26. What is the difference between an operation-related and
order-related confirmation?a) Order confirmation is a confirmation
of the entire order at order header level and an Operation
confirmation allows you to confirm an order step by step.b) Order
confirmation is a confirmation of the entire order before sending
to production and operation confirmation is a step by step
confirmation of production orderc) Order confirmation is partial
confirmation of the order and operation confirmation is automatic
final confirmation of the orderd) Order confirmation requires a
goods receipt, operation confirmation does not require a goods
receiptAnswer: a
There are various procedures for confirmation in SAP ECC. Each
procedure implements different requirements that a company may
have. Depending on the application, one or more procedures may be
used. The procedures must be used to selected to suit the methods
of organization within your company and the allowed workload.For
the most part, the two main types are operation-related and
order-related confirmations. Order confirmation is a confirmation
of the entire order at order header level. An operation
confirmation allows you to confirm an order step by step. For this
type of confirmation, there are various procedures available. You
can carry out a confirmation for an order only if no confirmations
have already been entered for operations.
Each confirmation is entered with a status (partial
confirmation, final confirmation, automatic final confirmation).
Once an order has been confirmed, follow-on functions are
performed. The confirmed quantity, the status RUCK and actual costs
are written to the production order.
When an operation is confirmed, an automatic goods issue is
posted on the basis of the quantity that has been assigned the
material components (backflush). These material components must be
prepared for backflush posting and also be provided for use at the
work center.When you confirm the last operation that must be
confirmed (or for the operation where this posting is defined in
the control key), an automatic goods receipt is posted.Capacity
reduction is carried out either in proportion to the quantity or
activity. If a scrap or rework quantity is confirmed, a quantity
notification can be generated automatically.
27. What are the options for the material staging from a
warehouse management system? (more than one option is correct)a)
Create parts are ordered manuallyb) Release order parts are ordered
manuallyc) Pick parts are provided for the production order in
exactly the same quantity as the requirements quantityd) Release
order parts are ordered automaticallyAnswer: a, b &c
For the material staging from a warehouse management system,
there are three options for the production order. These options are
described here:
Pick parts are provided for the production order in exactly the
same quantity as the requirements quantity
Create parts are ordered manually when a crate is almost empty.
Typical examples are small parts in containers such as screws,
nails..
Release order parts are ordered manually: The required quantity
is calculated using the targe quantities of the components in the
selected released orders. Typical examples are laminates,
paints
28. Consider a product scenario where there is high product
stability, high repetition rates, and low product complexity. What
type of manufacturing do you suggest?a) Mass manufacturingb) Bulk
manufacturingc) Repetitive manufacturingd) Order based
manufacturingAnswer: c
To allow the material to be used in repetitive manufacturing,
you set the Repetitive Mfg indicator in the material master (in the
MRP view). This means that you can use the various production
versions of this material for repetitive manufacturing (that is,
you can set the indicator Repetitive Mfg allowed for version in the
production version.)
The BOM defines the planned material consumption for the
components. When you backflush components in repetitive
manufacturing, you can define the issue storage location from which
components are to be backflushed in the status/long text of the BOM
item (Production storage location field).
Production lines are usually created as simple work centers in
the ECC system. In the work center, you define the availability of
the production line. The production line created at the work center
is entered in the Production line field in the production version.
This same work center is specified in the single operation of the
routing. Production lines that have more than on work center can be
represented in a line hierarchy.
In repetitive manufacturing, the routing define the production
rate (quantity per time unit) used to produce materials on
production lines. The production quantities and their capacity
requirements are scheduled and calculated respectively according to
the production rate.
The routing therefore forms the basis of lead time of
scheduling. In repetitive manufacturing often have only one
operation. The total production rate of the line is specified in
this operation. It define how many materials per unit can be
produced on this production line. In the singe operation, you enter
the production line as the work center.
29. A distinctive feature of you company is a relatively
constant consumption of materials. For this reason, you want to
process the material flow to the work centers in production of your
company in an event-drive manner. Is there any possibility in
SAP?a) This is not possibleb) SAP-SCM KANBANc) SAP-SCM
REPLENISHMENTd) SAP-SCM PRODUCT STABILITYAnswer: b
The KANBAN procedure can be used together with all other
production types.In KANBAN, the material flow is organized using
containers that are kept directly at the appropriate work centers
in production. Each contains the quantity of material that work
center personnel need for a certain period of time. As soon as a
container is emptied by the demand source, replenishment is
initiated in KANBAN. The supply source of the required material can
be another place in production, an external vendor or a
warehouse.
The demand source can use material from other containers until
the actual container returns to full. The aim is to control the
replenishment process in production itself and to reduce the manual
posting efforts for personnel as much as possible. This
self-management process and the fact that replenishment elements
are created close to time they are actually consumed means that
stocks are reduced and lead times are shortened (replenishment is
only triggered when a material is actually required and not
before).
With KANBAN material is staged where it is used and is always
available in small material buffers. This means that material
staging does not need to be planned; instead, material that is
consumed is replenished immediately using KANBAN.
By using KANBAN with the SAP ECC system, you can automate the
transfer of replenishment data. For example, scanning the barcode
on a KANBAN card is sufficient to transfer the data required for
procurement and to post the goods receipt when the material is
received.
