Object documentationProduct Flow

 

You use the product flow to specify at an activity of the PDS plan that a product will be removed from or filled into a resource with storage characteristics (container resource) during production.

Caution Caution

The product flow should not be confused with the material flow. This is an attribute of the activity relationship and defines if the scrap of activities, which are linked by the activity relationship, is calculated as cumulated or individually for each activity.

End of the caution.

Integration

You can define the product flow in SAP APO or in SAP ERP.

In SAP ERP, you assign the product flow to operations or phases on the Material Component Assignment screen in the master recipe. The data is assigned to the activity of each PDS plan during the transfer using the SAP APO Core Interface.
