WORK IN PROGRESS (WIP) BATCH SCENARIO

Work-In-Process Batch

Description

This business function allows you to describe work in process (WIP) during the manufacturing process with WIP batches.

WIP batches offer the following capabilities:

 Modeling of WIP on operation level and integration into the batch information cockpit, the batch where-used list,
and the order information system.

 Collection of semifinished products throughout the production process during production confirmation. You can also
integrate WIP with QM inspections (for example, generation of inspection lots for WIP batches).

 True N: M batch traceability from component batches through the production process to the final goods receipt
from production.

 Goods receipt and goods issue of semifinished products on batch level (managed as non-valuated blocked stock).
(Inventory-managed WIP batches.)

 Support for stock transfer orders and subcontracting/external processing. Possibility of integration with the
production order split.

Preparation

 To make use of the above-mentioned capabilities, you must fulfill the following system requirements: ERP2005-
EhP4.

 Activate the business function LOG_PP_WIP_BATCH (Work-in-Process Batch).

 Activate the WIP batch in Customizing under Display IMG -> Logistics General -> Batch Management -> WIP Batches
-> Activate WIP Batch.

 Adapt the control key to allow (or enforce) WIP batches for operations under Display IMG -> Shop Floor Control ->
Master Data -> Routing Data -> Define Control Key.

 Define a confirmation profile in Customizing, to add the WIP-batch-related areas to the single screen confirmation
under Display IMG -> Shop Floor Control -> Operations -> Confirmation ->Single Screen Entry -> Define Single Screen
Entry.

Here, you must:

o Define a new confirmation profile and, on the Area Selection tab page, assign the WIP-batch-related
detailed areas.

o Either define this confirmation profile as the standard profile or assign it as a user parameter in your user
profile (user parameter CORUPROF).

 Define whether WIP batches are managed in inventory under Display IMG -> Shop Floor Control -> Master Data ->
Order -> Define Order-Type - Dependent Parameters. Choose the Implementation tab and set the GR for WIP Batch
indicator. - YBM1
 WORK IN PROGRESS (WIP) BATCH SCENARIO
 Create a material master, bill of material and routing. The routing must have at least two operations and the
components must be assigned to the first operation.

Both components and finished product must be batch-managed. In the material master for the finished product (for
example, on the Work Scheduling view) select the indicator for OB Management (OB = original batch).
You also have the option of defining an OB reference material. In this case, the WIP batches are created for the
reference material. This is recommended if WIP batches must not be valuated, or if WIP must be classified with a
batch class different from that of the finished product. The reference material must be a non-valuated material
(while creating the material master, set the material type to UNBW).

 Create and release a production order for the finished material.

To do so, from the SAP Easy Access menu choose Logistics -> Production -> Shop Floor Control -> Order -> Create ->
With Material, or use transaction CO01.
You can also create the production order From Planned Order (CO40) or For Sales Order (CO08).

 Post a goods receipt for the components or check that you have sufficient component batch stock available.

Call production order confirmation through Logistics -> Production -> Shop Floor Control -> Confirmation -> Enter -> For
Operation -> Time Ticket. Alternately, you can use transaction CO11N.

Execution

First operation

1. Create a time ticket confirmation for the first operation of the production order. To do so, from the SAP Easy
Access menu, choose Logistics -> Production -> Shop Floor Control -> Confirmation -> Enter -> For Operation -> Time
Ticket. Enter the production order number and the number of the first operation in the time ticket confirmation.
Choose Enter.
2. On the Goods Issue tab page, enter the component quantities, the plant and storage location, and the component
batch.
3. Select a component line and choose the pushbutton below the table view WIP Batch to create a new WIP batch.
4. Enter a name for the WIP batch.
5. Wherever required, adapt the classification of the WIP batch that has been copied from the component batch
selected. Choose Next Screen.
The component batch is assigned to the WIP batch.
6. Check that the WIP batch created appears in the WIP batch table view.
7. Select the line in the WIP batch table view with the newly created WIP batch.
8. Choose Call Up Detail screen.
9. Goto the Goods Movements tab screen.
10. Select Post Goods Receipt.

11. Enter the storage location, quantity, and unit of measure. Choose Enter.
The movement type for the GR of the WIP batch is displayed.
12. Choose Continue.
13. Enter the yield quantity in the WIP batch table view.
14. Choose Save.
15. Check the message displayed. You must have a goods movement for each component you issued as well as one
for the GR of the WIP batch. There must be no failed goods movements. In case of failed movements, you can use
transaction COGI to get more details.
16. Display the production order. To do so, from the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Logistics -> Production -> Shop
Floor Control -> Order -> Display -> With Material or use transaction CO03.
17. Choose Environment -> WIP Batch -> Display Usage.
18. Check whether the WIP batch is displayed here and if it is assigned to the issued component batch in the same
tree. Go back to the production order display.

19. Check the stock of the newly created WIP batches. To do so, from the SAP Easy Access -> Logistics -> Materials
Management -> Inventory Management -> Environment -> Stock -> Stock Overview  or choose transaction MMBE.
The goods receipt of the WIP batch should have been posted into blocked stock.
20. Optionally, if your production order is configured, choose Environment -> WIP Batch - Target/Actual Comparison.
21. Double-click the status icon of the WIP batch in the tree to check the WIP batch classification entered against the
variant configuration of the item.

Second operation

1. Create a time ticket confirmation for the second operation of the production order. To do so, from the SAP Easy
Access menu, choose Logistics -> Production -> Shop Floor Control -> Confirmation -> Enter -> For Operation -> Time
Ticket. Enter the production order number and the number of the second operation in the time ticket confirmation.
Choose Enter.
2. Select the line in the WIP batch table view with the WIP batch created in the previous operation.
3. Choose Split and enter the number of splits.
4. Enter the name of the newly created WIP batches for second operation.
5. Enter a name for the WIP batches, classify them, and choose Next Screen until you are back on the time ticket
entry.
6. Create Goods Receipt for the WIP batches and enter yield for this operation as described in steps 7 - 14 above.
7. Choose Save.
The system posts the goods issue for the WIP batches of the previous operation, posts the goods receipt for the new
WIP batches and saves the confirmation.
8. Check the stock of the newly created WIP batches. To do so, from the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Logistics ->
Materials Management -> Inventory Management -> Environment -> Stock -> Stock Overview or choose transaction
MMBE.
The goods receipt of the WIP batch should have been posted into the blocked stock. The stock of WIP batches,
created on the lower operation level, must be reduced to zero.

Enter.
3. Select the finished product line in the goods receipt view.
4. Select one of the newly created WIP batches in the WIP batch table view.
Ensure that you marked a WIP batch on the highest operation level. Choose WIPB -> GR.
5. Enter a batch number for the new goods receipt batch.
The WIP batch is assigned to the production order line item.
6. Check that the checkbox for the WIP batch is selected in the IWIPB column and that the production order line
item is displayed in the It.No. (Item Number) column.
7. Enter the quantity and storage location for the goods receipt batch.
