SAP Production Planning Overview
The Production Planning and Control comprise of 2 evident procedures of Planning and Execution.
Production Planning Process
Planning
Production is by and large done from budgeted sales plan. Planning depends on the Sales intend to meet the business necessities according to the production process durations. Interest for the Product is entered through request administration as planned independent requirement(PIR). This information from interest administration turns into the contribution to Material requirement planning (MRP). MRP checks for the accessibility of different raw materials utilized for creation at various stages utilizing the master data, for example, Bill of material (BOM) and accessible current plant stocks.
In the event of material deficiency, Purchase demands are made for materials which are remotely secured, and arranged orders are made for in-house delivered materials.
These buy demands and planned orders start the Procurement Cycle and the Execution Cycle of Production respectively.
As MRP works with unending limits, limit leveling must be done so as to keep in order to avoid any limit bottlenecks.
Execution
These Planned orders are changed over to Production orders, and are booked according to the production timings utilizing master data, for example, routings.
Production Orders are discharged by the Production Supervisor on the shop floor, and material accessibility checks can likewise be completed to check if there are any missing parts.
Production is done in light of the exercises kept up in the Routing where the master data like Work Center is said against every task in the Routing.
Once the production is finished, the Confirmations of requests are executed, and merchandise development for material utilizations and products receipt are posted against the Order. Thus, the Order gets the Delivered (DLV) status, and the material is gotten into wanted capacity area.
For the most part at the month end before doing order settlement, production order should be set to in fact finished status so as to ascertain generation differences by the controlling work force.
Demand Management
The function of Demand Management is to gauge necessity amounts and conveyance dates for completed products and essential congregations. Demand Management utilizes PIR (Planned Independent Requirements) and client necessities.
Planning methodologies must be characterized for a product. It speaks to the strategies of production for planning and assembling. There are two techniques by which we can do this.
Make to Stock:
Production of products without having deals orders, i.e., stock is delivered autonomously of orders.
Make to Order:
This methodology applies to the production of material for a particular individual sales request or detail.
Material Requirement Planning (MRP)
MRP decides any deficiencies and makes the suitable acquisition components. It does net necessity computation and create planned orders for in-house delivered materials and buy demand for raw materials.
It leads time booking and calculate production dates in planned orders.
It detonates the BOM and produces obtainment proposition at each BOM levels.
Capacity Planning and Leveling
Capacity planning is utilized to analyze the limit over-burdens at work center and move the requests to stay away from any limit bottlenecks.
Limit necessities are created by means of MRP on Work Center and since MRP works with endless limit and plans everything on work center without thinking about any limit limitations. It is required to level the limit at the work center.
Capacity can be leveled at each work center through planning table with a specific end goal to make limitation production plan.
Production Orders
The yield of MRP will be “Planned Orders”, which should be changed over to production orders for promote execution of the procedure.
The Production Order is solidified receipt component, which isn’t influenced by MRP run, not at all like Planned Orders.
• Production Order is a report which indicates what material should be created and in what amount. It likewise contains the BOM segments and routing operation data to be performed at the work center.
• Production Order is released for execution, and material accessibility looks at can be conveyed which decides whether there are any missing parts.
Production Order Confirmation
At the point when merchandise are produced physically at the shop floor, at that point production order must be affirmed.
Amid affirmation, segments materials can be expended consequently through back flush mechanism and Goods receipt of material can be performed naturally by means of operation Control key in Routing.
In any case, rather than auto products development, manual Goods Issue and receipt can be performed independently from affirmation.
Any fizzled merchandise development because of a deficiency of segment stock can be reprocessed physically.
Movement costs, for example, machine, work, and so forth will likewise be refreshed in the production order amid affirmation on an actual basis.
The request gets CNF (Confirmed) and DLV (Delivered) status after definite affirmation and last Goods receipt.
On the off chance that affirmation is posted wrongly, at that point we can drop the affirmation and post it again with correct data.
Production Order Close
After the production order is conveyed totally or we would prefer not to execute the request encourage then Order ought to be actually finished.
After Order gets TECO status, it gets erased from stock/necessity list and is never again considered in material requirement planning run. Every reliant reservation likewise get erased from the framework.
