SAP Best Practices


H84: Make-to-Stock (MTS) Production with Batch Management, WM & HUMPurposeThis scenario focuses on sales-order-independent production by MTS (make-to-stock) combined with a variety of logistic functions: Bulk material Scrap processing Missing parts management with workflow integration Warehouse Management / Lean WM (with FIFO material consumption and manufacturer part number processing

Process Flow Costing Run You can use the costing run to process mass data. The purpose is to compute prices for the selected materials that are then updated in the material master records as the standard price. The standard price is used to valuate goods movements within the company. The price update consists of two steps, marking the computed price and then releasing it. Marking the price means setting it as the future price for the material; releasing it means making it the current standard price. Before you can carry out marking, you have to allow marking for the company code involved. Sales order processing with availability check The system checks the incoming sales orders to determine whether the components are available. When doing so, both the available warehouse stock and the receipts from forecast planning are taken into account. Therefore, the system calculates the confirmed delivery date from the receipt date of the next (still unplanned) planned or production order. If a suitable receipt element is found, the sales order receives a confirmation date, and the order confirmation can be printed out. At the same time, the system compares the forecast details with the specific customer requirements. First of all, the system checks 40 days in the past, and then 20 days in the future to determine whether a planned independent requirement has not been allocated yet. Material Requirements Planning (MRP) The daily MRP run generates replenishment elements at each low-level code. The system automatically generates purchase requisitions for purchased parts within the 3-month opening period for the planned order. The system uses planned orders to implement receipt elements, which are also required. In general, the system also creates planned orders for parts that will be produced internally. When the planned opening date has been reached, these planned orders are converted to production orders by the production planner. As a result, the system reserves all of the required components. In the material master for all of the interface cards in this series, the planned opening date is set to 5 days. Some raw materials (panel = H84-1045, resistor = H84-1060, bulk material Glue / oil = H84-1070, and packing material H84-1080) are planned on a consumption basis. Since these parts are required for a variety of other boards and cards, large quantities of these materials are to be stored in the warehouse. Replenishment orders are triggered as soon as a specified reorder point is reached. The stock issues are backflushed when the activity is confirmed. The service stock material (Hexagon Head Screw = H84-1010) is also planned on a consumption basis. Manufacturer Part Number Processing The process integrates manufacturer part number processing. The purchase order for one material (H84-1030) contains the valid manufacturer part numbers according the approved manufacturer

parts list (AMPL) in message format for the communication with vendors (such as, for transmission as hardcopies or via EDI). This data is only displayed in the document. Procurement Different types of procurement are shown: Procurement of stock material using purchase orders (PO); procurement with scheduling agreements is also integrated. Specific overdelivery and underdelivery tolerances are defined for the ordered goods. Full WM / Lean WM integration is also shown. During the goods receipt for some materials, a batch number (for example, H84-1020, H84-1030, H84-1045, or H84-1050) is automatically assigned. Batch classification can be used to enter the MPN information in the batch. Make-to-Stock Production / Production Order Processing The production planner releases the production orders created on the release date and simultaneously prints the shop floor papers with a bar code. Production orders with missing parts are not usually released by the production planner. However, in exceptional cases, the production planner can also send orders with missing parts to the production and the planner receives information as soon as the missing material comes in. This means that on goods receipt a workflow is triggered and the material is not posted to the warehouse but directly sent to the production line. The warehouse worker picks the production order in the parts warehouse based on the first in first out (FIFO) strategy. The WM/PP material staging interface is activated, allowing an adequate replenishment strategy for each component from the warehouse to the production supply areas (pick list component, crate part, or release order part). The principle behind WM/PP staging is that a WM transfer order is created and executed from any WM storage type to storage type 100 (production supply area). The goods issue is posted at a later stage (on confirmation of the production order) and is not part of the WM/PP interface. The staging method is defined in a control cycle for each material in a production supply area (staging indicator). The WMPP material staging can be customized with transfer requirements or WMPP deliveries. Both ways are possible for the different staging indicators. The following example uses the WMPP delivery for the staging indicator pick list component; for crate parts and release order parts transfer requirements are used. Both document types are a reference to create a WM transfer order. A WM/P delivery can be used if, for example, the in-house logistic requires a delivery note for material movements (warehouse is not near by the production site). The warehouse worker uses the pick list to pick the components managed in the temporary warehouse (storage locations without WM relevance) for each order. The consumable material (hexagon head screw) is managed in the service stock at the work center. o WM/PP material staging for pick list components Components of high value or very large components can be supplied to the production area with the staging indicator pick list component (1). The replenishment quantity is defined by the quantity of the production order (quantity of reservation). The release of a production order creates an in-house delivery with the delivery type WMPP. The WMPP delivery is transformed to a WM transfer order to execute the material provision for the production order.

o

WM/PP material staging for crate parts Components of low value or of small size (consumables) can be supplied to the production area with the staging indicator Crate parts (2). This type of replenishment is a classical KANBAN processing. The replenishment quantity is defined in a control cycle for this type of material. The control cycle determines the number of KANBAN containers circulating between the warehouse and the production supply areas. The release of a production has no impact of the replenishment point or quantity. After receiving an empty KANBAN container, the warehouse worker executes the transaction LP11 for the corresponding material. According to the definition in the control cycle, the system creates a transfer requirement (TR) and a transfer order (TO). The creation of the WM documents is possible in one step with transaction LP11 (TR and TO) but also in two steps with transaction LP11 (to create the TR) then transaction LT04 (to create the TO).

o

WM/PP material staging for release order parts Components of medium value or of medium size can be supplied to the production area with the staging indicator release order part (3). This type of replenishment is a mix between classical KANBAN processing and material staging with a pick list for a production order. The replenishment is triggered by executing transaction LP12. The transaction can be started for one material or for all release order parts in this production supply area. The system cumulates for each material the open quantities of production order reservations. On the other side the system checks the stock level of the storage bin in the production supply area (the storage bin in the production supply area is defined in the control cycle such as, PSARELORD in storage type 100). If the stock level of the WM bin in the production supply area is lower than the required quantities of the reservations for the production orders, the system suggests the creation of a transfer requirement (TR). The warehouse worker can increase this quantity in order to remove a whole pallet from stock. If there are no open production order reservations for this type of staging material, the system does not suggest replenishment. On the other hand, the release of production orders has an impact of the replenishment point or quantity. Therefore the transaction LP12 should be executed regularly after releasing production orders to check the replenishment quantities. The creation of the WM documents is possible in one step with transaction LP11 (TR and TO) but also in two steps with transaction LP11 (to create the TR) then transaction LT04 (to create the TO).

Scrap Processing At the beginning of production planning, the planned scrap quantity (component scrap, assembly scrap, and operation scrap) is considered. Rework for Subassembly Subassembly (H84-1040 Circuit Board PCB 2L 8B 7.6): If not found to be OK in the quality check (the last operation of the standard routing), the operation routing set is triggered, and the process is executed to finish the rework process. Order Confirmations A move ticket (German Laufkarte) for the production order is printed with a confirmation number (bar code) at the same time as the shop floor papers. Processing is carried out in accordance with this information. Once the production process has been completed, the user confirms the activity. The material used is backflushed when the operation is confirmed.

Handling Unit Management for Finished Product Handling units for a finished product can be used in two ways: If you want to pack the finished goods with a constant quantity and a constant packing material just after the production order process, you should use transaction COWBPACK (Pack for work order). In this step, you can create a handling unit by using a packaging instruction (which contains the packaging material), and at the same time you can post the goods receipt of the production order in the handling unit storage location YD05. If you do not pack the finished product directly after production because the quantities to be packed or to be delivered might vary, you can execute the packing process after you create the outbound delivery. In this case the dispatch worker can create handling units with the transaction HUPAST (free packing) according to the quantities of the delivery notes or to other customer specific criteria (e.g. packaging material). Cost Object Controlling Cost Object Controlling is an area in cost accounting that assigns the costs incurred in the execution of company activities (such as internally manufactured materials) to those activities. Product cost by order enables you to analyze costs at the level of manufacturing orders, production orders, and process orders. In product cost by order, the manufacturing orders themselves are the cost objects. Costs charged to manufacturing orders are usually analyzed and settled by lot. This means that variances can only be analyzed after the entire planned production quantity has been put into the inventory.

Business Process ProcedureControllingCosting Run UseThe costing run allows you to cost multiple materials at the same time. It is used to cost materials based on planning data. You can use the costing run to process mass data. The purpose is to calculate prices for the selected materials. The price update, also in the costing run, consists of two steps, marking the price computed and then releasing it. The prices for the material are then updated in the material master records as the standard price, which is used to valuate goods movements within the company.

PrerequisitesMaterials, BOM, routing, work centers, costing variant have been created.

Scrap Treatment and Analysis UseWhen you create a production order, the system calculates the scrap based on different scrap types. In this activity, you go through the results of the assembly scrap, operation scrap and component scrap. Assembly scrap: A percentage of the quantity of an assembly that does not meet the required production quality In material requirements planning (MRP), this percentage scrap is considered for all components contained in the assembly. The only components excluded from this calculation are those for which the net operation scrap indicator is set. Operation scrap: The percentage of the material processed in an operation that does not meet quality requirements. Component scrap: The scrap that is expected to occur when a material is used in production, if the material is a component. Component scrap is used in material requirements planning to determine the input quantities of a component. Net indicator: This indicator determines whether scrap for the component is calculated on the basis of the net required quantity (the required quantity without assembly scrap from the material master record).

Procedure1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options: SAP role menu Transaction code Display Production Order CO03

Confirming Production Orders with Bar Code Scanner (Optional) for Semifinished Goods UseA confirmation documents the processing status of orders, operations, sub-operations and individual capacities. It is identified by a confirmation number that is printed as a barcode.

