process order

[former_member205751]

I want to create a process order for milk processing unit converted to cheese...milk is roh and cheese is fert

1. What the basic SPRO setting should i make in order type dependent parameters,production scheduling profile and other various settings in SPRO

2. in MRP what setting should i make

3. milk is the only component so in CS01 ,how do i create a BOM

4.what MRP run should i do is MD03 (single material) or MD02?

5. how do i create a process order from mrp run screen is similar to production order created via MD01?

6.what setting should i make in differnet process order tabs?

7.master receipe is similar to routing in production order ..but i find phases in master receipe wht does phases mean?

8.in c223 (production version craetor) how do i create a production version with BOM and master receipe ...in production order you can do it with routing and bom but in process order how a production version is done

9.product cost collector mf6n how do i capture costs?

I come from a production engineering backgorund ...so i am bit perplexed with my first process order i am doing for my client..but i know process order is very difficult compared to production order.I understand my question is big if you can provide the clear  basics settings that i have to do ...from that point i can pick up use my common sense and get it done..seeking your ardent support

Hi Rahul,

Check with below options

1. What the basic SPRO setting should i make in order type dependent parameters,production scheduling profile and other various settings in SPRO

Maintain the separate order type for Cheese manufacturing to have track of it separately and will be helpful to analyses if you have multiple milk products. And no unique settings for production scheduling profile, maintain as per business requirement.

2. in MRP what setting should i make 

Check the planning strategies, and how you plan for Cheese, it depends on business requirement. You can go with MTS strategy in general if you are planning for milk. But usually in Milk industry it depends on the Milk avaibility so planning depends on customer requirement and you have to check possibilities in SAP to meet client requirement.

3. milk is the only component so in CS01 ,how do i create a BOM 

Maintain Milk as one of component in Cheese BOM, if you get any by product then maintain that also in BOM (no difference in BOM creation wrt normal process).

4.what MRP run should i do is MD03 (single material) or MD02?

MRP run depends whether you use for single level or multi level. Decide on BOM of cheese.

5. how do i create a process order from mrp run screen is similar to production order created via MD01?

After MRP run you get planned order convert it into process order and execute.

6.what setting should i make in differnet process order tabs?

If you know production order settings then for process order also it is similar in nature. Refer many links for config in the forum. Maintain order type and dependent parameter for process order , and other requriements.

7.master receipe is similar to routing in production order ..but i find phases in master receipe wht does phases mean?

Phase is the process in the operation, for example in process industry you can maintain milk processing as operation which has multiple phases like pasteurization etc.  Check SAP help link to know more on phase.

8.in c223 (production version craetor) how do i create a production version with BOM and master receipe ...in production order you can do it with routing and bom but in process order how a production version is done

Production version creation for process order is not different than production order. You can create it in C223.

9.product cost collector mf6n how do i capture costs?

Check with costing, do you want to capture cost through product cost collector or at order level. Once you decide then refer the links in the forum on how to create product cost collector, as you posted question no more difference in production and process orders in these subjects.

Best regards,

Sharat

sharat really a excellent explanation....got a clarity from your answer...my serious thanks to you.

My first question would be why do you want to go with process orders for this scenario? Do you have any process instructions etc for the manufacturing? Do you have to follow any cGMP regulations?

well the roh is milk from farmers and n number of work centres each M/C named as work centre ...they go through a series of operations( master receipe) before getting converted to cheese...obviously it is a process..so process order fits the bill
