SAP R/3 and SAP B1 Production Planning(Urgent)

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can anyone please explain the basic difference between SAP B1 and SAP R/3 in terms of Production/Manufacturing module.I have worked in R/3, but not in B/1.

Please let me know what are the things possible in SAP R/3, but not in SAP B1 and vice versa.

And also in which scenario should I go for SAP B1 and when for R/3.

Thanks in advance.

There are many differences, but in a nutshell:

B1 doesn't do MPS or mutliple level forecast explosions

B1 doesn't do routed production orders, it doesn't do count-point repetetive mfg.

B1 isn't going to cost fifteen billion dollars and require a staff of thousands to implement.

There are add-ons that may be purchased for advanced production scheduling. We are testing an add-on variant configurator for B1. I wrote a VB program to provide a multi-level forecast explosion (like R3) for my company.

We use R3 for the parent company and other "complex" companies. B1 is being installed for the small, independent companies. (In a central server location)

Dear Dianne,

I have some specific queries this time.

Please clarify whether,

Repetetive Manufacturing

Batch Classification(with class and characteristics)

Operationwise Production Order Confirmation

is possible in SAP Business One or not.

Thanks in advance.

In addition to Diane's explanation, I could suggest you to consider beAS addon or other specific addon to solve your problem. you could find it from this link : http://cpsn-channel.sap.com/beas or http://cpsn-channel.sap.com.

By standard SBO, repetitive manufacturing type job shop, seems it can but simple (no routing and work center/machine center are available). Production order confirmation is complete in the axapta, there is 7 steps but in SBO only 3 steps : planned, released and closed.

Batch classification for items could be set in the item master data if it is enough for your requirement.
