Process

Production Change involves multiple steps as shown on the flow chart below. Our How-to focuses on the plugin „Change Production“ which was delivered in the WorkCenter PODs with the November/December 2024 SAP Digital Manufacturing release.

There are multiple technical prerequisities that need to be checked and considered before the start: If you are not familiar with these, don’t hesitate to contact us at hello@concircle.com.

Configuration

1. Create a new page

2. Assign Plugin Container

3. Add Change Production Plugin to the Container

4. Make sure it is activated as “Default”

5. Add a new Action Button to Horizontal Toolbar

6. Align its Design with the Standard

7. Assign the Change Production Plugin

1. To demonstrate the feature, we created a production order with 2 Operations and 3 Components:

2. The order is transfered to SAP DM and and the BOM and Routing are on Version ERP001

3. We add another Operation and replace one component from the BOM to see how the system reacts to changes

4. The Production Changes are transfered to SAP DM and we receive an upversioned BOM and Routing Versions. The SFC ist by default changed to „On Hold“ (orange square under Status)

5. Production Changes have a separate Message Type and can be tracked in the Integration Message Dashboard

6. Next, we want to map the active SFC with the upversioned BOM and Routing: We go to “Launch PODs“ App, select our example Work Center POD and search for the example SFC.

Then we trigger the button „Change Production“ and are forwarded to the respective page.

7. In the Change Section, we select the field „New BOM“, search the Version ERP002 and select it.

We also receive a message with the message type „Production Change“ on Integration Message Dashboard App:

8. We also have to select „Placement“ which reflects from where we should proceed, after the change was processed and the SFC was upversioned. The following three options are available:

In queue at first operation activity: In case the first operation was not completed and not even started, we select this option
In queue at specifi cooperation activity: This option is relevant, if one or a few operations are already completed and we wish to select one specific Routing Step ID that should be in queue.
In queue at first uncompleted operation activity: In the most cases, we should select this option to make sure that we continue with the latest operation which was active or in queue.

9. We can check in the review section whether the right BOM and Routing were selected. (The version is not visible.) With „Save“, we confirm the changes and the SFC changes the status from“Hold“ to „New“.

10. Status is updated.
