1. Explain what is SAP PP? Answer: SAP PP process is related to production planning of a company and it encompasses all activities like MRP (Material Requirement Planning), BOM (Bills Of Material), Routing, Capacity planning, etc. but mainly it contains two segments Material Planning: Material requirements planning, long term planning, Execution Planning: Creation of production order, workflow, conformations, technical completion and good movement. 2. Mention what are the production process in SAP? Answer: There are three types of production process in SAP Discrete Manufacturing Repetitive Manufacturing Production- Process Industries 3. List out the activities carried out in Production Planning? Answer: Activities involved in Production Planning includes Processing material master Creation of Bill of Material Displaying work center and routing Maintaining planning calendar Maintaining production lot Maintaining quota file Defining range of coverage profile and profile for safety time Defining MRP views 4. Can anybody explain me why work scheduling view is required for semi finished and finished products?

Answer: We need to maintain working scheduling view in order to make that finished or semi finished goods available for production as we assign production scheduler and production scheduler profile in this view, if not maintained conversion of planned order to production will not be possible. 5. What is MRP List and what is the use of it? Answer: Definition of the MRP List The system creates MRP lists during the planning run according to how you set the creation indicator. These lists contain the planning result for the material. The MRP list always displays the stock/requirements situation at the time of the last planning run and it also provides a work basis for the MRP controller. Changes that are made after the planning date are not taken into consideration, so the list is static. MRP lists are stored in the system until they are either deleted manually or replaced by new lists from a subsequent planning run. 6. What is the use of Stock Requirement List? Answer: In the stock/requirements list, the most up-to-date stock and requirements situation is displayed. The main difference between the MRP list and the stock/requirements list is that each time the stock/requirements list is called up, the system selects the various MRP elements and displays the most up-todate situation. You thus always see the current availability situation of the material in the stock/requirements list. Changes that are made after the planning date are displayed directly, so the list is therefore dynamic. Stock/requirements lists are not saved in a fixed state in the system, but are subject to change and only exist in the working memory. Comparison The screen layout of both lists is basically the same. The system automatically runs the rescheduling check directly when both lists are created and puts forward rescheduling proposals. The number of exception messages displayed in each list is roughly the same. The only difference lies in the fact that, due to the nature of the list, no exception messages can occur for newly planned

MRP elements in the stock/requirements list. Directly after the planning run, both lists contain the same information. As soon as a change relevant to MRP is made, the system updates the information in the stock/requirements list. As stock/requirements lists are subject to change, they cannot be set with a processing indicator. 7. Suppose the client wants me the vacancy to be displayed on a website as well as ESS. How should I do it? Answer: Employee Self-Serviceenables employees to create, display, and change their own HR-related data in the Enterprise Portal generally related to. Benefits and Payments,, Working Time, Career and Job, Employee Search, Personal Data, Travel Management, Corporate Information and Life and Work Events. So the kind of data the employees can edit, change or delete depending upon the authorizations the employees (users and roles) have. The authorization to have access to the vacancies by employees is given, generally the vacancies will be displayed for all the employees i.e all the employees will have authorizations. 8. What is internal recruitment? Answer: Internal recruitment is search for internal applicants. when you integrate with personal development, you can use profile match up which help to search for resources internally. Top 50 SAP PP Module Interview Questions And Answers Pdf 9. What is Purpose of Schedule Margin Key? Answer: In this step, you specify the floats for determining the basic dates of the planned orders. The floats are allocated to the material via the release period key in the material master record. Opening period: The opening period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from the order start date in order to determine the order creation date. This time is used by the MRP controller as a float for converting planned orders into purchase requisitions or into production orders. Float before production: The float before production represents the number of

workdays that are planned as a float between the order start date (planned start date) and the production start date (target start date). On the one hand, this float is intended to guarantee that delays in staging a material do not delay the production start. On the other hand, the production dates can be brought forward by means of the float to cope with capacity bottlenecks. Float after production: The float after production should provide a float for the production process to cope with any disruptions so that there is no danger that the planned finish date will be exceeded. You plan the float after production between order finish date (planned finish date) and scheduled end (target finish date). Release period: The release period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from the order start date in order to determine the production order release. The release period is only relevant for production order management. 10. What is opening period? Answer: Opening period : The opening period represents the number of workdays that are subtracted from the order start date in order to determine the order creation date. This time is used by the MRP controller as a float for converting planned orders into purchase requisitions or into production orders.

