Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Release a production order.
• Post goods issues.
• Confirm a production order.
• Post a goods receipt.
• Execute a production order using the functions of process integration.
Business Example
You release a production order, post the good issues, confirm the order, and finally post the goods receipt.
In an alternative scenario you also test the execution of a production order using the functions of process integration.
Task 1:
You release your production order for material T-SCM372-PP-##, post the good issues, confirm the order, and finally post the goods receipt.
1. Choose transaction MD04
(SAP menu: Logistics → Production → Shop Floor Control → Control → Stock/Requirements List) to display the stock/requirements list for:
Material: T-SCM372-PP-##
Plant: 1000
2. Double-click the MRP element PrOrd.
Choose icon Change Element in the dialog box Additional Data for MRP Element.
Choose icon Release Order in the production order.
Save your production order.
After saving, the stock/requirements list appears again. Choose the Refresh icon.
The production order is marked as released.
3. Choose transaction MB1A
(SAP menu: Logistics → Production → Shop Floor Control → Goods Movements → Goods Issue) to post the goods issues for your production order.
Choose button To Order…
Pop up Reference: Order:
Order: <order number>
Check the proposed materials and quantities and post the goods issues.
4. Choose transaction CO15
(SAP menu: Logistics → Production → Shop Floor Control → Confirmation
→ Enter → For Order) to confirm your production order.
Order: <order number>
Confirmation Type: Auto. Final Conf.
Check and accept the proposed Yield to conf..
Save the confirmation.
5. Choose transaction MB31
(SAP menu: Logistics → Production → Shop Floor Control → Goods Movements → Goods Receipt) to post the goods receipt for your production order.
Movement Type: 101 Order: <order number>
Plant: 1000
Check the proposed material and quantity and post the goods receipt.
6. Check the actual situation for your material T-SCM372-PP-## in the stock/requirements list.
Your production order has been removed from the list. The Available Qty has been increased from 0 to 10 PC as a result of the goods receipt.
Task 2:
In an alternative scenario you also test the execution of a production order for your material T-SCM372-PP-## using the functions of process integration.
1. Enter the stock/requirements list for material T-SCM372-PP-##.
Convert the remaining planned order to a production order.
Release the production order.
Choose the Generate Control Instructions icon to generate the control instructions for your production order.

Save your production order.
2. Choose transaction CO53XT
(SAP menu: : Logistics → Production → Shop Floor Control → Process Integration → Control Instructions → Monitor Control Instructions/Recipes) to enter the control instruction monitor.
Select the control instruction for your production order:
Plant: 1000
Manufacturing order:
<number of your production order>
3. In the monitor, select your control instructions and choose Send.
To check whether the control instructions have been sent, choose Update if necessary.
The control instructions should have Sent status.
4. Choose transaction CO60XT
(SAP menu: Logistics → Production → Shop Floor Control → Process Integration → Work Instructions → Find) to find the work instructions for your production order.
Select your work instructions:
Plant: 1000
Manufacturing order: <number of your production order>
5. Access the work instructions for the Work Center 1 operating group in change mode and maintain the work instruction.
Report the start of your work instruction with your digital signature. Sign with your SAP user ID and your SAP password.
The signature triggers the creation a SAP standard process message of type PP_OPST to post a time event confirmation for the start of the first operation 0010.
In a material list you find the components required for operation 0010. A SAP standard process message of category PP_CONS will be created for each component to post the goods issues.
At last, report the end of your work instruction with your digital signature.
The signature triggers the creation a process message of type PP_OPST to post a time event confirmation for the end of the first operation 0010.
Complete your work instruction.
6. Choose transaction CO54XT
(SAP menu: Logistics → Production → Shop Floor Control → Process Integration → Process Messages → Message Monitor) to enter the process message monitor.
Select the process messages for your production order:
Plant: 1000
Order: <number of your production order>
7. In the monitor, select your process messages and choose Send Message.
The messages of type PP_OPST post the start and the end of operation 0010 with time event confirmations.
The messages of type PP_CONS post goods issues for the two components.
The message of type PI_CRST posts the completion of the work instruction.
8. Optional:
You could check now the results of the maintenance of your work instruction and the sending of your process messages in your production order.
Display your production order and check e.g. the header status and the operation status for operation 0010, the confirmed dates for operation 0010, the withdrawal quantities for the material components, the cost analysis, and the list of documented goods movements.
A goods receipt could be posted by a process message of type PP_PROD in your last work instruction for the Work Center 5 operating group.
