SAP AG 1999

The R/3 System contains integrated application software that is based on an open three-level
client/server architecture. It covers the entire range of business functionality a company requires. The
systems efficiency is achieved through an integration of different application components that represent
a network of business functions. This guarantees a consistent execution of all business processes in every
area of a company. All components work on the basis of real-time processing.
With its PP-PI component, SAP offers a set of functions that meet the requirements of production
planning and control in process industries.
The PP-PI component is a fully integrated production planning and control system designed for
process industries. Since it is an integral part of the R/3 production planning component PP, it is linked
to other PP subcomponents such as Sales & Operations Planning (PP-SOP), Material Requirements
Planning (PP-MRP), Capacity Requirements Planning (PP-CRP), and Shop Floor Control (PP-SFC).
In addition, PP and PP-PI are fully embedded in the logistics chain, consisting of the R/3 components
Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Production Planning (PP), and Quality
Management (QM).
Furthermore, PP-PI is linked to applications of other business areas such as the Human Resources
System (HR) and Controlling (CO).

PP-PI is designed for the batch-oriented process manufacturing company that uses integrated
planning for its production processes. Ideally, PP-PI is used in companies of the chemical and
pharmaceutical industry, the food, beverages, and tobacco industry as well as the process-oriented
electronics industry.
PP-PI meets the following typical requirements of such companies:
The production process is carried out in batches, that is, non-reproducible units that are
characterized by certain specifications. In addition, many materials entering the manufacturing
process are managed in batches with varying specifications.
During the different manufacturing steps, products, co-products, by-products, and remaining
materials are produced. If several planned materials are manufactured during one production run,
they are called co-products.
Information is exchanged between the process planning and the process control levels. Production
is carried out in automated or partially automated lines. Part of the manufacturing instructions must
therefore be displayed in natural language to be read by a process operator, whereas part of them
must be prepared for an automatic process control system.
The usage of the production lines is variable and process control is carried out using variable
parameters that differ from batch to batch.
To ensure the quality of the product, a constant coordination with quality assurance is
indispensable.

PP-PI comprises the following functional areas :


Resource management: The PI-specific master data of resources describes all means of production
and persons involved in the production process.
Master recipe management: The PI-specific master data of master recipes describes the
manufacture of one or more materials in one production run without relating to a particular order.
Master recipes are the basis for process orders.
Process planning comprises the planning of process orders. Process orders are created on the basis
of master recipes. They describe and monitor the actual production process.
Process management coordinates the transfer of data between PP-PI and the process control level.
It can be used in fully automated, partially automated, and manually operated plants.
Process data documentation and evaluation enables a detailed documentation and evaluation of
all planned and actual values of a process.
PP-PI is integrated with, for example:
R/3 Quality Management. Via a special interface, external laboratory information systems
(LIMS) can be linked to R/3 QM.
The higher-level planning components of R/3. Production requirements for PP-PI are created in R/3
Material Requirements Planning. Via a special interface, you can also transfer requirements
from an R/2 System or an external planning system to PP-PI.
The master data and functions of R/3 Materials Management (such as material, inventory
management).

SAP AG 1999

A production process is triggered by production requirements. Production requirements are created in


material requirements planning in the form of planned orders. Planned orders define the basic dates and
planned production quantities.
During process planning, planned orders are converted into process orders. The basic dates and
production quantities are copied from the planned order. The actual production dates are calculated using
the basic dates. You can also create a process order manually.
A process order provides a detailed description of the actual production of one or more materials in one
production run. It is the main control instrument in production, describing and monitoring all planned
and actual data relating to production.
A master recipe is used as the basis for a process order. It defines, for example, the planned resources
and material components.
After a process order has been released for production, the process instructions maintained in the order
are bundled into control recipes by process management. The control recipes are either transferred to a
process control system via a specific interface or are displayed online in the form of a process
instruction sheet (PI sheet) that can be read and maintained by process operators.
Process management in turn receives process messages from the process control level and transfers
them to various destinations. For instance, it is possible to record confirmations for the process order,
transfer actual values of the process to functions for process data documentation and evaluation, post
material consumptions or production yields as goods movements and transfer quality data to Quality
Management results recording.

SAP AG 1999

Master data is data in the R/3 System that remains unchanged over an extended period of time. It
contains information that is used in the same manner for similar objects.
The material is the central master record in Logistics. In general, SAP defines a material as a substance
or commodity that is bought or sold on a commercial basis, or is used, consumed or created in
production.
A batch is a subset of a material with unique specifications. The batches of one material are managed
separately in stock. With regard to the production process, a batch is a quantity of a material produced in
a given production run. This quantity, therefore, represents a non-reproducible unit with unique
specifications.
The PI-specific master data of the resource describes all means of production and persons involved in
the production process.
A production version determines which alternative BOM is used together with which master recipe.
The PI-specific master data of master recipes describes the manufacture of one or more materials in one
production run without relating to a particular order.
Material BOMs are used to represent the structure of products that a company manufactures.

SAP AG 1999

A material master record contains data of a descriptive nature (such as size, dimension, weight) and data
with a control function (such as material type).
In addition to this data, which can be maintained by the user, the material master record also contains
data that is automatically updated by the system (such as stock levels).
An alphanumeric material number identifies a material master record in the system. This material
number is unique at the client level.
Depending on its function or usage, master record data is assigned to different organizational levels
(such as plant, storage location, sales organization).
A material master record comprises different views. A view groups all data on a material created by a
particular department (such as Purchasing, MRP, Work scheduling) in the master record.
Depending on their usage and requirements, material master records are grouped into material types.

Quantity of a material produced during a given production run.
A batch represents a non-reproducible, homogeneous unit with
unique specifications.

SAP AG 1999

In a process manufacturing company, production is usually executed in batches. In addition, many


materials entering the process are managed separately in batch stocks with different specifications.
In the R/3 System, batch master records depend on the corresponding material master record. Batches
are created for a material.
In general, the data of a material master record is valid for all batches assigned to it. In contrast, a batch
master record contains data that uniquely identifies a batch and characterizes it as a non-reproducible
unit.
A batch master record is identified by an alphanumeric batch number. In accordance with the structure of
your plant or company and your operational requirements, you can choose whether you want the batch
number to be unique in combination with a material and a plant, in combination with a material number,
or at client level.

SAP AG 1999

Production versions are used both in discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing.

Production versions are used in Sales & Operations Planning (SOP), material requirements planning
(MRP), process order creation, and product costing to select the most suitable task list or recipe and the

SAP AG 1999

A master recipe defines the following data that is required for the manufacturing of materials without
relating to a particular order: processing steps, resources, material components, data for quality
inspection during production, and control information for the process control level.
Master recipes have a planning and a control view. The planning view comprises the planning of
operations, materials, resources, and inspection characteristics, realizing links to the R/3 application
components PP, MM, SD, WM, and QM. The control view contains information required for
communicating with the process control level.
The master recipe is the basis for creating process orders. A process order describes an actual production
process. It contains all the information specified during process planning, such as the production date
and quantities to be produced.
A control recipe contains all the information necessary for the execution of a process order by a certain
process control system or a line operator. Control recipes are generated from the process instructions in a
process order and sent to the corresponding destination in process control. Process instructions are
defined in the master recipe the process order is based on.
Three organizations have defined the data that must be included in the standard recipe maintenance of
the PP-PI module:
The European Batch Forum (EBF)
The Instrument Society of America (ISA; with standards S88)
NAMUR (Norms working committee for measuring and control techniques in the

Work breakdown structure BOMs (WBS BOMs) are used to enter components in the project system.

A document may consist of several different documents such as a program, drawings, manuals, and
photos. Document structures are used to represent this. They are created for a single document
information record and are maintained in the R/3 document management system.

Equipment BOMs are used in Plant Maintenance to describe the structure of a piece of equipment and
to assign spares to the piece of equipment for maintenance purposes.

Material master record


Data record containing all data required for
managing a material;
the data is arranged according to various criteria.

SAP AG 2001

Materials are created as material master records and identified using a material number.
A material master record contains data of a descriptive nature (such as size, dimension, weight) and data
with a control function (such as material type).
In addition to this data, which can be maintained by the user, the material master record also contains
data that is automatically updated by the system (such as stock levels).
An alphanumeric material number identifies a material master record in the system. This material
number is unique at the client level.
Depending on its function or usage, master record data is assigned to different organizational levels
(such as plant, storage location, sales organization).
A material master record comprises different views. A view groups all data on a material created by a
particular department (such as Purchasing, MRP, Work scheduling) in the master record.

SAP AG 1999

Each department of a company needs to maintain different information on a material. Therefore, the
material master record comprises different views.
A view groups all data on a material created by a particular department (such as Purchasing, MRP, Work
scheduling) in the master record.
In accordance with their different usages, the materials of a company are grouped together in material
types. The material type controls, for example, which views of a material master record can be accessed.
Master record data is assigned to different organizational levels of the R/3 System. When maintaining
specific views, you must therefore enter the organizational units (such as plant, storage location, and
purchasing organization) for which you want to maintain the data.
For each user, you can specify which views of the material master record may be maintained or
displayed.

