PP Intquests

1) Explain what is SAP PP?
SAP PP process is related to production planning of a company and it encompasses all activities like MRP (Material
Requirement Planning), BOM (Bills Of Material), Routing, Capacity planning, etc. but mainly it contains two segments
1 Material Planning: Material requirements planning, long term planning,
2 Execution Planning: Creation of production order, workflow, conformations, technical completion and good
movement
2) Mention what are the production process in SAP?
There are three types of production process in SAP

Processing material master

Creation of Bill of Material
Displaying work center and routing
Maintaining planning calendar
Maintaining production lot
Maintaining quota file
Defining range of coverage profile and profile for safety time
Defining MRP views
4) Explain what is Routing in SAP PP?

Routing in SAP PP is referred to a list of activities which are required to produce any material. For example, when you do
cost estimation for the material, the system triggers the relevant routing and activity rates for all those described in routing.
Which will helpful to calculate the processing cost in product costing.
5) What are the steps of Production Execution Process?
Production Execution steps include
14
15
16
17
18
Converting planned order to production order

Releasing the production order

19 Product cost planning
20 Cost object controlling with the subcomponents
21 Product cost by period
22
23
24
25
Product cost by order

7) Explain what is work center in SAP PP and what is the use of Data in Work Centers?
Work Centers are business objects in SAP-PP that is used in task list operations ( routings, maintenance task lists,
inspection plans) and work orders.
Data in work center is used for
26
27
28
29
Scheduling: Formulas and operating time are entered, so that the duration of an operation can be calculated
Costing: Formulas are entered so that the costs of an operation can be calculated
Capacity Planning: The available capacity and formulas for capacity requirements is entered
Simplifying operation maintenance: Various default values can be included in the work center
8) What is the use of MRP PP evaluations?

This role contains a function for evaluating the MRP result. This function can be used to find information about the
availability of material and to identify any material shortage situation.
9) Mention what is the purpose of using Capacity Planning?
Capacity Planning supports planning in all phases
30 Long term rough cut planning
31 Medium term planning
32 Short term planning
It can be integrated with various SAP applications like SAP-SD, PP, PP-SOP, PP-LTP, PP-SFC, etc.
10) Explain how can you create production order without routing and BOM?
Without BOM and routing you can create a production order by changing the config in OPL8 ( order type dependent
parameters) as routing optional. When we try to create an order using C001 it may ask for a sales order.
11) Explain what happens to planned after it has been converted into production order?
When planned order is converted to the production order, the planned order are offset by production order. The planned
order reference can be seen in the production order.
12) Mention what is the difference between stock transport order and stock transfer order?
33 Stock transfer order: It is referred to the transfer of stock for the usage in the same company
34 Stock transport order: It is referred to the change of title of stock in the name of the buyer
13) Explain what is PRT (Production Resource Tools) in SAP PP?
PRT (Production Resource Tools) are moveable operating objects used to perform repeated activities in plant or production
maintenance, for example, documents such as drawings or programs for which document management functions are used.
Various other PRT components include
35 Engineering drawings
36 Jigs
37 Fixtures
38 Measurement Instruments
14) Explain how to create PRT master records?
To create PRT master records you have to follow the following steps
1 Choose logistics/Accounting -> Project System -> Basic data -> Master data -> Production resources and tools
->Create
2 The initial screen for creating a PRT appears
3 Enter a number for the PRT and choose continue
4 The basic data screen appears
5 Maintain the basic data
6 Choose Goto -> Defaults and enter the default values
7 Save the PRT
15) Mention what is the t-code for changing production order and to display production order?
T-code to change the production order = C002
T-code to display the production order = C003
16) Explain what is PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) in SAP PP and what is the use?
It is a collection of solutions with which you digitally create, maintain and make product information, available in the whole
company and for the entire life cycle of the product.
PLM provides you the function with which you do following things
39 The workplace is an open portal in the world wide web and allows you to access all application and information
that you need to work with all external and internal business partners
40 It can link with other internet applications like program management, change and configuration management and
engineering collaboration.

The systems checks for
The dates to which operations are to be dispatched
The work center to which operations are to be dispatched
Finite scheduling is performed
Operation check is performed
Status for the operation is set as dispatched.
System carries out midpoint scheduling
24) Explain what is the need of MRP list if the stock requirement list is already given?
MRP list displays the result of the last planning run, changes that occurred between planning runs are ignored in the MRP
list. While contrary to this, in the stock or requirement list all changes that occurred in the stock, issues and receipts are
displayed by the system.
25) Mention what are the t-codes for creating, changing and summarizing BOM?
BOM transaction codes for
79 Creating BOM= CS01
80 Changing BOM= CS02
81 Summarized BOM=CS13
26) Mention what is the use of t-code CS20 in BOM?

