Work-In-Process (WIP) Batch
1 Purpose
Work-in-Process (WIP) Batch scenario describes the coloring of Polyethylene powder with green
pigment through an extruder. Polyethylene powder is premixed with green pigment in Extruder
feed vessel and later colored through the extruder. The resulting material from extruder is
defined as Green Polyethylene granules. The scenario shows enhanced product traceability and
tracking of WIP inventory between manufacturing operations / phases.
WIP batch in manufacturing represents intermediate status of the product in production at
different stages /operations. It helps to document WIP material being produced between different
steps in production process & also ascertain current properties of the material that is being
produced.
WIP batches can hence be used to execute following:


Work in process tracking on operation / phase level of a production or process order
Documentation of the actual characteristics / status of a product which is in production
2 Prerequisites
2.1 Master Data and Organizational Data
Default Values
Essential master and organizational data was created in your ERP system in the implementation
phase, such as the data that reflects the organizational structure of your company and master
data that suits its operational focus, for example, master data for materials, vendors, and
customers.
The business process is enabled with this organization-specific master data, examples are
provided in the next section.
Additional Default Values
You can test the scenario with other SAP Best Practices default values that have the
same characteristics.
Check your SAP ECC system to find out which other material master data exists.
Using Your Own Master Data
You can also use customized values for any material or organizational data for
which you have created master data. For more information on how to create master
data, see the Master Data Procedures documentation.
Use the following master data in the process steps described in this document:

Use
WIP batches are created during Process order confirmation entries at phase level.
In this process step, WIP batches created during pre-mixing phase are merged to create a new
WIP batch. This WIP batch will represent premixed PE powder with green pigment and will be
input batch / material to Extruder.

4.8 Create Goods Receipt & batch of finished material
using WIP Batch
Use
After completion of production execution activities for coloring of Polyethylene powder with green
pigment, goods receipt of Green PE granules (CH-6450) is entered in process order confirmation
transaction. The goods receipt batch is created with reference to WIP batch (created in last
step).
This ensures creation of n:m (many-to-many) relationships between input and goods receipt
batch.

Additional Information on confirmation cancellation when created with WIP batches
The system posts the confirmations for the operation/phase and for the WIP batches
individually. Hence during confirmation display you will see two items – one for
phase confirmation & other for WIP entries. It is also possible to enter yield during
WIP goods receipt. Therefore we need to cancel both – phase confirmation & WIP
batch entry confirmation or individually if we only want to cancel activities.
The system cancels the confirmed quantities and activities and the posted goods
receipts. However, the system does not reinstate the previous characteristic value
assignments of a WIP batch, revokes no assignments between WIP batches and
order items, and does not delete any WIP batches that were created in the
confirmation. If necessary, you must perform these actions manually to reinstate the
original status of the confirmation for your process order.
