1 Overview
The production scheduler uses the Further Processing Order object to control, monitor and enter pro-
duction as part of the output (e.g. for sausage production). This further processing order is based on a
Standard SAP production order.
Goods movements (e.g. goods receipt/issue) and individual operations are entered for this order. If
these operations are entered and completed in production terms, the production order is confirmed.
This action makes production progress transparent for further processing, material consumption and
work performed are saved, and surplus material reservations deleted.
Cycle of a production order
The further processing order has a twofold purpose: to control production and enter production in
terms of quantities and costs. Controlling production also involves supplying information about
which product should be manufactured in which quantity using which resources at which time. This
requires the definition of master data and control parameters. Based on the Routing and Bill of Material
(BOM) master data, the further processing order is basically broken down into:
— Header data, which contains organizational information such as the order number, costs, quan-
tities, and deadlines for the order as a whole.
— Operation data, which contains operation deadlines, Standard values, as well as confirmed
quantities and deadlines.
— Component data for the operations such as requirement quantity and reservation number.
If alternative or parallel sequences have been defined in the routing, they are displayed in the se-
quence overview.

2 Order Creation
Overview
Overview: Planning – production order – production
A further processing order is created when an order is created. The operations and material require-
ments are determined according to the master data (routing and bill of material). One essential step
in the order creation process is scheduling, which determines detailed operation deadlines. They are
required, for instance, for capacity requirements and material reservation. Once an order has been
created, an availability check can be carried out for both material components and capacity.
Production execution is initiated by order release. This changes the further processing order’s status
and provides the technical system requirement for the following steps: order printing, material with-
drawal for the components, confirmation, goods receipt, settlement, and completion. Once authori-
zation is given, another availability check can be carried out.
One operation that frequently results in a production order being created is the conversion of a
planned order, which is generally triggered by material requirements planning (MRP). However, you
can also create further processing orders interactively without any reference to a planned order.

The following requirements must be specified:
— Define order types
PP01 is generally used as the order type for further processing orders. However, you can also
use your own order types that you have defined.
— Define order type-dependent parameters
Type-dependent parameters are assigned at plant level to an order type (e.g. PP01). This is
where you determine the data that will affect the selection of master data or the input of order
master data.
— Define default values
This task involves you defining for each plant and order type the data that an operation should
include, which is automatically created when an order is created. When creating the order, you
can decide that an operation is created automatically if there is no routing available for the
material to be produced or there is no routing that you can select.
— Define scheduling parameters for production orders
This task involves you defining the scheduling parameters for production orders for each plant,
order type and production scheduler. This includes setting the scheduling levels (detailed, pro-
duction-rate and rough-cut scheduling), adjusting the deadline when deadlines are exceeded,
scheduling control for detailed scheduling, and reduction.
For information on these setting options, please refer to the SAP standard documentation and the
Process Data configuration guide.
The following requirements must be specified (master data):
— Valid production article (header material)
— Valid bill of material per production article
A bill of material contains the quantity of all the components, such as assembly, component
parts and raw materials, which are required to manufacture a finished product (header prod-
uct) or an assembly. The term “bill of material” is used in industrial sectors where production
is workpiece-based.
The following requirements may be specified (master data):
— Valid routing per production article
A routing determines how a workpiece or input material is turned from its raw state into its
finished or completed state. The routing comprises operations that are used to describe what
is being manufactured, how it is going to be manufactured, and using which materials. A work
center is assigned to an operation. A work center frequently provides the main capacity within

master planning, whereas personnel planning determines which employee with which qualifi-
cations can be usefully deployed at which types of work centers. The definition of a work cen-
ter also has an impact on the handling of cost and activity types in accounting and on payroll
accounting in the personnel department.
Please refer to the relevant Standard SAP documentation for further information about the bill of ma-
terial, routing, and work center.
The following requirement may be specified (excerpt):
— Material master view Further Processing
Field Name
Description
Double UoM
Unit of measure for double unit of measure management. There
are applications where materials need to be tracked in terms of
stock and movements using two units of measure that cannot be
converted into each other. In this instance, the quantities are
specified in the base unit of measure (e.g. kg) and in the double
unit of measure (e.g. piece).
For example, when inputting a further processing entry, the goods
issue (further processing input) involving neck steaks is posted to
a further processing order. The neck steaks are weighed in kg. The
neck steaks are entered using the double unit of measure piece.
The neck steaks are counted and the exact physical number of
neck steaks is entered. The ratio between kilograms and pieces
can vary from one day to the next.
Further proc. group
The further processing group is used as an additional selection cri-
terion when inputting further processing entries. You define a fur-
ther processing group and further processing group text for this.
Production version available
indicators
This indicates whether production versions are available for this
material.
Production Versions (Defini-
tion)
The production version determines the different methods of pro-
duction according to which material can be produced. It defines
the alternative BOM for the BOM explosion, the plan type, plan
group and the plan group counter for the assignment to plans, as
well as lot size restrictions and the area of validity. You can also
include a production version in the material master views MRP 2
and Work Scheduling.
Production Versions (Add.
Data)
This is used to define additional data for production versions.
Example
Assigning a data entry strategy for the production version.

