This includes consistent maintenance of material master data, production bills of material (PBoMs) and other prerequisites for production. This is particularly relevant when your company has a focus on engineering with frequent changes of a product or a high rate of handovers from engineering to production. You can create product designs from scratch or import them into SAP Business ByDesign from your external engineering system. In SAP Business ByDesign you can maintain them in order to match production capabilities. When released, product designs can be handed over to production and a production bill of material is generated automatically. Materials can be assigned to product designs or to the associated production bill of material. Production models are generated from the production bill of materials, providing the basis for production. Scenario/Processes Business Value Scenario Flow Further Information

The designs created in those systems are the basis for supply chain activities, as well as communication with your customers. Therefore, these digital designs need to be available to the rest of your organization and changes to them need to be communicated without delay to ensure that your organization works with up-to-date and consistent information. This is important, for example, when preparing the supply process or when checking if supplies are available at desired cost.

Product Engineering Process Details: Preparing for Production Scenario Explorer Process DescriptionFurther Information Click process chevrons for details In the Work Centers Planning and Production Master Data Preparing for Production X Create, maintain, and assign materials Maintain production bills of material and production bill of material variants Create, maintain, and release production models iii The Preparing for Production business process covers the management of production bills of materials (PBoMs) and all other master data that are prerequisites for production and is aimed at facilitating maximum reuse. The production planner maintains the PBoMs that have been handed over by the product engineer. New variants of a production bill of material can be created and input materials can be assigned or changed. Where applicable, material masters themselves can be created and updated. Engineering change orders control all changes to production bills of material. The production engineer creates production models and assigns a PBoM variant and a bill of operations to the production model. The bill of operation provides details about the individual steps in the production. The user can check a new or changed production model to verify if it can be released to supply chain planning and production execution. Once the production model is released, everything is prepared for production.

You can increase customer satisfaction by reducing lead time in engineering and reduce quality costs by automating the creation of the bill of materials. SAP Business ByDesign helps efficiently manage CAD / TDM data import and the adaption or creation of bills of material. Released designs can be handed over to production. Improve employee productivity in engineering by using automated functions to import design and create corresponding production bills of material Different versions can be created for each product design to help you keep an overview of the product’s evolution Product design can be adapted to the need and capabilities of production and then converted into a production bill of material Key Benefits Adapt Adapt Product Design Versions Release Product Design Versions Design Create Product Design Manually Import Design from CAD Systems Business Value Scenario/Processes Scenario Flow Further Information
