In the production process, when the finished goods have been produced, the person completing the work records a confirmation of the work completed in the SAP ERP system. Can you kindly explain the confirmations at the operations level how can be recorded manually?

As soon as the materials are issued to the production order, the actual production takes place on the shop floor, in the work centers. When the finished goods have been produced, the person completing the work records a confirmation of the work completed in the SAP ERP system. A confirmation indicates how much work was completed, where it was completed (work center), and who completed it. In the following will show a diagram showing the steps of the confirmation:

Explain the function of bill of materials in the production process, and how can item categories influence in a bill of materials.

A Bill Of Materials (BOM) is just a complete list that shows or identifies the components or the materials that are needed to produce a product. Depending on the production type, for example in the discreet and repetitive manufacturing, the BOM shows all the materials either raw materials or semi finished goods that are required to produce specific products. On the other hand, in process manufacturing, the BOM shows the formula or recipe that include a list of ingredients needed to produce specified quantity of products.

A BOM can contain different types of items, which are distinguished by the item category. The item category identifies the type of material and influences how the material is to be used in the BOM. Common item categories are:

A stock item (L) is a material for which stock or inventory is maintained; therefore, it must have a material master.

A nonstock item (N) is one for which inventory is not maintained; therefore, it does not need a material master defined.

Variable-size item (R), and data concerning the needed size or dimension must be specified in the BOM.

A text item (T) is used to include notes and comments within the BOM.

A document item (D) is used to include documents such as engineering drawings, assembly instructions, and photographs.

Class items (K) are used in variant BOMs to identify a class or group of items.

Intra material (M), or phantom items, are a logically grouped set of materials that could collectively be considered as a single material.
