Function documentationTransfer of Planned Order Confirmation

 

This function enables the transfer of a confirmation message from SAP ME to SAP ERP. The message is triggered when one of the following occurs in SAP ME:

  • An SFC number of a Repetitive shop order originally created in SAP ERP is completed at an operation that is marked as the last ERP reporting step (the Is Last Reporting Step checkbox in Routing Step Properties).

  • A top level SFC number of the Repetitive shop order was packed into a container and the container has been closed using Pack/Unpack (see Container).

The function also reports batch numbers of time-based components consumed in SAP ME (see Time-Based Genealogy).

Integration

  • Repetitive manufacturing in SAP ERP supports confirmations of the finished product at the time of goods receipt or at reporting points. Since SAP ME does not know the reporting points, an integrated scenario supports only confirmations of the finished product at the time of goods receipt.

    Planned order confirmation is an integral part of repetitive manufacturing. It is linked directly to product cost controlling through the product cost collector.

  • In final or partial confirmation, the following processes occur in SAP ERP:

    • Posting goods receipts, quantities, batch number and characteristics for finished products

    • Posting goods issues for the components

      For components with batch number, SAPMEINT reports the batch number and the actual quantities.

    • Reducing planned orders or run schedule quantities

    • Posting production costs to product cost collector

  • SAP ME is the system of record for WIP.

  • SAP ME totals the quantities of shop orders with identical plant, material, production versions, and batches that are packed in a container when it is closed and sends this consolidated information to SAP ERP.

  • Nested routings are not supported when Close and Done in SAP ME Pack/Unpack is used.

  • SAPMEINT sends confirmations to SAP ERP only for closed containers of the Material pack level. Containers of the Container or Process Lot pack level are not processed (see Container Maintenance).

  • SAP ME does not support the concept of trigger points.

Prerequisites

SAP ME

  • You have imported the planned order data from SAP ERP.

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

  • You have verified that the last ERP reporting step is defined and other custom data fields are populated (see Routing Step Properties).

  • For container close, you have created Material pack level containers in Container Maintenance and set the following activity rules for PK020 (Pack/Unpack) in Activity Maintenance (see Pack/Unpack):

    • ERP_ITEM_FILTER

    • ERP_OPERATION

    • ERP_REPORTING_STEP

    • ERP_SEQUENCE

      Note that SAPMEINT supports only SAP ERP routings with the sequence of zero (ERP_SEQUENCE=0).

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

      To send yield backflushing on container close, you have assigned the ERP_CONTAINER_CLOSED_BACKFLUSHING directive to the COLLABORATION_ERP_CONTAINER_CLOSED_BCKFL trigger action in Collaboration Link Maintenance.

SAP ERP

  • You have created the following master data:

    • A material with a production version

    • In the material master, you select the Repetitive Manufacturing checkbox and choose a repetitive manufacturing profile that allows make-to-stock production.

    • A product cost collector (for make-to-stock production) (See Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Production Next navigation step Repetitive Manufacturing Next navigation step Master Data Next navigation step Product Cost Collector Next navigation step Process Product Cost Collector End of the navigation path)

    Recommendation Recommendation

    Set up the REM profile as described in Maintaining Repetitive Manufacturing (REM) Profile for the Planned Order Integration (see Other Customizing Activities in SAP ERP).

    End of the recommendation.

Activities

  • You do one of the following in SAP ME:

    • Complete all SFC numbers for the Repetitive shop order at the last ERP reporting step

    • Pack a top level SFC number for the Repetitive shop order into a container and close it using Pack/Unpack

  • SAP ME triggers a collaboration action.

  • SAPMEINT sends the data to carry out a confirmation for make-to-stock or make-to-order production in SAP ERP.
