A Step-by-Step Guide to the SAP PP Shop Floor Control Configurations
Objective The objective of this paper is to provide the SAP PP consultant with a step-by-step guides at configuring the SAP PP Shop Floor Control module. It is structure in the form of howto-do configurations method. When you do the SAP configuration, sequence is not really important as long as all the PP Shop Floor Control modules Features that need to be used have been configured. Notes: Initial IMG Action : Required (this are dynamic data which are unique to the company) Initial IMG Action : Usually Not required (it depends on the customer requirement) Initial IMG Action : Not required (normally this kind of configuration is quite static, most of the customer will accept the SAP default and may request for changes after going live for a period of time)

An Overview of the SAP Production Orders As the name implies, Production Orders is a work processes that a company uses to produced the Finished Goods that the Customer Need. In the Production Orders, the Production Planner (after finding out from the Production staff) will define the raw materials, semi-finished materials required to be processed (Bills of Materials), at which location, at what time, how much work is required and the work sequence that need to be carried out (Routing). It also defines which resources are to be used and how the costs are to be settled. The Materials Requirement Planning will generate a Planned Orders from the Customer Sales Orders or a Company-Internal Requirement (known as Planned Independent Requirement for Orders that are not firmed). The Planned Orders will be reviews by the Production Planner who will decide whether to convert the Planned Orders into Production Orders and then RELEASE it for actual Production. A firm SAP Production Order will contains information such as: What is to be produced. When the Actual Production will take place. Which Machine or Labour capacity to used to process the Order. How much will it cost to produce the Finished Goods? In the SAP system, a Production Orders can be created in the following methods: Convert from the Planned Orders generated by the SAP MRP system. Using an assembly order. Creating it manually from the SAP system. Once a Production Order is created, the system will perform the following actions: Select the Routing that contains the operations and sequences and copy it to the Production Order. The Bill of Materials is exploded and the items in the BOM are transferred to the Production Order. Reservations are created for those Bill of Materials Item held in stock. The planned costs for the Production Order are generated. The Capacity requirements are generated for the work centers define in the Routing. The Purchase Requisitions are generated for non-stock items and externally processed operations. The Master data for the Routing and BOM will only be copy once during the Production Order creation UNLESS you click the Re-COPY functions (CO02 – Functions – Read PP Master Data). Any further changes done to the Production Order for the Routing and BOM etc. will ONLY affect the Production Order and vice versa. Therefore, don’t be surprised if you found that the Original Routing and BOM structure to be difference with the one in the Production Order as users have the right to change it, if necessary. @ www.sap-img.com

The Bills of Materials in relation to the Shop Floor Production Order As you know, a bill of material is a complete structure list of the components (or raw material/semi-finished) that make up a product (Finished Good). In SAP, you create the BOM level by level with Tcode “CS01”. The system can cater for different type of BOM (referring to the different modules of SAP). For production you’ll choose BOM usage 1. This BOM will be copied into the Production Order whenever a new Order is created.
As you can see after you enter the screen, you define the BOM level by level.

Page 7 of 79
SAP Version 4.6c
A Step-by-Step Guide to the SAP PP Shop Floor Control Configurations Now, let us look at a simple example: FERT requires the raw materials RAW 1 and semi-finished goods SEMI. SEMI requires the raw materials RAW 1 and RAW 2. Therefore, you’ll define two single BOM with Tcode CS01. The SAP system automatically LINK the Multi-level BOM structure for you. Now, when a user create a Production Order for FERT, two different Production Order will be created. One for FERT, and the other for SEMI. The reason is because FERT and SEMI requires different manufacturing process to be completed. FERT
RAW 1
SEMI
RAW 1
RAW 2
You can used Tcode CSMB to view the Multi-level BOM. Click the button Start the Material BOM Browser.
The system will quickly find the BOM relationship automatically for you.

