Difference between Discerete & Repetitive Manufacturing

Hi ,
Can Any one explain to me about difference between Discreet & Repetitive Manufacturing.
Regards
Goms

Dear Gomathi Nayagam,
Discrete Scenario:
1.Order Based production & Product produced (Finished product) is changed more number of times.
2.Order Based Cost calculation.
3.Varying sequence of operations - complex routing.
4.Material staging will be based on individual order.
5.Order completion & confirmation carried out for individual order or operation.
6.After MRP run Planned order's are obtained which can be converted into Production order (for E products)
Required Master Data:
1. Material Master
2.BOM
3.Work Center
4.Routing
5.Production version (not mandatory).
REM Scenario:
1.Period Based production where ceratin quantity is produced per period.
2.Period based cost collection using Product Cost Collector.
3.Steady flow through production - continous production - simple rate routing/routing.
4.Material staging is done periodically.
5.Production confirmation done periodically - Assembly backflush.
6.After MRP run Planned order's are obtained as Run Schedule quantity for Inhouse manufacured products
which can't be converted into production order's.
Required Master Data:
1. Material Master with REM profile assigned for all the Inhouse Manufactured products.
2.BOM
3.Work Center
4.Rate Routing.
5.Production version & Product Cost Collector - mandatory - for all products (Inhouse manufactured).
I hope this will give you a clear idea about 2 scenario's.

Difference between copy to Manufacturing and Transfer to Manufacturing

Hi ,
What is the difference between copy to Manufacturing and Transfer to Manufacturing in Engineering Change Orders ?
Thanks
Kiran

Hi,
Transfer to manufacturing will transfer the same item to item from eng to PROD.
Where as copy can be used to change the item from A (in Engg) to B (in Prod). So copy is more like copying the attributes/values of the engg item into a different item in PROD.
Thanks

Difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing

Hi,
Guru's
What is the difference between repetative manufacturing and discreate manufacturing in product costing.

Dear Manish,
Repetitive Manufacturing
In repetitive manufacturing, master plans are typically created on a period and quantity basis (reduction in individual lot and
order-specific processing). A quantity of one product is manufactured over a certain period. The product is processed in a constant flow and interim products are generally not stocked. In repetitive manufacturing, you usually find that the effort required for production control is significantly less than is required for single lot and order-based production control and the recording of actual data is kept simpler. Repetitive manufacturing can be used for various industries, such as the
consumer packaged goods industry, the electronic industry, packaging industry, for example.
You can use Repetitive Manufacturing purely for make-to-stock production, or in a sales order-oriented environment, such as found in the automotive industry.
Discrete Manufacturing
Discrete manufacturing is characterized by requirements that occur on an irregular basis and a workshop-oriented process.
The Discrete Manufacturing scenario can be used in different variants, production by lot size, make-to-order production and assembly processing. The variants differ mainly in the type of planning conducted before-hand and in the relation to the sales order. Production by lot size is identified by the grouping of requirements into lots during requirements planning, and by planning with existing basic data. Production by lot size is independent of a particular sales order. Make-to-order production describes the production of a material with reference to a particular sales order. The manufactured quantities are managed, in terms of stock, directly for the individual sales order. They cannot be exchanged with the stock of other sales orders. Starting from the sales order, single-item planning can be allowed as far down the bill of material (BOM) structure as you like. Assemblies and
components can also be procured for the sales order that generates the requirements, and managed in stock for this sales order. If the product is a configurable product, the system chooses a variant for the customer based on the characteristics that he or she selects. A sales order BOM can then be generated for the sales order. This BOM is used to produce the product.
Assembly processing is a form of make-to-order production, in which the production order (assembly order) is created together with the sales order. In assembly processing the components for the product have, in general, already been produced. They only need to be assembled. The advantage of assembly processing is that an availability check is carried out for the components when you create the sales order. This increases the reliability with which dates can be confirmed
considerably. Changes to the sales order are automatically also made in the production order and vice-versa.
And also you can follow the below link to know more about REPITITIVE MANUFACTURING its a pdf document from help.sap.com
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/PPREM/PPREM.pdf
One More Example
Repetive is usually a continuos flow, good example is making 5000 tv dinners you know how long it takes to make qty1 very little defects or fall out and you always have everything on hand to start the run, you may also make the same run 2-3 times per month so a cost collector is ok all cost go to top level.
Discreet, You do have falls out reworks and move into production missing materials, long lead time its essential to know what and where it is at in production, cost may vary a little but each production order will be costed independantly for review.
Best Regards
Mir

