Step 1: Check Inventory Balances
In this step we will determine if we have the required raw materials to produce ten Deluxe Touring Bikes
(red) and then create the raw materials we need with “inventory from heaven.”
Step 1.1: The table below shows the Bill of Material required for one Deluxe Touring Bike
(red). Be sure to get the correct amount of materials.

Step 2: Create Planned Order
Normally, the material planning process would determine the need to produce bicycles. However, for the
purpose of this exercise, you have manually determined that you need 10 red Deluxe Touring Bikes (DXTR
3###). To manufacture these bikes, you need 20 Touring Aluminum Wheel Assemblies (TRWA1###).
Therefore you must produce the wheel assemblies before you produce the bikes.
You will go through the steps in this exercise twice: once for the wheel assemblies, and once for the
bikes. The instructions below include the data for the wheel assemblies. When you repeat these steps for
the bikes, be sure to modify these data as needed.
When you go through the production process a second time, do not forget to write down any
material document or confirmation numbers SAP gives you.
First, create a planned order for the 20 wheel assemblies.
Step 2.1: Navigate to the transaction to create a planned order:
Q1: What is the transaction code to create a planned order: ---------------
Step 2.2: In the “Create Planned Order: Initial Screen” enter the following information:
Field Name Data Entry

Q2: Write down your planned order numbers: --------------------------------
Outcome and Analysis You have now created a planned order for production.
Refer to a previous exercise for instructions on how to review your material inventory balance. After you
review this inventory, answer the following questions.
Make certain you check the location for semi-finished materials rather than for raw materials.
Q3: How many Aluminum Wheel Assemblies are unrestricted: -----------------
Refer to a previous exercise for instructions on how to review your material inventory account. After you
review these accounts, answer the following questions.
Q4: What is the dollar value of the Aluminum Wheel Assembly
in inventory: -------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ENTER)
Click on the button in the first column, for the row with the first planned order (PldOrd). This
screen will display details of the planned order.
Next, click on the button. You will see a screen called ”Production order Create: Header”
and a message that reads “Release carried out.”

You are back in the Stock/Requirements list screen. Refresh the data by clicking the button. You will
notice that the “MRP element” column has changed from PldOrd to PrdOrd.
Remember that you will authorize the production of DXTR3### the second time you complete
this exercise. However, if you try to do this before you have completed the production of the
wheel assemblies (TRWA1###), you will get a message indicating that the release is rejected
because all of the materials needed to make DXTR3### are not available.
Outcome and Analysis Refer to a previous exercise for instructions on how to review your material inventory balance. Review the
inventory of your materials, and then answer the following questions.
Make sure you check the location for the semi-finished materials rather than the raw materials.
