Segregation of Valuable Components (ROHs/VERPs/SFGs) forreuse after Process order confirmation & after GR

By U.Nagarajan, HLL Lifecare Ltd

Purpose:

Segregation of valuable components (ROHs/VERPs/SFGs) for reuse (with the same batch number)

after Process order Confirmation & after GR against the process order

Procedural steps to be followed:

(1) Entry of the rejection quantity in the Scrap column and the GI and GR to be done as per the

procedure during the confirmation in transaction COR6N

(2) GR for the scrap materials to be done in transaction MB1C.

Steps in details:

Step 1:-

Let us consider the following BOM in which the valuable component (I101011007) is in level 3, so that

it will recover after the Level 1 GR:

Typical Production cycle in Process Industry

By R.Balaji, Infosys Technologies

The below production cycle explains the basic business flow in Process Industry. The flow is

generally focusing only on Production and Quality Management

Simple Production Cycle:

Consider all Raw materials are available in plant and production process yet to start, the following

stages are to be followed

1. Create Process Order

Here we are creating a process order based on the capacity of the equipments and resourceavailability

2. Release the Process order

Once Process order created, it has to be released for production, means system will check thescheduling, material availability, capacity planning, etc., and then release process takes place

3. Goods issue from the Stores

Once PO got released, goods issue against the process order will takes place

4. Start processing

Product process against the PO will start

5. Confirmation Process

After production, the final out put confirmation from the process will be entered

6. Goods Receipt Process

Goods receipt process plays a major role in any business here we have to do 101 movement typeand do the postings. In goods issue process they will issue the goods against PO in 261 movementtype.

7. Quality Approval and Release

Once GR from the production was made, the material will come to Quality control for approval. HereQC person will check the material and they will do the result recording and usage decision

8. Stock will appear in Unrestricted use for SALE / Further Process

Once usage decision was made the material will automatically moved into unrestricted use. The FG isready for sale

By keeping above all points in mind, the following masters and transactions are required to

proceed

Production Order Splitting

Production Order could be split due to following reasons:

1. When partial lot of order is to be handled from the rest due to quality reasons.

2. If capacity bottle necks exists.3. Material is committed for part of order qty.

Features:

1. The split operations and the material assigned are copied into the child order.2. The structure of the parent order does not changes while the split off operations are copied

into the child order

Status for parent order : SPLTStatus for the child order: SPLEFor operation : SPLT

Restrictions:

1. The parent order and the child order must be settled to same cost collector2. Read PP Master data is not possible3. Confirmations at header level is not possible

Steps to perform split:

1. In OPL8 Set the indicator cost collector2. Default Rule -Periodic settlement(PP2)3. CK11N do standard cost estimate4. KKF6N Create cost collector5. Create production order with op10,20,30,406. Go to op overview7. Select the op from which you want to split (exop20)8. Go to functions ----> Split order9. Enter the qty ,if necessary a different order type for the child order10. Execute11. Order will be splitted .12. The order can be splitted even from op10 itself13. Goto MD0414. Two orders will be created15. Go to op overview of each order and there you can see the splitting.

Routing Vs Task list Vs Work Procedure

By Mahesh

Task list means the task which has to carry out on the shop floor and these are six types as you have

mention.

Routing is one of task list and this consists the series of operations requires for the production of anassembly at shop floor.

Regarding the work procedure, you can define this in the work center default tab for the detailsabout the work center and how to operate. this will be copied in operations while creating routings.

Convert Planned Orders to Purchase requisitions and PurchaseOrders

By Mahesh

We can create planned orders & convert them into purchase requisition or into production order.

In the material master ,MRP2 view give the procurement type as 'X', for both internal & externalprocurement.

Also include purchasing view for this material.

When you run MRP using md02, a planned order will be created for the requirement (Eg: say 100 no'sgiven using transaction code MD61).

Use transaction code MD04 to view the stock/requirement list.

Here double click the planned order, you can see tabs such as convert into purchase requisition, intoproduction order, into process order.

Click convert into Purchase Requisition & enter 50 Nos. Then a Purchase Requisition will be createdwhich can be further converted into Purchase Order.

Again come to md04 screen.

You can see a planned order & Purchase Requisition for 50 no's.This planned order can be converted into production order & 50 no's can be produced internally.

Types of Subcontracting

By Chandra

There are two types of subcontracting relevant for PP module:

1. Operation subcontracting2. Assembly subcontracting.

Operation subcontracting: Within in-house production if some capacity bottlenecks exists in anyoperations then you can this job to some vendors to carryout this job at his premises and supply usthe semi-finished part. This can be done via control key example PP02 (external processing).

Assembly subcontracting: Total product can be given for subcontracting. We have to give the rawmaterials to vendors and they would supply the assembly. This can be done with specialprocurement type 30 with procurement type F.
