Transfer of Production Order with Operation-Level Scheduling

This function lets you transfer a production order with operation-level scheduling information from SAP ERP to create or update the corresponding Production shop order that contains operation start and end time in SAP ME (see Shop Order and Shop Order Schedule Report).

Integration

The production order is used by production planning in SAP ERP to define which material is to be processed, at which location, and at what time, and how much work is required.
Release of the Production shop order in SAP ME triggers production on the shop floor (see Shop Order Release).
See also Transfer of Production Order: Integration Details.

Prerequisites

SAP ERP

You have transferred the material master records for the produced material and all the components (see Material Transfer).
You have created a BOM and a routing for the produced material (see Steps in Creating a Simple Material BOM and Creating a Routing).
You have transferred the work centers with individual capacities (see Transfer of Work Center with Individual Capacities).
You have created a production order either manually or by converting a planned order automatically (see Creating a Production Order).
You have set up ALE communication to create and transmit LOIPRO IDocs (see Customizing for ALE for Communication with SAP ME).
You have defined DRF Replication Model to replicate LOIPRO03 IDocs (in Customizing for Production, choose Integration with a Manufacturing Execution System Basic Settings for MES Integration ). For information about SAP ERP versions supporting DRF, see SAP Note 1793291.
You have defined unique ISO codes for every unit of measure.

SAP ME

You have verified system rule settings (see ERP Integration Rules).
You have imported work center and resources from SAP ERP (see Transfer of Work Center with Individual Capacities).
You have optionally imported BOM and routing master data from SAP ERP (see Transfer of Bill of Material (BOM) and Transfer of Routing).
BOM and routing masters that are sent from SAP ERP to SAP ME prior to the production order download allow additional manual configurations to take place inside of SAP ME. This prerequisite is optional because the BOM and routing master can be created in SAP ME directly from the production order download.

Activities

You create a production order either manually or by converting a planned order automatically or update the production order in SAP ERP (see Creating a Production Order).
You send the production order with scheduling information from SAP ERP to SAP ME (see Procedure: Select Transaction Data).
SAPMEINT creates or updates the corresponding Production shop order containing scheduling information in SAP ME.
When the shop order is released in SAP ME, shop floor operators can see operation start and end time in the POD Work List (see POD Work List).
