Function documentationTransfer of Production Yield Confirmation

 

This function enables the transfer of a production yield confirmation message to SAP ERP. The message is triggered when one of the following occurs in SAP ME:

  • An SFC number of the Production shop order has completed an operation that is marked as the SAP ERP reporting step.

    Note Note

    An SFC number can be re-processed at an operation that this SFC number has already completed. For more information, see Repeated Operation Confirmation

    End of the note.

  • A top level SFC number of the Production shop order was packed into a container and the container has been closed using Pack/Unpack (see Container).

The function supports both discrete and time-based components (see Time-Based Genealogy).

This function supports long material numbers (see Transfer of Long Material Number).

Integration

  • In SAP ERP, a confirmation documents the processing status of orders, yield and scrap quantity, and operations. A confirmation is also an instrument for controlling orders.

  • The following business transactions can be executed through confirmations in SAP ERP:

    • Updating order data (for example, quantities, activities, dates and times, status)

    • Component consumption and goods receipt of the finished product

    • Updating costs based on confirmed data

    • Updating MRP-relevant excess or missing quantities in the order

  • SAP ME is the system of record for WIP.

  • If you update a production order directly in SAP ERP by recording scrap quantity movements, SAPMEINT does not update the corresponding shop order in SAP ME.

  • See Transfer of Production Yield Confirmation: Integration Details.

Prerequisites

SAP ME

  • You have imported the production order data from SAP ERP.

  • You have released the Production shop order to the shop floor (see Shop Order Release).

  • You have verified that routings contain at least one ERP reporting step.

    We recommend that the last routing operation is marked as ERP reporting step to ensure that all consumed components are reported to SAP ERP.

  • For container close, you have created Material pack level containers in Container Maintenance and set the following activity rules for PK020 (Pack/Unpack) in Activity Maintenance (see Pack/Unpack):

    • ERP_ITEM_FILTER

    • ERP_OPERATION

    • ERP_REPORTING_STEP

    • ERP_SEQUENCE

      Note that SAPMEINT supports only SAP ERP routings with the sequence of zero (ERP_SEQUENCE=0).

  • You have verified that collaboration links and directives are configured (see Configuring SAP ME Outbound Collaboration).

    To send yield confirmation on container close, you have assigned the ERP_CONTAINER_CLOSED_CONFIRMATIOIN directive to the COLLABORATION_ERP_CONTAINER_CLOSED_CNFRM trigger action in Collaboration Link Maintenance.

SAP ERP

  • You have verified that the control keys of the operations do not allow Auto Goods Receipt and that they allow confirmations (see Control Key and SAP Note 1502536Information published on SAP site).

  • You have verified that all work centers have the same activity types arranged in the same sequence.

  • You have verified that operations are not marked as milestone operations.

  • You have verified that operation sequence is not checked (see Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Production Next navigation step Shop Floor Control Next navigation step Operations Next navigation step Confirmation Next navigation step Define Confirmation Parameters End of the navigation path (transaction OPK4)).

  • To view scheduling information in SAP Shop Floor Dispatching and Monitoring Tool, you have configured SAP ERP to communicate with SFDM. See also: Transfer of Production Order with SFDM Scheduling Information

Activities

  • You do one of the following in SAP ME:

    • Complete an SFC number belonging to the Production shop order at the ERP reporting step

    • Pack a top level SFC number for the Production shop order into a container and close it using Pack/Unpack

  • SAP ME triggers a collaboration event.

  • SAPMEINT sends a yield confirmation or a container close confirmation to update the processing status of the production order and operations in SAP ERP.

    In SAP ERP, you can see the status of the production order on the Display Production Order Confirmation: Details screen (transaction CO14).

    If the Production shop order contains scheduling information transferred from the SFDM, then the confirmation message also contains quantity split IDs and capacity category. For more information, see Transfer of Production Yield Confirmation: Integration Details.
