Process Mfg and Discrete Mfg

Hi,
I want to know Wat is the basic difference between Process mfg and Discrete Mfg. ?
thanks in advance

hi namitha,
in both case prodcution is carried out as per production quantity
process industry has master data as follows
1. material master
2. bill of material
3. resource
4. master recipe
there is one more functionality in SAP PP PI is Process instruction sheet,
transaction data
1process order
and for descrite manufacturing
master data is as follows
1. material master
2. bill of material
3. work center
4. routing
transaction data
1 production order

What is diff between OPM modules, MFG Modules, discrete mfg modules, regular supply c

What is diff between OPM modules, MFG Modules, discrete mfg modules, regular supply chain modules.
As a techi guy I have worked on OM but not able to answer the difference between
please help

Process and Discrete industries have some fundamental differences in their product development, materials, production procesess and planning procedures. Process industries need to deal with Variable Ingredients, By & Co-products, UOM are that are Material Specific. Multiple Recipes and Formulas are used to make a single product due to seasonality or plant equipment variations. Process industries need Lot, Grades, Potency, Shelf-life.
Manufacturing is different too...think of industries where materials are blended together like paints, or food products, beverages. Also unique is decomposition...breaking something apart, like a chicken into its components: legs, thighs, breasts etc and be able to track the costs.
The Oracle Process Manufacturing suite is capable of supporting all of these industry requirements.

Process loss in Discrete mfg.

Hi experts,
My Input material (raw material) for a product is 40g and the out put (Finished product) weight is 20g. where we will show the material loss in discrete mfg. MTO Or MTS manufacturing scenario.

Hi,
There are two parts in scrap posting:
1) Inventory
2) Costing
If there is no physical scrap generation or no inventory recording of scrap is required as well as there is no cost credit of scrap material is involved then you can simply maintain BOM data as 4 kg of SFG for 2 kg of FG. So, if backflush is activated then during confirmation of 2 kg FG as yield system will issue 4 kg of SFG.
If inventory of scrap material needs to be recorded or cost credit of scrap material to FG production is required then you need to:
Step 1) Apart from SFG maintain material master data for scrap material (not sure backflush require or not)
Step 2) Along with SFG component maintain scrap material as component for FG BOM but with -ve quantity (i.e. - 2 kg of scrap material for 2 kg of FG)
As scrap material is maintained as component in FG BOM, system will add one row for scrap material receipt in Goods Movement list during confirmation. And system will also credit cost of scrap material to production/process order (debit SFG component cost).
Try this and if require get back with your query.
Bye for now,

What is Discrete Mfg and MTO,MTS

Hi Gurus,
Can any one tell What is discrete mfg. And what is MTO and MTS in Discrete Mfg.
Thanks
Kevin

Discrete Manufacturing pertains to industry which frequently switches the manufactured products for eg: Speciality Electrical products, Heavy engineering products(Pressure vessels, Fermentors etc), Computer assembly etc. So every product you make in discrete manufacturing industry will have different components, work centers, routings etc. This is in contrast to repetitive / process industry where the product configuration and process remain fairly constant over a period of time.
MTO (Make to Order):
In make-to-order production (strategy 20), every sales order is planned individually and managed in its own segment in the MRP list or the current stock/requirements list.
The system does not perform a net requirements calculation between individual sales orders or with the anonymous warehouse stock.
The lot-for-lot order quantity is used as the default setting for the lot-sizing procedure, regardless of the entry you have made in the material master record. You define the lot-sizing procedure for make-to-order production in Customizing for MRP in the workstep "Checking the lot-sizing procedure" in the field "Lot-size calculation for MTO production". Depending on the setting of the lot-size indicator in the material master record, you can define a different lot size for make-to-order production from the one used in make-to-stock production.
MTO (Make to Stock):
The demand program is defined without reference to sales orders.
Sales orders are not relevant to MRP, but can be displayed for information purposes. You make this setting in the "No MRP" field in Customizing for the appropriate requirements class (workstep, "Defining Requirements Classes" in Customizing for SD).
Sales orders are covered by warehouse stock. In Sales and Distribution, you can carry out the availability check according to ATP logic. Material withdrawals for a sales order reduce this sales order's quantity.
The consumption of the demand program (that is of the planned independent requirements) is carried out at goods issue (the indicator "PIR reduction" in Customizing of the requirements class 30 must be set if you want to reduce the demand program when delivering to a sales order). The oldest planned independent requirement is reduced first according to the FIFO (first-in-first-out) principle using the requirement date. Future planned independent requirements are also reduced by goods issues, if allowed by the consumption mode and the forward consumption period.

In-process inspection in repetitive mfg- Inspection type - 13

Hi there,
Can any one please tell me what is the differrence between the inspection type -03 & 13.
As per my understanding the only diff is that 03 is used in discrete mfg & 13 in repetitive mfg...
what is the other differrence ........??
Regrads
Kaushik

Hello Kaushik,
actually you have already found out that 03 is for descrete and 13 for repetive manufacturing. What is the difference?
03 Descrete Manufacturing : Limited production numbers and can be assigned to a customer order. Example: A computer built with various extras (built to order).
Accordingly inspection plans and inspection points assigned can be configured rather freely.
13 Repetitive Manufacturing: Production lines produce the same product in an unlimited number over a longer period of time. Example: Screws M8 x 40 mm (Mass production). In this case inspection plans need a relation to either time, numbers etc.
I hope that this information answers your question.

One common plant to mfg and depot activity

Hi,
We have one plant which is currecntly configured from the mfg. point of view we are already doing mfg activity in this plant now we want to open new plant for the depot activity but as there is also one setting at series group level insted of new plant this can be done under one plant by creating two different series group, so is there any link to use that fucntionality, our requireemment is some of the material is common in both mfg. and depot plant some time we want to sale the materil thorugh ,fg or some time through depot so if we have purchase materil in mfg. plant thta need to be sale thorugh depot palnt for this first we need to do STO as the excie entry need to eb pass from RG23A part2 to RD23D so what is the best option or best practice for thsi by using two different seris group by keeping the plant common or by creating two different plant for both activity.
regards,
zafar

HI,
this would require separate plants being created. One Excise group can be shared between two plants. But if ECC no is different then you need to create two plants.

what is the basic difference between repetitive and discrete manufacturing?

Hi,
Discrete Manufacturing:
1.Oredr related production
2.Steadily changing product
3.differing sequence of different work centers
4.complex routing
5.Interim storage for semi finished products
6.Material staging order based ( reservation, picking)
7.Back flushing per order
8.cost monitoring order based
Production order
Repetitive Manufacturing:
1.Quantity and period based Production
2. same/ similar products are produced over a long period of time
3.line based continuous flow
4.simple routing
5. No interim storage for semi finished products
6. material staging period based
7. back flushing period and qty based
8.cost monitoring period based Product cost collector
9. Planned order ( run schedule qty)

What is the different between Oracle Process Manuf and Oracle Discrete Manufatur in oracle?

Dear What is the different between Oracle Process Manufacturing and Oracle Descret Manufacturing in Oracle?

Hi Elad,
Depending on the requirement and the availability we go with implementing a particular database.
For xi point of view there is no difference between oracle and SQL database. However you need to intall the drivers of SQL.
Even there is no difference in the communication channel configuration.

Process Manufacturing Vs Discrete Manufacturing

Dear All,
I am new to Oracle Applications, it will be very helpful if anyone can guide me on what are the conditions need to be looked at when selecting one of the above two manufacturing with relation to an Automotive spare parts manufacturing company or can i maintain both the process?.
Regards
Naresh

Dear Pavan,
Thanx for responding to my query.
i am completely knew to oracle apps, so my question may be a stupid questio, lets say i have assembly line as well as painting line as in any manufracturing unit, can i implement discrete for assembly line and process for painting line?
Second question : What advantage i would get if i go for discrete mfg for batch products and what would be the bottelnecks if i opt for process? and viceversa
Once again thanks for responding.

Inventory Synchronization OPM and Discrete INV

Hi, Fellows
I guess someone could help me is some issue. I using OPM 11.5.4 and when create a new item in OPM, that item is not capable to be retrieved from the Item Master form in INV Module.
This is a strange behavior, cause the item is shown in LOV of Item Search. I select the Item, but it a message of Query retrieve no search appears
�Could someone help me in this issue? I look at metalink but no information is provided about Item synchronization
Thanks is advance

Pieter,
I have been implementing Financials, OPM / Order Managment and some CRM for a Snackfoods company.
I don't know of any documents that describe what you require but I can describe Inventory in OPM/Discrete as follows:
As I am not sure of you experience with OPM and Discrete Inventory I will explain a few points (all relevant to 11.5.7 OPM Famliy Pack H)
Inventory Orgs in Discrete are equivalent to Warehouses in OPM. If an item needs to be received into the same inventory Org and that Org is process enabled the item must be defined in OPM. All items defined in OPM are Syncronised to Discrete Process enabled inventory org as long as they are select in the Organisations screen.
Formula's = OPM Items
Production = OPM Items
Quality = OPM Items
Purchasing / Receiving = Discrete Items
Order Management = Discrete Items
Manufacturing Accounting Controller = OPM Items
Move Orders = OPM Items
In direct answer to you question
Production-formula = OPM Items
Non-production-formula = OPM Items
Stores = Discrete Item (Initially created in OPM)
Non-production non-formula = Discrete Item (Initially created in OPM. Possibly set to Non Inventory).
All these answers assume that these items will need to reside in the same warehouse (Inventory Org). If items reside in a separate warehouse and none of the transaction listed with OPM against them are required these items could be placed in a Discrete Inventory Org that is not process enabled.
Hope this is of assistance.

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.

OPM and Discrete Inv. - Inventory Transactions

Hi,
Implementation: OPM, OraFin, and some CRM (11i.7) modules for a beverage company.
Where can we find a document or white paper to explain which inventory module (OPM / Discrete) is used for which item type (production-formula, non-production-formula, stores, non-production non-formula, etc.).

Process Chain and CPS

Hello all,
We are currently having a problem with submitting process chains. When the chain runs it does not display any of steps in the process chain and where they are running from the job we submit (RSI_START_BW_CHAIN) So what we see is that the PC has been submited and completes in say 17seconds...however everything is still running on the system...for example our CIF PC runs for 3hrs but alls we are able to see is that the job executed from CPS with no problem. I've been digging around trying to find clear documenation about PC and CPS with little luck. Am I approaching the job submission incorrectly? We are on 7.0.3.

Hello,
You should be using the RSI_RUN_BW_CHAIN job to start process chains. Maybe you can try that first. For the rest things should be straight forward. Depending on the BW backend systems you might encounter some issues, with BW 7 the synchronization has changed and you would be better of using one of the latest 7.0.4 versions (SP6 has just been released).

Process Chain and e-mail configuration

We have configured a process chain e-mail message recipient by keying in the full recipient e-mail address in the message screen. This works successfully.
However, we would prefer to use the SAP User ID in the process chain message configuration. (The sap User Id would contain the external e-mail id)
Why: Because we do not want to have to reconfigure the process chain every time a user or an e-mail changes. We would like to use a generic user in the process chain configuration, and then only change the generic user e-mail when changes occur.
When trying to use the sap user id in the process chain no mail message is received.
We would like to seek input from folks in this forum who may have worked with a similar scenario and have developed a solution, or could provide suggestions on how to make this work.
Thanks in Advance

Barbara,

Process chain and Control M

Hi Gurus
We are designing process chain for our BW solution.
We have identified the dependancies of various loads which includes flat file loads and loads from R/3.
Now we would like to control ERP and BW jobs by Control M .
I have the following questions:
1. Which portion of BW process chain do we need to plug in to Control M. ? Do we need to connect the Meta chain to control M or different process chains to Control M?
2.When we create Process chain for BW, what is the best practice? Is it good to create small chains and connect them via Meta chain? or we have to create small chains only?
3. Can we include R/3 extraction Jobs and V3 Jobs in our BW process chain? so that they will trigger when we run the process chain?
4. If we decide to run V 3 jobs after every half an hour on R3 side then how often we have to extract data to BW? and how to catch correct delta without missing single record?
I would appreciate if you can help me with your knowledge.
Thanks
Kris

Hi Kris,
Control M is a third party scheduling tool provided by BMC software.
1) You have option to either include a meta chain or individual chains in Control M .
2) It depends on how your data is extracted. If you have any dependecy jobs on sourcre system, then it is better to create small process chians and include them along with your dependecy jobs in Control M
3)you can include R/3 dependency jobs and V3 jobs in Control M. Once those jobs are finished you can run BW process chains via Control M.
4)You have several scheduling options availalbe in control M to take care of your BW and R/3 jobs.
V3 jobs collect data from R/3 application tables and fill R/3 delta queue(RSA7). when you run BW process chain it will collect all the data available from R/3 delta queue.
If both jobs are running at same time, then it is better to apply some wait time on BW jobs(in process chians).
hope this helps
