IPPE Master Data Creation Process in - SAP S/4HANA

[subathra_priya]

Hi SAPians,

Introduction:

• Let's have an introduction and overview of the functionality of IPPE (Integrated Product and Process Engineering).
• This information is primarily utilized for products with several variations. The IPPE model allows the keeping about master data since it includes Process Structure, Product Structure, and Line Design.
• A entire production process can be mapped using a single model that includes BOM, Routing, and Line design.
• It is only appropriate for Repetitive manufacturing.

Steps to follow:

Create the Class for the header material, assign the class in Clasification view.

Using the T-Code as PPE to create the IPPE process.

Product Structure:

It describes a product's structure as well as the components used to make it.

Click the create option, Choose the application as product structure, node and class.

Click the create button.

• In Product Structure, Access node and Structure node will be created.

Access Node:

An access node is a sort of IPPE node that provides access to the product structure and can be used to plan material requirements.

Enter the description, in Access variant tab enter the header material and quantity.

Save the Access node creation.

 Right click the access node go to the way as per below screenshot.

Structure node:

Create the Structure node.

A structure node represents a component or function within a product structure.

Move to the variants tab enter the components (Raw material) and quantity.

If the component has variant move to the object dependencies tab.

Just drag and drop it to the material.

Save the Structure node creation.

Process Structure:

A process structure is a key application object that represents routing data, specifically for repetitive manufacturing.

Click the create icon, choose the application as process structure, type as line routing and enter the class to create it.

Line routing:

It defines the sequence of activities and operations needed to manufacture a product for shop-floor-oriented manufacturing.

Right Click line routing – Create relationship – activity.

In the activity creation move to the modes tab create the resource successfully.

Factory layout:

Factory layout is the systematic representation of assembly lines within a plant. It is a hierarchical structure of assembly line that can have as many levels as needed to represent the factory.

Click the create icon enter the application as factory layout select the type as line and create it.

In basic data view enter the plant and resource which you have already created.

Move to the action points tab enter the start line (1st operation) and end line which refers (last operation).

Move to the line balance tab create the line balance.

Line Balance:

Line balancing is the process of calculating a line's takt time and then altering the line's activities to match the time.

Select the line balance and click the effectivity enter the valid from date.

Save the Line balance creation.

Production Version Creation:

Create the production version, go to the environment and create it.

Fill all data what you have created like product structure, process structure and line activity.

Save the production version.

Here you can be able to see Production Version what you have created.

Right Click the PV go to reports and click the IPPE consistency check.

You have got some warning message in that line balance is yet create.

So, click the icon shown in screenshot – go to environment – select the type as line balance – enter it.

Create the line balance relationship and save it.

Convert the IPPE data into APO data:

The IPPE master data is used to plan requirements using the Planning Matrix in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS).

Use the transaction code of PPEAPO to convert the IPPE transaction to APO data.

Enter the material, Plant, PV and click the execute.

Resource creation in APO:

Create the resource using the T-code SAPAPORES1.

Enter the resource what you have created and enter the plant.

Choose Change Resource.

Enter the time cont. Capacity

Select the line item, Choose the model assignment which I have highlighted below.

Conclusion:

I hope this is useful for all of our community Team members regarding IPPE master data creation and convert it into as APO (PPDS) data.

I believe, it will be helpful and will provide sufficient information.