Material Type

Material type
Term for the subdivision of materials into different
groups such as raw materials, semi-finished products,
finished products, configurable materials, process
materials, intra materials.
The material type controls, for instance, the material's
procurement type, screen sequence and field
selection, inventory management type, and account
determination in financial accounting.

SAP AG 1999

Within a company, different materials are used for different purposes. Material master records must
therefore meet different requirements with regard to views to be maintained and control of certain
business transactions. To achieve this, materials are assigned to different material types in the R/3
System.

Field references of several influencing factors (such as the material type or plant) determine the field
selection.
The field references define the field options (hide, show, required entry, optional entry) for the
indvidual field selection groups.
All field option entries valid for each operation are linked together per field selection group.
The link rules shown in this graphic determine the result of the field selection for a field selection

Customized Material Master
You can structure the material master according to
the requirements of your company:

You can remove screens that you do not need from the
screen sequence.

You can create your own screens by adding or


deleting screen modules.

You can influence individual fields in the screen


modules.

SAP AG 1999

Customized material master screens support sufficient data maintenance by creating entry dialogs
specific to your company's data requirements.
The material master is a set of logical screens organized in a specific sequence when more that one view
is selected. This organization of logical screens is referred to as a screen sequence.
Each logical screen consists of several programmed sets of material master fields. In the R/3 System,
these sets are referred to as screen modules or subscreens. The fields assigned to each screen module
cannot be changed in Customizing.
In Customizing for the Material Master you can:
Maintain screen sequences
Maintain logical screens
Maintain the order of logical screens in a screen sequence
Determine which screen modules are displayed on which logical screens
Assign field selection influencing factors to a screen sequence
Assign a user or group of users to a screen sequence
Enter default values for the organizational level, the industry sector, and the logical screens for a user
or a group of users

SAP AG 1999

Note:
When you create your own logical screens, it is a good idea to use the standard screen modules that
already exist.
You need your own screen modules if you require non-standard field groupings or new fields.
To create your own screen modules, copy the standard program SAPLMGD1 into your own function
group (for instructions, see IMG). Then you can create the subscreens you require in the new function
group.
Append structures are defined in the Data Dictionary so that you can integrate your own fields.
You can only integrate fields from user-specific tables and user-specific subsreen containers in the
SAPLMGMM program by using modifications.
You must use Customizing to create your own material master dialogs.

In classification, you assign objects to classes and use the characteristics of the class to describe the
objects.
You can then use the classification system to search for the objects.
You can use the settings in characteristics maintenance to specify, for example, that entries are required
or default values are used in classification.

(C) SAP AG

5.6
Classification in the R/3 System

Classification enables you to:

Describe objects using characteristics


Group similar objects in classes

You can use the find object function to determine


whether:

An object exists

Similar objects exist

No objects exist

SAP AG 1999

The classification system is a cross-application basic function.


The purpose of a classification system is to describe objects using characteristics and to group or classify
similar objects based on a criteria that is defined.
You can search for objects using the classes and the characteristics defined for the classes. In this way,
you ensure that objects that are similar or identical regarding their characteristics can be found as soon as
possible.
Any basic data elements of the R/3 System can be classified (materials, batches, recipes, operations,
resources, documents, ...)
Classes can be structured in single-level or multi-level class hierarchies.

(C) SAP AG

LO305

5.7
R/3 Classification System

Class

Object

A class is used to group


objects that have identical or
similar attributes.

An object is a classifiable unit


(such as resource, material,
batch, and so on).

Characteristic

Characteristic Value
A characteristic value is a value
assigned to a characteristic
of an object (such as 1000 l, 130
CP).

A characteristic is used to store


information on the attributes of an
object (such as volume, viscosity).

SAP AG 1999

Characteristics that are defined individually are assigned to classes.


A characteristic describes a detail of the classified object.
After assigning an object to a class, the object characteristics can be assigned values.
Objects can be assigned to several classes.

You can search for objects using the classification system.


Two steps are required to find a certain object:
Find the class in which the object is classified
Search for the object in the class
During the search, the characteristics are used as search criteria. They are assigned values, and these
values are compared with the values of the objects that are in the class.

Classes are always assigned to a class type.


A class type is a top-level unit of control for classes. The class type is used to define, for example:
Which objects can be classified in a class
Whether objects of different object types can be classified in the same class
The standard system contains settings for some object types (for example, materials, vendors,
documents, and so on) and class types so that you can begin creating a classification system for these
objects immediately. You can also include other class types in the classification system.

You use characteristics to define the properties of an object. You create characteristics centrally in
the R/3 System.
Create classes
You need classes to classify objects. These classes must first be created. Characteristics are assigned
to the classes.
Up to 999 characteristics can be assigned to a class. The system checks the characteristic values by
comparing them to the allowed value range.

The assignment of objects:


After the classes required for classification have been created, the objects of these classes can be
assigned. The objects are described using the characteristics contained in the classes. In this way,
the data required to use the classification system is available. The system can then be used to find
objects with specific properties.

Whether objects of different object types (such as materials and batches) can be classified in the
same class

There are predefined class types in the standard system such as the class type work center class, for
classifying resources, or class type batch, for classifying materials and batches.

In the R/3 System, batch master records depend on the corresponding material master records. Batches
are created for a material.
In general, the data of a material master record is valid for all batches assigned to it. In contrast, a batch
master record contains data that uniquely identifies a batch and characterizes it as a non-reproducible
unit.
If a material is to be produced in batches and is subject to inventory management, you must set the
Batch management indicator in one of the material master views of Purchasing, Work Scheduling, or
Storage.
You either create a batch master record directly during master data maintenance or the system creates it
in the background during the first goods movement.

R/3 batch management is used in all areas of logistics. A batch can be followed through the whole
logistics chain, from the entry of the raw materials to the production of the finished product, and all the
way to sales and delivery to the customer.
You can assign a batch to a material at various points in the logistics process by creating a batch master
record. For example, if the subset of a material that is subject to being handled in batches leaves a
production process with certain specifications, it is posted to stock with a batch number and can then be
clearly identified.
If you need a batch with certain specifications in the logistics process, you can find suitable batches from
the system in the stock using the batch determination function. In the production area, batch
determination is carried out in a process order to find and withdraw suitable material components for the
product to be produced.

You can select the validity of the batch in Customizing. Three batch levels are available. The default
setting in the standard system is the plant level.
You can change to a higher level at any time. However, if you want to change to a lower level, the
system only lets you change from the client level to the material level. You cannot change to the plant
level. This is due to the organization of the batch data, which must be converted each time you change
the batch level.

If the batch number was unique at the plant level up to now, and you want to change the validity so that
it is unique only at the material level, you must convert the batch numbers when you make this change.
Up to now, you could issue the same batch number for one material number in each plant. The batches
did not need to be identical, since they were completely independent of each other. In this example, we
assume that the batch specifications are completely different.
When converting existing batch data, the system checks whether identical batch numbers exist. If all
batch numbers are unique at the new level (that is, the material level), the batch number can be converted
directly. If they are not unique, the system writes a log containing all batch numbers that cannot be
converted. You have to decide which batch numbers remain valid and which have to be posted to new
batches together with their stock. If you want the system to delete batches, you must set the deletion flag
and start a batch reorganization run.
You can use the conversion tool to display the current state of conversion. The system repeats the checks
again and again to find out if the existing batch numbers are unique at the new level. Use the test mode.
If the numbers are unique, you can carry out conversion.
At the new batch level, the batch number is unique for each material and is no longer additionally
distinguished by the plant.

When defining the specifications for batch master records, the higher-level material master records are
assigned to classes belonging to class type batch. In these classes, all material and batch attributes are
stored as characteristics.
When you create a batch for a material, the batch is automatically assigned to the same class of class
type batch used to classify the material. This ensures that the same characteristics are used for the
material and the batch. In the R/3 System, this is called characteristic inheritance.
Class type batch specifies a hierarchical relationship between the object types "material" and "batch".
The batch inherits the material's characteristics. The specifications for the individual batches are stored
as characteristic values.
You can define value ranges or fixed values for a characteristic of a class. These specify a maximum
value range that applies to all objects assigned to this class, in this case materials and batches.
In the material master record, you can further restrict the values preset by the characteristics. These
restrictions are inherited by the batch of the material. You can then only assign values to the
characteristics of the batch that lie within the range specified for the material.

The classification system must be set up such that the specifications of a material and its batches can be
stored as classification data.
First, you define the properties that you want to specify the material and the batches.
These properties are stored in the classification system as characteristics.
You now create the classes that you want to use for the material and the batches. You can create a
selection of various classes for this purpose. Later, you can only assign one class to the material and the
batch. You thus do not set up multiple classification.
You have to assign class type 022 or 023, as these have been set up in the standard system
specifically for batches. The applicable class type depends on the batch level you have selected.
If you have specified plant level as the validity range of the batch in Customizing, you must select
class type 022 in the standard system. Otherwise, class type 023 is valid. The system automatically
suggests the correct class type.
In the last step, you assign the characteristics to the class. When doing so, you can restrict the value
ranges even further.

Batch-specific material units of measure are:

Proportion unit

Product unit

Proportion and product units for batch-specific


materials can be used in all processes in the logistics
chain.

