Hi,

Production order -

it generally used in Discrete / manufacturing industries and process is not too much difficult.

Master data requires are,

- Routing

- Work Center

- Bill of Materials

T.code to Creat/Change/Display are,

CO01/CO02/CO03.

Process Order :-

Process order is generally used for Process Industries(Pharmaceuticals / Chemical) where process is quite Complex then other industries and requires instructions to guide operators.

Master data requires are,

- Resource

- Master Recipe

- Bill of Materials

- PI sheet (Which is part of Master Recipe)

T.code to Create/Change/Dipslay are COR1/COR2/COR3.

Regards,

Hi Rajkumar,

Discrete Manufacturing:

u2022 Medium level of Shop floor Integration

u2022 Process Instructions or messages are not used.

u2022 Relatively less data is captured

u2022 Shop floor papers are used from the execution.

u2022 SAP script formatting requires for shop floor papers development

u2022 Collective order processing is possible and preferred

u2022 Process orders are used in the production execution

u2022 Routing, Work centers are primarily used in the master data

u2022 Resource Hierarchy & Network processing NOT possible

u2022 Medium level of SAP Training and operator input required

u2022 Reference Operation Sets are possible

u2022 Order Structure follows Operations and Sub-Operations

u2022 Status management tracked at Header and Operation level

u2022 Trigger Point functionality is possible (Workflow, Releasing operations etc.

u2022 Intra materials are not allowed Shop floor papers are used for the Mfg Specs

u2022 Possible but not very specific

u2022 QM integration is Medium

u2022 CAPP processing is possible

Process Manufacturing:

u2022 High level of Shop floor Integration

u2022 Specifically designed for interfacing with MES systems through process messages and process instructions

u2022 PP-PI is used to capture substantial amount of data from shop floor.

u2022 PI Sheets are used on-line to capture the shop floor activities

u2022 Configuration and also development may be required for PI Sheet design

u2022 Collective order processing is possible but NOT preferred Process orders are used in the production execution

u2022 Recipe, Resources and Production Versions are used in the Master data

u2022 Resource Hierarchy & Network processing possible

u2022 High level of SAP Training and operator input required

u2022 Reference Operation Sets are NOT possible

u2022 Order Structure follows Operations and Phases

u2022 Status management tracked at Header and Phase level Process orders are used in the production execution

u2022 Reference Operation Sets are NOT possible

u2022 Order Structure follows Operations and Phases

u2022 Status management tracked at Header and Phase level Trigger point functionality NOT possible as a standard

u2022 Intra (Intermediate) materials are allowed for in process analysis Mfg specifications are extensively used online

u2022 Specifically designed to accommodate FDA & GMP requirements

u2022 Digital Signatures can be captured online

u2022 High level of QM integration due to PI-Sheet

u2022 CAPP NOT possible

Thanks

Discrete Manufacturing:

1. Order based production (Production in individual production orders)

2. Product change frequently.

3. Varying sequence of work centers (complex routing)

4. SFG are put in to interim storage.

5. Components staged with reference to order

6. Status processing.

7. Completion confirmation (back flush) for individual operations or orders

8. Order- based cost controlling

3. Varying sequence of Resources

7. Completion confirmation (back flush) for individual operations or orders

8. Order- based cost controlling

9. Master recipes have the same basic structure as routings, inspection plans, maintenance task lists. As a generic term for these objects, SAP has introduced the term Task list. (In the phases and operations, the master recipe describes the activities necessary for production, allocates resources and materials, and contains process instructions and PI characteristics below the phases for process control purposes)

10. Recipes contain operations, which can be further subdivided into phases. A phase as well as an operation can have materials allocated to it
