Standard Value Editing (SAP Library - Master Recipes (PP-PI-MD))

Standard Value Editing

Use

You use this function to enter planned values for the activities to be performed in an operation, phase, or secondary resource, for example, the required processing time or energy.

You can refer to the standard values for the corresponding process step in resource formulas. Thus, the standard values are the basis for scheduling, capacity requirements planning, and costing.

Prerequisites

The following data is contained in the master record of the resource that is assigned to the operation, phase, or secondary resource:

A standard value key that determines which standard values you can enter

A rule for maintenance for every standard value, which determines if you must, should, or can enter a value

Default values for the units of measurement for the standard values as well as the necessary activity types (if required)

Features

Depending on the standard value key, you can edit up to six different standard values for an operation, phase, or secondary resource.

You enter the standard values with reference to the base quantity of the material you want to produce. For process steps that are relevant to costing you also determine an activity type.

Processing Standard Values

Operations, phases, and secondary resources have different business functions. For this reason, the processing of their standard values differs as follows:

For phases and secondary resources, the standard values are important for planning. The system uses standard values for the following functions:

Scheduling of internally processed phases and, if the relevant settings have been made, externally processed phases (see Phase Scheduling).

Determining capacity requirements and costs for phases and secondary resources

When you create a phase or secondary resource, the system therefore checks whether you have to enter standard values for it. If this is required by the rules of maintenance for the resource, a message is displayed.

For operations, the standard values of subordinate phases are cumulated in the operation during scheduling, capacity requirements planning, and costing. Their standard values have no function and are used for information purposes only.

For operations, the system therefore does not check:

Whether you comply with the rules for maintenance of the resource
Whether the standard values of the operations correspond to those of the subordinate phases

If you replace the resource of a process step with a new resource, the standard value key of the new resource is then valid. Standard values that you have already entered are not deleted, but can take on a new meaning. For this reason, check all standard values after replacing a resource.

Activities

You enter the standard values in the detail data for operations, phases, and secondary resources on the Standard values tab page.
You can access the detail data from the operation or secondary resource overview by double-clicking the corresponding phase or secondary resource.
