Exciting news coming to you in the area of manufacturing with the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2502.1 Release. The new app Review Order Progress - Multilevel View (F7681) is finally here.
What is the Purpose of this App?
With this app, you can review the progress of a selected sales order, production order, or process order. The app displays a multilevel view of all relevant component requirements and their receipt elements, as well as additional information, for example, about shortages or other issues that might occur for each component.
This app is contained in the business catalog Production Planning - MRP Cockpit (SAP_SCM_BC_MRPCOCKPIT_MC).
Summary of key Features
This app provides the following key features:
Display the component requirements and receipt elements, as well as all associated requirements and receipts for the selected order on multiple levels of the order structure. Supported order types include sales order, process order, or production orders.
Check the progress of production or procurement for a particular order. Check whether there are shortages or other issues with meeting requirements for any component at any level.
Show the delay of a specific component, referred to as the component delay. It also shows the total delay of an order. The total delay is calculated based on a proposed requirement date for each component. This date takes into account the requirement date of the selected order as well as different scheduling parameters, for example, the planned delivery time or in-house production time of superordinate components.
Navigate to other apps for further processing or monitoring from the material, requirement element or receipt element, for example, Manage Material Coverage, Display Material Stock, Display Sales Order, Display Planned Order, Change Planned Order, or Display Purchase Requisition.
Export the component structure with all relevant information into a Microsoft Excel file.
How do I use this app?
Your Entry Point - Header Level
You start at header level to specify all filter parameters. Indicated with a red star are all mandatory filter fields:
Document Selection
You can specify, enter or select the order type & number of the sales order, production order, or process order that you want to display:
For Sales orders, simply type the order number directly into the input field or use the value help.
For Process or Production Orders, open the value help dialog and select the Process and Production Order search template.
You can then search for your document and select it from the results list
Search
First you can enter an exact search term or use the generic search by just entering part of the term.
The results list includes all possible matches for the following columns:
- Material
- Plant
- MRP Controller
Issues Only
You can use the filter Issues Only to display the order structure only for those components for which issues have been identified:
Select Yes to restrict the displayed order structure to those components that have identified production or procurement issues, including their superordinate components.
Select No to display the complete order structure including all components, regardless of whether they have issues.
Order Component Level
Once you have filtered the order structure the action happens on the order component level. Let's look at the information you can gain.
Material
The column displays the material number and description of the components that are included in the Bill - of - Material (BOM) in the selected order. If a component is included multiple times within the Bill - of - Material (BOM), for example, if it is required for several sub-components, this column includes multiple entries for the same material.
The material components are displayed in a multilevel view to indicate the structure of the Bill - of - Material (BOM) in the selected order. Requirement and receipt information including coverage issues are displayed for each component.
When you use a special planning procedure for materials, as defined in the material master data, the materials may not display in the order tree. For instance, consider the MRP Type ND. This MRP type stands for "No Planning". In such cases, the materials aren't displayed in the order tree.
From the Material Number column, you can also open a quick view for each component to access additional information such as material details, MRP data, stock and shortage information.
Issues
This column displays the number of issues and warnings that were detected for each requirement included in the selected order, as well as their criticality. It also indicates whether issues exist on the subordinate structure levels of each component.
The system detects the following issues and indicates their criticality, using different colors and icons:
Warnings (non critical issues) are shown in yellow:
- Opening Date in the Past - The opening date of a receipt element occurs in the past.
- Start Date in the Past - The basic start date of a receipt element occurs in the past.
Errors (critical issues) are shown in red:
The errors can be the following:
- Finish Date in the Past (The basic end date or the delivery date of a receipt element occurs in the past):
- Reschedule In
- A receipt should be rescheduled to an earlier date to avoid a material shortage.
- Check if it is possible to bring forward (reschedule in) the availability date for the receipt in the Manage Material Coverage app.
- Coverage not Provided by Master Plan
- There is insufficient coverage because a planned receipt does not cover the required quantity at all or it covers the required quantity only partially.
You can click the icon to access a list of all detected issues for a selected component and to sort them by criticality (error / warning). To access a list of all issues that exist for an order, click the icon that is displayed for the top-level node of the structure. The number displayed within this icon indicates the sum of all errors and warnings that were detected for the order.
Requirement Element
This column displays the requirement elements that exist for each material component.
If more than one requirement exists for a material within an order, a separate row is displayed for each requirement element.
The comparison of requirement and receipt elements helps to analyze the demand and supply situation for each material component. The following types of requirement elements can be included in the table:
- CusOrd (Sales Order)
- DepReq (Dependent Requirement)
- OrdDS (Release of Stock Transfer Order)
- OrdRes (Dependent Reservation)
- PRqRel (Release of Stock Transfer Requisition)
You can click on a requirement element to open a quick view with more detailed information or to navigate to other apps for information about related objects or further processing. For example, you can access the Display Sales Order, Display Planned Order or Change Planned Order apps using the Related Actions link in the quickview.
