Cutover is The process of transitioning from one system to a new one
Cut over Plan is All documentation related to planning, preparing and executing cutover, describing how to lock
down the system from a technical change management perspective, preparing the the system for its new role
and rolling out the SAP graphical user interface to all future end users.
CUTOVER PLAN describes all cutover tasks that have to be performed before the actual go-live
Examples of cutover tasks are:
Review and update all systems-related operations procedures like backup policies and system monitoring
Assign ownership of SAPu2019s functional processes to individuals
Let SAP AG do a GoingLive check, to get their blessing to go live with the system
Lock down the system, i.e. do not make any more changes to the SAP system
Planning the Master data Migration Process is also a Cutover Task.
Cutover Activities or Master Data Uploading Strategies Depending upon the when we are going live. As per
that, you have to give the information to your core team. If you goling live at the middle you have to upload the
all P&L Account items and B/S Items. If you going live at the financial year start, you have to only Upload the
B/S Items. Activities for Golive:
1. G/L Master Upload Thru BDC or LSMW (TC-Fs00 and extended one co code to another company code
Fs01)
2. Vendor Master Upload Thru BDC Or LSMW (Will be Taken Care By MM)
3. Customer Master Upload Thru BDC or LSMW (Will be Taken Care By SD)
4. Asset Master Upload(Thru As90)
5. Cost Element Master Upload
6. Cost Center Master Upload
7. Profit Center Master Upload
8. G/L Balances Thru F-02
10. Vendor Balances thru F-43
11. Customer Balances thru F-22
12. Customer Advances thru f-29
13. Vendor Advances thryu F-48
Before uploading Vendor Balances you have to take care of WHT(TDS) Information.

Hi Friends, PP cycle is simple- Here i am summarizing MTO & MTS. I have already shared the same in my
integration document. Requesting to go thru' the same.

The Made TO Order Cycle:


The sale department passes on the Made to order-Sales Order to the Material department so that material
requirement is analyzed. This is done in SAP by carrying on an MRP Run for all the levels of the product BOM.
This MRP Run would create Planned Orders for the shortages. Here the planned orders for fert sub
assemblies, Components etc, are created. This planned orders for materials produced in house are converted
in to Production order and planned orders for materials Procured from outside are converted in to Purchase
order. The creation of Production order through the planned orders will convert all the dependant requirements
in to dependant reservations.
The dates of production or purchase are decided through the total replenishment time mentioned in the material
master, If it is, in-house production, then the Route times precede over the total replenishment time entered in
the material master. And the availability of all the components is ruled by the availability checking rules and by
availability checking scopes. Thus whenever the system declares a product to be ready or available by a date it
implies that the system has checked the availability of the material with respect to the Ware house stock, in
coming stock (Receipts) and all other planned orders already existing for the product or material.
In the Made to order production, sales order produced for Fert and Sub assemblies are converted in to
production order during MRP run. The production orders created have a specific quantity, specific Basic start
date and a specific Basic Finish Date, a set of operations and a set of component attached from the BOM. In
course of production the quantities produced in the operation for an order should be confirmed so that the
current status of work is available in real time situation. The components required for production are issued to
the production order through goods issue by a movement type 261 and the issue is always made to the
reservations or to the order, thereby clearing the reservations. Issues of unplanned components are made as
new items issue and not as order issue. The quantities, for an order which are produced completely are the put
in to stock i.e. a Goods Receipt is done.
Thus the made to order cycle starts with the sales orders and converting them to Production Orders through
MRP Run and there of confirming produced quantities for an order and finally putting the order in to stock.
The Cycle of Made to order: Steps: MTO Scenario
1. Material Creation (Made To order Material with major changes of: Item Category: 0004-make to
order/assem.,or 0001-make to order)
2. Route Creation
3. Creation of BOM
4. Sales order
5. Production order Scheduling, Costing, Release and Save
6. Production order Quantity confirmations for operations, Parallel task of material issue to order or to
reservations (261)
7. Fully Produced Production Quantities will be put into stock (GR)
8. Delivery against sales order
9. Invoicing.
The Made To Stock Cycle
The Made to stock scenario will start from Demand Management here we can create Planed independent
requirements manually or by using data from SOP. After MRP run system will create planned orders which we
can convert to Production order As the Stocks produced there of are not customer stock or the stock is not

attached to any specific customer. Further confirmations are done and issues of material are carried out to the
production order. Finally the production is put in to stock (GR). Here at any point of time a sales order might
come in and delivery to the customer is done from the existing stock.
Production Master Data:-The Production Master Data consists of Material Master, Bill of Material, Work Center,
Route, and Production Line Design.
The Material Master is created first for all components involved in making the Final product. Then these
components are put in a product relationship i.e. a list of materials required to make the final product are put in
a hierarchy, this is called a Bill of Material. The next task is to identify the work centers required to produce the
product; if the work centers are already created then they can be readily put in a sequence, which would be a
sequence of work centers required to produce the product. This sequence of work centers one after the other
(in the sequence of work to be done) is called a Route.
The Cycle of Made to stock: Steps: MTS Scenario
1. Material Creation (Made To Stock Material with major changes of: Item Category: NORM )
2. Creation of BOM
3. Route Creation
4. Demand requirements
5. MRP Run
6. Creation/conversion of Production order (Made To stock), Scheduling, Costing, Release and Save
7. Production order Quantity confirmations for operations, Parallel task of material Issue to order or to
reservations (261)
8. Fully Produced Production Quantities will be put into stock (GR)
9. Sales order Creation
10. Delivery against sales order
11. Invoicing.
