detailed description of the field settings (configuration).

The following process overview shows the integration of the Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Esti-
mate and the MRP Calculation in the overall process.

Customizing – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 8/102

Think ahead. Go there.

In order to create the Softproviding Meat applications Standard Cost Estimate and MRP Calculation
as well as disassembly orders, various master data are required. Before these applications can be ex-
ecuted, these master data must be created. These are mainly the master data Cut and Cut List as well

Customizing – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 9/102

Think ahead. Go there.

as Material, Routing and Work Center. Cut and Cut List are Softproviding-Meat-specific master data in
Disassembly. Material, Routing and Work Center are SAP Standard master data. For a description of
how to create these master data, please refer to the following user documentation:
— Disassembly, “Master Data: Disassembly”.

Cut lists could be described as a sort of “reverse BOM”. They start with the topmost input material
which is then disassembled with the predefined cuts. The calculations and disassembly orders men-
tioned above are based on a cut list, which again consists of a number of n cuts.

The Softproviding Standard Cost Estimate (as a pre-calculation, push calculation) calculates the cut
list from the topmost input material down to the output materials with the aim of calculating them
on both quantity and value basis. The Softproviding MRP Calculation (push/pull) calculates the cut
list based on the needed requirements. The program aims to calculate the smallest quantity of input
material as possible that are needed to cover the requirements (optimization). The results of both cal-
culations may be updated into a manual calculation (SAP Standard costing). There, they serve to val-
uate the materials and may be used in subsequent processes.

The Purchasing Decision application supports the planner in the decision of whether to procure the
input/output materials externally or disassemble them in-house (make or buy). The calculation re-
sults may be defined as manual calculations and are available as basis for further calculations.

Disassembly orders are needed in order to collect materials (input and output) for disassembly process
entry. Disassembly orders are Softproviding Meat-specific production orders that are only used in Dis-
assembly. They collect the material costs that arise from disassembly inbounds and outbounds as
well as the labor costs needed or caused in Disassembly.

For further information on the above-mentioned calculations and disassembly orders, please refer to
the Disassembly user documentation

3 Configuration/Production

3.1 Central Settings

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Cross-Plant under Central Settings as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Central Settings > Cross-Plant

This table is used for basic settings for the areas of Calculation and Disassembly. The most important
settings are:
— Units of measure (units)
— Units of measurer (weight)
— Price unit
— Unit calculation

Use
In calculations (Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate and MRP Calculation) and in Disassem-
bly, the unit of measure (UoM) is called weight unit of measure. Examples for these units of measure
are the weight units kilogram (kg) or pound (lb). Further units of measure which may be used in par-
allel are the so-called double unit of measure and the UoM for the unit itself.

These units of measure are used in the following applications:

— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculations
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Orders

The double unit of measure (DUM) is not activated in Customizing. These settings are made in the
material master database. For further information please refer to the Disassembly user documenta-
tion.

The price unit specifies the number of UoMs to which the price refers. The price unit always refers to
the weight unit of measure.

Example: price unit

— Quantity (weight) input material = 100 kg
— Price = 2.00 Euro
— Price unit = 5 kg
— Result: total value = 40 Euro

The unit UoM may only be used if unit calculation is activated in this table.

We are talking of unit calculation if

— the entry unit of measure = units, or, for instance,
— the unit of measure = kg and the unit UoM = units.

Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites that must be fulfilled to be able to make entries in this table.

Activities/Recommendations
Make the necessary setting. None of the fields is defined as mandatory entry. In this table you may
make entries with respect to units of measure, for instance, entries on the weight unit of measure and
on the units unit of measure. These entries will then be transferred to the respective applications.

Note
Entries on the units of measures weight and units as well as on the price unit in this table may be overruled
with the settings in table Production > Central Settings > Plant.

3.1.1 Cross-Plant

tion.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 14/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Dependencies
The currency is determined according to the following sequence:
— Plant-dependent settings (table /SPMEAT/TC001W)
— General settings (table /SPMEAT/TC001)

The currency from the company code is used if neither of the

above-mentioned table has any entry in this respect.
Tree Control - Default Width Numerical key with a maximum of 4 digits to define the width of
the cutting list tree.

Use
If master data (cut list) or calculations (standard cost estimate
and MRP costing) are called up in the SAP-GUI, the screen is split
into two parts. The cut list is displayed on the left and the settings
and calculation results on the right. The width of the left screen
(cut list) can be adjusted by optionally entering a key in this field.

The following rules apply

— The field is without an entry
The following default width is used for the display: Master
data = 500 and calculations = 750
— The field is provided with an entry
This value is used for the display of master data and calcu-
lations.

culations erage of requirements.

Use
The indicator can be used in MRP calculation.

This indicator has the following functions

— Indicator is set
The requirements are covered depending on the quantities
received. The indicator should be set if push-pull planning
is carried out
— Indicator is not set
The program chooses the best variant to cover a demand
without considering the input quantities
Use unit calculation If this indicator is set, it is possible to activate unit calculation.

Dependencies
This activation may later be set in the material master database,
Disassembly tab, for the desired material. In order to do so, the
Unit material field is selected, which will display the Unit UoM
field (e.g. PC = pieces).

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 15/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Use
After the field is activated in the material master database, a unit
quantity may be entered in the Unit quantity (PC) field:
— Cut (for input and output materials)
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate (for input mate-
rials)
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation (for input and output
materials)
— Disassembly process entry, inbound and outbound

Default settings
By default this indicator is not set.

Note
For unit calculation, not every material must be necessarily marked
as unit material. It makes sense, to mark only the primal cuts as unit
materials.
Do not show warning for Setting this indicator will prevent that a log is output for the fol-
movement data lowing calculations.

Use
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Calculation

When a calculation is saved the system will generally check

whether there are any messages (errors or warnings). If this is the
case, a log is output. If this field is checked, the log containing any
warnings is suppressed when the calculation is saved. If, how-
ever, the log contains error messages it will always be output.

This is a global setting, meaning it is not plant-dependent. Explic-

itly executed checks of a calculation (Check cut button) are not af-
fected by it, meaning all messages are displayed.

Default settings
By default, this indicator is not set.

Field Name Description

If this field is not filled, the production cost will be displayed in

the above-mentioned overview.

Dependencies
The table entries of customizing item Softproviding Meat > Produc-
tion > Master Data > Cost Group are maintained by Softproviding
and should only be changed after consultation with Softproviding
AG.

3.1.2 Plant Group

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Plant Group as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Central Settings > Plant Group

Note
The table on work groups is intended for a future and is without functionality in the current release.

3.1.3 Plant
In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Plant for the plant-dependent settings as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Central Settings > Plant

This table is used for basic settings in the areas of Calculation and Disassembly. These settings are
made by plant. The most important settings are:
— Unit of measure (weight)
— Units of measurer (units)
— Price unit
— Optimization for calculations
— Cost views

Use
In calculations and in Disassembly, the unit of measure (UoM) in which data entry takes place is
called weight unit of measure. Typically, the unit of measure used here is the weight unit kilo (kg) or
pound (lb). Further units of measure which may be used in parallel are the so-called double unit of
measure and the UoM for the unit itself.

These units of measure are used in the following applications:

— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 18/102

Think ahead. Go there.

— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Orders

The double unit of measure (DUM) is not activated in Customizing. These settings are made in the
respective material master database.

The price unit specifies the number of UoMs to which the price refers. The price unit always refers to
the weight unit of measure.

Example: price unit

— Quantity (weight) input material = 100 kg
— Price = 2.00 Euro
— Price unit = 5 kg
— Result: total value = 40 Euro

We are talking of unit calculation if

— the entry unit of measure = units, or
— for instance, the unit of measure = kg and the unit UoM = units.

In the Softproviding Meat calculations, an aggregated view on the costs situation may be called via
the cost views. The standard layouts used for this may be adjusted per customer in this table.

Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites that must be fulfilled to be able to make entries in this table.

Activities/Recommendations
Make the necessary setting. None of the fields is defined as mandatory entry. In this table you may
make entries with respect to units of measure, for instance, entries on the weight unit of measure
(disassembly UoM) and on the units unit of measure (disassembly unit UoM). These entries will then
be transferred to the respective applications

It is recommended to use plant-dependent entries for these units of measure if there are no existing
cross-plant entries available. If there are no entries made for either of the tables, the system will use
kg (kilogram) or PC (pieces) in the applications

Note
Entries on the units of measures weight and units as well as on the price unit in this table may be overruled
with the settings in table Production – Central Settings > Cross-Plant.

Entries may be created by selecting the New Entries button.

This unit of measure is used, among others, in the following mas-
ter data and applications:
— Cut (for input and output materials)
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Orders

Default settings
This unit of measure must be a weight unit of measure (e.g. kg,
ton). The input help (F4) therefore only provides weight units of
measure for selection.

Dependencies
The weight UoM is determined according to the following se-
quence:
— Plant-dependent settings (table /SPMEAT/TC001W)
— General settings (table /SPMEAT/TC001)
— Kilogram (kg) is used if neither of the above-mentioned ta-
bles has any entry in this respect.

Recommendation
Typically, the weight UoM is kilogram (kg) or pound (lb).

Note
Instead of the plant-specific entries, a general setting may be made in
table Production – Central Settings > Cross-Plant.
Work. Time UoM This unit of measure is used as UoM for the calculation of working
times in calculations and disassembly processes.

Use
This unit is used as follows:
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Disassembly Orders

Default settings
From the F4 input help, time units (e.g. MIN, HRS) may be se-
lected.

Field Name Description

Example
— Quantity (weight) input material = 100 kg
— Price = 2.00 Euro
— Price unit = 5 kg
— Result: total value = 40 Euro

Note
Instead of the plant-specific entries, a general setting may be made in
table Production – Central Settings > Cross-Plant.
DAP UoM (units) If the following prerequisites are met the unit UoM is available as
independent unit of measure in the Softproviding Meat calcula-
tions and disassembly orders.

Prerequisites
— The Use unit calculation indicator in table /SPMEAT/TC001
was set.
— The Quantity (units) field in the material master database,
Disassembly tab, was selected.

