15. September 2008
SESSION CODE: MFG 0903
Good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
My name is J uergen Wettengl.
Together with my colleague Uwe Dittes we would like to give you an overview about the new sap manufacturing ERP feature
Work in Process Batches.
Firstly let us introduce ourselves.
My name is J uergen Wettengl. I work as a solution manager. I have been working for SAP since 1994.
Before I worked for a german company as a project manager for production planning and manufacturing execution.
Uwe, would you please introduce yourself.
If you do not mind. We should leave questions to the end.

Production Order 70001:
Cutting Forging Heat Treatment
WIP Batch A_1 WIP Batch A_2 WIP Batch A_3
The work in process batch (WIP Batch) is a partial quantity of the
production- or process order header material confirmed per
operation or phase.
WIP Batches represent an intermediate status of a product which is
in production.
Alternatively a reference material can be used instead of the header
material of the production- or process order.
Before EHP4 it was not possible to confirm batches ( a partial quantity of a material) per operation and phase.
It was only possible to confirm batches with the goods receipt of the manufacturing order. There was no work in process
information on batch level available within the manufacturing order.
The WIP Batch is a partial quantity of the production- or process order header material.
You can confirm/create WIP Batches while confirming an operation or phase.
WIP Batches represent an intermediate status of a product. Optional it is possible to classify WIP Batches using batch
characteristics.
Alternatively instead of header material of the manufacturing order you can use a reference material, which can be allocated
in the material master of the header material of the order.

Based on this example we will present the new functionality. We are going to show it step by step also presenting a system
example per step.
We will create a production order with 3 operations: Cutting, Forging and Heat treatment and will confirm these using work in
process batches.
In the example we will split WIP Batches in operation cutting.
And merge WIP Batches in operation forging.
WIP batches can be classified and depending on the operation the characteristics are used to document the production.
A WIP Batch is a special type of a batch and exist only inside a manufacturing order.
10
SAP 2008 / Page 10 internal
Usage
Work in process tracking on operation / phase level of a
production or process order
Quantity based work in process stock analysis
Documentation of the actual characteristics / status of a
product which is in production
Subcontracting to send work in process batches to
subcontractors
For what can you use WIP batches ?
You can use WIP Batches for tracking of the work in process. A WIP Batch where used list per manufacturing order is
available which determines how a WIP batch was created and used in various operations of a manufacturing order.
While confirming an operation or phase you can create a goods receipt for a WIP Batch quantity.
So you can analyze the work in process stock for example using the batch information cockpit.
Using the classification system you can document the actual characteristics and status of a WIP Batch.
If you have to support subcontracting operations within a manufacturing order you can use WIP batches to send the work in
process parts to a subcontractor.
For each of this usages we will show a system example in this presentation.

Based on a planned order coming from the MRP run a production or process order will be created adopting the recipe or the
BOM and routing.
The user checks the material availability and release the order.
The material staging will be executed and the production process starts.
While confirming the operation or phase the user creates the WIP Batches, valuate the batch characteristics and allocate the
goods issue consumed for the WIP Batch created.
While confirming the last operation of the manufacturing order the user assigns the WIP batch created in the last operation to
a normal stock batch and creates the goods receipt into the warehouse.

2.Confirming the operation the user create the WIP Batches and assign predecessor batches, post the goods issue of the
used components and confirm the activities like the setup, machine or labor time.
It is possible to process the WIP Batches e.g. using provided functionality for split and merge.
In the last operation of an order the wip batch will be assigned to a goods receipt (Stock) batch.
The user creates the goods receipt and can set the status final confirmation.

If you have to support subcontracting operations within a manufacturing order you can use WIP batches to send

How does the purchase order look like?
For the production on supplier side we have to provide the components COMP_C and COMP_D and
The pressed parts the WIP Batch P_10 created in the internal operation before.
The functionality to create an item for the work in process material is new.
Based on these items the delivery can be created and the work in process batches and the components can be transferred to
the supplier.
Optionally you can allocate the batches early in the purchase order or later in the delivery or the goods issue.

In the example we create the WIP Batch P_20 100 pieces produced.
And allocate the used component batch 1605 from the components COMP_C and COMP_D confirmed from the supplier.
Using the WIP Batch reference material Finish_Ref we allocate also the usage of WIP Batch P_10 the delivered pressed parts to the
supplier.
If you use the supply network collaboration system (SNC) the confirmation of external operations can be triggered automatically.

Currently the WIP batch tracks the material on a quantity basis only.
We are evaluating how a wip batch can be also valuated.
During the goods receipt posting of a WIP batch a new valuation strategy for material price determination shall be introduced.
With the new valuation strategy the price for the WIP batch will be calculated based on the defined planned costs for the
operation the WIP Batch is being created.

Based on the example shown before the Price determination can look like this variant using the planned costs calculated per
operation.
Based on the material costs and activity costs of a production order operation the system can calculate the price to consider
per operation.
In this example the price for the WIP Batch after cutting would be 50 USD per meter. After forging 100 USD and after heat
treatment 200 USD.
We would like to ask you which variants for the price determination of a wip batch are required in your company.
In this example the price is calculated based on planned costs. Is it e.g. also required to calculate the price for a WIP batch
also on a basis of actual costs ??
We are very interested to get your input. In the presentation you can find our E-Mail addresses. Examples would be very
helpful for us..

Fulfil legal requirements:
. requires the maintenance of strict batch traceability through the
manufacturing process from raw material through to finished product.
Supports defect tracing, call-back activities and regression
requirement
Better visibility to reduce the work in process stock
The WIP Batch functionalitycan help to fulfill legal requirements and requirements fromcustomers to be able to trace a
specific batch.
It supports defect tracing ,callback activities and regression requirements.
And last but not least it gives a better visibilty controlling the work in process stock.

Summar y
Definition:
The work in process batch (WIP Batch) is a partial quantity of the
production- or process order header material confirmed per operation
or phase.
WIP Batches represent an intermediate status of a product which is in
production.
Alternatively a reference material can be used instead of the header
material of the production- or process order.
Usage:
Work in process tracking, work in process stock analyse,
Documentation, Subcontracting
To sum up:
Before EHP4 It was only possible to confirm batches with the goods receipt of the manufacturing order.
Within a manufacturing order there was no work in process information on batch level available in the system.
The WIP Batch is a partial quantity with an intermediate status of the production- or process order header material.
Alternatively a reference material can be used.
You can confirm/create WIP Batches per operation or phase.
You can use the functionality for Work in process tracking, stock analyse, documentation and supporting the subcontracting
processes.
We are veryinterested to get your input. Please let us knowIf you have further requirements. Our E-mail adresses you can
find in the next slide.
Thank you very much.
