Question 1

Describe the scope item BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing.

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 1

This scope item enables production planning in make-to-stock scenarios for a serial-number-managed finished good.

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Question 2

How does the process of Make-to-Stock Production start?

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 2

The process starts with the creation of a demand forecast for finished goods represented by Planned Independent Requirements (PIRs).

Based on PIRs, Material Requirements Planning (MRP) creates a production plan for finished goods and explodes the entire bill of material structure.

As a result, semi-finished component production and raw material demand is planned. Production planners can analyze and manually change the planned order-based production plan.

Question 7

What are “Planned Independent Requirements”?

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 7

Planned independent requirements are used to perform demand management functions.

A planned independent requirement contains one planned quantity and one date, or a number of planned independent requirements schedule lines, such as one planned quantity split over time according to dates.

Question 10

Explain the process step “Conversion to Production Orders for Subassembly and Final Assembly”

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Question 12

Explain the process step “Material Staging for Subassembly”

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 12

This process step shows you how to stage materials for production. If there is sufficient stock available on the production storage location no line items are generated.

Question 13

Explain the process step “Release Production Order for Subassembly”

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 13

This process step shows you how to release the order at header level, releases the order and all its operations. The order and the operations receive the REL (released) status.

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Question 14

Explain the process step “Confirm Production Operations for Subassembly”

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 14

The confirmation documents the processing status of orders, operations, sub-operations, and individual capacities. It is an instrument for controlling orders.

This process step shows you how to confirm the operations of the production order for the material. When you confirm the last operation, the system generates a goods movement document for the material. The backflush is carried out together with the confirmation steps.

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Question 18

Explain the process step “Check Serial Numbers”

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Question 29

Which of the following SAP Fiori apps are associated with the Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing (BJ5) scope item?

A: Manage Sales Orders
B: Manage PIRs
C: Material Scrap
D: Sales Quotation

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 29

B, C: Managing PIRs is relevant for planning demand before sales orders exist in make-to-stock production. Comparing planned scrap with actual scrap is also typical for make-to-stock. In contrast to this, management of sales orders and sales quotations is relevant for make-to-order production, where sales orders trigger the production and assembly of finished goods.

Question 30

Which of the following process steps is irrelevant to the Make-to-Stock Production — Discrete Manufacturing (BJ5) scope item?

A: Check Serial Numbers
B: Pick Components
C: Create Product Cost Collector
D: Material Requirements Planning

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 30

C: Picking components (as part of material staging), checking the serial number, and material requirements planning as part of the production planning process are valid. A product cost collector — if needed — belongs to Controlling master data and is not part of this process.

Question 31

In the Make-to-Stock Production — Discrete Manufacturing (BJ5) scope item, the make-to-stock process is triggered for every sales order. Once the product has been produced for the sales order, it is put on sales order stock and the sales order can be delivered.

A: False
B: True

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 31

A: Make-to-stock does not produce specifically for a sales order, nor is sales order stock created. Make-to-stock also produces for PIRs and the product is always put on (anonymous) stock.

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Question 32

What are the production steps withing production execution?

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 32

• Material staging
• Order release
• Order confirmation
• Material movement postings for goods issue and goods receipt including available-to-promise checks

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Question 33

How are independent requirements used in mass processing?

BJ5 Make-to-Stock Production – Discrete Manufacturing

Answer 33

Instead of creating a single requirement, sometimes a requirements plan that includes one or more planned independent requirements can be maintained for mass processing. In this case, the requirements are grouped and maintained under a requirement plan number.
