Perform Setup - Production

In this step you can initialize the information structures from the Shop Floor Information System.

The following report helps you to do this:

It reads the production orders and triggers the statistics update of these orders in accordance with the selection you made in the selection screen.
In this process, only the production orders in the system are processed and not those that have already been archived.
Application-specific selection parameters
Here you specify the key of the plants to which the setup of statistical data applies.
Here you specify the numbers of the
MRP controllers or the MRP controller groups which are to be included in the statistical setup.
Here, you specify the order numbers which are to be included in the statistical setup.
Here, you specify the production scheduler groups which are to be included in the statistical setup.
Here, you specify the creation date of the production orders to which the statistical setup applies.
If you set this indicator, the system carries out a check via the information structure S021 (production order) to see whether a production order was already updated for the specified version.
Updating is only carried out if this is not the case.
Note
In the standard R/3 system, this indicator is not set.
Some communication structures must be stored in the Shop Floor Information System for technical reasons. This applies to release versions and costs.
If you use the indicator "Enhanced setup", the respective communication structures will be set up.
The note also applies to this (see below), which states that the quality of the setup data is generally worse than the quality of the data from online updating.
You can use report RMCFCSCP to copy the communication structures that were created by the enhanced statistical setup.
Caution
You can perform a statistical setup for two basic reasons:
In the first case, you wish to perform a statistical setup of all the selected data because the statistics update was switched off, for example, or because there were errors in the statistical data. In this case, it is recommended to execute an enhanced statistical setup.
In the second case, you want to fill a new information structure with statistical data. In this case, you should not execute an enhanced statistical setup.
This report has essentially the same functionality as the report RMCSISCP.
Both of these reports enable you to copy or delete versions as part of the statistical setup.
In contrast to report RMCVISCP, the selection criterion "Date" is not not included in the report RMCFCSCP.
Instead, the report RMCFCSCP uses the selection criterion Order . Here, you need to specify the order numbers of the production orders which determine the restrictions to be made.

Note

Due to technical reasons involving data, the calculated costs cannot be reconstructed according to specific work centers because this allocation is only temporary. This is not relevant to the production cost analysis (S027) since the work center is not a characteristic in this standard analysis.
