In SAP which is the highest organizational level? Ans: The highest organizational level in SAP is Client. 2 In Level code 0001/0002 etc can the MRP be carried out for one particular level? Ans: Yes, in level code 0001/0002 MRP can be carried out for one particular level. 3 For SAP PP module what are the cutover activities followed? Ans: The following are some of the cut over activities that are to be followed for PP Discrete Manufacturing: Production Planning/ Master Data: In PP only master data shall be migrated to SAP; there is no master data in the first stage. The elements that are related to PP in the master data are Bill of Materials, Routing and Work Centers. Transaction Data: As per 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 would be dismantled and should be added to Raw materials. This strategy should be followed for all production order 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 to migrate the data to SAP It create a material master for the work in process and set the standard price as the cost incurred for that product (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. It creates Routing for rest of the production process. Bring the work in process material into inventory as of the cut off date. It creates the production orders in SAP for the Work in process and issue materials to production order. 4 Which is the highest organizational level for Material Master Record PP Data? Ans: The highest Organizational level for Material Master Record PP Data is Plant. 5 What would be the result to plan after it has been converted into production order? Ans: When the Planned order is converted to Production order the planned order are offset by production order, with reference of planned order can be seen in the production order.

What are the requirements for PIR, Sales Order, and Customer Requirement are reduced after they are produced? Ans: After the Delivery is made to the Particular Order in case of strategy 11, the PIR are consumed after the GR for Production Order are the requirements which are reduced automatically. 7 8 What is the difference between F1 Help and F4 Help? Is it possible to attach a drawing for a material to BOM and what is the process? Ans: F1 Help is used for field help and whereas F4 is used for possible entries. Ans: Yes, its possible to attach a drawing for a material to BOM and coming to the process create a document using Transaction Code CV01N Create Document and attach the drawing in that document. Then the system will automatically generate a document number and then assign this document in the BOM with item category D. 9 Is it possible to assign one material to more than one operation in a routing? Ans: No, one material from a BOM cannot be assigned to different operations, but it can be done by defining the material for so many times as required in the BOM. 10 Where is the Variant Configuration typically used?

Ans: The Variant Configuration is typically used at Make-to-Stock Environment. What is the procedure to insert an inspection checkpoint at the end of an operation? Ans: The procedure to insert an inspection is by defining it in the process sample, assign inspection type 03 in the Material Master then create MIC and assign them in the Routings. Then the system automatically generates the Inspection Lots. 12 What is used to generate reports in SAP for a list of material requirements from LTP? Ans: To generate the reports for the list of material required for LTP is by using MS70 and then use MCEC. 13 What is the parameter used to specify the teardown time in one operation? Ans: The teardown time in one operation can be defined by one of the Standard Parameter. 14 How to get planned orders scheduled for scheduling planned order for capacity leveling? Ans: The planned orders scheduled for scheduling planned order while running MRP, by selecting 2 in the scheduling box this will bring planned orders into CM01 and CM02. 15 When both labor, Machine categories exist how does process time is calculated in WC? Ans: When both labor, Machine categories exist scheduling is done based on the Capacity Category it is defined at Work center. 16 General Data that contains in Basic Data Screen are?

Ans: General data that contains in basic data screen are Material Number, Material Description and Base Unit of Measure. 17 How to navigate for creating object dependencies in a BOM for configurable materials? Ans: Navigation for creating object dependencies in a BOM is for configurable materials is Go to Extras>Object Dependency>Assign. Explain me why work scheduling view is required for semi finished and finished 18 products? Ans: Work Schedule view is required for semi finished and finished products because all the details are mentioned in MRP views and they are also available for production for scheduler and production scheduler profile in this view, if not maintained conversion of planned order to production will not be possible. 19 Which transaction code is used for creating material master? Ans: MM01 is the transaction code for creating material master. 20 What is the procedure when a program is run for capacity planning Transaction code CM01 and where the plan orders are not included in the pegged requirements, even checked the profile and the check box for order and plan order are all activated? Ans: When the planned orders have been created without capacity requirement indicator in MRP 2 lead time scheduling, in such case they would be converted to process orders they will have impact on the resource. If the planned orders, re-run the MRP or change in every planned order, going to the menu and edit the Scheduling. Another possibility is to do with routing/work centers used and whether it is actually calculates consumption of capacity of the category at the work center being displayed in CM 01, it may consume a capacity pool or it may not consume the category. What is Batch? Ans: The partial quantity of material managed separately from

other quantity of same material in stock is called Batch. 22 How to delete a group of products that are created in Screen MC84 and group of products? Ans: The product group is created as a material master record with material type PROD and this record is deleted in SARA and the members deleted in the product group and then archive the product group in transaction SARA. Object MM_MATNR. Which component in BOM is allocated to 23 operation? Ans: Routing is the component in BOM which is allocated to operation. 24 What is the procedure for MPS in Back ground online when it was run for a plant either ways? Ans: MPS in Back ground online was run for a plant in either ways it would run MPS for a single material/plant, if it does not work it need to run a planning file and a consistency check first, transaction OMDO and MDRE respectively it require to set up two jobs to do it but it is straight forward, once it was done this set up the back ground job MPS to run and do it in NEUPL first time round and then change to NETCH after that. 25 In which unit the stock keeping is done in a company? Ans: The Stock keeping in a company is done at Base unit of measure.

Deloitte 1 2110 What is the difference between time ticket and time event confirmation and when they are used ? Deloitte 0 434 What does a PP Consultant do in his/her real time?

26 What is the output of MPS run? Ans: MPS is run to plan the materials which are of 'A' type in the abc analysis (80% dollar value) that have to be planned before. MPS is also a type of MRP only in which components just below the materials on which MPS run is taken place, are planned. 27 28 Where BOM does always created? List some components of BOM? Ans: BOM is always created at Single Level. Ans: Components of BOM are List of Components, Quantity of Components and Unit of Measure

of Components. How does SAP know that an operation has 29 components as indicated by the component allocation indicator? Ans: Component allocation is done by 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. 30 In which table the planning values are maintained in MC93 transaction? Ans: The planning values that are maintained by using transaction code MC95 to display the entries and the table are S076. ==============

Interview Questions and Anwsers on SAP PP

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.

4. Assigning of Cost center to work center. Assigning Activity type to work center, Standard Cost estimate, Costing Run, Order settlement, Product costing. *-- Chandan Majumdar --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.

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. . Is it possible to attach a drawing for a material to BOM and what is the process? Ans: Yes, its possible to attach a drawing for a material to BOM and coming to the process create a document using Transaction Code CV01N Create Document and attach the drawing in that

How does SAP know that an operation has components as indicated by the component allocation indicator? Ans: Component allocation is done by 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. Re: When will the order fully settlement? Answer #1

we have to conform order and goods receipt.Later activate the TECHO (technically completed). settlement means the order account must be 0 that time only we can close the order.
