1. If you have released Prdn order today and it had gone to shop floor.

Next day
it was found that there is shortage of material. What will you?
2. How you define Standard Cost and Variable cost in PP?
3. Where can you find Read PP Master in SAP(PP)?
4. What are all the settings done for configuring integration of PP with FICO?
1. Do availability check. You will get missing parts list. Procure those missing parts.
Then confirm the production order. One more thing you can do, change customize
setting so that user cannot release if parts are missing during order release.
2. Standard cost is the cost which is fixed for a period, variable cost is varying with
period. As for example cost of semi finished, finished materials are fixed & cost of
raw materials are varied.
3. You will find in master data tab page of production header data overview, CO02 -
Read PP Master Data. Also from Functions menu you will get Read PP Master Data.
This means that you want the system to re-update the production order with the latest
BOM structure.

4. Assigning of Cost center to work center. Assigning Activity type to work center,
Standard Cost estimate, Costing Run, Order settlement, Product costing. *--

1. Can MRP be carried out for one particular level of a bom ( Level code :
0001/0002 etc).
Yes it can be done by running for specific materials (Single Material Single Level)
2 How Requiements( PIR,Sles Order, Customer Requirement) are reduced
after they are produced?
Reqmts are reduced automatically after Delivery is made to the Particular Order
(In case of Strategy 11, the PIRs are consumed after the GR for Production Order)
3. Can't one material be assigned to more than one operation in a routing?
One material from a BOM CANNOT be assigned to different Operations.
It can be done by defining the material for so many times as required in the BOM
4. How to insert an inspection checkpoint at the end of an operation?
If in process sample is to be defined, assign inspection type 03 in the Material
Master.
Then create MICs and assign them in the Routings.
System automatically generates the Inspection Lots
5. Where we have to specify the teardown time in one operation?
Teardown time can be defined as one of the Standard Parameters...
6. How the process time is calculated in a WC when both labour, Machine
categories exist?
Scheduling is done based on the Capacity Category we define in the Workcenter
7. How to create opbject dependencies in a BOM FOR A CONFIGURABLE
MATERIAL?
Go to Extras -> Object Dependency -> Assign
For this U need to create Characteristics and Class (of Class Type 300) earlier
8. Can any body explain me why work scheduling view is required for semi
finished and finished products?
(Because we'll mention all details in MRP views)
A) We need to maintain working scheduling view in order to make that finished or
semi finished goods available for
production as we assign production scheduler and production scheduler profile in
this view, if not maintained
conversion of planned order to production will not be possible.
What are the cutover activities followed for PP module?
I am listing some cut over activities to be followed (for PP - Discrete Manufacturing).
Production Planning / Master data:
For Production planning, only master data shall be migrated to SAP. In the 1st Stage,
there is no master data. Following is the master data elements relevant for PP:
- Bill of materials
- Routing.
- Work Centres.
Transaction data:
As of the cut off date, ideally there should not be any work in process. All the open
production orders should be closed and semi finished goods should be dismantled and
should be added to Raw materials. This strategy should be followed for all production
orders where lead time to complete the production order is not large.
Since, the production orders are for longer duration and it is not possible to dismantle
the product and add it to inventory, following can be the strategy for migrating the
data to SAP:
- Create a material master for the work in process and set the standard price as the cost
incurred for that product (ie. Work in process)
- Create a bill of material (which will be used only for this production order) including
this material and other materials still to be consumed.
- Create Routing for rest of the production process.
- Bring the work in process material into inventory as of the cut off date.
- Create the production orders in SAP for the Work in process and issue materials to
production order.
Complete the production process after the cut off date of the project.

What happens to planned after it has been converted into production order?
When you convert Planned order to Production order. the planned order are offset by
production order. Reference of planned order can be seen in the production order.
How to attach a drawing for a material to BOM? Is it possible?
Yes, you can attach a drawing.
First create a document using Transaction Code "CV01N - Create Document".
Attach your drawing in that document.
The system will generate a document number. Assign this document in the BOM with
item category D.
Report in Long Term Planning - You use long term planning for your customers,
what they need are very simple, just to calculate future requirements for 1 or 2
years.
Are there any reports in SAP to list of material requirement from LTP?
You need a list of material requirement from long term planning result for each
item.
Use MS70 then use MCEC.
Scheduling planned order - How can you get planned orders scheduled so that
you can do capacity leveling?
MD11 and then Schedule works fine but ideally you would want the the planned
order scheduled automatically on creation? You have tried setting up an action
to schedule the orders but cannot get that to work either.
When running MRP, try selecting "2" in the scheduling box this will bring planned
orders into CM01 and CM21
Capacity planning CM01 - When you run capacity planning T-code: CM01, you
found the plan orders are not included in the pegged requirement, you checked
the profile, the check box for order and plan order are all actived.
Guess that planned orders have been created without capacity requirement indicator in
MRP ("2" - Lead Time scheduling), if this is the case, then when converted to process
orders they will have impact on the Resource. If you want to see them as planned
orders, re-run the MRP or change in every planned order, going to the Menu: Edit -->
Scheduling
Another couple of possibilities are to do with the routing/work centres used and
whether it isactually calculates consumption of capacity of the category at the work
centre being displayed in CM01 (it might consume a capacity pool or it might not
consume the category).
MPS in Backgound/Online - You want to run MPS for a plant either online or in
the background, but you do not get any results. If you run MPS for a single
material/plant, then everything is 100% OK.
You need to run a planning file and a consistency check first, transaction OMDO and
MDRE respectively you'll need to set up two jobs to do it but it is straight forward,
once you've done this set up the background job for MPS to run and do it in NEUPL
first time round and then change to NETCH after that.
What is the output of MPS run?
From MPS run you plan the materials which are of 'A' type in the abc analysis (80%
dollar value) that have to be planned before hand.
MPS is also a type of MRP only in which components just below the materials on
which MPS run is taken place, are planned.
Table for production order status - What is the table for finding status (for Ex
TECO ed prodn orders). We are not able to find from AFKO and AFRU tables
the status of production orders or at least the link tables if known can be
mentionned. You are unable to link the structure caufvd and IOHEADER
WITH AFKO and AFRU.
JEST is the table.
Data dictonary table for SOP planning data - You are using Standard SOP (Info
structure S076), in which table can you see the planning values that you
maintained in MC93 transaction?
You looked under table "S076" and did not see any values there.
Use T.Code MC95 to display your entries under the version which maintained the the
table S076.
Production order operation's component allocation - How does SAP know that
an operation has components as indicated by the component allocation
indicator? Tcode CO08.
Component allocation is done via routing maintenance or BOM maintenance for the
assembly. This is master data maintenance. As soon as a PO is created, the master
data is read into the PO.
How to delete groups of products?
How to delete a group of products that was created in screen MC84?
Delete the members in the product group and then archive the product group in
transaction SARA, object=MM_MATNR.
(The product group is created as a material master record with material type PROD
and this record is deleted in SARA.)
