1 Demo Script Overview
1.1 Demo Overview
The Manufacturing Basics scenario enables your company to produce goods and place them in stock. Your customer
demands such as sales orders or service orders can then be covered using this existing stock. You define demand
management procedures to define the appropriate make-to-stock strategies that best suit your company’s business
requirements. Using forecast demand, you can plan for periodic demand. Customer demands are then covered by this
produced or procured stock and consume the forecast demand per the predefined demand management procedures.
Multi-level supply planning ensures that the goods receipts for all required products, including product specifications, are
planned on time which, in turn, means that you can trigger the creation of purchase orders and production orders on time. If
all required components are in stock, you only need to create production orders. Releasing the production order triggers the
creation of a production lot and all the necessary production tasks (supply, make, and check) required to commence
execution.
When the final confirmation is complete, the system automatically posts the produced stock to the predefined production
output area and triggers inventory and financial accounting updates. From here you can deliver the product to the customer.
The key features that are part of this scenario are linked to the ByDesign high level features of Transparency, Adaptability
and Efficiency, which, in turn, lays the foundations of Profitability and Growth, which are the main pillars of any business.
Transparency is provided by Supply Planning views through multiple levels of production and procurement.
Efficiency is provided by the Integrated Best Business Practice flow for Make to Stock.
Adaptability is provided by alternate sourcing of production.
1.2 Intended Audience
SAP internal: Sales, Presales, New hires
SAP external: CEO, CIO, Logistics Management
1.3 Protagonists
Sales Manager

1.4 Business Pain Points
Manufacturing organizations must carefully balance inventory in the form of components, sub-assemblies, and finished
goods to meet customer demand while keeping investments in working capital to a minimum to deliver profit to their
stakeholders. Many smaller organizations lack the tools to accomplish this task. Below are some common issues we see on
a regular basis.
Sales has no visibility to inventory or projected inventory and cannot provide accurate Available to Promise information
to their customers.
Golden Demo Manufacturing Basics
Document Version: 20171218 5
Planning may be disconnected or even offline in spreadsheets and is usually executed on a weekly basis. This means
the management of exceptions is delayed by several days on average.
The determination of requirements through multiple levels of production is difficult to manage in basic tools so many
companies resort to holding excess inventory to meet customer demand.
Planning is usually only possible on a system wide basis run periodically. Planning for a single top level finished good is
not possible and must wait for the entire run. This delays reaction to issues.
Best practice methods such as MRP are not always understood because the results are not visual in nature, they are
just numbers.
Exceptions are many times lost in the mass of transactions to be processed.
Capacity planning at any level is rare in the smaller systems. This causes exceptions because capacity constraints
cause issues a good portion of the time.
Capacity planning needs to start simple and then be flexible to model rapid changes in schedule to meet changing
customer demand.
The output of planning is many times manual so requisitions and production orders are prone to errors.
Final planning and communication of work authorization to the production floor may make assumptions the production
workers know how to build items instead of providing all the details.
Production feedback is not always performed due to the detail nature of the transactions. This introduces errors in
inventory and causes missed shipments.
Shipping methods need to start simple, but have the capability to integrate to systems like UPS Worldship to improve
efficiency or reduce dual entry.
Invoicing is sometimes difficult because customers may require different invoicing approaches such as weekly invoices
for one customer and individual invoices for others.
The overriding issues are a lack of visibility, integration, and best practices in a common platform.
