What are the cutover activities followed for PP module?

I am listing some cut over activities to be followed (for PP - Discrete

Manufacturing).

Production Planning / Master data:

For Production planning, only master data shall be migrated to SAP. In the 1st
Stage, there is no master data. Following is the master data elements relevant for
PP:

- Bill of materials
- Routing.
- Work Centres.

Transaction data:
As of the cut off date, ideally there should not be any work in process. All the open
production orders should be closed and semi finished goods should be dismantled
and should be added to Raw materials. This strategy should be followed for all
production orders where lead time to complete the production order is not large.

Since, the production orders are for longer duration and it is not possible to
dismantle the product and add it to inventory, following can be the strategy for
migrating the data to SAP:

- Create a material master for the work in process and set the standard price as the
cost incurred for that product (ie. Work in process)
- Create a bill of material (which will be used only for this production order)
including this material and other materials still to be consumed.
- Create Routing for rest of the production process.
- Bring the work in process material into inventory as of the cut off date.
- Create the production orders in SAP for the Work in process and issue materials
to production order.

Complete the production process after the cut off date of the project.

Tips by: K.S.Kulkarni

What happens to planned after it has been converted into production order?

When you convert Planned order to Production order. the planned order are offset
by production order. Reference of planned order can be seen in the production
order.

How to attach a drawing for a material to BOM? Is it possible?

Yes, you can attach a drawing.
First create a document using Transaction Code "CV01N - Create Document".
Attach your drawing in that document.
The system will generate a document number. Assign this document in the BOM
with item category D.

Report in Long Term Planning - You use long term planning for your
customers, what they need are very simple, just to calculate future
requirements for 1 or 2 years.
Are there any reports in SAP to list of material requirement from LTP?
You need a list of material requirement from long term planning result for
each item.

Use MS70 then use MCEC.

Scheduling planned order - How can you get planned orders scheduled so
that you can do capacity leveling?
MD11 and then Schedule works fine but ideally you would want the the
planned order scheduled automatically on creation? You have tried setting up
an action to schedule the orders but cannot get that to work either.

When running MRP, try selecting "2" in the scheduling box this will bring planned
orders into CM01 and CM21

Capacity planning CM01 - When you run capacity planning T-code: CM01,
you found the plan orders are not included in the pegged requirement, you
checked the profile, the check box for order and plan order are all actived.

Guess that planned orders have been created without capacity requirement
indicator in MRP ("2" - Lead Time scheduling), if this is the case, then when
converted to process orders they will have impact on the Resource. If you want to
see them as planned orders, re-run the MRP or change in every planned order,
going to the Menu: Edit --> Scheduling

Another couple of possibilities are to do with the routing/work centres used and
whether it isactually calculates consumption of capacity of the category at the work
centre being displayed in CM01 (it might consume a capacity pool or it might not
consume the category).

MPS in Backgound/Online - You want to run MPS for a plant either online or
in the background, but you do not get any results. If you run MPS for a single
material/plant, then everything is 100% OK.

You need to run a planning file and a consistency check first, transaction OMDO
and MDRE respectively you'll need to set up two jobs to do it but it is straight
forward, once you've done this set up the background job for MPS to run and do it
in NEUPL first time round and then change to NETCH after that.

What is the output of MPS run?

From MPS run you plan the materials which are of 'A' type in the abc analysis
(80% dollar value) that have to be planned before hand.
MPS is also a type of MRP only in which components just below the materials on
which MPS run is taken place, are planned.

Table for production order status - What is the table for finding status (for Ex
TECO ed prodn orders). We are not able to find from AFKO and AFRU
tables the status of production orders or at least the link tables if known can
be mentionned. You are unable to link the structure caufvd and IOHEADER
WITH AFKO and AFRU.

JEST is the table.

Data dictonary table for SOP planning data - You are using Standard SOP
(Info structure S076), in which table can you see the planning values that you
maintained in MC93 transaction?
You looked under table "S076" and did not see any values there.