Start of the SAP Production Order Configurations The SAP PP modules is closely related to the Controlling modules which takes care of the Costing for the Production Order. Therefore, a PP consultant will have to work closely with the CO consultant and try your best to learn how Cost is being calculated for the Production Order.
Define the Production Order Types Initial IMG Action : Required In this configuration, you need to find out from your FICO consultant which Settlement Profile (under the Cost Controlling section) are you using although most of the time the default standard SAP profile PP01 is used. You have to assign every Production Order to an order type. An order type contains control information that you need for managing orders. Most customers will request more Production Order Types to differentiate the different Production Order for report analyzing purpose. For e.g. PPRW – Rework Production Order PPPT – Trial Run Production Order etc… To create New Order Type, copy it from the Standard Order Type “PP01”. Listed below are all the transaction for each New Order Type that you need to create. All these configurations will be copied to the Production Order in transaction code “CO01” when the user create the production order. Transaction : Menu Path : IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Master Data – Order – Define OPLH Order Types IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Master Data – Order – Define OPL8 order type-dependent parameters IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Operations – Availability OPJK Check – Define Checking Control IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Operations – Confirmations – OPK4 Define Confirmations Parameters (this will determine whether confirmation is allow for this Order Type) IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Operations – Scheduling – OPU3 Define Scheduling Parameters for Production Orders IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Master Data – Order – Define CO82 number ranges for order (if different number range are required for different Order Type)

SAP Version 4.6c
A Step-by-Step Guide to the SAP PP Shop Floor Control Configurations In the Production Order type, you define the following: CO (Controlling) partner update You can specify whether a totals record is to be written per order if a CO partner object (for example, a cost center) is assigned to an order of this order type. This indicator is used to reduce the number of totals records and thus the storage capacity needed in the database. Order classification Here, you specify whether orders of this order type are to be taken into account in classification for order summarization and the order selection. Order residence time Find out from the user how long completed orders are left in the SAP System before they are archived. Reorganizing an object (e.g. order, project) normally requires three steps: 1. Setting the delete flag (can be reset) 2. Setting the final deletion indicator (cannot be reset) 3. Reorganizing (writing the object to a sequential dataset and physically deleting it from the system) Residence time 1 determines the time interval (in calendar months) that must elapse between setting the delete flag (step 1) and setting the deletion indicator (step 2). If you leave this field blank, you can still archive the Production Order using the Archive Management transaction SARA – Object Name - PP_ORDER Settlement Profile (IMG – Controlling – Product Cost Controlling – Cost Object Controlling – Product Cost by Period – Period-End Closing – Settlement – Create Settlement Profile) Find out from the FICO consultant which settlement profile are you using to settle this Order Type. Collective order with goods movement This indicator controls whether goods movements can take place for production orders that are linked to a collective order. Status Profile Management An order can go through several processing statuses. Among other things, the status controls which business transactions are allowed in the order. Number Range General SAP have pre-assign the number range. If you want to change it, you can re-assign it to a new number range for each new order type. Transaction : Menu Path : IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Master Data – Order – Define Order Types OPJH Double click on the Production Order Types to reach the definition screen.

The order categories are predefined in the SAP System and characterize the technical properties of the orders. Click the Number range general button to assign a different number range to each order type. Refer to the section on Define Number Range if you need to assign a Number Range for the Production Order Type. You’ll notice that the IMG for the Production Order type is quite straights forward.

How to configure the Production Order User Status? A user status is activated by the user and can be created as an addition to the existing system status. You can define and activate any number of user statuses. To define a user status, you need to have created a status profile, which is created per order type in Customizing. You can activate any number of status in a production order. The steps to configure the User Status: 1. First create a Status Profile. Transaction : Menu Path : IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Master Data – Order – Define Status Profile BS02 Click the Create button and type the followings:
2. Type in the followings User status and Click the Object types button to assign the corresponding to the status profile. This means that User Status 1 will be active first, then follows by the next 2 User Status.

On the Line Item Release, you click Allowed and Set button. This means that On Release of the Production Order, the status will changed to 2. Restrict the Business Transaction To restrict any Business Transaction on a particular User Status, scroll down to the Business transaction line item and click Disallowed and No action. Upon User Status 3, which is the Complete Process, you can tick Disallowed for those Business transaction that you do not want the user to do.
5. Finally, assign the New Created Status Profile to the Production Order Type (OPJH). For this demo, we assign it to the Production Header.

