SAP Best Practices is Based on the SAP enhancement package 5

Installation of New Functionality Separated From Activation via Switch Framework

PreambleSAP enhancement packages are shipped as a delta shipment to SAP ERP 6.0

Selective InstallationEach SAP enhancement package contains new versions of existing software components

You only update software components that are related to the functionality you want to use.

After installation: No UI or process change until a business function is activated No implications on the underlying NetWeaver platform. However, SAP enhancement

packages require defined ERP support package stack

Selective ActivationNew functionality must be explicitly switched on to become active in the system.

If activated: Changes are predictable. Only well-described changes in the activated areas Testing is simplified with templates, provided for every business functionMandatory

Optional

Existing scenario enhancements -I

Outbound Logistics (923) Enhancement of pricing procedure to capture actual freight costs

Recover actual freight costs from customer

Replacement scenarios for Repetitive Manufacturing with co-products and QM (906) (existingV1.603 release)

Repetitive Manufacturing with QM (992) and

Process Order with Co-Product and QM (993)

Reason: SAP functionality does not support cost apportionment

of co-products in the product cost collector

Current design:

Process order can better handle co-products cost allocations based on equivalence numbers

Repetitive manufacturing reflects Manufacturing with By-Products

(New) QM inspection characteristic values reflect in Batch

classification view


Existing scenario enhancements -II

Splitting of Subcontracting (External and Internal) (918) scenario Subcontracting (External) (918)

Subcontracting (Internal) (973)

Reason

Expose the two functionalities in separate scenarios with

enhancements

Current design

Subcontracting (External) scenario is enhanced

External subcontracting in procurement and external

subcontracting in Process order

In-time consumption posting to vendor’s stock. (EhP5

enhancement)


Existing scenario enhancements -III

Operational Maintenance (929)

The following enhancements are made: Creating a PR for a non-stock item by either by using BOM or directly

Creating a PR for a Service and its further processing by creating PO

and service entry sheet


EhP5 Functionality Enhancements and Newscenarios - Overview

Scenario Enhancements due to EhP5• Shift Notes, Shift report and shift confirmation in scenario number 907

New Scenario WIP Batch 996• Work in process tracking on operation / phase level of a production or process

order• Quantity based work in process stock analysis• Documentation of the actual characteristics / status of a product that is in

production

New scenarios in Plant Maintenance• Overhaul Management (886)• Refurbishment Management (887)• Work Clearance Management (888)• Swaps scenario (demo only-797)


New Plant Maintenance scenarios - Overview

Overhaul Management (886): This scenario describes the typical process of Overhaul / Shutdown maintenance of a plant. It covers the various functionalities like allocating budgets, creating a Project, WBS elements and networks. The settlement of the order operations to different cost receiving objects.

Refurbishment Management (887):

This scenario describes the process of repairing a damaged material / equipment and brings it back to the original operating condition and how to identify the material using split valuation and its related costs.

Work Clearance Management (888):

This scenario describes the procedure for lockout / tag out of a equipment to perform the maintenance activities of safely.

SAP Best Practices Chemicals Package:New Personal Object Worklists (POWLs)

The personal object worklists (POWLs) are a tool to visualize specific business objects. Starting from the POWLs, a user can launch transactions based on a selected business object which opens up in a new session in the client.The POWLs overview lists outlines the new POWLs used by the SAP Best Practices Baseline package and describes in which business scenarios they are used.


PROCUREMENT - Improved Scenarios:Overview New Features

Outsourced Manufacturing enables you to make your subcontracting processes more transparent and more efficient. An increasing number of companies in all areas of industry shift individual production steps, or the manufacture of a product to subcontractors (service providers). This SAP solution supports all of the essential aspects of your subcontracting process. This makes it easier for you to monitor your production process, and to react to unforeseen events.

Template Functions for Purchasing Documents

You are now able to save and load data entered in purchase requisitions and purchase orders as templates. • Faster Order Processing

• User-Friendly Order Handling

• Personalized purchase documents

This feature is used in scenarios with the following ID: 128,130,134, 136,139, 901, 902, 903, 904, 905, 918


MANUFACTURING - Improved Scenarios:Overview New Features

Shift Notes and Reports

Batch History

WIP Batch


Electronic Shift Notes & Shift Reports - Overview

Customer Pain Points• Shift Notes and Shift Reports are done on paper in a central place, therefore not always

accessible for all authorized users

• Shift Notes and Shift Reports cannot be analyzed electronically

Target Group• Employees on the shop floor

• Shift Managers

Key Features• Shift Notes can be created by all persons who are authorizes accordingly

• Shift Notes can be printed, sent by SAP-Mail and created as PDF

• Shift Reports summarize the main pre-defined concurrencies during a shift in a created PDF-format

• Shift Reports can be signed via a digital signature* by one or more authorized people

• Attachment of multiple documents (pictures, certificates, and so on)


Shift Report

Important events, occurrences and graphics within a defined period of time, that are summarized via PDF.

Events, occurrences and graphics Header data and company logo Shift notes Production-relevant data Maintenance-relevant data Graphics Customer specific data

Defined period of time Shift Selected period of time

The shift report can be signed via an electronic signature by one / several persons.


Shift Note

A shift note is a short note with regards to an event that cannot be recorded otherwise, e.g. as a completion confirmation or a maintenance notification. Examples include:

• An employee is late

• Notes regarding machines (ex. mounted coil, started device, …)

• Change of material

Change tracking

Enter reference to other objects in SAP (material master, maintenance notification, ...)

Batch History - Overview

Objective To provide one transaction and flexible environment for selection of relevant batch related

object types for batch history search from SAP and non SAP systems

To provide better end user satisfaction by removing high fault probability in obtaining batch information from various systems

Compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice guideline requirement for tracing the history of manufacture of each batch

Functional Enhancements New Index table approach to store information relevant to all batch related object types

from SAP/non SAP systems

Customizing settings in Batch Information Cockpit for Batch History search

User Interface for Batch History Selection Screen and Batch History Details

Working example to showcase batch history information from non SAP systems using SAP MII


Work-in-process batch – Objectives and Functional enhancements

Objectives of the new development Strengthen ERP-based Manufacturing capabilities for customers requiring only a light-

MES (Manufacturing Execution System)

Increased visibility and traceability of work-in-process through ability to put WIP on stock, send WIP to subcontractors and describe individual items in WIP by characteristics

Detailed tracking of material flow through production order from component to finished product on level of individual item enable more precise recalls

Capture & collect product characteristics throughout production

Functional enhancements WIP batches to model WIP on operation level, integrated into batch information cockpit,

batch where used list, order information system Inventory managed WIP-batches allow goods receipt and goods issue of intermediate

products on batch level Integration to production order split (split based on WIP-batches)
