In previous post entitled SAP Transactions with Syncade in Life Sciences – Overview the basics behind the SAP to Syncade interface and transaction was provided. This post provides more detail on the general requirements associated with the Production orders download transaction.
Production orders (aka process orders) are created in SAP. A production order generally contains, but is not limited to, the item to be produced, Bill of Materials, Order status, and start and end dates. Generally once each day (or other frequency) the interface will transmit to Syncade the production orders that have been created during the intervening period. Included with the production order information is the product to be produced. Additional information such as quantity of product to be produced along with start and finish dates for the production order is also captured.
When the SAP production order is downloaded to Syncade it can automatically create a Syncade Process Order of spawn multiple Syncade process orders depending on the configuration of the interface. Process orders created in Syncade can also be created with a number of different statuses depending on the business requirements. For example, we've seen situations where every process order in Syncade that was dowloaded from SAP was approved and released to production by Quality Assurance in spite of the order being approved in SAP. The following two cases provide additional considerations when downloading production orders:
