Dear Experts
We seek to guide us with your expertise for the problem where the production confirmation for each batch is not displaying the correct work center.
Scenario:-
The finished goods have only one operation i.e. SAWING.However there are 4 work centers .
The Finished Goods has work centers SAW1, SAW2, SAW3, andSAW4. These work centers are mapped by creating alternative routings. Every
routing is assigned to each work center.
The combination of the BOM and routing is assigned mapped by production version.
The production Process is governed by MES (Manufacturing Execution System). The confirmation is followed by Batch creation. This is
carried out in MES system , The data flowing from MES to SAP in accordance to the batch and the corresponding work centers . Thus the
The production carried out for Sales order item through multiple batches. The production of each individual batch is carried out at an individual work center (i.e. SAW1, ….)
Problem summary
The production execution is carried out in batches (Batch Management). Each batch is produced at individual work center.
Example For a sales order item, the order quantity is 10 Tons and had 10 Batches. Thus every batch is produced at individual work center. The work centers are selected randomly for every batch based upon the availability. Thus Sales order may have partial quantities produced on different work centers.
Once the Confirmation is carried out, the production is mapped in MES, and then the production information of each bundle flows from MES to SAP. The information received from MES is in form of XML message, has the batch and the corresponding work center.
The problem is SAP fails to map the individual Work Center for every batch. The production version picks the first work center in accordance to the first batches .For the successive batch the work centers. The system fails to map the individual work centers for the successive batches.
This leads to incorrect mapping and thus causes the wrong work center data in the system.
Expectation
They system should map the correct work centers for every batch in line with the information sent from MES
I will be very for your kind suggestions.
Thanks & regards
