Integration

  • In SAP ERP, serial numbers are unique at the material level. In SAP ME SFC numbers are unique at the system level.

  • In SAP ERP production order, you can define serial numbers for the product to be produced.

    These serial numbers within the production order are distributed automatically to SAP ME. You can view them on the Serial Numbers tab page of Shop Order Maintenance.

  • When a production order with serial numbers is imported from SAP ERP, SAPMEINT creates SFC numbers using the numbering pattern of Material Number-Serial Number. These SFC numbers are used when you release the Production shop order in SAP ME.

  • The number of transferred serial numbers equals the Quantity value of the production order (in Customizing for Production, choose Start of the navigation path Integration with a Manufacturing Execution System Next navigation step Basic Settings for MES Integration Next navigation step Integrate Production Order with a Manufacturing Execution System Next navigation step Check Serial Numbers in MES Production Orders End of the navigation path).

Activities

  • When you save a production order containing serial numbers in SAP ERP, the data is automatically distributed based on DRF filter settings.

  • SAPMEINT creates the corresponding Production shop order with SFC numbers in SAP ME (see Shop Order Maintenance).

  • When SAP ME receives a request to cancel a Production shop order, the status of the SFC numbers changes to Deleted and the shop order status changes to Closed.

  • When SAP ME receives a request to reopen a canceled shop order, the status of the SFC numbers changes to In Queue and the shop order status changes to Releasable.

  • When SAP ME receives a request to place a hold on an existing Production shop order, the status of the shop order changes to Hold.

  • When SAP ME receives a request to release the hold on an existing Production shop order, the system releases each SFC number from its hold status and changes the status of the shop order to Releasable.
