Restrictions
  • SAPMEINT supports confirmations only on the finished item level and not on other reporting steps.

  • Capacity consumption is not transferred from SAP ERP to SAP ME. Therefore, it is not possible to transfer data such as operation dates.

  • Repetitive manufacturing in SAP ERP has a feature called “action handler” that can trigger various actions in SAP ERP for certain events. SAP ME does not call the action handler.

  • Repetitive manufacturing in SAP ERP supports asynchronous backflushing. Asynchronous backflushing improves response times and allows processing of a higher number of production confirmations. This feature can be switched on in customizing for repetitive manufacturing in the section Separate Backflushing Processes. If this feature is switched on, the production confirmation only posts goods receipt and reduces capacities. Backflushing material components, calculating actual costs, posting production activities and so on are recorded in a work list and processed asynchronously by a background job. Asynchronous backflushing always backflushes planned component quantities. One advantage of an MES system is the ability to accurately record actual component consumption. This advantage is lost with asynchronous backflushing. If you experience performance problems, rather than using asynchronous backflushing, t is preferable to reduce the number of confirmations by collecting them in SAP ME and sending the collected confirmations to SAP ERP.

  • SAP ERP trigger points are not supported.

  • SAPMEINT supports only the make-to-stock scenario.

Planned Order Close

If a production supervisor on the shop floor identifies that the requested quantity cannot be produced, then the Repetitive shop order status must be changed to Done in SAP ME. When the shop order status is changed, SAPMEINT sends this information to SAP ERP and the planned order is deleted.
