Semi-finished Materials

• Finished Materials NRG-A and NRG-B
• Snack bars, which are manufactured in-house and
  sold
• Semi-finished Materials DoughNRG-A and
  Dough NRG-B
• Dough, which is mixed from raw materials and used
  to make snack bars
• Neither purchased nor sold
• Raw materials Oats, Wheat Germ, etc.
• Materials which are purchased and used to make
  the semi-finished dough

Production Master Data
Capacity planning and product costing are not
considered in this course
All four types of production master data are
required to execute production planning and
scheduling
5
Bill of Material (BOM)

• BOMs are represented as single-level
  relationships between a material and its
  components and sub-assemblies

BOM for NRG-A
BOM for Dough NRG-A
6
Bill of Material (BOM)

• BOMs are represented as single-level
  relationships between a parent material and
  its components and sub-assemblies, known as
  children.
• In SAP, the BOM is referred to by the parent
  component.
• Complicated BOMs are built up level-by-level

7
Bill of Material (BOM)

• Both the quantity and unit of measure for the
  parent component and the quantity and unit of
  measure for the child component must be entered
  when creating the BOM
• Combined with the ability to define alternate
  units of measure, this method of defining the BOM
  provides a high degree of flexibility

8
Bill of Material (BOM)

• The quantity and unit of measure for the parent
  component are entered in the header of the BOM as
  the base quantity7 cases in this example.

9
Bill of Material (BOM)

• The quantity and unit of measure for child
  components are entered in the item overview of
  the BOM500 lb. of dough in this example.

10
Bill of Material (BOM)

• In the BOM for Dough, there are a number of child
  components

Work Centers and Storage Locationsfor Fitter
Snacker

• Raw Materials are stored in storage location 100
• Semi-finished materials are produced on the
  Mixers workcenter and stored in storage location
  200
• Finished materials are produced on the Bakeline
  workcenter and stored in storage location 300

Workcenters

• Production is carried out at workcenters.
• In the SAP R/3 system, workcenters could
  represent machines or groups of machines,
  production lines, assembly lines, employees or
  groups of employees.
• Workcenters have capacities defined and assigned
  that can be used for planning to make sure the
  there is sufficient capacity available for the
  production orders that are released.

14
Routings

• Routings specify the workcenters a material must
  be routed through to be produced
• It also specifies the capacity needed to process
  a production order

Capacity Required
Workcenter Visited
15
Capacity

• Workcenters define the available capacity in the
  production facility
• Routings define the capacity required by a
  particular production order
• Capacity planning involves scheduling production
  orders so that the capacity required by
  production orders does not exceed the capacity
  available at workcenters

16
Material Assignment

• The routing also determines at which operations
  material that is needed in production can be
  issued.
• The material required is determined from the BOM.
• The routing defines when it can be used.

Material Assignment
Materials a selected in the Material Component
Overview Screen, then assigned to an operation
number in the routing. Operations are numbered
10, 20, 30, etc. by SAP to allow new operations
to be inserted in a routing without having to
renumber all operations.
