
Exercise 30: Goods Issue Posting Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: • Perform goods issue posting manually • Differentiate between planned and unplanned withdrawals • Perform goods issue posting using process messages
Business Example You will test different scenarios for goods issue postings for process orders. You will perform manual goods issue postings. For example, a process operator/worker takes the material withdrawal slip to the warehouse, withdraws the material or materials, and posts the goods issue with reference to the material withdrawal slip. You will post goods issues by maintaining the PI sheet. A process operator can, for example, enter process events directly in the PI sheet in ECC and thus report them using process messages.
Task 1: 1.
Name the different ways in which goods issues can be entered for process orders. Which business transactions are triggered by a goods issue posting?

SCM340
Lesson: Confirmation Procedures
Confirmations are recorded for the phases and secondary resources. Since costing, scheduling, and capacity requirements planning are only based on the phase data and secondary resource data, operations are not confirmed. The graphic illustrates which data you can confirm and which business transactions are carried out as a result. To confirm order data, you can use both the R/3 confirmation transactions and process messages from within the PI sheet or a process control system. Confirmations can be used to trigger backflushing and automatic goods receipts.
Confirmation Procedures
Figure 80: Confirmation Procedures
You can enter confirmations for phases and secondary resources. If you enter a confirmation for a phase or a secondary resource, you can use either of the following options: • •
To confirm durations and activities, you enter a time ticket confirmation. To confirm a specific point in time (for example, processing start or processing finish), you enter a time event confirmation. When you confirm time events, the system calculates the confirmed duration. Parameters of time-dependent standard values must be assigned the record type group 2. Time-independent standard values can be confirmed as variable activities.
You can confirm data as follows: • •

SCM340
Simplified Confirmation Procedures
Figure 81: Simplified Confirmation Procedures
If you enter a confirmation for the order, the phases/secondary resources are confirmed in accordance with the formulas defined for the standard values. • •
Quantity-dependent standard values of phases / secondary resources are confirmed in proportion to the confirmed order quantity. If the standard values are quantity-independent, the confirmed values are identical to the planned values.
You can use the collective confirmation function to confirm data of several phases and secondary resources belonging to different orders. The standard values of the phases / secondary resources are confirmed in accordance with the formulas assigned. • •

Quantity-dependent standard values of phases / secondary resources are confirmed in proportion to the confirmed operation quantity. If the standard values are quantity-independent, the confirmed values are identical to the planned values.

Customizing: Confirmation Parameters
Figure 82: Customizing: Confirmation Parameters
In Customizing, you define confirmation parameters for each order type and plant (fixed parameters). When you enter a confirmation, you can change some of these settings in the dialog (variable parameters). Using the confirmation parameters, you specify the following, for example: • • •

SCM340
Customizing: Single-Screen Entry
Figure 83: Customizing: Single-Screen Entry
In this step you define the confirmation profiles for the single-screen entry of time ticket confirmations and for the postprocessing of incorrect time ticket confirmations. You can define the layout of the entry screen. To do this, you specify which input and output fields are displayed in what order. These definitions are grouped into profiles. In the user parameter CORUPROF, a profile is assigned to the individual end user. In the header area, you can define which data should identify the phase to be confirmed or the secondary resources. Here, for example, you can differentiate between whether only the confirmation number can be entered for the defined profile, or whether the order, phase, and secondary resources can also be entered. In the detail areas you specify which information can be entered for the phase to be confirmed or the secondary resources, and in which order the related fields are presented. The postprocessing indicator specifies whether the profile is used for the single-screen entry or for the postprocessing of incorrect time ticket confirmations. Under a profile name, there can be one definition for each application case. You use the Standard profile indicator to specify that the profile is to be used as a standard profile. Only one profile can be defined as a standard profile for each of the single-screen entry and the postprocessing of incorrect time ticket confirmations. The standard profile is used when the user in the user parameter CORUPROF is not assigned a profile, or if the profile assigned does not exist.

Confirmation Using a Process Message: Example
Figure 84: Confirmation Using a Process Message: Example
You can use process messages to confirm data from a process control system or a PI sheet. The graphic illustrates how you enter a time event confirmation from within a PI sheet. In our example, a process message of category PI_PHST is created when a signature is entered. This message confirms the start of phase 110. The message is sent to the corresponding message destination. The message destination for message category PI_PHST is the Confirmation for phase function module. This function module posts the confirmation. The following process message categories that you can use for confirmations have been predefined by SAP: Time event confirmations: • • • •
PI_PHACT Message on activities (phase) PI_PHST Message on phase status PI_SRACT Message on activities (secondary resource) PI_SRST Message on secondary resource status
Time ticket confirmations: • •

Unit 7: Confirmations
SCM340
You can enter planned goods movements during confirmation as follows: •
Backflushing When you confirm an order or phase that has been assigned components for which the Backflushing indicator has been set, the system automatically posts a goods issue for these components.
•
Automatic goods receipt If the control key assigned to the phase that you confirm specifies that an automatic goods receipt must be made, the system automatically posts the delivered material to the stock.
Unplanned goods movements: You can navigate to a material overview from the confirmation. You can enter any number of unplanned material movements or change planned material movements on this material overview. Note that in PP-PI you can use process messages from process control to post material movements. If you use this function, do not trigger material postings from the confirmation.

2005/Q2
SCM340
Lesson: Confirmations and Material Movements
A goods issue has to be posted for every material that is withdrawn during order processing. Goods issue posting can be carried out: • •
Directly when the material is withdrawn Automatically when you confirm the phase to which the material component has been assigned (backflushing)
You can use backflushing, for example, if you do not want to physically issue a material from the warehouse with reference to an order. The system assumes that the material is staged at the resource. Note that you can only confirm phases in the process order. For this reason, you cannot backflush a material if the material component is assigned to an operation in the process order. You can navigate to a material overview from the confirmation. In Customizing, you can define whether you want this overview to list all components assigned to the phase or only those that must be backflushed. You can enter any number of unplanned material movements or change planned material movements on this material overview. Note that in PP-PI you can use process messages (for example, PI_CONS) from process control to post material movements. If you use this function, we recommend that you do not trigger goods issues from the confirmation, or set the filter for the control recipe destination accordingly for generated process instructions.

Unit 7: Confirmations
SCM340
To determine whether a material is to be backflushed, you can make settings in: • • • •
The material master record (MRP view) The resource (Basic Data screen) The master recipe (General Data screen for component assignment) The process order (General Data screen for the material component)
When you create a process order, the settings made in the master recipe are copied to the order. However, you can still change them. If you set the Backflush indicator in the process order, the material is always backflushed regardless of what you entered in the material master record. If you do not set the indicator in the process order, it depends on the settings in the material master record whether the material is backflushed or not. In the material master record, you can determine whether the material is always to be backflushed or whether it depends on the settings in the resource. The graphic shows where you must set which indicators to control backflushing.
Automatic Goods Receipt
Figure 88: Automatic Goods Receipt
In the control key of a phase, you can specify that the system should automatically post the finished material to stock when the phase is confirmed.

