Difference Between Production Industry & Process Industry
Hi Freinds,
Hi have a query. What is the major difference between Production Industry & Process Industry?
I will give you a following example. Please carefully read it.
Take a example of TATA Motors. We all know it produces automobiles. So we will consider it as a Production Industry. But at the same time it uses the Paint to paint the vehicles is produced by it only. So can we call it as a Process Industry? If yes please explain it.
I will award deserving points accordingly for every reply.
Thanks & Regards
Saeed Arifproduction:- conversion / processing the raw materials to finished products.
differen type of industry:
job type of industry:- this is of mainly MAKE TO ORDER TYPE , suiting the particular customer requirments , after getting the order only you start doing the production
eg:- Turbine mfg by BHEL, Aircrafts and ship buildings etc.
so here your planning and costs change one order.
Repetative mfg or Batch tpe production: here the products wll be made in batches as lots eg 2000no or 5000nos qty as batches ,
here the planning and costing etc will differ from one batches to another.
eg: Automobile , apperal industry. this can be produced by strategies MAKE TO STOCK or by MAKE TO ORDER,
PROCESS INDUSTRY OR CONTINOUS TYPE OF PRODUCTIONS:
in this type of industry the Process remains same (constant) and procucts may with slight variation in composition, in this type of industy almost every thing is mechanised . this type of indstry will have LINE LAY OUT/PRODUCT LAYOUT
ie at one entry all the materials go in one line and processed and at the end of the line you will be getting finished products. the complete line will be controlled by automated sensors by using sopostigated sensors. the only problem here is that in LINE if one macine /station is have break down the complete production will comes to halt as one machine/station output is going to be input for oher staion/machine.
eg: cement, paints , food and beverages etc.
you can seggregate indstry type by materials or by the type of layout(ie mfg line)
so now coming to your doubt : TATA - AUTOMOBILES following hybrid type of laty out ie mfg of automobiles is functional layout , where there is flexibilty of planning , from paint sections on wards it follows line layout ..
so you have to call it is as product industry , intern which have line layout for cetain operations , which pertains to process industry... -
Difference between business process, sales process and order process
what is the difference between business process, sales process and order process?
Dear Gopala,
business process is a general definition of the process which you have:
for example, you get an order, you have no goods, but you can produce them, you start an assambly processing, the production order will be created, then the goods will be prepatred, then the delivery will be created, the goods issue booked then your customer gets thwe goods and send the delivery confirmation, you create an invoice etc.etc.
sales process is a part of a business process.
Sales process shows how you sell the goods, there are different sales document categories to do this: sales orders, contracts, scheduling agreements etc.
order process is only one of possibilities of the sales process.
Order process is used if you get really a one-time (or at lease not on a regular basis many times) the simple orders where your customer says what goods he would like to receive and when. Then you create a sales order (in dialog transaction VA01) and can create a delivery. There are different types of sales orders in the standard. The customizing of sales order types is available under the transaction VOV8.
I hope, this info help you a little bit further to understand SD design.
Kind regards,

SAP PP-difference between External processing & Sub-contracting
Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
What is the difference between External processing & Sub-contracting w,r,t PP moduleHI
Operations that are performed by a third party are called external processing operations
The detailed data you can enter in external processing operations can be divided into two basic groups:
External processing data
Procurement option data
External processing data contains information from the supplier on net price and planned delivery time. The procurement option data contains vendor account and purchasing information, such as the purchasing info record, purchasing group and organization.
In subcontracting, the vendor is provided with materials (components), which he uses to produce the finished product.
This section describes how to procure materials using a subcontract order. It describes how subcontract orders are processed in Purchasing, Inventory Management, and Invoice Verification.
In subcontract order processing, the vendor receives materials (components) with which it produces the end product. The following are involved:
You order the end product using a subcontract order. The components that the vendor needs to manufacture the end product are specified in the purchase order.
In Inventory Management, the components are posted to the stock of material provided to vendor. The components are then supplied to the vendor.
The vendor performs its service and delivers the ordered material (the end product). The consumption of the components is posted.
If, after the goods receipt has been posted, the vendor informs you that a larger or smaller quantity of the components was actually consumed than planned in the purchase order, you must make an adjustment.
The vendor charges for his or her service. The invoice is posted in Invoice Verification.
The quantities of the components to be provided to the vendor are entered into the stock of material to be provided to vendor. This stock has the following features:
It is managed as part of your total valuated stock, and is available for MRP.
It is only managed at plant level, since it is not stored at your own company but on the vendor's site.
Two stock types are possible:
unrestricted-use stock
quality inspection stock
Stock can be transferred between the two stock types. Withdrawals can only be posted from unrestricted stock, however.
You can take a physical inventory of the stock of material to be provided to vendor

Difference between Business Process and Workflow
Hi all,
What is the difference between Business Process and Workflow? i have googled it and I don't really understand that complicated definition? Is there any examples to illustrate the difference between the both?Hi,
I will try to put here , my perspective of this. If somebody knows better, they can update further on this.
Business process is purely on the perspective of the users. It may or maynot have anything to do with the system. When a draw a business flow diagram, we dont take care of how each and every process is handled in the system. The best illustration is an example of authorisation.
Let me say that I create a Purchase requisition. Once it is released a PO will be created by procurement managerD
This is a business process. However if we look at the system perspective, it can be like this.
1. Create a PR.
2. Check the value of the PR
3. If value <$100,an email needs to be send to person A, if it is $100 to 300$, an email should be send to person B and if >$300, an email should be send to B and C.
4.Once it is released, an email shoudl be send to D for creating a PO on this PR.
Here not only the process, but also how the work is delegated across various entities of the process is mentioned.
There are softwards like VISIO which actually take care of the business process in the perspective of the entities involved in the process. A workflow is a moredetailed version of business process with the roles of entities clearly defined and hence configured well in the system.
The concept is workflow is mostly used in the processes of authorisations, business activity monitoring(BAM), etc.
Hope I make it little clear to you.
You can reward if my response is of some help to you -
Difference between Integration Process and Monitoring Process
Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Integration Process and Monitoring Process available in PI7.1?
SAP says that Monitoring process is a special kind of integration process that receives the event messages.
My doubt is even integration process can receive the event messages.
Why these two different type of entities are created for the same purpose?
And what is the technical difference between the two in terms of PI perspective?
Regards,
Sami.My question is now answered.
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70a25d3a-e4fa-2a10-43b5-b4169ba3eb17]
On page 17 of this pdf following sentence is mentioned :-
From technical perspective, there is no difference between monitoring process and integration process.
Though logically those are two deifferent things.
Monitoring porcesses are used to receive only event messages that is comprises of event data only.
Like Purchase order creation is a event and its event message will have the event data like Order Id, Created on, Created by, Quantity etc., instead of whole purchase order.
Where as Integration Process is a way to provide solution in some specific circummtances like where we have to automate our process or where we need something in between for the course of communication.
Guys thanks for your precious time.

Sami. -
Difference between Key Process Indicator or Key Performance Indicator
Hi Experts,
Can any body give me the difference between
Key Process Indicator or Key Performance Indicator
Like description , Scenorio, difference, where it will be used in companies, What will be measured by using these things.
I have to interact with my client for gathering the requirements on basis of these KPI's . Please guid me how to finish this task successfully.
Regards
VijayHello Vijay,
Regarding Key Peerformance indicator all experts have already explain well...
I would like to focus on Key Process Indicator: It is always process specific. The main KPI (Key performance indicator is breaked into smaller componenets based on Time, Material used, Manpower used etc)
So for key process indicators we can have reports like Process yield by operation, Process yield by manpower spend etc..
Also the cost of non confirmance is calculated based on the Key Process indicator as it comes from small small reports and finally come up as a Big cost for Non confirmance.
During the process audit the major focus is always on key processes. Using leam manufacturing functions these process are audited and are subjected to change if the indicators are on lower side..
Key Performance Indicators give us a broder view on buisness and mainly useful for knowing in which direction the bussiness is going...
Hope it will be helpful.