Difference between PP(discrete ) and PP-PI and repetative manufacturing

Dear all
1) What is the difference between PP(discrete ) , PP-PI and repetative manufacturing ?
2) In terms of SAP implementating how to choose out of these ?
3)What is the difference in terms of SAP for all three?

Vishwas.K
Edited by: vishwas.k on Oct 9, 2010 3:31 PM

Dear
There are lot good threads and wiki abailable for this generic topic .
These are diffrences between REM/Discreate/ and Process manufacturing.
REM:
Production is based on the planned orders.
Planning and manufacturing is based on period wise.
Normally single products being manufactured for a longer period of time.
Normally production are carried out on a single production line (repetitively).
Product costing and settlement is done through product cost collector.
Planned orders are known as Run schedule quantities. Means quantity which is being manufactured in a certain period.
Planned orders are sufficient to carry out production at shop floor area.
Master data includes production version, product cost collector and rate routing.
Materials will be issued anonymously to production lines means without reference to planned orders.
Discreate:
Production based on the production orders
Planning and manufacturing depends on production orders.
Products changed frequently.
Production is carried out on different production lines (scattered- discrete).
Product costing and settlement is done through production orders.
Planned orders are stock type later converted into production orders.
Production orders are required.
Production version and product cost collector are not mandatory.
Materials will be issued always with reference to production orders.
Master Data includes Routings and BOMs.
PROCESS:
1) Batch Oriented process manufacturing.
2) Process order based manufacturing.you copy the process described in a master recipe and adjust it to the actual production run.
3) It is primarily designed for the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries as well as the batch-oriented electronics industry.
4)The integrated planning of production, waste disposal, and transport activities within a plant.
5) Master Data includes Master Recipes and resources.
6) Process Management:In this area, you coordinate the communication between PP-PI and process control during the execution of a process order.
Best will be refer SAP help material .Appereciate if you carry out forum searh on the same .

Difference between Repetitive and Descreet manufacturig

Hi All,
Can anybody please explain me the difference between repetitive and descreet manufacturing with example. Also how does it effects routing/bom.
Thanks

Hi
Difference between discrete and repetitive manufactruring is quite simple so in discrete you usually make products witch are make to order type like air craft industry. Discrerte manufacturing is usually for orderbound production.
In repetivive manufacturing usually products are more likely make to stock type like in cosmetics or ice cream factory.
Production order based
1. Production in individual production orders
2. Product change frequently
3. Complex process sicnce the sequence of work centers is varying
4. There was no storage location for semi product, there are always put into interim storage
5. Components will always reference to order
6.There will have status prosesing for each order in each transaction
7. Order confirmation must be carry out for each production order otherwise it remain in WIP.
8. Order based cost controlling
While for repetitive manufacturing
1. Production on period based
2. Product produced unchanged over a longer period of time
3. Simplify process sicnce product produce unchanged
4. Semifinish product post into own storage location
5. componnet are stage at each production lines
6. Reduce control effort (no status procedure)
7. Period based backflush
8. Period base cost controlling
I hope this answers your question.

Quality difference between ipad manufactured in China and in Brazil

I noticed that my iPhone 5s was assembled in China, but my iPad Air was manufactured in Brazil.
Is there a difference in quality between the cases manufactured in China and in Brazil? The Chinese are better? Or cases made in Brazil are better? Or both are equal?
I know they are the same apparatus. I just would like to know if there is any difference in the quality of parts, assembly, cleaning and so on.

Of course you can. All you need is an adapter to charge it via electrical socket.

Difference between Service BOM and Manufacturing BOM

One fundamental question
What is the difference between Service BOM and Manufacturing BOM. Also what is the difference between Manufacturing BOM and Engineering BOM.
Why should a business create these 3 kinds of BOM's for their operations. cant 1 kind of BOM suffice ?