82 Change the item data
83 Creating new material
84 Replacing it with another material
1. If you have released Prdn order today and it had gone to shop floor. Next day it was found that there is shortage of
material. What will you?
2. How you define Standard Cost and Variable cost in PP?
3. Where can you find Read PP Master in SAP(PP)?
4. What are all the settings done for configuring integration of PP with FICO?1. Do availability check. You will get missing
parts list. Procure those missing parts. Then confirm the production order. One more thing you can do, change customize
setting so that user cannot release if parts are missing during order release.
2. Standard cost is the cost which is fixed for a period, variable cost is varying with period. As for example cost of semi
finished, finished materials are fixed & cost of raw materials are varied.
3. You will find in master data tab page of production header data overview, CO02 - Read PP Master Data. Also from
Functions menu you will get Read PP Master Data. This means that you want the system to re-update the production order
with the latest BOM structure.

--1. Can MRP be carried out for one particular level of a bom ( Level code : 0001/0002 etc).
Yes it can be done by running for specific materials (Single Material Single Level)
2 How Requiements( PIR,Sles Order, Customer Requirement) are reduced after they are produced?
Reqmts are reduced automatically after Delivery is made to the Particular Order
(In case of Strategy 11, the PIRs are consumed after the GR for Production Order)
3. Can't one material be assigned to more than one operation in a routing?

One material from a BOM CANNOT be assigned to different Operations.
It can be done by defining the material for so many times as required in the BOM
4. How to insert an inspection checkpoint at the end of an operation?
If in process sample is to be defined, assign inspection type 03 in the Material Master.
Then create MICs and assign them in the Routings.
System automatically generates the Inspection Lots
5. Where we have to specify the teardown time in one operation?
Teardown time can be defined as one of the Standard Parameters...
6. How the process time is calculated in a WC when both labour, Machine categories exist?
Scheduling is done based on the Capacity Category we define in the Workcenter
7. How to create opbject dependencies in a BOM FOR A CONFIGURABLE MATERIAL?
Go to Extras -> Object Dependency -> Assign
For this U need to create Characteristics and Class (of Class Type 300) earlier
8. Can any body explain me why work scheduling view is required for semi finished and finished products?
(Because we'll mention all details in MRP views)
A) We need to maintain working scheduling view in order to make that finished or semi finished goods available for
production as we assign production scheduler and production scheduler profile in this view, if not maintained
conversion of planned order to production will not be possible.
1. What are Traffic Lights in MRP? red = the stock is not available
yellow - the stock is in average level stock
green = the stock is available
2. What is MRP List and what is the use of it?
Definition of the MRP List
The system creates MRP lists during the planning run according to how you set the creation indicator. These lists contain the
planning result for the material. The MRP list always displays the stock/requirements situation at the time of the last
planning run and it also provides a work basis for the MRP controller. Changes that are made after the planning date are not
taken into consideration, so the list is static.
MRP lists are stored in the system until they are either deleted manually or replaced by new lists from a subsequent planning
run.
3. What is the use of Stock Requirement List?
In the stock/requirements list, the most up-to-date stock and requirements situation is displayed.
The main difference between the MRP list and the stock/requirements list is that each time the stock/requirements list is
called up, the system selects the various MRP elements and displays the most up-to-date situation. You thus always see the
current availability situation of the material in the stock/requirements list. Changes that are made after the planning date are
displayed directly, so the list is therefore dynamic.
Stock/requirements lists are not saved in a fixed state in the system, but are subject to change and only exist in the working
memory.
Comparison
The screen layout of both lists is basically the same.
The system automatically runs the rescheduling check directly when both lists are created and puts forward rescheduling
proposals.
The number of exception messages displayed in each list is roughly the same. The only difference lies in the fact that, due to
the nature of the list, no exception messages can occur for newly planned MRP elements in the stock/requirements list.
Directly after the planning run, both lists contain the same information. As soon as a change relevant to MRP is made, the
system updates the information in the stock/requirements list.
As stock/requirements lists are subject to change, they cannot be set with a processing indicator.
4. What is MRP controller Means?
The MRP controller is a person or a group of persons responsible for monitoring material availability. You can use the
number entered here, for example, to select the planning results per MRP conroller.
Every material that is relevant to the planning run must be assigned an MRP controller number in the material master record.
You can also determine a special person for backorder processing who receives a mail if a goods receipt was posted for a
missing part. You must enter the mail name of this person in the field entitled, recipient name.
In addition, you can define a person or a group of persons, who are to informed if you send a mail from the MRP list or
stock/requirements list to the MRP controller for the material displayed.
Actions
5. What is MRP group and what is the use of it?
MRP Groups
In this step, you can carry out the total maintenance of the MRP groups and you can allocate a material type to an MRP
group.
The MRP group is an organizational object that can be used to allocate special control parameters for planning to a group of
materials. You can maintain MRP groups if planning control per plant is not precise enough for your requirements and you
want to allocate certain material groups different control parameters from the plant parameters. For this purpose, MRP
groups are defined with these specific control parameters and are assigned to the material in the material master record
(MRP 1 screen).
For example, the following control parameters can be set for the total planning run:
the creation indicator for the plarequisitions, MRP lists, and so on)
the planning horizon
the consumption mode
The following is valid for total planning and single-item planning:
for all materials without an MRP group, the system uses the plant parameters, or the entries in the initial screen of the
planning run
for all materials with an MRP group, the system uses the parameters recorded in the MRP groupnning run (creation of
purchase
6. What is Purpose of Schedule Margin Key?
In this step, you specify the floats for determining the basic dates of the planned orders. The floats are allocated to the
material via the release period key in the material master record.
Opening period
The opening period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from the order start date in order to determine the
order creation date. This time is used by the MRP controller as a float for converting planned orders into purchase
requisitions or into production orders.