2005/Q2
SCM340
Lesson: Confirmations and Material Movements
An automatic goods receipt can only be posted for one phase per order. You should therefore make sure that only one phase in the order (normally the last phase) has a control key that specifies automatic goods receipt. If you want to use automatic goods receipt in process manufacturing, make sure that the operation quantity (confirmed quantity) is identical with the quantity produced. Note: As a basis for activity calculation, the operation quantity processed is confirmed. In process manufacturing, this need not necessarily be identical to the yield produced. If you want to use process messages (for example, PI_PROD) to post goods receipts, do not trigger an automatic goods receipt from confirmation.

You can post material receipts manually by using the corresponding ECC transactions or by sending process messages from the PI sheet or a process control system. The graphic shows the business transactions triggered by goods receipt postings. You can also post a goods receipt automatically during confirmation. If you use process management, however, do not use this function since goods receipts are posted using process messages. The Delivery completed indicator specifies whether an order is regarded as closed from the point of view of goods receipt. This means that no further goods receipts are expected for the order. The open quantity is zero. You can still post goods receipts for remaining quantities. However, they do not change the open purchase order quantity. If you have already entered a delivery for which the Delivery completed indicator has been set and still expect another delivery, you must reset the indicator.

Underdelivery and Overdelivery
Figure 93: Underdelivery and Overdelivery
Underdeliveries are permitted in the standard system. You can even define an underdelivery tolerance in percentage. A goods receipt quantity that is less than the order quantity minus the underdelivery tolerance is regarded as a partial delivery and is accepted by the system. If you manually post the goods receipt, the system issues a message to inform the user about the underdelivery. In this message, it also takes the underdelivery tolerance into account. Overdeliveries are not allowed in the standard system. If you want to allow overdeliveries, you can define an overdelivery tolerance in percentage. In addition, you can deactivate the overdelivery tolerance check and thus enable unrestricted overdeliveries.

The material is always subject to quality inspection before it can be used. In this case, you set the indicator for the quality inspection in the material master. When you create an order, this indicator is copied from the material master to the order. You want to inspect the product manufactured in a particular process order. The production controller sets the indicator for quality inspection in the goods receipt data of the order. At the time of the goods receipt, you decide that the material quality must be checked. You set the indicator for the quality check in the goods receipt item.

Lesson: Order Settlement Lesson Overview This lesson informs you about the principle of order settlement.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •
Settle a process order and describe the general principle of order settlement
Business Example After you post a goods receipt, the order must be exempted of actual costs (debits) so that the order can later be deleted. This credit to the order is an internal activity of Controlling. It is executed using the Settlement function. This function is usually executed monthly with a background job.

Lesson: Order Settlement
Settlement Rules
Figure 96: Settlement Rules
The system automatically assigns a settlement rule to the process order during creation. This assignment is carried out by a default rule defined in Customizing (order type-dependent parameters). The settlement rule covers one or several distribution rules for the process order. The distribution rule consists of a settlement receiver, a settlement share, and a settlement type. Through the settlement receiver, you determine which object is used for settling the actual costs of the process order. By means of the settlement share, you determine the percentage/equivalence number used to distribute the costs to individual settlement receivers. The settlement type is used to determine whether all costs incurred by the order are settled (total settlement) or whether periodic settlement is to be carried out for the order. For make-to-order production, the sales order is automatically defined as the settlement receiver.

Cost Debit / Credit (Order-Related COC)
Figure 97: Cost Debit / Credit (Order-Related COC)
The manner in which a process order is credited and debited depends on the variant of cost object controlling (COC) selected in Controlling. Both order-related and product-related cost object controlling is possible. Order settlement credits the order. Settlement is usually periodic. It is controlled via a settlement profile. It makes sense to use order-related COC for the following: • • • • • •
Flexible production environment Flexible product range Cost management of individual production lots If cost controlling is required for each order High setup costs Manufacture of co-products
For in-house production of materials, it is generally best to use standard price control.

Cost Debit / Credit (Product-Related COC)
Figure 98: Cost Debit / Credit (Product-Related COC)
Settlement is period-oriented based on the costs of the product cost collector. In this case, there is no order settlement for the individual process order. The process order also does not have any costs or any settlement rule in this case. It makes sense to use product-related COC for the following: Make-to-stock production Repetitive manufacturing and mass manufacturing Sales order controlling only in profitability analysis

Exercise 36: Order Settlement Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: • Settle a process order and analyze the settlement result
Business Example After a goods receipt was posted for a material, the relevant process order must be exempted of actual costs (debits) so that the order can later be deleted. This credit to the process order is an internal activity of Controlling. It is executed using the “Settlement” function. This function is usually executed monthly in a background program. As the production scheduler or foreman, you do not have to execute any activities here. You should be aware, however, that this function is to be executed before the orders are deleted.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •
Describe the process of process order reorganization
Business Example Process orders whose processing was completed in your area (goods receipt posted) must be archived and deleted after a period defined in Customizing, to ensure that the database volume is limited and does not go on increasing over time. The system administrator in your company archives and deletes process orders. He or she usually starts several background jobs per month for this purpose. In this unit, you will get an overview of the process and requirements for order reorganization.
Order Closing: Archiving and Deleting
Figure 99: Order Closing: Archiving and Deleting
The process order must be settled before it can be archived and deleted. When setting up the system for production in compliance with GMP, you can also define that as a prerequisite for order archiving and deletion a batch record must be created and approved.

The physical deletion/archiving takes place after some requirements have been checked. You can delete orders individually or in mass deletion. You can use the retrieval function to display archived and deleted orders in the ECC System. The deletion and archiving functions for the process order use the central ECC System archiving tools. This enables you to use various different archiving systems. In archive administration, you can create and display an index list of archived process orders.

Lesson: Archiving and Deleting
Archiving and Deleting: Prerequisites
Figure 101: Archiving and Deleting: Prerequisites
You can only archive an order if you have activated the deletion flag manually or automatically (that is, using a background report). • •
Prerequisite: The order is delivered or technically completed, there are no payables or Future change records from confirmations; cost balance = 0. To be able to settle a process order, it must have the status Delivered (DLV) or Technically completed (TABG).
• •
If production is in compliance with GMP, the batch record for the order must also be archived (status BRAR Batch record archived). The deletion flag can be removed.
Once a first residence time is over, the deletion flag is activated for orders marked for deletion in a background job. • •
Prerequisite: The deletion flag must be set. Once the deletion flag has been set, you can no longer change the order.
After a second residence time has passed, the orders are taken from the corresponding files in the ECC System and are transferred to the respective operating system. When the files have been transferred successfully, the data is deleted in the ECC System. •

Process management is the interface between PP-PI and the systems involved in process control. Due to its flexible structure, it can be linked to fully automated, partially automated, and manually operated lines. Process management includes the following functions: •
Communication with the process control level using the PI-PCS interface or using PI sheets: –
•
Receiving control recipes with process instructions from released process orders. The process instructions define, for example, the process steps to be executed and the process data to be confirmed (using process messages) in detail. – Manual processing: Displaying control recipes in natural language in the form of PI sheets that can be displayed and maintained on the screen by the process operator. – Automatic processing: Transferring control recipes to process control systems. Data is exchanged using the PI-PCS interface. . – Receiving, checking, and sending process messages with actual process data from the PI sheet or the process control system. Data is exchanged from the external System using the PI-PCS interface.

