Resource Data Editing (SAP Library - Master Recipes (PP-PI-MD))

Resource Data Editing

Purpose

This section describes how you plan the resources to be used for internally processed operations and phases while editing a master recipe.

You may have already carried out some of the steps in the process describing the first steps of recipe editing. You can use this description to check and complete existing data.

Prerequisites

The following data has been created in the system:

The operations and phases of the master recipe
If you want to use system-aided resource selection, resource classes describing resource attributes that are relevant to selection

If you work with the Process Flow Scheduler (PFS), only use resources with one capacity category. The PFS only takes one capacity category per resource into account. If you require further capacities, you can assign secondary resources to the phases of a master recipe.

The master records for the resources that are used to carry out the operations and phases in your recipe
The resource network of the production line you use for production

Process Flow

You check whether the resource network has been assigned to the production line you want to use in the general header data of the recipe.

You check whether the primary resource to be used for internally processed operations or subordinate phases has been assigned to these operations on the operation overview.

If you cannot determine the primary resource to be used until shortly before order processing, you assign a suitable planning resource to the operations provisionally.

If the primary resource you have assigned is a planning resource, you define a selection condition for the operation. This is then used for system-aided resource selection.
If the primary resource has a capacity and a processing unit with labor capacity assigned to it, you can specify the number of employees required in the general phase data.

Using the POI interface, you can transfer this information to external planning tools. The planning table of repetitive manufacturing uses this information to determine the maximum and minimum number of employees required for a planning period.

If you use the application component Payroll Accounting (PY) and work with incentive wages, you can enter a wage type in the general phase data. The wage type is used as a default for time ticket confirmations and time tickets.
You assign the required secondary resources to the operations and phases.

You define activities for an operation or phase that are performed by a different company as externally processed secondary resources.

Via the control key, you determine the business functions of these secondary resources.

To be able to carry out recipe scheduling, capacity requirements planning, and costing, you enter the following detail data for your secondary resources:

For internally processed secondary resources, the earliest and latest dates of the secondary resource and, if required, user-defined fields for additional data not included in the standard system
For externally processed secondary resources, the data on the vendor to receive the order

If you have assigned a secondary resource with labor capacity, you can enter the following information in the general data for the secondary resource:

The number of employees required

Using the POI interface, you can transfer this information to the Process Flow Scheduler (PFS) or external planning tools.

The planning table of repetitive manufacturing uses the information to determine the maximum and minimum number of employees required for a planning period.

A wage type as a default for time ticket confirmation

If you use the application component Payroll Accounting (PY) and work with incentive wages, this value is used as a default for time tickets.

You enter a long text with explanations and notes on the secondary resource.
You save the master recipe.
