PP T.code Vs Standard Program
Generally we have some standard programs for the few of the T.codes.
This program names are very important and useful , when we plan to run the T.codes in the background
This Blog will detail out some of the programs / Tcodes..

T.code - Program Name
MS66 - RM60CH00
COGI- CORUAFFW


Note: I will keep adding to this Blog.

Year End Actitvities - SAP- PP
Since we are in the end of the year , i thought to write some few things that has to be generally ensured as part of the year ending activities.

I am listing down few of them which are on my checklist..

A.Calendar:
* Calendars are very important one to be checked as part of the year ending activities.
* Check if the Holiday calendar and the Public holidays are extended to the next year.


1.Factory Calendar - SCAL

2.Shipping Calendar - OVXD
3.Planning calendar -MD27

B.Number Ranges:


Ensure that you have enough number in the buffer. Below are the few of the list of number ranges can be checked.



1.Define number ranges for orders -CO82
2.Define number ranges for confirmations - CO80
3.Define number ranges for reservations-CO83
4.Define number ranges for operations-CO81
5.Define number ranges for capacity requirements -C084
6.Define Number Ranges for Planning Run -OMI2
7.Define Number Ranges for Manual Processing-OMI3


C.Back Ground Jobs:
1. Check if any Back ground jobs has to be extended.
2. You can use the Table TBTCO.

D.Activity Price:
1. Even though the complete ownership of this activity is with Controlling team , it will be good for us to cross check if all the activity types are having the cost for the next period
2. To check this quickly you can use the KP26, list out your Cost centres / Activity types and check it.


This is not the End of the List, but covers maximum important activities, i will keep modifying the same.

Wishing you all Advance New year Wishes !!!

Function Modules In PP
The below will be the list of Function modules which will be useful !! I will keep this list added !!

1. VC_I_GET_CONFIGURATION
* This will help you to get the configuration parameters of the configurable material

2. CO_BT_GET_ALL_VORNR_IN_ORDER
* This will Help you to get the Operation details in the Production order.

3. MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API
* This will help you to get the MRP Stock requirement list.
* Most of the details that are seen in the MD05/07 Can be extracted from thism

4. BAPI_CLASS_GET_CHARACTERISTICS
* In case if you need to get the characteristics and the values for the Class ( Like 300 /023) etc, then you can use this FM
* You need to give the Class and the class type
* It will give you the output with characteristics with / without values.

Discrete Vs REM
This Blog will bring out some basics of Discrete Vs Repetitive manufacturing as a Snap Shot.

Discrete Manufacturing:
1. When production is done Based on Orders.
2. Cost is collected at Order Level.
3. Collection of cost
4. Complex Routing/Bom( Like Variant Configuration)

Repetitive Manufacturing:
1. When Production is done Periodically( Same product Produced for over period of time)
2. Simple Back flushing is Planned.

The below are few other points that are differentiate them.

Master Data
1. Material Master

Work Scheduling View:
Discrete: You need to have the Work Scheduling View activated for this.
REM: Work Scheduling is not Required.

REM Profile:
Discrete: No Rem Profile is required.
REM: REM Profile is Mandatory.

2. Production Version
Discrete: It is Optional
REM: It is Mandatory

3. Product Cost Collector:
Discrete: It is Not Required
REM: It is Mandatory , it is the one which collects all the cost.

4. Settlement
Discrete: Settlement is done at the Production order level.
REM: It is at material Level.

5. Work Order.
Discrete: Production order are mandatory.
REM: No Order,

6. Confirmation
Discrete: confirmation is done at Production order Operation level or at Order level.
REM: Confirmation are done at production version /Planned order level.

7. Capacity Planning
Discrete: Done with CM01,02 etc,
REM: Need to be done with MF50 Planning table.

8. Shop Floor Paper.
Discrete: Can Create shop floor Print.
REM : No Standard Shop floor Paper, need to do Custom Development if Required.

9.Order Information System
Discrete: Has Detailed order information
REM: No detailed list.

Few other Links are As below.

In-Process Inspection in REM
Intro:
In this Post we will review the In process inspection of the REM scenario. I like to be very specific on particular inspection type since the incoming inspection( 05 Inspection type) and the Finished Goods Inspection ( 04) are same as discrete manufacturing only.

But the In-Process inspection the lot generation is unique for the Rem Scenario.

In-Process inspection:
*Like the other manufacturing type REM manufacturing cycle also requires to monitor the In Process for the quality control Module.
* In discrete when the production order is created a lot will be generated, but in case of the REM we need to create one inspection lot for each production version.
* The results recording can be done for certain open periods like week, month year based on the requirement.

Master Data:
QM - Master Data:
* MIC- Master inspection Characteristics ( QS21/22/23)
* Inspection Method- ( QS31/32/33)
* Sampling Procedure( QDV1/V2/V3)
PP-Master Data:
* Material master
# In this QM view should be active
# Inspection Lot type 13 Should be activated.

* Work centre
* Routing - In routing we need to maintain the required MIC in the operations.
* Production Version.

Transaction :
* Once when we have all the required master data set up, we are ready to create the Inspection Lot for the In process.
* For this You have to enter the T.code - MFPR
* In this t.code you need to provide the Plant, Material,Production version.
* Once when you enter them and press f8.
* It Will take you to a new screen wtih Process Inspection Lot for Production version.
* Here you need to select the check box for the required Production version and Hit create inspection lot.
* After this you can see the Inspection Lot Generated.

Results Recording;
* Once you have the Inspection lot you can check for them in the QA32.
* The results recording is common.
* Once when you decide to close the Inspection lot then you can take the usage decision, til then you can record the results with the Inspection Points.
* Once Usage decision is taken to create the results recoding you need to follow the same process.

