This document discusses how to technically complete a production order in SAP. It provides instructions on: - Performing necessary checks before closing a production order by using transactions like CO03, COHV, and COOIS to monitor production order status. - Understanding how technically completing a production order signals that production is finished and releases materials and capacity reservations. - Reconciling confirmed and receipted quantities daily to accurately record production data in real-time. - Analyzing production order variances by comparing target and actual quantities produced using transaction CO03 to identify errors and support continuous improvement.

1. Production Order Closing
(Technically Completing
the Production Order)

2. • Introduce yourself, give your:
– Name
– Current position
– Experience
• Prerequisite:
– Manufacturing Overview
– Manage production Orders
– Production Order Execution
• This module explains how to close the production order
technically complete (TECO) the production Order.

3. Participant Expectations

4. Objectives
• At the end of this you will be able to:
– Perform the necessary checks before closing production order
(TECO)
– Use tools to monitor the status of a P.O. Use Transactions like
CO03,COHV and COOIS.
Execute SAP reports to check the information that has been
reported against a production order
– Take corrective action when required. This imply to:
• Understand the status relationships of the production order.
• P.O. Changes
• P.O. Deletion

5. Technical Completion of production Order
• The purpose of this transaction is to signal that production on this production
order has been completed and that no additional quantities or activities are
expected.
– The order is not relevant for MRP planning
– Reservations for remaining materials are released
– Capacity requirements are deleted
• At this point adjustments to consumption of labour time and materials can be
made by revoking the technically complete status (e.g. additional
consumptions, productions, or confirmations).

6. Data recording-Best Practice
• Real-time:
–Record Confirmations (Count point) for each
operation.
• Per shift:
–Confirm / enter the actual times ( Standard
values) Ex: Setup time, M/C time etc
• Per production Order
–Reconcile confirmed and receipted quantities
at the end of each shift/ day.

7. Production order variance reporting
• The purpose of PO Variance Analysis is to:
– Check information reported and correct obvious errors
– support Continuous Improvement
• Compare the target produced quantity with the effectively delivered quantity
– Use Display production Order (CO03). In the header compare "Total qty"
and "Delivered“.
– The delivered quantity reflect what has been declared as good confirmed
from production
• Compare material consume and target quantities
– Use Display production Order (CO03). In the menu, you find ‘Goto’, click
this, select documented goods movements. Here you will find the
information on how much stock has been consumed and how much has
been produced.