11. What is planning time fence? Answer: 1. The planning time fence specifies a period within which no automatic changes are to be made to the master plan. 2. The planning time fence is maintained in workdays. 12. What are all the settings done for configuring integration of PP with FICO? Answer: 1. Do availability check. You will get missing parts list. Procure those missing parts. Then confirm the production order. One more thing you can do, change

customize setting so that user cannot release if parts are missing during order release. 2. Standard cost is the cost which is fixed for a period, variable cost is varying with period. As for example cost of semi finished, finished materials are fixed & cost of raw materials are varied. 3. You will find in master data tab page of production header data overview, CO02 – Read PP Master Data. Also from Functions menu you will get Read PP Master Data. This means that you want the system to re-update the production order with the latest BOM structure. 4. Assigning of Cost center to work center. Assigning Activity type to work center, Standard Cost estimate, Costing Run, Order settlement, Product costing. 13. What is Planning Horizon? Answer: In this step, you define the planning horizon. This planning horizon specifies the period for the “Net change planning in the planning horizon”. In this kind of net change planning, only those materials that have undergone a change that is relevant to MRP within the planning horizon are included in the planning run. Such materials receive a net change planning indicator in the planning file. You make this specification for a plant. You can define an alternative planning horizon for MRP groups. 14. We get an error message “Control parameters for scheduling not defined” while creating test production Orders. Why? Answer: Before you attempt creating Production orders, configure your Order types- Transaction Code OPHJ Order type Dependent parameters – Transaction Code OPL8 Backorder Scheduling – Transaction Code OMIH Scheduling Levels – Transaction Code OMIF 15. What is LSMW? Answer: The LSM Workbench is an SAP System tool that supports you when copying data from non-SAP systems.

16. What do we do in Realization Phase? Answer: Provide ARICEF, Configuration Documents, integration test, BPP, UAT, Unit Test and implements some SAP notes. 17. In LSMW which is most important Step? Answer: Maintain Object Attributes Maintain Source Structures Maintain Source Fields Maintain Structure Relations Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines. 18. How to insert an inspection checkpoint at the end of an operation? Answer: If in process sample is to be defined, assign inspection type 03 in the Material Master. Then create MICs and assign them in the Routings. System automatically generates the Inspection Lots 19. Can we use same routing for materials undergoing the same process/operations? Can we avoid separate routing for each and every material produced? Answer: Presume that there are 50 products and the fabrication shop uses a set of 10 machines. If all these products use the same settings of the machines, Reference Operation Sets (task list type S) can be setup for common processes that use the same work centers. However costing, scheduling and capacity will be affected if each product has different setup time and Reference Operation sets can not be used. A routing for each material number ( type N or R) has to be set up and within that routing, the Reference Operation Set can be used.However, you can by try utilizing the KMAT material and product variants invariant configuration to avoid separate routing for each material.

You may create a routing group. Go into routing creation and enter the plant and the group name. If you want you may name the group, else name is assigned by internal counter). Create the routing with the work centers, operation times, etc. Go to the “Header overview” screen and click on the “Mat Alloc” screen. Fill in the blanks with all the material masters that use this routing. 20. What is the use of MRP PP evaluations? Answer: This role contains a function for evaluating the MRP result. This function can be used to find information about the availability of material and to identify any material shortage situation.

