Overview – Process Orders

 The figure shows the main

steps that are performed during
process order management to
control process manufacturing
in the SAP system.
 The procedure involved in
process order management can
be divided into the following
steps:
 Process planning
 Process order execution /
process management
 Order Completion
 Many of these activities can run
automatically or in the
background so that manual
processing of orders is
minimized.

Process Order – Order Structure

 Operations describe the different steps required during the

production process. For a more detailed description of
these steps, phases are assigned to the operations.
 Exactly one resource is assigned to an operation. This
resource assignment also applies to all phases assigned to
the operation.
 The phases' processing sequence in time is defined in
relationships.
 The material list is made up of components representing
the materials entering and leaving the production process,
as well as temporarily existing materials and their planned
quantities. It also defines the assignment of these material
components to the phases of the order according to their
appearance in the process.
 A process order is usually created using a master recipe.
The operation and phase structure together with its
relationships and assigned resources, as well as material
components and process instructions are copied to the
process order.

Process Order – Order Type

The following Customizing activities are basic prerequisites for using

process orders:
 Customizing: Define order types
 An order type contains control information that you need to
manage orders.
 An order category is assigned to every order type.
 You must assign a number range to every order type.
 Customizing: Define order type-dependent parameters
 In this activity, you determine the parameters that are valid for
each order type and plant.
 Master data: Here, you define the data that influences
production version and master recipe selection as well as order
master data maintenance.
 Controlling: Here, you define the parameters relevant to
costing.
 Other settings that you can make refer, for example, to the
documentation of status changes, the connection of the
Logistics Information System, and the documentation of goods
movements.

Order Creation – Overview

 The graphic illustrates the main activities and functions

of process planning.
 A process order can be created manually or by
converting a planned order. The production quantity
and planned order dates are either copied from the
planned order or entered manually.
 A production version with a master recipe is selected
as the basis for the process order. It provides a detailed
description of the planned manufacturing process.
 During order creation, the process order is scheduled,
the required capacity requirements are determined, and
the planned costs are calculated. Data and formulas
from the master recipe and the assigned resources are
used as a basis for these activities.
 During the material availability check, different
criteria can be used to check whether the material
components needed for the order are available.

Production Control
Order Creation – Overview

 The graphic shows the main functions that are

carried out when you create a process order. By
making the corresponding Customizing settings,
you can control how these activities are
performed.
 All these functions are usually carried out in the
background (except for order type specification
and manual quantity and dates entry in scenario
(2)). The production scheduler does not have to
do anything unless a problem occurs (for
example, if a master recipe does not exist).
 Other functions that can run automatically if the
relevant Customizing settings have been made,
are, for example: material availability, batch
creation for the product, order classification,
order release

 You can create a process order with transaction COR1

 You can convert a planned order into process order with transaction COR7

Order Creation – Conversion from Planned Order

 You can do a collective conversion of planned orders into process orders with transaction COR8

14
Production Control
Order Release – Material Availability Check

 Availability checks for material components

ensure that only those orders are released for
which the required material quantity is available
on the calculated requirements date.
 The availability check can be triggered
automatically or manually. In Customizing,
you specify for each order type and plant
whether an automatic availability check is to be
carried out.
 All receipt and issue elements to be considered
are checked dynamically according to the ATP
method (Available-to-Promise).
 If the total required quantity of a material
component is not available at the required date,
the system sets the order status 'Material
shortage'.

Order Release – Production Scheduling Profile

 In Customizing you can define Production Scheduling

Profiles.
 In a production scheduling profile, you can specify
that particular business transactions are carried out in
parallel in a process order, for example:
 Order release on order creation
 Scheduling on order release
 For batch management, you can specify the following:
Whether a batch is automatically created for the
product on order creation or order release, whether
and how a batch is to be classified, etc.
 You can assign a production scheduling profile to a
material and/or production scheduler. The assignment
to the material has a higher priority.
 The production scheduling profile is taken over to the
process order when you create the order.

17
Production Control
Order Release – Order Release

 Process orders have a status management which controls

the possible processing sequence of the individual
business transactions.
 When an order is released, the corresponding status is set.
The process order must have status Released so that the
business transactions for process order execution and
process management can be carried out.
 You can release individual phases and operations, one
complete order, or several orders at once.
 Various activities can be triggered automatically when an
order is released:
 Batchnumber assignment for the product
 Batch determination for the material components
 Material availability check
 Control recipe creation
 Inspection lot creation for in-process quality
inspections
 In Riviana, order release is made on order creation

 You can release a process order with transaction COR5

Order Release – Order Print

 A number of different lists

are offered in the standard
system.
 For each order, a
maximum of 20 lists may
be called up.

Order Release – Order Print

 You can print process orders with transaction COPI

21
Production Control
Confirmations – Confirmation Parameters

 In Customizing, you define confirmation

parameters for each order type and plant (fixed
parameters).
 When you enter a confirmation, you can change
some of these settings in the dialog (variable
parameters).
 Using the confirmation parameters, you specify
the following, for example:
 Which entry screen is offered by default
 Which data the system proposes during
data entry
 How strictly you want checks to be carried
out

Goods Receipt – Goods Receipt

 The graphic shows the main steps carried out during

process order execution. The goods receipt is the last
processing step.
 The material components required for production are
withdrawn from the warehouse as goods issues. The
delivery of the material produced to the warehouse is
recorded in the form of goods receipts.
 Both goods movements trigger the following activities in
the system:
 The system creates a material document that
describes the goods movement from the materials
management point of view.
 The system creates an accounting document
describing the material movement from the
accounting view.
 The system updates the material's stock quantities.
 The system updates the stock values in the material
master as well as the material stock and
consumption accounts.