SAP AG 1999

Proportion unit:
Unit of measure in which you can enter proportions of the base unit of a material. The total or physical
quantity can consist of several proportions.

Product unit
Unit of measure which describes the total quantity of a material as an alternative to the base unit of
measure.

You use batch-specific units of measure when the ratio for conversion from the unit of measure into the
base unit of measure can differ from batch to batch.

While the conversion ratio for the alternative units of measure is fixed in the base unit of measure in the
material, for the proportion unit and the product unit you define the following:
-The planned conversion ratio in the material
-The actual conversion ratio in the batch

As long as the batch is not known, the system uses the planned conversion ratio from the material when
converting to the base quantity. As soon as the batch is known, the system uses the actual conversion
ratio from the batch.

The specification contains the description of the batch. It may also contain measured values and quality
characteristics, plus details concerning the usability of the batch and whether it is locked. Important date
specifications may also be included, such as the expiration date, the last goods receipt date, and so on.
The active ingredient proportion is one of the criteria that should be used to differentiate between
batches of the same material. For this reason it is integrated into the batch specification.
Likewise, the conversion factor between alternative units of measure and base units of measure in a
batch forms a characteristic, which can be valuated differently from batch to batch.

The active ingredient potency of a batch is stored in the batch's specification along with the batchspecific ratio between the alternative unit of measure and the base unit of measure.
Batch Management uses those features found in the classification system. The characteristic values in
the batch classification form the specification.
To use batch-specific units of measure, you must have Batch Management set up, the class system must
be in use, and the material concerned must be able to be handled in batches.

If active ingredients are not suitable for storage on their own, they are stored together with carrier
materials. A combination of a carrier material and an active ingredient is called a physical quantity or a
weighed quantity. The terms mixed quantity and telquel quantity are also common.
The situation is similar if materials contain impurities of varying degrees.
The amount of active ingredient in a material is its active ingredient quantity.
The potency (of active ingredient) varies within a material to a certain degree.

SAP AG 2001

The base unit of measure is the leading unit of measure for a material containing active ingredients. You
post the materials in this unit. If an entry is made in proportion units, the system converts this to base
units of measure before posting.
The proportion unit is based on the active ingredient. If a material contains more than one active
ingredient, separate proportion units must be defined for each active ingredient so that they can be
clearly distinguished.
You store a ratio to convert quantities between the proportion unit and the base unit of measure. This
constitutes a separate unit of measurement.
In this example, the active ingredient "fruit" is measured in liters. LIL was defined as the proportion unit
for the purpose of measuring an active ingredient.
The liters of fruit are based on one liter of the physical quantity.
The ratio is recorded in the unit of measurement LIL.

The potency of the active ingredient in a material forms part of its specification.
If the potency is not constant, the different specified material inventories should be managed separately.
This is carried out by the Batch Management component of the R/3 System. Each batch bears its own
characteristic values.
Batch specifications are stored in the classification system as characteristics. The ratio between the
active ingredient and the base quantity is linked to a characteristic, and potency of active ingredient is
stored as its characteristic value. In this way, the ratio becomes the characteristic unit of measurement.
The active ingredient characteristic contains the information about the active ingredient concerned and
the ratio of the proportion of physical quantity to the base unit of measure.
The ratio between the potency of active ingredient and the physical quantity is stored in one batch
characteristic and thus becomes part of the specification.
The material transfers the information to its batches.

You must complete the information in the Proportion/Product Unit view. The system requires a planned
value for the active ingredient proportion.
The planned value specifies the expected mixing ratio between active ingredient and physical quantity in
the characteristic unit of measurement.
If the actual proportion of active ingredient in a batch is not known for a particular business
transaction, the system uses the planned value from the material master.
The planned value for the conversion between active ingredient and physical quantity is transferred

Batches : Unit Summary

A batch is a subset of a material with unique

specifications.
The level of the uniqueness of a batch can be

changed.
A batch that has been created for a material

automatically belongs to the same class or has the


same characteristics (characteristic inheritance).
A batch-specific material unit of measure is

required for active ingredient management.

At the conclusion of these exercises, you will be able to:


Classify batches
Describe characteristic inheritance
Make settings for active ingredient management
Since the production is to take place in batches, define the finished
product as a material to be handled in batches.
A raw material is also to be handled in batches. A batch master record is
to be defined for this raw material.
Quantities are to be posted stock.
To be able to carry out active ingredient management at a later time,

Resources are the main planning instruments of production planning and control. The data you maintain
for a resource is, for example, used for:
Scheduling process orders
Capacity requirements planning
Product and order costing
Resources are grouped in resource categories on the basis of their usage and function. You can define

Control of field and screen selection

SAP AG 1999

Resources are grouped in resource categories on the basis of their usage and function.
You can define your own resource categories in Customizing.
Resource categories have the following functions:
Each resource category is assigned one or more task list types in Customizing. A task list
application groups one or more task list types. This assignment specifies the task list types for
which a resource of a certain category can be used. Task list types are, for instance, master recipes,
maintenance task lists, inspection plans. In PP-PI, the task list type "master recipes" is used.
In Customizing, you can maintain a default resource for each resource category and plant. When
you create a resource, the data maintained for the default resource is transferred to this resource as
default values.
In Customizing, you can define the screen sequence and field selection for resource maintenance
for each resource category.

A capacity refers to the ability to perform a specific task.

SAP AG 1999

A capacity refers to the ability to perform a specific task. Together with the available capacity and
capacity loads collected for them, capacities are the central planning unit for capacity requirements
planning.
You can assign any number of capacities of different capacity categories to one resource. You can
maintain variable availability in time for each capacity. The available capacity is the ability of a capacity
to perform a specific task in a certain period of time.
The available capacity is determined using work start and finish times, break times, rate of capacity
utilization, and the number of individual capacities.

Available capacity

SAP AG 1999

The ability of a resource to perform a specific task is limited in time. In the R/3 System, this limited
availability is expressed by capacities.
Available capacities form the basis of scheduling for process orders and are required for capacity
planning and shop floor control. Formulas are assigned to resources in order to calculate execution times
and capacity requirements of operations.
You can assign any number of capacities of different capacity categories to one resource. However, per
capacity category, you can only assign exactly one capacity.
A capacity category is a description that classifies capacities and can be defined by the user in
Customizing. Capacity categories are, for example, machine capacities, labor capacities, and energy.
You create the available capacity that is to apply to only one specific resource as a resource capacity in
the resource itself. Capacities that are used by several capacities, such as a common steam reservoir or
the clean-out team, are created as pooled capacities and assigned to the resources.

You can find resource-related data on several screens. This graphic shows some of the most important
resource data.
On the Basic Data screen, you define a person or group of persons responsible for the maintenance of
the master data of this resource. By defining the task list usage, you also specify the task list types (such
as master recipe, equipment task list, or inspection plans) in which the resource can be used and whether
the resource can be used in orders.
By entering a standard value key, a resource is assigned standard values for operations in master
recipes or process orders to be executed at this resource. A standard value is a planned value used to
carry out an operation, such as the execution time. Standard values are used in costing, scheduling, and
capacity requirements planning to calculate costs, execution times, and capacity requirements.
You can enter default values for the operation to be executed at a resource. When you maintain the
operations in the master recipe or process order, the system copies or references this information. You
can, for instance, propose a control key. A control key specifies how an operation is to be processed
from a business point of view.
By assigning a cost center to a resource, you link the resource to cost accounting and can now carry out
product and order costing. You can define the specific output of a resource by assigning activity types
which are defined for the cost center.

Available capacities of resources are the basis for scheduling process orders. They are also required for
capacity requirements planning and shop floor control.
In order to calculate the execution time of an operation during process order scheduling, the available
capacity of exactly one of several possible resource capacities is defined as the basis for scheduling.
To calculate costs, execution times, and capacity requirements of phases carried out at a resource, enter a
formula key that refers to a suitable formula in the corresponding screens.

SAP AG 1999

Resources are used in the operations of the recipes and the process orders.
With the resource, you can
Determine which processing units, persons, or other resources are to be used in the operations and
phases of the recipe.
Specify costs, capacity requirements, and dates for the operations and phases.
Persons are assigned to the resource to determine which employees are to work at this resource.
Costs, execution times, and the capacity requirements of the resource can be calculated from standard
values using formulas.
Activity types that are linked to a cost center are assigned to a resource via the cost center. You can
calculate in-house costs of an operation by assigning the resource to a cost center.

SAP AG 2001

The costs incurred due to the use of a resource in a phase must be calculated in production and order
costing. For this, you must maintain costing data in the resource.
The link to cost accounting is created by assigning a cost center to a resource.
For a specified validity period, you can assign a resource to one cost center only.
The specific output of a resource is defined by assigning activity types specified in the cost centers to
the resource. Each activity type is valued with specific charge rates.
The output (= total time) of a resource is calculated with the help of formulas. A formula is assigned to
each activity type.
Finally, the costs are calculated using the output (= total time) of a resource and the corresponding
charge rates.