This is a business definition that your business people should be able to tell you.
Both are BoMs - it's just a question of which parts are defined under each category.
Usually, "Service" BOMs are created by service org personnel as and when required, eg at new item introduction or new option introduction.
"Manufacturing" BoMs are created by Engineering personnel and are the ones used when creating an order for a machine.
Hope that it helps.
Cheers,
TC

What is the difference between the new version of lion and the one manufactured last year.

I just bought a new iMac. I found out it is the version of lion from mid last year and not the latest version. What is the difference?Should I return it and buy the latest version?

Not really. Lion is Lion, last year, this year, it is still Lion.
Yes, but it's a different version. Very cleverly said Barney
Pete
No it is not. The newest update just adds some things to it, no new features and only fixes bugs. It is still Lion OS X 10.7.x. It is not 10.6 or 10.8.
It is just a "Point" release and not a New Operating system. All Macbook Pros that could run Lion from last year can run the newest Lion Point release from this year.
Oh and by the way Barney was talking about Mountain Lion, 10.8. Which is a NEW OS X operating system and has nothing to do with Lion 10.7.x. And it is not out yet.
lol. Don't bust a blood vein. The comment was made in jest, but if you want to be serious, then OK 10.7 and 10.7.1 were different than 10.7.2 and 10.7.3. Why? Well one little thing called 'iCloud' for a start.

Cheer Up. Life can't be that bad.

Differences between rate routing and reference rate routings?

Hello PP members:
I would like to differences between rate routing and reference rate routings
Thanks for your time,
Thanks Again,
Suren R

Hi Mr.Suren,
As explained by other friends Routing is used in Discrete manufacturing and Rate routing is used for REM-Repetitive manufacturing.
In addional to these types SAP has given 2 more types
1.Reference operation set -Used in Discrete manufacturing.
2.Reference rate routing - Used in REM.
If similar rate routing is been used for producing many materials,then instead of entering(these steps) in rate routing of each material you create a refrence rate routing and you enter the work centres used and the other details.After saving you get a group counter number showing reference rate routing is saved with group XXXXXXXXX.
When you are creating rate routing for a material say A ,after giving the name and plant details in the top you will be able to see an icon "copy from" and you can select the radio button for reference rate routing and give the group counter number. or else without giving it here you have got an option to select the reference rate routing after entering into the operation screen also.
In that particular page in operation overview screen,there will be an icon copy,there you can click that icon and you can give the reference rate routing group counter number and very easily you can create rate routing for N number of material.
Likewise you can use reference operation set while creating routing for a material in Discrete manufacturing.This basically reduces the time in creating routing or rate routing for materials in Discrete & REM respectively
CA01,CA02,CA03-Create,Change,display (routing) respectively.
CA11,CA12,CA13-Create,Change,Display reference operation set Respectively.
CA21,CA22,CA23-Create,Change,Display rate routing respectively.
CA31,CA32,CA33-create,change,display reference rate routing resp.
I hope this will help you.
If useful reward your points.
Thanks & regards
Karthik.

Difference between production version and routing

hello pp experts,
                        why do we create production version, and what's the difference between production version and routing?

Dear sarfaraz lodhi ,
Production version is a combination of BOM & Routing in the case of Discrete Manufacturing and it's a
combination of BOM & Rotuing/Rate Routing in the case of Repetitive Manufacturing.
Created either through MM02 by selecting MRP4 view or else through C223
A production version determines the various production techniques that can be used to produce a material.
It defines the following information:
·        Alternative BOM for a BOM explosion
·        Task list type, task list group, and group counter for assignment to task lists
·        Lot-size restrictions and period of validity
A material can have one or more production versions.
Routing contains the set of operation that's required for producing a product either a HALB - Semi-
Finished product or else a FERT - Finished Product.
The T code for creating Routing is CA01.

