Production Planning and Control: Configuration
Guide
1
Purpose
This configuration guide provides the information you need to set up the configuration of this building
block manually.
If you do not want to configure manually and prefer an automated installation process using the SAP
Best Practices Installation Assistant and other tools, refer to the SAP Best Practices Quick Guide.
The technical objects associated to each configuration covered in this document, can be found on the
Global Master List spreadsheet, matching according to the title of the activity.
2 Preparation
2.1 Prerequisites
Before you start installing this scenario, you must install prerequisite building blocks. For more
information, see the Building Block Prerequisites Matrix for SAP Best Practices Baseline Package
3 Configuration/Installation
4
Basic Data
4.1
Defining BOM Usages
Use
In this step, you define the BOM usages. When you define a BOM usage, you define the configuration
of the item status. The item status is made up of a number of indicators in the BOM item (for example,
relevant to production, relevant to engineering/design, and so on). The item status controls how the
BOM item is processed in related application areas.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu
Production  Basic Data  Bill of Material  General Data 

Use
Modification parameters are generally one-time settings for BOM management, which you should not
change after you start using BOMs productively. In the standard system, default values are defined.

Defining Wage Group
Use
In this step you define wage groups for operations and work centers. By assigning an operation or a
work center to a wage group you can evaluate the work to be performed in the operation from a job
evaluation point of view (for instance suitable for unskilled labor or requiring special training). When
you confirm the operation, you enter the wage group that was actually used.

Defining Setup Type and Setup Group
Use
In this step, you define setup. Setup includes:

Setup type key: You define the setup type according to plant by using the setup type
key. You can print out setup type with shop floor papers. In sequencing, the optimum
sequences for setup are determined with the setup type key.

Setup group category: The setup group category classifies the setup groups. Setup
group categories are plant-dependent.

Setup group: The setup group combines operations with the same or similar setup
conditions. In capacity levelling, you can optimize the sequence using the setup
group.

In this step, you specify the reduction strategy to be used when the reduction measures are carried out
on operations. Scheduling reduces the lead time automatically if the basic dates given are not adhered
to, that is if the scheduled dates lie outside the basic dates.

In this kind of planning run, the system only plans those materials that have undergone a change in
the planning horizon that is relevant to MRP. In such cases, the material receives a net change
planning indicator in the planning file.
You make this specification for a plant. You can determine an alternative planning horizon for the MRP
groups.

6.13 Reference Plant for Access to Central Master Data Tables
Use
The reference plant is used to reduce maintenance effort for the following master data:

planning calendar

planning cycle

range of coverage profile
 rounding profile
Using the function reference plant you only need to maintain this master data in one plant (in the
reference plant). The other plants that use the same master data only need to refer to the reference
plant. In this way, all the master data that has been maintained in the reference plant is automatically
available for the assigned plants.
