Production Operations with Manufacturing Execution System (1Y5)

This scope item covers the setup of the integration from SAP S/4HANA to Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).

An MES integrates business and manufacturing processes that help to run efficient, high quality production on the shop floor.

You can use this scope item as an example of how to integrate a local customer shop floor system directly into SAP S/4HANA, giving manufacturing staff a clear overview of production operations and improving analytical capability for the management team. SAP S/4HANA is the system of record for all master data. An MES or a shop floor system is the system of record for all work in progress (WIP) data.

This communication scenario provides end points (inbound and outbound), which are needed to integrate an on-premise third-party MES solution (Manufacturing Execution System) to production operation through ALE IDocs, BAPI, and OData calls.

Key Process Steps Covered

• Create, schedule, and release production order in the SAP S/4HANA system
• Create and release production order in a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or shop floor system
• Update production order in an MES and send information back to the SAP S/4HANA system
• Confirm production order in the SAP S/4HANA system

Benefits

• Simplifies the integration of SAP S/4HANA Cloud of Manufacturing Execution Systems to Production Operation

Additional Information

• This scope item is excluded from the default activation

For exceptional cases and based on individual customer requests, SAP admits usage of BAPIs and IDocs on a temporary basis to integrate the solution wherever the currently available OData and SOAP WebServices are insufficient. This admittance is restricted to individual customers and to a well-defined set of BAPIs and IDocs that are technically enabled by SAP for this purpose. To get this approval, customers must follow the process described in SAP Note 2653671. These BAPIs and IDocs are available as is and will not be functionally extended. They will be maintained for a limited period. Maintenance of a BAPI/IDoc will end 12 months after availability of an equivalent OData or SOAP WebService.
