CREATING SERIAL TRACEABILITY DURING PRODUCTION PROCESS IN DISCRETE MANUFAC

We are manufacturing part with serial number identification.
We can identify the history fo material + serial combination only after completing our production and transfer completed part to storage.
We are interesting in creation serial history / traceability during our production process.
WE could not found any solution via Phase confirmation or via Equipment management or even Material movements
We must to know in what operation sereal number exist in real time traceability.
With regards.
B. Betzer

Basically the Serial Number is Unique irrespective of the operation.
That will be carried out through outthe life cycle in the way of particular Material+Serial Number combination
So you can give the Serial Number in the Particular Work Order and Operation
I assume there will be a Marking Machine that needs to Punch/engrave/print the Serial Number and you are interested to give work order to that machine

Co products and by products during production process

hi,
I have a production scenario where in both co products as well
by products exists during production process.
We can maintain co products by choosing the indicator in material master and in BOM but how should i maintain the by products?
And also, co products and by products produced will undergo further production process with different operations, in this scenario how I can include these operations and products in my production planning? and how the costs are calculated?
Can any one please help in this regard.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan

Hi
For Co-product just by choosing the indicator in material master and in BOM.
So when ever u confirm the production order co- product GR done automatically through 101 movement type.
For By-product
1) u have to enter the byproduct code in the BOM with -ve sign if ur by-product is fixed qty.
2) If ur by-product is varying qty then u have to post the by product qty through MIGO 531 movement type against the production order.

Unique serial number during production order release for FG materials

Hi,
Actually our client is asking for serial number generation for each FG material during its production order release.
So that with this serial number he can track it in shop floor plus after dispatching to customer.
Here the scenario is Make To Order, this serial number will also be considered by SD during dispatch.
For serial number creation, I referred documents from SAP best practices(help.sap.com).
After this, now I am able to create serial number for specific material automatically.
Currently I am getting serial number with respect to material specific, i.e., serial number generating with respect to FG codes. Ex:- FG1 - 1, 2, 3, 4 and FG2 - 1, 2, 3, 4.
But as per my client requirement, they want serial number without material specific, i.e., common serial number for all FG codes.
Ex:- Sr No- 1-FG1, 2-FG1, 3-FG2, 4-FG1 - - - - according to production order releasing sequence.
Plz inform if any settings are to be made.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Arman,
I Had got solution for how to track which FG is linked to which SFG sr no, just go through the below link it also gives how to use COIB transaction.
COIB transaction usage, how to track which FG is linked to which SFG sr no
But still I had not got solution for
how to assign common serial number for all FG codes automatically
Ex:- Sr No- 1 -> FG1,
2 -> FG1,
3 -> FG2,
4 -> FG1
- - - - according to production order releasing sequence.
Whether is it automatic serial number assignment is possible or not.
Plz inform if any settings are to be made.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks Glenn Larson,
This is the first time for me for creating serial number for FG materials.
Actually our client is asking for serial number generation for each FG material during its production order release.
So that with this serial number he can track it in shop floor plus after dispatching to customer.
Here the scenario is Make To Order. So this serial number will also be considered by SD during dispatch.
For serial number creation, I referred documents from SAP best practices(help.sap.com).
After this, now I am able to create serial number for specific material types automatically.
But here the condition is client wants serial number should not be specific to material codes but should be common throughout the plant for all FG codes.
Ex:- Sr No- 1 for FG1,
                   2 for FG2,
                   3 for FG2,
                   4 for FG3
- according to production order releasing sequence.
Me dont know about Presort and IMB serial numbers.
Please tell me the appropriate approach I can make or any of links which I can refer.

Maintaining Batch number & Serial number in production process

Hi!
we have a specific scenario like below:
our client will purchase Steel RODS with size 32 Feet and perform different operations, while performing some operations, the quanity get increased , for example 2 quantity of steel rods he is using in production , after 2nd operation it will become 4 quanity and this 4 quantity is input for 3rd operation, like this after final operation, it will become 20 quantity of finished products ( operations are like straightening, cutting, honing etc., ).
First of all how to create production orders ( whether we can treat this as discrete or repetitive manufacturing)?
second , client wants to track each rod used in the production which are breaking into different parts using batch number and serial number ( for example in ABC 32 Feet rod is used and cut into ABC -01 4 feet, ABC-02 6 feet like this).
Please suggest..
regs,
ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
This is a lot to deal with, many questions arising. Like what is the best UOM for the initial and in process RODS? EA or Meters, or maybe KGs? How are they measured?
Then if you need to track RODS in process using batches, then it means that you have to define more than one level of production; batches can only be used in the context of stock.

