Ans: PP = Production Planning
SAP Poduction Planning (PP) is one the largest functional module in SAP. This module deals with all production processes like Capacity Planning, Master Production Scheduling, Material Requirement Planning & more...
The Production Planning module of SAP takes care of Master data needed like Bill Of Materials, Routings and Work Centers and stores it in one separate component.
Q2. Can we create Production order without bom and routing?
Ans: yes we can create a production order without BOM & routing.Change the Config in OPL8 ( order type dependent parameters)as routing optional. But it may ask for a sales order when we try to create order using CO01
Ans: In case, of Co-product costs are settled with an apportionment structure. In case, of By-product the price of this by-product is credited to the order or the material stock account of the lead material being manufactured. Co-Product as well as by-product are defined as BOM Components/Items. Both of them have negative quantities. ( Not all negative quantity items fall under these categories!). When BOM is created for FERT, you can see one indicator in COMPONENT DETAILS screen for co-product. You need to define the co-products with this special indicator
Ans:
For orders:
For PI:
Some other tables of interest:
PLKO, MAPL, PLAS.
Q6. What is the difference between PP and PP-PI? Which one is better and how?
Ans: PP--> Prodction Planning mostly used for descrete type of
industries , where at the time of confirmation the output is
sure to be fixed. eg Automobile
PP- PI--> Production Planning for Process Industries , here
mostly used for the typical chemical industries , as the
Yield is not fixed due to chemical reaction yield values can
be varied to noticable extent. Eg X+Y =Z some 10 kg of X
and 1 KG of Y givs yiled that is Z of 10 Kg only.
Ans: The costing Parameters are the following
Work center : Activity types and the formulaes,cost center
Routing : the time ,activity types
In Production order dependent parameters we are defining
the Variant ,result analysis key,settlement profile
In the controlling i.e in KP 26 we will be defining the
rates per hour depending on the rates it will reflect the
cost caluculating from the routing..
Ans: How many components are there on each level?
BOM IS A multilevel,
we can assign bom level by level cs11,
level 1 bom header material assembly levelcontains components which also have bom contains
level 2 bom sub assembly level
last lower level is level 3 components level
Ans: Yes, you can attach a drawing. First create a document using Transaction Code “CV01N – Create Document”. Attach your drawing in that document. The system will generate a document number. Assign this document in the BOM with item category D. Report in Long Term Planning – You use long term planning for your customers, what they need are very simple, just to calculate future requirements for 1 or 2 years.
Ans: Routing in SAP PP is referred to a list of activities which are required to produce any material. For example, when you do cost estimation for the material, the system triggers the relevant routing and activity rates for all those described in routing. Which will helpful to calculate the processing cost in product costing.
Ans: You need a list of material requirement from long term planning result for each item. Use MS70 then use MCEC.
Ans: According to me COGI is basically a SAP standardised system
which will tell you that what is the error in some cases it
can rectify it too.
But if the entry is done manually by MB1A, MB1B, MB1C you
have to bring back or cancell the movement or move the
stock to desired material and then refresh COGI.
Ans: A ‘BOM (Bill of Material)’ is nothing but a structured list of components (with the object number, quantity, and unit of measure) that go into the making of a product or an assembly. Depending on the industry sector, they may also be called recipes or lists of ingredients. The structure of the product determines whether the bill of material is simple or very complex.
Ans: Product Cost Controlling information system generates information for following areas
Ans: There are two ‘Technical Types of BOM’ supported in SAP:
Ans: In production version, we assign the BOM and ROUTING
combination. And in case of alternate BOMs , it clears which
alternative bom has to be selected automatically.
Ans: While a ‘Variant BOM’ groups together several BOMs that describe different objects (for example, different models of a car) with a high proportion of identical parts, a Multiple BOM groups together several BOMs that describe one object (for example, a product) with different combinations of materials for different processing methods.
The Variant BOMs are supported for the following BOM categories:
Material BOMs
Document structures
Equipment BOMs
Functional location BOMs
Multiple BOMs are only supported for Material BOMs.
Ans: “Work Centers” are business objects in SAP-PP that is used in task list operations ( routings, maintenance task lists, inspection plans) and work orders.
Data in work center is used for
Ans: A ‘BOM Group’ is a collection of BOMs that lets you describe a product or a number of similar products. The value in the BOM group field uniquely identifies the BOM group. You can use the BOM group as an alternative way of accessing the BOM. A BOM group comprises either all the alternatives of a multiple BOM or all the variants of a variant BOM.
When you create a BOM group, the system checks the special characters you use. Apart from the usual alphanumeric characters, you can use the following special characters: ‘-’,‘/’,‘_.’ You cannot use blanks.
Ans: it is the process of multiplying the requirement by the
usage quantity and recording the appropriate requirements
throughout the product tree
Ans: The following are the various Categories of BOM:
Ans: This role contains a function for evaluating the MRP result. This function can be used to find information about the availability of material and to identify any material shortage situation.
Ans: There are different scenarios in SAP PP module.
Ans: You need a list of material requirement from long term planning result for each item. Use MS70 then use MCEC.
It can be integrated with various SAP applications like SAP-SD, PP, PP-SOP, PP-LTP, PP-SFC, etc.
Ans: Delete the members in the product group and then archive the product group in transaction SARA, object=MM_MATNR. (The product group is created as a material master record with material type PROD and this record is deleted in SARA.)
Ans: generally we have following BOMs
Ans: Without BOM and routing you can create a production order by changing the config in OPL8 ( order type dependent parameters) as routing optional. When we try to create an order using C001 it may ask for a sales order.
Ans: CK11n is used for standard cost estimation.
to run that we have to run ck24 also.
Use CK40N f0r 100 products
