Master Data

1. Naming/numbering conventions2. General description3. Definition of organizational units4. Factory Calendar5. Enter the person or group of persons responsible for a group of materials in MRP within a plant(MRP

Controller)6. Define the people responsible for production(Person Responsible for the Supply Area)7. Do they require production versions that define materials, with which alternative BOMs or with which

task lists/master recipes8. Do they have different types of work centers and what are the differences between them (e.g.

labor work centers, machine work centers, production line)?9. To what other master data are your work centers linked (cost center etc.)?10. To determine the execution time, the capacity requirement and the costs you require standard values.

Which ones (labor time, machine time, set-up time etc.)?11. Should default values be maintained in the work center, which can be transferred into routings? 12. For which business processes do you require routings?13. Do they have different production methods for the same material (e.g. dependent on the lot

size)? Are there several routing alternatives for one material?14. Do they want to schedule the routings in order to determine the dates for all operations?15. Do you have an operation for which you envisage external processing, that is that your vendor

will process?16. To determine the execution time, the capacity requirement and the costs you require standard values.

Which ones (labor time, machine time, set-up time etc.)?17. Will you require special user-defined fields in your routing for information and printing purposes?18. Do you require standardized long texts for the operations (standard text keys)?19. Will you maintain production resources/tools that are used during the processing of your materials?20. What kind of production resources/tools do you require?21. Do you require inventory management for your production resources/tools?22. Will you require trigger points (such as all subsequent processes to be released up to final point , all

immediate process to be released etc.)?23. What functions will you want trigger points to perform?24. What system status do you want to you use?

Business Processes

1. List of material which comes under reorder point planning2. Is it necessary to manually change or complete certain data from the order?3. To determine the production dates and capacity requirements of the operations within an order, you

must schedule the order. Which types of scheduling do you want to use?4. Do you require material availability check during order creation? Should this check be carried out for

individual or for all components of an order?5. Do you have operations that are processed externally, that is to say not carried out in your

own company but given to a vendor who does the work in his own workshops (e.g. with Subcontracting processes or capacity bottlenecks)?

6. Do you ever need to split an existing production order on which work has already started into two separate production orders?

7. Do you want to integrate documents from the Document Management System (DMS) into the production order?

8. Do you want to use simulation orders, for example, to see what effect changes to original data (sales order, master data) have on a production order?

9. With which procedure do you want to release production orders?10. Do you release complete orders or single operations?11. Do you require material availability check during order release?12. It is possible to trigger certain functions automatically after the order release (for example, creation of

transport requirements, creation of inspection lots, printout of orders, creation of serial numbers). Do you want to make use of this?

13. Do you print production documents (e.g. operation control ticket, job ticket, pull list, confirmation slip, time ticket)?

14. Do you want to enter the withdrawal of material components for your order manually or post it automatically on the order confirmation (backflush)?

15. Are there any components in your company that require batch handling? Is batch determination used?