Create debit entry in DFKKOP during Return processing

Hi,
I have a requirement where an debit entry with particular main/sub needs to be created in DFKKOP during return processing. Can anyone have idea how we can approach for this requirement? Any FQEvent and FM/BAPI for debit entry creation.
Thanks in advance,
Murtuza

Let me explain the exact requirement. Actually this requirement is a suggested solution of the below issue.
In our system, there is an extra charge called NC charges along with consumption for selected accounts.
So with consumtion line item in DFKKOP, there is NC line item having main/sub for example as 999/S*
Now payment is made with full amount (consumption + NC charge), then system clears both consumption+NC items with payment and also creates one more line in DFKKOP with main/sub as 999/A* having the exact amount of 999/S* item. (I dont know the reason for this logic and how it is implemented)
Issue comes when Return is processed for the above payment. It removes clearing status of consumption+NC items and clears payment document with return document. But here is fails to create debit entry for 999/A* item (as it was created extra with payment). So my requirement is to create this line during Return. Otherwise it shows reconciliation difference during G/L posting for NC business unit.

Serial number during GI posting REM scenario

HELLO ALL,
We are having repetitive manufacturing scenario, we want serial numbers to be entered during goods issue posting (MFBF tranaction), please suggest what should be done.
I have configured in OIS2 and serialisation attributes for movement types for procedure MMSL with movement types 261 & 131.
When I do production booking through MFBF, system is asking for header material serial number however it is not asking the serial number for components for which serilization procedure is set as mandatory.
Moreover system is giving the error message "Message no. IO304"
Only 0 serial numbers entered instead of 1
Message no. IO304
Diagnosis
There is a serial number obligation, so the number of serial numbers must equal the number of serial numbers in the material document.
You can post the operation only if you entered the correct number of serial numbers previously.
System Response
Depending on the context in which the error arises, the system continues processing, or the required function cannot be performed.
Procedure
You have the following options, for example:
Check that the serial numbers are entered fully.
If necessary, display an error log.
If necessary, contact your system administrator.
please suggest how to enter serial numbers when posting the GI for components.
Thanks.
Kumar

Hi
Please read the following
Like production orders the serial number are not maintained to orders. The serial numbers are created prior
to backflush (MFBF) with IQ01 or IQ04. The documented goods movement posted along with serial number
at the backflush posting. Also in case of backflush reversal system reveres the status from AVLB to ESTO.
Serial number management is effective way of inventory monitoring and tracking. It is advisable to use in
sectors like consumer electronics, automobiles, and assembly units. Apart from inventory it is also useful in
after sales customer services where warranty plays important role.
Also you can create serial number during Goods receipt of Purchase order for component parts need to have seperate
z-program for this .

Rejection and scrap during production

hi
During production process many child items get wasted and the finished product received is lesser than the planned.in system where we can reduce the child items during receiving?and also the the scrap or rejected items should go in other wharehouse.Please solve it.
Thanks

Dear Sir,
At the time of Report Completion, instead of complete , you can choose the option reject the parent item. Here you can also select different warehouse.
Please see following documentation on production process:

Discrete production process after creating sales order with raw materials

Dear all,
I need your support on a specific solution related to discrete production process.
After creating a sales order where the materials are marked as raw materials (ROH), with reference to the sales order the production order is created and the store issues the material for assembly process and is sent for assembly of materials. After assembly of the materials the inventory is added to the sales order stock as same as raw material and after PGI the billing is done for raw material only.
Please let me know the process of raw material to raw material scenario.
Thanks

Hi Seshi,
This question seems to be related to ERP rather than to SAP ME. You'd better post it to ERP-related forum. Please use these instructions to find a proper space.

Batch Traceability for Sugar as raw material during the production process

Dear Colleague ,
I need your support for a traceability issue in a customer on beverage sector
See the case below:
Batch Traceability for Sugar as raw material during the production process
In AMSB the batch traceability in some production processes is very difficult, especially in case of sugar where tanks wherein more than one batches of the same material can be mixed. For example, in a single day almost 17-20 batches of the same material can be mixed and as the result is a composition of water and sugar the normal FIFO rule strategy cannot be applied during the component consumption.
The raw material (sugar) is received in tank S5 at different points of time, and its content is transferred to tank B1 for storage purposes as well as for mix the sugar with other material such as water.
At a specific moment the S5 tank contains only a single batch, while the tank B1 contains more than one batch. Tank B1 is used in order to supply the production line and the corresponding material consumption is triggered in backflush as soon as the production activity is declared (production confirmation). Along with the material consumption the batch determination takes place and a complex algorithm is applied: at a very high level, the single batch is consumed depending on its percentage inside the mix of composition and in case the this
percentage is under a threshold level the current batch should be full used in order to avoid that it will exist for ever.
Moreover, the good movement reversal (reversal of material consumption) and its correction lead to a complete new calculation of all the batches consumed after the original movement date/time. This means that the algorithm for batch determination should be reapplied for all the consumptions subsequent to the original movement.
On the other hand it’s not possible to identify the mix of batches at the exit point of silos B1 because the total consumption of the material in the tank will never happen. As long as the tank level decreases it will be filled up from the tank used for receiving of sugar (S5).
As requirement AMSB needs to post the material consumption starting from EWM, this means that EWM should be the master system in this case and the correspondingmovements have to be transferred to ECC afterwards. This mainly because EWM should guarantee the business continuity in case the ERP system is not available.
AMSB asked if the scenario depicted has been implemented in some customer, in EWM system or in any other SAP solution.