Process instructions are structures used to transfer data or instructions from ECC process manufacturing to process control. They are assigned to the phases of the master recipe or process order, and to the control recipe destinations (in Customizing). Users define process instructions according to the target system requirements. The process management groups the process instructions to control recipes and transfers these to the control recipe destinations that are stored in the process order. Control recipes contain all the information that process control needs to execute a process order. The system creates one control recipe for each control recipe destination of a process order.

This example shows the process instructions for the master recipe Fertilizer, liquid, form SX. Process instructions that are specific to the production process of the fertilizer are maintained for the phases of the recipe. Process instruction INSTR has been defined for the first phase 110. It contains a process-specific instruction text for the PI sheet. The control recipe destination FE is assigned to the phases of the recipe. Process instructions that are specific to the control recipe destination and are always required in certain positions of a control recipe or PI sheet, regardless of a particular production process or master recipe, are maintained for the control recipe destination (in Customizing). When you create the control recipe, the process instructions are generated in the specified positions of the control recipe.

The graphic shows process message creation using the actual quantity recording of material T-RF700 as an example. The message contains the order number, date and time, material number, charged material quantity, and the unit of measure. When creating the PI sheet, the system determines the order number, the material number, and the unit of measure. When you enter the actual quantity, the system automatically records the date and time. When you enter the charged actual quantity, the process message data is complete. The message can then be sent to the appropriate message destination. This would be the Goods issue posting function module in our example.

Exercise 37: Process Instructions, Control Recipes, and Process Messages Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: • Name the two alternative maintenance options for process instructions • Describe for each maintenance option how a control recipe is created in a process order • Describe for each maintenance option how the information of process instructions is displayed in a PI sheet • Describe how process messages are created • Name the message destination types that are available • Name important predefined message categories in the standard system
Business Example You will become familiar with the two alternative maintenance options for process instructions. For each of the maintenance options, you examine one example scenario as follows: You will analyze the assignment and maintenance of process instructions for a master recipe. You will create a process order that is based on this master recipe and have another look at the process instructions. In particular, you will analyze the process instructions that are automatically generated when the control recipe is created. You will maintain the PI sheet. You will compare the objects in the PI sheet with the process instructions in the process order. You will then analyze the process messages that the system created while you maintained the PI sheet.
Task 1: 1.
You will name and describe the two alternative maintenance options for process instructions. ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ Continued on next page

Control Recipe Transfer

2005/Q2

591
Unit 9: Principle of Process Management (II)
SCM340
Depending on the destination type, control recipe transfer can be triggered in the following ways: • •
As soon as at least one control recipe has been created for a destination, process management transfers all existing control recipes for this destination. Process management informs a destination about each control recipe created. Depending on the destination, individual control recipes or all existing control recipes can be requested.
From a technical point of view, communication between PP-PI and process control systems is carried out using a tRFC (transactional remote function call). The communication partners transfer data using Common Program Interface Communication (CPI-C) based on TCP/IP. Thanks to the RFC technology, the application is completely free of communication handling on the ECC level. On the control computer level, SAP supports the automatic generation of a C-coded RFC partner program with a code generator. The function module in the ECC System with which data is to be exchanged is used as the basis for the generation of the partner program. The generated program must be compiled and linked in the control computer and can then be used for the actual application as an Application Program Interface (API). The tRFC ensures that each call is executed only once. The sequence of the calls is not changed. If the target system is not active when the call takes place, the RFC is repeated according to a repetition rate or duration that can be set by the user.

You can use process data requests to specify that process control is to send process messages with actual process data. You specify the following: • •
The message category of the message to be sent The information to be conveyed in the message
Using process message subscriptions, you specify: • •
The events that must be reported to process management by process control The message category to be used to report an event
Example: Simple Scenario
Figure 118: Example: Simple Scenario
The graphic shows an example of how data can be transferred between PP-PI and process control in a simple process. Since the process in the sample scenario only allows for a small number of variants, it can be represented on the control side using relatively fixed algorithms, for which you can set a few parameters. In the control recipe, PP-PI transfers information on the control algorithms to be executed as well as the parameters to be used. The resources and materials are always the same and thus need not be specified. The process messages to be transferred from process control to PP-PI are not specified in the control recipe. Instead, the messages to be created and sent are defined for each control algorithm on the control side.

Unit 9: Principle of Process Management (II)

Example: Complex Scenario
Figure 119: Example: Complex Scenario
The graphic shows an example of how data can be transferred between PP-PI and process control in a complex process. The process control system used in this example not only contains a number of control sequences but also resource and material data. The control sequences can be configured flexibly, thus enabling the production of a large number of variants. In the control recipe, PP-PI transfers information on the phases to be executed as well as on the resources and materials to be used. It also transfers further phase-related parameters if required. In addition to the process parameters, the control recipe contains process message subscriptions and process data requests specifying the messages that are to be sent when the control recipes are executed as well as the message characteristics. The process control system creates exactly these requested messages and sends them to PP-PI.

The browser-based PI sheet is made up of a header and the individual phases of the process order. The header and all the phases are created immediately after the PI sheet is created and they can be opened and closed. Each phase can in turn be divided into a number of sections. The appearance of a long text within a phase marks the beginning of a new section, which ends before the next long text. All the functions can be accessed via the context menu. There is also a menu bar in the header of the PI sheet that provides the functions relating to the entire PI sheet. To display the context menu, position the cursor on the relevant object or field and click the right mouse button. You can also call up the context menu with the shift + F10 key combination.

Via the menu bar in the header of the PI sheet Via the context menu
Functions that relate to individual process steps only appear in the context menu of the respective process step if it is actually relevant to that step. For example, the function Display message only appears in those process steps for which a process message was defined. Which functions are available in the context menu also depends on whether you are displaying or changing a PI sheet.

Signature Process for Process Steps
Figure 131: Signature Process for Process Steps
From SAP R/3 Enterprise SCM Extension 1.10 (EA_APPL 110), you can define a signature strategy for each process step, to be performed asynchronously. The last asynchronous signature in the PI sheet triggers the function Complete PI sheet. With an asynchronous signature, you have the option of only confirming actual data after one or more other people have confirmed the entries with their signature. Example: The process operator enters values during production and validates these entries with his signature. However, the system does not create any process messages yet, since the entries must be checked and signed by the shift manager at a later date. In the meantime, the process operator can process another step of the PI sheet. Only the input field that is waiting to be signed is blocked for further entries until the shift manager has signed it. If the values entered by the process operator are not permitted, the shift manager can terminate the signature process. After this, the input fields on the PI sheet will be ready for input again. New values can be entered. Only after all the required signatures in the signature strategy have been entered are the process messages relating to the process step created.

Figure 132: User Change in the PI Sheet
From SAP R/3 Enterprise SCM Extension 1.10 (EA_APPL 110), you can change between an anonymous service user and a specific user during the processing of the PI sheet or the cockpit. A service user is a user that is available to an anonymous, larger group of users. The service user only has display rights for the PI sheet or cockpit. In the header of the PI sheet or cockpit, you will always see the name of the user currently logged on to the system. To change from the service user to a specific user, you choose Log on. To change back to the service user again, you choose Log off. An advantage: When you change between the service user and a specific user, you do not have to log off the SAP ECC System.

