Exercise No. 24: Creation of a Production Order

Transfer the following verbal description into an EPC

a) The manufacturing department creates a production order by converting a "Planned Order" (if available) using the "Production Planning and Control" (PP) system. During the conversion process the basic data is created automatically.

b) Alternatively, the production order is created manually. In this case basic data (scheduling data, production order header data, quantity data) is entered manually.

c) Thereafter the system tries to determine the routing automatically. If the routing is available, then operation data (operation data and PRT) is transferred from the routing to the production order.

d) If the routing does not exist, then operation data is captured manually by the manufacturing department.

e) Thereafter the system automatically determines the BOM. If the BOM exists, the components are transferred to the production order. Otherwise then the components are entered manually.

f) Alternatively, the components may be transferred from the planned order, if the BOM has not been determined.

g) Then the manufacturing department reviews the production order data and the system schedules the production order. Finally the production order is saved.
