  The production version is the link between a product BOM (Bill of Material) and the process Routing. It determines which alternative BOM is used together with which routing to produce a material or plan a material. There may be different production versions based on the lot sizes and validity dates. For example, there may be different versions if you want to produce 1 – 100 liter of paint than 100 – 1000 liter of paint, as such the different composition of BOM may be required in both cases. It comprises of the following data: The assignment of routings to the production version The assignment of the alternative BOM to the production version Production versions are used in material requirements planning (MRP), production order creation, and product costing to select the most suitable routing and the corresponding bill of material. In order to create production version, perform the following steps- Step 1)  From SAP Easy access screen open transaction  C223 Enter Plant Co...

  A routing is a description of which operations or list of activities has to be carried out during the production and planning process. It also tells what order or sequence the activities/operations needs to be carried out at work centers or machines. There may be several alternative routings for a product. For example, product can be manufactured on 2 manually operated machines (drilling and grinding) and simultaneously manufactured on 1 automatic machine (which has both drilling and grinding functions).In this case, Material has 2 alternative routings viz, automatic machine and manual operated machine.  Multiple materials can follow same routing group which means a group of materials can have single routing. Routing is used in Production for scheduling and costing of operations for finished and semi-finished materials. Routing’s are also used in standard cost calculation for finished Product by calculating operational cost of finished product. Before creating the routing, i...

  Work center is an organization unit where manufacturing activities are performed. In other words, Work Centers are the master data which represent real machines, Production Lines, Assembly Work Center, etc. Manufacturing activity or Operations are carried out at Work Center. Work Centers are used in task list (routing) operations and is copied to production orders or process orders for the shop floor planning and execution. Work Center data is used for Scheduling When a production order is created, the duration of an operation can be calculated based on operating times in routing and formulas which are entered in the Work Center. Costing The costs of an operation can be calculated in the production Order based on the formulas which are entered in the Work Center. Work Center is also linked to a cost center. Capacity Planning The available capacity and formulas for calculating capacity requirements are stored in the Work Center. Work Centers are used in routing operation data. Wor...
