Simulation Order (SAP Library - Production Orders (PP-SFC))

Simulation Order

Use

A simulation order enables you to see how changes to initial data (sales order, master data) affect a production order. You can use the simulation order, for example, to find errors in the material configuration. It is structured like a production order but has no effect on operations.

A simulation order is created automatically when sales orders are changed. When changes are made to master data, you can use this function to create, change and display a simulation order as required.

Note

The simulation orders created using this function do not participate in the OCM change process.

Activities

If you want

To create, choose Logistics ® Production ® Shop floor control ® Order ® Simulation order ® Create.

To change Logistics ® Production ® Shop floor control ® Order ® Simulation order ® Change.

You cannot change simulation orders that have been created automatically during the change process.

To display, choose Logistics ® Production ® Shop floor control ® Order ® Simulation order ® Display.
To delete, choose Logistics ® Production ® Shop floor control ® Order ® Simulation order ® Delete.

You cannot delete simulation orders that have been created automatically during the change process.