SAP AG 1999

You can often use processing units in a specified sequence only. To represent this sequence in the
system, you can create predecessor/successor relationships between resources in the form of resource
networks.
During process planning, these networks are used to determine possible sequences in which a resource
can be used to manufacture a batch.
If several similar resources are available in a network, it makes sense to decide on the resource to be
used at the time of production and not before. To do this, you can define a resource that is to be used for
planning purposes only. This resource represents several equivalent resources.
You can restrict the usage of resources defined for planning reasons only with the task list usage of
the resource. In Customizing, you can set the Until release indicator for a task list usage. If a resource
has been assigned to a process order whose usage is restricted in this way, the order cannot be released.
Before releasing the order, you must replace the planning resource with a suitable individual resource.
You can use the function of resource selection to do so.

You can add specific resource attributes to the resource data by classifying the resource with classes of
class type 019 work center class. The resource attributes are stored as characteristics of a class and are
assigned specific values in the resources.
Apart from resources, you can also classify operations of master recipes in classes of class type 019.
This allows you to store specifications for a resource in an operation.
The characteristic values of classified operations represent the selection criteria for system-aided
resource selection in the process order. This allows you to select a suitable resource just before
production begins. The resource network must be taken into account for resource selection.

You can maintain and assign the capacity of a resource while processing the resource, provided the
capacity data can be maintained for the resource category.
The capacity overview is the starting point for capacity maintenance from the resource.
Different available capacities of a capacity category are identified using the version number. The version
of the available capacity that appears in the screen header as the active version is used during capacity
requirements planning and scheduling.
When creating an available capacity, you can copy or reference capacities of different origins.

9.5
Production Version: Definition

Production version
A production version determines which alternative BOM
is used together with which master recipe to produce a
material or create a master plan for a material.
More than one production version for different validity
period and lot-size ranges can be assigned to a
material.

SAP AG 1999

Production versions are used in discrete manufacturing, repetitive manufacturing, and process
manufacturing.

Production versions are used in sales & operations planning (SOP), material requirements planning
(MRP), process order creation, and product costing to select the most suitable task list or recipe and the
corresponding material list.

A production version comprises the following data: Material number, version ID, lot-size range, and
validity period of the production version, details about whether the production version is locked, the
date of the last consistency check, the assignment of master recipes to the production version, the
assignment of the alternative BOM to the production version, a check status that displays the result of
the last consistency check, the production line if the product is manufactured in discrete manufacturing,
the change number that was used when the production version was last changed, as well as further
administrative data.

When you create process orders that require approval, the system uses the change number to check
whether the production version has been approved.

You can also select a production version without a recipe or BOM. Note, however, that if you do so,

From mass processing of production versions, you can navigate to the corresponding master recipe and
create, edit, or display the recipe or alternative BOM there. From the production version, you can thus
access all production related master data.

If you have assigned a change number to a production version, this number is also valid for recipe and
BOM editing from the production version. This enables you to use an approval procedure in the same
way for all related objects.

You can check whether the data of a production version is consistent with the data of the master recipe
and the data of the alternative BOM assigned to it. You can then be sure that a valid recipe or valid BOM
actually exists within the whole validity period of the production version.
In order for a production version to be consistent, it must fulfill the following requirements:
The lot-size range of the production version must be in the lot-size range of the assigned recipe as
well as of the assigned alternative BOM. This applies to all change statuses of the recipe and
alternative BOM that are in the validity period of the production version.
The assigned recipe and alternative BOM must exist during the whole validity period of the
production version. The deletion flag must not be set for them.
If one of these requirements is not met, an error or warning message is given in the inspection result.

After the check, you can update the date of the last check and check status of the production version. The
recipe, task list, or BOM are then assigned one of the following statuses in the production version:
Last check ok
Last check with warning
Last check with error

Unlike recipe editing with a change master record or engineering change order, you do not create a new
change status for the production version. You only assign the change number to it in the worklist for
production version processing by carrying out the corresponding function. The change number is used to
document or approve changes. If required, you must adjust the validity period of the production version
manually.

You cannot use a change number when you edit production versions in the material master record. In the
standard system therefore you cannot edit production versions whose change rule requires an
engineering change order in the material master record.

A production version is considered approved when the following requirements are met:

The master recipe assigned to the production version has a change rule that requires an
engineering change order with or without a change type.

The production version has been assigned a change number that complies with this change

Master recipe
A recipe that describes the production of one or several materials in a production
process.

SAP AG 1999

A master recipe defines the following data required for the manufacturing of materials without relating
to a particular order
Resources
Material components
Data for in-process quality inspection
Control information for the process control level
Master recipes have a planning and a control view. The planning view comprises the planning of
operations, materials, resources, and inspection characteristics. Therefore, links to the R/3 application
components PP, MM, SD, WM, and QM have been realized. The control view contains information
required for communicating with the process control level.
The master recipe is the basis for the creation of process orders. A process order describes an actual
production process. It contains all information specified during process planning, such as production
date and quantities to be produced.
A control recipe contains all the information necessary for the execution of a process order by a certain
process control system or a process operator. Control recipes are generated from the process instructions
in a process order and transferred to the corresponding destination in process control. Process
instructions are defined in the master recipe on which the process order is based.
Three organizations have defined the data that must be included in the standard recipe maintenance of
the PP-PI application component:

The recipe header contains data that is valid for the whole recipe. At the header level, a resource
network and the material to be produced is assigned to the recipe.
Operations describe the different steps required during the production process. For a more detailed
description of these steps, operations are subdivided into phases.
Exactly one primary resource at which an operation is to be carried out is assigned to the operation.
This assignment of the primary resource is also valid for all phases that belong to the operation.
Process instructions are structures with which data is transferred from R/3 process planning to process
control. Process instructions are assigned to the phases of a master recipe.

Process instruction characteristics are assigned to process instructions and define the content of the
process instructions together with the corresponding characteristic values..

If materials are added, temporarily created, or withdrawn at certain places in the production process, you
assign them to the corresponding operations and phases as components of a material list.
Inspection characteristics specify which in-process quality inspections are to be carried out. They can
be assigned to operations and phases.
Relationships define the sequence of phases as well as link the start and finish points of phases.

Master recipes can also be created for purposes other than the manufacture of materials. Nonmanufacturing master recipes are, for example:
Equipment-testing recipes
Clean-out recipes
Setup or changeover recipes
Equipment-testing recipes contain process instructions that are used to carry out and document periodic
functional testing of a plant line.
Clean-out recipes describe the activities as well as the time, resource, and material requirements that are
necessary to clean out a vessel after a production run.
Changeover recipes describes the activities necessary to transfer a processing unit from an initial state to
a subsequent state.

the default values set in this profile, choose Extras in the master recipe menu.
You can change the values in the profile dialog box. However, these changes are only valid until you exit
the recipe.
In the profile, you can enter default values for the operation, the relationship, the increment of process
instructions and process instruction characteristics as well as for the relationship graphic and how it is
displayed.
Moreover, you can branch to a dialog box displaying QM data and enter default values for quality

You can create a master recipe by copying another master recipe, even if they are from different plants.
The material in the recipe header of the recipe being copied as well as the factory calendar are copied to
the new recipe.
The other recipe objects, such as primary resources, control recipe destinations, process instructions, etc.
are copied to the new recipe if they already exist in the target plant (otherwise error messages appear).
The data on the recipe detail screen of the new recipe is checked. The data must be changed if the entry
does not exist in the target plant or is not the same as the resource data in the target plant.
Caution! The master inspection characteristics are not checked in the target plant. The system also does
not check whether the process instruction characteristics that were copied have been released in the
target plant.
To use the material assignments that have been copied to the new recipe, you must first create a
production version to use the alternative bills of material in the new recipe.

SAP AG 1999

Data that is valid for the whole recipe is maintained on the recipe header level.
A recipe is identified by the recipe group and the recipe counter. Recipes are defined on the plant
level. They can be grouped into recipe groups based on criteria defined by the user.
By assigning a resource network, the physical network of the resources is described for the line at
which the process is to take place.
The usage describes the purpose for which the recipe can be used (for example, production,
construction, plant maintenance). The planner group specifies a group of people who are responsible
for the maintenance of the recipe. The status gives information about the processing status of a recipe
(for example, creation phase, released for order, released for costing) and controls which business
operations are allowed or not allowed.
With the charge quantity range, you specify a value range that is allowed for the production quantity
and for which the master recipe may be used as the reference for a process order in production.
The material to be produced using the recipe is assigned to the recipe at the header level.
To give more information, you can create a long text for the recipe header.
On the recipe header detail screen for QM data, you determine whether an in-process inspection is to
take place with or without inspection points.
Administrative data gives information about the validity dates of the recipe, who has created or
changed the recipe, and whether a change was made using a change number.

Operations describe the different steps required during the production process. For a more detailed
description of these steps, operations are subdivided into phases.
You must enter a control key for each operation and phase. The control key determines how an
operation or phase is to be processed in functions such as process orders, costing, and capacity
requirements planning.
Control keys are defined in Customizing. You can set a number of indicators specifying, for instance:
Whether scheduling is to be carried out for the phase
Whether capacity load records are to be written for the phase
Whether the phase is costed
Whether a goods receipt is to be posted automatically for the process order when a confirmation is
received
Whether time tickets are to be printed for the operation or phase
Whether inspection characteristics have to be maintained for the operation or phase
Note:
Scheduling, determination of capacity requirements, and costing take place at phase level.
The dates and capacity requirements for operations are derived from the
corresponding phases.