21. Mention what is the purpose of using Capacity Planning? Answer: Capacity Planning supports planning in all phases Long term rough cut planning Medium term planning Short term planning It can be integrated with various SAP applications like SAP-SD, PP, PP-SOP, PP-LTP, PP-SFC, etc. 22. Explain how can you create production order without routing and BOM? Answer: Without BOM and routing you can create a production order by changing the config in OPL8 ( order type dependent parameters) as routing optional. When we try to create an order using C001 it may ask for a sales order. 23. Explain what happens to planned after it has been converted into production order? Answer: When planned order is converted to the production order, the planned order

are offset by production order. The planned order reference can be seen in the production order. 24. Mention what is the difference between stock transport order and stock transfer order? Answer: Stock transfer order: It is referred to the transfer of stock for the usage in the same company Stock transport order: It is referred to the change of title of stock in the name of the buyer 25. Explain what is PRT (Production Resource Tools) in SAP PP? Answer: PRT (Production Resource Tools) are moveable operating objects used to perform repeated activities in plant or production maintenance, for example, documents such as drawings or programs for which document management functions are used. Various other PRT components include Engineering drawings Jigs Fixtures Measurement Instruments 26. What is INTERNAL PAYROLL PROCESS? Answer: Payroll process(program) is run at a specific point in time, not only to calculate an employee’s basic remuneration but also any special payments, overtime payments or bonuses that must be effected for the period in question. 27. What is meant by authorization? Did you ever work on it? Answer: Authorisations are the transactions given to the end users or the developers for only some areas to work, infotyopes, transaction codes, org units and others depending on the requirement of the client or the develping enterprise. Check this at PFCG tcode.

28. What are Dynamic Actions? Give a few examples. What are the IT’s you used in them? Answer: Dynamic actions which are triggered by the system. They are result of some personnel action. If you make a change (personnel action) to the personnel data of an info type that then has an effect on the data of a second info type, the system automatically displays the info type. One of the main purpose of the dynamic action (of the system) is to have a consistent and coherent data. These actions are started automatically by the system, unlike the Personnel actions which you start by yourself. The best example is when you carry out an action lets say hiring, you need to populate a set of info types. Your initial entry of details in infotype 0000 is personnel action. When you do this system automatically displays next infotpes- which is result of dynamic action 29. What is IT 41 used for? How do I default IT 41? Answer: Date Specifications (Info type 0041). The following information is recorded in the Date Specifications info type (0041). The Date type specifies the type of information. A concrete Date type (specified by the user) is used in a series of reports, for example to evaluate an entry date that cannot be derived from the organizational assignment history but which is stored in the Date Specifications info type(0041). This info type can be used in payroll as well as for the leave program. The standard system contains twelve combinations of Date type and Date. If you require more than twelve date specifications for an employee at the same time, you can use time constraint. 30. In TM, if group of employees get 10 days of annual leave, what will be the time evaluation status? Answer: TIME evaluation shows the exact details maintained over to the employee through his 2006 and 2001. if they are all allowed to take leave it shows leave as paid or unpaid depending on the configuration done by the consultant for these situation. in processing time data in payroll or even Time evaluation ( Valuation of absences ) also.

31. How the process time is calculated in a WC when both labour, Machine categories exist? Answer: Scheduling is done based on the Capacity Category we define in the Workcenter. 32. Mention what are the t-codes for creating, changing and summarizing BOM? Answer: BOM transaction codes for Creating BOM= CS01 Changing BOM= CS02 Summarized BOM=CS13 33. Where have we to specify the teardown time in one operation? Answer: Teardown time can be defined as one of the Standard Parameters. 34. What is REPORT VARIANT FOR OFF CYCLE ACTIVITIES, what do we do in this step? Answer: Variant is to save all input field parameters. once you saved as a variant , you can use the same for future purposes. 35. What is the role of a administrator in PA? Answer: To restrict access to Personnel administration based on PA/PSA. Administrator: we come across for Personnel admininstration, Time management, and Payroll in sap . Each admiinistrator is reponsible for each individual activity. You can get the name of the administrator in the pay slip so the employee for any clarification