Lesson: SAP OPC Data Access Lesson Overview This lesson informs you about the concept of SAP OPC Data Access.
Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •
Explain the basic concepts of OPC and SAP ODA.
Business Example You want to use SAP OPC Data Access to realize the exchange of data points between SAP ECC and process control systems from different manufacturers.
OPC
Figure 134: OPC
OPC stands for OLE for Process Control and Openness, Productivity and Connectivity. OPC is a standard that uses the COM/DCOM technology to define manufacturer-independent interfaces for industrial areas of application. The OPC standard was designed especially for the process control level. OPC servers enable you to access different data sources (for example, process control systems, memory programmable controls, temperature sensors) and thus provide process data which can be requested by OPC clients. SAP ECC, with the component SAP ODA, is an OPC client that can communicate with OPC servers. This considerably simplifies the data exchange between applications.

Lesson: SAP OPC Data Access
OPC clients and OPC servers are currently PC-based systems on which a Microsoft operating system runs. You can get further information on the OPC Foundation Internet sites http://www.opcfoundation.org and www.opceurope.org.
OPC Specifications and the Scope of SAP ODA
Figure 135: OPC Specifications and the Scope of SAP ODA
SAP R/3 Enterprise SCM Extension 1.10 (EA_APPL 110) provides you with the componentSAP OPC Data Access (SAP ODA). It supports the data exchange between SAP ECC and the process control systems of different manufacturers. You can use SAP ODA to automatically write data points and events in the SAP ECC System from the process control level, or to receive them on request and write values. SAP ODA is based on the industry standard OPC (OLE for Process Control), which defines manufacturer-independent interfaces for process control technology. OPC servers provide process data that can be requested by OPC clients. SAP ECC is an OPC client that communicates with OPC servers. One part of SAP ODA is the SAP ODA Connector, which is installed on a PC outside the SAP System. To use SAP ODA, you do not have to make any additional developments or use any middleware. In contrast to the existing PI-PCS interface, for SAP ODA you do not need to have the individual process control systems certified by SAP. Therefore the installation and configuration overhead is very small.

SAP ODA currently supports the following OPC server functions: •
OPC Data Access, which means –
•
Synchronous reading and writing of values from any and into any OPC Data Access servers – Subscribing value changes from OPC Data Access servers OPC Alarms/Events, which means –
Subscribing events from OPC Alarms/Events servers and confirming the events
The OPC functions supported by SAP ODA provide a general interface that is available for all SAP applications. This interface is currently being used in the Production Planning - Process Industry (PP-PI) area.

Lesson: SAP OPC Data Access
SAP OPC Data Access
Figure 137: SAP OPC Data Access
The communication between the SAP ECC System, SAP ODA Connector, OPC Server, and a subordinate system works as follows: The SAP ECC System uses RFC to send, for example, a data request to the SAP ODA Connector, which acts as an RFC Server from the point of view of the SAP ECC System. The Connector converts the RFC call into an OPC-compliant call and sends it via COM to the relevant OPC Server. From the OPC point of view, it is acting as an OPC Client. The data requested is sent back the same way via COM to the Connector, and from there via RFC to the SAP ECC System. DCOM mechanisms are currently not supported by SAP ODA, and so the SAP ODA Connector and the OPC Server must be run on the same computer. However, it is possible to install any number of SAP ODA Connectors on different computers.

Structure of the Batch Where-Used List
Figure 143: Structure of the Batch Where-Used List
The batch where-used list documents a batch's path through the enterprise. The batch where-used list is used within the scope of product liability. This report enables you to find batches which, for example, must be recalled for quality reasons. You use top-down analysis to determine which batches a batch came from, and bottom-up analysis to determine which batches a batch went into. The batch where-used list is structured on the basis of material movement data for materials subject to batch management. It also considers transfers from charge to charge, stock transfers in the two-step procedure, and purchase orders (including subcontracting orders). You can start the batch where-used list from the batch management menu or from the Batch Information Cockpit. If you want to use the batch where-used list, for example, to evaluate information from the sales or warehouse management areas, you can either use the pick-up list in the batch management menu or the batch related objects selection expansion in the Batch Information Cockpit. From the pick-up list, you access the batch where-used list by means of various SD documents. Display options: • •

You can specify that a process order can only be created if an approved recipe exists. The order data is therefore locked and cannot be changed. The approval procedure is implemented in the ECC Engineering Change Management. You use the material identification function to check whether the material that was picked for the process order is completely available at the production line and will be used in the correct sequence. You can exchange information about the product quality and analysis values between the production plant and the laboratory or the quality assurance system. You use ECC Quality Management to do this.You can use the inspection results for batch specification by automatically copying them to the characteristics of the batch produced. You use the material reconciliation function to analyze and verify required quantities and yield at the end of the production process. With regard to product liability, the batch record contains all planned and actual data for the production process of a batch. You can activate the digital signature function to execute certain business operations in the ECC System.

The digital signature enables you to meet the security requirements laid down in the guidelines on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) with regard to the execution of these transactions. The digital signature ensures that: • •
•
A transaction can only be carried out by users with a special authorization The user identification is unique and forgery-proof. Depending on the signature method, the ECC user name and ECC password can be used to sign, or an external security software for signature identification (for example, using a card reader) can be connected via an interface The name of the user is documented together with the signed transaction and the date and time, and cannot be manipulated afterwards
Depending on the application, the user can or must also enter a comment on the digital signature If a transaction must be signed by several users, you can combine individual signatures of different user groups into application-specific signature strategies

Linking External Security Products
Figure 148: Linking External Security Products
The Secure Store and Forwards (SSF) interface is used to realize digital signatures for the signature method User Signature with External Security Product in the ECC System. SSF allows you to link several external security products with different identification procedures. By doing this, digital signatures can be used as independent units for the protection of data and documents if they are saved to data mediums or are transferred via communication links. The system supports, for example, the identification and signature execution using chip cards and files. The user-specific data (such as the password and private key) is stored on the smart card or encoded on the file. After the users identify themselves, document data is transferred to the security product. The digital signature is created on the basis of this data and is returned to the ECC System.

You can use authorization groups to restrict the authorization to execute digital signatures as follows: • •
•
For users with different areas of responsibility, you define different authorization groups. In the user master record, you assign each user the authorization for the authorization group corresponding to his or her area of responsibility (authorization object C_SIGN_BGR). You define individual signatures that must be entered by users of a certain authorization group and use them in the signature strategies for a business transaction.
The authorization groups are not taken into account if a transaction is signed by an individual signature without a signature strategy.
Signature Strategy: Individual Signatures
Figure 155: Signature Strategy: Individual Signatures
An individual signature is a digital signature that must be executed by a certain user group. Individual signatures of different user groups are combined in signature strategies that are carried out when a transaction is signed. An individual signature is a partial step in a signature process. If you only want to use one signature without a signature strategy to sign a transaction, you do not need to define individual signatures.

