Abstract
The conversion of planned orders into production orders is either triggered in SAP APO™ or in SAP ERP™. The conversion itself is in any case performed in SAP ERP™. To trigger the order conversion in SAP APO™, the two alternatives exits: Either with the transaction /SAPAPO/RRP7 or by setting the conversion indicator interactively for the individual order.
Since the planned order and the production order are different objects in SAP ERP™, at the time of the order conversion the planned order is deleted in SAP ERP™ and a production order is created, including the BOM explosion, the explosion of the routing and a scheduling of each operation. If the conversion is triggered in SAP ERP™, simply the information about the deletion of the planned order and the creation of the production order is transferred, so that the scheduling of the planned order is lost, figure 18.1.
Triggering the order conversion from SAP APO™ has the advantage that the connection between the deleted planned order and the new production order is considered, so that the production order is matched with the planned order and the operation dates are kept as shown in figure 18.2.
