Purpose

This process describes the process flow for the entry of actual data in Repetitive Manufacturing. You can enter "actual" data for assemblies, components, and activities. It is possible to enter completion confirmations for make-to-stock repetitive manufacturing, make-to-order repetitive manufacturing, and for production by lots. You can also confirm the "actual" data for valuated and non-valuated individual customer stock as well as for kanban materials.

Prerequisites

You have already created a production version and a product cost collector for the production of stock materials or materials for valuated individual customer stock.

Steps in the Confirmation Process

At the end of the production process, you invoke the goods receipt confirmation function. The system explodes the BOM according to one of the following logics:

If you have specified a planned order, the system explodes the BOM for this planned order.

If you have entered a revision level and no planned order, the system explodes the BOM that for this revision level.

If you have entered neither a planned order nor a revision level, the system explodes the current BOM for the material on the basis of the posting date.

The system posts the goods receipt of the finished material (assembly) and backflushes the components. In doing so, it creates material documents and accounting documents.

Errors can occur in backflushing.For example, there may not be sufficient warehouse stock to cover the retrospective goods issues or you may not have maintained the issuing storage location for a component. You then have the following options:

You can make the corrections immediately in a component overview.

You can have the system post the goods issues for the error-free components only. The system then generates backlogs for the full requirement quantity for the faulty components. You can then process these backlogs later. If negative stocks are allowed for the material in the storage location, the system may generate a posting to negative stock. For more information, see: Errors in Backflushing

The system reduces the planned orders or run schedule quantities for the material by the quantity confirmed. In doing so, it applies one of the following strategies for the reduction of planned production quantities that you have defined in Customizing:

It reduces the planned orders or run schedule quantities assigned to the production version specified.

It reduces the planned orders or run schedule quantities assigned to the production version specified as well as those that are not assigned to any production version.

It reduces the planned orders or the run schedule quantities assigned to the production version specified, or to no production version, or to other production versions of the material.

In the case of make-to-stock and valuated make-to-order repetitive manufacturing, the system debits the following costs to the product cost collector:

Material costs

The system determines the prices of the withdrawn components from the material master records. The totaled costs are then posted to the product cost collector.

Production activities

The posting of production activities is optional. The system determines the production costs from the standard cost estimate for the material or the preliminary cost estimate for the product cost collector.

If the actual times differ from the planned times in the routing, you can also enter actual times.(For more information, see Correcting Activities .)

If necessary, the system generates a cost log. At the same time, it updates the quantity statistics for the Logistics Information System.In doing so, it takes only actual quantities and actual scrap into account. It also updates the component consumption, the product costs and the reporting point information in the Logistics Information System.
