Releasing production order automatically on clicking approve tab

Hi ,
I am working on workflows for production order and my scenario is when new production order will create then workflow will send mail to approver containing link to execute workitem. when approver clicks on that link then it will login into SAP and show that very workitem with approve and reject tabs. till now everything is working fine but my user wants when approver clicks on approve tab then that production order will automatically be released as he dont want to go into co02 for manual release.
Please suggest me how can this be possible as its urgent.
points will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Rahul

First you check the standard BOR object type to see if it has a method for releasing the production order, and if one is found you use it in a step in your workflow.
If the standard BOR object type does not have a method for releasing the production order, you have to extend it in a subtype with a custom method for releasing the production order. If you have an existing subtype you can just add a new method, otherwise you must first create a new object type as a subtype of the SAP standard object type, and then add your custom method for releasing the production order. You can delegate the standard object type to your subtype so you can call the new method directly from the standard object type, or add a step which will create an object of your subtype before the step that uses your custom method. Don't forget to set the status of the object type and method to implemented (or released).

Assign batch number from sale order to production order automatic

Dear all, I have a question for all. Please help me in this case
My scenario is make to order
I have a sale order, when i create sale order, i have assigned batch number at each line item.
When i run MRP for sale order (MD50), the system generate a planned order for it and I've converted to production order.
So when I view production order, I think that batch number what I've assigned to sale order will be assign to production order but that is not happen.
So, can you help me solve this problem. I think that sap can assign batch number from sale order to production order automatic but i don't know how to configure that
Thanks all

Hi,
To the best of my knowledge, when system is generating planned order / production order from sales order system doesnt copy batch number from sales order.
In fact , you are following wrong practice for generating batch no.
Follow procedure like this :
Create sales order without any batch assigning there. Run MRP with MD50 and then convert planned order to Production Order.
While creation / releasing of Production order, you have option to generate batch automatically by following way :
Go to OPKP (Production Scheduling Profile) -> Take your plant & give suitable name to Production scheduling profile-> Batch Management tab -
> Automatic Batch creation in the order maintain this field as
1 Automatic batch creation at order creation
or
2 Autom. batch creation at order release
This will generate batch number automatically at the time of creation or release of order.
Then follow same process i.e. Goods Issue, Confirmation & GR for production order.
So you will get sales order stock in the form of batch managed.
Check & revert if any issue in above flow.

How get all released production orders

Hi experts,
I need to get all released Production Orders for a specific plant. I noticed that usually you don´t select directly from table AUFK. Most of people use function module WCFS_STTXT_GET to get the status of an order. I know that table AUFK has fields ASTNR (status) and PHAS1 (released) however those fields don't reflect the status of an order (thatu2019s why WCFS_STTXT_GET is used).
Also, I know that table JEST contains status for an order; however, for a simple order that table shows more than one status (I guess is like a history of all status the order had).
So my question is: How can I get all released orders for an specific plant? If I use WCFS_STTXT_GET I would have to select all orders and check the status one by one, which is obviously not efficient at all.
Thanks!

Hi Carlos,
As far as i know, it is not possible to get the latest status on a production order. if we see a production order in CO03, we see that all the status' are displayed on the order which it has been through.
I remember we had to include the system status logic similar to the transaction COHV, and we had used the table JEST for the same.
Kindly update the solution if you find any.
Thanks.

Material shortage ( soft or hard error ) while releasing production order?

Hi Guys
I am a SAP tech guy wrote a BDC program to release production order. It worked fine in one enviroment but not working another enviroment saying ..Material shortage.
My BDC program can't afford any hard errors in the process. The execution stop abruptly for any hard error.
How to change that Material shortage from hard error to soft error or any info message.
Any ideas? any thing to do with material master or spro?
Thanks
Hari

Hi
You can make settings in SPRO, so that the material availability check will not restrict you to go further...
follow the path:
SPRO>Production->Shop floor control>Operations->Availability Check-->Scope of check
There you will find the settings for order creation and release (1 & 2)..
You have remove the restriction there.

Creating a Cost Center

Change of sales order in combination with planned/released production order

Hi Guru's,
How do you deal with changes in the sales order in combination with planned orders and the scenario how to deal with release production orders?
Can you tell me the SAP scenario, technically or reports or transactions or user exits, etc?
Thank you in advance,
Eric

Here You have 2 scenarios
1. Sales order changed at planned order stage
In this case any chagne of quantity done in the sales order level will be taken care by the Planned order until it was not firmed .
In case if it was firmed for the increased qty you will get a new planned order getting created.
In case if it is reduced and if it was unfirmed it will get changed accordingly
2. Sales order changed at production order stage
if the planned order was converted to production order change we can manually changes the respective Production order util no confirmation was done to any operations..
is all this scenariors you are looking for if it is helpful let me know
thanks..

Production order: Automatic Generation of settlement rule .......

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to settle a production order to a cost center. I have already define a settlement profile with Cost center as the default reciever and assigned it to the Order type but when I tried to settle it, I have to create a distirbution rule manually every time. Is this some thing to do with the strategy sequence? I have done a lot of research but the system doesnt give me any option for autmatically generating a settlement rule or assigning strategy sequence to order type for production order. I found some thing for Internal orders, but still i cant do it. Would any of you please help me. I would appreciate if you put the steps with the trxn codes.
Thanks

Dear.
As I know, there're no way to generate settlement rule of production order automatically such as that of WBS(network).
In settlement profile, If you want automatic fuction, you can only set PA segment as receiver addionally.
What you want to do is the price difference(PRD-PRF) of production order be settled? then, why don't you make automatic account assignment(OKB9)?
Generally, assumed using PA segment as receiver, we don't make price difference account as cost element, But, In your case, If you want to settle all amount of that to fixed cost center, specify that cost element to cost center by OKB9 instead of adding cost center in settleme rule.
Regards.

Capacity Requirement From Released Production Order

Hi PP Gurus,
Can i limit capacity requirement only from released production order ? I don't want to count requirement from production order that just created but not yet release.
Regards,
Arman Lie

Dear Arman,
As a standard practice the system creates the capacityrequirements once the production order is created.
Check this,
When a production order is created the following actions are carried out:
·        A routing is selected, its operations and sequences are transferred to the order
·        The bill of materials is exploded and the items in the bill of material are transferred to the order
·        Reservations are generated for bill of material items held in stock
·        The planned costs for the order are generated
·        The capacity requirements are generated for the work centers
·        Purchase requisitions are generated for non-stock items and externally-processed operations

Cannot release production order for a plant

Hi:
When I try to release a process order , I get this error message:
"CAnnot release production order for plant".
I get this message for a particular material in the plant. For other materials, it's working fine.
Please give your suggestions!
Gautham

Hi,
Check the Tasklist usage for your routing for that material.
For this usage ,check in op45 against the task list type whether until release indicator has been enabled.If so remove
and do the release.
or
check whether workcenter which is used for producing the material has been locked in work center itself.
Indicator: Usage only until release in orderIndicator used to specify for a task list usage and a task list type that an operation in the order cannot be released. This occurs when a work center group that is not intended for production is allocated to this operation.
When this type of operation in the order is released you must enter the work center where production should take place.

Auto Material & Capacity Availability check when releasing Production Order

Dear Experts,
Is there any configuration in Production Planning that will automatically check material availability and capacity availability automatically when a Production Order is released?
Meaning to say, users will not need to manually click on the Check Material Availability and Check Capacity Availability button.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I've solved the problem. Just maintain the config in transaction OPJK.
Thanks
