Industry specific verticle for Process Industry

[Former Member]

We have implemented MySAP ECC 6.00 in our company. Our company produces BOPP Film. We have implemented 6 modules FI,CO,PP,MM,SD and QM. In PP modules we stuck because of width. I want to ask whether there is any industry specific solution for Process Industry?

Hi Sudhir, Since the width makes the product unique, it is best to have indiviual item code for each particular width.This is simplest solution.(especially you are saying widthwise stocking and widthwise costing is must).

Hi Sandeep,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I will explain you in detail.

Our Company was started in 1980 to manufacture Bi-axially Oriented Polypropylene Films (BOPP) for the first time in India. Since inception we have maintained market leadership in the Indian market and also Continues to be largest BOPP film exporter from the Country. .

In 1996 we have implemented AVALON erp. The implementor was TCS Hyderabad. Presently also it is running very fine but due to technical cnstraints, we decided to switch over to SAP.

We are in process of implemening MySAP ECC6.00. Implementor is WIPRO. As our company is a Continious process industry we expect to implent the PPPI module.

As far as our process is concerned first stage to produce a JUMBO roll. The width may be 1000 mm. Further these Jumbo rolls are slitted as per requirement from customer. Here the width part plays a major roll. The requirement from customer is in any width right from 64 mm to 500 MM. Let us say our product code is xyz with various width. Our main requirement is widthwise stock and widthwise costing. We do not want to incorporate the width in itemcode. How can this problem will be solved?

Waiting for a feseable solution.

Thanks Sudhir

Dear Sudhir,

This Business Scenario can be mapped in Std. R/3 system itself insted of using IS Solution.

(a) You can split your production order based on customer needs and demands.

(b) You can apilt and convert using Sub-Contracting process.

(c) Using VC

Prerequisite for (a) and (b): You need to go for multiple material codes based on your finished goods material width. If price is common for fixed tolerance, then you can minimize the number of material codes.

Hope this info will be useful.

Bye,
