Procedure:To Work with Process Orders


Several steps are part of a typical process using process orders:
1. Forecasting strategic material (using Sales and Operations Planning, for example)
2. Setting up the demand program (using planning strategies, including requirements
from sales department)
3. Using Material Requirements Planning to create planned receipts, if necessary
4. Convert planned orders to process orders
5. Execute process orders (capacity planning, material staging, confirmation, etc.)
6. Post goods receipt
7. Settle order
8. Batch record / archiving

The production version contains the production on line T-L3##.
Choose ENTER and choose Post with correction.
3. Look at the next screen and explain which components of assembly T-B10## were
backflushed on the line. Save.
a) The current BOM was exploded during the confirmation. The system
determined the materials to be backflushed in the BOM explosion. The all or
nothing principle applies, which means that all four materials displayed are
backflushed.
4. Go to the second session (planning table). Refresh the screen and look at the

5. How have the planned quantities changed?
____________________________________________________
____________________________________________________
a) The first planned order quantity is (or quantities are) reduced according to the
confirmation quantity. Explanation: For demonstration purposes, the
backflushwas made with a date (today) that is before the actual production
dates. The confirmation quantity is therefore interpreted as over-production
that reduces subsequently planned orders accordingly (firstplanned orders
first).

leveling purposes. For this reason, you must know how to evaluate your capacity situation
by using business intelligence (BI).
Use BI to perform capacity evaluation.
Task 1
Planners need to view a list of overloaded work centers during capacity planning. The
overload report can be used to display only the overloaded work center of a plant using
standard reports.
1. Use the overload report to display a list of work centers that have an overload in
plant 1000 for capacity planner group 099. All participants will use the same group
number, 99.

Task 2
Your company had decided to implement SAP NetWeaver BW and your department wants
to see what potential it has in capacity planning. To make reports more user friendly,
critical information must be clearly visible to identify the areas that can create problems.
Examine how BI queries can assist planners in identifying potential issues.
Note:
In this training environment, the SAP ERP server has been partitioned and SAP NetWeaver BW
has been installed on client 900. A CATT has already loaded your available capacity and
capacity requirements into InfoCube 0PP_C13. You will be using the slightly modified query
0PP_C13_0002.

1. From your user menu, launch query Capacity Load Utilization (Distributed Reqs)
Over Time to review your capacity situation for work center T-L99 in plant 1000.

In business, users always like to customize or in the case of BI, personalize their queries.
Use the modified query, 01PP_C13_0002, and make some adjustments to improve the
ease of use of the query.
1. Based on your first task of analyzing the BI query, there is too much irrelevant data
(periods). Access the selection screen and reduce the visibility of the report to
include only the next 12 weeks.
2. Now that you have adjusted a reasonable date range, view your query in a
graphical format. Alter the report to show different types of graphs.
3. Close the query by exiting the browser.

Business Example
Your company has provided you access to SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (SAP
NetWeaver BW). You want to investigate the queries that are available to you for capacity
leveling purposes. For this reason, you must know how to evaluate your capacity situation
by using business intelligence (BI).
Use BI to perform capacity evaluation.
Task 1
Planners need to view a list of overloaded work centers during capacity planning. The
overload report can be used to display only the overloaded work center of a plant using
standard reports.
1. Use the overload report to display a list of work centers that have an overload in
plant 1000 for capacity planner group 099. All participants will use the same group
number, 99.

.
Task 2
Your company had decided to implement SAP NetWeaver BW and your department wants
to see what potential it has in capacity planning. To make reports more user friendly,
critical information must be clearly visible to identify the areas that can create problems.
Examine how BI queries can assist planners in identifying potential issues.
Note:
In this training environment, the SAP ERP server has been partitioned and SAP NetWeaver BW
has been installed on client 900. A CATT has already loaded your available capacity and
capacity requirements into InfoCube 0PP_C13. You will be using the slightly modified query
0PP_C13_0002.

1. From your user menu, launch query Capacity Load Utilization (Distributed Reqs)
Over Time to review your capacity situation for work center T-L99 in plant 1000.
Log on with user ID TSCM42-## (where ## is your group number).

TSCM42_2

Unit 5 Solution 25

Solution 25: Use BI to Perform Capacity Evaluation


.
a) On the SAP Easy Access screen, in the menu for your user ID, choose BW
ReportsCapacity Load Utilization (Distributed Reqs) Over Time.
b) In the SAP GUI Security dialog box, select the Allow this one time option from
the list. Confirm your selection.
c) Enter user name TSCM42-## and password welcome (lower case). Confirm
your entries. The top section of the query may have messages posted about
CATTs that have been run to setup the system. Ignore these messages.
d) Enter work center T-L99 and plant 1000.

The colors are controlled by exception definitions.
3. Review the exception settings setup for this query.
a) From the query, choose the Exceptions and Conditions pushbutton. A box
appears in the left-hand corner.
b) For exception Capacity Utilization, right-click it to access the context menu and
do not select anything.
Note:
Normally you can select the Display option. However, this functionality is
available through new generation tools. Planners can view the details of the
conditions or thresholds set during query development.

.
c) Exceptions are defined as follows:

70% to 85% is yellow.


86% to 99% is orange.
100% to 119% is pinkish or red.
Greater than 120% is bright red.
d) Close the exceptions when complete.
4. What purpose do exceptions serve?
By identifying the significance or size of the overload, planners can formulate
solutions. For example, they can shift production backward or forward on the time
horizon, or if required, shift the work to an alternative resource.