Defining Signature Strategies
Figure 156: Defining Signature Strategies
To create a new signature strategy, proceed as follows: • • • •
Enter a key and a description for the signature strategy. Assign the individual signatures to be used. Specify the sequence of the individual signatures. Define the release statuses, which specify which signature or signatures can complete the signature process.

You assign the individual signatures that must or can be executed when carrying out a signature strategy. You can assign the same individual signature several times or assign several different individual signatures with the same authorization group. When executing the signature strategy, each user of the authorization group may only execute one signature.
Signature Strategy: Define Signature Sequence
Figure 158: Signature Strategy: Define Signature Sequence
You determine the sequence in which the individual signatures of a signature strategy must be executed. You specify the signature sequence by selecting the predecessors for each individual signature in a sequence matrix.

Signature Strategy: Define Release Statuses
Figure 159: Signature Strategy: Define Release Statuses
You define one or more alternative release statuses for a signature strategy. For each release status, you also specify a combination of individual signatures with which the signature process can be completed. A signature process is not complete until all signatures for a release status have been executed. If you do not define a release status for a signature strategy, all individual signatures of the signature strategy must be executed in every signature process. You define a release status by selecting the required signature combination in the overview of the possible signature combinations.

For reporting purposes, you can search for digital signatures based on a number of different criteria, such as: • • •
Signatory Creation date and time Object type for which the signature was executed (for example, engineering change order or inspection lot)
You obtain a list of the objects for which digital signatures have been executed. You can navigate to the objects from the list and display all of the signatures for them.

•
• •
2005/Q2
You can specify that a user must execute a digital signature to be able to carry out particular business transactions in the ECC System. The digital signature ensures that a user is uniquely identified and that the user name is documented together with the signed transaction, date, and time, and cannot be forged. You can choose between the signature methods System signature with authorization by ECC user ID and ECC password and User signature with external security product. The SSF interface enables the linking of various external security products supporting different identification procedures. You can define signature strategies containing individual signatures of different user groups.

Once the procedure has been released, the edited recipe is marked as Approved recipe.
Recipe Approval (II)
Figure 163: Recipe Approval (II)
The engineering change orders of ECC Engineering Management are the basis for the approval procedure. The change process using an engineering change request comprises three main steps: Creating an engineering change request Checking an engineering change request and converting it into an engineering change order Changing objects and completing the change For a master recipe marked with change type "With engineering change order", this process represents an approval procedure. Once the procedure has been released, the maintained recipe is marked as Approved recipe for the change period defined by the valid-from date of the change request. Recipes that have already been approved but are changed using another change order are considered as unapproved during the period between the conversion and release for the change period defined by the valid-from date. The approval procedure was also implemented for inspection plans. You can define that a digital signature is required for particular process steps, such as to convert a change request into a change order and release a change order.

You can use the Withdraw approval function in the process order to reset the system statuses APG and APRC. The system status APNG Approval not granted is set again. This means that all process order data may now be changed again. To reset the APNG status, you must carry out the Individual approval function in the process order. The order is then reassigned the APG status and the status APGS Single approval granted. The order data is now again locked against changes. You can specify that a special authorization is required to carry out the Withdraw approval and Individual approval functions. You can do so by prohibiting or permitting these transactions for certain user statuses.

Handling Unit
Figure 166: Handling Unit
A handling unit is always a combination of materials and packaging materials. Packaging materials are materials that close or hold together the packed goods. Furthermore, the packed goods can be packed in or on the packaging material. The packaging material can be a load carrier. Some of the most important packaging materials are boxes, containers, wire baskets, and pallets.
Handling Unit Management • •
Control of logistical processes using handling units Instead of visualizing the movements of individual materials, the movement of the handling units that contain these materials is visualized
You can use handling units in all processes in the supply chain. Handling units contain all inventory management information for the materials packed in them and managed in inventory management. In HU-managed storage locations, all goods movements are performed based on input from the corresponding HUs, and inventory management takes place via the handling units. If you do not work with HU-managed storage locations, you can work with handling units (without inventory information) in delivery and in transportation. In an HU-managed storage location, materials can only be managed in HUs. Packaged and unpackaged materials cannot be managed at the same storage location. If you unpack a material from an HU, the stock of the material is posted at a storage location that is not HU-managed.

Unit 11: Production in Compliance with GMP
SCM340
The movability of the handling unit can be restricted in an active quality check. Changes to the stock category due to a successful quality check take place via a posting change of the handling unit. Reporting is available. Although a handling unit always represents the same unit, you can change it by repacking it. A handling unit has a history that describes each business transaction affecting it.
Production Supply
Figure 167: Production Supply
This function visualizes the typical physical material flow from the central storage location to the production lines, resources, and so on. The production supply can be organized using handling units (HUs). This allows you to more easily direct raw materials in production.

Manual Picking with Process Orders
Figure 168: Manual Picking with Process Orders
You use this function to manually enter packed HUs. You can do the following: • • •
Pack each batch of a material in one or more HUs. Pack several batches of a material or several materials in an HU Pack HUs in other HUs
The following activities are performed: •
• •
You enter the materials, batches, and quantities that will be picked for the process order. The system checks the batches you have entered to see if they meet the required selection criteria. The system uses the selection criteria defined for batch determination for the check. The components that are assigned to the process order but are not yet picked (open reservations) are listed so you can check them. You pack the materials in HUs and can also pack the HUs in higher-level HUs.
It is a good idea to have picking for a process order take place via a separate PI sheet. For the actual production, a second PI sheet should be generated.

In production, you can check the product quality at the following points in time: • •
During the production process When the product is delivered to the warehouse
Inspection Lot
Figure 174: Inspection Lot
The functions of quality inspection of the ECC System are fully integrated into the entire logistics process. They affect all business activities (such as product planning, production, procurement, sales). A quality inspection can only be carried out if an inspection lot is created. Inspection lots document the entire inspection process, from inspection specifications over inspection results recording, up to the usage decision. They can be created automatically or manually for the corresponding application. During in-process inspection taking place in parallel to the production process, the inspection lot is either created manually or automatically from within the process order when you release the order. The inspection requests are maintained for the operations or phases of the master recipe the process order is based on. They are then transferred to the inspection lot. Inspection results are recorded for the inspection characteristics of the inspection lot when the process order is carried out. In other tasks, such as a goods receipt (post-process inspection), the inspection lot is created on the basis of an inspection plan maintained in ECC QM. Inspection plans are master data of ECC QM.

In an in-process quality inspection, the inspection lot is created on the basis of the master recipe on which the the process order is based. In the master recipe, you maintain inspection specifications in the form of inspection characteristics for the corresponding operations or phases. You can either create the inspection lot manually or the system creates it automatically when you release the process order. For the system to be able to do so, you must activate an inspection type In-process insp. for production orders in the material master of the material to be produced. The inspection characteristics for the operations or phases of the master recipe are then transferred to the corresponding inspection operations of the inspection lot. Later, you can also add unplanned inspection characteristics from within the process order.

Lesson: Integration with Quality Management
The recording of inspection results is carried out by recording the inspection results for the inspection values assigned to the inspection lot. After the results of an inspection are recorded, the inspection characteristics must be valuated. Valuation can be carried out automatically or manually. Different kinds of valuation procedures are available for this. Depending on the valuation, the characteristics are accepted or rejected. Quality inspection is completed when you have made a usage decision for the entire inspection lot.