he can meet the responsible administrator (accessed through payslip) This administrtor (is created in PA of PM) is responsible for recruitment. 36. How is the process time calculated in a WC when both labour, Machine categories exist? Answer: Scheduling is done based on the Capacity Category we define in the Workcenter. 37. What is a ‘BOM’? Answer: A ‘BOM (Bill of Material)’ is nothing but a structured list of components (with the object number, quantity, and unit of measure) that go into the making of a product or an assembly. Depending on the industry sector, they may also be called recipes or lists of ingredients. The structure of the product determines whether the bill of material is simple or very complex. 38. What are the ‘BOM Categories’ Supported by SAP? Answer: The following are the various Categories of BOM: Equipment BOM Material BOM Sales Order BOM Document Structure Functional Location BOM WBS BOM 39. What are all the ‘Technical Types of BOM’? Answer: There are two ‘Technical Types of BOM’ supported in SAP: Variant BOM Material BOM Differentiate ‘Variant BOM’ from ‘Multiple BOM.’ While a ‘Variant BOM’ groups together several BOMs that describe different objects (for example, different models of a car) with a high proportion of

identical parts, a Multiple BOM groups together several BOMs that describe one object (for example, a product) with different combinations of materials for different processing methods. The Variant BOMs are supported for the following BOM categories: Material BOMs Document structures Equipment BOMs Functional location BOMs Multiple BOMs are only supported for Material BOMs. 40. What is a ‘Work Center’ in PP? Answer: A ‘Work Center’ in PP (PP-BD-BOM) is an organizational unit that can be a combination of machines or groups of craftsmen, people, and production lines, wherein certain operations are carried out to produce some output. Each of the work centers is assigned to a cost center. A work center can be assigned to a work center in SAP-HR, which will enable assignment of employees, qualifications, etc. 41. What is a ‘Routing’ in PP? Answer: A ‘Routing’ in PP (PP-BD-RTG) is used to define the sequence of operations (work steps) and resources required to perform certain operations in order to produce a material with or without reference to an order. The standard values of planned time for the various operations need to be entered into the routing. There are two different types of routing: Routing Rate routing (A similar concept exists in PS where you define a ‘task list,’ which is similar to ‘routing’ in PP.) 42. What is known as ‘Demand Management’? Answer:

‘Demand Management’ (PP-MP-DEM) helps in determining the requirement quantities and delivery dates for finished goods assemblies. It uses the planned independent requirements and customer requirements (customer requirements come from sales orders). Planning strategies help in deciding the kind of demand program. If production is triggered by sales orders, then it is known as ‘Make-toOrder’ production; if is not then it is known as ‘Make-toStock’ production. 43. What are the Three ‘MRP Procedures’? Answer: Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) Master Production Scheduling (MPS) Consumption-based Planning What is ‘MPS’ (Master Production Scheduling)? Executed as that of an MRP, ‘MPS’ is nothing but a special form of MRP, which aims to reduce storage costs and to increase planning stability. With MPS you can flag materials that greatly influence company profits or take up critical resources as master schedule items and check and plan them separately with a series of special tools. 44. What is ‘Consumption-based Planning? Answer: Using past consumption data, ‘Consumption-based Planning’ aims at determining future requirements. In the process, it makes use of material forecasts or any other ‘static’ planning procedures. The ‘net requirements’ calculation is triggered when the stock level falls below a reorder point. The net requirements can also be calculated by forecast requirements from a historical consumption pattern. 45. What is SLA ? Service Level Agreements? Answer: Service Level Agreements (SLA) define the attributes for service products (for example, maintenance, Hotline) that have been agreed upon with the

customer in service contracts. The SLA confirms different parameters, such as response time, availability time and system availability. 46. What are Basic Dates? Answer: Earliest date for the execution of the production order. This date takes into account the float before production. If, on order creation, a planned order exists for the production order or process order, then the order dates are taken from the planned order. When scheduling the production order the system tries to adhere to the order dates (if necessary, with reduction measures). 1. If it is not possible to adhere to the basic dates and if the control parameter in Customizing allows the basic dates to be adjusted, the system adjusts the basic dates of the order during the scheduling run. 2. If the control parameter in Customizing does not allow the basic dates to be adjusted, the order keeps the basic dates of the planned order. 3. If the production order is created manually, you must enter at least one order date manually. 4. The scheduling type determines, which order dates you must enter. 47. What is Group BOM? Answer: Alphanumeric character string used to uniquely identify a BOM. Use If you assign a “meaningful” number to a BOM group, this gives you an additional way of accessing the BOM. The system stores the following under a BOM group: 1. all the alternatives in a multiple BOM 2. all the BOMs entered for a variant BOM 48. Can’t one material be assigned to more than one operation in a routing? Answer:

One material from a BOM CANNOT be assigned to different Operations. It can be done by defining the material for so many times as required in the BOM 49. What is the purpose of creating symbolic a/c, what is transaction code for same ? Can we assign one symbolic a/c to multiple wage types? Answer: It depends upon your payrol requirement to create salary head like expense account etc. 50. We need to do GI of components to production order using Backflush. The component stock is managed in Batches. The Batch to be backflushed? Answer: With the following settings, the batches are selected the moment the production order is released. 1: Set up batch determination the way that the batches in batch selection are sorted the right way. e.g. sorted by expiry date 2: Use automatic batch selection in disp view. 3: Ensure that the components are allowed to be back-flushed (material master/ work center) is selected by FIFO from the issue storage location.

2 nd PART 1. Explain what is Routing in SAP PP? Answer: Routing in SAP PP is referred to a list of activities which are required to produce any material. For example, when you do cost estimation for the material, the system triggers the relevant routing and activity rates for all those described in routing. Which will helpful to calculate the processing cost in product costing. 2. What are the steps of Production Execution Process? Answer: Production Execution steps include Converting planned order to production order Releasing the production order Goods issue for production order Confirmation of production order Goods receipt against production order 3. Find the scenario and give the result : A,B,C are employees, where A,B will get basic,HRA,DA. C gets Basic and DA. How to group for the allowances? Answer: Allowances are paid depending on his gradation and even wages are also paid on this criteria, if AB are paid bas, hra and DA then take three wage types ans assign to the ES Grouping and don’t give HRA wage type to C. Check basic salary of inda and ALlowances in indian payroll thorougly, bcos first of all v have to undestand this first and then you have to decide the emp sub gtroupings. 4. What are the reports generated in product cost controlling information system? Answer:

Product Cost Controlling information system generates information for following areas Product cost planning Cost object controlling with the subcomponents Product cost by period Product cost by order Product cost by sales order Costs for intangible goods and services Actual costing / Material Ledger 5. What is the use of INFOGROUPS? Answer: The infotype group (commonly known as infogroup) guarantees that during the personnel action, all information needed for the business processes is stored. The infogroup is processed when you perform a personnel action. – An infogroup exists in the standard system for every personnel action type. – In Customizing for Personnel Administration, you can tailor the make-up of the various infogroups to the requirements of your company. – You can define infogroups as user-group dependent. Infogroups are used in Personnel Actions to define a set of sequencial infotypes that you would be using while performing an action. For example, when you hire, you would want to use IT0000,0001,0002,0006,0007,0008 etc in a sequence- in a particular order. So define an Infogroup for this purpose which contains all these infotypes, their order of execution and the user groups it is applicable for. Then you assign this infogroup to the action that you had defined. 6. What is the difference between by-product and co-product and how do you differentiate them in a BOM? Answer: In case, of Co-product costs are settled with an apportionment structure. In case, of By-product the price of this by-product is credited to the order or the material stock account of the lead material being manufactured. Co-Product as well as by-product are defined as BOM Components/Items. Both of them have negative quantities. ( Not all negative quantity items fall under these

categories!). When BOM is created for FERT, you can see one indicator in COMPONENT DETAILS screen for co-product. You need to define the coproducts with this special indicator. 7. Explain the uses of the simple maintenance interface? Answer: Simple Maintenance is used when Staff assignments and reporting structure are to be changed. There are three main areas in Simple Maintenance. Each area contains particular maintenance functions, depending on whether you want to edit organizational structure, staff assignments or task profiles. For Organizational Management users, Simple Maintenance is best used to establish the basic framework in organizational plan development. For complete, detailed editing of individual organizational objects in your organizational plan (editing particular positions or organizational units, for example), we recommend that you switch to Info-type Maintenance. Simple maintenance uses a tree structure, which allows you to create a basic framework for organizational plans, using streamlined procedures. In this way, we can create an organizational and reporting structures step by step. 8. How do you get the system to update this value from the routing? Answer: In routing, carry out scheduling. Go into the routing operation overview and follow Extras -> Scheduling -> Results. The pop-up window displays the scheduling data. At the bottom there is a pushbutton to copy the scheduling data to the material master Check this push button to update master data. 9. We defined SOP in months. However, during SOP transfer to demand management, our independent requirements are appearing in weeks. How can we correct this from weeks into months? Answer: Check transaction OMPA for general split. OMPS – based on the MRP group. Ensure that MRP group assigned to the material. Delete any allocations in these tables. Then periods will be transferred to Demand Management with the same splits

