How to Access SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition Solution Process Flows and Test Scripts

  1. Navigate to SAP Signavio Process Navigator.
  2. Scroll down to the recently added solution scenarios and choose the SAP Best Practices for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition entry.
  3. In the left area, choose the tab Solution process and select the business area entry Manufacturing.
  4. In list on the right, search for the solution process of interest.
  5. Select the solution process to view the details and the process flow and scroll down to the Accelerator section to access the test script.
Note
You can ignore the SAP Cloud ALM version of test scripts at this point.

Description

  • This scope item enables you to carry out repetitive manufacturing. Repetitive manufacturing is commonly used when a production process meets the following criteria:

    The same or similar products are produced over a lengthy period. The products produced are not manufactured in individually defined lots. Instead, a total quantity is produced over a certain period at a certain rate. The products produced always follow the same sequence through the machines and work centers in production. Routings tend to be simple and do not vary greatly.

  • This scenario starts with Planned Independent requirements (PIR). These are used to perform demand management functions. Material Requirements Planning (MRP) generates planned orders for the material to be produced. By using the planning table, planning the production of materials and capacity on the production lines can be completed. The confirmation of Repetitive Manufacturing triggers multiple activities, such as finished product goods receipt, backflush of component materials, and posting of costs to cost collector.

Key Process Steps Covered

  • Creation of planned independent requirements

  • Planning of material requirements at plant level

  • Adjustment of planning in planning table

  • Checking range of stock coverage

  • Material staging

  • Confirmation of assembly activities and repetitive manufacturing backflush

  • Post processing of error records

Benefits

  • Make-to-stock production based on run schedules without reference to sales orders

  • Simplified handling of the production process with full cost control

  • Confirmation of assembly activities without using production or process orders