Where-is the Production Order Type used? Users have to choose the Production Order Type in order to create a Production Order in transaction CO01 and the configuration will be copied to the Production Order.
Define the Production Order Type-dependent Parameters Initial IMG Action : Required For each Production Order Type, you can define their unique IMG behavior. For eg. whether this Order Type allow automatic or manual selection of Production Version. Transaction : OPL8
Menu Path : IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Master Data – Order – Define order type-dependent parameters
Double click on the Production Order Types to reach the definition screen.
You define the parameters that are valid for each order type and plant. The parameters are split up as follows on the tab pages:

Planning Tabstrips Master data For you to define the data that influences master data selection or order master data maintenance: Production Version You can decide whether production versions are selected automatically or manually. For manual production version, you can change the Production Versions in MRP 4 screen in MM02. Click on the ProdVersions then click the Details. For e.g. here you can set validity dates for the version or you can also set lot sizes. Based on the quantity of the order, a certain version will be picked. Or, the version will be picked if it falls in the date range. Routing Application The task list application is predefined as 'P'. However, you can also specify an additional task list application. Selection ID The routing selection ID defines, for example, the ranking order for routing selection. Routing selection defines whether routings are to be selected and if so, how (manually or automatically) and whether reference operation sets can also be selected. Sequence exchange Alternative sequences and sequence exchange define whether alternative sequences are permitted and how the sequences are to be exchanged. Task list type The task list type defines which routing type is permitted for production orders. Operation dtl check Operation dtl check defines whether operation detail screens are to be checked when the operations are transferred to the order. Routing text Routing text defines that the text from the routing header is copied into the order. Operations Entry/tool You can activate the entry tool for operations to help you when you create operations. Increment for automatic operation/activity numbering Increment used when operations or activities are automatically numbered. Reduction strategy per operation/activity Key which specifies the strategy for reducing the lead time of an operation or activity (PS). For each reduction strategy you can define up to six reduction levels. BOM application BOM application defines how the BOM alternatives are to be automatically selected. (point to the configuration OPJM – Define Applications)

Implementation Tabstrips Status change documents Here, you define whether you want change documents to be written if a status change occurs. You also define the level at which the change documents are to be written. A status change document contains the following: which status has been changed who changed the status whether the status has been activated or deactivated the transaction in which the status change has been carried out In the production order , you can define the status at the following levels: order header level operation level material component level production resource/tool level Status change documents can also be defined independently of each other, at each of these four levels. Note: If you have defined these parameters such that status change documents are written for a particular order level, the SAP System only writes a status change document for a status change from this point in time if the order (or operation/component/PRT) has been created since the status change documents have been activated. Please take note that SAP does not keep track of every Fields changes done to the Production Order. Shop Floor Information System You can specify, for example, whether order data is to be stored in the Shop Floor Information System. The user can then generate reports using transaction COOIS for example, by materials, orders and work centers. Documentation of goods movements Here, you can specify that goods movements are to be documented with reference to an order. Then you can display goods movements, for example, using the order information system (Tcode COOIS). You can enter a profile for displaying documented goods movements on the tab page "Display profiles". PDC PDC active allows data to be exchanged with a PDC system. Workflow Workflow for PO chg. defines that a workflow is generated when quantities or dates that affect existing purchase orders are changed in the order. In addition, a default rule for the split is displayed on this screen. So that this indicator is also valid for production orders the appropriate settings must be made in Customizing for the Project System. Progress confirmation in orders You can determine that progress values are calculated for order progress reports. @ www.sap-img.com

Controlling Tabstrips Controlling Here, you define the parameters relevant to controlling, such as, for example, costing variants for planned and actual costs and a results analysis key. Controlling To set the Costing Variants (The costing variant refers to a valuation variant) IMG - Production - Shop Floor Control – Order Costing - Define Costing Variants Costing variant for planned costs Key that specifies which costing variant is used to determine the planned costs. Use Product Cost Collector as Cost Object Specifies whether the costs are collected on a manufacturing order, (production order, process order), or product cost collector. Costing variant for actual costs Key that specifies the costing variant that is used to determine the actual costs. Results Analysis Key Key that defines the valuation of the order during period-end closing. Cost Collector - Indicator: Determine plan costs: 1/2/3 Determines whether planned costs are automatically calculated when you save the network. Net Order Price - Ind.: Copy net price from requisition into purchase order Indicator which specifies that the net price cannot be changed when copied over from the purchase requisition into the purchase order. Distribution rule Default rule Default (distribution) rule defines an automatically generated distribution rule for CO settlement.

