Correct Answers and Explanations
1. Work centers include the following data:✅ a. Basic data
✅ b. Capacities
✅ c. Scheduling
✅ d. Costing
✅ e. Standard parameters
These elements define the technical and functional aspects of production units.
2. Accounts affected when materials are issued to a
production order:
✅ a. Raw material stock account
✅ b. Consumption account
Material issuance reduces stock and records material consumption.
3. Master data for manufacturing includes:
✅ a. BOMs
✅ b. PRTs
❌ c. Vendor master
✅ d. Material Master
✅ e. Work center
Vendor master is related to procurement, not direct manufacturing.
4. BOMs are used in:
❌ a. Vendor master data
✅ b. MRP
✅ c. Product costing
✅ d. Procurement
BOMs play a crucial role in planning, costing, and procurement.
5. Elements of a production order include:
✅ a. Header
✅ b. Operations
❌ c. Statistical key figure
✅ d. PRT
✅ e. Costs
✅ f. Settlement rule
These elements define the structure and tracking of manufacturing orders.
6. Work center basic data is maintained at:
✅ c. Plant
This ensures configuration at the right operational level.
7. SAP BOMs are transferred to SAP APO as:
✅ a. Production process models (PPMs)
PPMs represent the manufacturing process in APO.
8. Work center master data includes:
✅ a. Basic data
✅ b. Default values
✅ c. Standard value key
✅ d. Cost
✅ e. Capacities
✅ f. Scheduling
❌ g. Time elements
✅ h. Cost center
Time elements belong to routings, not work center data.
9. Routings consist of:
✅ a. Operations
✅ b. Operation sequences
✅ c. Usage
✅ d. Time elements
✅ e. Work centers
✅ f. Component allocations
Routings guide the execution flow of production processes.
10. Availability check in manufacturing includes:
✅ a. Components
✅ b. Capacities
✅ c. PRTs
❌ d. BOMs
BOMs are static; availability checks focus on resource
readiness.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the purpose of a work center in manufacturing?Work centers represent locations where operations are performed. They are essential for capacity planning and costing.
2. How does a Bill of Materials (BOM) impact production
planning?
BOMs list components needed for production, aiding in
accurate planning, procurement, and costing.
3. Why is material master data important?
Material master data centralizes all relevant product
details, ensuring consistency across manufacturing and inventory processes.
4. What is the difference between routing and a production
order?
Routing outlines the production process, while a production
order is a transactional document that tracks production execution.
5. Can PRTs be used across different production orders?
Yes, Production Resources/Tools (PRTs) are reusable across
multiple orders and operations.
6. How does SAP APO utilize PPMs?
SAP APO uses PPMs for detailed planning, enabling synchronized
supply chain operations and optimized resource utilization.
