Download
Use
You need to download data to the subsystem to carry out checks in the subsystem. Downloading is not necessary for PDC data transfer. The following checks can be carried out at the subsystem level:
Existence checks for operations
Quantity checks
Prerequisites
Operations that are to be transferred to the subsystem must be suitable for PDC. This means that,
The
PDC active
indicator has to be set in the order-dependent parameters (for each order type, plant).The work center of the operation has to be assigned to a subsystem via
Subsystem Grouping
(Basic Data
tab,
Subsystem
pushbutton). You carry out this assignment in work center maintenance.
Features
In the initial download , the operations from the production orders that meet the corresponding conditions, are downloaded from the SAP system to the subsystem.
In the master data download the master data is downloaded to the subsystem, so that extensive checks can be carried out there. You can download the following data:
Work centers
Variations
Units of measure
Material-dependent units of measure
In the delta download all the operations that have been created since the last initial download are transferred to the subsystem.
Scheduling Background Jobs
You have to schedule the following programs for a download:
