Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • •. Describe the primary objects in PP basic data Explain the SAP definition of each PP basic data element. Business Example As a member of the project team in a company that manufactures pumps, you are responsible for the introduction of basic data. The defined basic data will be used in the procurement, scheduling and costing of all components and products necessary for the manufacturing of pumps.. Description of PP Basic Data PP basic data is required for product costing and for punctual procurement of products. Before you can enter basic data, you must have created organizational units and a plant. 1. 2. 3.. 2. You can then create material masters for all materials that are used or produced in the plant. Once you have created material masters with plant data, you can create BOMs and routings for a product. Define work centers for the plant. (They form the basis for operations in the routing.). © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(13) PLM111. Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production. Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production Lesson Overview This lesson covers the organizational levels and introduces you to document usage and classification.. Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • • •. Identify the PP organizational units Describe how to use document management and classification functions Navigate the PP menu paths. Business Example As a member of the project team, you must understand how PP basic data and master data are used.. Organizational Levels and Material Master Some material data is valid on all organizational levels, and other data is only valid for specific levels. The material master is arranged to allow material data to be managed centrally within the company. This prevents datasets from being unecessarily filled with redundant information. The material master reflects the structure of a company. The figure shows the structure of the material master record.. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 5.

(14) Unit 1: Overview of Organizational Structures & PP Basic Data. PLM111. Figure 2: Organizational Levels for the Material Master Record. You can save data at different company levels: • • •. Client level Plant level Storage location level. General material data that applies to the whole company is stored at the client level. Examples of this kind of data are material short texts, base units of measure and conversion factors for alternative units of measure. All data that applies to a plant and its assigned storage locations is stored at the plant level. An example of this type of data is work scheduling data. Production planning and execution take place at plant level. All data that applies to a specific storage location is stored at the storage location level. This data is mainly storage location stock. A plant is an organizational unit within a company. A plant is a place where valued goods and services are: • • • •. 6. Produced Stored Consumed Distributed. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(15) PLM111. Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production. Examples of plants include factories, central warehouses, corporate headquarters and sales offices. Basic data is used to: • • • • •. Determine materials staging Determine production methods with operation dates for an order Calculate start and finish dates for an order Identify available capacity and expected usage Calculate product and production costs. PP basic data: • • • • • •. Material BOM Routing Work center Production resources/tools Documents. Figure 3: Basic Data and Basic Functions. In manufacturing, everything revolves around material masters and BOMs, which determine the relationships between the materials used in production. Material masters must exist before a bill of material and its components can be created.. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 7.

(16) Unit 1: Overview of Organizational Structures & PP Basic Data. PLM111. Bills of materials indicate what materials are used to produce a product. The components in a BOM can be assigned to specific operations where they are required. Work centers must be defined before they can be used in an operation. Production resources and tools identify the tools needed to do the work. They can be assigned to operations. Documents created in document management can be assigned as components in BOMs, or as a PRT to routing operations. Standard R/3 texts can be created and assigned to PP basic data objects. The R/3 classification system can be used to group PP basic data according to user-defined attributes.. Figure 4: Routing Usage. A routing shows operations in a sequence and acts as a template for production orders. The planned time for each operation is stored in the routing as standard values. These standard values are the basis for: • • •. 8. Lead time scheduling Product costing Capacity planning. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(17) PLM111. Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production. Figure 5: Master Data in Production Orders. For the material you want to produce, you must set the procurement type to in-house production (X,E). You must maintain at least one plant-specific view (MRP and/or work scheduling) and the accounting and costing views for the material. You must create BOMs as single-level BOMs. Create routings as routings (generic).. Figure 6: Material Master Views. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 9.

(18) Unit 1: Overview of Organizational Structures & PP Basic Data. PLM111. The material master is used by all SAP R/3 logistics applications. It controls whether a material is purchased, produced or sold. Every area of responsibility can have a material master view. Because different user departments in a company work with the same material, and each of these departments wants to store different information on the material, you can subdivide material master data according to the department it belongs to. Each department has its own material master record view and is responsible for its data being correct. The data that you maintain in the following views is used by PP functions: • • • •. The basic data view includes general data such as the material number, material description, base unit of measure and technical data. Die The classification view contains user-defined class assignments for a material. The materials planning view contains plant-specific data used in procurement planning. The scheduling view contains plant-specific data used for scheduling materials for production.. BOM BOMs contain the materials used to produce a product. BOMs contain assemblies and components that flow into the production of a material. The figure shows the BOM for a pump.. 10. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(19) PLM111. Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production. Figure 7: Sample BOM: Pump. BOMs are used in material requirements planning, production, procurement and product costing. A BOM consists of a BOM header and BOM items. The base quantity in the header specifies the finished product quantity the item quantities are based on. BOM items indicate individual parts and assemblies, which are identified by their material numbers. BOMs are single level. A BOM item can also contain components, so that a multi-level production can be described by the single-level BOMs from the finished product, assemblies or assemblies of the assemblies (and so on). In addition to stock items, which flow into the finished product, a BOM can also contain documents or text items.. Work Centers, Routings, Production Resources/Tools and Document Usage A work center is a location that defines when and where production resources are required according to order requirements. In different companies, work centers are also called machine centers or capacity centers.. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 11.

(20) Unit 1: Overview of Organizational Structures & PP Basic Data. PLM111. Work centers can be defined as individual or multiple machines, people, tools and so on. Work centers are used in routings (routings, standard networks, inspection plans, maintenance task lists, rough-cut planning profiles) and in orders. Work centers can be used to collect capacity for statistical evaluations.. Figure 8: Work Center. A routing defines operations and the sequence in which they are carried out. The following is also defined in the routing: • • • •. 12. Where the work is to be done How long the work should take What materials are needed for each operation What tools, jigs and fixtures are required. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(21) PLM111. Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production. Figure 9: Routing. Production resources and tools (PRTs) are items that are used but not necessarily consumed during production. In SAP R/3 there are different types of production resources and tools to differentiate between different purposes. • • • •. 2003/Q2. Production resources and tools with material master Production resources and tools with document master Production resources and tools with equipment master Miscellaneous production resources and tools. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 13.

(22) Unit 1: Overview of Organizational Structures & PP Basic Data. PLM111. Figure 10: Description of Production Resources and Tools. Documents are basic data that can be used system-wide or on an individual basis depending on the document type. They can be linked to operations as PRTs or to a BOM using the item category. Documents are defined separately in the document management system. Documents can be specified as a component in a BOM or as a PRT document. If they are used as a PRT, they are assigned to an operation in a routing.. 14. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(23) PLM111. Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production. Figure 11: Document Usage. You define user authorizations for the document types in PP basic data in Customizing for the document management system.. Classification Classification supports the user-defined relationships among different objects in SAP R/3. Classification allows you to search for individual objects or groups of objects with similar values.. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 15.

(24) Unit 1: Overview of Organizational Structures & PP Basic Data. PLM111. Figure 12: Classification System. The purpose of classification is: • • •. To enable you to find objects To enable you to find similar objects To establish that no object matching a set of user-defined criteria exists. A prerequisite for these requirements is an appropriate classification system. The SAP classification system allows you to use matchcodes and mnemonic numbers to build such a classification system. The four parts of the classification system are: • • • •. 16. Characteristics maintenance Class maintenance Classification (assignments) Object search. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(25) PLM111. Lesson: Organizational Levels and Master Data in Production. Figure 13: Classification System Functions. An object is a unit that can be classified (such as material, supplier, work center and so on). A class is a name for a group of objects that have the same or similar attributes. A characteristic describes specifications of an object (such as length, standard, basic material and so on). A characteristic value gives an exact value for the characteristic (for example, 10cm, DIN 931, iron and so on). Procedure for class maintenance: 1. 2. 3. 4.. 2003/Q2. Define characteristics and allowed characteristic values Maintain the class, including assigning the characteristics Maintain the objects (for example, materials), including assigning them to one or more classes and assigning values to them Find objects. © 2004 SAP AG.

Unit Contents Lesson: Routing Structure and Routing Types................................... 24 Exercise 1: Routing Structure and Routing Types .......................... 27. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 23.