2.1 Creating a Further Processing Order
Procedure
Call the Further Processing Order activity using one of the following options:
SAP Menu
Softproviding Meat > Production > Execution > Further Processing >
Further Processing Orders > Create
Transaction
CO01
You can use the following selection parameters to create an order:
Field Name
Description
Material
Material for which a further processing order is to be created. This
material generally has the material type FERT (finished) or HALB
(semi-finished).
Production plant
Plant where this material is being produced.
Planning plant
Plant where goods receipt takes place for the manufactured mate-
rial, after the order has been executed. If the producing plant and
planning plant are the same, the planning plant does not need to
be input again. The producing plant is automatically transferred.
For instance, the planning plant may be used if sales are to be or-
ganized as an independent plant.
Order type
The order type is split into production orders depending on its use
(e.g. disassembly, production, packaging, etc.) and includes a
whole load of management information that is vital to adminis-
tering production orders. The order type is client-specific. This
means that every order type can be used in every controlling area.
You can use the order type to define parameters that affect the ex-
ecution of the order. You can also use the order type to define the
number range provided for, the criteria to be used for selecting a
routing, or how the order costs should be calculated.
Order
Order number. You only input data in this field if an external num-
ber is assigned to the order type.
Order (template)
When you create a new order, you can copy and transfer the field
content from an existing order. You have the option of using the
following order objects to do this (Select order objects button):
— Operations
— Production resources/tools
— Trigger points
— Components
— Document links
— Execution steps
— Accounting rule

If a production scheduler or production activity control profile is defined in the Work Scheduling view in
the material master record of the material to be produced, depending on the parameters set in this produc-
tion activity control profile for creating or releasing the production order, automatic actions may be car-
ried out, such as scheduling and release or also the automatic creation of batches when creating or releas-
ing an order. Otherwise, scheduling and release or creating a batch should be performed manually.
Please refer to the relevant Standard SAP documentation for further information about production
orders.
Result
The production order that has been created and released is approved for further processing. This
means that it is active for executing the order and, therefore, also for entering goods movements in
the further processing entry (transaction /SPDGS/PDAON).
For further information about making further processing entries, please refer to the section “Further
Processing Entry” in the Process Data user documentation.
After the goods movements have been entered, any operations and activities in the routing are en-
tered when confirming the production order. Using the production order’s status administration will
also make production progress transparent.

2.2 Changing a Further Processing Order
A further processing order that has already been created can, if required, be partially amended retro-
actively. Reasons for this could be that master data, such as material masters, bills of material or rout-
ings have changed, but the further processing order still contains obsolete data. In this case, master
data can also be read.
Prerequisites
The following requirement must be specified:
— A further processing order that has already been created and, at best, already released.
Procedure
Call the Change Further Processing Orders activity using one of the following options:
SAP Menu
Softproviding Meat > Production > Execution > Further Processing >
Further Processing Orders > Change

If collective orders are used (assignment of planned orders or production orders via several manufac-
turing levels), there are additional selection parameters:
Field Name
Description
Order entered
This indicates that an individual order is to be processed as part of
a collective order. The order number entered indicates which or-
der is to be processed. This indicator is only considered if the order
entered is part of a collective order.
Order sub-tree
This indicates that a sub-tree is to be processed as part of a collec-
tive order. The order number entered indicates which sub-tree is
to be processed. This indicator is only considered if the order en-
tered is part of a collective order.
Collective order
This indicates that a complete collective order is to be processed.
This indicator is only considered if the order entered is part of a
collective order.

3.1 Confirmation and Closing
Individual Processing
On the one hand, the confirmation and closing of orders is possible directly in Further Processing En-
try. The Further Processing Entry function is called up within the Process Data Cockpit. In the order
overview, individual or, if necessary, multiple orders can be processed.
Regarding the confirmation and closing of orders, please compare the detailed description in the
chapter “Further Processing Entry” in the Process Data user documentation.
Mass Processing
In addition to this option of confirmation/closing as individual processing, a report developed specif-
ically for this purpose can also be used. This program /SPDGS/R_PP_CONFIRM_AND_END is espe-
cially suited for the mass processing of orders.
Start this program using one of the following options:
SAP Menu
Softproviding Core > Logistics > Process Data Acquisition > Pro-
cessing > Partially/Finally Confirm Production Orders.
Transaction
/SPDGS/CONFEND
After starting the transaction, selection parameters are offered for input:
Selection Parameters
These parameters are SAP fields that are generally known and therefore do not require any further
explanation.
Choose the selection parameters so as to obtain the desired selection result, e.g. narrowing down to:
— Production plant
— Material
— Order type (typically PP01)
Note
The Order type field is preset with the value 10 (PPS production order).
In addition to these fields, the following detailed settings (indicators) are possible for confirmation
and order closing:
