With SAP solutions.ITC Infotech has helped leading Mill Products companies transform their business with SAP SAP for Mill Products enables mill product manufacturers to manage the entire enterprise. ultimately.e.0 Solution with IS Mill enabled variant configurations are designed to improve overall enterprise business-process and manufacturing performance. SAP ECC 6. but to have only one configurable material to cover all product variants. Object dependencies will be used to control the selection of BOM components and processing steps for a particular variant. Classification of product does not help in defining different SKU's for product variants. have fixed specifications and can be produced without sales order. Material variants are commonly used products (high running).

Quality Grade Packaging Packaging Grade Thickness Quality Thickness Width Width Usage Sheet Material master data Roll Class SHEET Material master data Class SHEET Configurable Material Grade Thickness Configuration Profile Configured Material Variants Reference Max. These are called as Super BOM / Routing or Max BOM / Routing. . Routing Object dependencies In order to define the product specifications. using classification with different specification values. and are kept in warehouse to service the customer faster. A Bill of material (BOM) and routing are created for a configurable material with all possible combinations. These products are configured or customized or tailored as per customer's requirement.Configurable Materials Class SHEET Variant Class(300) Batch – Class(023) Characteristics Characteristics Characteristics Length Length Packaging Cat. Customer order gets created for configurable material and configuration profile is used to control the process of this configuration in a sales order. Configuration of a product in sales order takes a reference from material variants based on the specification values requested by the customer. These products are similar in nature but have different dimensions or physical properties. Object dependencies Max. Variant classification is used to configure a product and also supports batch management using batch classification to track a product through supply chain. a variant class and characteristics are used. Cost estimation can be done prior to sales order entry or during sales order entry . pearl white Grade A Weight /m2 550 Length 0-3000 m Width 50-5000 mm Color Pearl white Characteristics can be completed during sales order entry. Changeable characteristics do not influence value of material. components from super BOM and operational steps from super routing get selected in order to manufacture a variant. 550.

ISMill has special transactions to handle the processes like shearing. Original Batch: These statistical batches provide a lot of assistance for characteristic inheritance and adoption during order execution process. IS-Mill provides features to avoid creation of small quantity planned order (during MRP run) thru use of under delivery tolerance functionality. “Order Combination” function of SAP IS-Mill provides capability of combining several standalone orders as a combined order. Batch Splitting during Goods Receipt: Aid of data entry where most of the material characteristics are similar. oiling. Process Batch: Process Batch function is specific to IS-Mill solution which provides functions like recording of characteristics during production process and subsequent transfer to inventory batches.or over-delivery is usual for material handled in pieces/ batches. It allows effective and faster data entry of all the items in sales / purchase / production orders and Goods Receipt. Single Unit Batch: Batch is a generic term in SAP which may be used for multiple receipts as well as partial issues. Scheduling. etc are done at combined order level.Key Operational Benefits Order Combination: In discrete manufacturing. While finished goods produced is assigned and posted against child order. rest of the activities like Goods Issue. a single batch of a grade may be used to produce numerous types of products belonging to different dimensions.Solution Baskets) Industry Package (IS-Mill) to meet mill industry-specific needs SAP Best Practices Baseline Package 3 2 1 SAP OFFERINGS ITC INFOTECH OFFERINGS ** Business Fundamentals. Order Release functions are carried out in a cumulative manner. Single Unit Batch function ensures the intended behavior to suit process industry requirement. there are several cutting processes which are not so relevant from costing and process control perspective but they make changes to product shape/size requiring inventory reclassification and accurate tracking. Product Mix. Under Delivery Tolerance: In make-toorder production. recoiling in a simple and efficient way. These batches provide a strong linkage of Issued and Produced inventory batches during a complex and long production process. further planned orders or purchase requisitions should not be created in MRP. Fast Data Entry: IS-Mill comes with an easy to use feature called Fast Data Entry. Statutory Regulations. If remaining quantity is within the under-delivery tolerance of the sales order item.
