Production Engineering
New SAP Fiori app Manage Production Resources and Tools
With the new SAP Fiori app Manage Production Resources and Tools, you can perform all operations related to creating PRT, changing PRT, and displaying PRT.
Mapping of Custom Fields in Tasklists to Work-Center Formula Parameters
With the new SSCUI Mapping Custom Tasklist Operation Fields to Work Center Formula Parameters you can map the custom fields created for the tasklist (Routing, Recipe) to the Formula Parameters in the work center. The values will be dynamically generated based on this custom field and it is used in the Operation details, Costing and Scheduling modules.
Developer Extensibility: New RAP Business Object for Production Routing
For SAP S/4HANA Cloud ABAP Environment, the business object interface Production Routing is released for developer extensibility. With this RAP (ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model) business object, you can build custom applications for creating, updating, and reading a production routing as a business object of ABAP RESTful application programming model in SAP S/4HANA Cloud ABAP Environment.
Production Planning
Demand Forecasting with SAP IBP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Enable bidirectional integration for demand forecasting scenario with SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain using SAP Integration Suite:
- Integration of product, location, customer master data and sales history data from SAP S/4HANA Cloud to SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain
- Integration of final consensus forecast from SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain to SAP S/4HANA Cloud using SAP Integration Suite
Demand-Driven Replenishment
The new features include the following:
Exclude products which are not relevant for MRP based on Material Status as per Basic data or MRP1 view, Purchasing view of Material Master for classification.
Exclude or limit processing of phantom or bulk products in Demand-Driven Replenishment by excluding them in Buffer Management and Lead Time Classification in the following apps and application jobs:
Historical Buffer Performance
Mass Maintenance of Products (DD)
Buffer Positioning
Manage Buffer Levels
Replenishment Planning
Schedule Product Classification (DD)
Schedule Lead Time Classification of Products (DD)
Schedule Buffer Proposal Calculation
Capacity Scheduling Board
With this feature, you can:
Reschedule operations on the Manage Operation page by dragging and dropping the operation on the chart within the same work center. You can only drag and drop to reschedule bottleneck operations.
The legend for orders are now changed to a blue palette. The Filtered and Unfiltered Operations in the legend are now moved to a scroll bar.
Evaluate Capacity
With this feature, you can navigate to the Capacity Scheduling Table app through the Schedule Production button provided in the Table View and the Chart and Table View in the Operations section.
CDS Views for Production Planning
The CDS view MRP Plant Control Parameters was released for Production Planning.
Objects Changed for Developer Extensibility in Material Requirements Planning
With the objects released in Material Requirements Planning, you have a stable interface to access data from SAP S/4HANA Cloud when building custom applications or extensions with developer extensibility. You can integrate the released objects in your custom code or extend them at predefined extension points. Depending on your use case, different object types are provided (such as BAdIs, CDS views, business object interfaces). You find all the released objects in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT), when you're connected to SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
Schedule Handover of Purchase Requisitions
With this new app you can schedule jobs to automatically hand over purchase requisitions in your area of responsibility to your purchasing department for further processing. The status Handover Pending of the selected purchase requisitions is set to Handover Completed. This application job app offers you an alternative to the manual step in the Hand Over Purchase Requisitions or Manage Material Coverage apps.
Production Operations
Developer Extensibility: New RAP Business Object for Process Order
For SAP S/4HANA Cloud ABAP Environment, the business object interface Process Order is released for developer extensibility. With this RAP (ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model) business object, you can build custom applications for processing, for example, creating, reading, updating, or deleting, the following entities of a process order:
- Process order headers
- Order items
- Serial numbers
- Order operations
- Phases
- Relationships
- Order components
By the way: A year ago we launched the RAP Business Object for Production Order that enables you to modify a production order including production order header, components, and operations (see my 2302 blog post). This RAP business object enables us now to enhance the OData API for Production Order (Version 2).
OData API Production Order - Update customer fields on order header
With the OData API Production Order (Version 2) (API_PRODUCTION_ORDER_2_SRV), you can create, read, and update production orders as well as set a wide range of statuses.
The extensibility options for the Production Order entity (A_ProductionOrder_2) have been enhanced. You can now use your customer fields to also write data for the order header when you create or update your production orders.
Kanban Control Cycle OData Operation - Retry Failed Container Status Change
The status change of a Kanban container in error state can now be retried via OData API. It was only possible via Kanban Correction app before.
Pascal Rauprecht shows in the next video how you can automate the material replenishment from warehouse in case the kanban container runs into error status due to empty stock in the warehouse.
Quality Management
Navigation from Manage Inspection Lots to other native SAP Fiori apps
With this feature, you can now navigate to apps in SAP Fiori instead of SAP GUI to record inspection results and make usage decisions from the Manage Inspection Lots app. It increases the usability of the manage inspection lot app through enhanced navigation.
Enhancements to Record Inspection Results app
You can use calculated characteristics in the Record Inspection Results app to calculate inspection results. This new feature will save time by letting the system automatically calculate inspection results according to a predefined formula.
With this release you can also define conditional characteristics in an inspection plan. This ensures inspection of conditional characteristics depending on the results (after acceptance or after rejection) of the previous required characteristics within the same operation in the Record Inspection Results app. The conditional characteristics will improve the guidance for the quality technician recording inspection results.
Integrating defects in quality notification
In the SAP Fiori app "Manage Defects," you can leverage the new SSCUI to transfer defect categories to quality notification types. You can define combinations of notifications types and defect categories that are valid for the transfer of defects. The valid notification types can only be selected when you are transferring defects to the quality notification in the 'Manage Defects' app. This will greatly improve the flexibility for customers to transfer defects to different kinds of quality notifications.
Objects released for developer extensibility
With this object released in Quality management, you have access to data from SAP S/4HANA Cloud when building custom applications or extensions with developer extensibility. You can integrate the released objects in your custom code or extend them at predefined extension points. Depending on your use case, different object types are provided (such as BAdIs, CDS views, business object interfaces).