Use T.Code MC95 to display your entries under the version which maintained the
the table S076.

Production order operation's component allocation - How does SAP know

that an operation has components as indicated by the component allocation
indicator? Tcode CO08.

Component allocation is done via routing maintenance or BOM maintenance for

the assembly. This is master data maintenance. As soon as a PO is created, the
master data is read into the PO.

How to delete groups of products?

How to delete a group of products that was created in screen MC84?

Delete the members in the product group and then archive the product group in
transaction SARA, object=MM_MATNR.
(The product group is created as a material master record with material type PROD
and this record is deleted in SARA.)

planning (MRP) to determine the sequence in which materials are planned and by
product costing to determine how costs are rolled up. True False.

To define the precise conditions under which a material must be used by different
areas in a company, you define an area of validity and a validity period. True False.

A _________ is a location that defines where production activities take place

according to order requirements. In different companies, _______ are also called
machine centers or capacity centers.
A _____ shows operations in a sequence and acts as a template for production
orders. The planned time for each operation is stored in the ____ as standard values.
________ represent the times to be measured when the work center is used on a
task list, for example, machine time, labor time, and setup time.

These times are grouped together using a ____________. This __________

determines which standard values are displayed for the work center.
___________ refers to the ability of a work center to perform a specific task.

Capacities can be entered and changed in work centers, but can also be maintained
independently. The system distinguishes between: Work center capacities Pooled
capacities Reference capacities Default capacities.

The system uses the ________ to determine move times only if you have not
entered any move times in the Interoperation times section of the Operation detail
screen.

The move time can be maintained separately. You can maintain a minimum move
time and a normal move time in the Interoperation times section of the Operation
detail screen. If reduction measures are necessary, the system uses the minimum
move time for scheduling. True False.

You can maintain the queue time in the work center and in the routing operation.
However, the system uses the queue time from the work center for scheduling only
if you have not maintained a queue time in the operation. You cannot reduce this
time. True False.

Capacity is specific to a given work center, it can represent a group of people or

machines, False True.

By creating reference capacities, users can maintain one set of capacities that
applies to several work centers independently by linking the capacity data to each
relevant work center. When it is necessary to update the capacity, the planner only
needs to maintain the reference resource. The information is relevant for all
resources that have been linked by the reference function. Once the work center
capacity category has been referenced, it can no longer be maintained. The capacity
data can only be maintained by editing the reference capacity header. True Flase.

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

The material and routing should belong to the same plant, for example, the planning
plant and the production plant must be the same. False True.

The material assignment can be done in different ways You can create the routing
for a specific material You can use the material assignment functionality in the
routing header You can use a production version.

Sub-Operations Suboperations are subordinate to an operation and used for more

detailed planning of the process step that is described in the operation. They are
typically used to carry out more detailed planning for capacity or costing for an
operation. For example, you can use suboperations to assign several people or
machines that are required at the same time, to an operation. A suboperation can be
costed, but can only be scheduled relative to the superior operation. You can
cumulate standard values from suboperations on the corresponding operation. You
can determine whether suboperations belonging to an operation are copied into the
production order. A suboperation can't be costed.
The dates of the suboperations are determined using the start or finish reference for
an operation when you specify an offset value. The reference dates for the start and
finish of a suboperation are: • Start date for setup • Start date for processing • Start
date for teardown • Finish date for execution • Start date for wait time • Finish date
for wait time • Finish date for setup • Finish date for processing.

If an operation is divided into suboperations, the standard values for the

suboperations can be cumulated under the main operation. If the suboperations run
in parallel, this kind of cumulation is not possible because the cumulated values
would be too high. True False.

Component that is to be discontinued is replaced by a follow-up material as of a
certain date, as soon as the stock available for MRP of the discontinued component
is zero. This means that when the stock available for MRP of the discontinued
material is zero, the dependent requirements are diverted from the discontinued
material to the follow-up material.