Exactly one primary resource is assigned to an operation. The primary resource is that part of a line or
processing unit at which the operation is carried out. It is committed for the entire duration of the
operation.
The primary resource is also assigned to all phases subordinate to the operation in the hierarchy.
If required, you can assign additional secondary resources to operations and phases. This assignment
can be carried out with a flexible start and finish time, relative to the start or finish of the operation or
phase.
You must assign a control key to each secondary resource. The same business transactions can be
carried out for secondary resources as for operations and phases. Secondary resources can, for example,
be included in scheduling, capacity requirements planning, and costing.

SAP AG 1999

When you assign a resource to an operation or phase, you also assign the standard and default values
maintained in the resource.
A standard value is a planned value for the execution of an operation or phase such as the execution
time or operation quantity. Standard values are used in costing, scheduling, and capacity requirements
planning to calculate costs, execution times, and capacity requirements.
Possible standard values for an operation or phase are defined in the corresponding resource. You can
use a rule for maintenance to specify whether a standard value for an operation or phase may be, should
be, or has to be entered. In the resource, you can also maintain default values for the units of measure of
the standard values.
In the resource, you can maintain default values for the operation or phase data "control key" and
"standard text key", for wage data as well as for the activity types to be assigned. These default values
are then either copied into the operation or phase, giving you the possibility to later change them, or they
are referenced into the operation or phase, thus making further changes impossible. In the latter case, a
reference indicator is set for the relevant default value in the resource.
The control key specifies how an operation or phase is processed from a business point of view.
Using the standard text key, you can choose a standard text created previously for the description of an
operation or phase.
The specific output of a resource is defined by assigning activity types to the resource. Each activity
type is valued with a specific charge rate (for example, USD 100/h). This forms the basis for calculating
the costs resulting from activities performed.

SAP AG 1999

Scheduling a master recipe enables a time-based simulation of the manufacturing process in the planning
phase. During scheduling, the start and finish times of phases are determined. Scheduling takes place at
phase level only. The operation dates are derived from the phase dates.
Starting from the basic start or basic finish dates, scheduling is done either as forward or backward
scheduling. You can enter a planned lot size if the phase duration depends on the quantity to be
processed.
To be able to schedule, you must maintain default values for phases as well as relationships between
phases.
Depending on the scheduling type, the float before production is either added to the basic start date, or
the float after production is subtracted from the basic finish date. In this way you can determine the start
and finish dates of production (scheduled start date, scheduled finish date).
The float before production and float after production are time buffers enabling you to react to
disturbances in the manufacturing process. You can assign them to the material in the MRP view of the
material master record using the scheduling margin key.

To calculate the phase duration, you must specify a capacity category as a basis for scheduling and
define a formula in the resource.
The phase duration is determined on the basis of the standard values and additional formula parameters.
When calculating the phase dates, the available capacity is taken into account as the basis for scheduling.
Scheduling takes place via the phases. The operation duration is derived from the phase dates.
The scheduling result can either be displayed in a table or graphically in a Gantt chart.
Due to the relationships, phase dates can have a certain time buffer. Therefore, the earliest and latest start
and finish dates are determined in scheduling.

Using classes of class type 019 work center type, you can classify resources as well as operations
contained in master recipes.
You can thus use the characteristics of a class of class type 019 in two ways: first, you can store specific
resource attributes and second, you can define requirements a resource must meet if it is to be used in an
operation of a master recipe.
The characteristic values of classified operations represent the selection criteria for system-aided
resource selection in the process order.

The material to be produced is assigned to the master recipe at header level.


The structure of the product, which is the material to be produced along with the corresponding material
components without operation and phase assignments, is defined in PP BOM Management as the bill of
material (BOM). A fixed and unique link between the master recipe and BOM is defined in a production
version. The production version is an attribute of the material to be produced.

The BOM data is used, for example, in material requirements planning and product costing.

The material list contains all materials that enter, are temporarily created, and leave the process along
with their planned quantities as components. It also defines the assignment of these material components
to operations or phases of the recipe according to where they appear in the process.
A specific material list component is assigned to exactly one operation or phase. You can assign several
different material components to an operation or phase.
In material quantity calculation, you define formulas to calculate the material quantities to be used or
obtained in a production process, taking into account the mixing ratios of the ingredients, yield ratios of
the products and remaining materials as well as specific material attributes (for example, concentration).

The product is assigned to the BOM header. A base quantity is defined in the BOM header and the
quantities of the material components entered in the BOM items refer to this base quantity.
BOM items are, for example:
Ingredients, intra materials, catalyts, co-products, waste
Quantities of materials entering the production process are maintained with a positive number, quantities
of materials leaving the process with a number followed by a negative sign. Materials that both enter and
leave the process are assigned two different BOM items with the corresponding signs.
If a BOM item is a co-product, the corresponding indicator must be set for this item. In addition to this,
the co-product assigned to the BOM header as well as the co-products listed as BOM items must be
marked as co-products in their material master records.

BOM Item Categories

Item Categories:

When creating a new BOM item, you must assign each component to
an item category.

The item category controls how the individual BOM items are
processed.

Stock item
NonNon-stock item
VariableVariable-size item
Text item
Document item
Intra material

SAP AG 1999

When creating a new BOM item, you must assign each item to an item category. The item category
defines the attributes and functions of an item and controls how the individual BOM items are processed.
A BOM item category specifically designed for the process industry is category M for intra materials.
The item category determines, for example:
Whether you must enter a material number
Whether quantity-based inventory management is to be carried out for this item
Which sign is to be entered for the item quantity
Whether sub-items can be used
What the screen selection and the screen layout of the item detail screens look like
Note that you cannot change the item category once you have created an item. You can only correct a
wrong item category assignment by deleting the item and creating it again.

The material list is made up of components representing the materials entering and leaving the
production process, as well as temporarily existing materials and their planned quantities. It also defines
the assignment of these material components to operations or phases of the recipe according to their
appearance in the process.
A specific material list component is assigned to exactly one operation or phase. You can assign several

C1 = A1 * A3 - ((B1n / B2n) * B3n )

You want to use a fruit premix with varying fruit and acid content to produce a fruit juice whose fruit
content is always 35 % and whose acid content is always 2%. The fruit quantity in the fruit premix is
thus calculated as follows:
Fruit quantity of fruit premix = Quantity of fruit juice * 35 %

The fruit premix has limited shelf life, therefore you want to use complete batches, i.e. no batch splits.
The actual fruit quantity in the fruit premix may not equal the planned fruit content, so the product
quantity and all component quantities must be adjusted. You adjust the fruit content of the fruit juice by
mixing water with it. The acid content, on the other hand, is adjusted by adding lemon juice. Different
lemon juice batches also have different acid contents.

The product quantity in the order is determined by the available fruit quantity in the fruit premix. The
system must calculate the fruit juice quantity as follows:
Fruit juice quantity = Fruit quantity of fruit premix / Fruit content of fruit juice

To obtain the intended acid content of the fruit juice, you must balance variations in the percent of acid
content of the fruit premix by adjusting the lemon juice quantity. This adjustment is not in proportion to
the product quantity:
Acid quantity of lemon juice = Acid quantity of fruit juice - Acid quantity of fruit premix

SAP AG 1999

After batch determination has been carried out for the lemon juice, the actual acid quantity in the lemon
juice and the actual fruit quantity in the fruit premix are known. The batch-specific quantity proportions
of fruit and acid can be used to calculate the physical quantities of the fruit premix and lemon juice.
Treated water is added to obtain the product quantity. The amount of water required depends on the
product quantity and the physical quantities of the fruit premix and lemon juice:
Quantity of water = Quantity of fruit juice - Quantity of fruit premix - Quantity of lemon juice.
When adding water, the quantity added is always rounded up to full liters.
Sugar is added to improve the taste of the fruit juice. The sugar dissolves completely. The amount of
sugar added is to be approximately 1% of the product quantity. It is to be added in 100 gram portions.

Material characteristics can also be entered in the formulas.
The formulas are used to calculate the relevant quantities when creating a process order.
If a material or characteristic quantity is changed, dependent quantities can be recalculated.
The product quantity in the order is determined by the available fruit quantity in the fruit premix. The
system calculates the fruit juice quantity as follows:
Quantity of fruit juice = Quantity of fruit premix / Fruit proportion of fruit juice.
To calculate the actual fruit quantity of the fruit premix, the system must add the fruit quantities of the
batches selected in the order.