2005/Q2
Inspection results can be recorded by sending process messages from a process control system or a PI sheet. From within the PI sheet, you can directly navigate to QM Inspection Results Recording. An interface is available to link external laboratory information systems (LIMS) to ECC Quality Management. ECC QM uses this interface to transfer process instructions to the LIMS, which, in return, sends inspection results back to ECC QM. You can also use the corresponding transactions of ECC QM to record inspection results during the production process.

Exercise 44: Material Reconciliation Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: • Perform a material reconciliation
Business Example Using the Material reconciliation function, you can ensure that there are no invalid quantity inconsistencies with regard to the materials involved in the process. The basis for material reconciliation is, for example, the goods movements for the process order. After all goods movements have been made for your process order you will call up the material reconciliation function for your order in your last PI sheet. You will get an overview of the information that material reconciliation provides.
Task 1: Maintain the PI sheet for control recipe destination Tablet press for your order. 1.
First, maintain phases 410 and 420.
2.
Maintain phase 430. Report a produced quantity of 100 000 PC and execute your signature to confirm the entry. Caution: Do not maintain the PI sheet any further for the time being.
Task 2: In a second session, select the process messages that the system created while you maintained the current PI sheet and send them. Note: Message category PROD results in a goods receipt posting for the batch of material T-HTB2## produced.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •
•
Describe how you can use batch derivation to transfer values from batch attributes in the batch where-used list for component batches to batches of a finished product Name the settings required in Customizing and in the application
Business Example You want to use the batch derivation function to transfer batch master data and classification data from component batches that went into batches you produced.
Uses of the Batch Derivation

SCM340
Lesson: Batch Derivation
You can use batch derivation to transfer, offer for selection, or display, batch master data and classification data from component batches that went into batches you produced. It always applies that: • • •
Component batches can be senders of data (components B, D, G) Produced batches can be receivers of data (components B, A) A component can be a sender and a receiver (component B)
To be able to derive batch data, you must have set up the batch where-used list. The BaWU synchron.postng indicator must be set in the Customizing of the batch where-used list. The derivation functions along the batch where-used list, which means that only those component batches are used that went into the batch produced. In the evaluation of the batch where-used list, both existing and planned goods movements are considered. The batch derivation is performed with the help of the condition technique. You maintain the receiver-sender relationships in the strategy records of the batch derivation application or in the BOM for selected BOM items. Restrictions: • •
It is not possible to transfer from a produced batch to a component batch. In the standard system you cannot make derivations in connection with collective orders, because the batch where-used list cannot evaluate the links.

Derivation direction: Depending on the actual case, it makes sense to start the derivation of the charge data from a component or a product. However, the values are always transferred from the component to the product - that is, synchronous with the direction of the quantity flow: • •

Lesson: Batch Derivation
Along with the derivation callup points named along the supply chain, you can specify that derivations can be performed manually, independently of a fixed callup point. It is also possible to define user-specific callup points for derivations. A user exit (EXIT_SAPLDRVN_00) or the BADI DERIVATION are available for you to determine the sender. You start the manual derivation with a transaction (DVMAN) that is located in the SAP Standard Menu of the batch management in the Enterprise release.
Application Example: Filling

The derivation of batch data can be used in the following scenarios, among others: •
•
2005/Q2
Filling: A batch of a material is produced and filled into different containers before the results of the quality inspection are available. If the bulk batch is specified, these results are to be transferred to the container batches. This request can be represented by a push derivation, whereby the specifications of a batch are transferred to a number of receiver batches.

The derivation of batch data can be used in the following scenarios, among others: •
•
752
Pick and pack activities: The expiry data of the unpacked material is to be transferred to the packed material. The label printing for packing the final product is usually done before the expiry date can be determined via the goods receipt from production. The derivation can be used to determine the expiry date before the goods receipt from production and thus printed on the packing label. The derivation can also be used to check whether the expiry date on the packing is not after the date on the incoming components.

Activate the derivation. For releases before 4.7, you can alternatively start a report to activate the batch derivation. Maintain the number ranges for the derivation numbers and condition record numbers for the number range objects DRVNO (derivation number) and KONR (condition record number). By maintaining the condition technique you define which criteria the system uses to create condition records for the batch derivations. Specify the derivation callup points and the derivation: –

Dynamic derivation for simulation: In the dynamic derivation there is no transfer of attributes to the receiver batch(es). The derivation is simulated to check the batch attributes, for example. The result of the derivation, or the values, are only displayed. The derivation is saved, but the receiver batch(es) are not automatically changed. Static derivation: In a static derivation, the values are transferred from sender batches to receiver batches in accordance with the receiver-sender relationships and the rules of the derivation. In the static derivation there is a transfer of the determined attributes of the sender batch(es) to the receiver batch(es). Control derivation window: You use this field to control whether the result of the derivation is displayed in a separate window. This window informs you that there has been a derivation and whether any errors or warnings appeared. You can also branch from this window to the detailed display of the derivation. The window also allows you to interrupt the operation that triggered the derivation (for example, save, release).

Condition Record Maintenance for Senders
Figure 195: Condition Record Maintenance for Senders
To maintain the sender condition records (transaction DVS1), you select the condition type defined in Customizing or a suitable key combination, such as material number, material type or receiver and sender material, and material type of sender. In the first case you enter a material number for the material that will function as the receiver. In the data maintenance you store all the fields (batch master record) or batch characteristics that are to be transferred automatically from the sender to the receiver. For example, you can select the expiry date (field: VFDAT or LOBM_VFDAT), the manufacturing date (HSDAT or a batch characteristic defined as an object characteristic ZLOBM_HSDAT), the usage decision code (LOBM_UDCODE) or a freely definable characteristic (such as ZBM_LAND). To delete condition records, you set the deletion indicator. If you set the push derivation indicator, the system performs a push derivation. The indicator can only be set for condition records for which the sender is not also the receiver.

Condition Record Maintenance for the BOM
Figure 196: Condition Record Maintenance for the BOM
You can use the condition record maintenance for BOMs (transaction DVCO) to maintain receiver and sender condition records at the same time. A prerequisite is that both a sender and receiver search profile must be assigned to the derivation callup point in Customizing. The condition record maintenance on the BOM basis enables you to differentiate the attributes being transferred when you are using a material in different manufacturing BOMs. On the one hand, it may be necessary, for example, to transfer different attributes of the same sender for different BOMs when manufacturing a header material, while on the other hand you want to exclude the transfer of an attribute for this BOM item within this BOM.

Steps for condition maintenance using BOMs: •
• •
•
Select the appropriate BOM alternative and usage for a derivation callup point and the header material. For the derivation callup points Release process/production order and Goods receipt for process/production order, you can derive onto a by-product or co-product. In the selection area, the header material of the BOM and all the components and there related characteristics are listed. To create the receiver and sender relationships, you select appropriate attributes in the attribute pool - meaning fields and characteristics, which you want to assign to the receiver and sender(s). You use drag and drop from the attribute area to transfer the attributes to the receivers and senders. From the tree structure of the selection area, you can double-click on the receiver material in the detail area to display the rules on which the derivation is based.

