Chapter 6

1 Magal and Word | Integrated Business Processes with ERP Systems | © 2011

Learning Objectives1. Describe the master data associated with

the production process.2. Identify the key steps in the production

process and the data, documents, and information associated with each step.

3. Effectively use SAP® ERP to execute the key steps in the production process.

4. Effectively use SAP ERP to extract meaningful information about the production process.

Types of ManufacturingDiscrete vs. repetitive vs. process Discrete and repetitive

Tangible productsManufactured in individual units Skateboards, bicycles

Repetitive manufacturingSame or similar products are produced over a

period of timeA specified quantity is produced over a period of

timeDiscrete

Batches of different materials over timeMagal and Word | Integrated Business Processes with ERP Systems | © 2011

Bill of MaterialsIdentifies the components needed to make

Material planningProduction ProcurementProduct costing


Single-level and Multi-level BOMs


Bill of Materials for Touring Bikes


Bill of Materials for Off-road Bikes


Bill of Materials - HeaderApplies to the entire BOMStatus: active, inactiveBase quantity: materials specified are

needed to make the base quantity (typically 1 unit).

Usage: production, engineering, costing, etc.

Plant: each plant can have a different BOMValidity: date range


Bill of Materials - ItemsApply to the specific item in the BOMItem category:

Stock item – must have a material masterNonstock item – no material masterVariable-sized item – must specify sizeDocument item – diagrams, additional instructions

Component AssignmentSpecifies the relationship between a BOM

and a routingAssigns components (materials) in a BOM

either to a routing or to a specific operation within routingIf not assigned assumed to be assigned to

the first operation


Component Assignment


Production CapabilityA measure of how many units of a material

a plant can produce within a given timeframe

A data source for production planning

Preliminary Cost Estimates for Men’s Off-road Bike


Cost Estimates in a Production Order


Planned cost: planned cost for planned quantityBased on material and labor cost estimates

Target cost: planned cost for actual quantity

Actual cost: actual cost for actual quantity

Demo 6.5 Create a Production OrderReview how to create a production order


Order ReleaseOn creation order status is created (CRTD)Order must be released (REL) to permit

subsequent steps such as Goods movement not possibleConfirmations not possibleDocuments cannot be printedSettlement


Elements of the Order Release Step


Order ReleaseAutomatic or manual

If no time is needed between creation and release for preparation, then release occurs automatically

Release at different levelsHeader: All operations are releasedOperations: Release specific operations

Operations status: RELOrder status: PREL (partially released)


Order Release - OutcomesExecution of subsequent steps is possibleShop floor papers can be printedCommunication with PDC is possible

Overhead CalculationIndirect costs

Supervisor, manager, other salariesUtilities

Accumulated in cost centersPeriodically allocated to production orders

based on predetermined rules


Work-in-Progress DeterminationWork-in-progress (WIP) inventory

Inventory between GI and GR inventoryPeriodically the value of what is in the

production process is calculated and posted to the general ledger

Not essential For short production processesValue of materials is not highGBI

Essential When value of materials is high Production takes weeks, months, or yearsAircraft production, construction.


SettlementSettle the difference between planned and

actual costs (variance)Only panned costs are posted in the GR stepVariance is settled in this step