Float before production
The float before production represents the number of workdays that are planned as a float between the order start date
(planned start date) and the production start date (target start date).
On the one hand, this float is intended to guarantee that delays in staging a material do not delay the production start. On the
other hand, the production dates can be brought forward by means of the float to cope with capacity bottlenecks.
Float after production
The float after production should provide a float for the production process to cope with any disruptions so that there is no
danger that the planned finish date will be exceeded. You plan the float after production between order finish date (planned
finish date) and scheduled end (target finish date).
Release period
The release period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from the order start date in order to determine the
production order release. The release period is only relevant for production order management.
7. What is opening period?
Opening period
The opening period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from the order start date in order to determine the
order creation date. This time is used by the MRP controller as a float for converting planned orders into purchase
requisitions or into production orders.
8. What is SLA ? Service Level Agreements
Service Level Agreements (SLA) define the attributes for service products (for example, maintenance, Hotline) that have
been agreed upon with the customer in service contracts. The SLA confirms different parameters, such as response time,
availability time and system availability.
9. What are Basic Dates?
Earliest date for the execution of the production order. This date takes into account the float before production.
If, on order creation, a planned order exists for the production order or process order, then the order dates are taken from the
planned order. When scheduling the production order the system tries to adhere to the order dates (if necessary, with
reduction measures).
If it is not possible to adhere to the basic dates and if the control parameter in Customizing allows the basic dates to be
adjusted, the system adjusts the basic dates of the order during the scheduling run.
If the control parameter in Customizing does not allow the basic dates to be adjusted, the order keeps the basic dates of the
planned order.
If the production order is created manually, you must enter at least one order date manually.
The scheduling type determines, which order dates you must enter.
10. What is planning time fence?
The planning time fence specifies a period within which no automatic changes are to be made to the master plan.
The planning time fence is maintained in workdays.
11. What is Planning Horizon?
In this step, you define the planning horizon. This planning horizon specifies the period for the "Net change planning in the
planning horizon".
In this kind of net change planning, only those materials that have undergone a change that is relevant to MRP within the
planning horizon are included in the planning run. Such materials receive a net change planning indicator in the planning
file.
You make this specification for a plant. You can define an alternative planning horizon for MRP groups
12. What is Group BOM?
Alphanumeric character string used to uniquely identify a BOM.
Use
If you assign a "meaningful" number to a BOM group, this gives you an additional way of accessing the BOM.
The system stores the following under a BOM group:
all the alternatives in a multiple BOM
all the BOMs entered for a variant BOM
13. What is costing? How it is affected the PP?
Determining the material costs of a product.
When you calculate production costs using a quantity structure, the system automatically determines the BOM and all the
BOM items that are relevant to costing, in order to calculate manufacturing costs.
14. What is Meaning of Customized Reports?
The report which is not using SAP standard reports.
15. In Project the Customization is comes under Which Phase?
Realization.
16. How you get the Ticket?
After release order,the reservation will provide the ticke to pick production material.
17. What are GAPS? Some Examples?
The GAPS are some issue in blue print that SAP cannot capture or prividing the client bussiness process.
18. What is LSMW?
The LSM Workbench is an SAP System tool that supports you when copying data from non-SAP.
systems.
19. After Doing Realization How we will check whether it is working or not?
Doing Final preparation to check using the test case from user.
20. What do we do in Realization Phase?
Provide ARICEF, Configuration Documents, integration test, BPP, UAT, Unit Test and implements some SAP notes.
21. How to Move to the Realization Phase?
You must have some blueprints to go in next phase.
22. In LSMW which is most important Step?
Maintain Object Attributes

Maintain Source Structures
Maintain Source Fields
Maintain Structure Relations
Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules
Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines.

