Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create a simple shop floor routing and assign it to a manufacturing BOM.

Shop Floor Routings in SAP S/4HANA PEO

Video Key Takeaways

  • Version-Controlled Routing: Shop floor routings in SAP S/4HANA PEO offer version control, allowing flexible adjustments in 'In Process' stages and locked-down changes in 'Released' stages, unlike classical SAP PP routings.
  • Workspace Management: Efficiently manage routing through specialized workspaces like Entry Screen, Structure, Details, and Component Assignment to streamline production processes.
  • Operation Details: Operations and activities in shop floor routing provide essential data for scheduling, costs, and guided production phases such as setup, production, and teardown.
  • Execution Flexibility: Flexible processing allows operations to run without strict dependencies, optimizing both serialized and non-serialized manufacturing processes.
  • Routing Creation Capabilities: New routing versions can be created efficiently by copying elements from templates or existing routings, with options to include or omit operation activities.
  • Change History Tracking: Track all modifications using the Change History feature for both process and released versions, providing detailed logs of changes and contributors.
  • Version Profile Customization: Customize version profiles to define defaults for routing creation and MBOM allocation, automatically adjusting with new MBOM versions.

Summary

This lesson details creating and managing shop floor routings in SAP S/4HANA PEO. Key areas include version control, routing structure workspaces, and flexible execution.

  • Version-Controlled Routings: Track changes by creating new routing versions, ensuring consistent production processes without date dependencies.
  • Routing Workspaces: Utilize entry, structure, details, and component assignment workspaces to manage and organize routing information efficiently.
  • Operation Activities Grouping: Use any-order and simultaneous groups for flexible execution, enhancing operational efficiency on the shop floor.
  • Routing Creation and History: Copy existing routings and track change history to streamline creation and maintain detailed records of modifications.
  • Version Profile Settings: Configure version profiles in SPRO to preset default values and settings for new routing creations.

Create a Simple Shop Floor Routing and Assign it a Manufacturing MBOM

Business Example

John is a consultant with the low-volume A&D Company focusing on the final assembly of complex products. The Company would like to start modeling their production process in SAP S/4HANA PEO. John is tasked with creating a basic routing structure and assigning components from manufacturing BOM to its operation activities.
