Selection modes for running MRP in SAP include MRP Live (A), Classical MRP (C), and Regenerative MRP (D). These modes offer different approaches to material requirements planning, from real-time processing in MRP Live to comprehensive re-planning in Regenerative MRP.

The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in project management is used for several purposes, including:

To evaluate aggregated data (A): WBS allows for the aggregation and analysis of project data at various levels, facilitating project monitoring and control.

To allocate budgets (D): Budgets are allocated to different elements of the WBS, enabling detailed financial planning and control at each level of the project.

To define responsibilities (E): WBS elements are associated with specific responsibilities, clarifying the roles and accountability within the project team.

To schedule warehouse tasks (B) is not a function of the WBS; warehouse tasks are managed through logistics and supply chain management systems.

To manage equipment (C) is also not a direct function of the WBS; equipment management is typically handled through asset management or maintenance systems.

In the material master, the Procurement Type (A) setting determines whether a material will be procured externally, produced in-house, or both. This setting is crucial for Material Requirements Planning (MRP), as it guides the MRP system on how to replenish the material - by generating purchase requisitions for external procurement or planned orders for in-house production. Reference = SAP Material Management (MM) and Production Planning (PP) documentation.

Technical Completion of Maintenance Order: When a maintenance order is set to technically completed (TECO), it signifies that the physical work is finished, but there might still be administrative tasks to complete.

Effects of TECO:

B . Incoming Invoices: Even after TECO, the system allows processing of incoming invoices related to the order, ensuring financial transactions can be completed.

C . Purchase Requisitions: Open purchase requisitions linked to the order are automatically marked for deletion, preventing unnecessary procurement.

D . Material Reservation: Materials reserved for the order are released, making them available for other orders or operations.

Implementation in SAP S/4HANA:

Change the status of the maintenance order to TECO in the Plant Maintenance (PM) module.

Verify the automatic processing of invoices, deletion flags on purchase requisitions, and the release of reserved materials.

Manager Self-Service (MSS): MSS in SAP provides managers with direct access to relevant information and transactions to manage their team and departmental responsibilities effectively.

Key Activities in MSS:

A . Control Costs: Managers can use MSS to monitor and control the costs associated with their department, such as personnel costs, expenses, and departmental budgets.

D . Manage Budget: MSS allows managers to view, adjust, and manage the budget allocated to their department, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives and financial constraints.

Implementation and Usage: MSS is configured within the SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) module, providing managers with tools and reports to oversee their department's financial performance and resource allocation.
