Contribution:
Reports
. Where used Report
Standard SAP has a where used report on BOMs (CS15). Given a
component, this report can find its immediate parent or the full tree
structure (implosion). But it cannot list all the end items alone
(Filter option won't solve the issue). Besides some custom fields are
also required which are stored in the Document info record and on the
BOM custom fields. The output is displayed in ALV grid.
. MRP List report
MRP List report will be used by the MPS Schedulers and the
Planner/Buyers to compare the MRP data of a given material between
different weeks. This report runs weekly and takes a snapshot of the
Stock/Requirement list of all the materials.
MRP is run everyday in the system and the standard MRP list provided
by SAP will only capture the latest planning run overwriting all the
previous MRP lists. In order to store the previous week MRP list, we
have developed this custom report.
The report output should be an attachment to SAP In-box. SAP
background jobs should be created for each MRP Area and should be run
after the respective weekly MRP run.
. Planned order schedule dates report
This ALV report gives production controller the visibility of schedule
dates when planning releases verses basic dates.
Standard SAP uses basic dates from reporting which is often not the
same as the basic date, hence a report is required to pull schedule
dates to get the accurate release time of production orders.
Interface/Batch input
. Developed BDC programs to upload condition records of different key
combinations using the transaction code VK11.
. Developed BDC program to convert variant material to configurable
materials.
SAP Script/Smart forms
. Developed the print program and layout set for quotation form
. Developed piece part label form.
Piece Part Label form will be used whenever a goods issue is done from
stores to an order. This label will be used to identify the components
that would be issued as well as to show that the parts are good from
quality perspective
Work flow

to vendors,
until the changes done to vendor master are confirmed. In this
scenario work flow will send the mails to approval authority to
approve the changes done to vendor master.