This function adds the batch quantities or the values in the characteristic column you specified for all
batches of a material item. As long as no batches have been assigned to the material item, the function

To obtain the intended acid content of the fruit juice, you must balance variations in the percent of acid
content of the fruit premix by adjusting the lemon juice quantity. This adjustment is not in proportion to
the product quantity:
Acid quantity of lemon juice = Acid quantity of fruit juice - Acid quantity of fruit premix
The acid quantity of the fruit juice is calculated by multiplying the product quantity with the acid content
of the fruit juice.
The acid quantity in the fruit premix is calculated by multiplying its physical quantity with its acid
content. The physical quantity is calculated by dividing the fruit quantity by the fruit content. The
following calculation must therefore be carried out for each batch of the fruit premix:
Fruit quantity of fruit premix / Fruit content of fruit premix * Acid content of fruit premix. Afterwards,
the results for the acid quantities of the fruit premix are added.
A user exit is required for this complex calculation.
An SAP enhancement (user exit) for material quantity calculation can be used to enhance standard
functionality. The following are just some of the features offered by this SAP enhancement:
Enhancement of input data through the inclusion of additional fields and columns

Treated water is added to obtain the product quantity. The amount of water required depends on the
product quantity and the physical quantities of the fruit premix and lemon juice:
Quantity of water = Quantity of fruit juice - Quantity of fruit premix - Quantity of lemon juice.
The quantity of water added is always rounded up to full liters:
Adding weighted batch quantities of characteristic values: Quotient sum - CQSM. For each batch
of a material item, this function divides the batch quantities by the value in the characteristic column you
specified or the value of the first characteristic column by that of the second column. It then adds the
results. The system interprets the characteristic value as a percentage if its unit of measure contains a
percent sign (%).

As long as no batches have been assigned to the material item, the function divides the quantity of the
material item by the corresponding characteristic value or the first characteristic value of the material
item by that of the second value.

You may need this function, for example, to calculate the total of the physical batch quantities from the
active ingredient quantities of batches based on the active ingredient concentration.

To produce fruit juice, we will begin with a fruit premix which has varying fruit
and acid content. The fruit premix has a limited shelf life so complete batches
must be used. Since the fruit content of the final product must be 35%, the
quantity of fruit juice produced may have to be adjusted. Lemon juice is used
to balance the variations of acid content in the fruit premix and to maintain a
2% acid content in the final product. Treated water is added (rounded up to full
liters) to obtain the quantity of fruit juice . Finally, sugar is added (in 100 gram
portions) to improve the taste. The sugar content is approximately 1% of the
total product quantity.
The components fruit premix B and lemon juice C both consist of their active
ingredients fruit and acid, as well as their carrier material water. The physical
quantity will refer to the sum of the active ingredient quantity and the carrier
material quantity.

SAP AG 1999

Process management is the interface between PP-PI and the systems involved in process control. Due to
its flexible structure, it can be linked to fully automated, partially automated, and manually operated
lines. Process management comprises the following functions:
Receiving control recipes with process instructions from released process orders
Transferring control recipes to the corresponding process operators or process control systems
Translating process instructions into natural language so that they can be displayed and maintained
on the screen by the process operator
Receiving, checking, and transferring process messages with actual process data
Manual entry of process messages

Phase 23

SAP AG 1999

Using control recipe destinations, you specify the process operators or process control systems that are
to carry out the process instructions of an order in the process order.
You assign control recipe destinations to the phases of the process order. This assignment is independent
of the subdivision of operations into phases. This means that you can assign different destinations to
phases of the same operation if this makes sense from the point of view of process control.
Process management creates one control recipe for each control recipe destination of a process order. A
control recipe can only be created if all the phases involved are released. Once a control recipe has been
created, you can no longer change the process instructions of the corresponding phases in the order.

Process instructions are structures with which data or requests from R/3 process planning are copied to
process control. Process instructions are assigned to the phases of a master recipe or process order.
Each phase must have a control recipe destination assigned to it. A control recipe destination indicates a
process control system, a process operator, or a group of process operators to which the process
instructions that have been created for the phase are to be transferred.
To execute an actual production process, a process order is created on the basis of a master recipe.
Together with the control recipe destinations and process instructions, the operation and phase structure
is copied from the master recipe.
Once a process order has been released for production, the process instructions to be sent to the same
control recipe destination are grouped in a control recipe and transferred to process control. Exactly one
control recipe is created for each control recipe destination.

Planning view

Control view

SAP AG 1999

Master recipes have a planning and a control view. The planning view comprises the planning of
operations, materials, resources, and inspection characteristics.
In the planning view, phases are combined into operations. Phases are hierarchically subordinate to
operations.
The control view contains information in the form of process instructions. This is required for
communication with the process control level.
In the control view, phases are combined for a control recipe destination. Phases of a recipe that are
combined for a control recipe destination do not need to belong to the same operation.
The graphic shows an example of an operation/phase structure, with two phases of different operations
being processed in parallel. The parallel filling and emptying phases are monitored by the same process
control system or process operator.

The Co-product indicator must be set in the material master of a material that is to be manufactured as a
co-product.
When manufacturing co-products, the entire costs incurred for the process order are collected at order
header level and distributed to the individual co-products using equivalence numbers.
In the material master record, you define one or more apportionment structures. An apportionment
structure specifies how the order costs are to be distributed to the co-products manufactured in a specific
production process. You can maintain equivalence numbers for each apportionment structure and assign
the apportionment structure to a production version.
When you create a process order, the system uses this data to automatically generate a settlement rule.
This settlement rule is then used to distribute the total costs incurred to the co-products.
A source structure is used to distribute the equivalences in the apportionment structure according to
cost element groups. How the costs are apportioned to the individual co-products can then differ
according to the various cost element groups involved. You define source structures in Customizing.

In PP-PI, the manufacture of co-products can be represented by assigning a co-product as a leading


product to the BOM header. All other co-products appear as BOM items.
The following prerequisites must be met for the manufacture of co-products:
The Co-product indicator must be set in the material master of the co-products.
The Co-product indicator must also be set for BOM items that have co-products assigned to them.
The manufacture of co-products can also be represented using the material type PROC Process
material. A process material is specifically used to represent the manufacture of co-products. A process
material is not a physically existing material but rather it represents a manufacturing process. As a BOM
header for a process material, all co-products of the manufacturing process are listed as BOM items with
manufacture of co-product indicators.
There is no quantity or value update for a process material. This transaction takes place at co-product
level.
A process order can either be created for a co-product or for a process material.

Material costing uses data from Logistics, such as the material BOM and the master recipe, as the
quantity structure to calculate costs for material consumption and the activities.

Material costing valuates this quantity structure with:

Prices for materials in the material master

Prices for activities in Cost Center Accounting

Prices for processes in Activity-Based Costing

Overhead on the direct costs for these materials and activities

Overhead for sales and administration costs

You can analyze the results in different ways

The analysis is used, for example, to estimate costs or for reporting

SAP AG 1999

Between the production plant and the laboratory or the quality assurance system, information on product
quality and analysis values can be exchanged. This happens when the R/3 Quality Management
System is used, with or without linking to external LIMS (laboratory information systems).
You define the specifications of a quality inspection in the inspection characteristics of an inspection
lot in R/3 QM. During inspection results recording, the results of the quality inspection are assigned to
the inspection characteristics of the inspection lot.
There is a direct link between PP-PI and R/3 Quality Management. The quality of materials produced
can be checked in an in-process inspection taking place in parallel to the production process. In this
case, the inspection lot is created for the corresponding process order. The inspection characteristics are
created in the operations and phases of the master recipe the process order is based on and are then
transferred to the inspection lot. Inspection results recording takes place when the process order is
carried out. If the product is to be handled in batches, inspection results can be used for batch
specification by automatically copying them to the class characteristics of the batch produced.
You can also check the product quality before a goods receipt after production. In this case, an inspection
lot is created from an inspection plan maintained in R/3 QM.
R/3 QM can be linked to a LIMS using the QM-IDI interface. In this case, inspection specifications are
transferred from R/3 QM to the LIMS, which in turn sends the inspection results back to R/3 QM.

SAP AG 1999

The functions of quality inspection of the R/3 System are fully integrated into the entire logistics
process. They affect all business activities (such as product planning, production, procurement, and
sales).
A quality inspection can only be carried out if an inspection lot is created. Inspection lots are fully
integrated in the logistics chain, such as the neighboring R/3 tasks of goods receipt, goods issue, and
process order. They document the entire inspection process, from inspection specifications to inspection
results recording, and to the usage decision. They can be created automatically or manually from
different sources of the corresponding application.
In-process inspection takes place parallel to the production process. The inspection lot is either created
manually or automatically from within the process order when the order is released. The inspection
characteristics are maintained for the operations or phases of the master recipe the process order is based
on. They are then transferred to the inspection lot. The inspection results are recorded for the inspection
characteristics of the inspection lot while the process order is carried out.
In other tasks, such as a goods receipt, the inspection lot is created on the basis of an inspection plan
maintained in R/3 QM. Inspection plans are master data of R/3 QM.

In an in-process quality inspection, the inspection lot is created on the basis of the underlying master
recipe. In the master recipe, you maintain inspection specifications in the form of inspection
characteristics for the corresponding operations or phases.
You can either create the inspection lot manually or the system creates it automatically when you
release the process order. For the system to be able to do so, you must activate the inspection type
Inspection during production in the material master of the material to be produced. The inspection
characteristics for the operations or phases of the master recipe are then transferred to the corresponding
inspection operations of the inspection lot.
Later, you can also add unplanned inspection characteristics from within the process order.