Define Checking Control Initial IMG Action : Usually Not required Normally, companies will used the same checking rule for all the Production Order Type. The following are the purpose of defining the checking rule: whether an availability check is to be carried out when you create or release an order whether an availability check is to be carried out when you save an order that has been created or released which checking rule is to be used what effect a material shortfall is to have on the creation or release of an order Transaction : OPJK
Menu Path : IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Operations – Availability Check – Define Checking Control
Here, you define the check control. The checking rule together with the checking group specify the scope of the check. The checking rule as well as the actual check itself dependent on the following parameters: • plant • order type • business functions – this control whether the check is done during production order 1 – Order Creation or 2 – Order Release Control parameters for the Business functions 'create' In addition to this, you can specify whether a planned order can be converted to a production order or process order using collective conversion in the case of: • missing parts • missing PRTs or • insufficient capacity 'release' control parameters for Business functions In addition, you can control whether an order can be released in the case of • missing materials • missing PRTs • insufficient capacity

Define Confirmation Parameters Initial IMG Action : Usually Not required Here, you define the confirmation parameters for each plant and order type. This affect the user confirmation transaction screen CO11N – Enter time ticket for production order. The parameters are split up as follows on tab pages. Generally valid settings Control data • The properties of the control key Process control are defined elsewhere in Customizing (it can also be called using the symbol next to the control key). It controls the execution of the confirmation processes. • You can define how quantities are determined for automatically generated confirmations (milestone/progress confirmation). Page 25 of 79 SAP Version 4.6c @ www.sap-img.com
A Step-by-Step Guide to the SAP PP Shop Floor Control Configurations Checks Using checks you can define • what happens when the sequence of operations is not adhered to during confirmation For e,g, there are two operations 10 follows by 20, user tried to confirm operation 20 first before 10, if you configure as an Error, system will not allows it to happened. or what happens when you want to confirm a larger quantity than was confirmed for the preceding operation You can choose between a termination message, an error message, a warning message and an information message. • whether you want the total confirmed quantity of an operation checked for underdelivery or overdelivery tolerance in the order header • what effect a QM result recording has on the confirmation. • whether dates (for example, posting date, end of lead time, etc) should also be displayed with a date that is further in the future than the time of creation HR Update You can decouple HR and PP with the No HR update indicator. • Selection You specify that only open orders are selected in the collective order. • Propose time units You can select a time unit that is to be proposed during confirmation. • Goods movements Using the all components indicator, you can specify that the system should display all the components assigned to the operation in the goods movement overview (in other words, not only backflushed components). However, if you do not branch to the material overview at confirmation, the system only posts backflushed components. General individual entry Confirmation function except fast entry You can define here whether a partial confirmation, a final confirmation or a final confirmation with clearing of open reservations is to be proposed for the confirmation. Error handling/logs You can use the indicator Actual costs to specify that the log is also displayed if there are no error messages (thus only warnings or information messages). You can use the Error handling indicator to specify that an error log is displayed for incorrect items in goods movements (for backflush or automatic goods receipts). You then have another opportunity to correct the items with errors before saving, with the aid of the material overview. Operation indiv. entry using initial scrn Tabsrtips Propose data to be confirmed You can have the system propose the open confirmation data for entry. For the quantities and activities, the SAP System proposes the difference between the standard values and the confirmed values. Otherwise, the standard values are proposed as confirmation data. Display confirmed data/display standard values You can have the system display both the confirmed data and the standard values for information purposes. Screen control time ticket @ www.sap-img.com

Define Scheduling Parameters for Production Orders Initial IMG Action : Usually Not required Here, you define for each plant, order type and production scheduler the parameters for scheduling production orders. This comprises maintaining • scheduling levels (detailed, production-rate and rough-cut scheduling) • date adjustment when dates are exceeded • date control for detailed scheduling • reduction The parameters are described in what follows in details: In detailed-, rate-based and rough-cut scheduling you define for every scheduling level • how production dates are to be calculated • whether capacity requirements are generated • which routing is the basis for scheduling If a production version exists in the material master then the routing is selected using this version. If no version exists for a scheduling level then a routing is selected according to the selection ID that you have given for the scheduling level. In Adjust dates you specify whether and how the basic dates are adjusted to the production dates (for example, when deadlines are exceeded) and how dates for dependent requirements are to lie. In Scheduling control for detailed scheduling you specify the control parameters for detailed scheduling, among other things the scheduling type (most manufacturing companies will used the Backwards Scheduling where the system will calculate bottom up from the lowest BOM level to determine the Basic Start date required by the Production Order for producing the Finished Product). Start date in the past Here you specify how many days an order may lie in the past before today scheduling is triggered. Automatic scheduling Here you specify whether scheduling is carried out automatically on saving. Automatic log Here you specify whether the log is displayed automatically on scheduling. Latest date f. material Here you specify where the required date of a component should be with respect to an operation. Scheduling with break Here you specify that the exact time a break occurs must be taken into account. From production dates Here you specify that when you create or change an order the user must enter schedules dates (production dates) instead of basic dates. Shift order Here you specify whether the order can be moved if partially confirmed operations exist. Reduction type @ www.sap-img.com