Use
This unit of measure is used, among others, in the following mas-
ter data and applications:
— Cut (for input and output materials)
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Orders

Dependencies
The units UoM is determined according to the following sequence:
— Plant-dependent settings (table /SPMEAT/TC001W)
— General settings (table /SPMEAT/TC001)

Units (= PC) is used if neither of the above-mentioned tables has

any entry in this respect.

Note
Instead of the plant-specific entries, a general setting may be made in

Field Name Description

— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Calculation

In these application this is a default setting which may be

changed.

Default settings
The following rounding options are available:
— Round up (+)
— Round down (-)
— Round to the next whole number (x)
— No rounding (blank)

Background information
In the material master database ((Disassembly tab), a material
may be marked as unit material (Unit material field). In the
Softproviding Meat calculations as well as in the disassembly or-
ders the Quantity (units) field is ready to input a planned quantity
for the respective input or output material.

Example
If in Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation for material planning in
the disassembly order, a value of 9.6 is entered in the Quantity
(units) field and the rounding parameter is set to round to the next
whole number the quantity (units) is set to 10 after the entry is
confirmed with Enter.
Cut w/o routing – default If this indicator is set, the Cut without routing indicator in the cut
is checked by default.

Use
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Calculation

If this indicator is set, the cut will not use routings, meaning, no
other costs (i.e. labor costs) will be calculated for this cut.

Default settings
By default, this indicator is not set.

Note
In the cut, either a routing must specified or this indicator set.
Yield groups This field is intended for a future release and does not have any
functionality in the current release.

Double quantity – Rounding When calculating the schedule line quantity, rounding can be per-
formed automatically.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 25/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Example
The planning unit of measure in distribution planning, which is
defined in the requirements plan, can differ from the schedule line
unit of measure, for instance:
— Planning UoM = KG
— Schedule line UoM = Stück

If this is the case, the quantity must be converted from the plan-
ning unit of measure (KG) to the schedule line unit of measure
(piece) and possibly rounded.

Standard settings
The following rounding options are available:
— No rounding
— Round up (+)
— Round down (-)
— Round to the next integer (x)
Complex Tree Iterations Over- Settings for this indicator and field can improve the performance
ride (indicator) of an MRP calculation. These settings are available as of release
v5.70.
Complex Tree Iterations
(field) Use
If this indicator is set, the program does not optimize the demand
for all cuts for which a material can be produced, but only for the
cut for which this material is the main material. An entry is then
made in the field Iter. Complex then has no effect.

If the indicator is not set, the optimization is performed according

to the number of iterations entered in the Iter. Complex field. The
entry in the field shows the maximum number of calculations that
can be performed to optimally cover a requirement from all cuts.
In the Softproviding Meat standard (i.e. without an entry in the
Iter. Complex field), a maximum of 100 calculations are performed
if the program was not able to find an optimized balance for all
cuts beforehand.

Recommendation
If this optimization is not required (because the requirements of a
material are only to be covered from one cut), you should set the
indicator and the value in the field Iter. Complex to 0.
IBP integration active Indicator used to activate the IBP interface.

After activation, the interface between MRP Calculation and SAP

IBP can be used. Assignments to materials in the cut lists are also
possible. The IBP Constraint field is used for this. The field con-
tents are selected using the input help (F4). For each material in

the cutting list, you can define which quantities are to be trans-
ferred to IBP Response and Supply Planning as a constraint for opti-
mization.

Use
If material assignments to the constraint have been made in the
cut list, this information (such as calculation number, material,
quantity) is made available in view /SPMEAT/V_IBPCO.
New sequence determination Sequence determination indicator.
(BETA)
Use
This indicator is a preliminary step for future developments in the
area of MRP Calculation. It is currently not intended for produc-
tive use. The indicator may only be set after consultation with
Softproviding.

Caution
Please do not set the indicator, it may lead to unexpected and un-
desired results in the calculation.

3.2 Master Data / Cut

This section describes the settings for the following tables:

— Allowed Material Types

— Inspection Settings
— Number Ranges: Cuts
— Enhancement – Cut

In the Implementation Guide these menu items are called as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Master Data > Cut

3.2.1 Allowed Material Types

Use
In this table, material types which may be used for the creation of cuts are defined by plant. Materials
the material types of which are not defined here cannot be used when the cuts are defined. In this
case, an error message would be displayed in the application.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 27/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Examples
Typically, a separate material type is created for livestock and disassembly materials (e.g. ZVIE,
ZERL). This material type must then be entered in this table. Further examples for entries in this table
are:
— ROH
— HALB

Field Name Description

Plant The plant is a company’s production site.
Material type Definition
The material type is a key which assigns the material to a group of
materials like raw materials, operating supplies, trading goods,
etc. The material type determines certain properties of a material
and has important controlling functions.

Use
Materials which are created with a defined material type may be
used for the creation of cuts.

Examples of material types

— ROH (raw materials)
— HALB (semi-finished goods)
— ZERL (disassembly materials)

Materials for which the material type is not defined here may not
be used for the definition of cuts. In this case, an error message
would be displayed in the application.

Default settings
In the F4 input help, all defined material types are provided for se-
lection.

3.2.2 Check Settings

Use
When creating and subsequently saving cuts and calculations it is useful to undertake checks in order
to prevent the saving incorrect less useful settings. For this reason, several checks are provided which
also may be linked to a message type.

Field Name Description

Cut ‒ Check Use
Various settings may be made for the checking of cuts and calcu-
lations when they are saved.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 28/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Values
The following inspections may be selected:
— Stock type: Output material = input material or without
stock type
— Material: All output materials set to ‘Fixed’

Note
The distribution of the material costs of an input material to the out-
put materials is carried out on the basis of fixed prices and equiva-
lence numbers. If, however, all output items of a cut are set to fixed
price, this may lead to inconsistencies within the calculation. There
must at least be one variable item (i.e. an item with an equivalence) so
the values to be distributed are correctly passed on to the outputs.
This applies both to material and labor costs.

— Routing: Deletion flag set

— Routing: Validity
— Material: Deletion flag set
— Cut to zero: No item set
— Cut to zero: More than one item set
— Material: Output material has a quotient of 0%
— Unit material: Count basis/mult is set
Message type The message type substantiates the setting for the inspection
(see Cut ‒ Inspection field). Without explicitly selected message
type, the Default type is assigned. Default means that a Warning
message is displayed.

Values
The following message types may be assigned:
— Default
— Information
— Warning
— Error
— Success (info W/o popup, or none

Example
The inspection “Material: Output material has a quotient of 0%” is
set to Error”.

Result
When the cut is saved an error message is displayed for those ma-
terials which do not have an entry in the Quotient in % field. In
this case saving is not possible.

3.2.3 Number Ranges: Cuts

Use
In this step, the number range for number range object /SPMEAT/CT (cut number) is defined. After
the IMG activity is started, a new entry may be made using the buttons Intervals and Insert interval.

Field Name Description

No. This number uniquely identifies a numbers range interval within
an object or sub-object.
From number 0000000001
To number 9999999999
Current number For internal numbers ranges the current number field shows the
number that assigned last.
Ext This indicator determines whether this is an external or internal
numbers range interval.

For internal numbers range intervals, number assignment is car-

ried out via the system. The number is assigned automatically
and lies between the from- and the to-number. For external num-
ber assignment, the number must be entered by the user and must
lie between the from- and the to-number.

Note
If this field is not selected, internal number assignment will be carried
out.

Note
Note that all intervals for the selected number range object are deleted in the target system first. After the
import, only the intervals you export are present. The number statuses are imported with their values at
the time of export.

Dependent tables are not transported or converted.

3.2.4 Enhancement – Cut

Use
An implementation may be created for BAdI /SPMEAT/BADI_CUTK. This possible enhancement is
described in detail in the “Enhancement” section further down.

3.3 Master Data / Cut List

This section describes the settings for the following tables:
— Check Settings
— Number Ranges: Cut Lists
— Enhancement – Cut List

In the Implementation Guide for the Softproviding Meat Customizing these menu items are called as
follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Master Data > Cut List

3.3.1 Check Settings

Use
When creating and then saving cut lists and calculations, it makes sense to carry out checks to pre-
vent incorrect or less useful settings from being saved. For this reason, various checks are offered for
the settings, which can also be linked to a message type.

Field Name Description

Cut list ‒ Check The following setting options can be chosen for this field:
— Validity
Cut lists are assigned a validity (from ... to) at header level.
A cut list that is no longer valid can no longer be used when
creating an MRP calculation if the "Error" message has
been assigned to this check.
— Material is main product in multiple source cuts (BP).
If a material in a cut list is created from several cuts and
this material is marked as the main product in more than
one cut in this cut list, this setting can be used to indicate
this when the cut list is checked. A product is a main prod-
uct if the by-product indicator in the cut is not set. The de-
fault message type is Warning (W).
— Planning strategy: Surplus cut or cut to complete at
zero
In certain calculation scenarios, a cut in the cut list is
marked as a surplus cut or a cut to complete at zero. The
check for this can be activated with this setting. The de-
fault message type is Success (S).
— Material status for disassembly orders (T141)
If materials of a cut list have a status in the material master
(warning or error), the user can be informed with this set-
ting.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 31/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Prerequisites
The check and user information take place if the following set-
tings have been made:
— Definition of the status in Customizing
Transaction OMS4: Table T141 (material status defined)
with an entry in the field Note FA/NP item.
— Assignment of the status for the material in the mate-
rial master
Basic data tab (cross-plant material status) or MRP 1 tab
(plant-specific material status)
— Activation of the check setting
Entry in this table

If the prerequisites are met, a corresponding message (W or E) is

output in the log when a cut-off process order is created (directly
or based on an MRP calculation).

Note
The output of warnings in the log can be switched off across plants in
Meat Customizing (IMG: Softproviding Meat > Production > Central
Settings > Cross-Plant). If the Do not display warnings for move-
ment data indicator is set here, warnings or information messages
that should actually be output on the basis of these settings for the
material status/cutting list check are switched off.

