Process Steps for Make-to-Stock with Co- and By-Products – Process Manufacturing (3L7)

Applicable Process Steps

Process Steps for Make-to-Stock with Co- and By-Products

Process StepDescription
Create Planned Independent Requirements

Planned independent requirements (PIR) are used to perform demand management functions. A planned independent requirement contains one planned quantity and one date, or a number of planned independent requirements schedule lines, that is, one planned quantity split over time according to dates.

Instead of creating a single requirement, sometimes a requirements plan that includes one or more planned independent requirements can be maintained for mass processing. In this case, the requirements are grouped and maintained under a requirement plan number.

Material Requirements PlanningThis process step shows you how to tailor available capacities and receipts on time to suit requirement quantities. You can use MRP or consumption-based planning for this purpose.
Evaluate the Stock / Requirements Situation

This process step shows you how to monitor the material coverage situation for the material after the requirements planning is carried out.

Create Process Order

This process step shows you how to create process orders as production can start immediately when the order release is executed automatically.

Review Process Order

This process step shows you how to review created process orders.

Goods Issue via Pick ListThe withdrawal of the raw materials is used for the process order. This withdrawal can be done by using the picking list or doing a manual goods issue.

Ensure that sufficient material is present on stock. You can check the stock levels using the Monitor Stock / Requirements List app available for the Production Planner role.

Manual Goods Issue (Instead of Picking List)This process step shows you how the system performs a goods issue.
Monitor Order ProgressThis process step shows you how to generate a worklist for process orders, components and operations, with user-specific selection and layout settings.
Confirm Production incl. Component BackflushThe confirmation documents include the processing status of order, operations, phases, and individual capacities. It is an instrument to control the order. The time ticket confirmation allows recording either the default times for machine and labour usage, or record actual times for major deviations. Backflushed materials will be posted automatically during respective phase confirmations. You can post scrap quantities as an option. If no major deviations occurred, only the last phase (milestone) must be confirmed. Using milestone confirmation, all prior phases are confirmed automatically.
Post Goods Receipt for Process OrderThis process step shows you how to post the goods receipt for the process order.

Business Roles for Make-to-Stock with Co- and By-Products – Process Manufacturing (3L7)

Click on the available pictogram to display according information and the relevant piece of the hierarchy.

Access to business applications is controlled by role-based authorization management. You assign Business Roles to Business Users, and the roles provide access to business tasks. Business Users are defined as employees, contractors, or other individuals that need access to the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition system.

How to find Business Roles for a scope item

  1. Navigate to https://rapid.sap.com/bp/#/BP_CLD_ENTPR.
  2. Select your country localization from the Version dropdown list.
  3. In the Solution Scope section, expand the relevant scope item group.
  4. Select a scope item.
  5. Download the test script.
  6. Navigate to the Roles section of the test script.

A business role is assigned to a business user to grant permission to access applications in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition.

One or more business catalogs have been assigned to a business role. Business catalogs include access to one or more applications, dashboards, or displays of data.

Administrators can control visibility to the data granted through the catalog by applying general restrictions to business catalogs. By maintaining access restrictions, you can define the subset of all existing business objects a user can view (read) or edit (write) when working with a particular business role.

The business catalog defines which access categories are available (value help, read, write), and for which fields restriction values can be maintained. The fields vary per catalog, as they are based on the fields within the apps in the catalog. The business role aggregates restrictions for all business catalogs.

Administrators define a restriction based on a supported field (for example, company code, country, controlling area, and so on). Supported restriction fields vary per business catalog, as they are based on the fields within the apps in the catalog. You can restrict data access for the value help, read, and write separately. Read access always includes value help access, and write access always includes read access.

How to identify the Business Catalog(s) mapped to a Business Role and the SAP Fiori application(s) mapped to a Business Catalog:

  1. Log into the SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition system.
  2. Select the Manage Business Roles application from the launchpad.
  3. Select a Business Role.
  4. Select the Assigned Business Catalogs tab to view the standard Business Catalogs assigned to the standard Business Role.
  5. Select a Business Catalog.
  6. Select the Catalog Description tab to view the Functional Description, Authorization Criteria, and Associated Catalogs information.
  7. Select the Applications tab to view the SAP Fiori apps mapped to the Business Catalog.
Note
Please do not edit SAP Standard Business Roles directly. To customize Business Roles, always make a copy of the SAP Standard Business Role or use the Create From Template option in the Maintain Business Roles application.

To apply general restrictions, an administrator should first make a copy of the SAP standard business role, or create a new role based on the SAP standard business role template. For example, if you need to restrict access in the Accounts Payable Accountant Business Role for some users to only Company Code 1710 (United States), and for some users to only Company Code 1010 (Germany), you will create two new Business Roles based on the SAP Standard Accounts Payable Accountant role. You should name the roles accordingly (for example, Accounts Payable Accountant_1710). In the first business role, you will edit the role and maintain the restriction value(s) for the entire Business Role (that is, define the Company Code field = 1710). Then, you may edit the individual business catalogs within the role and define the access category (that is, Value Help, Read, Write) as Restricted. When you create a new business role, the read access is set toUnrestricted and write access is set to No Access by default. When an access category is Restricted, you must select a specific field value (for example, Company Code = 1010) or grant unrestricted access. If you leave fields empty within a business catalog, a user will be assigned No Access to the field in the business catalog's granted apps.
