Configuring Rework Processing – Stock-Manufactured Material (BJN)

You use this configuration item to assign orders to order types. You have to assign every order to an order type. The order category (40, process order) is a fixed setting and cannot be changed. The order categories are predefined in the SAP system and characterize the technical properties of the orders. The order category defines, for example, the transactions you can use to process an order.

The order type defines the following:

• Order residence time

  You define how long completed orders remain in the SAP system before they are archived.

• Status management

  An order can run through several statuses*. The status controls which business-related operations* are permitted with an order.

• Number assignment

  You have to assign a number range to each order type. If you create a new order type by copying an existing one, you can either keep the number range assignment or choose a different one.

Note

In addition to the general order parameters at client level, there are also parameters at plant level, which you can process in the configuration step under Shop Floor Control → Master Data for Process Manufacturing → Define Order-Type-Dependent Parameters.

Order types are preset in the standard delivery of the SAP system.

1. Classify the orders with regard to their defining characteristics (for example, order category or number range).
2. For each order category, define whether you want to use status management.
3. If necessary, define your own order types. To do so, copy an existing order type and adjust the data as necessary.

You use this configuration item to define the parameters that are valid for each order type and plant.

The parameters are split up as follows:

Master Data

Here, you define the data that influences master data selection or order master data maintenance. The screen contains the following indicators:

• The production version defines if the production version is selected automatically or manually.
• The recipe selection ID defines the priorities according to which recipe is selected.
• You can activate the entry tool for operations to help you when you create operations.

• General
  • Substitute MRP controller/substitute production supervisor. These are proposed when you create process orders if an MRP controller or production supervisor are not specified in the material master, or if there is no reference to material.
  • Reservation/Purch.Req. specifies whether certain order objects (operations, components) are relevant to MRP.
  • Collective requisition enables collective purchase requisition per order for externally processed operations or non-stock items.
• Bill of Material
  • Application defines how the BOM alternatives are selected.
  • Batch determination
  • Search procedure defines how batch determination is to take place.
• Quality Inspection

  Inspection type defines how a quality inspection is to be carried out.

• Status Change Documents
  • Here, you define whether you want change documents to be written if a status change occurs. You also define the level at which the change documents are written:
  • A status change document documents the following:
    • Which status has been changed
    • Who changed the status
    • Whether the status has been activated or deactivated
    • In which transaction the status change has been carried out
  • In the process order*, you can define the status at the following levels:
    • Order header
    • Operation
    • Material component
• Status change documents can thus be defined independently of each other, at each of these four levels.
  Note

  If you have defined these parameters such that status change documents are written for a particular order level, the SAP System only writes a status change document for a status change from this point in time if the order (or operation/component) has been created since the status change documents have been activated.
• Documentation of Goods Movements

  You can specify that goods movements are to be documented with reference to an order.

• Cost Accounting

  Here, you define the parameters relevant for cost accounting, such as costing variants for planned and actual costs and a results analysis key.

• Distribution Role

  Default (distribution) role defines an automatically generated distribution role for CO settlement.

You use this configuration item to create production scheduling profiles for specific plants.

In a production scheduling profile, you can:

• Specify that certain business transactions or processes are to be carried out in parallel in a production or process order:
  • Order release at the time the order is created
  • Generation of document link from the material master when the order is created
  • Generation of document link from a BOM when the order is created
  • Scheduling upon order release
  • Generation of document link from the material master upon order release
  • Generation of document link from a BOM upon order release
• Specify whether only partial quantities are to be confirmed at the time of an availability check
• Specify that an automatic goods receipt is to take place
• Specify that in the case of the confirmation:
  • No short quantities are to be updated
  • No excess quantities are to be updated
  • Neither short nor excess quantities are to be updated
  • An adjustment of the operation and component quantities to the actual values is to take place
• Make various specifications in the area of batch management:
  • Automatic batch creation when an order is opened
  • Branching to batch classification when a batch is changed
  • Extended batch classification via Customer Function Call
  • Generation of a batch split record in the production order for each batch that is found
• Specify settings regarding transport:
  • Specify that only transport requirements are to be created if transport requirements can be generated for all the components of the operation
  • Specify that either the committed quantities or the required quantities are to be taken into account when transport requirements are generated
  • Specify that the creation of transport requirements is to take place automatically
• Specify which order type is to be suggested depending on the business process
• You can assign a production scheduling profile to a:
  • Material (Work Scheduling screen in material master)
  • Production supervisor

Note

• The assignment to a material takes higher priority.
• The production scheduling profile is adopted in the production or process order at the time the order is opened.

1. Create the necessary production scheduling profiles.
2. Assign the profiles to the appropriate materials or production supervisors.

You use this configuration item to define the production supervisors for your plants. In addition, you can assign a control profile to each production supervisor. By assigning production supervisors to materials within the application, you can define responsibilities for a material within production activity control.

1. Create your production supervisors.
2. If necessary, assign profiles to your production supervisors.

In this configuration item, you can define task list usages to assign routing to various work areas. You can create several task lists with various usages for the production of a material. In work orders, you can assign order types* to usages. The system uses the usage in an order for automatic task list selection.

You can specify that a routing is to be used only for Plant Maintenance or for goods receipt.

Define task list usages.

You use this configuration item to define a collection of default values for task list headers and operations.

You can minimize the maintenance of task list data as follows:

• Data from the material master is proposed
• Data from the work center can be referenced or copied
• Data from the profile is proposed

You can enter a profile in routing maintenance. The values from this profile are proposed when you create a new routing or routing object, such as a header or an operation. This data can either be saved or overwritten.

The profile contains default values for the status or for the operation increment.

Note

• The assignment to a material takes higher priority.
• The production scheduling profile is adopted in the production or process order at the time the order is opened.

1. Determine the default values that can reduce the amount of maintenance work in your company.
2. If necessary, define several profiles.
3. Maintain the default values for routing maintenance.

You use this configuration item to specify which data is contained in an operation that is automatically created during order creation. Within order creation, you can determine that an operation is created automatically if no routing exists for the material to be produced or no routing can be selected.

The automatically created operation should contain the following data, for example:

• Control key

  The control key specifies how an operation is processed (for example, whether it is scheduled, costed, and so on)

• Operation number
• Operation short text
• Material group (only for external processing)
• Work center where the operation is carried out

Specify the data for operations automatically created by the system.