Initial screen of the derivation monitor (1): You can use the derivation monitor to evaluate derivations on the basis of different criteria. •
• • •
You can enter the derivation monitor from the receiver material and its batches or from the sender material and its batches. You have the option of selecting derivations for batches after their expiry or manufacturing dates. You can also restrict the selection by choosing the derivation callup point, the creation date, or by entering the derivation number(s). You can use the derivation status to search for all the derivations in which errors or warnings occurred. You can save the criteria on which you want to base your search as variants.
Selection result in the derivation monitor (2): •
The selection result displays the header information for the derivation - the receiver material, the derivation number with the callup point and status of the derivation, the derived attributes, and information, warning and error messages.
When a derivation is performed for the first time, it can have one of the following three statuses: •
Derivation OK: The derivation was performed without any errors; performed with warning
You can manually confirm a non-validated derivation in the derivation monitor. Then the status changes: OK, data change, manually confirmed. Warning, (data change) manually confirmed. Error (data change) manually confirmed.

Cross-Application Process Flow (Recap.) Figure 198: Cross-Application Process Flow (Recap.)
Process order management represents a central part of a complex process chain ranging from a requirement (planned or customer requirement) through to the goods issue of finished products. Process order management controls the entire process of in-house production of products. Process order execution is, for example, integrated with the functions of capacity requirements planning, costing, and inventory management. In addition, there are links and interfaces to ECC Quality Management, external laboratory information systems (LIMS), and process control systems.

Lesson: Overview of Planning Functions and Planning Elements
Planning with the functions of the component SAP ECC Production preparation, execution, and control are always carried out using ECC functions. They are, however, dependent on the production type. Such functions are costing, release, material staging, confirmation, goods movements and settlement. For other functions (such as scheduling, availability check, machine commitment), you can choose between the two SAP components. The master and transaction data (planned orders, production and process orders, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, stocks, ...) are usually exchanged (mirrored) between the two SAP components through the “Core Interface” (CIF). Specific events lead to the transfer of data from ECC to SCM (APO) (release, confirmation, goods receipt) and vice versa. Sales orders are generally entered in ECC and then transferred to SCM (APO). Planned orders can be created by material requirements planning (MRP) in ECC or in SCM with •
Supply Network Planning (SNP) in APO. This allows for cross-plant planning in a long-term time horizon across the entire supply and procurement chain. Here, purchase requisitions of stock transfers (distribution), planned orders (in-house production) and purchase requisitions (external procurement) are created for the relevant production plant.
•
Production planning and detailed scheduling in APO (PP). This creates planned orders and purchase requisitions in a defined, short-term period (production horizon) in the production plant.

For the Cetepharm tablet production, your company first manufactures acetylsalicylic acid. Together with other ingredients, it is used as the active ingredient for the Cetepharm tablet production. The tablets are packaged into various sizes and quantities.
Planning Strategy
Figure 201: Planning Strategy
A planning strategy represents business procedures for planning production quantities and dates using sales orders and planned independent requirements. The components ECC and SCM(APO) support various planning strategies. To plan the production of the packaged Cetepharm-N tablets, your company chooses the planning strategy “Planning with final assembly”. Reasons for using this planning strategy: • • •
A planned independent requirement drives the manufacturing process. If the sales orders are not covered by the planned independent requirements, they are adjusted and in this way the demand program as well. In this way, manufacturers can quickly react to sales orders.
The Cetepharm-N packaged tablets have a multi-level BOM structure. The production takes place in 3 stages.

Multi-level MRP
Figure 202: Multi-level MRP
MRP analyzes the demand from sales orders and planned independent requirements. If stock and the planned receipts are not enough to cover the demand, a planned order is created. It consists of a suggested order quantity, a start date, and a finish date. By exploding the bill of material of the planned order, dependent requirements are created, for which, in turn, the requirements situation is analyzed. If there is a shortage, a planned order is created to cover the relevant dependent requirements. In this way, multi-level planning plans a complete BOM structure. The following steps are carried out per material for MRP across the entire product structure:

You can evaluate the planning situation or the result of a planning run using the stock/requirements list or MRP list in the SAP ECC System. You can use individual or collective access for this. The MRP list represents the result of the last planning run and therefore has a static nature. • • • • •
Changes that were made after the planning run are not visible. You can control whether an MRP list is to be created during the planning run. The MRP list is divided into different planning segments. Changes between two planning runs are not displayed. Error messages are stored in a log.
The stock/requirements list is a dynamic list created by directly reading the MRP elements. Therefore, it always shows the current stock/requirements situation (stocks, requirements, and receipts). •

The two lists have the same basic structure: • • •
The MRP controller’s worklist is displayed to the left in the form of a tree (optional). Above the list, there is the header with the material number and material master details. The list contains the individual MRP elements and the corresponding available quantities.
User-specific settings enable you to tailor the lists according to your own personal needs. You can convert individual planned orders to process orders from this list.
Structure of Planned Orders (ECC)
Figure 204: Structure of Planned Orders (ECC)
The planned requirements quantity and date of availability are defined in the planned order header. The component overview of the planned order provides information about the planned material components (dependent requirements). If the planned order was scheduled via the recipe, it also contains the capacity and scheduling data.

Scheduling in Production Planning (ECC)
Figure 205: Scheduling in Production Planning (ECC)
Production planning knows two scheduling methods that are used for different purposes and have different results: • •
Planned order scheduling in MRP (only calculates basic dates) Lead time scheduling (calculates production dates based on basic dates). Only lead time scheduling calculates operation-related dates and capacity requirements.
Lead time scheduling is used for: • • •
Order scheduling (process order, production order) Recipe/routing scheduling Scheduling in PS and PM

Planned Order Dates (ECC)
Figure 206: Planned Order Dates (ECC)
Planned orders have an order start date (OS), an order finish date (OF), and a planned opening date (PO). The planned opening date is the date on which a planned order should be converted into a purchase requisition or process order. It is used as a selection criterion for the collective conversion. The lead time between the opening date and the order start date is to allow sufficient time for carrying out certain administrative steps that may be required.

Planned Order Conversion (ECC)
Figure 207: Planned Order Conversion (ECC)
The MRP controller uses collective conversion to convert the planned orders of a product structure one after another along the time axis. Within the entire product structure, only those planned orders are offered for conversion whose planned opening dates are within an opening period to be defined. The system determines whether in-house production or external procurement is required using the procurement type and other control elements (for example, special procurement key) defined in the material master record. You can specify that collective conversion depends on the result of the material availability check (in the same way as order release).

Order Creation with Planned Orders
Figure 208: Order Creation with Planned Orders
Planned orders are created in material requirements planning (ECC - MRP) or in planning in SCM(APO) (APO - PP/DS or APO - SNP). The process order data is provided automatically through the conversion of planned orders. Inspection data is copied from the master recipe when an inspection lot is generated, but not written in the process order. MRP controllers (buyers) can convert planned orders generated in planning (and purchase requisitions to purchase orders) both in SAP(APO) and in SAP ECC.