This graphic shows the general relationship between inspection points, partial lots, and batches.
If you set the Inspection points indicator on the QM Data header detail screen of the master recipe, all
in-process inspection results recordings are carried out with relation to inspection points. Unlike
inspection without inspection points, you can record inspection results for the inspection characteristics
of the same inspection operation several times. The intervals between the inspection points can be timerelated (that is, at certain points in time), quantity-related (that is, after a certain quantity has been
produced), or freely defined.
Inspection results recording is performed for the inspection characteristics of the inspection lot with
exactly one inspection lot being created for each process order. If partial quantities with different
specifications are produced in a process order, you can assign inspection points to a corresponding
partial lot to record inspection results. You can create several partial lots.
Partial lots describe a certain production quantity during production. This quantity is processed in
several operations or phases. For each operation or phase, you can perform an inspection with inspection
points for different inspection characteristics and assign the results to the partial lot. A new partial lot is
created when the first inspection point of this partial lot is processed.
An example where partial lots are used is the manufacture of co-products, that is, the production of
several materials in one process order. Each co-product can be represented by a partial lot.
If the finished product is managed in batches, you can assign partial lots to individual batches.
Selected inspection results can automatically be copied to the class characteristics of the batch for batch
specification.

SAP AG 1999

In an in-process inspection, inspection characteristics for the operations and phases of the master recipe,
which the process order or inspection lot are based on, contain inspection specifications. You can either
create inspection characteristics in the master recipe or refer to already existing master inspection
characteristics.
Master inspection characteristics are master data maintained in R/3 QM. They facilitate the maintenance
of routine inspections and enable a linking to the class characteristics of batches. Due to this link,
quality inspection results can automatically be copied from the inspection characteristics to the
corresponding class characteristics of the batch produced.
If you choose inspection with inspection points, inspection points are assigned to a corresponding
partial lot to record inspection results. You can assign several partial lots to an inspection lot. A partial
lot describes a discrete production quantity that can be assigned to a batch. Once a usage decision for
this inspection point has been made, the inspection results of an inspection point are transferred to
the class characteristics of the batch linked to the master inspection characteristics.
If you want to carry out an inspection without inspection points, inspection results are recorded for the
entire inspection lot. You can assign the production quantity to a batch. Once a usage decision for the
entire inspection lot has been made, the inspection results are transferred to the class
characteristics of the batch linked to the master inspection characteristics.

To be able to transfer QM inspection results to the batch specification automatically, you must make the
following settings:
You must define the general characteristics in which the inspection results are to be transferred as a
numeric value.
You should create the master inspection characteristics with reference to corresponding general
characteristics. As a result, the value ranges of the general characteristic are transferred when you
carry out a quality inspection with a material specification.
You create a material specification for the material in QM. You can assign one master inspection
characteristic to each general characteristic. With this connection, you clearly specify which master
inspection characteristic transfers its result to which general characteristic.
If you have created master inspection characteristics with reference to general characteristics of the

The material to be produced TP-F3## belongs to class 023_08. The general characteristics C001, C002,
C003 of the classification system are assigned to this class. Material specification allows the general
characteristics to be assigned to the QM master inspection characteristics 9-111, 9-112, and 9-114.
Parallel to the production process, the inspection requests are created as inspection characteristics in the
operations or phases of the master recipe the inspection lot is based on, and transferred to the inspection
lot. The inspection results are recorded for the inspection characteristics of the inspection lot while the
process order is carried out. Since the finished product is to be handled in batches, the partial lot that has
been produced can be assigned to a batch "batch_01". The inspection results are transferred to the
classification characteristics of the batch produced during batch specification.

Aspects of Quality Inspection During Production:
Unit Summary

The quality of materials that have been produced

can be checked in-process.


The prerequisite for a quality inspection is the

creation of an inspection lot whose inspection


characteristics are maintained.
The partial lots produced can be assigned to

individual batches. In this case, inspection results


can be transferred to the classification
characteristics of the batch produced.

Why Use Engineering Change Management for
Changes?
Monitoring and documentation of changes
Planning and realization at a specified time
Saving several change statuses of an object
Integration with the logistics process chain
Grouping of related changes
For different objects
At the same or different times
With cross-application and special
documentation

SAP AG 1999

Engineering change management is a central logistics function that can be used to change various types
of master data and document the changes.
A valid-from date for the change master record (or the engineering change request/engineering change
order) is used to make changes valid on a predefined date. This aids long-term planning.
You can use engineering change management to store R/3 objects (for example, BOMs or routings) more
than once. This means that the objects can be stored in all relevant change statuses.
The changes take effect automatically at the predefined time in all areas of the logistics process chain
(for example, sales order, material requirements planning, and shop floor and production control).
You can use engineering change managment to group changes to different R/3 objects that are affected
by one change. You can change all the objects at the same time, or you can define different change dates
for individual objects. You can create general documentation for all changes made as well as special
documentation for each specific object change.
You can use engineering change management to fulfill your legal obligations to document changes.

SAP AG 1999

You can perform object changes (for example, BOM and routing changes) in the system either with or
without history. The system generates change documents even for changes without history.
Changes without history
These are changes that do not have to be documented because they take place during the development
stage of the product, for example.
The status of the object before the change is not saved. You can only find out about the status of the
object before the change by using change documents.
Changes with history
These are changes that must be documented because they take place during production, for example.
Both the status before and after the change is saved. The system also generates change documents. These
change documents differ for some objects from those generated for changes without history.
Engineering change management in the SAP System allows for complete documentation of changes.
Some of these changes may be needed for product liability purposes, for example.

SAP AG 1999

Change master records (synonymous with change numbers) are used to plan changes in advance and
combine related changes to different objects, such as master recipes, materials, and bills of material.
They are created within engineering change management and can contain such information as:
The date from which the changes are to be valid
The types of objects and, if required, object management records for the individual objects to be
changed
A special authorization that you need to work with the change master record
You can create, change, or display a master recipe with reference to a change master record. The validfrom date in the master record is then used as the key date. This implies:
When you create a recipe, the new recipe is valid from this date.
When you display or change a recipe, the system selects the change status valid on this date.
Unlike recipe maintenance without a change number, the system creates a new change status for all
changed objects. This change status is valid from the valid-from date of the change number.

Every recipe object (such as, header, operation, material component) has a validity period. You can
determine the start of this validity period using the key date you enter when creating or changing a
recipe or recipe object.
When you create a recipe, the recipe becomes valid from the key date.
When you select a recipe for change or display, the system displays the recipe version valid on the
key date.
If you change a recipe with a change number, the system uses the valid-from date in the change
master record as the key date. The new change status becomes valid from that date.
If you change a master recipe without a change number, the change is valid for the entire validity
period of the change status selected.
The default value for the key date is the current date.

Engineering change orders have the functionality of change master records. However, they comprise the
following additional functions:
The possibility of triggering a workflow task such as sending a message to the person responsible at
a particular processing stage
A procedure for the approval and release of changes during which an unapproved engineering
change request is converted into an approved engineering change order.
The assignment of a user status profile to extend the system status network
The assignment of authorizations for user statuses
You can create, change, or display a master recipe with reference to an engineering change order. The
valid-from date of the engineering change order is then used as the key date. The engineering change
order must meet the following requirements:
It must have been approved and contain at least one object management record
If a corresponding change rule has been maintained for the recipe, the change type of the object
management record must also be identical to that in the recipe header.
To maintain component assignments, material quantity calculation, and the bill of material from
within the recipe, you also need an object management record with approved changes for the bill of
material.

General header data of the change request:


The change request is identified by the change number you enter.
The change type controls the change process for the entire order using a system status profile. You
can assign a user status profile and workflow tasks for different processing steps to the change type.
The valid-from date specifies the date on which the changes come into effect.
By entering an authorization group, you can define that a special authorization is required to
maintain the engineering change request.
Entering a reason for the change enables you to document planned changes fully.
Allowed object types:
You must define the object types that may be changed with the engineering change request. These
include, for instance, master recipes, material BOMs, and material master records.
Creating object management records for objects you want to change:
You must create an object management change record for every object you want to change using
the engineering change request. An example for a change object would be a certain master recipe.
You maintain a change type for each object management record. The change type controls the
change process for the specific object.
Entering a reason for the change for an object management record enables you to document planned
changes of a particular object fully.

In contrast to the engineering change requests/orders, you may not enter any change types for change
master records. There is no system status network for change master records.
Since object management records are not automatically generated for the engineering change
request/order, the icon for this does not appear in the object type overview.
You cannot use the automatic generation function here, because the engineering change request/order is
to control the business processes of requesting, inspecting, and releasing changes for certain assigned
objects. This excludes an implied assignment during object change itself (by using the change number).

SAP AG 1999

In process industries, requirements for documentation and checking of master recipes vary widely
depending on the branch of industry and the product. They range from fairly unrestricted maintenance of
recipes to detailed planning, documentation and even strict approval procedures.
To meet these requirements, the R/3 System offers various types of recipe maintenance. You can enter a
change rule in the recipe to specify the maintenance procedure that is to be used for a recipe (General
View screen).
You can create or change master recipes as follows:
Without a change number:
All you need is an authorization for the corresponding recipe transactions. Changes are valid for the
entire validity period of the selected change status.
With a change number:
By using a change master record, you can combine planning and execution when creating and
changing related objects such as recipes, materials, and bills of material. The validity date is
specified using a change master record (synonymous with change number). A new version is
created for all changed recipe objects (for example, operation, relationship).
With an engineering change order:
With engineering change orders, the functionality of the change master record is enhanced by a
detailed approval procedure. By entering a change type, you can specify that the approval procedure
must be carried out in a specific user-defined way.

