Production Planning – Master Data (V1201) Page 1 Production Planning – Master Data Production Planning – Master Data (V1201) Page 2 Scenario Global Bikes Inc (GBI) was founded in 2001 following the merger of two bicycle manufacturers, one based in the US and the other in Germany. GBI has three lines of business: deluxe and professional touring bikes, men‟s and women‟s off-road bikes, and bike accessories. GBI sells its bikes to a network of specialized dealers throughout the world, and it procures its raw materials from a variety of suppliers globally. GBI has two manufacturing facilities, one in the US and one in Germany. It also has three additional warehouses, two in the US and one in Germany. GBI has more than 100 employees globally. The organization uses SAP ERP to support its processes. Organisational Units During the implementation of SAP R/3 once the business processes to be implemented are determined the next stage is to define the organisational units. Organisational units are areas of the company where various business processes are implemented. Different processes can use different organisational units. The organisational units used in Production Planning are Client, Company Code, Plant and Storage Location. Company Code A company code is an independent accounting unit. Balance sheet and profit and loss statements that are required by law are created at the company code level. In our scenario the company code will be US00. Plant A plant produces goods, renders services or makes goods available for distribution. It has attributes such as: Address Language Country Workday calendar In our scenario the plant will be identified by DL00. Storage Location Production Planning – Master Data (V1201) Page 3 A storage location defines where materials are stored. A plant could have more than one storage location. The storage locations in our scenario is FG00. A summary of the organisational units used in our scenario are illustrated below.

It is used by all of the Logistics components in the R/3 System such as purchasing, inventory management, materials planning, invoice verification, and so on. Information stored in the Material Master can describe the component as well as how it should be treated in the business processes. Materials with similar basic attributes are grouped together by material type. This means you can manage your materials according to their business requirements. Creating Material Master records We are going to define a new Finished Product, The Mongoose Mountain Bike with item code ORMG1### (Where ### is the last 3 digits of your SAP user id.) It is made from the following list of subassemblies (semi-finished products) and raw materials (These materials already exist in the Material Master): Item Code Material Description Material Type ORWA1### Wheel Assembly Semi-Finished Product OFFR1### Frame Semi-Finished Product DGAM1### Gear Assembly Semi Finished Product ORTR1### Tire Raw Material ORTB1### Tube Raw Material ORWH1### Aluminium Wheel Raw Material HXNT1### Hex Nut Raw Material LWSH1### Lock Washer Raw Material BOLT1### Socket Head Bolt Raw Material We will now create the Material Master record for the Mongoose bike. 01. Choose Logistics => Production => Master Data => Material Master => Material => Create (general) =>Immediately The Create Material (Initial Screen) appears. 02. Type the following information about the Finished Product: Material: ORMG1### where ### is the last 3 digits of your assigned userid (e.g. ORMG1053).

Press <ENTER> to accept the values. The Select Views dialog box is displayed (or click on the button on the Application Toolbar). In SAP, the information stored in the Material Master record is divided into different views so that a user can request to look at only the information that is of interest to him/her. Each user department has its own view of a material master record. For example, data that relates to the accounting department is stored in the accounting view and data that relates to material planning is stored in the MRP view. A view can extend to one or more screens. For example, the MRP view has several screens. 04. Click to select the following six views: Basic Data 1 Sales : Sales Org Data 1 Sales : Sales Org Data 2 Sales : General Plant Data General Plant Data/Storage 1 Accounting 1 05. Make sure that the “Create views selected” option is ticked, then Press <ENTER> to accept the views. Production Planning – Master Data (V1201) Page 6 06.