A Step-by-Step Guide to the SAP PP Shop Floor Control Configurations • •
whether in the order or in the collective order all the operations are to be reduced or only those along the critical path. Reduction along the critical path is only possible for networks, production orders and planned orders with parallel sequences and for collective orders that contain production orders or planned orders. Maximum Reduction level up to which maximum reduction level the reduction takes place % reduction in floats to what percentage the float before and after production in every reduction level is to be reduced.
Note that scheduling is always carried out for all scheduling levels that you have specified. For example, if you make changes in the order that are relevant to scheduling (basic dates, quantities) and schedule it again then scheduling is carried out not only for detailed planning but also for production-rate and rough-cut planning. This is very performance-intensive because data must be read from the database. Therefore it is recommended that you only maintain levels relevant to scheduling. Whereas you can choose between several scheduling types for detailed scheduling, rough-cut and production-rate scheduling always use backward scheduling. Reductions are also only relevant for detailed scheduling. Transaction : OPU3
Menu Path : IMG – Production – Shop Floor Control – Operations – Scheduling – Define Scheduling Parameters for Production Orders
Define the scheduling parameters for production orders. When finished, you can test the scheduling parameters by creating a Production Order with transactions “CO01”.

Preparing the Initial Implementation of the PP Shop Floor Control Module Before the live-implementation of the SAP system, there will be a cut-off day to turn-on from the OLD to the NEW SAP system. The PP Shop Floor Control module is one of the most important module although it belongs to the last process flow because the Production Floor will based on the Production Order Generated to produce the Finished Goods for the Customer. As a PP consultant, you have to inform the users that they have to get those CRITICAL data into the system before going live. Work Center Master Bills of Materials Master Routing Master Remember that when the user create a new Production Order, the system will READ from the BOM and Routing Master. Take note that the Master data can be input into the SAP system even BEFORE going live as long as there are no transaction postings such as Production Confirmation which will impact the Financial figures. Normally, in an on-going business, there will be existing OPEN non-SAP Production Order. You must let the EVERYONE know that as the days come nearer to the implementation date, they must try to keep the OPEN non-SAP Production Order quantity just enough to be CLOSE before going live. For e.g. if the ACTUAL production quantity is 10,000 and they estimate that they can only complete 3,000 by the time of the Implementation, they should only CREATE the production order to produce 3,000 only. The other 7,000 should only be created AFTER going live on the NEW SAP system. How about those Process Incomplete Production Order? In a manufacturing environment, Division of Labor means Jobs are separated in stages as to achieve maximum Productivity. There are certain cases of Incomplete Production Process where 3,000 was completed in Process 1. When it reaches Process 2, only 1,000 can be completed. In this case, the user still have to close the non-SAP Production Order and RE-OPEN a new SAP Production Order for the remaining 2,000 for Process 2. They have to take note of the difference either on the non-SAP Production Order or as a Text note on the SAP Production Order. Production Floor users are also recommended to return all those additional raw materials to the Inventory Stores. This will aid in the accuracy of the Physical Stock count. They can then re-draw the raw materials after going-live.