Recommendation
Softproviding recommends setting the planning strategy check to
E (Error) to alert the user to any errors when saving the MRP cal-
culation.

These settings are relevant in MRP Calculation and in the calcula-

tion of disassembly orders. Afterwards, a message type is as-
signed to this setting.
Message type For the validity check the following message types may be as-
signed:
— Default
— Information
— Warning
— Error
— Success (info W/o popup, or none

Use
These messages are displayed at the point of creation in the fol-
lowing applications:
— Standard Cost Estimate
— MRP Calculation
— Purchasing Decision
— Mass Calculation

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 32/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

— Disassembly Order

The message is output either in the form of a pop-up or as line in-

formation at the bottom of the screen. In applications other than
those mentioned (e.g. in the material master if an invalid cut list
has been assigned there), no messages are output.

3.3.2 Number Ranges: Cut Lists

Use
In this step, the number range for the number range object /SPMEAT/CL (cut list number) is defined.
After the IMG activity was started, a new entry may be made using the buttons Intervals and Insert
interval.

Field Name Description

No. This number uniquely identifies a numbers range interval within
an object or sub-object.
From number 0000000001
To number 9999999999
Current number For internal numbers ranges the current number field shows the
number that assigned last.
Ext This indicator determines whether this is an external or internal
numbers range interval.

For internal numbers range intervals, number assignment is car-

ried out via the system. The number is assigned automatically
and lies between the from- and the to-number. For external num-
ber assignment, the number must be entered by the user and must
lie between the from- and the to-number.

Note
If this field is not selected, internal number assignment will be carried
out.

Note
Note that all intervals for the selected number range object are deleted in the target system first. After the
import, only the intervals you export are present. The number statuses are imported with their values at
the time of export.

Dependent tables are not transported or converted.

3.4.1 Cost Groups

Use
This Customizing item is relevant for the cost views in the following application areas:
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Orders

The cost views give an overview of the cost structure for the selected calculation. In the above-men-
tioned applications, a cost view may be called on various levels. This allows you to compare costs
both at order level (all costs) and cut level for the individual output materials.

Important Note
These table entries are maintained by Softproviding AG and must not be changed without consulting
Softproviding.

Field Name Description

Output sequence In this field, the output sequence of the cost groups within the out-
put type is determined.
Separate values (cut / rolled If this field is selected, when displayed in the cost view of the cal-
up / total) culations (Standard Cost Estimate, MRP Calculation, Disassembly
Orders) a differentiation is made for the respective cost group be-
tween the costs of the cut and the rolled up costs.
Technical field (no output) If this field is selected, the cost group is not displayed in the appli-
cation. It is only used internally for calculation purposes.

3.4.2 Cost Pools

This section is used to define the cost pools and to assign appropriate cost groups (e.g. direct material
costs) and activity types (e.g. cooking).

Use
The cost pools are used to display the disassembly labor costs in the calculations. In the applications
(Softproviding Standard Cost Estimate, MRP Calculation and Disassembly Order Calculation) they
are displayed in every cut (Other Costs tab).

Prerequisites
The prerequisites that must be given in order to calculate the labor costs in the application (and, con-
sequently to display them in the cost pools) are dealt with in detail in the Softproviding Meat user
documentation Disassembly.

Table Fields
Field Name Description
Cost pool A cost pool is defined by a key with a maximum of 3 digits. Al-
lowed values are C01 to C99. Cost pools are used to represent labor
costs.

Use
Cost pools are displayed via cut list in the various applications of
the calculation (Standard Cost Estimate, MRP Calculation and
Disassembly Order Calculation) at cut level. In the cut list, the
cost pool keys are replaced by the respective long text.

Examples
— C01 = Costs of slaughtering
— C02 = Costs of primal cutting
— C03 = Costs of deboning

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 36/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Use
In this screen area you define the cost pools and assign cost
groups for the disassembly process calculation. If you don’t want
to make any assignments, the respective fields may remain
empty. The long text maintained here is displayed in the tabs of
the cut list.

Examples
— Costs of slaughtering
— Costs of primal cutting
— Costs of deboning

Note
In the application, all defined cost pools are always displayed at all
levels even if the cost pool does not have any own labor costs at a cer-
tain cut level. Cost pools are required to be represented at all cut levels
due to cost rollup.
Long text Freely selectable, 40-digit text for the long name of the cost
group. This name is displayed in the cost views of the applica-
tions.
Short text Freely selectable, 20-digit text for the short name of the cost
group.
Cost group An entry in this fields ensures that the costs are displayed in the
Variable / Internal cost view.

Cost group Values

Variable / External — Production costs
— Production overhead
Cost group — Overhead costs
Fixed / Internal — Direct material costs

Cost group Recommendation

Fixed / External The costs will not be displayed in the cost view if there no entries
made in these fields. For this reason, these fields should never be
left empty.
Marginal costs This indicator can be set for all of the four cost group mentioned
above.
Default Value for Fixed Indi- Definition
cator ‒ Activity Type Activity types represent the activities of a cost center and are
measured in time or quantity units of measure (e.g. hours or kilo-
gram).

Examples
— Disassembling
— Cooking
— Defrosting

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 37/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Here, an entry may be made per cost pool. Together with the de-
fined cost center (see next field), this entry will be used as default
value in the Softproviding Meat calculations if they contain man-
ually defined rates for the calculation of labor costs. This done in
the calculations in the Other Costs tab with the Fixed indicator.

Assigning a manual rate in the calculation (i.e. without calculat-

ing the labor cost via an assigned routing) requires the entry of an
activity and cost center, so the calculated labor costs may be dis-
tributed.

This allows you to calculate the labor costs without a routing at

cut level. Any existing routings will be overruled by this manual
rate.

Note
This default assignment may also be made directly at material level In
the material master Disassembly view.

Dependencies
An entry only makes only sense together with a cost center.

Values
All defined activity types are displayed in the F4 input help.
Cost center Definition
A cost center is an organizational unit within a controlling area. It
represents a clearly delimited location where costs occur.

Dependencies
An entry only makes only sense together with the activity type.

Values
All defined cost centers are displayed in the F4 input help.

Activity type If a cost pool should be able to display the labor costs in the calcu-
lation (based on the cut assigned in the routing), the activity
types relevant to the cost pool must be assigned here.

Example
For material 2002 (pig half) a routing with the operation Slaugh-
tering was created and assigned to the respective cut. Activity
type 420 (disassembly personnel) was assigned to the routing op-
eration. The activity type is now assigned to cost pool CO1
(Slaughtering) in the same customizing menu item. In the calcula-
tion, the labor costs for slaughtering will then be displayed in the
cost pool for slaughtering.

Values
Al defined activity types are displayed in the F4 input help.

Activity
In the input help, select the desired activity type.

3.4.3 Disassembly Processes

In this section, disassembly processes are defined by plant and then, if desired, assigned to a profit
center.

Use
A disassembly process is an organizational process in Slaughtering and Disassembly. Disassembly
processes are mandatory for the creation of cuts.

Note
Disassembly processes may already be assigned in the material master database. The disassembly process
is mandatory if you want to create a cut and it is transferred according to the default values in the material
master database.

Examples
— Cutting halves
— Primal cutting
— Deboning

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 39/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Table Fields
Field Name Description
Plant The plant is a company’s production site.
Disassembly process A disassembly process is an organizational process in Slaughter-
ing and Disassembly. Disassembly processes are defined by speci-
fying a key with a maximum of 4 digits.

Use
When a disassembly order is created, the assigned disassembly
processes are proposed for selection.

Activities
Disassembly processes are required for the creation of cuts and
are transferred to the cuts according to the default values in the
material master database. For this reason, do define the needed
disassembly processes in Customizing.

Examples
— SCHL = Slaughtering
— GROB = Primal cutting
— FEIN = Deboning
Text Description of a disassembly process. This text is displayed in the
applications.
Profit Center Definition
A profit center is an organizational unit in accounting that re-
flects the organization for the purpose of internal control. Assign-
ing a profit center to a disassembly process is optional. However,
the following should be kept in mind:

Note
When you want to create a disassembly order you should make sure
that the selected disassembly processes are assigned to the same
profit center. Otherwise the order cannot be created. If different dis-
assembly processes (e.g. primal cutting, deboning) are assigned to dif-
ferent profit centers, these disassembly processes cannot be used for
the same disassembly order. Using disassembly processes without
profit center, however, does not prevent the creation of a disassembly
order if, also, disassembly orders with profit center are selected.

Note
Assigning a profit center to a disassembly process is not necessarily
required in order to create a profit center document. If no profit center
is assigned to disassembly processes (i.e. no entry is made in this ta-
ble), the dummy profit center will be written to the Profit Center field
when the profit center document is created, provided Profit Center Ac-
counting is activated. The Partner Profit Center field which is kept in

Field Name Description

parallel is filled with profit center from the respective material master
database.

Recommendation
From a process point of view, Softproviding recommends to as-
sign the desired profit center to each disassembly process in this
table.

Adjustment options
If, from a process or company point of view, it is not possible or
desired to assign the disassembly order to the profit centers as de-
scribed above, there is an option in SAP Standard with which to
represent the internal relationships between profit centers:
— Maintaining the SAP table with transaction 0KEK (EC-PCA
Account Assignment).

In this case, the respective internal profit center relationships are

represented in the profit center document. This allows you to
evaluate via the profit center of the output materials in Disassem-
bly.

For further details on these settings, please contact your Softpro-

viding consultant.
Sequence An entry in the Sequence field (values: 1, 2, 3, etc.) determines the
order in which the disassembly orders are presented in the dialog
window when a disassembly order is created, and which order
type is used, provided that different order types have been main-
tained for the disassembly processes used in the order type field
(see below).

Significance
If a cut list contains multiple cuts and different disassembly pro-
cesses, when the disassembly order is created, the selection of the
disassembly orders decides which cuts are relevant to the order
and thus for the data entries on this order.
Order types The order type is the key that distinguishes orders in terms of
their use. The order type is used to define parameters that influ-
ence the execution of the order.

Use
You can use different order types for disassembly process orders
by assigning them to the disassembly processes here. If no order
type is stored here for the plant and disassembly process, the or-
der type selected in the general settings for the disassembly pro-
cess is determined when disassembly process orders are created.
Please refer to chapter 3.12.1 (General Settings).

Field Name Description

Note
If different order types are assigned to disassembly processes, the or-
der type is determined according to the maintained sequence (see
above) when disassembly orders are created for several disassembly
processes. This order type then applies to the entire order and accord-
ingly to all disassembly processes in the order.

3.4.4 Disassembly Process Groups

In this step, the disassembly process group is defined.

Use
In the disassembly order the disassembly order group is displayed at material level. It is available as
a selection criterion in Disassembly Entry (inbound and outbound) as well as in the report for the av-
erage price determination.

Note
Assignments to a disassembly process group (Disassembly Process view) are made in the material master
database.

Examples
— Halves
— Shoulder
— Loin

Table Fields
Field Name Description
Disassembly proc. grp. The disassembly process group collects materials from the point
of Disassembly. The group is defined by a key with a maximum of
3 digits.

Use

In the following section, not all fields of these standard tables are described since they are not all
relevant for the respective applications and therefore do not require any mandatory settings to be
made.

3.5.1 Disassembly Order

3.5.1.1 Order Types
If you want to create disassembly orders you need to define order types first. The order type is the key
which differentiates the orders with regard to their actual use. Once the order types have been de-
fined, the order-dependent parameters may be created.

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Define Order Types as follows:

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 44/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Execution > SAP Standard > Pro-
duction Order

Table Fields
Field Name Description
Order category The order category defines the technical properties of an order.

Note
By default, order category 10 (PPS-Production Order) is used for dis-
assembly orders.
Order type The order type is the key which differentiates the orders with re-
gard to their use. The order type is assigned to an order category.

Recommendation
Softproviding recommends to use your own order type (e.g. ZPP1)
for disassembly orders.

Procedure
Use entry PP01 as copy model. For disassembly orders, this new
entry is typically created as order type ZPP1. For disassembly or-
ders in DPS you would usually use a different order type of your
own, for instance, ZDP1.

Dependencies
In a further step, this order type is assigned to the order category
disassembly process. This setting is made in the Softproviding
Meat Customizing under Logistic > Process Data Acquisition > Or-
ders > Order Types.
Settlement profile Use
The settlement profile assigned here will be transferred to the set-
tlement rule of the disassembly process. This rule is necessary to
be able to carry out closing work on the disassembly order.

The settlement profile may be

— created in advance and assigned via the input help, or
— created and assigned later.

played if the object’s balance is not zero.
Sourced structure The source structure is used to settle the costs incurred on the
sender (the disassembly order) to different receivers (order items)
depending on the cost element.

Note
No entry must be made in this field. The source structure is assigned
in the Softproviding Meat Customizing.

3.5.1.7 Formulas and Formula Parameters

In order to calculate labor costs in a calculation (Standard Cost Estimate, MRP or Disassembly Calcu-
lation, formulas (formulas) and formula parameters are required. A formula is made up from formula
parameters and is defined in the work center. In order to make the required formula available there, a
standard value key fitting the formula is as assigned in the work center. There the formulas are as-
signed to the desired activity. The routing derives this information from the assignation of the work
center to the routing’s operation. The routing, on the other hand, is transferred to the calculation
through the assignation to the respective cuts and cut lists.

Together with settings for activity and price planning, the labor costs are calculated. During this plan-
ning (e.g. fixed and variable costs), the settings for the combination of cost center and activity type
are made.

Note
In Customizing, own formulas and formula parameters may be defined, the predefined keys and parame-
ters provided by SAP can be used. Master data (e.g. routing, activity, and price planning) are not described
in this configuration guide.

For details on these setting options or examples, please refer to the chapters “Disassembly Orders” and
“Master Data” in the Disassembly user guide.

In the Implementation Guide, the tables for formulas, formula parameters and standard value keys
are called as follows:

Menu Production > Shop Floor Control > Operations > Scheduling
Transactions OPK2 (Formula parameters)
OPK3 (Formulas)
OPJQ (Standard value keys)

3.5.1.8 Activity Types

Think ahead. Go there.

Activity types are SAP Standard master data. For information on the setting options for these master
data, please refer to the appropriate SAP Standard documentation.

3.5.2 Production Order: Period-End Closing

This section describes the following tables or settings:
— Source structure
— Target version
— Variance key

3.5.2.1 Source Structure

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Create Source Structure as follows:

Menu Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Cost Object Controlling >
Product Cost by Order > Period End Closing > Settlement
Transaction OKEU

You may create new entries by selecting the New Entries or Copy as… button.

The source structure is used to settle the costs incurred on the sender (the disassembly order) to dif-
ferent receivers (order items) depending on the cost element. After the structure is created it is as-
signed in Softproviding Meat Customizing accordingly (Production > Execution > Disassembly Orders >
Plant-Dependent Settings).

Note
The source structure must not be defined in the settlement profile.

It is highly recommended to create an assignment for the material costs and an assignment for the labor
cost, so these costs may be converted separately into equivalence numbers (also see the example in the
“Period-End Closing” chapter in the Disassembly user documentation).

3.5.2.2 Target Cost Version

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Define Target Cost Versions as follows:

Menu Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Cost Object Controlling >
Product Cost by Order > Period End Closing > Variance Calculation
Transaction OKV6

You may create new entries by selecting the New Entries or Copy as… button.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 52/102

Think ahead. Go there.

The target cost version is prerequisite if you want determine variances within the framework of pe-
riod-end closing works. Target cost version 0 (target costs for total variances) must be assigned a sep-
arate variance variant for disassembly orders. The variance variant is also created under the Period-
End Closing menu item (transaction OKV6).

3.5.2.3 Variance Keys

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Define Variance Keys as follows:

Menu Controlling > Product Cost Controlling > Cost Object Controlling >
Product Cost by Order > Period End Closing > Variance Calculation
Transaction OKV1

You may create new entries by selecting the New Entries or Copy as… button.

Variances can only be determined for orders for which a variance key was entered. For this a variance
key is defined in Softproviding Meat Customizing (Production > Execution > Disassembly Orders >
Plant-Dependent Settings).

3.5.3 Long-Term Planning Calculation

3.5.3.1 Material Requirements Planning per Plant
To check the activation of MRP, call up the following maintenance view:

Maintenance View V_001W_B

If you want to assign a plant in the planning scenario, material requirements planning must be acti-
vated for this plant. The planning scenario is needed to start the Long-Term Planning Calculation. If
the indicator is activated, materials requirements planning may be carried out as total planning or as
single-item, multi-level planning.

3.5.3.2 Planned Independent Requirements Version

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Define Versions of Planned Independent Requirements as
follows:

Menu Production > Production Planning > Demand Management > Planned
Independent Requirements > Define Versions of Planned Independent
Requirements
Transaction OMP2

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 53/102

Think ahead. Go there.

If you want to assign a plant in the planning scenario a planned independent requirements planning
version must be assigned. This version is, for one, needed in order to simulate material requirements
planning within the framework of Long-Term Planning Calculation. SAP provides versions of their
own. For long-term planning, a separate Z version should be created.

Examples
Language EN
Version Z1
Version text Long-term planning

3.5.3.3 Define Selection Rules

In Long-Term Planning Calculation (LTP) the selection rule enhances the existing option of material
requirements determination. In the application this setting is optional. The selection rule defines
which MRP elements are indicated as relevant for availability and how stocks are to be calculated. A
selection rule consists of particular time information, MRP elements and stocks that are grouped to-
gether in a rule, which controls the selection (or import) of the data in the stock/requirements list.

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Define Selection Rules as follows:

Menu Materials Management > Consumption-Based Planning > Evaluation

> Filter > Define Selection Rules
Transaction OM0I

The selection rules delivered by SAP are sufficient. Creating new rules of your own is possible but not
required if you want to carry out Long-Term Planning Calculation. If you want to define your own
selection rules, you need to make sure that in the Selection Horizon only the Interval w/o limits is set.

3.6 Product Cost Planning / Standard Cost Estimate

3.6.1 General Settings
In the Implementation Guide, call menu item General Settings as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Product Cost Planning > Standard
Cost Estimate > General Settings

This table is used to configure basic settings for the Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate.
These settings are plant-independent.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 54/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Use
Here, default values for, among others, the price source and the calculation variant are defined. In
Standard Cost Estimate the entry in the prices source serves as default value for the valuation of ma-
terials procured externally.

In the application, the calculation variant is used to update the calculation data to an SAP Standard
costing (calculation without quantity structure).

An update to material master price fields (for instance, periodically to the standard price) is also pos-
sible. After the update, these results are available for subsequent applications (e.g. product calcula-
tion).

Standard Settings / Recommendations

For the Calculation variant field, a separate plan version should be defined.

Activities
Make the desired settings. None of the fields is defined as mandatory entry.

Table Fields
Entries may be created by selecting the New Entries button.

Field Name Description

Price source The price source defined here is used as default value for the ini-
tial price. In the calculation, the price source is relevant for all ma-
terials with the procurement types external procurement and both
procurement types (external procurement and in-house produc-
tion). The value defined here may be changed per input material
in Standard Cost Estimate. The price source provides information
on the origin of the price.

Use
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Long-Term Planning Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Calculation

Examples
— Standard price
— Planned price 1

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 55/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Dependencies
As to these default values, there are separate settings for the ap-
plications mentioned above.
Calculation variant The calculation variant determines how a calculation is carried
out and valuated. This entry serves as default value in the appli-
cation and may be changed there.

Use
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Calculation

The calculation variant is needed if the calculation data are to be

updated in an SAP Standard costing (calculation without quantity
structure).

Recommendation
In the calculations this field is mandatory. It is therefore recom-
mended to define default values. In Product Cost Planning (SAP
Customizing, transaction OKKN), separate calculation variants
may be created.
MM calculation type This setting defines how the master model (MM) is used. “Master
model” is a term that is used for the price strategy function in
Standard Cost Estimate. This function allows you to change the
cost calculation of price strategy-relevant materials. A material in
a cut list is price strategy-relevant if it occurs in more than one
cut.

The default assignment with such materials is price strategy Av-

erage Price Determination. It may be changed to strategy Master
Model. In the case of the master model strategy, entries for this
field, MM calculation type will be relevant.

Use
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate

Values
The following settings are possible:
— Use for update only (material costs only)
Prices are only changed when they are updated to SAP
Standard. The calculation itself remains unchanged.
— Replace and recalculate (material costs only)
Prices in the calculation are recalculated and adjusted.
— Replace and recalculate (material costs and labor costs)
Prices in the calculation are recalculated and adjusted.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 56/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Default
If no entry is selected, setting option use for update only is used as
default setting.
MM: Additional runs In the case of complex settings for the master model, it may hap-
pen that the one-time calculation of the Softproviding Meat Cost
Estimate is not sufficient to ensure the correct price calculation
and price distribution to the master model materials.

Use
To prevent a user from having to run the Calculate function more
than once in the calculation in order for the program to correctly
determine and distribute prices, entries can be made in this field.
The numerical values 1 - 255 are allowed for input. An entered
value defines the number of additional calculation runs. By de-
fault the field is empty. This setting is optional.

Note
Entries in this field should only be made if the check of the cut list and
the standard cost estimate has shown that multiple calculation is nec-
essary in order to arrive at correct calculation and distribution re-
sults. Since an entry in this field also has an influence on the perfor-
mance, this setting should be chosen carefully.

Use
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
Use description from cut list The description of the cut list (long text) is passed on to this field
as default when it is activated.

Use
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Long-Term Planning Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Order

Note
Without a default value, the Description field in the calculation must
be filled since it is mandatory.

Dependencies
As to the default values, there are separate setting options for the
applications Standard Cost Estimate, MRP and Long-Term Plan-
ning Calculation as well as for Disassembly Order.

Recommendation

Field Name Description

Cat. (default) This default value can be overwritten in the application. If no
value is maintained here, the system will propose Standard Cost
estimate.

Values
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation

Use
Mass Calculation allows you to create multiple calculations in one
go. These calculations may then be called via the Mass Calcula-
tion functionality or via the respective application (MRP-Calcula-
tion or Standard Cost Estimate).
Central update not allowed Check this field if you do not want the data to be updated to a unit
cost estimate. The respective functionality will then not be avail-
able in the application.

Use
This setting enables the update of the calculation results (quanti-
ties and values) to SAP Standard tables (transaction KKPBN; cal-
culation without quantity structure = manual calculation). After
the update these results are available for subsequent calculations
(e.g. product calculation).

Planning Calculation
3.9.1 Cross-Plant Settings
In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Cross-Plant Settings as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Material Requirements Planning >
Long-Term Planning Calculation > Cross-Plant Settings

This table is used to configure basic settings for Long-Term Planning Calculation (LTP). These set-
tings are cross-plant.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 63/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Use
Long-Term Planning calculation carries out a mid- to long-term planning. This planning activity is
only simulated, meaning it usually has no influence on operative planning.

To start the Long-Term Planning Calculation application, an appropriate transaction is provided in

the Softproviding Meat menu.

Carrying out a long-term planning calculation hardly differs from running an MRP calculation. Both
calculations carry out a quantity- and value-based calculation of the cut list. It is the general objective
of both calculations to optimize the needed input quantities with which the desired requirements may
be covered. Due to its advanced requirement settings, Long-Term Planning Calculation allows to per-
form a more differentiated analysis.

Prerequisites
Prerequisites in the application
— Cut list was created
— Planning scenario was created

Prerequisites in Customizing
— Settings for material requirements planning per plant were made (Softproviding-Meat-Cus-
tomizing)
— A planned independent requirements version was created (SAP-Customizing)

Table Fields
Entries may be created by selecting the New Entries button.

Field Name Description

Order profile When a planned order is created the planned order profile defines
the order type, the procurement type, the special procurement
type and the account assignment category.

Use
The order profile is needed in order to create planned orders when
the long-term planning calculation is released.

Background information
The profile assigned here can no longer be changed in the applica-
tion. Without an assignment made in Customizing, this field is
mandatory in the application. If you want to be able to select an
order profile in the application, do not define one here.

Default settings
There are no order profiles provided with the SAP Standard deliv-
ery.

Field Name Description

Recommendation
Assign profile LA (warehouse order). This profile has the correct
parameters for this process.
Update allowed? Select this field if you want to allow the calculation data to be up-
dated in an SAP Standard unit cost estimate. The respective func-
tionality will then be available in the application. Update parame-
ters will be displayed.
Calc. variant The variant assigned here will be used as default value for the cal-
culation variant. This variant is required if you want to update the
data from the LTP in an SAP Standard calculation (calculation
without quantity structure; transaction KKPBN). This default
value may be changed in the application.

Recommendation
In the calculations this field is mandatory. Defining a default
value is therefore recommended. You can define your calculation
variants in Product Cost Planning (SAP Customizing, transaction
OKKN).
Source: origin The origin group serves to control materials the costs of which are
updated under the same cost element separately for controlling
reasons.

Use
The costs calculated in Long-Term Planning Calculation may be
passed on to the calculation without quantity structure (update),
whereby either the origin group of the output materials or the
origin group of the input materials (input material out of which
the output material is cut) is transferred.

Background information
The assignment of a material to an origin group is undertaken in
the material master, Calculation 1 tab. The information on the up-
dated origin group is displayed in the calculation without quantity
structure (transaction KKPBN) under Itemization.

Dependencies
This field is only relevant in the context with the updating of cal-
culation results to an SAP Standard calculation.

Values
— Input material
— Output material
Source: plan/target1 The entry in this field defines from which source to determine the
price for the plan 1 calculation. These costs are displayed in the
cost view of the calculation.

and can be ignored.
Copy basic dates from plan- If this indicator is set, start and end dates from the planning sce-
ning scenario nario (fields Planned independent requirements from … to …) are
copied to the application. If these fields, however, are empty in
the planning scenario, the start and end dates fields in LTP are
filled with the current date.
Automatically adapt key date In Long-Term Planning Calculation, the fields Basic start date and
to basic dates Basic end date are filled according to the scheduling parameters.
The Key date field which is used for the determination of the cur-
rent equivalences, prices, cost data and fixed indicator can be con-
figured so that it adapts to the dates in the basic start and basic
end date fields.

If this indicator is not set, entries for the Key date field are inde-
pendent of the fields Basic start date and Basic end date.

If the indicator is set, the key date will always reflect the basic
dates. If the basic dates are changed, they key date is adjusted au-
tomatically if it lies outside the dates.

System behavior
With a set indicator, the system behaves as follows:
— If the key date is less than the basic start date, the key date
is set to the basic start date.
— If the key date is greater than the basic end date, the key
date is set to the basic end date.
— If the key date lies between the basic start and end date it
remains unchanged.

Recommendation
If you do not want the key date to adapt (even in exceptional
cases), the indicator should not be set

Note
Apart from Long-Term Calculation, this indicator is also used in:

Table
This table is used to configure basic settings for Softproviding MRP Calculation. These settings are
plant-independent.

Use
In this table presets for the planned order profile, for the price source and for the calculation variant
and other items are made.

The planned order profile serves to create the planned order. The entry for the price source is used as
a preset for the valuation of materials procured externally. The calculation variant is used to update
calculation data in a SAP Standard calculation (calculation without quantity structure). For the pur-
pose of valuation, these data may be updated to the material master price fields (e.g. periodically in
the standard price).

Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites that must be fulfilled to be able to make entries in this table.

Standard Settings
Order Profiles
In the SAP Standard delivery, order profiles are preset. The profile defines the order type, the procure-
ment type, the special procurement type and the account assignment category. The profiles are de-
fined in Material Requirements Planning Customizing.

Price Sources
In the SAP Standard delivery, price sources are preset. Furthermore, the following Softproviding
Meat-specific price sources are available:
— General view (material master tab Disassembly)
— Single plant view (material master tab Disassembly)
— Default from cut list
— Manual entry
— MPD market price (net)
— MPD market price (gross)

Calculation Variants
Calculation variants do come with the SAP Standard delivery. A calculation variant comprises all
controlling parameters for the calculation. These profiles are defined in Product Cost Controlling Cus-
tomizing.

Activities
— Check the order profiles included in the SAP Standard delivery. If necessary, create new order
profiles.

cation. If no order profile is assigned here, it must be done later in
the Softproviding Meat application MRP Calculation.

Use
The order profile is needed in order to create planned orders when
the long-term planning calculation is released. The planned order
may then be converted to disassembly orders in the application.

Recommendation
Assign profile LA (warehouse order). This profile has the correct
parameters for this process.
Price source The price source defined here is used as default value in MRP Cal-
culation. In the calculation, the price source is relevant for all ma-
terials with the procurement types external procurement and both
procurement types (external procurement and in-house produc-
tion). The value defined here may be changed per input material
in the calculation. The price source provides information on the
origin of the price.

In SAP Standard Customizing you may amend message KK 664
(Fixed price/value exceeds total price/value) to your needs. This is
necessary if a standard cost estimate or an MRP calculation is up-
dated in a unit cost estimate and you want to update negative calcu-
lation results. If you want to allow negative results (e.g. negative la-
bor costs, whereby the balance of positive material costs and nega-
tive labor costs is greater than zero), this message KK 664 must be
set to W or I (warning or information).

The customizing table may be called as follows: Controlling > Prod-

uct Cost Controlling > Product Cost Planning > Basic Settings for

3.12 Execution / Disassembly Orders

3.12.1 General Settings
In the Implementation Guide, call menu item General Settings as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Execution > Disassembly Orders >
General Settings

This table is used to configure basic settings for Softproviding Disassembly Orders. These settings are
plant independent.

