Transfer of Production Order with SFDM Scheduling Information

This function lets you transfer a production order with scheduling information from SAP ERP integrated with SAP Shop Floor Dispatching and Monitoring Tool (SFDM) to create or update the corresponding Production shop order with quantity splits associated with resources at a specific routing step in SAP ME (see Shop Order and Shop Order Schedule Report).

Integration with SFDM

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

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. When Shop Floor Dispatching and Monitoring Tool for SAP ERP (SFDM) is in use, it also plans the resources to be used.
With the SFDM, you can control and monitor short-term planning on your shop floor. Typical users are production supervisors, foremen, or shift managers.
Release of the Production shop order in SAP ME triggers production on the shop floor (see Shop Order Release).

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.
You have configured SAP ERP to communicate with SAP Shop Floor Dispatching and Monitoring Tool (SFDM) (see http://help.sap.com SAP Business Suite SAP Manufacturing SAP Shop Floor Dispatching and Monitoring Tool ).

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).
A production supervisor allocates the production order quantity to specific resources for an operation in SFDM to schedule production. This generates a unique split ID for each resource assigned to an operation.
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 information about shop order planned quantity for a scheduled resource at an operation along with the planned operation start and end time in the POD Work List (see POD Work List).