Static versus dynamic data conversion In general, data could be classified as begin either static or dynamic data. Static data includes items that are relatively stable such as vendor master, material master, BOM, routing, work centers, customer master, price agreement, material group, activity prices, cost centers etc. Dynamic data includes items such as inventory balances, A/R balances, A/P balances, GL balances, Open Production Orders, Open Sales Orders, Open Purchase Orders and Planned Independent Requirements. In general, we will have lots of time to convert the static data but insufficient time to rush the dynamic data into the system. This is because dynamic data must be converted with a clear cut-off date. This means that the balances must be that of the same point in time in order to ensure the integrity of data. Where the volume of data in relation to the number of end users is high, we will consider automating the conversion, provided that data is available from the old system. If the volume is low or if data is not available from the present system, users should key the data directly into SAP. This approach has an added and important benefit of training the end users in the operation of the SAP system.
A Sample Note to users regarding the Uncompleted Production Orders This is the most complex area for conversion. We must take the following step to minimize the number of uncompleted production orders. Three weeks before the cut-over date, all un-started and newly created production orders will be marked with a special color code. A bold instruction “Do not record component issue and labor cost until completion” will be stamped on these production orders. We will withhold the recording of material issues and production activities in the Old System and related systems if the production orders are color coded. If the production orders are completed and need to be received into stores before the cut-over date, we will then enter the component issue and labor activity to the production orders before the goods receipts of the finished product. If the production orders are not completed before the cut-over date, we will manually create the production orders in SAP and enter the confirmation in SAP. Material issue will be performed in the SAP after the cut-over date. If stock take of raw material take place on the cut-over date, we must take care to add back the raw materials which issue has been withheld. For the purpose of general ledger, we will manually compute an accrual and reversal entry to ensure that proper cut-off are observed for accounting purposes. The entry to put through to FY19XX in the old GL system prior to its conversion is to Dr WIP, Cr Raw Material (for the material component) and to Dr WIP Cr Manufacturing cost for the labor component. The reversal entry for FY19YY should be Dr Raw Material Cr WIP (for the raw material component) and Dr WIP Change account Cr WIP for the labor component. @ www.sap-img.com

Appendix A: The Production Order Status Business Process Flow The Production Order Status refer to the business process flow of the current Production Order. This is a way for the system to control the different activities of the user on the Production Order. An example of a Production Order Business Process Flow: 1. A Planner User convert the Plan Order to a Production Order, the initial status will be CRTD. The status CRTD means that this order is not firm for Production. 2. The Production User will not be able to Print Out the Production Order until the Planner User Release it which will change the status to REL. 3. The Planner User Release the Production Order (CO02 – Functions – Release) and the Production User will be able to print out the Production Order (CO04N) for actual Production. After printing the Shop Floor Paper, the order will include the status PRT to inform the user that this order have been printed. 4. Actual Production started and upon completion the Production User will input the Production information which they have collected and written on the Shop Floor Paper into the SAP system. This is called Production Confirmation (CO11). An Order which is partially completed, will include the status PCNF. Once it is Fully completed, the status will change to CNF. 5. A fully completed production order means that the materials has turned into a Finished Product which is really to be ship to the Customer. The Delivery User will receive the fully completed Production Order (which is the Finished Product - MB31) into his warehouse and he can then delivered it to the customer. Finally, the status will include DLV which means that the whole Production Order process have been completed. 6. In cases where the Production Order was stopped due to the Customer Order Cancellation, the Production User can closed the Order by setting the status to TECH (CO02 – Functions – Restrict Processing – Technically Complete).

Appendix B: How to make enquiry on Open Production Orders? Transaction : COOIS
SAP Menu Path : Logistics – Production – Production Control – Information System - Production Order Information System
The default enquiry is by Order Headers. You can make enquiry by Operations if you want to by changing the List Profile. To list the Open Production Orders, make used of the System Status and exclude all status with CNF (Confirmed) and DLV (Delivered).

Appendix C: What is Backflushing and Where is the Indicator Set? In SAP context, Backflushing means to consumed those Materials that have been used during the course of the Manufacturing Process. To produce something, raw materials may be required. With reference to the Bill of Materials, the Purchaser will buy those materials based on the requirement prompt by the SAP MRP system. Upon finishing the Manufacturing Process, raw materials will be used up to produced the Finished Goods for the Customer. The Planner will determined at which Production Operation will this components be consumed and set the Backflushing indicator accordingly. To set the Backflushed Indicator: Transaction : SAP Menu Path : Logistics – Production – Master Data – Routings – Routings – Standard Routings – Create/Change CA01/CA02 Assuming that you have built the BOM and input the Work Center for each Operations. This is the first screen when you enter CA02. Now, click the CompAlloc button.
At the CompAlloc screen, you will see the Backflushing Indicator. A tick will indicate that the Components will be deducted when the Production User do the Production Confirmation. If the Backflushed Indicator is grey, this mean that Backflushing have not been assigned. To assigned it, click the New assignment button.
A New assignment screen will pop-up. Just input the Operations that you want the Components to be Backflushed. When the Planner create a Production Order, the system will read the Routing Master data and copied all this information to the Production Order.

Ultimately, it still the Production Order will decide which Operation will the Components be Backflushed. At the First Screen in CO01/CO02 – Production Order Create/Change, click the Components Overview button.
The Backflushed Indicator will be copied from the Routing but the Planner still can changed it in the Production Order.
