Function documentationReporting Component Serial and Batch Numbers in Yield and Scrap Confirmation

 

This function lets you transfer a serial and batch number for semi-finished components to SAP ERP within production yield confirmation, planned order confirmation, scrap confirmation for production and planned orders, and container close messages.

Note Note

You can report batch numbers for discrete and time-based components. You can report serial numbers for discrete components only.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

SAP ERP

  • You have verified that the control keys of the operations do not allow Auto Goods Receipt and that they allow confirmations (see Control Key and SAP Note 1502536Information published on SAP site).

  • You have verified that all work centers have the same activity types arranged in the same sequence.

  • You have verified that operations are not marked as milestone operations.

  • You have verified that operation sequence is not checked (see Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Production Next navigation step Shop Floor Control Next navigation step Operations Next navigation step Confirmation Next navigation step Define Confirmation Parameters End of the navigation path (transaction OPK4).

SAP ME

  • You have configured Batch Management.

  • You have defined a serial number profile in the system.

  • You have imported the Production order with BOM data from SAP ERP.

  • You have released the Production shop order to the shop floor (see Shop Order Release).

  • You have received floor stock from SAP ERP.

  • You have verified that routings contain at least one ERP reporting step.

  • We recommend that the last routing operation is marked as ERP reporting step to ensure that all consumed components are reported to SAP ERP.

  • You have verified that collaboration links and directives are configured (see Configuring SAP ME Outbound Collaboration).

Activities

  1. You create a semi-finished material record in SAP ERP. It has to be either batch-managed or with an assigned serial number profile.

  2. You create a finished material record with BOM containing semi-finished material.

  3. You create and release a production order in SAP ERP for the semi-finished material. You release this order in SAP ME and complete SFC numbers until they get status of Done.

  4. You create and release a production order for your top assembly material (finished material).

  5. You assemble a semi-finished component using either discrete (by choosing Add in the Assembly Point or As-Built Configuration plug-in, or when a component is assembled using the Auto Assemble Component hook point activity or time-based assembling. Note that reporting of serial numbers is not supported for time-based components.

  6. You complete an SFC number belonging to the Production shop order at the ERP reporting step, scrap it or pack to the container and close it.

  7. SAP ME triggers a collaboration event.

  8. SAPMEINT sends a confirmation message that contains a goods movement section with the goods movement type 261 (goods issue for an order) for the assembled component to SAP ERP.

    The goods movement section contains the following data related to assembled semi-finished components:

    • Batch number for each component assembled onto the SFC number

      You can obtain a batch number of the assembled component from the following places:

      • BATCH_NUMBER data field

      • Inventory ID Data (for raw components received from SAP ERP)

      • Shop order of subassembly (for finished components received from SAP ERP)

      If during assembling the batch number is not entered to the BATCH_NUMBER data field, the system gets it from the Inventory ID data or from the shop order of subassembly and includes it into the confirmation message.

    • Serial number for the component only if SAP ERP 6.05 (business functions LOG_PP_MES_INT_01 and LOG_PP_MES_INT_02 are activated) or later is used.

      You can obtain a serial number of the assembled component from the following places:

      • ERP_SERIAL_NUMBER data field

      • Shop order of subassembly (for finished components received from SAP ERP)

      If during assembling the serial number is not entered to the ERP_SERIAL_NUMBER data field, the system gets it from the shop order of subassembly and includes it into the confirmation message.

    Note Note

    The goods movement section is included into the messages of the following types: yieldConfirmationRequest, scrapConfirmationRequest, yieldBackflushingRequest, and scrapBackflushingRequest.

    End of the note.