as in SOP. Also, check whether the value of period is set as “month” at your plant level in Transaction ‘OMP7’ 10. What is the difference between “planned consumption” and “Unplanned consumption”? Can safety stock calculation be done on either of these? Answer: While customizing movement types (OMJJ) it is defined as to which set of consumption values gets posted during the material movement. For some, it may always be the total consumption and for some, it is always the unplanned one and for some, it is dependent on whether the issues were done with reference to a reservation ie., a planned consumption. The way these consumption values are taken into account in MRP is defined in the customizing of MRP types. For Reorder point planning (VM) the total consumption is used to calculate the safety stock and the reorder point. For Forecast-based planning (VV) the total consumption is used to build the forecast which will be used to compile the order proposals. For Deterministic MRP (PD) the unplanned consumption is used to calculate the forecast which in turn is added to the actual demand. 11. How is Time managment and payroll is integrated? Answer: TM MGMT and Payroll are integrated in ways are time data is collected from the info type 0007 and these hours are taken in basic as Number of hours worked or utilizwed, and even with time evaluation and last with schemas integration. X000 schema carries xt00 and these data can be transfered between other modlues. 12. What is costing? How it is affected the PP? Answer: Determining the material costs of a product. When you calculate production costs using a quantity structure, the system

automatically determines the BOM and all the BOM items that are relevant to costing, in order to calculate manufacturing costs. 13. We want the system to run a single level MRP automatically on receipt of sales order. How to configure triggering event based MRP? Answer: This can only be run if the material master has planning strategy 41 (made-toorder) in the MRP2 view. We need to run for other MRP types. We have to create a user exit in the sales order processing (VA01) to start MRP based on data from our sales transaction. 14. What is Recruitment Cycle? Answer: Its is the complete process of recruitment right from identifying the vacancies displaying the same, notifying them, inviting the applicants, screening the applicants, interviewing them, selecting them, and recruiting them and appointing them(giving an organizational position in the organization— all theses processes constitute the recruitment cycles. 15. We are trying to create Purchase Requisition from MRP run. We have material, info Record, Source list, Demand in place. MRP is always creating plan order. Why? Answer: Check the procurement type in MRP view of material master. Check ‘Create Purchase requisition’ indicator while running MRP. If you want purchase requisitions to be created in the opening period, select the for MRP control parameter ‘create purchase requisitions’ as ‘1’. 16. what is the option “Documented goods movements” on Selection of Individual Object Lists (transaction code CO28)? Answer: Use Transaction code OPL8 to customize by choosing the order type, select all the checkbox under “Documentation of goods movements” at the bottom of the page. Create a new Production order, make GI to it, and run the report. Top 50 SAP PP Interview Questions And Answers Pdf.

17. Explain how to create PRT master records? Answer: To create PRT master records you have to follow the following steps Choose logistics/Accounting -> Project System -> Basic data -> Master data > Production resources and tools -> Create The initial screen for creating a PRT appears Enter a number for the PRT and choose continue The basic data screen appears Maintain the basic data Choose Goto -> Defaults and enter the default values Save the PRT 18. What is golive actually ? What is the role of a functional consultant in it? Answer: Go live is transfering of data from Development server to Production server. Development —–> Quality server In Quality you need to Unit, Integration testing, Once it is OK in Qulaity server, Then you need Development —-> Production 19. How to group employees for their allowances in payroll? Answer: Go to basic salary of india in Payroll india and group the employee first depending on the allowances to be paid and this is applied for even differantiating the employees into groups depending on their pay structures. 20. Explain what is PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) in SAP PP and what is the use? Answer: It is a collection of solutions with which you digitally create, maintain and make product information, available in the whole company and for the entire life cycle of the product.

