Third-Party Shop Floor Execution - Discrete Industry (3W4)

Third-Party Shop Floor Execution - Discrete Industry (3W4)

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) that can be used to integrate an on-premise third-party MES solution (Manufacturing Execution System) to production operation through OData calls and SOAP messages.
