Transaction CA97N in depth manual of functionality

[Former Member]

Greetings all,

We are currently experiencing a knowledge gap on how CA97N is used. It seems that we have a basic knowledge, but we have been requested to find a manual on how exactly this transaction works. I have been told that the online document in not sufficient. Please advise where we could find something like this. Thanks.

Hi

the following fields will get updatedin work scheduling screen of material master:

MARC-RUEZT

MARC-TRANZ

MARC-BEARZ

MARC-BASMG

The answer for your question "How this program works" is:

lies in the URL given by me in the above answer.

Pl. work with a practical example.

Then only you can get insight into the functionality.

We are looking to see exactly how this program works. Which fields does it update? How does it update them. What is the sequence it updates the fields in? etc. We want to know why because we are not sure what fields it is updating. We might not want some of the fields to be updated, but we don't know how to stop it.

I am just giving you the std SAP help, pl go through it first and come up with your question.

Transferring Scheduling Results to a Material Master Record

You can specify the in-house production time dependent or independent of lot sizes in the material master record. After non order-related scheduling has been carried out for a routing, you can update the in-house production time dependent on lot sizes in the material master with the new data determined by scheduling. It is important for requirements planning that the scheduling data in the material master and the routing agree.

In requirements planning, the system first calculates the basic order dates from the data in the material master record. In detailed planning, the data in the routing is used. If, for example, you have maintained a shorter in-house production time in the material master than in the routing, the system begins reduction measures even though this may not be your intention.

The following data can be transferred when you update the material master:

u2022 Setup time

u2022 Processing time

u2022 Interoperation time

u2022 Base quantity

The lot size you used to schedule the routing is copied in the material master as the base quantity.

If you have maintained an in-house production time dependent on lot size in the material master, this value is set to zero when the material master is updated.

To update a material master record, you need authorization object C_ROUT_MAT in your user master record.

What actually you want to do? and why?

Hi

This is to update material master with routing timings.

It is some thing to do scheduling while running MRP.

while running MRP:

In the MRP control parameters under scheduling

If you select "1".system will consider the Inhouse production time in Material master & decides the basic dates.

This inhouse production time(DZEIT) is lot size indeopendent .

Irrespective of the lot size system will decide the basic dates.

Alternatively if you select Sceduling factor in MRP as '2"

sytem will do basic dates by considering material master inhouse production time like above & then proceed to detailed scheduling by considering the timing from routing.

If the dates decoiede by 1st method difers by large numbers inconsistencies will arise.

To avoid such situation we will update the material master by timing in roputing.

For this purpose CA97 /CA97N will be used.

To have more information on this pl. go through the following link.
