What are the steps of a typical production process? You can see the steps of a production process scenario as: Your Client being the Sub-contract vendor for the customers. A typical process will be as below : 1) Create materials masters for the Raw material and FERT materials in your syste in tocde : MM01. 2) Create BOM in Tcode ; CS01for the FERT material using the Raw material created as BOM item. 3) Create Routing in Tcode : CA01for the FERT material with the various operation ./ activities you perform on the raw material to convert it into FERT material. 4) Create Pricing for the FERT material in TCode : VK11 (provide only the Job work price) 5) Create a Sale order for the FERT Material in Tcode ; VA01 6) Inward the raw material in Tcode : MB1C with movt type 501 E or 521 E (special Movt Type) 7) Create the Production Order wrt to Sale order in Tcode ; CO08 8) Perform Goods Issue against the production order with the same spl movt 261 E. 9) Carryout the confirmation for the order. 10) Perform Goods receipt for the prod order. It will go to Special stock i.e Sale order Stock. 11) Perform delivery for the Sale order and PGI 12) Create Invoice

2. Bill of materials
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bill of materials (sometimes bill of material or BOM) is a list of the raw materials, sub-assemblies, intermediate assemblies, sub-components, components, parts and the quantities of each needed to manufacture an end product. No physical dimension is described in a BOM.[1][2] It may be used for communication between manufacturing partners, or confined to a single manufacturing plant. A BOM can define products as they are designed (engineering bill of materials), as they are ordered (sales bill of materials), as they are built (manufacturing bill of materials), or as they are maintained (service bill of materials). The different types of BOMs depend on the business need and use for which they are intended. In process industries, the BOM is also known as the formula, recipe, or ingredients list. In electronics, the BOM represents the list of components used on the printed wiring board or printed circuit board. Once the design of the circuit is completed, the BOM list is passed on to the PCB layout engineer as well as component engineer who will procure the components required for the design. BOMs are hierarchical in nature with the top level representing the finished product which may be a subassembly or a completed item. BOMs that describe the sub-assemblies are referred to as modular BOMs. An example of this is the NAAMS BOM that is used in the automotive industry to list all the components in an assembly line. The structure of the NAAMS BOM is System, Line, Tool, Unit and Detail. The first hierarchical databases were developed for automating bills of materials for manufacturing organizations in the early 1960s. At present this BOM is used as a data base to identify the many parts and their codes in automobile manufacturing companies.[3] A bill of materials "implosion" links component pieces to a major assembly, while a bill of materials "explosion" breaks apart each assembly or sub-assembly into its component parts. A BOM can be displayed in the following formats:

A single-level BOM that displays the assembly or sub-assembly with only one level of children. Thus it displays the components directly needed to make the assembly or sub-assembly.[4]

An indented BOM that displays the highest-level item closest to the left margin and the components used in that item indented more to the right.[1]

Modular (planning) BOM

A BOM can also be visually represented by a product structure tree, although they are rarely used in the workplace.[1]

bill of materials (BOM) is a hierarchical list of components used in an assembly. The bill of materials is used chiefly for cost estimates, but is also used for inventory control and tracking where parts are used. A bill of materials may or may not include labor.

3. The bill of material type is defined by the type of master record that you assign to the bill of
material. In the Plant Maintenance (PM) component this involves either material master records or the bills of material of technical objects.

There are three bill of material categories in the PM component: the simple BOM and its enhancements, the variant BOM and the multiple BOM. The technical BOM category for each newly-defined BOM is the "simple BOM". If you maintain a number of technical objects which are composed of similar or identical parts, you can extend the simple BOM to a variant or multiple BOM.

Bills of Material for Technical Objects Bills of material (BOMs) for technical objects are used to describe the structure of a piece of equipment or functional location and to allocate spare parts for maintenance purposes to it. BOMs for technical objects can be created individually for a specific technical object or for a group of technical objects. A BOM can be linked to a technical object in two ways: Direct allocation Direct allocation is performed by directly linking one or more master records to a BOM, without inserting a material master record. If all the technical objects are identical in terms of structure, the BOM items are valid for all the allocated technical objects.

