SAP Shop Floor Control governs real-time manufacturing tracking and monitoring across factory operations. It controls production order execution stages including system and user status management, availability checking, operation dispatching, time confirmations, and production performance reporting.
Key characteristics and aspects of SAP Shop Floor Control include:
-
Order Status Management:
- Tracking system statuses (CRTD, REL, PCNF, CNF, TECO, CLSD) and custom user status profiles.
-
Milestone & Time Confirmations:
- Configuring milestone operations that automatically confirm preceding operation steps.
-
Goods Movement Control:
- Automating backflushing, manual component issue, and finished goods receipt logic.
-
Order Information System (COOIS):
