Function documentationTransfer of Routing to Routing with Operations Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

This function enables the transfer of routing data from SAP ERP to create or update corresponding routing and operation records in SAP ME (see Routing and Operation).

Integration

  • The routing is a description of operations (process steps) to be carried out and the order in which to produce a material (product). Therefore, routings are used as a template for production orders and planned orders (repetitive manufacturing) as well as a basis for product costing.

  • The data stored in the routing serves as a basis for production planning activities in ERP such as the following:

    • In Materials Management, planning the usage of materials and external operations

    • In Production Planning and Control, planning the usage of work centers

    • In Quality Management, planning quality inspections for production activities

  • SAPMEINT creates two SAP ME objects:

    • Operation

      Description of the SAP ME operation is populated with the SAP ERP operation short text.

    • Routing

      • SAP ME defaults the first routing to version A and increments an additional integer value for subsequent updates. For example: A-01, A-02.

        A new routing version is created when you add new operations or change the following in SAP ERP:

        • Operation number

        • Operation control key

        • Operation short text

      • The last new routing successfully created in SAP ME from receipt of the SAP ERP LOIROU IDoc is set to Releasable and marked as the current version of that routing.

      • The last ERP operation is flagged as a reporting step in SAP ME using the custom data field IS_LAST_REPORTING_STEP in the routing step.

  • SAPMEINT does not support the following:

    • Multiple Group Counters

    • Additional Sequences

    • ERP milestone operations

    • Inspection characteristics

    • Document info records
