Description

  • This scope item enables production planning in make-to-stock scenarios and quick reactions to incoming sales orders. The focus is on process manufacturing (supported through production orders).

  • The process starts with the creation of a demand forecast for semifinished goods represented by planned independent requirements (PIRs). Based on PIRs, Material Requirements Planning (MRP) creates a production plan for semifinished goods and explodes the entire bill of material structure. As a result, raw material demand is planned.

  • Production planners can analyze and change the planned-order-based production plan manually.

  • Raw material demand leads to purchase requisitions that trigger alternative procurement scenarios referenced in this scope item.

  • The production process itself is entirely covered via conversion of planned into production orders, order release, direct material issue or backflush, confirmation of operations and goods receipt posting. Order-based target and actual costs are created, ensuring fully integrated material and value streams.

Key Process Steps Covered

  • Process planned independent requirements

  • Perform material requirements planning and evaluation of stock requirement list

  • Process production orders: Create production order, material staging, order release, order confirmation, material movement postings for goods issue and goods receipt

  • Run scrap reports optionally after production

Benefits

  • Trigger production execution with a production plan
  • Explode the bill of material automatically when running the material requirements planning
  • Improve usability with intuitive confirmation of production operations
