Hi,
The facility I work at produces rubber parts. We have many groups of identical machines. The only difference between the machines is the work center name. Currently we have our SAP system routing all planned orders to a generic, fictional press group (Press All) in order to accumulate backlog holistically. When it's time to create the production order, we simply update the work center in the operation list. The problem with doing this is there wont ever be a production version created that associates with the real press. I've identified that in order to get production version, we'll need to create alternate sequences at the molding operation. So here's the question. How do I create alternate sequences for the real presses, Press 1, Press 2, and Press 3, that copies the data inputs from the standard, generic sequence? If we have to create each alternate sequence from scratch, this process will take countless hours and will risk a lot of human error.
- Press All (fictional, holds all planned orders until production order conversion)
- Press 1 (real, need an alternate sequence at operation 50)
- Press 2 (real, need an alternate sequence at operation 50)
- Press 3 (real, need an alternate sequence at operation 50)
