Process Steps for Make-to-Stock – Process Manufacturing Based on Production Order (2UG)

Applicable Process Steps

Process StepDescription
Create Planned Independent RequirementsThis process step shows you how to use planned independent requirements (PIR) 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, meaning one planned quantity split over time, according to dates.
Material Requirements PlanningThis process step shows you how to use material requirements planning 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 SituationThis process step shows you how to monitor the material coverage situation for material after the requirements planning has been carried out.
Create Production OrderThis process step shows you how to create production orders. Because the order release is executed automatically, production can start immediately.
Review Production OrderThis process step shows you how to review the created production orders.
Goods Issue of Batch-Managed ComponentsThe withdrawal of the raw materials is used for the order. This withdrawal can be done by using the picking list or doing a manual goods issue.
Note
If the material is set for backflush (in material master or resource), the withdrawing is done automatically after you confirm the operation or the whole order. Backflushing should not be used for batch-managed components (to ensure that the physically picked and consumed batch is the same as the recorded batch).
Goods Issue via Pick ListThe released production order is now ready for picking. This process step shows you how to use the pick list to move all materials to the production storage location can be issued to the order.
Manage 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 production orders, components and operations, with user-specific selection and layout settings.
Post Goods Receipt for OrderThis process step shows you how to post the goods receipt for the production order. You may post goods receipt for the total quantity, but usually already partial quantities of the products are required for further processing, such as consumption for further production or subsequent deliveries for sales orders.
Confirm Production incl. Component BackflushIn the process industry, GR and GI postings are usually done immediately during the physical movements of the materials to ensure batch traceability and data consistency. Order confirmations with backflush are done at shift end or day end. The sum of the GI and GR quantity for the given order is then recorded within the confirmation and scrap quantities (optional). The time ticket confirmation allows recording either the default times for machine and labor usage, or record actual times for major deviations.
Review Production Order ConfirmationThis process step shows you how to review confirmations for the orders.
Review Scrap ReportThis process step shows you how to review confirmations for the orders.

Business Roles for Make-to-Stock – Process Manufacturing Based on Production Order (2UG)

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 drop-down 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, an 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 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 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 option Create From Template 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 to Unrestricted 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 = 1710) 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.
