SAP PP INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

    SAP Production Planning Interview Questions
 
    Can we create Production order without bom and routing ?

yes we can create a production order without BOM & routing. Change the Config in OPL8 (order type dependent parameters) as routing optional. But it may ask for a sales order when we try to create order using CO01

    what is the difference between PP and PP-PI? Which one is better and how ?

PP--> Production Planning mostly used for discrete type of industries, where at the time of confirmation the output is sure to be fixed. eg Automobile 

PP- PI--> Production Planning for Process Industries , here mostly used for the typical chemical industries , as the Yield is not fixed due to chemical reaction yield values can be varied to noticeable extent. Eg X+Y =Z some 10 kg of X and 1 KG of Y gives yield that is Z of 10 Kg only.

     If there are some errors in goods movements, and less stock of material consumed, how can i solve that problem in SAP ?

According to me COGI is basically a SAP standardized system which will tell you that what is the error in some cases it can rectify it too. But if the entry is done manually by MB1A, MB1B, MB1C you have to bring back or cancel the movement or move the stock to desired material and then refresh COGI.

    If there are some errors in goods movements, and less stock of material consumed, how can we solve that problem in SAP ?

First you have to do revoke Teco and then process the order, otherwise system won't allow..

    Explain why their is need of production version ?

In production version, we assign the BOM and ROUTING combination. And in case of alternate BOMs , it clears which alternative bom has to be selected automatically.

    What happens to planned after it has been converted into production order ?

When you convert Planned order to Production order. the planned order are offset by production order. Reference of planned order can be seen in the production order.

    How to attach a drawing for a material to BOM ? Is it possible ?

Yes, you can attach a drawing. First create a document using Transaction Code "CV01N - Create Document". Attach your drawing in that document. The system will generate a document number. Assign this document in the BOM with item category D. Report in Long Term Planning - You use long term planning for your customers, what they need are very simple, just to calculate future requirements for 1 or 2 years.

     Are there any reports in SAP to list of material requirement from LTP ?

You need a list of material requirement from long term planning result for each item. Use MS70 then use MCEC.

    How to delete a group of products that was created in screen MC84 ?

Delete the members in the product group and then archive the product group in transaction SARA, object=MM_MATNR. (The product group is created as a material master record with material type PROD and this record is deleted in SARA.)
