Using the SFC Report and the Order Report

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to obtain production information using the SFC and order report

Order and SFC Report

The SAP Digital Manufacturing system collects comprehensive data during production, either through worker input or through interfaces to sensors and automation systems.

SFC or Production Batch Report

If the Production Supervisor wants to obtain all information about an SFC or a production lot in one singe place, they use the SFC Report app. Review the following image:

The SFC report shows all relevant SFC information, for example, a detailed production log, consumed components, data collection results, and nonconformances.

The SFC Report informs the Production Supervisor about the order that the SFC or production lot was built for. The report provides basic details about the SFC, including production log details that encompass all production-related activities that the worker performed on the SFC. This covers aspects such as SFC start, completion, sign off, yield and scrap postings, component consumption, and goods receipt postings. For each activity, the system shows when it was executed and by whom and, if applicable, at which work center, resource, or phase.

The app also provides details on component consumption. This includes information such as:

  • The phase when the worker consumed the component.
  • Order
  • Plant
  • Resource
  • Recipe/phase
  • Material and batch numbers of the consumed components.

The report also specifies the time that the consumption occurred.

On another tab, the SFC Report shows data collection details such as the data collection group, parameter, and recorded value including the unit of measure. This information is useful if you want to evaluate production process data for an SFC.

Moreover, the SFC Report displays nonconformance records of the SFC, including the phase where the worker recorded the deviation. Furthermore, the report shows the nonconformance code group and code, the processing state of the deviation, and the entire nonconformance history.

Further, the SFC Report provides work instruction log details, which outline the work instruction viewed by the user, user details, and the time when the work instruction was opened.

Note

If your business process requires the SFC genealogy or product history in printed form, you can also generate a preview or print the respective document using the SFC Report app. SAP Digital Manufacturing provides default templates for both document types that your Application Consultant can adapt using the Manage Document Print Templates app.

Order Report

If the Production Supervisor wants to obtain all information about an entire order in one singe place, they use the Order Report app. Review the following image:

The order report shows all relevant order information, for example, an order overview, components, recipe and phases, dates, quantities, and SFC numbers.

In the order report, the Production Supervisor sees general order information, for example, the material and batch to be manufactured, as well as planned and actual order dates and quantities.

On the tab Components, the system displays a list of BOM items. On the Recipe/Routing tab, the system shows the list of phases to be performed. Finally, on the SFC tab, the system shows the SFC or production batch numbers associated with this order.