What are the cutover activities followed for PP module?I am listing some cut over activities to be followed (for PP Discrete Manufacturing).
Production Planning / Master data:
For Production planning, only master data shall be migrated to SAP. In the 1st Stage, there is no master data. Following is
the master data elements relevant for PP:
- Bill of materials
- Routing.
- Work Centres.
Transaction data:
As of the cut off date, ideally there should not be any work in process. All the open production orders should be closed and
semi finished goods should be dismantled and should be added to Raw materials. This strategy should be followed for all
production orders where lead time to complete the production order is not large.
Since, the production orders are for longer duration and it is not possible to dismantle the product and add it to inventory,
following can be the strategy for migrating the data to SAP:
- Create a material master for the work in process and set the standard price as the cost incurred for that product (ie. Work in
process)
- Create a bill of material (which will be used only for this production order) including this material and other materials still
to be consumed.
- Create Routing for rest of the production process.
- Bring the work in process material into inventory as of the cut off date.
- Create the production orders in SAP for the Work in process and issue materials to production order.
Complete the production process after the cut off date of the project.

What happens to planned after it has been converted into production order?
When you convert Planned order to Production order. the planned order are offset by production order. Reference of planned
order can be seen in the production order.
How to attach a drawing for a material to BOM? Is it possible?
Yes, you can attach a drawing.
First create a document using Transaction Code "CV01N - Create Document".
Attach your drawing in that document.
The system will generate a document number. Assign this document in the BOM with item category D.
Report in Long Term Planning - You use long term planning for your customers, what they need are very simple, just to
calculate future requirements for 1 or 2 years.
Are there any reports in SAP to list of material requirement from LTP?
You need a list of material requirement from long term planning result for each item.
Use MS70 then use MCEC.
Scheduling planned order - How can you get planned orders scheduled so that you can do capacity leveling?
MD11 and then Schedule works fine but ideally you would want the the planned order scheduled automatically on creation?
You have tried setting up an action to schedule the orders but cannot get that to work either.
When running MRP, try selecting "2" in the scheduling box this will bring planned orders into CM01 and CM21
Capacity planning CM01 - When you run capacity planning T-code: CM01, you found the plan orders are not included in
the pegged requirement, you checked the profile, the check box for order and plan order are all actived.
Guess that planned orders have been created without capacity requirement indicator in MRP ("2" - Lead Time scheduling),
if this is the case, then when converted to process orders they will have impact on the Resource. If you want to see them as
planned orders, re-run the MRP or change in every planned order, going to the Menu: Edit --> Scheduling
Another couple of possibilities are to do with the routing/work centres used and whether it isactually calculates consumption
of capacity of the category at the work centre being displayed in CM01 (it might consume a capacity pool or it might not
consume the category).
MPS in Backgound/Online - You want to run MPS for a plant either online or in the background, but you do not get any
results. If you run MPS for a single material/plant, then everything is 100% OK.
You need to run a planning file and a consistency check first, transaction OMDO and MDRE respectively you'll need to set
up two jobs to do it but it is straight forward, once you've done this set up the background job for MPS to run and do it in
NEUPL first time round and then change to NETCH after that.
What is the output of MPS run?
From MPS run you plan the materials which are of 'A' type in the abc analysis (80% dollar value) that have to be planned
before hand.
MPS is also a type of MRP only in which components just below the materials on which MPS run is taken place, are
planned.
Table for production order status - What is the table for finding status (for Ex TECO ed prodn orders). We are not able to
find from AFKO and AFRU tables the status of production orders or at least the link tables if known can be mentionned.
You are unable to link the structure caufvd and IOHEADER WITH AFKO and AFRU.
JEST is the table.
Data dictonary table for SOP planning data - You are using Standard SOP (Info structure S076), in which table can you see
the planning values that you maintained in MC93 transaction?
You looked under table "S076" and did not see any values there.
Use T.Code MC95 to display your entries under the version which maintained the the table S076.
Production order operation's component allocation - How does SAP know that an operation has components as indicated by
the component allocation indicator? Tcode CO08.
Component allocation is done via routing maintenance or BOM maintenance for the assembly. This is master data
maintenance. As soon as a PO is created, the master data is read into the PO.
How to delete groups of products?
How to delete a group of products that was created in screen MC84?
Delete the members in the product group and then archive the product group in transaction SARA, object=MM_MATNR.
(The product group is created as a material master record with material type PROD and this record is deleted in SARA.)