PrerequisitesA production order is printed with a confirmation number barcode at the same time as the shop floor papers. The process is carried out in accordance with this information. Once the production process has been completed, the user confirms the activity. The material used is backflushed when the operation is confirmed. Ensure that sufficient material is in stock. You can check this using transaction MMBE. If there is not enough material in stock, you can post a goods receipt using the transaction MB1C with the movement type 561.

3. Confirm your entries with Enter. 4. Confirm the subsequent information messages with Enter. Accept the default values displayed. 5. In the Yield field, confirm is the total order quantity entered as default. 6. Save your entries. 7. Choose Back to return to the SAP Easy Access screen.

ResultAfter saving the confirmation data, the stock postings are executed for withdrawing raw material and goods receipt for the semi-finished product. If the posting cannot be performed, the user is asked to make the necessary corrections. If the user does not make any corrections, the stock posting is sent to a pool so that the incorrect goods movements can be processed (transaction code COGI). At the same time, the receipt of the completed assembly is posted to the amount of the confirmed yield. From an organizational point of view, it is important to ensure that incorrect goods movements are post-processed when backflush and automatic stock postings are used (transaction code COGI).

Rework Order Process UseSome operations produce more scrap due to operational or component defects. To simulate the process, some predefined operations are triggered automatically at end of the planned required operation. These are also released automatically and are followed by production execution as normal production parts. In the following scenario, scrap is detected during a QM activity. A rework process is triggered immediately, the rework activity is confirmed, and the additional material consumption is posted. To simulate the process, we assume that some scrap was found by inspection in the last order (the production order for H84-1040 which you just completed in the last step).

PrerequisitesThe reference operation set for H84-1040 has been defined.

Procedure1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options: SAP role menu Transaction code Field name Order Oper./activity Confirm. type 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Description Single Screen Entry of Confirmations CO11N User Action and Values The order no. you noted for the material H84-1040 0020 Partial confirmation Important Comment

2. On the Enter time ticket for production order screen, make the following entries:

Confirm your entries with Enter. In the Scrap field, enter the scrap quantity 5, and choose Enter. Choose Save. Confirm the dialog box Trigger point function with Enter. Choose Copy (F7) on the Assign Operation/Sub operation Numbers screen. Confirm the dialog box Trigger point function with Enter. Go back to your user menu. Display the production order. To do so, access the activity using one of the following navigation options: SAP role menu Transaction code Display Production Order CO03

11. Enter the order number for the material H84-1040. 12. On the Production order Display: Header screen, choose Operation overview (F5). 13. Note that the rework operation 0022 was added and released.

SAP Best Practices


14. After the scrap is repaired (rework finished), repeat steps 1-3 for the operation 0022. 15. Enter the yield quantity 5 and the labor time 1 H (assumed the rework time). Choose Enter. 16. Choose Goods movement and perform an additional goods issue posting here (assume additional material needs for rework). 17. On the Enter production order confirmation: goods movements screen make the following entries: Field name Material Quantity Plant Stor. Loc. storage location Description User Action and Values H84-1020 5 PC BP01 0004 Comment

18. Confirm your entries with Enter. 19. Confirm the message Enter the Batch with Enter. 20. Select the material and choose Batch determination (contrl+F4). The batch was determined using the FIFO strategy. 21. Choose Save.

ResultThe rework process is complete.

The rework process shown here is a real business case. The scrap is completely repaired with some additional material consumption and activities in an automatically triggered rework process. For a more complex business case with more complex rework activities, you can define the operations in a reference operation set. Another possibility is to cancel the confirmation of operation 0010, confirm it again with the actual quantity and activity again. This can be applied if the scrap is not completely repaired.

Analysis and Treatment of Bulk Materials PrerequisitesMaterial H84-1070 Glue / oil is defined as bulk material.

Procedure1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options: SAP role menu Transaction code Display Stock/Requirement Situation MD04

2. On the Stock/Requirements List: Initial Screen, make the following entries: Field name Material Plant 3. Confirm your entries with Enter. Description User Action and Values H84-1070 BP01 Comment

4. Note that no dependent requirement is triggered and no reservation, planned order or production order is included in the bulk material. To analyze this, enter the following data on the Stock/Requirements List: Initial Screen: Field name Material Plant Description User Action and Values H84-1000 BP01 Comment

5. Select a production order number and choose Display. Choose Component overview (F6). Material H84-1070 is displayed. Do the same for a planned order. 6. Note that in the Production Order Display: Component Overview screen, the component H841070 (Glue/oil) is not flagged as a backflushed material and there is no default issue storage location although both are maintained in material master. This means that the bulk material will not be backflushed or issued to a single production order; instead it is issued to the cost center with the movement type 201. To do this, you have to execute the procurement first. 7.