Hi ,
At the time of consumption you can put ' * ' aestrix sign in the batch field.
You will get list of batches of that material.select ur batch and consume the quantity.

Piyush

Scan products by bar code during packing process

Hello al SAP experts,
During packing process in my company, for some products of finish goods we would like to scan them by bar code one by one ( like a point of sale in a super market) instead of scanning the material number and typing the quantity.
Like in serial mode where you scan one by one we would like to do it also for non serial products- to scan the catalog number
(or the EAN/UPC code) and the system will sum up the quantity according to the number of items scanned.
Are you familiar with such an option?
Viky Sloutsky
SAP SD Consultant

Hi
Scanning barcode at packing means, do you mean scanning the HU/carton? can you explain your requirement in little more detail?
We do have the similar requirement & its happening through RF gun. Have barcode for the HU/Carton ready, scan that which creates carton> then pack the product>scan the carton for the SSCC number which gives assurance for the right SKU, qnty & process PGI further.

Consumption during the processing time of the production order

Which adjustments must be made in the material master for the calculation of the lot size in the MRP run, that the consumption of the material during the processing time of the production order is considered for the calculation of the lot size.

Hi ,
You have to judiciously indicate the re order point in the material master( the re-order point is the sum of saftey stock and consumption during replenishment lead time).
How ever , this does not in any way influence the lot size , but only influence the no of lots i.e the procurement proposals. The lot size is determined by the lot sizing procedure selected by you , depending on various factors like agrrements with your vendor , optimum lot sizes to reduce the cost of procurment and storages etc.
You can refer to the following url for details on lot size :http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/fe/819b9f643b11d3b4e40004ac160649/frameset.htm
and for details about re order point :

Serial nos entry during production order confirmation in CO15 - User Exits

Hi all,
Is there any user exit existing for a serial nos screen pop-up during production order confirmation.
Regards,
Sravan Kumar V

Hi,
For serial numbers at the time of goods receipt, u have to activate sr. no. mgt for that particular finished product. This can be done by assigning sr. no. profile in the material master record of that material in work scheduling view. once this is done , system will automatically prompt for sr. nos at the time of goods receipt. I am not aware about any user exit.
Thanks & Regards,

Waiver process during Production order

Hi,
My client has a requirement whic is called as waiver process, whereby a part could be replaced by another alternative part during production order process, however the whole process need to be integrated with ECM and workflow for seemless communication and approval.
Has anyone come across manufacturing waiver process and can this process be designed within ECC60 or is it better to look for MES or MII tool to address the business requirement?
Appreciate any response concerning this topic.
Thanks and regards,
Bhaskar

I resolved this issue by using the process in SAP ME and ECC, using WIP processing in MES.

Control of serial numbers in productions (parts and final product serials)

Hi,
We are starting using our production module in SBO 9.0 PL11 and it is all quite messy.
We need to manufacture an item that has a serial number made of parts, some of which have serial numbers. Just imagine a car. The car will have its own serial number, but the engine, the radio and so on will have their own serial numbers. But the cables, tyres, etc do not have a serial of their own.
We set a BOM model, made of every part (with or without serial) and set every line to manual.
Then we place a PO for our parts, and then do a Goods Receipt and enter the individual items' serials.
Then, we issue a Production order for our final product made of all of our parts in the BOM. Then we release it for production.
Next, it all gets messi. If we create a receipt from production, we can issue the serial number of each of our final products.
If we create an Issue for Production, we can choose what serials to pick for production.
Big problem is that we loose all traceability. There is no way (or we can't find it) to know what are the serials of the parts that created the final product.
Not only this, issue for production looks (serial number transaction report-wise) looks like a goods issue, so just a way to decrease your parts stock. And receipt of production looks like a goods receipt. So you just now you received something for production or that you issued it to production, but there doesn't seem to be a link between them. No traceability at all.
Can anyone throw some light into this? I am sure we are doing something really wrong, but can't see what.

Hi,
1. But how do we control what serial numbers for each part we used to create the final product specific serial? (I use engine #003 and radio #376) to create product with serial #076. And we always produce in quantities greater than 1.
Please provide an sample process production with FG item and components with required serial format to check
2. This query is not returning any rows. I am inputing a final product code, with production orders, and nothing shows up.
As mentioned, the above query works for batch managed items. Once we conclude process, I can try modify above query to meet your purpose.
3. It sounds really complicated to have to open both receipt and issue to track a single manufacturing operation.
You can use relationship map option to view both issue and receipt for single production.
4. Besides that, what is the exact workflow? I don't quite understand issue and receipt, should I run both independently?
Standard work flow for production order:
1. Create bill of material
2. Create planned production order based on above BOM
3. Make sure required components are arrived.
4. Change planned to released status.
5. Issue components to production by issue production
6. Receive finished item from production through receipt from production.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarajan
