Process order management is a process that is used to convert the raw materials into the finished and semi-finished products.
Process manufacturing with process orders in SAP ERP enables
batch-oriented manufacturing in the process industry on the basis of recipes
and production versions. In My Company pharma environment, process order is a
mandatory requirement.
A process order describes the production of batches (materials) in a
production run. A Process order defines the following:
§
Which materials are to be processed
§
What quantities are to be produced
§
Which resources are to be used
§
When (at what time) is that order to be processed (scheduling)
§
It also defines how the order costs are to be settled.
