Regarding automatic production/process order creation/release/print.

[Former Member]

Hi PP Gurus,

The requirement is Planned orders will be converted to Production/Process Orders automatically 4 days in advance of the scheduled start of production date. And Production and Process orders will be released and printed automatically 2 day before the scheduled start date.

What are the configuration steps required for that? Is it the standard functionality or some enhancement needs to be done to achieve the same?

Thanks & Regards,

Abu Arbab

Dear,

Yes you can do this with Program PPBICO40 Schedule the program for converting planned orders to prod orders define you selection there and schedule in background.

For auto release and Pronting create the production scheduling profile in OPKP and assign it to the work scheduling view.

Please try and come back.

Hi Rupesh/Mangalraj,

Thanks for valuable input

The Production scheduling profile is created in such a way that the Production order will not be released once Production order is created. And the requirement is that BEFORE 4 days of Scheduled start date Production order should be RELEASED. So I think there should be two step program, one will create Production orders from planned order and the second one will release the production order. Please make a prompt commnt.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

The Conversion of Planned Order to production order can be done with the Tranaction Code: CO41 or with the Program : PPBICO40.

Release of Production Orders can be with the Tranaction Code: COHV (Mass Processing)

Here in the Selection Screen (first Tab) specify the Plant, System Status - CRTD and the Relative dates at Header Level as -999 to 4.

In the second Tab - Select the Fucntion - Release

Function Parameters - Order Release.

Schedule the BAckground job, after the Planned Order Conversion Job.

Because of the Relative Dates at header Level as +4, system will select the Order till the 4 th day from today and release that..

Similarly schedule a Background job with the Parametrs as REL but no PRT (Printed).

Specify the dates as required..

In the Second tab specify the Fucnction - Printing of Shop Papers

So that automatic Printing will happen..

Hope this helps..

Best Regards,

Dear Abu,

In my understanding its not possible in standard SAP by making some configuration settings.

Collective conversion of planned orders can be made through CO41 and collective order release can be

using CO05 or CO05N.

But printing of shop floor papers can be executed using the prod.schedu.profile assigned in the material

master.

Check in OPKP for the production scheduling profile under the tab on release.

Here you cant create a variant to execute any T codes related to this.

By some developments this can be achieved.

Check whether this FM, CO_SD_PLANNED_ORDER_CONVERT (or)

BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE_FROM_REF can help you.
