Difference between process order and Production order

Hi Experts,
Can any buddy tell me the difference between process order and production order. Why process order is used for process industries. Why do we use recipe for it and routing for production order ?
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit
There is a difference between production order and process order.
Supposing a 10,000 lit tank is being manufactured in discrete manufacturing. You have to follow the necessary routing steps and can make by physically seeing its development stage by stage. For this type production you can have a production order.
In case of process of order if some chemical in a reactor is loaded with intial temp of 30 C and need to be heated to 80 C then there is phase change. Hence we use Heating as an operation and the change of temp is phase. For such type of process we process order.
Hope this is useful. Pl reward.

Link between Purchase Order and Production Order

Hi,
Could some one tell me how i could get a relation ship between Purchase order and Production Order after a Good receipt is done. Coz after a GR is done I am not able to see the production order for a particular material in MD04 transaction.
Thanks,
Arul.

Hi Arul ,
i think u may not get the LINK b/w Production Order and PO , Bcos--->
check the process --->
RUN MRP , here System will generate the Production Plan and PRs( based on the avail.of that Raw Material).So PO will be generated by PRs.So I think there is no link b/w Production and Purchase .
this is based on the my system settings and my knowledge.

Hi
In PP, you can see Production Planning and Production Planning -Process Industry
Production order is for manufacturing industry
Process order is for process industries where input raw material is processed to arrive at end product.Process order keeps shop floor person aware of processing status.If your client's business have many processes than manufacturing you might come across more processing orders

hi,
both are similar but varies with industries.
Process order- used in chemical industries- involves process like heating, melting etc.
Production order- used in car industries- assembling, drilling process

Open planned orders and production orders

Hi friends,
I have one issue with my client.
Client has 1 lac materials in sap .Now he wants extract all materials open planned orders and open production orders with quantity and dates.
Please tell me the process how i can extract the data from sap for above requirement.
Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
For open planned order and production order select the respective box.
But one suggestion. Try to convince client that this report will take a lot of time as you have mentioned 1 lac materials are there.
You can exclude system status and get it with below screen as mentioned already.
But my suggestion is to run the report at night when the system load is very less. Please create a background job one for planned order and another for production order. Then run it in midnight as per the customer requirement in background. You can automate the process by sending automatic mail to customer. Please refer the below link to trigger mail.
Mail Trigger with TEXT file via JOB run

How BOM and routing is selected for Planned order and Production order?

Hi,
Can any1 plz tell me how BOM and routing is selected for a planned order and production order. ?

Hello Mathisuthan,
BOM and Routing selection for the planned order and production order through production version, If u have more than one BOM and more than one Routing then u can maintain this information as Production Version in the system.
Production version you maintained
MM01/MM02 -- MRP4--- Production version
Or you can create Production Versions in Mass also with Transaction Code "C223"
In the case no production version maintained/created for the material, then system by default will pick the first BOM and routing.
I hope this information helpful to you.
Regards
Umesh Mali

Difference between Plannnig Horizon and Production Horizon

Hai Can somebody explain me the difference between "Planning Horizon and Production Horizon"?
Here is the text that led me to this question:
"If the Production Horizon of SNP is smaller than PP/DS horizon, the planning horizons of SNP and PP/Ds overlap with each other." In this horizon, SNP determines the receipts with most cost effective sources of supply and lot sizes and PP/DS receipts generated by SNP in more detail.

check the following entries in Product master
The SNP production horizon is maintained on the SNP 2 tab page in the product master (transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1).
It also appears in the PPDS tab page along with PPDS horizon
The PPDS Planning horizon and PPDS Production horizon are the same. PPDs only plans inside this Horizon.
What is outside the SNP production Horiozon lies in the SNP planning horizon. Actually thought the name is a bit misleading - SNP does not plan anything inside the production horizon.
If you do not enter a value or you enter the duration 0 for the PP/DS horizon, the system automatically uses the SNP production horizon as the PP/DS horizon during planning. Therefore, the PP/DS horizon is exactly the same length as the SNP production horizon and this means that the SNP and PP/DS planning periods follow on from each other seamlessly and without overlapping.
If the SNP production horizon is smaller than the PP/DS horizon, the planning horizons of SNP and PP/DS overlap. SNP and PP/DS can both use this overlapping period for planning.
A gap between the end of the PP/DS horizon and the start of the SNP planning period is a time segment that is neither planned by PP/DS nor SNP. This can lead to inconsistencies.
So think of two lines - one with its right side shaded(PPDS) and the other with its left side(SNP) shaded. Depending on where you place these lines the shaded sections get planned. how you get the two regions to mesh will ensure the effectivity of your plan
you can also get a better understanding looking at the product view screen and changing the product master values for the horizons and running heuristics

Price difference between the requisition and the order

Hi All,
There is new functionality in ERP6 that checks the difference in price price between the requisition and the order. The configuration is under Purchase Requisition -> Tolerance Limits -> Define Tolerance Keys. This is very useful functionality when the requistion item is approved at an estimated price, but a purchasing group needs to change the $ value it will block the Purchase Order.
I have this configuration menu available in SPRO in one of my systems (IDES), however on a newly installed ERP6 system we are missing this menu path in SPRO.
Does anyone know why this menu path in SPRO is missing on some systems...

Thanks Henry,
I've done some digging and the tables that store these config settings are part of US Federal Governement addons.
Looks like all the (non government) sites that need it aren't able to have it. Great shame really as this would be very useful to communicate with the requestor whena price difference occurs.

Difference between service request and service order

hi all,
What is the differnce between service request and service order? when to use what?
Thanks
Raghav

Service Order -> "You use service orders to record the details of a one-off service agreed upon by a service provider and a service recipient. Service orders contain all the information needed to plan, execute, and bill for a service."
Service Request -> "You use service request management to reliably submit, dispatch, approve, monitor, and fulfill requests for service by your customers. Service requests can be used internally by companies where a department delivers services, for example, in shared service center scenarios, as well as in external customer-facing scenarios.
Service requests can be logged through a service desk, directly by the service personnel, or by the users themselves into the system and then, if necessary, can be dispatched to the appropriate personnel for service delivery."
