Background documentationSFC Number Transfer

 

You can send SFC numbers in a specific shop order at a source site to a destination site.

The system can transfer the following SFC number data:

  • Activity records

  • As-built history

  • Custom data for SFC number and shop order

  • Data collection (manual only and if stored in the work in process (WIP) database)

  • Nonconformance data

  • Process lot

  • Shop order identifier

When you transfer SFC numbers for consumption, they are finished and ready to be used in assemblies at the destination site (see Transferring SFC Numbers for Consumption).

When you transfer SFC numbers for spanned production, they are only partially finished at the source site. You transfer them to the destination site for further processing (see Transferring Span Production SFC Numbers).

Upon site-to-site transfer, SAP ME marks the transferred SFC numbers for immediate archive at the source site (see Archiving).

The system uses the COLLABORATION_SFC_TRANSFER collaboration action to trigger the transfer of SFC numbers (see Setting Up SFC Number Transfers).

If the Track Floor Stock system rule under Production Tracking in System Rule Maintenance is set to true, the system automatically places SFC numbers that have completed the last step on the routing and have the Done status into the inventory table. However, Site-to-Site Transfer deletes inventory records for transferred SFC numbers automatically.

Caution Caution

Before they can be transferred, SFC numbers must have completed the last step on the routing and have the Done status. An SFC number with that status does not undergo any further processing at the source site.

End of the caution.