Use
The Disassembly Order is the central object in Disassembly Production, i.e. the disassembly/cutting
of materials. Based on the Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation, a planned order may be converted
into a disassembly order. Also possible are manual planning and creating of disassembly orders. A
disassembly order is based on a cut list with n cuts. It is the principal object of the disassembly order
to establish, after completion of the order, how good (or bad) disassembly has worked (yield control).
Detailed target/actual evaluations are available for this task. Calculation of a disassembly order only
makes sense once disassembly has been completed, i.e. when all data entries (input and output) as
well as confirmation of the operations are completed.

This table is used to define, among others, the order type with which the disassembly orders are to be
created as well as the pre-settings for planned and actual price sources.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 78/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Prerequisites
If you want to select the appropriate order type it must be created beforehand.

Table Fields
Entries may be created by selecting the New Entries button.

Field Name Description

Order type The order type is the key which distinguishes orders with regard
to their use. The order type is used to define parameters which
will influence execution of the order.

Use
The selected order type is used to create the disassembly order
and the SAP production order.

Recommendation
It is common practice to work with your own order type (e.g.
ZPP1) for disassembly orders. It should be created as a copy of or-
der type PP01 and adjusted accordingly.

Note
You can use different order types for each disassembly process by as-
signing them in Softproviding Meat Customizing of Disassembly Pro-

In the routing data of shop floor control (Customizing), individual
user fields may be made available by defining an own field key.
For more information on this topic see the section “Defining User
Fields” further up.

Use
The field key is used in the operations of the routing. In the opera-
tion details, the newly defined field key may be selected in the
Field key field. The key fields assigned in Customizing (e.g. Cut
number and Operation quantity) are the displayed.

Examples and recommendation

— Field key ZSPMM (Softproviding Meat Management)
— Key word cut number
— Key word operation quantity (ZVGMGY)

Customizing
In field key Customizing enter the key word “cut number” for Text
(20), and the key word “operation quantity” for Quantity. Also en-

Field Name Description

ter the key defined as formula parameter (e.g. ZVGMGY as opera-
tion quantity) as parameter ID. Parameter ZVGMGY is created
with origin 4, dimension MASS as well as with the standard value
unit kg (transaction OP52).

Objective
This field key serves to determine the correct planned input quan-
tity per cut as well as to represent the working times per cut in the
disassembly order.

Background information
The operation quantity entered (in field MGVRG) in the operation
overview of the production order (transaction CO02) is the
planned quantity of the topmost input material. However, this is
not the planned input quantity of the respective cut input materi-
als within the cut list. This is the reason, those user fields are
needed. In the details of the individual operations (in the produc-
tion order (CO02), User Fields tab) the information relevant to the
cut (cut number and operation quantity) are then stored.
Act: Alt. trans Reading actual data: Check alternative business transaction.

The following applies to the Update actual data function in the

disassembly order: In the standard system, the RMVA transaction
(= change) is checked. If another transaction is required for pro-
cess-related reasons (e.g. KABV = Maintain settlement rule), this
can be specified here.

Note
This field should only be maintained if absolutely necessary!
APO modification imple- Setting this indicator will suppress the display of the settlement
mented rule on the screen when a disassembly order is created. The settle-
ment rule is required if you want to settle the costs of a sender ob-
ject to receiver objects within the context of period-end closing
works.

Background information
When a disassembly order is created, a settlement rule is dis-
played. This is an SAP Standard screen. In order to proceed with
the creation of the disassembly order, this settlement rule must be
exited with the Back button.

The displaying of the settlement rule can be suppressed. How-

ever, this is a modification which is described in SAP OSS note
452010. In addition to this modification, this indicator must be
set.

Field Name Description

Note
This indicator must not be set without prior consultation with
Softproviding.
Execute SAP calculation syn- If this indicator is set, the SAP Standard costing is always carried
chronously out when the Softproviding Meat calculation is executed. If the
indicator is not set. SAP Standard costing is not carried out until
settlement.

Use
Calculating synchronously may be very performance- and time-
consuming. This is the reason this setting must be selected explic-
itly.
Keep SAP data synchronous If this indicator is set, the SAP Standard data in Disassembly Or-
der are always kept up to date. If it is not set, the SAP Standard
costing is only updated when the disassembly order is saved.

Use
Keeping calculations synchronous may be very performance- and
time-consuming. This is the reason this setting must be selected
explicitly.

Note
If this Keep SAP data synchronized indicator is set, the SAP stand-
ard costing data is always up-to-date. If the indicator is not set, this
has the advantage of better performance, but in this case the solution
to the aforementioned rounding problem using the minimum quanti-
ties (see next field for description) may only be recognizable when the
period-end closing work is carried out.
Use minimum (default) quan- In special calculation scenarios, rounding problems can occur with
tity in SAP disassembly orders if the order quantity and/or component quan-
tities are too small.

To solve the problem and for flexible control, this indicator is pro-
vided for setting:
— Indicator is set
In this case, the system checks the Base quantity field in
the Default Values for Generation of Operations table (trans-
action OPJG) and copies the value stored there to the pro-
duction order (CO02) for the component quantity. In this
way, minimum quantities are used, which solves the
rounding problem.
— Indicator is not set
The above table is not checked, no minimum quantity is de-
termined and transferred to orders.

Field Name Description

Recommendation
Only set the indicator if the analysis of your business processes
has shown that the rounding problem could occur.

Note
Please note the information in the Keep SAP data synchronized field
(above).
Planned price The price source defined here is used as default value for the ini-
tial price. In the calculation, the price source is relevant for all ma-
terials with the procurement types external procurement and both
procurement types (external procurement and in-house produc-
tion). The value defined here may be changed per input material
in Standard Cost Estimate. The price source provides information
on the origin of the price.

Use
— Softproviding Meat Standard Cost Estimate
— Softproviding Meat MRP Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Long-Term Planning Calculation
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Calculation

Examples
— Standard price
— Planned price 1

Dependencies
As to these default values, there are separate settings for the ap-
plications mentioned above.
Actual price An entry made in this field is used as preset for the actual prices of
the input materials in the disassembly order.

Use
In the application this preset may be changed manually per input
material.
Use description from cut list When a disassembly order is created, the description of the cut
as default list (long text) is passed on to the Short description field of the or-
der if this check is activated.

Use
— Softproviding Meat Disassembly Order

Note
Without a default value, the Description field in the calculation must
be filled since it is mandatory.

Recommendation
Check this indicator.

Field Name Description

Plan/target price 1 The entry in this field defines from which source to determine the
price for the plan/target 1 calculation. This value cannot be over-
ruled later in the application.

Note
An entry in this field defines the cost rate in the target 1 calculation.
These costs can be displayed in the cost view. There are separate set-
tings for Standard Cost Estimate, MRP Calculation and Disassembly
Order.

3.12.2 Plant-Dependent Settings

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Plant-Dependent Settings as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Execution > Disassembly Orders >
Plant-Dependent Settings

Table
This table is used to configure basic settings for Disassembly Order. These settings are made by plant.

Use
Defaults
The plant-dependent settings include optional settings for the default settings in Disassembly Order
for the following fields:
— Production Scheduler Profile
— Variance Key
— Automatically adapt key dates to basic dates

Confirmations
Also, settings on Confirmations are made for the following fields:
— Confirmation type
The confirmation type determines whether the order is only confirmed and/or exited (i.e.
closed).
— Confirmation off
The confirmation is based on the actual, target 1, target 2 or variance values. Confirmations
are always based on input quantities. Depending on the settings made here, either the actual
or the target quantities are used for confirmation.
— Use actual labor costs
The actual working time in Disassembly Order corresponds to the target working time. How-
ever, if this indicator is set the determination will use the actual labor costs. The confirmation
function in Disassembly Order is inactivated, since the confirmation must be made via SAP
Standard (transaction CO11N).

Think ahead. Go there.

For further details on the confirmation functionality please use the respective F1 field help function
as well as the explanations given in the Disassembly user documentation.

Period-end closing
Settings which are relevant within the framework of period-end closing works are made for those two
fields:
— Source structure
The source structure is used to settle the costs incurred on the sender (the disassembly order)
to different receivers (order items) depending on the cost element. It must be assigned in this
table and must not be defined in the settlement profile. The structure is defined using SAP
Standard transaction OKEU.

— Equivalences off
If data collecting in Disassembly is completed, you may settle the actual or target equivalences
with the Disassembly Order Presettlement program within the framework of period-end clos-
ing.

For further details and examples on source structures or equivalences use the respective F1 field help
function as well as the explanations given in the “Period-End Closing” section of the Disassembly user
documentation.

Table Fields
Entries may be created by selecting the New Entries button.

Field Name Description

Plant The plant is a company’s production site.
Prod. Sched. Profile The production scheduler profile is transferred to the production
order when the order is created. Among other things, the profile
controls the automatic release of the order when it is created. An
entry here is optional.
Variance Key This entry serves as presetting in the Create Disassembly Order ap-
plication (General tab). This default value may be changed in the
application.

Use
In Disassembly Order the variance key is required if variances are
to be determined within the framework of period-end closing.
Without variance key, these production orders are not factored in
for variance determination.
Automatically adapt key date In Disassembly Order, the fields Basic start date and Basic end date
to basic dates are filled according to the scheduling parameters. The Key date
field which is used for the determination of the current equiva-
lences, prices, cost data and fixed indicator can be configured so
that it adapts to the dates in the basic start and basic end date
fields.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 84/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

If this indicator is not set, entries for the Key date field are inde-
pendent of the fields Basic start date and Basic end date.

If the indicator is set, the key date will always reflect the basic
dates. If the basic dates are changed, they key date is adjusted au-
tomatically if it lies outside the dates.

System behavior
With a set indicator, the system behaves as follows:
— If the key date is less than the basic start date, the key date
is set to the basic start date.
— If the key date is greater than the basic end date, the key
date is set to the basic end date.
— If the key date lies between the basic start and end date it
remains unchanged.

Recommendation
If you do not want the key date to adapt (even in exceptional
cases), the indicator should not be set

Note
In Disassembly Order, constellations may occur in which the basic
dates are adjusted by SAP Standard (depending on the scheduling
type). In this case the key date is not adjusted automatically until the
disassembly order is saved and called again.

Apart from Long-Term Calculation, this indicator is also used in:

— MRP Calculation
— Long-Term Planning Calculation
Confirmation type For the confirmation type to use for the confirmation you may
choose between the following setting options:
— Confirm and exit (the order is confirmed and closed)
— Only confirm (the order is only confirmed)
— Only exit (the order is closed and not confirmed)

Note
“Only confirm” means that the order is only partially confirmed. In the
order, status TRÜCK is set. Data entries and confirmations are still
possible. “Confirm and exit”, on the other hand means, that the order
gets status RÜCK, and no more confirmations may be made.
Confirmation off Confirmation are carries out on the basis of the following values:
— Actual
— Target 1
— Target 2
— Variance
Do not calculate automatically If this indicator is set no calculation of the order is carried before
before confirmation the disassembly order is confirmed.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 85/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Use actual labor costs The relevance of this indicator refers to the calculation of the la-
bor costs in Disassembly Order as well as the kind of confirmation
of disassembly orders.

Setting this indicator has the following consequences:

— The confirmation function in Disassembly Order is inacti-
vated (menu item Environment > Confirm) since confirma-
tions must be undertaken via SAP Standard (transaction
CO11N). In this case, settings made in the Confirmation type
are of no consequence.
— Confirmation data of the actual calculation are selected and
stored in the cut. This function is started via the Other Costs
tab (Inbound Values button; from Routing field).
— In the Disassembly Order Controlling view of Disassembly
order, the value from the actual calculation (instead of tar-
get calculation) is used for value added. The data are trans-
ferred from the operation view of the production order
(Quantities/Activities tab).

Note
If the activities are not converted, they will not be selected. Data are
used in the same way as in target calculation.

The values are only selected if Disassembly Order is restarted and re-
calculation is performed. The Update actual data button does not
have any function here.
Source structure The source structure is used to settle the costs incurred on the
sender (the disassembly order) to different receivers (order items)
depending on the cost element.

Values
Available structures are those that were defined in SAP Standard
Customizing.

Note
The source structure must be assigned in this table, it must not be de-
fined in the settlement profile. The structure is defined using SAP
Standard transaction OKEU.

For further details and examples on the source structure please see the
section on period-end closing in the Disassembly user documentation.
Equivalences off Equivalences or equivalence numbers are used to assessment val-
ues which are used to distribute costs. In Disassembly calculation,
the equivalence numbers are determined on the basis of real ac-
tual values or target or variance values. This is defined by the set-
ting made in this field.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 86/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Values
— Actual
— Target 1
— Target 2
— Variance

Use
The equivalence numbers for the settlement rules are calculated
with data of Disassembly Process Calculation. This setting de-
fines from which calculation the values are to be calculated.

Recommendation
Typically, the determination of the equivalence numbers which is
based on the actual values is chosen.

Enhancement
In order to determine equivalences, there is the possibility of in-
fluencing the data in a customer-specific way (BAdI).

BAdI
Enhancement /SPMEAT/ES_COKO

BAdI /SPMEAT/BADI_COKO

Methods
For details, see the “Enhancements” section further down in this
document.
Price unit Definition
The price unit is the number of units of measure to which the price
refers. The price unit must always be regarded in context with the
price.

Use
The price unit defined in this field is used in the Controlling tab of
Disassembly Order. The per-kg price is determined with the prices
unit which is assigned here. If this field is without entry, price
unit 1 is used.

Examples
— Price unit: 1
— Quantity in kg: 2,000
— Total value: 50,00 EUR
— Price per 1 kg = 25,00 EUR
Target losses Use
In Disassembly Order (Controlling tab) disassembly losses may be
displayed. Note that these are target losses. Losses are displayed
by loss type or as a total, depending on the settings made in Cus-
tomizing. You also choose not to display those losses.

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 87/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Field Name Description

Values
— No
— By loss type
— Only total

Prerequisites
A loss type (e.g. cooling loss, cutting loss) was assigned to the ma-
terial in the material master database (Disassembly tab).
Batch assignment level To create the batches for the output materials in Disassembly you
select one of the following options:

Values
— Material
— Cut and material

If Material is specified as assignment level, only 1 batch number is

assigned per material. For assignment level Cut and material, one
batch number per cut and material is assigned, meaning, there
will be different batches for the same output materials if the ma-
terials result in different cuts.

Prerequisites
In SAP Standard Customizing one of the following settings was
made:
— Batch unique at material level
— Batch unique at material level for a material

Background information
If the batch level was set at unique at plant level in SAP Standard
Customizing (transaction OMCE), the Batch field is displayed
(General tab) when a disassembly order is created and an output
batch is assigned automatically. This output batch is valid for all
output of the order (as default batch in disassembly process en-
try).

If the batch is assigned uniquely at material level or uniquely at cli-

ent level for a material, the batch field is not displayed in Disas-
sembly Order. In this case, the output batch is assigned according
to the settings in Softproviding Meat Customizing (batch per ma-
terial or per material and cut) for this field, Batch assignment level.

This is the batch which is proposed for all materials handled in

batches at the time data are entered in disassembly outbound
(=goods receipt) although a different batch may be selected.
Pre-allocate batch from pa- If this indicator is set, the Batch field (General tab) in Disassembly
rameter ID Order is preset from parameter ID CHA of the user master data-
base.

Field Name Description

Dependencies
The Batch field is available in Disassembly Order (General tab) if
the batch is assigned uniquely at plant level (transaction OMCE).
Do not carry out target 1 cal- In some implementations, a target 1 calculation is not necessary,
culation for instance, because the same prices are used for both Target 1
and Target 2 calculations. In this case it can be deactivated which
may result in improved performance.

Note
For further information, see the F1 input help for this field.
Consolidate component/oper- If set, the components and operations are consolidated, meaning
ations there is a maximum of 2 components (input/output) per material
and one operation per work center. This is the standard setting
per cut.

Use
If you do not weigh per cut, it is not useful to keep the dates per
cut either.
PS – Variances Price source for the calculation of values for variances.

Use
Settings for this field are relevant for variance calculation for dis-
assembly orders. The price source stored here is used for variance
calculation.

Caution
This setting is only relevant for special business scenarios in the
context of variance calculation and for special subsequent pro-
cesses for this form of calculation.
Posting date on last day of the This indicator is not used in the current release. It is intended for
period future developments in the context of the Material Ledger.

Caution
Do not set this indicator.

3.12.3 Excluded Document Categories

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Execution > Disassembly Orders >
Excluded Document Categories

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 89/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Table Fields
This table is used to make settings applying to document categories which should only be used to a
limited extent for disassembly order processing.

Field Name Description

Plant The plant is a company’s production site.
Document cat. In Softproviding Core and Softproviding Meat, document catego-
ries characterize business data entry procedures.

Examples
— Document category GI (goods issue) for the disassembly or-
der
— Document category GR (goods receipt) for the further pro-
cessing order

Use
For disassembly orders, statistical data entries may be made in
disassembly inbound and disassembly outbound, which, for in-
stance, may be used for evaluations later on. Here, Softproviding
customers will typically use special document categories (e.g.
document category ST = statistical entries).

Although entries with this document category will create entries

in table /SPDGS/PDAO, these PDA records are not posted, mean-
ing, no material document will be created and thus no goods
movement posted. To prevent these quantities from being dis-
played in the disassembly order and included in the calculation, a
respective entry is made in this table. These data records are then
excluded from calculation in the disassembly order.

Examples
— ST (statistical entry)
— SE (statistical inbound)
— SA (statistical outbound)

3.12.4 Excluded Statuses

In the Implementation Guide, call menu item Excluded Statuses as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Execution > Disassembly Orders >
Excluded Statuses

Configuration/Production – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 90/102

Think ahead. Go there.

Table Fields
This table is used to configure basic settings regarding the status of goods movements.

Field Name Description

Plant The plant is a company’s production site.
Goods movement This table may be used to maintain entries with a goods move-
ment status (i.e. the status of the PDA data records). The actual
quantities of PDA data records created with one of the statuses
defined in this table are not updated in the disassembly order.

Example
If a PDA data record with status Blank is generated using a cus-
tomer-specific application (e.g. a customer-specific DGA), the ac-
tual quantities of the PDA data record are updated as effectively
posted actual quantities in the disassembly order if there is no en-
try maintained in this table. However, for status Blank or Canceled
this is neither desirable nor is it reasonable.

Recommendation
For this reason, Softproviding recommends to make the following
settings for the respective plant:
— Blank
— Canceled

4 Enhancements

BAdIs (Business Add-Ins) serve to set up customer-specific program enhancements which can be im-
plemented by customers as required. These enhancements remain unaffected by a change of software
release. The implementation is undertaken with SAP standard transactions.

If enhancements are available for applications which are described in this configuration guide, a ref-
erence will be made (in the user documentation as well as in the configuration guidelines.

Prerequisites
Authorizations required to create or change BAdI implementations:
— Developer key

The following possibilities for customer-specific enhancements (BAdIs) are available:

— SAP Standard enhancements
— Enhancements provided by Softproviding

4.1 SAP Standard Enhancements

SAP Standard enhancements are BAdIs provided by SAP which may be used in SAP Standard pro-
grams and, if applicable, also in Softproviding Core and Softproviding Meat programs and processes.
If this is the case, this configuration guide will give reference to the possible use of these BAdIs.

The enhancements are subdivided in

— Mandatory enhancements (enhancements which must be implemented)
— Optional enhancements (enhancements which need not necessarily be implemented)

In this chapter, enhancements are listed with their classes and methods.

When a disassembly order is created, a settlement rule is displayed. This is an SAP Standard screen.
In order to proceed with the creation of the disassembly order, this settlement rule must be exited
with the Back button.

The displaying of the settlement rule can be suppressed. However, this is a modification. It is de-
scribed in SAP OSS note 452010. In addition to this modification, an indicator must be set in
Softproviding Meat Customizing. This indicator must not be set without prior consultation with
Softproviding.

Explanatory notes on BAdI CKML_COST_SPLIT

This BAdI contains only one method (GET_COST_SPLIT (get data for distribution in joint produc-
tion)). The coding for implementing the method is available in function module
/SPMEAT/CT_CKML_COST_SPLIT.

Import and export parameters of method and function module are identical:
— Import parameter I_PROCNR
— Export parameter ES_SPLIT
— Export parameter ET_SPLIT_AQZIF

This implementation is necessary so that the Softproviding Meat logic can be used in the material
ledger.

Note
If you have already implemented this in the Z area in a version prior to v5.40, we recommend that you
replace this Z implementation with the standard function module /SPMEAT/CT_CKML_COST_SPLIT.

Note
For more information on the material ledger, and in particular the other prerequisites that must be ful-
filled before you can also use disassembly orders in the material ledger: see the “Master Data / Material
Ledger” section in this document.

5 Master Data

This chapter describes those master data which are relevant to the applications mentioned in this
configuration guide. These are:
— Master data for which Softproviding either provides their own transactions in the user menu,
or
— Transactions or maintenance views, which were not explicitly added to the application menu.

In the area of Disassembly this concerns the following settings:

— Classification statistics
— Material ledger

5.1 Classification Cut – Statistics

5.1.1 Classification Cut – Change/Display
Use
Classification statistics are only used with cuts of category classification cut. Classification cuts may
be included in cut lists (like standard cuts) and used in calculations.

In the calculation (Standard Cost Estimate and MRP Calculation), quantity quotients in % drawn from
the cut master data for these classification cuts may be replaced by historical data from this classifi-
cation cut statistics.

The classification cut is mainly used for unit materials.

Prerequisites
Cuts of cut category X (classification cut) were created.

Procedure
The transactions for the classification cut are called as follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Master Data > Cut > Classifica-
tion Cut - Statistics > Change/Display
Transaction /SPMEAT/CUTSB (Change)
/SPMEAT/CUTSC (Display)

1. Call the Change Classification Cut Statistics via one of the above-mentioned options.

Master Data – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 96/102

Think ahead. Go there.

2. In the Cut number field, enter the cutF4 input help number of a classification cut or select such a
cut using the F4 input help. Restrict your selection to cut category X (classification cut). Using
further parameters (e.g. plant or stock type) this selection may be further refined.

3. Confirm with Enter. The Classification Cut – Statistics table is displayed.

In the upper area of the table, the following fields are displayed:

Field Name Description

Cut number The cut number which was selected is displayed in this field.
Material This is the material for which the cut is created (topmost input
material).

The following buttons, entry options and information are displayed under the Quantity Distribution
tab:

Create button
Hitting the Create button will display the interval today’s date - 31.12.9999 by default. This proposed
interval may be changed using the Create function. The new interval, valid from – valid to is adjusted
using the Transfer button. In the same way, multiple intervals may be added.

For these intervals, quotients in % may be assigned to the cut output materials in the right-hand side
area of the table.

Delete row button

Selected validity intervals may deleted with this button.

Function: Checking the cuts

The entries may be checked for consistency using the Check button.

Result
If all the necessary entries have been made, they may be saved by selecting the Save button. These
entries will then be available in the above-mentioned calculations. Once the entries are saved, the
transaction is terminated automatically.

5.1.2 Update Classification Statistics

Use
This program allows you to automatically create classification statistics based on created PDAO data
records and therefore on effectively entered actual quantities. This program extends the manual sta-
tistics creation with the above-mentioned transaction Change (or Create) Classification Cut. For the
output materials of the classification cut, the entered actual quantities are added per material and are
put into relation to each other to calculate respective quotients in %. The total of the shares is always
100.

Prerequisites
PDAO data records are available. However they do not necessarily need to be posted.

Procedure
The transaction with which to create and update the classification statistics are started das follows:

Menu Softproviding Meat > Production > Master Data > Cut > Classification
Cut – Statistics > Update Classification Statistics
Transaction /SPMEAT/CUT_CLSTAT_R

Selection Fields
The following fields are provided for data entry and selection:

Cut Area
Field Name Description
Plant The plant is an organizational, logistical unit which structures the
company from the perspective of production, procurement,
maintenance and materials planning. Materials are produced and
goods and services are provided in a plant. The plant is a com-
pany’s production site.
Cut category Cut category X = classification cut predefined and fixed.
Cut number The program will search for PDAO data records for the materials
of the cut number entered here. If data were selected, they may be
stored as statistics data under this cut number.

Note
Data are only determined for classification cuts.
Valid on This field must be filed even if it is not explicitly declared as a
mandatory field.

Background information
The classification cuts entered in the Cut number field are checked
against the Valid on field. Later, only the cuts are valid are filtered
and used (field in cut Valid from … to).
Valid from The statistics of the classification cut contains the validity Valid
from.
Valid on The statistics of the classification cut contains the validity Valid
to.

PDAO Area
Field Name Description
Document group In SAP business transactions are represented by documents. This
field combines documents in one group which are treated uni-
formly from the PDA (Process Data Acquisition) view.

Example
— C = Disassembly order

Note
Since this program was developed to build statistics for the planning
of disassembly calculations, only entry C (disassembly order) is use-
ful here.
Document category In Softproviding Core and Softproviding Meat, business data en-
try operations are represented by document categories.

Example
— Document type WA (goods issue)
— Document type WE (goods receipt)

Note
Since the statistics for output materials are built in disassembly cal-
culation, entries for GR (goods receipt) and SE (statistical receipt) are
particularly useful.
Created on Here, the date specifies when the PDAO data record was created.
Terminal ID The selection can be restricted to terminals.
External ID The selection can be restricted to external IDs.
Storage location The selection can be restricted to storage locations.
Object The selection can be restricted to objects.
Vendor The selection can be restricted to vendors.
Customer The selection can be restricted to customers

Further Details
Field Name Description
Call in simulation If you select this option, determination and display is performed
in test mode. No statistics data are updated.

If this field is deselected, determination and displaying are per-

formed in update. Statistics data are updated.

Selection Result
Display of the data on the screen is identical for test run as well as in update run. If an update run was
executed, an additional success message, “Classification statistics successfully saved”, is displayed.

A repeated start of the section in update run will overwrite an existing statistics record. This is the
case if further data entries for goods receipt or reversals of goods receipts were made.

Example for a Statistical Breakdown (Screen Output)

Saving Classification Statistics by PDAO
Cut: 182 MatNo.: 20005 Quantity (%): 20,00
Cut: 182 MatNo.: 20007 Quantity (%): 42,00
Cut: 182 MatNo.: 20010 Quantity (%): 38,00

5.2 Material Ledger

Using the SAP application component Material Ledger allows you to manage material stocks in sev-
eral currencies or valuations. By default, the inventory values of materials managed in the system are
only updated in one currency (company code currency) in the SAP System. Using the Material Ledger
component means that the material inventory values can be managed in two additional curren-
cies/valuations in the SAP System.

The material ledger thus forms the basis for actual calculation and enables inventory valuation in
several currencies using different valuation approaches.

Note
Before activating the material ledger, you should check exactly which currencies/valuations are to be
used, since subsequent changes to the setting are no longer possible.

In addition to activating the material ledger for the desired valuation area(s), the following activities
are required to ensure the integration of the material ledger with the disassembly orders of the Meat
Management component.

Note
If Material-Ledger active, the ML indicator in the material master database is set active (Accounting tab).

Prerequisites
Definition of a header material for the disassembly orders
— The header material must be created (MM01) and is to be regarded as “dummy material”.

Caution
This header material should not be part of a cut list. In case an existing customer already uses the
header material in a cut and thus in a cut list, we recommend that they test this setting or constella-
tion extensively.

— This header material should not be part of a cut list. In case an existing customer already uses
the header material in a cut and thus in a cut list, we recommend that they test this setting or
constellation extensively.

Note
When a disassembly order is created, this material is written as the header material in the SAP production
order created in parallel and stored in table AFPO.

— When a disassembly order is created, this material is written as the header material in the SAP
production order created in parallel and stored in table AFPO.

Assignment of header materials to plants

Table /SPMEAT/TCTO4 for entering the header material can be called as follows (alternatives):
— Calling the table with transaction SM30
— Calling the table with the following application menu: Softproviding Meat > Production > Execu-
tion >Disassembly Processes > Disassembly Orders > Settings > Material-Ledger.

Note
In this table, only one material can be assigned per plant.

Example
— Material DUMMY_SW Lebendtier STANDARD
— Material type used: ZVIE (slaughter material)

Indicator Co-product in Material Master

— The Co-product indicator has to be set for this material as well as all output material of this cut
list in the respective material master (Costing tab).

Note
No entry must be made for the Joint production button (Costing tab: cost distribution among co-prod-
ucts). The appropriate entries are made by the Meat Management software.

Production version in Material Master

— A production version must be assigned to the header material. In the material master, this is
possible in the Process Data Acquisition tab, for example.
— A BOM must be assigned to this production version. A text item (item category T) may be used
as a BOM item.
— A routing must be assigned to the production version.

Example
— Production version Z001(header material for disassembly order)
— — Routing for material DUMMY_SW Lebendtier STANDARD
— Operation 0010 (dummy operation for header material)
— Blank routing (i.e. without entry)
— Basis quantity 1 kg
— BOM for material DUMMY_SW Lebendtier STANDARD
— BOM item 0010
— Item category T
— Name Dummy Material Disassembly
— Component quantity = 1 KG

Implementation of BAdI CKML_COST_SPLIT (external apportionment structure)

— This implementation is made with transaction SE18.

Master Data – Softproviding Meat Configuration Guide 101/102

Think ahead. Go there.

— This BAdI contains only one method (GET_COST_SPLIT).

— The coding for the implementation of the method is available in function module /SPMEAT/-
CT_CKML_COST_SPLIT

Import and export parameters of the method and the function module are identical:
— Import parameter I_PROCNR
— Export parameter ES_SPLIT
— Export parameter ET_SPLIT_AQZIF

This implementation is necessary so that the Softproviding Meat logic can be used in the material
ledger.

Note
If you have already implemented this in the Z area in a version v5.40 or older, we recommend that you
replace this Z implementation with the standard function module /SPMEAT/CT_CKML_COST_SPLIT.
