How to Do Output Management in Manufacturing - SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing

Hello and welcome to the video titled, How to Print Serial and Equipment Numbers on a Material Document in Inventory Management. My name is Meghana Giridhara and I work as a Business Process Consultant in S Vahana Cloud MEE team. In this video, I'll explain how to customize a content form template and print serial and equipment numbers on the goods receipt for production order output form. If you are an application consultant or inventory manager using S4HANA Cloud, this micro learning is especially for you. First, I will explain the basics of customizing a form template. In the second part of the micro learning I will show you a system demo. Let's get started. SAP S4HANA Cloud supports the serial numbers in the goods receipt process, as well as inventory analytics, through the following SAP Fiori apps, out of which I'll consider post-goods receipt for production order, as an example today. Along with the SAP pre-delivered content, SAP S4HANA Cloud provides extensibility of Adobe forms of material documents. This enables you to add serial numbers and equipment numbers to the corresponding output forms. I will use these pre-delivered content in the system demo later. Let's take a look at the general output setup. You can access all SAP pre-delivered forms and customized forms through the Fiori app maintain form templates. Furthermore, you can define the master form layout to include your corporate branding using Manage Texts and Manage Logos app. You can configure the rules for assigning the required content form using Output Parameter Determination Fiori app and for defining master form rules, you can use Manage Your Solution app. In my example today to customize the content form template, I must follow these steps. Firstly, I download the required content form, modify the template using Adobe Lifecycle Designer, and upload it back to the S4HANA Cloud system. Once the new template is available in the system I must assign it to the right application object. And finally I assign the custom form to be output as the default for the individual slip in the material document using output parameter determination app. Let me now show you a system demo. In the system, I now look for the SAP Fiori Launchpad group called Output Management, and then open Maintain Form Templates Fiori app. Under the pre-delivered templates tab I search for the standard template used for printing individual slip in production order goods receipt and then make a copy. I give a custom name and then click on OK. You can see the newly created custom form under custom templates tab. I click on this and then I download it by choosing a default A4 master form. I then extract the zip file to a local folder. After extracting the downloaded zip folder, I now open the XTP file using the Adobe Lifecycle Designer. I simply select no here and now you can see the contents of the form for the goods received for production order. Now I navigate to the data view to see all available fields in this form data provider. This means you can print any of this information in the form after scrolling down. I see here a table of information related to serial number and equipment number. To bring it to the template I can simply drag and drop this table into the form. I remove some of the columns by right clicking on the column, selecting delete and then the column and retain the serial number, material and equipment number information. I now navigate to the hierarchy tab, which shows the data fields printed on the template in the corresponding order. You can also drag and drop the serial number table above the summary block. I now save the changes and upload it back to the S4HANA Cloud system using the app maintain form templates. I am now back in the SAP S4HANA Cloud System, and using the Upload button here, I update the latest customized form template. You can see the message that form template has been updated. As next step, I now need to link this form template to the required goods movement type. To do this, I open the Manage Your Solution app under the Assign Form Templates Configuration step. I'm now going to click the Configure option. I'm now going to maintain a new entry for our custom form. After adding the entry for goods movement and individual slip for production order goods receipt process, along with the custom form name, I now click on Save. As a final configuration step, I have now navigated to the app output parameter determination. This is where I can now define which form template I want to use for the output in goods movement process. For the show rules for option, I select goods movement. And for the determination step, I choose Form Template. Next, I will click on Edit. I now change the form template name in row 7, which is relevant for us to print individual slip for the material document posted for production order. I am now going to activate the changes. To test the output, I will now open the app Post Goods Receipt for Production Order. I now enter a production order number and press enter on the keyboard. I will now select the print document type as individual slip from the drop down and I will also select auto create serial numbers option at the item level. Since the item is already selected, I now click on post. Goods receipt is now posted and a material document is successfully created. On clicking the document link here, I now navigate to the material document. You can see the serial numbers generated for the items under the tab Serial Numbers. And to see the output, I click on the item. Under the tab Output Management, you can now see the output details with status completed and our custom form available for PDF preview. I will now click on the display and you see the customized output added with the serial numbers and equipment numbers. With this I'm coming to the end of this demo. Let's summarize the key learnings. You have learned how to modify a form template with Adobe Lifecycle Designer to add serial number and equipment number to the goods movement output. Moreover, you have also learned configurations required to print your custom form, and also how to post goods receipt for production order with serial numbers and view its respective output. Thank you for watching.