Conversion of Planned Orders to Process Orders (ECC)
Figure 209: Conversion of Planned Orders to Process Orders (ECC)
Planned orders can be converted completely or partially in individual or collective conversion in dialog mode. By converting a planned order to a process order, the planned order is deleted. The dependent requirements (material components) and capacity requirements that may exist are reallocated to the new process order. By changing an indicator, the dependent requirements are turned into a reservation. In partial conversion, the planned order still exists and is fixed.

Reservation
Figure 210: Reservation
Material reservations are created for all material components of type Stock material of a process order. Reservations are taken into account in requirements determination of MRP. A reservation item is valid for a plant or storage location of a plant. When you create a process order, the dependent requirements are converted to reservations during planned order conversion. When you manually create an order, the system reads the BOM for the material. For the order, the system creates a reservation for the required material components. In the process order, the reservation items are displayed in the form of the material list. The reservation items are contained in the corresponding stock/requirements lists as MRP elements. Material withdrawals for the order are carried out with reference to the reservation assigned. The requirements quantities of the reservation are reduced when the corresponding materials are withdrawn. The reservations for the material components of the process order are assigned to the process order account. Lists of reservations for the material or account assignment (process order) can be created.

Make-to-Order Production
Figure 212: Make-to-Order Production
In a make-to-order environment, the sales order drives the production and procurement processes. In addition, there are other variants of the make-to-order strategy which allow, for example, certain levels in the BOM structure to be planned and produced using planned independent requirements. This is done to deliver products within a reasonable time after a sales order is entered.

MRP in a Make-to-Order Environment (II)
Figure 215: MRP in a Make-to-Order Environment (II)
Assume you are using the make-to-order production strategy for material X, you have entered two sales orders, and MRP has been run. The stock/requirements list shows two individual customer segments, one for each sales order. Suppose you want one or more components in the bill of material to be produced or procured for the same sales order. You use the Individual/Collective indicator to specify this. You can find this indicator in the MRP4 view of the material master. If you enter 1, this indicates individual requirements. This means that the component is being produced or procured for the same requirement. A separate segment is created for each requirement. In the example, two sales order stock segments are maintained for material Y. If you enter 2, this indicates collective requirements. This means that the component is being produced or procured for several requirements (that is, not for any specific requirement). In the example, material Z is planned using a static lot-sizing procedure (exact lot size). The 5 units in stock and the requirements are balanced against each other. No individual customer segments are created. If you do not make an entry, this indicates that the component is planned in the same way as the product.

Unit 12: Appendix: Integration with Production Planning
SCM340
SAP SCM (APO) is a planning tool. SAP SCM (APO) enables integrated, global representation, planning, and monitoring of all processes in the logistics chain in detail. Open standard interfaces enable a smooth integration of SAP Systems, highly-integrated solution for ECC, legacy systems, and systems from other suppliers. SAP SCM(APO) is highly efficient with liveCache, an SAP technology for memory-resident data processing. Inventory management, sales order entry, and order execution and control (Manufacturing Execution) take place outside SCM(APO), for example, in the ECC System. SAP SCM(APO) can be used to generate and change orders (planned, production, or process orders), as the result of a planning run. The link between SCM(APO) and ECC can be obtained using Core Interface (CIF). The data is stored on both sides (SCM(APO) und ECC).

Lesson: Planning and Conversion of Planned Orders in the SAP SCM(APO) System
Specific business operations for planning and shop floor control in ECC and in SCM (APO) are based on master data from Lifecycle Data Management. Lifecycle data management is a key functional area in the mySAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. The master data objects from ECC and SCM(APO) are not identical. The ECC System is the leading system for the master data. The Core Interface (CIF) allows the relevant ECC master data to be mapped onto the corresponding master data in SCM(APO). Both the initial transfer of data as well as the supply of changes made to data (change transfer) in SCM(APO) are achieved via the CIF. The master data transferred from ECC and SCM(APO) is defined in an integration model in ECC.
Figure 218: Transaction Data for Planning and Production
The transaction data transferred from ECC and SCM(APO) is defined in an integration model in ECC. All ECC transaction data is represented in SCM(APO) by orders, which are distinguished using their ATP category.

Benefits of Detailed Production Planning in SCM(APO) • • • • • • • •
Detailed scheduling with simultaneous quantity and capacity planning (PP/DS) Material requirements planning to the time (hours, minutes), also for dependent requirements Multi-level availability check of materials and capacities (ATP) for sales orders Multi-level forward scheduling (pegging) Optimization algorithms during detailed scheduling (minimization of setup times, setup costs, delays, alternative resource selection, ...) Campaign planning Dynamic exception messages (alerts) Capacity categories: time, activity, volume, piece
Product View
Figure 219: Product View
The product view is a dynamic list that shows the current stock/requirements situation (planning situation for a specific product in a location). It thus is a versatile and flexible tool with which you can carry out a range of functions. Interactive planning can be carried out in the change mode. Individual planned orders can be converted to process orders. You can display and changeMRP elements.

Lesson: Planning and Conversion of Planned Orders in the SAP SCM(APO) System
After you save the results, the new, up-to-date situation is shown. It is possible to explicitly refresh the list if you want to display the current planning status again. Exceptional situations (alerts) are displayed dynamically and you can always navigate to the Alert Monitor. The basic structure of the product view contains a header with the product number at the top, an optional overview tree to the left, and the lists with the individual MRP elements and the quantities available at the bottom of the screen. Further tab pages contain additional information. You can personalize the display.
Planned Order Conversion in SCM(APO)
Figure 220: Planned Order Conversion in SCM(APO)
APO planned orders contain all production dates and dispatched, scheduled operations. APO planned orders can be transferred to ECC. The ECC planned orders resulting from this do not contain production dates nor capacity requirements. They only contain the basic dates and dependent requirements for all components (no matter whether they are APO-relevant or not). Based on these dependent requirements, all components are planned (in SCM(APO) or ECC).

Unit 12: Appendix: Integration with Production Planning
SCM340
APO planned orders should always be converted in SAP SCM(APO). If you set the conversion indicator in the APO planned order, a process order is created in ECC. This order takes on the production and operation dates determined in SCM(APO). The APO Core Interface assigns the order number of the process order created in ECC to the APO planned orderso that the APO planned order then appears as an APO process order.
Conversion of Planned Orders to Process Orders SCM(APO)
Figure 221: Conversion of Planned Orders to Process Orders SCM(APO)
APO planned orders can be converted in dialog mode in individual or collective conversion. To convert a single planned order to a process order, you only set an indicator in the product view. The order continues to exist in SAP SCM(APO). Order and operation dates are taken over to the ECC process order. By changing an indicator, the dependent requirements are turned into a reservation. Partial conversion was not implemented.

Answers 1.
Name the two options for integrating manufacturing and planning. Answer: •
Planning with the functions of the component SAP SCM (APO) Planning with the functions of the component SAP ECC
•
2.
Production preparation, execution, and control are always carried out using ECC functions. They are, however, dependent on the production type.
How can you evaluate the result of a planning run in the ECC System? Answer: You can evaluate the planning situation or the result of a planning run using the stock/requirements list or MRP list in the ECC System.
3.
Where can the planning results be evaluated in the SAP SCM(APO) System? Answer: You can evaluate the planning situation by using the product view in the SAP SCM(APO)System.
