Execution


General Notes and CautionsWarning: When working with other classmates at the same time in the same transactions within “SPRO”, tables will tend to lock up and you will only be able to display them. This is due to the fact that the system does not allow multiple users in the same transaction at the same time. To get passed this message, simply wait until the current user in the transaction is finished and then proceed.

Attributes: At times, certain attributes or fields may not appear to have the name of them in front of the user. To display the full name of the attribute or field, simply click within the field and then press the F1 key. This will bring up not only the title of the field, but it will bring up the full description of it to read.

The ## Symbol: When working with other classmates at the same time, you will be assigned your own unique identifier which is called the ## Symbol or the “Pound Pound” Symbol. This will be your identifier and is ASSIGNED FOR YOUR OWN USE ONLY!!! Please be cautious about other classmates attempting to use your identifier whether it is on purpose or not and if you suspect other classmates using it, inform your professor immediately so that fixes can be made accordingly. For example, if Ashley has an identifier of 09, Ashley’s company code will be US09.

The Search Tool: At times in this document, the instructions will ask you to search for something to put in a field. When it does this, simply click on the field itself and click on the icon to the right of it (it looks like a white square). Clicking on it will bring up another window and you will search from there. You may also search other field by clicking on the downward arrow that may be on the left or right of the field. It will bring up a drop down menu that will have options to choose from and click.

Where do I start? : There are three ways to proceed within the SAP system: Using the “SAP Easy Access” menu, using the “SAP Menu Bar”, and using the “SAP Customizing Implementation Guide” menu. All three of these are explained below:

1. The SAP Easy Access menu appears when you start a new session.2. The SAP Menu Bar also appears when you start a new session at the very top of the screen.

3. In the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide, there are two ways you may use to get here:

a. The first is to simply type “SPRO” in the transaction field at the top of the screen.b. Proceed through the path to get there. The path consists of the following:

(In the main menu of SAP, click on the black arrows on the left of these names) SAP menu ► Tools ► Customizing ► IMG ► Execute Project (double-click on “Execute Project”)

In the “Customizing: Execute Project” screen, click on the icon.

Saving: When the instructions to tell you to save data, always press the “Enter” key to validate. If there are error(s) that occur, they must be corrected before continuing to the next task. You will find errors from a transaction when there are red icons that appear in the message area. Messages that are yellow contain warnings and not errors. At times, these must be fixed in order to move on. However, most of the

time, they do not need to be fixed and you can simply enter through them. Green messages are obviously showing that nothing went wrong with the transaction and that you may proceed to the next task.Set Controlling Area Pop-Up: At times throughout this phase, there will be times when the system asks you enter your controlling area to clarify which controlling area you are configuring for.

If this should happen, in the “Set Controlling Area” pop-up, enter the following information:

Attribute Description Data ValueControlling Area Uniquely identifies a controlling area. NA##

Click on (CONTINUE (ENTER)).

This will get you into the next screen where the instructions will then tell you what to do for the task.

Enter Chart of Accounts Pop-Up: At times throughout this phase, there will be times when the system asks you enter your chart of accounts to clarify which chart of accounts you are configuring for.

If this should happen, in the “Enter Chart of Accounts” pop-up, enter the following information:

Attribute Description Data ValueChart of Accounts Key that uniquely identifies a chart of accounts. GL##


This will get you into the next screen where the instructions will then tell you what to do for the task.

Differences in Font: Throughout this phase you will see tables with different fonts used in the Data Value column. The normal Times New Roman indicates you enter exactly what is typed out except for the ## Symbol where you would put in your identifier. The italicized Times New Roman font indicates the data is looked up or found.

Attribute Description Data ValueTimes New Roman Font that tells you to enter what is written. Times New Roman

© SAP AG Page 12

Description: This is the first of four steps in which you specify parameters guiding the creation and release of production orders in your Dallas plant.

You will copy checking control parameters from Company Code US00 to your Company Code US##.

These parameters identify which inventory should be considered as available for use in a production order. GBI management has determined that production orders should be checked for inventory availability at both creation and release. This ensures that no order will be sent to the plant floor for production unless all materials (both raw materials and semi-finished goods) are available.



IV.2.6: Define Scheduling Parameters

Description: This is the second of four steps in which you specify parameters guiding the creation and release of standard production orders in your Dallas plant.

You will specify scheduling parameters associated with the Dallas Plant and your Production Scheduler. This step implements GBI management’s strategic decisions regarding production order scheduling:

orders are backwards scheduled, rather than forward scheduled. orders cannot be scheduled to begin in in the past (and hope that production can ‘catch up’). order lead time will not be automatically reduced (in the case the order is ‘running late’).



IV.2.7: Define Order Dependent Parameters
