Client: NG Tech Inc (For SAP America) -Arlington Heights, IL
Project Type: Packaging Solution Development
SAP Version: ECC 6.0
Duration: August 2009 - May 2010
Role: SAP SD Principal Consultant
As a SAP SD Principal Consultant, I was responsible for developing
Packaging Solution (Folding Carton Manufacturing) for SAP America using SAP
best practices
Make-to-Order (MTO) solution with Variant Configuration for Packaging
Industry
The MTO - Sales Order Processing with Variant Configuration scenario
demonstrates sales order processing with materials with pre-selected
characteristic values (material variants) and components that are produced
according to sales quantities planned for these variants. If the sales
order configuration is not available as a material variant, then customer
service can configure the material on the order by choosing the required
characteristic values. Once the order is saved, a sales order cost estimate
is created that is subsequently used to valuate the cost of goods sold.
The process is triggered when an order for a configurable material is
received from the customer. The customer order is recognized in the MRP run
resulting in planned order for production of the material. If insufficient
warehouse stock is available, purchase requisitions are created for the raw
materials required.
When the production order is created, target costs are calculated for the
order lot size (preliminary costing). During the production process, costs
incurred are updated on the order, enabling you to keep track of and
compare target costs and actual costs at any time.
Period-end-closing activities are applied to the order. This includes Work
In Progress calculation and variance calculation. After this, Work in
Progress is settled to financial accounting and production variances are
settled to management and financial accounting. Production variances are
settled to profitability analysis with the sales order as one of the
characteristics.
. Creation of Sales area, Customer Master and Material Master
. Configuration of Quotations, Orders and Item categories to suit the
new requirements.
. Testing of the entire Quotation to Cash (QTC) Cycle
. Creation of Customer Material Info Records, Contracts and Scheduling
agreements.
. Creation of Fast data entry in Order Processing (MTO/DIMP)
. Job processing using MILL_CUT (a specific requirement for Packaging
Industry)
. Creation of Test plans and Test cases
. Define a condition type for pricing through costing by selecting the
condition type with the field CndType line items in the sales document
type. The condition type must have condition category Q (costing).
. Add this condition type to the SD pricing procedure. The SD pricing
procedure specifies the conditions that are allowed for pricing a
sales document. It also specifies the sequence in which the conditions
are included. The results of the cost estimate can only be included if
the pricing procedure specifies an appropriate condition type and
appropriate access sequences.
. Enter default values for costing in the requirements class.
. Product costing is used as the sales order item has to be costed.