Proposed Requirement Date
Shows the date at which the required quantity of each component needs to be on hand to make sure the selected order can be fulfilled on time.
To determine this date, the system considers the requirement date of the selected sales order, process order, or production order as well as different scheduling parameters that are defined in the material master data.
The proposed requirement date helps you determine whether a specific component is actually required earlier or later than the date specified in its requirement document. To calculate it, the system uses the requirement date of the selected order and additionally considers different scheduling parameters, depending on the procurement type of each component material:
- For components with a superordinate component that is procured externally, the system subtracts the goods receipt processing time in working days and the planned delivery time in calendar days from the proposed requirement date of the superordinate component. The resulting date is the proposed requirement date for the selected component.
- For components with a superordinate component that is produced in-house, the system subtracts the goods receipt processing time and the in-house production time in working days from the proposed requirement date of the superordinate component. The resulting date is the proposed requirement date for the selected component.
Requirement Date
The requirement date comes from the documents itself, e.g. from the requirement date of a sales order:
Receipt Element
This column displays the receipt elements that exist for each requirement of a material component.
The comparison of requirement and receipt elements helps to analyze the demand and supply situation for each material component. The following types of receipt elements can be included in the table:
- PldOrd (Planned Order)
- POitem (Purchase Order Item/ Stock Transport Order Item)
- PrcOrd (Process Order)
- PrdOrd (Production Order)
- PurRqs (Purchase Requisition)
- SchLne (Schedule Lines)
- Stock (Stock)
If more than one receipt element is related to a requirement, the system displays the most critical MRP element (the most delayed element) and a link that you can click on to display an overview of all receipt elements assigned to the requirement.
Note that this overview is automatically sorted by Availability Date first, then by Covered Quantity and Receipt Element. You cannot change this sorting.
Clicking on a specific MRP element opens a quickview with additional details on the element, as well as options to navigate to other apps for information about related objects or for further processing. For example, you can access the Display Sales Order, Display Planned Order , or Change Planned Order apps using the Related Actions link in the quickview.
Availability Date
This column displays the date at which the quantity of a receipt element is available.
If more than one receipt element is available for a requirement, the availability date of the most critical receipt element (the one with the greatest delay) is displayed in this column.
If the availability date falls after a component's requirement date, the system automatically calculates and shows the delay in the Component Delay column.
Uncovered Quantity
The uncovered quantity is the part of the order quantity that can neither be covered on time (covered quantity) nor with a delay (late quantity).
The uncovered quantity is determined by subtracting the late quantity from the missing quantity.
Missing Quantity
Specifies the part of the component quantity that is missing in order to cover a specific requirement.
The missing quantity includes both late and uncovered quantities and is determined by subtracting the covered quantity from the required quantity.
Component Delay
Displays the number of working days that the availability of a receipt quantity is delayed for an individual component.
For each receipt element of a component, the system compares the Requirement Date with the Availability Date to calculate the number of days it is delayed. If the Availability Date falls after the Requirement Date, the difference is shown as delay for the component and it is highlighted in red.
If there is more than one receipt element with a delay for the same requirement, the most critical delay (the highest value) is displayed in this column. To display the component delay for each receipt element individually, you can click the more link in the Receipt Element column.
Total Delay
Displays the maximum delay that is determined for the receipt elements of all subordinate components at a specific level of the order structure.
The value that is displayed in this column helps you determine how much the components of an order structure are actually delayed, based on the individual delays of their underlying components. Since the requirement of a selected order cannot be fulfilled before all subordinate material components are available, the total delay on the top level of the order structure always matches the maximum delay that was determined for the lower levels of the structure. The same applies to component requirements at lower levels of the order structure, if these have subordinate component requirements assigned.
To determine the total delay at a specific component level, the system compares the Proposed Requirement Date with the Availability Date and calculates the number of working days that each receipt element is delayed. If more than one receipt element exists for a requirement, it determines the maximum delay of all receipts. As a second step, the system checks if the total delay of any receipt element at a lower level of the order structure is greater and displays the maximum delay value in this column.
Late Quantity
The late quantity is the part of the order quantity that can be covered at a later point in time, for example, because it first needs to be provided by a supplier and is received only after the requirement date.
The late quantity is determined by subtracting the uncovered quantity from the missing quantity.
Covered Quantity
Specifies the part of the order quantity that has not yet been issued to the customer, but can be covered in time, for example, based on the available stock or planned receipts.
