Function documentationTransfer of Production Order

 

This function enables the transfer of production order data from SAP ERP to SAP ME to create or update the corresponding Production shop order record in SAP ME (see Shop Order).

This function supports long material numbers (see Transfer of Long Material Number).

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. It also defines which resources are to be used and how the order costs are to be settled.

  • 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 created a production order either manually or automatically by converting a planned order (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 also defined Data Replication Framework (DRF) replication model to replicate LOIPRO0 IDocs (in Customizing for Production, choose Start of the navigation path Integration with a Manufacturing Execution System Next navigation step Basic Settings for MES Integration End of the navigation path). For information about SAP ERP versions supporting DRF, see SAP Note 1793291Information published on SAP site.

    Note Note

    LOIPRO03 is required if routings are transferred from SAP ME to SAP ERP (see Transfer of Routing from SAP ME to SAP ERP and the document attached to SAP Note 1793291Information published on SAP site).

    End of the note.

  • You have defined unique ISO codes for every unit of measure.

SAP ME

  • You have verified system rule settings (see ERP Integration Rules and SAP ME Configuration for SAP ME ERP Integration).

  • You have verified settings in ERP Field Maintenance (see ERP Field Maintenance).

  • 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.

  • You have optionally set up default values for new material, BOM, and routing master data imported from SAP ERP in Default Value Maintenance (see Material Table, BOM Table, and Routing Table). This is a prerequisite only if your business process requires it, otherwise it can be skipped.

Activities

When you create a production order either manually or by converting a planned order automatically or update the production order in SAP ERP and send it to SAP ME, SAPMEINT creates or updates the corresponding Production shop order record in SAP ME.