(32) Unit 2: Displaying Routings. PLM111. Lesson: Routing Structure and Routing Types Lesson Overview This unit explains the simplest way to display a routing and describes the process of the necessary work center maintenance.. Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •. Navigate through the routing and display all views. Business Example You want an get an overview of the production methods for a pump and display the routing for this pump.. Routing Structure In SAP R/3, routings are used to support various business functions. (For example?) You can also store more than one routing, including operations, for manufacturing a material in a routing structure.. Figure 14: Routing structure. 24. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(33) PLM111. Lesson: Routing Structure and Routing Types. A routing determines the sequence of individual operations that are necessary to produce a finished product. A routing contains operations and information about the work centers where the individual operations are carried out and about the standard times. Other important information included in the routing refers to the material components required for an operation as well as the necessary tools, jigs and fixtures (production resources/tools). If you want inspections to be carried out during an operation, you can assign inspection characteristics to the operation in a routing. The characteristic overview is the starting point for assigning an inspection characteristic. You can assign trigger points to operations in routings, so that later in the production order, certain functions are triggered when certain events occur. Such an event could be a specific confirmation from an operation.. Figure 15: Routing. You can combine routings with similar production cycles in a task list group. An alternative sequence additionally allows you to select alternative operations for a sequence of operations. This could be the case when using different work procedures for various lot sizes or when working around capacity bottlenecks. A parallel sequence allows you to process operations concurrently with others. The processing sequence is defined by the branch and return operations.. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 25.

(34) Unit 2: Displaying Routings. PLM111. Task List Types. Figure 16: Task list types. The task list types are assigned to the different applications. A standard routing describes material-related production in production planning. A reference operation set is not material-specific . Reference operation sets can be used as references and as templates for standard routings. A rate routing describes material-related production within a production line and is used mostly in repetitive manufacturing. A reference rate routing helps you create rate routings. Master recipes are used in the process industry. Rough-cut planning profiles are used in Sales and Operation Planning. Standard networks are network structures that are independent of any particular project and that can be used as a template in the creation of operative networks. Using standard networks to create networks can save time if different projects have the same operations. An inspection plan is used for carrying out quality inspections and for measures that are relevant to production, such as goods inspection on receipt.. 26. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

Lesson: Structure of the Engineering Workbench Interface Lesson Overview This lesson explains how to use the Engineering Workbench to create and change routings and provides additional information.. Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •. Expand routings using the Engineering Workbench. Business Example Because you are responsible for maintaining routings in the project team, you want to know how to create and change routings using the Engineering Workbench.. Worklist and Screen Layout The Engineering Workbench is a maintenance environment for product structures and PP objects; its capabilities far exceed those of the conventional maintenance of BOMs and routings. You do not have to process routings and BOMs separately. The most important objects of the Engineering Workbench are BOM items and operations. Views are applied to these objects, which then further enable the conventional BOM or routing structures to be used. These views support the full extent of the processing functions, such as: • • • •. Creating Changing Displaying Deleting. The worklist contains the selected objects, so that they can be displayed, changed or newly created in the Engineering Workbench. The system copies these objects from the database into the worklist. Only when the worklist has been saved following the processing of objects, are new objects created in the database or existing ones changed or deleted.. 60. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(69) PLM111. Lesson: Structure of the Engineering Workbench Interface. Figure 24: Worklist: Use. The screen of the Engineering Workbench is divided in three sections: • • •. Toolbar Cockpit Overview. Figure 25: Screen layout. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 61.

(70) Unit 4: Creating a Routing. PLM111. The toolbar provides the user with currently available functions that are represented by icons. The cockpit controls the Engineering Workbench. It is always available and consists of three sections: Process using This section is where you enter a key date or a change number to process the objects in the worklist. You need to enter a key date or a change number when you add, change, or delete an object. Effectivity window This section is where you can display a particular time segment of the worklist. Context This section is where the hierarchical relationships of objects in the overview screen are displayed. This screen contains one input line each for material, BOM and item. The overview lists objects that are contained in the worklist and that match the entries in the effectivity window and in the context. It provides information about the objects and change statuses of a particular object type.. Origin of the Default Values The default values from the work center can be references. You can also specify maintenance rules for standard values in a routing. You can specify default values in a profile for each routing usage. Only in a routing can the reference indicator protect from overwriting.. 62. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • •. Assign material components to operations Maintain variable-size items with cutting measures. Business Example You are responsible for the correct staging of material components for the operation. Therefore you have to assign these components to operations and, if necessary, adjust the BOMs.. Material Assignment Material components must be assigned to operations.. Figure 27: Material assignment. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 65.