(C) SAP AG

LO305

As soon as you have assigned a change rule to a recipe and thus defined that it is subject to a specific
change procedure, this recipe is locked for all change procedures that are less restrictive. To revoke the
restriction, you must change the recipe in the way specified in the change procedure.

The procedure for approving and releasing engineering change requests or orders is controlled via links
between statuses and business transactions. The statuses mark particular processing statuses during the
approval procedure. They include both fixed system statuses and user-defined user statuses. You can
proceed from one status to the next by carrying out a business transaction.
The predefined status network for the object management record is valid for all objects to be changed
that are of the object type material, document, BOM, and task list.
You can easily change the status from Change possible to Change not possible or Change not necessary
in any direction, as shown in the graphic.
Only the status Change possible requires further consideration of the object change and the setting of
another status. When at least one object management record contains this status, the request that belongs
to it must be converted to an order.
After you make the setting Change complete, the change can be set to Errors in change. In this case, the
errors must be corrected before the changes can be released.
You can extend the status network to include user status.

An extensive, pre-defined status network exists for the engineering change request/order (process
control).
You are only allowed to assign object management records to the order before you set the status
Checked.
When all assigned object management records have the status Change possible or Change not required,
the request can be set to Checked and Approved and can be converted to an order.
After setting the status to Checked or Approved, the request can be rejected.
After settting the status to Approved, the approval can be withdrawn.
If at least one object is to be changed, the request must be converted to an order.
Before converting, you must maintain the valid-from date of the request.
After converting, you can set the request to Not complete. In this case, you must set the request to
Complete again in order for the process to continue.
When the order and the object management record have been released, the object can be changed.
You can lock the request/order at any time and withdraw the lock again.
You can extend the status network to include user statuses.

SAP AG 1999

The change procedure using an engineering change request comprises three main steps:
Creating an engineering change request
Checking an engineering change request and converting it into an engineering change order
Changing objects and completing the change
For a master recipe marked with change type With engineering change order, this process represents an
approval procedure. Once the procedure has been released, the maintained recipe is marked as Approved
recipe for the change period defined by the valid-from date of the change request.
Recipes that have already been approved but are changed using another change order are considered
unapproved during the period between the conversion and release for the change period defined by the
valid-from date. Approval is granted when the change order is released.

SAP AG 1999

The procedure for approving and releasing engineering change requests or orders is controlled via links
between statuses and business transactions. The statuses mark particular processing statuses during the
approval procedure. They include:
A fixed network of system statuses
Company-specific user statuses
You can proceed from one status to the next by carrying out a business transaction.
SAP has defined a standard approval procedure, which has been implemented via a network of system
statuses:
1. An engineering change request is created that describes planned changes to various objects,
including master recipes.
2. The planned changes to the individual objects are checked and marked as possible or
unnecessary.
3. After the check has been concluded, the engineering change request is approved and converted
into an engineering change order. Now you can make the changes, that is, the master recipe can
be maintained with reference to the engineering change order.

4. After the changes to all objects have been made, the entire engineering change order is
completed.
5. The engineering change order is released.
The recipe has now been approved and can be used to create orders requiring an approved recipe.
If the approval procedure defined by SAP does not meet all your requirements, you can add companyspecific checks at the change order header or change object level. To do so, assign a change type with a
corresponding user status profile to the engineering change request or the change object.
Status profiles are defined and assigned to change types within Customizing for engineering change
management. They contain company-specific user statuses. In the status profile, you link these user
statuses to the business transactions you carry out, thus inserting them in the existing network of system
statuses.
You can specify that a special authorization is required to set or delete a user status.

SAP AG 1999

You can specify that a user must execute a digital signature to be able to carry out particular business
transactions.
The digital signature enables you to meet the security requirements laid down in the Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP) with regard to the execution of these transactions. The digital signature
ensures that:
A transaction can only be carried out by users with a special authorization
The user identification is unique and forgery-proof
The name of the user is documented together with the signed transaction and the date and time, and
cannot be falsified afterwards.

To specify that a digital signature is required for the above mentioned transactions, you must have
activated the function in the relevant application. This can be done in the following ways:
In PP-PI:
For completing a phase as well as for accepting invalid input values in the PI sheet, set the DS
(digital signature) indicator in Customizing for Control Recipe Destinations.
When approving a batch record, the user must always execute a digital signature.
In engineering change management:
To save status changes of the engineering change request before order processing, set the Dig. sig.
indicator in Customizing for change types for object master records.
For change order release, set the Dig. sig. indicator in Customizing for change types for object
master records.
In QM:
For inspection results recording, set the Digital signature for results recording indicator in the
material authorization groups.
For the usage decision, set the Digital signature for usage decision indicator in the material
authorization groups.

SAP AG 1999

PP-PI comprises the following functional areas :


Resource management: The PI-specific master data of resources describes all means of production
and persons involved in the production process.
Master recipe management: The PI-specific master data of master recipes describes the
manufacture of one or more materials in one production run without relating to a particular order.
Master recipes are the basis for process orders.
Process planning comprises the planning of process orders. Process orders are created on the basis
of master recipes. They describe and monitor the actual production process.
Process management coordinates the transfer of data between PP-PI and the process control level.
It can be used in fully automated, partially automated, and manually operated plants.
Process data documentation and evaluation enables a detailed documentation and evaluation of
all planned and actual values of a process.
PP-PI is integrated with, for example:
R/3 Quality Management. Via a special interface, external laboratory information systems
(LIMS) can be linked to R/3 QM.
The higher-level planning components of R/3. Production requirements for PP-PI are created in R/3
Material Requirements Planning. Via a special interface, you can also transfer requirements
from an R/2 System or an external planning system to PP-PI.
The master data and functions of R/3 Materials Management (such as material, inventory
management).

planned production quantities.
During process planning, planned orders are converted into process orders. The basic dates and
production quantities are copied from the planned order. The actual production dates are calculated using
the basic dates. You can also create a process order manually.
A process order provides a detailed description of the actual production of one or more materials in one
production run. It is the main control instrument in production, describing and monitoring all planned
and actual data relating to production.
A master recipe is used as the basis for a process order. It defines, for example, the planned resources
and material components.
After a process order has been released for production, the process instructions maintained in the order
are bundled into control recipes by process management. The control recipes are either transferred to a
process control system via a specific interface or are displayed online in the form of a process
instruction sheet (PI sheet) that can be read and maintained by process operators.
Process management in turn receives process messages from the process control level and transfers
them to various destinations. For instance, it is possible to record confirmations for the process order,
transfer actual values of the process to functions for process data documentation and evaluation, post
material consumptions or production yields as goods movements and transfer quality data to Quality
Management results recording.

16.11Summary: Exercises
Unit: Summary

At the conclusion of these exercises, you will be able to:


Create and process orders
Carry out batch determination and resource selection
Generate a control recipe and a PI sheet
Work with the message monitor
You have made the settings and maintained the data necessary for
the process manufacturing of the new product in the R/3 System.
As the person responsible, create a process order and have the
corresponding PI sheet processed by a line operator.

Note: The following exercises will illustrate the complete execution of a process order based on
the master data created in the previous exercises.
1-1

Creating process orders


Create a process order of the order type PI01 for material T-FD1## (detergent) in plant
1100.

Total quantity:

(for example) 10000L

Basic dates: start

(for example) today + 1


week

Choose Enter and pay attention to the messages in the status bar. The master recipe TDET1## (detergent production) is copied with the material list and the process order is
scheduled.
On the Operation Overview and Material List screens, check whether the data from the
master recipe T-DET1## has been copied correctly.

System-aided batch determination


Note:
In the previous exercises, you posted batch stocks for your material component TRD1## which is to be handled in batches. The batches are classified with the class
023_14 (detergent production) of the class type 023 (batch). The characteristics M100
(concentration) and M200 (density) are assigned to class 023_14 to which you assigned
the corresponding batch characteristics.
You also classified the BOM item 0010 T-RD1## in the BOM for material T-FD1##
with the same class. By doing this, you defined selection conditions for a system-aided
batch determination.
Execute batch determination for component T-RD1## in the order.
Pay attention to the messages.
Assign a selected batch.
Save your order and write down the order number. __________________.

1-3

System-aided resource selection


Note:
In the previous exercises, you classified your reaction vessel with the class REAC_##
(Reaction vessel) of the class type 019 (Work center class) and defined specific
characteristics for these resources by assigning them values.
The resource T-DTG1## that is assigned to operation 200 only serves planning
purposes (task list usage C## Recipe until release group##). An order cannot be
released with this resource. Before the release of an order can take place, a planning
resource must be replaced with a suitable real resource.
You also classified operation 200 with the class REAC_## and, by assigning the
corresponding values to the characteristics, defined selection conditions for a systemaided resource selection of a suitable reaction vessel. The resource network is
considered at the same time.
Execute a resource selection for operation 200.
Select a resource.
