PRT functionality in PP for process industries (work-around)

[former_member361771]

Hello,

PRT functionality does not exist for process orders (i.e. PP-PI). I can see questions about this subject dating back many years.

Per note 350614, solution is to simply not use PRTs with process orders.

Can you suggest a work around for scenarios where you have a genuine production resource, for example, material which is re-used a certain number of times?

I find it hard to believe this requirement did not come up before for standard PP PI to handle.

I am developing a process to create an equipment PRT and record measurement points against it in order to count number of times PRT has been used. This will be a manual work around. I feel good about it, but, as you know, this is PM functionality, not PP.

Can you share thoughts / approaches you took? Any idea which future release of S/4 will have this functionality out of the box?

Hi Sasha,

we are having the same issue. In the process of choclate production we are using moulds in first operation/phases. After completion of the process order, the moulds need to be cleaned and made available for new process orders. Our first thought was, to use PRTs for this purpose like in discrete manufacturing. However, like you already mentined this functionality is not provided in process orders.

Did you ever get an answer on your question or do you still stick with your described workaround?

regards,

Georg
