You can use this business function in project-based manufacturing. There is a new and improved pegging program that provides significant performance improvements and can handle unplanned issues within one run. There is also a new logging and messaging concept that provides better visibility into the process running in the background. Error logs and reports have been consistently added throughout the program.

Features

Pegging Program

  • There is a new transaction for the new and improved pegging report PEG01N. You can now create a run profile to define the behavior of the pegging report, including business-related settings, performance-related settings and log settings. To do this there are two new transactions:

    • Make Settings for Pegging Run Profile (PEGRP )

    • Make Settings for Run Profile Messages (PEGRPM).

  • There is a new grid list for viewing pegging results that contains additional columns not available in the hierarchy list for displaying internal IDs. There are new columns for different replenishments (purchase orders, production orders, planned orders and purchase requisitions) which are generated from the replenishment object. It saves you having to copy out the replenishment number from the replenishment object.

  • The message log now contains many more entries than before.

  • The report can now handle rework orders and with one pegging run.

  • The pegging report reexecutes the pegging logic until all processible pegs are found.

  • The pegging report can handle subcontract purchase orders. Stock issued to subcontractor stock when determining the requirements for the subcontract purchase order is taken into consideration. So when matching up requirements to replenishments and stock, if there has been a goods issue to the purchase order that is recorded in the pegging goods issue table, the amount of the open reservation in the reservation table should be reduced by that quantity to prevent an overallocation of pegs to the higher requirements.

  • Cross-plant transfer postings in a nested grouping scenario have been enhanced.

  • The rounding function has been enhanced as follows:

    • Rounding now considers the parent assignment.

    • Group-to-group transfers allow rounding based on full assignments.

    • Rework orders are rounded correctly.

    • Before, if you used units or measure that were defined with decimal places, the rounding function would round to the nearest whole number. Now, the rounding function rounds to the defined number of decimal places.

Consumption Postings to WBS Elements

Inventory management in the Aerospace and Defense manufacturing environment requires the ability to track back the current stock (and relevant cost) to the original demanding WBS element by maintaining the link between the original requirement and the actual replenishment. You can consume grouped project stock materials to an individual WBS using movement types 221Q/222Q. The same consumption functionality is available for grouped parts and non-grouped parts, and we enable an easy way to track back to the material that the consumed material got used up on.

Group-to-Group Transfer with Initial Peg

GPD now allows the user to enter the initial peg (assigned WBS element) when preparing the stock transfer order/performing a group-to-group transfer (415Q) in transaction MIGO. There is a new field where you enter the individual WBS element to which the costs should be assigned and this is assigned to the receiving WBS element. If no requirement is created for the material transferred to the receiving grouping WBS or the material is not immediately withdrawn, then the pegging program assigns the excess quantity to the assigned WBS element.
