Reading Master Data (SAP Library - Production Orders (PP-SFC))

Reading Master Data

Use

If data is changed in the routing, in the work centers affected or in the BOM after order creation then these changes are not automatically taken into account in the production order.

Thus you can read in the master data (BOMs and routing) again into a created or released production order.

Features

If you decide to read in the master data again then it has the following consequences:

Before it is read in again certain criteria are checked that must be fulfilled (see Criteria for a Single Order, Criteria in a Collective Order).

When reading the BOM:

all existing material components are deleted
all purchase requisition items for non-stock components are deleted

When reading the routing:

all existing sequences, operations, PRTs and trigger points are deleted
all assignments of material components to operations are deleted
all purchase requisition items for non-stock components are deleted

The status of a released order is set to created again.

The deleted data is then replaced by new data from the selection BOM/routing. The selection procedure is identical to the procedure for creating a production order (see Selecting Bills of Material or Routing Selection

Which Data is Read?

Only the master data that you select in the dialog box for reading master data is read in again.

Example

You have specified that master data is to be selected using a new production version. The production version contains a valid routing and a valid BOM alternative. In the Read PP master data dialog box, however, you have only selected the field New routing. In this case the system does not select a new BOM.

Example

The explosion date for the master data to be read in can be changed.

Read with Production Version

You can read in master data for a specific production version. In this case the system selects the routing or BOM alternative that is determined by the production version.

The following conditions must be fulfilled:

A production version must be maintained for the material to be produced.

The production version is valid for the specified explosion date and for the given lot size.

Read with Revision Status

You can read in master data for a specific revision status. In this case the system selects the routing or BOM alternative with the date from the revision status.

The following conditions must be fulfilled:

A revision status must be maintained for the material to be produced.
