CAPP belongs to the master data of Production Planning (PP) as do material masters, bills of material, routings and work centers.
Routing
The calculation of standard values with CAPP (CAPP = computer aided process planning) provides machine support for work scheduling to determine standard values in the routing. The standard values are calculated using methods or processes that are available at the work center where the operation is carried out.
Standard Values
In the SAP system, standard values are used in formulas for
scheduling,
capacity planning, and
costing.
Scheduling
In scheduling, the standard values and quantities in an operation in a routing are used to determine the dates for executing the operations.
Capacity Planning
In capacity planning the standard values and quantities in an operation are used to determine the capacity requirements for executing operations. These requirements are compared to the available capacity defined in the work center.
Costing
Costing calculates the costs incurred when a material is produced in-house. Costing provides the basic information for:
pricing and pricing policy
evaluation
cost control
profitability analysis
An operation in a routing is linked to cost accounting by the cost centers and the activity types maintained at the work center. If the work center is used for an operation, then you can enter standard values for the activity types stored in the work center.
In product costing the valuation of internal activities is carried out based on the rates which were planned for the activity types. The activity types determine how the standard values are evaluated.