The above is simple flow to understand the REM In process inspection

Repetitive Manufacturing - Basic Cycle
In this post I will Explain a simple REM cycle for the PP Module.

Master data:
************
* Material Master:
* In this you need to have the REM indicator activated.
* A Rem Profile attached
* Production version with BOM, routing, production line( it is nothing but a work centre)
REM indicator activated.
* BOM
* Routing( Routing or rate routing both will work fine for the rem)
* Production version.

Configuration:
*************
1. REM Profile


Process Flow:
***********
1. First Create all the required material master as indicated above.

2. Once this is done now you have to create a product cost collector

* REM- works on the Product cost by period.
* So the Product cost collector is a CO order which helps to collect all the cost at a material /
production version combination to an internal order
* Which later settles the variance against a material
* You can create the Product cost collector with KKF6N
3. during the creation of the Product cost collector it will prompt you to do the Preliminary cost collector- for rem you need to run this one also.

4. Once the above is done , now you have to run the Cost estimate Mark and release the same with CK11N AND CK21(you can reach the help of FICO consultant to complete this process)

5. Once the above is done now the master data and prerequisites are complete and ready for the PLANNING AND CONFIRMATION of the product/material.

6. Now you can maintain the demand in the md61 for the required quantity.

7. Once the demand is maintained and the MRP is run you will be able to work with the REM PLANNING TABLE.

8. One of the best features in the REM is the Rem Planning table

9. This can be accessed with the T.CODE MF50.

10. Here when you try to access the MF50 you have multiple choices to make selections and also restrictions.

11. Inside the planning table you can see 2 major things
a. In the upper section of the planning table you can see the available/ actual capacity
b. In the lower section of the planning table you can see the demand and few other attributes like stock, ROC, Production version etc.

12. This MF50 helps you to make the Planning- the Creation / modification of the planned order are very dynamic in this screen and is well integrated with all the functionalities.

13. Once all the planning is done with the MF50 then comes the EXECUTION ie) our confirmation.

14. In REM production confirmation is called as MATERIAL BACK FLUSH.

15. you can access the Material back flush with MFBF.

16. HERE in MFBF you can have some mandatory parameters like Quantity, material, production version, date etc which has to be given as input , and the system will in turn perform the back flush.

17. the MFBF is single screen which allow you to perform the below function
* Material back flush
* Excess consumption
* scrap posting
* Only activity posting
and few more.

18 Once the back flush is done the stock gets posting

19. You also have cogi/mf47 FOR clearing the post goods movement errors for automatic posting.


Hope the above process flow will be useful for someone to get introduced to REM. Again this is a short glimpse .
You can post your questions as comments , which will be answered by Me.

Kanban - For SD
Introduction:


In my previous posts we have seen on the Kanban for the Inhouse, External procurement, interestingly we do have kanbans for the Customers also.
In the Current manufacturing world the kanban is involved in the full production to sales of a Product.
There are many articles / Case studies / White papers that flows when you google for this topic.


Scenario:


The manufacture produces the material and supplies to the customer in a Kanban container.
This kanban containers is in cyclic movement between the Customer and the Supplier.
Large automobile giants currently are working on this kanban with lot of automation's.
The manufacture can use REM / Discrete Production method as per the business requirement.
I have taken the example of REM environment.
In this post i will guide you to set up this scenario.
Master Data Requirement:
1. Material Master, BOM, Routing,Workcenter,Production version - All this for the REM setup.
2. The material master should support sales functions
3. Customer Material Information.
4. Kanban Control cycle.
Configuration Pre Requisites:
1. OM11- Inhouse replenishment strategy
* Control Type - as 2-Processing with Planned orders and Cost collector.
* In this Kanban With SD needs to be selected with 1-Delivery what status Full and GI when status is in use.
2. SD- Scheduling Agreement Document type
* You can use BL, check the MRP for Dlv Schedule type to the correct one.
I have worked with A.
Process Flow:
1. Set up the Master data for the FG so that it is ready for reporting Production.
2. Now Create a Scheduling agreement for the FG material.
3. Here in the Forecast delivery Schedule you can maintain few values ( 1000 ea) for next 3 months.
4. The assumption is the Customer gives us a Forecast delivery schedule well ahead of time and periodically sends us the JIT delivery schedule.
5. Once you have set up the scheduling agreement create the control cycle for FG, in this you have to maintain the SD scheduling agreement in the In house replenishment strategy.
6. Once your Control cycle and SD scheduling agreement is ready , the kanban cycle can get started.
7. Now whenever we receive the JIT delivery schedule we wil update the quantity in the JIT delivery schedule of the SD Sched. Agreement.
8. Now let us say the Empty kanban container is received from the customer then during the receipt of this empty container the status of the container will be changed as EMPTY,
* This status change will trigger a Planned order created for the Fg.
9. As the planned order is triggered now the Manufacturing department will be producing the product and filling the container.
* Once the container is Full now the Status will be changed form EMPTY TO FULL.
* This Status change will trigger a DELIVERY to be created for the Scheduling Agreement.
* At the same time a GOODS RECEIPT /ISSUES will be posted for the PLANNED ORDER.
* STOCK Of the FG will be increasd.
10. Now as the container is full now it is ready to be transferred to the customer, so when the container is physically sent to customer place then the status of the container will be changed from FULL TO IN USE.
* This status change will do a PGI for the DELIVERY.
* The stock of FG will be reduced.
11. After this the Billing and other business process can be started.
12. This above process cycle will help you to configure the basic cycle of Kanban for the SD cycle,
13. The below Diagram is for reference.





Kindly Post your querries/ Feedback.