If individual materials or assemblies are only valid for certain objects, a joint BOM can still be used. In this case, the object-specific differences can be documented using variant items. Indirect allocation Master records for technical objects can be indirectly allocated to a BOM if the master records are linked to a material master record which contains its own material BOM via the field Construction Type. This is the case when a company has several identical technical objects grouped under one material number. This is shown in the figure below:

The following rules apply to functional locations: When the installation of pieces of equipment is allowed for the functional location, the material number entered in the functional location master record simply indicates that only pieces of equipment with this material number can be installed in the functional location. If the installation of pieces of equipment is not allowed, the material number entered in the functional location master record indicates that this functional location is one of several similar functional locations that are combined under this material number. Only in this case can you use the material number for indirect allocation of BOMs. Material BOM It is created with a direct link to a material master record. The material master record contains, amongst others, descriptive data (for example, weight and dimensions) and control data (for example, material category and industry sector). In maintenance, material BOMS are used to depict the structure of assemblies to be maintained and object types in a company. For more information on Engineering Change Management, refer to the SAP documentation PP - Bill of Material.

Bill of material, category

Variant BOM If you maintain technical objects containing mostly the same parts, you can combine the individual bills of material (BOMs) for these objects to form a variant BOM.

You want to depict several engines, which all have a very similar structure. However, there are a few significant differences, which also affect the bills of material (BOMs) for the individual motors. Create a BOM for engine 1. It contains the highest number of components that are also contained in the other engines. Now create BOMs for the other slightly different engines. These are the so-called variants. They contain o o the selected components for the BOM for engine 1 components, valid only for the specific engine, for which the variant was created

The BOM for engine 1 and all the variants together form the BOM group "Engines". Several technical objects which are entered as variants of one variant BOM are stored under one BOM number. You can describe all variants of a variant BOM using the BOM group (in the BOM header). Variant BOMs require less memory space, as the identical BOM items are only saved once on the database. A change to a BOM item, which is identical in several variant BOMs, is simultaneously performed for all affected variant BOMs. Multiple BOM A technical object which consists of different combinations of material is represented by a number of alternative BOMs. These alternative bills of material differ only slightly, mostly in the quantity of certain materials in certain items or small variances in materials. Multiple bills of material are used in production planning and have little or no use in plant maintenance.

5. production

Order Types

SAP Business One supports three types of production orders.

Standard Based on the bill of materials and used to produce a regular production item.

You manage material transactions of the regular production process. You can change components at the production stage.

When you open a new standard production order, all the components are filled in automatically.

Special Used to produce and repair items or to perform activities that are not necessarily bill of materials items, for example, repair orders for customer equipment cards or rejected assemblies. You create special production order components manually.

Disassembly Used to dismantle a parent item of the regular product into its child items. The separate parts can then be put into inventory and sold. For example, you can purchase a used car, take it apart, and sell the individual components.

Production Order Issue Methods

You issue component items using either the Manual or the Backflush method.

Manual You issue individual component items to the production order. This enables you to post components issued to a production order precisely when they are required in the production process. Backflush SAP Business One automatically issues item transactions for the needed component items (as defined in the Components tab) when a product is reported as completed.

Production Order Status

Planned SAP Business One initiates production orders with Planned status. Since the production order is not released to the shop floor for manufacturing:

You cannot yet issue items or report completion of the production order.

You can update the production order.

Released You change the production order to this status when you release it to the shop floor for production. At that stage:

You can report transactions for the production order and the issue of the components. You can update the component items as long as there are no transactions for the selected component. You can add a new component.

Closed The production order is Closed when you cannot add any new transactions to it. You close the production order when production is completed.

6. A phantom item is a sub-assembly in the BOM that does not actually exist in inventory. It is used to
simplify the BOM. Although the phantom item appears in the BOM, the Production Order will show the components needed to make the phantom item rather than the phantom item itself. An item can be defined as a phantom item in the Item Master Data.