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 Consolidation Process and Calculation process
Hello everybody,
I need to understand what's the difference between the two process : consolidation && Calculation and why we apply consolidation only to the entity dimension?
Thanks in advance.this is a basic concept.
calculation is to calculate all the calculated data for a particular child entity. you right click on an entity and choose "calculate" and it performs calcs on that entity only. when the data is calculated, then it is ready to be consolidated to the parent entities. at this point your calculations have not changed the data in the parent entity, merely done the ground work so that the child entity has executed the Sub Calculate() rules and contains the correct adjusted results (numbers) based on the combination of the source input data, the journals, and the applied rules. the child entity calculation status changes to "OK" to show it is complete, and the parent entities calculation status will change to "CN" indicating a consolidation is required (the parent entity is said to be "impacted" by the change in the data to the child).
then you right click on a parent entity and choose "consolidate" and it consolidates all the data from all the children of that parent to come up with the consolidated results of that parent entity. so the consolidation includes the translation, elimination, parent-level journals and calculation of the final contribution to the parent entity or whatever is written in the Sub Consolidate() rules if using custom rules. then the total of all the contributions is what is written to the data input level of the parent entity (<Entity Currency> value member). when the consolidation process has finished, the parent calculation status changes from "CN" to "OK".
then you repeat the process further up the tree until you reach the top level parent entity.
if you choose "consolidate" on a top level entity where the children have not yet been calculated, the children will be calculated first automatically, before the consolidation can start. if you add "write to file" rules to the rules file, to log the consolidation process to a file, you will begin to understand the order of operations. HFM merely provides both "calculate" and "consolidate" choices in the user interface, as a convenience to separate the two operations in those cases where only one or the other is desired to be performed. since the consolidation cannot proceed until the calculation is completed, a consolidate of a parent that contains not-yet-calculated child entities will launch a calculate of those child entities automatically first. if you have a parent that has many children, it is sometimes beneficial to do the calculate separately so you can do small portions of the entity at a time, and then only when all the calculates are complete, to go ahead and launch the consolidation of the parent.
an explanation of what happens in the consolidation process step by step, is provided in the Oracle HFM documentation. you should also consider to attend the Oracle University courses ("Create and Manage Applications" and the "Create Rules" courses, before you fully understand the concepts of HFM and can market yourself to potential clients as a consultant or competent user.
also there is at least one book available on the subject of HFM.
please mark the thread as answered/helpful if you can understand the above explanation. -
Difference between Monitoring Process and Integration Process
What is the difference between the Monitoring Process object for BAM and Integration Process object? Both seem to have exactly the same design environment in the Enterprise Services Builder.
Is it so that Monitoring Process alarms only appear in the UWL of the specified user?
Also, suppose I am wanting to create a receive step to wait for the arrival of a message instead of an event (say I want to check a specific message arrives before a certain time, correlating several fields of the message, which is something I cannot do I believe with alert monitoring). Am I able to do this? I cannot see a reason why not, but I'd like confirmation.
BR,
Tony.Hi,
Thanks for the link! I read through the replies, but it still leaves a couple of basic questions unsolved:
1) Why did SAP discriminate these two types of PI objects at design time - the Monitoring Process and the Integration Process?
2) new capabilities of PI 7.1 are touted as:
Event provisioning and consumption for BAM:
- Local container
- Subscription and handling of business process events
- Milestone Monitoring
So can I only employ event provisioning, subscription of Business process Events and Milestome monioring with a Monitoring process, or can I do that with an Integration Process as well?

Difference between Approval process signature strategy and Workflow
Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to know the difference between the approval process and Business workflow. How both of them useful in PLM prospective ??
Thanks,
RajeshHi,
Approval or digital signature process in PLM involves creating authorization groups, signature strategies and assigning individual signatures to signature strategy groups.For example, to create digital signature for Engineering Manager, you create authorization group say ENGMGR and define it as individual signature and assign it to a signature strategy group.
Business workflow is used to automate a business process.For example,it can be used in PLM-DMS for document review process.This can be triggered by status change(has to be defined in customizing) in document.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Difference between product costing and cost collector
Hello experts:
Can anybody tell me wich is the difference between the product costing calculation and the preliminary cost estimate for cost collector?
Thanks
LauraHi,
Product cost collector is a cost object which collects actual cost which are incurred in the production of materials periodically. This is normally used in product product cost by period. Whereas, product cost calculation is wider scope.

Difference between Production Supply Area and a Storage Location
Hello Experts,
Basic question but wanted to get more clarity on the concept as i never worked on the PSA
Can someone tell me the exact difference between PSA and a SL. I understand PSA is a Kanban, WM and SL is an IM concept. Can a work center have a storage location assigned or just a PSA? Can a GI be done from PSA or just from a storage location.Hello
The production supply area is a master data used by WM, while the storage location is used by MM-IM.
Check this link for details:
Production Supply Area - Warehouse Management System (WMS) - SAP Library
The goods issue is done with reference to the storage location
It is possible to assigne a storage location to a production supply area and assign the production supply area to the work center.

Difference between Productive edition and Developer edition
Hi,
what is the difference between SAP NW CE 7.1 installed in Developer edition and Productive Edition.
1)If we are planning for a three system landscape like SAP ERP instances with dev-qas and prd which edition
should we be going ahead with ?
2) In productive edition, can't we install sap nw developer studio like we can do in developer edition.
3) In a 3 tier landscape can we have a mix of editions ie DEV with developer edition and PRD in production edition..
Please reply.
Regards,
SandeepHi,
The difference is mainly that the productive edition is compliant to the usual SAP system layout(sapmnt/saploc shares, users, groups, etc.) while in the development edition these are skipped. From the functional perspective they should be identical.
In addition I AFAIK 32 bit windows is generally not supported for production (because of memory management issues) while 64-bit is not supported for development (IDE).
On your questions:
1) I guess development for developers, production for the rest.
2) I don't think the dev studio is supported on 64-bit.
3) No problem here. However if you're about to need system copy (for example to clone productive system data into dev/qa environment) it will not work for development edition. Have this in mind when you plan your landscape.
Hope this helps !
Best regards, dido
