Unit 9 Flashcards
What are the steps in Plan to Produce Process
Perform planning
- Determine requirements
- Plan production
- Produce material
- Perform periodic processing
What planning tool will replace the SOP
IBP
SAP S/4HANA supports simplified sourcing in material planning. What possible sources of supply are available?
Production versions
Delivery schedule
Purchasing contracts
Purchasing info records
List the master data in the Plan to Produce Process.
3 types of material: Raw, Finished, Semi-Finished
· BOM
· Routing
· Work Center
Which material views are needed for material planning
MRP 1 to MRP 4
Describe the structure of the BOM.
Header and Items ( 4 category)
· Structured list of all the components required to produce a product
· BOM Header (Description, lot-size range, status, validity)
· ITEM (Item types, Description, Qty, Control Data)
What are item categories with reference to a BOM?
Stock item
The stock items are stored in the warehouse and used in production.
· Non-stock item
The system directly assigns non-stock items to a manufacturing order (not through the warehouse). Non-stock items are not kept in inventory, but procured specifically for the production order
· Variable-size item
Variable-size items contain variable-size data (for example, the surface area of a steel sheet).
· Document item
Document items contain a supplementary document that describes production using a design and construction diagram.
What is the purpose of a routing
Routings contain the steps that are necessary for production and these steps are called operations. Routings include the sequence in which the operations occur, and the work centers at which the operations are to be executed.
How are BOM’s and Routings connected?
Both describe production/ how a product can be made → production version (which component of the BOM is in which operation of a routing?). You can assign a BOM to a specific operation in the routing.
How are routings connected to work centers and what objectives does this serve? ( Examen)
Operations are assigned to work center
Work center help plan cost for operations and schedule operations
What is a production version
(réponse courte) Specific combination between BOM & Routing
What is the integration of a work center with CO
It is assigned to a cost center which is handled in CO & activity type
Explain the phases of Product Cost Accounting.
Product Cost Planning: creates Standard Cost Estimate
· Cost Object Controlling: Collects actual costs incurred during the production
· Actual Costing & Material Ledger: Provides Actual Cost of each material at the end of the period
What master data is used for product cost planning
BOM – Routing
What can you do with the standard cost estimate + where do you get the standard cost estimate? Examen
Standard cost estimate = cost estimate material
What you can do = Update prices, planifier les coûts de production
Where do you get it = product cost planning
What are the steps for updating the standard price
Analyse, Mark, Release
What functions can the material ledger support? Examen
Keep track of different currency, supports parallel accounting requirements
What are the processing keys for MRP and what do they determine?
NETCH
NEUPL
NETPL = n’existe plus
Describe Net requirements calculation
you calculate supply and demands level to determine shortage
What is the output of an MRP run?
Pending requirement and procurement proposal
What does MRP Live mean
Nouvelle version de MRP sur S4
What is the stock requirements list?
Dynamics list that show current level of stock
Stock/ Requirements list (SRL)
a. Provides users with supply and demand information for a single material for group of material
i. PRI this represent demand for finished goods
ii. And the column available quantity will show the current stock level based on the supply and demand
What is the advanced planning tool formerly part of APO, but now fully integrated with SAP S/4HANA
Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS)
Describe the master data objects in PP/DS?
Location, product, resource, production data stucture
What are the three main processes supported by PP/DS
Make-to-stock production
Make-to-order production
External procurement
What is dynamic pegging
Dynamic pegging is a function with which the system automatically links requirements for a location product with suitable stocks or receipts for the location product.
What is the Alert Monitor
The Alert Monitor is a monitoring component that provides a single point of access to problems in PP/DS.
List the steps in the Production Order Process. (Examen)
- Order request
2.Order creation
3.Availability check
4.Machine commitment
5.Order release
Download to process level
Order printing
Material staging
9Material consumption postion ( Good issue) - ?
11 Upload from process level - Confirmation
- WIP determination
- Good receipt
- Variance calculation
- Order settlement
- Archive/Delete
List the steps in the Production Order Process. List the step that can be automated
- Availability check
- Order release
- Order printing
- Material consumption posting ( good issue)
- Confirmation
- Good receipt
What master data can be seen within the production order?
BOM & ROUTING
What happens when you click on the Conversion Indicator in the PP/DS Planned Order?
Corresponding SAP S/4HANA production order is created.
What status must the order be in to post a goods issue?
Released
What are the effects of posting the goods issue to the order?
Storage-location-specific update of the stock and consumption fields
· Reduction of the reservation (for planned withdrawal)
· Update of costs for unplanned withdrawals
· Determination of actual costs (valuation) and order update
· Consumption update
What are the effects of the Confirmation?
Automatic goods receipt Backflush good issue Actual cost Update statistical data HR Data transfer Reduce capacity requirements
What are the effects of posting the goods receipt from the order?
The GR posting represents the stock receipt of a product produced using a production order.
· The following functions are executed when a GR is posted:
· The system generates material documents, accounting documents, and Controlling (CO) documents.
· The material document describes the goods movement from a materials management (warehouse) perspective.
· The accounting document describes the goods movement from a Financial Accounting (FI) perspective.
· The system updates the delivered quantity in the order.
· The CO document records the credit posted to the production order.
· The GR posting is controlled using a movement type (101), to which each posting refers. This can take place manually or automatically.
When does settlement occur for production orders?
Period end (After variance)
