Batch Management -

In various industries – particularly the process industry – you have to work with homogenous partial quantities of a material or product throughout the logistics quantity and value chain.

There are various reasons for this:

Legal requirements (for example, the guidelines set out by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) or regulations on hazardous material

Defect tracing, callback activities, and regression requirement

The need for differentiated quantity-and value-based Inventory Management (for example, due to heterogeneous yield/result qualities or varying constituents in Production.

Differences in usage and the monitoring thereof in materials planning in SD and Production.

Production or procedural requirements (for example, settlement of material quantities on the basis of different batch specifications).

Production Information System -

It is a reporting system showing the number of order created, released, confirmed, the quantity produced and all the details related to the Production orders.

Following analysis can be done using the reports of the Prodcution Information System -

Operation analysis

Material analysis

Work center analysis

Product cost analysis

PP-PI material consumption analysis

It can also called as Shop floor Information System.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Madan

In addition to Ramachandra comments

Digital signature is the funtionality used in SAP in some process like PI sheet entry,Usage decision , result recording.

you have to define the signature group and strategy and individual signatures in customising

Then you have to assign the signature to business process ie where you want to use this. example say usage decision in QM and method ie whether to use sap user name and password or external username and password.

Then the authorisation group will be assigned in QM view.

When you make usage decision and save ,Pop up will come for dig sig asking for username and password

This way digital signature is used to control the use of important transactions in SAP

Try to give points to useful answers as a encouragement as I see very little encouragement from your side in awarding points
