SAP Fiori Apps for Engineer to Order Production with Variant Configuration

Associated SAP Fiori Applications

  • VC Modeling Environment (PMEVC)

  • Simulate Configuration Models (F2570)

  • Create Sales Orders (VA01)

  • Order Engineering Worklist (F4770)

  • Change Sales Orders (VA02)

VC Modeling Environment (PMEVC)

This app is a SAP GUI for HTML transaction. These classic transactions are available in the SAP Fiori theme to support a seamless user experience across the SAP Fiori launchpad.

With this app you are able to setup object dependencies, constraint nets, characteristics, classes or configuration profiles for an VC material. You are also able to test/ simulate your dependencies.

Simulate Configuration Models (F2570)

This feature enables you to search for configurable products and configured objects and start a configuration simulation with them.

You can use the simulation to test and analyze your configuration model by configuring your object using the integrated characteristic value assignment screen and check whether your dependencies work.

You can also display the configured BOM as the result of your configuration.

Key Features

The following is a list of key features:

  • Start a new simulation by manually entering the configurable product and its necessary input parameters (Plant, Configuration Date, Quantity, BOM Application).
  • Search and list existing objects (configurable products, configured objects, saved simulations) and start a new simulation by clicking an item in the search results. You can narrow you search based on the following attributes:
    • Type (Product, Sales Order Item, Product Variant, Simulation, Quotation Item, Purchase Order Item, Purchase Requisition Item)

    • Product

    • Plant

    • Created By

    • Created On

    • Status

    • Show Favorites Only

    • Last Changed By

  • Activate the trace of the configuration process before starting a new simulation by selecting Activate Trace. The trace messages are displayed during the simulation process.

  • Display the Exploded BOM, Super BOM and Routing Structure of your object.

  • Configure your currently opened simulation using the characteristic value assignment screen.

  • Edit the simulation parameters during simulation (Plant, Configuration Date, Quantity, BOM Application).

  • Display the Properties and Object Dependencies (along with the dependency code) of a selected BOM item, characteristic, characteristic value or configuration profile in the Inspector view. You can also see the selectable and not selectable list of values in the case of characteristics.

  • See the following additional features related to the routing structure:

    • Display the complete routing structure (standard sequence, parallel sequences, alternative sequences, operations, reference operations, reference sub-operations).

    • Display the most important information about the routing sub-objects (standard sequence, parallel sequences, alternative sequences, operations, reference operations, reference sub-operations, components).

    • Go into the alternative and parallel sequences and explore their operations.

    • Access the routing results in single- and in multi-level cases as well.

    • See the effects of configuration changes in the routing, and how the routing changes given different simulation dates.

    • Display the list of object dependencies assigned to the different routing elements.

    • Display the list of components (configurable and non-configurable) assigned to an operation and the details of a selected component.

    • Display the routing-relevant trace messages.

    • Display the Super Routing of a component.

Create Sales Orders (VA01)

This app is a SAP GUI for HTML transaction. These classic transactions are available in the SAP Fiori theme to support a seamless user experience across the SAP Fiori launchpad.

With the Create Sales Orders app, you can create or display sales orders on field interactively on desktop.

Order Engineering Worklist (F4770)

This app is a SAP GUI for HTML transaction. These classic transactions are available in the SAP Fiori theme to support a seamless user experience across the SAP Fiori launchpad.

Once you have saved the sales order, the engineering can process the BOM for the sales order by choosing the Order Engineering Worklist app where the Ready for Engineering sales order items are listed for further processing (described in Process Flow – Engineering).

Key Features

  • List all sales order items which are marked as Ready for Engineering to give a worklist to your order engineers.
  • Fixate Bill of Materials of Configurable Products in the Order Engineering Worklist app (fixed against changes of BOM master data and through BOM explosion results).
  • Insert, update and delete order bill of material items in the Order Engineering Worklist app.
  • Configure Multi-level Products as an order engineer in the Order Engineering Worklist app.
  • Compare configuration differences in the sales order after engineering is finished.
  • Accept engineering changes in the sales order item to complete the item after engineering is done.
  • Mark sales order items for re-engineering in case there are changes (to highlight the importance of these items to the order engineers).

Change Sales Orders (VA02)

This app is a SAP GUI for HTML transaction. These classic transactions are available in the SAP Fiori theme to support a seamless user experience across the SAP Fiori launchpad.

With the Change Sales Orders app, you can change or display sales orders on field interactively on desktop.
