Processes and requirements

Some car manufacturers (OEM) order individual parts within a sequenced JIT call

(JIS call)

Multiple parts have to be delivered as one assembled part (part group/module)

The Part Group Determination is used to combine related parts into the different

part groups

Some examples for part groups are:

Left/right exterior mirror

Left/right front seat, back seat

Door panels front right, front left, back right, back left

A-, B-. C-, D-pillar left and right respectively

Etc.

Motivation

The SAP ERP Standard provides a number of functions to perform a Part Group

Determination

These standard functions require that a part is always assigned to the same part

group

If that is no longer guaranteed you have to define your own logic for the Part

Group Determination

Some examples for complex logics are:

Seat heater module is ordered with quantity 2 and has to be split to the two front seats

Window control element for all four windows always has to be mounted into the door

panel of the driver side (depending on the driver side: front left or front right door)

Speakers ordered with quantity 4 have to be split to all four door panels. If the same

speakers are ordered with quantity 2 they have to be split to the front door panels

Concept and approach

Design Workshop to define the precise requirements

Customer call behavior

Definition of the internal part groups

Definition of the Part Group Determination logic

Based on the design workshop results, costs are estimated and the Part Group

Determination is implemented

Possible realization scenarios

Configurable material

Material classification

Z-Tables

Etc.

Especially for the delivery to multiple sequence customers with different Part

Group Determination logics we recommend to separate the different logics per

JIT customer by using the ACS Exit Control Framework

Part Group Determination Profile

Determination of the part group material via User-Exit

10© SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Possible scenario (1)

Classification of all call components. The logics for the Part Group Determination are

based on this classification.

Possible scenario (2)

Assignment of call components via cross-plant configurable material (according to

Standard).

Components that cannot be assigned are allocated to neutral materials. The determination

of the part group material takes place in the User-Exit according to additional logics.