(74) Unit 4: Creating a Routing. PLM111. You can assign and display material components for separate operations in the material component overview. For a clearer overview, you can use different criteria to filter or sort the material component list. You can • • •. Assign a new component Delete and reassign material assignments Navigate between multiple operations. You can maintain BOMs completely without having to leave routing maintenance.. Figure 28: Assigning a variable-size item. When you maintain the BOM, the final measurements are specified for the variable-size items. If you require a large cutting measure for the production of this BOM item, you can specify this when you assign the operation. Only those involved in material staging get these measurements.

(92) Unit 5: Engineering Workbench. PLM111. Lesson: Structure of the Engineering Workbench Lesson Overview This lesson explains the structure of the Engineering Workbench and copy features. You will learn how to navigate in the Engineering Workbench and use the browser.. Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • •. Use the Engineering Workbench for extensive routing maintenance Use the EWB browser functions. Business Example You would like to find the optimum maintenance environment for permanent changes which allows multiple users to make changes simultaneously. You would also like to create new master data and link it in a hierarchy.. Functions of the Engineering Workbench The Engineering Workbench is a tool for integrated processing of BOMs and routings. This means that both object types and their links are maintained simultaneously and in detail with the same user interface. Why the Engineering Workbench? • • • • • •. Support for complex planning processes Parallel processing Selecting specific objects from routings and BOMs Integrated processing of operations and items Setting targeted locks Representation of the development of change statuses. The concept of the Engineering Workbench however, goes far beyond the conventional maintenance of BOMs and routings. For example, all transactions for the conventional maintenance of these objects are brought together, and extensive change management is offered. If you use complex selection criteria, which can be combined in any way, the resulting data then contains no unwanted additional information – helping you to achieve and quick overview.. 84. © 2004 SAP AG.

(93) PLM111. Lesson: Structure of the Engineering Workbench. The integration of an object browser as well as various viewers and the digital mockup viewer makes the workbench a central object within PLM.. Figure 31: Processing Objects Simultaneously. Any number of operations from any number of routings can be processed at the same time by different people. The same applies to different BOM items. If you want to process an operation that is already being processed by someone else, the Engineering Workbench gives you information to show you who to contact so that you can consult with the other processor. The processor can then release the operation (for example the BOM item) for you, without interrupting their work on other objects.. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 85.

(94) Unit 5: Engineering Workbench. PLM111. Structure of the Engineering Workbench. Figure 32: Structure of the Engineering Workbench. In order to display or process an individual object using the Engineering Workbench, you must select the corresponding object. Examples of objects are: • • • • •. The header of a routing The operation and suboperation The production resource/tool, trigger point and inspection characteristic The BOM header The item and subitem in the BOM. An object can also take the form of an assignment between individual objects. Examples of assignment objects are material-routing assignments, material-BOM assignments and component assignments.. 86. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 2003/Q2.

(95) PLM111. Lesson: Structure of the Engineering Workbench. Figure 33: Working Area 1. You do not have to process routings and BOMs separately. You simply choose the engineering object type, for example, material, operation and so on you want to work with. You group your choices together in a working area. The working area consists of the focus and the working environment. Focus The object type you use for selection. The focus also controls the input screen for the selection. Focus objects can be: Routing headers, operations, BOMs or items. Note: In the figure Working Area 1, the operation is the focus. Working environment Consists of the object types you want to display and process. All remaining object types in the working environment that have not been restricted by the working area can be contained in the Workbench. In the working area you determine which object types you are interested in. A working area can be specially adapted to particular requirements for processing, for example, for production or engineering/design. In the figure Working Area 2, the operation is the focus. The object types PRT, trigger point, inspection characteristic and subitem are excluded.. 2003/Q2. © 2004 SAP AG. All rights reserved.. 87.