30. What is the industry standard that uses COM/DCOM technology
to define manufacturer-independent interfaces for the industrial
usage area?a) SAP COM/COM modelb) SAP OPCc) SAP OCOMd) SAP
OLEAnswer: b
SAP OPC Data Access (SAP ODA) enables the reading and writing of
data points and event using the OPC server of the ECC system. These
functions are also available with the production order
environment.
OPC stands for OLE for Process Control and Openness,
Productivity and Connectivity, and is an industry standard that
uses COM/DCOM technology to define manufacturer-independent
interfaces for the industrial usage area. The OPC standard was
designed especially for the process control level.
OPC servers enable you to access different data sources (for
example, process control systems, memory programmable controls,
temperature sensors) and thus provide process data which can be
requested by OPC clients.
SAP ECC with the component SAP ODA is an OPC server and client
that can communicate with OPC servers. This considerably simplifies
the data exchange between applications. OPC servers and OPC clients
are currently PC-based systems based on which Microsoft operating
system runs.
31. As a production manager how do you enable process operations
parallel to and independent of other operations?a) Parallel
sequencesb) Successor relationshipsc) Control sequencesd) Linked
sequencesAnswer: a
The parallel sequence enables you to process operations parallel
to and independent of other operations. You can copy both parallel
and alternative sequence types from the routing to the order.
Parallel sequences are linked to the standard sequence through
predecessor/successor relationships. Parallel sequences are a
special form of overlapping operations. This gives rise to
network-like structures. Order scheduling inserts operation floats
according to the alignment key specifications. In mechanical
engineering for assemblies involving the production of individual
components, inspection processes and preparatory and closing
operations.
In the chemical industry for analysis processes that are carried
out in parallel to the production process.
32. What is the difference between regenerative planning and net
change planning?a) Planning all materials from the planning file,
you can only plan materials for which planning file exists.b)
Planning all materials bases on demand, you plan all materials
bases on previous productionc) Planning all materials parallel,
planning all materials from previous planning filed) Planning all
material online, planning is carried out as a background jobAnswer:
a
Regenerative planning means you plan all materials from the
planning file. Net change planning means that you can only plan
materials for which planning file exists. This means that they have
undergone a change relevant to MRP within a restricted planning
horizon. You can only generate planning proposals within the
horizon. Planning is carried out online or as a background job.
Creation & Conversion of Planned Order in ECC
33. What is the report that collects all important information
about a work center or a hierarchy of work centers of a shift?a)
Shift reportb) Shift transfer reportc) Transfer reportd) Shirt work
center reportAnswer: a
The shift report is a document that is generated manually by the
production scheduler once data capture for the preceding shift has
been completed. The shift report is used for collecting all
important information about a work center or a hierarchy of work
centers of a shift. The shift report thereby facilitates shift
transfer.
The shift report consists of the following parts: Header data
and company logo Shift notes Confirmations (including activity
confirmations and goods movements) Maintenance notifications
Graphical evaluationsIn Customizing for the shift report, you
define which information you want to be part of the shift report
and which layout you want to use for the document.
You cannot change the shift report manually.
34. What is the indicator that controls whether a valuated or
non-valuated goods receipt should be made and on what are the
criteria that this indicator is dependent upon? (more than one
option is correct)a) The stock type indicatorb) The GR valuation
indicatorc) Material type of the product and account assignmentd)
Demand and SupplyAnswer: b & c
The Goods receipt indicator defines whether a goods receipt can
be posted once production has been completed.The proposal for
storage of goods receipt comes from material master (screen AV).
The stock type indicator defines the stock to which receipts from
production are to be posted. This can be the unrestricted use,
blocked stock or stock in quality inspection. The indicator can be
activated at different points: in the material master screen
(screen AV), in a production order or at the time of goods
receipt.
The GR valuation indicator controls whether a valuated or
non-valuated goods receipt should be made. This indicator depends
on the material type of the product and the account assignment of
the production order.
The Delivery Completed indicator specifies whether an order is
regarded as closed from the point of view of goods receipt. This
means that no further goods receipt will be expected for this
order.
35. Settlement in product cost controller is based on? (more
than one option is correct)a) Period-orientedb) Costs of the
product cost controllerc) Order settlementd) No settlement
ruleAnswer: a & b
In product-related costs object controlling, all costs are
debited and credited to a product cost controller. Individual
production orders do not have cost segments or settlement rules.
All functions in Production and Materials Management that are
relevant to costs( material withdrawal, confirmation, goods receipt
for the production order and goods receipt from production) are
executed on the basis of the production order.
All controlling functions (process cost allocation, overhead
allocation, WIP and variance calculation, settlement) are carried
out at the end of the period on the basis of product costs
collector. Thus, the relevant values are determined.
The current costs for a period comprise values for: The material
quantities delivered for the period according to the valuation
control of the goods receipt. The unfinished product s (WIP)
according to the status of the operations confirmed. Variances
(such a scrap) Settlement is a period-oriented based on the costs
of the product cost collector. In this case, there is no order
settlement for the individual production order. In this case the
production order does not have a settlement rule. It makes senses
to use product-related COC for the following: Make-to-stock
production Repetitive manufacturing and mass manufacturing Sales
order controlling only in Profitability Analysis