PLM provides you the function with which you do following things The workplace is an open portal in the world wide web and allows you to access all application and information that you need to work with all external and internal business partners It can link with other internet applications like program management, change and configuration management and engineering collaboration. 21. We have two storage locations are ‘0001’ and ‘0600’. Default storage location in Process order is always ‘0001’ What determines this default location? Answer: Look into OSS notes: 100757, 63493, 96262, 87843, 82033, 64946. The Storage location as configured in the Supply area has the highest priority. 22. What is MRP controller Means? Answer: The MRP controller is a person or a group of persons responsible for monitoring material availability. You can use the number entered here, for example, to select the planning results per MRP conroller. Every material that is relevant to the planning run must be assigned an MRP controller number in the material master record. You can also determine a special person for backorder processing who receives a mail if a goods receipt was posted for a missing part. You must enter the mail name of this person in the field entitled, recipient name. In addition, you can define a person or a group of persons, who are to informed if you send a mail from the MRP list or stock/requirements list to the MRP controller for the material displayed. Actions. 23. What is PROCESSING CLASS, where we do them and why? Answer: Wage type characteristic that determines how processing is conducted during the payroll run

24. In cost controlling information system mention the fields that are listed in the list screen of the report? Answer: Following fields are listed in the list screen of the report Key Figures Costing/MM %Costing/MM Revaluation VarCstRuns %VarCstRuns Basic data Valuation 25. Explain what is the use of SAP Material View and list out other parameters where SAP Material View is applicable? Answer: SAP Material View is an SAP object that not only hold name of the material, but various other information related to material like Material production related information Material planning related information Material sales related information Material purchase related information Material storage and warehousing related information Material costing and Accounting related information Material batch specification information 26. What is meant by payscale structure? How did you configure payscale structure? Answer: Pay Scale Structure means creation of Payroll area , Pay scale type,area, group and levels with EmpSub group grouping for PCR & CAP’s. 27. What is MRP group and what is the use of it?

Answer: MRP Groups In this step, you can carry out the total maintenance of the MRP groups and you can allocate a material type to an MRP group. The MRP group is an organizational object that can be used to allocate special control parameters for planning to a group of materials. You can maintain MRP groups if planning control per plant is not precise enough for your requirements and you want to allocate certain material groups different control parameters from the plant parameters. For this purpose, MRP groups are defined with these specific control parameters and are assigned to the material in the material master record (MRP 1 screen). For example, the following control parameters can be set for the total planning run: 1. the creation indicator for the plarequisitions, MRP lists, and so on) 2. the planning horizon 3. the consumption mode The following is valid for total planning and single-item planning: 1. for all materials without an MRP group, the system uses the plant parameters, or the entries in the initial screen of the planning run 2. for all materials with an MRP group, the system uses the parameters recorded in the MRP group inning run (creation of purchase) 28. What are some important tables used in PP (Production Planning)? Answer: For orders: CAUFVD dialog structure for order headers and items AFPO – Order item AFFLD Order: Dialog table for order sequences (AFFL) MOPAR Operation for production order KBED Capacity requirements AFRU Order completion confirmations RESB Reservation/Dependent Requirements AFFHD Structure of PRT’s in orders SOPER Sub-operations

SAFRU Sub-operation confirmations SK BED Capacity requirements for sub-operation MRP table is MDTB. For PI: CAUFV – AFVC Operation within an order AFFT Order Process Instructions AFFV Order process instruction values Some other tables of interest: PLKO, MAPL, PLAS. Bills Of Material 29. We want to report on several status combinations like each order that has status ‘Not deleted’ and ‘Not technically completed’. What set up is required? Answer: Check transaction CO28. In the selection screen note the possible selection ‘System Status’. You can select TECO for technically complete an DLT for deleted from the list. Select the Excl. indicator also.