Difference between VAT AND EXCISE DUTIES

HI ginius
can any body give the difference between vat and excise duties

VAT is value added tax. a tax levied by the government at the time of sales earlier it was LST ( local sales tax ) this is livied by the state goverments.
ok...example .like if colgae is manufacturing toothpaste and yu are buying it ... so at the time of buying ap[art from the price of material you are payin the vat also.
but wher as excise duty is concerend it is levied by the central excise departments
it is lived on colgate company after it manufactured the product even before selling the toothpaste colgate should pay excise to central excise dept on toothpaste becasue it manufactured it in india ( ofcourse it again collects frm the customer by hiking price )
and excise is calulate don advolrem basis whcih is approx 16% on base price.

What'z the difference between the Commercial Invoices and

What'z the difference between the Commercial Invoices and
Invoices/Excise Invoices? Also I understand that we can combine 2~3
invoices and can create one commercial invoice? If it is possible, how
to create the same?
cheers
shalsa007....

Hello,
A commercial invoice is a bill for the goods from the seller to the buyer. Commercial invoices are utilized by customs officials to determine the value of the goods in order to assess customs duties and taxes.
In general there is no standard form for a commercial invoice although they tend to contain many of the following features:
     seller's contact information
     buyer's contact information
     consignee's contact information (if it is different from the buyers)
     invoice date
     a unique invoice number
     sales terms (usually in incoterm format)
     payment terms
     currency of sale
     full quantities and description of merchandise (Generally this includes unit price and total price. Product descriptions should be consistent with the buyer's purchase order. Including the Harmonized System commodity codes can be helpful, especially in countries that are WTO members.)
Excise invoice Original for Buyer copy, whether prices are inclusive or exclusive of excise duty.
The invoice in which the Excise duties are included.
As per Indian tax system, Excise duty (16%) is payable by each manufacturing unit on the value of manufactured goods / on the value added. The manufacturing plant is supposed to submit an excise duty report on fortnightly / monthly basis. Various registers (RG1, RG23A, RG23C, PLA) are maintained for that purpose, which record all the transactions including movement of goods, cenvat credit available and cash balance available.
In SAP, we use transaction j1id for configuration and j1iin, j2i7, j1i5, j2i5, j2i6, j1ip for creating, extracting and printing excise invoice.

Difference between invoice and debit note

Hi,
what is the difference between invoice and a debit note.
If I underinvoice a customer, should I raise a additional invoice for the difference or shud i raise a debit note. if i need to raise debit note, then why not invoice or if i need to raise an invoice, then why not a debit note
regards
sachin

Debit note is generally used to issue an invoice for already sold goods w/o physical goods movement involved.
If raw material prices increases which are utilized in production of Finished goods. then the business will submit the relevant documents as proof at customer.
Once Customer is accepted, then price increase effective date will be finalized , Then business issues debit note request for the required material & its converted into debit note. ( all this will be done, based on agreement with the Customer). Generally this scenario is most widely used in Manufacturing / Automobile industry.
where as, If invoice is created with less price than actual, you dont need to create debit note, instead you can either Cancel this invoice or create Invoice Correction request.
hope it adds info

Difference between Additional Excise duty and Additional Duty on imports

Dear All,
I want to know the difference between additional excise duty on domestic procurement and additional duty on imported material, mainly in context of the credit availing. How much credit we can avail if we procure a capital material (domestic and imported).
Regards,
Ashish

Dear,
Excise duty is a duty on production or manufacture of goods, It is levied on manufacture of goods and the liability to pay excise duty arises immediately on manufacture or production of goods.
Additional duty is levied as per custom tarff act and is equal to excise duty levied on a LIKE product manufactured or produced in India.
Sometimes, foreign sellers abroad may export to India goods at below the amounts charged by them in their domestic markets in order to capture Indian markets to the detriment of Indian Industry.

Difference between cost of sales & sales revenue

What is the difference between cost of sales & sales revenue ?
Does it get stored in SD cubes or GL cubes ?
Regards

Sales Revenue is the total sales amount. Cost of Sales, also referred to as Cost of Goods Sol, are the costs associated with building product (e.g. raw materials, labour, etc in the case of a manufacturer).
These figures are going to be in the General Ledger, or some companies do this in Profit Center Accounting (PCA).
