Order Processing View (SAP Library - SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO))

Order Processing View

Definition

Screen in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling for displaying and processing an order.

Use

In the order processing view, you can create, change or delete an order. You create receipts for components for which you have defined manual planning in the product master. You can use product heuristics to improve planning for the components. In the order processing view, you can display the order in its environment, which includes:

Pegging information

Status information

Alternative procurement options

Operations

Structure

The order tree is displayed on the left side of the order processing view. It consists of the order as the top node, as well as subnodes under which the actual order objects are listed.

Elements of the Order Tree

Subnodes	Order objects
Receipts	Products of the order
Requirements	Components of the order
Operations	Operations and activities of the order

By double-clicking an element of the order tree (node or order object) you control the content on the right side of the order processing view.

Order	Header data of the order such as dates, alerts and status information The APO System displays the status of the order according to the status change made in the integrated OLTP system (for example, released or confirmed). On this screen you can: Set the conversion indicator to specify that the order is to be converted automatically after it has been transferred to the OLTP system. Fix the output of an order to specify that automatic planning cannot change the order quantity. The APO System automatically sets the Input firmed indicator when you manually change the quantity of a component.
Receipts	List of order products with the detail data, such as the availability dates and quantities.
Reqmts	List of order components with the detail data, such as the requirements dates and quantities.
Operations	List of order operations with the detail data, such as dates and quantities.

You can create orders for alternative procurement options.

Integration

Calling the Order Processing View

You can call the order processing view either:

Directly in the interactive production planning menu

In the receipts view and in the product view by double-clicking an order

Detailed Scheduling Strategies

The system performs detailed scheduling for an order using the detailed scheduling strategy you have specified under Settings.

Alert Monitor

The display of alerts for quantity and date problems are integrated in the order processing view. To display further alerts, for example, for resource problems, you can call up the Alert Monitor.

Plan Monitor

To display the quality of the planning based on your own criteria, you can call up the Plan Monitor.

DS Planning Board

To display the schedule of the orders in a Gantt chart, you can call up two differently configured DS planning boards from the order processing view. Here you can manually reschedule orders or call the optimizer.
