| # Repetitive Manufacturing (RPT) The Repetitive Manufacturing module manages the production of standard products that are produced in large quantities. The Repetitive Manufacturing module provides a simplified procedure for the production orders in the Shop Floor Control module. The Repetitive Manufacturing module allows the control of orders for standard anonymous and standard-to-order items. Production is planned an carried out through a schedule, which consists of planned and actual orders with end dates that coincide with a specific period. Production orders are planned based on the capacity of the work center that control the production rate (bottleneck work center). Production orders are consolidated for the schedule, and then production is controlled by the schedule. You can process the production data by using production schedules. The production schedule lines are automatically generated by the following modules: Master Planning module in Enterprise Planning. Resource Requirement Planning module in Enterprise Planning. Shop Floor Control module in Manufacturing. Inventory Handling module in Warehouse Management. This only holds for order lines relating to repetitive items (RPT items), which can be specified in the Item Production Data module. The order type is determined by the module that generated the order. After you release the order, the order status is set to Released and the order type is set to SFC, regardless of the module that generated the order. You can process an SFC order with a Released status in the Repetitive Manufacturing module, and also in the Shop Floor Control module. The shortest route, however, is the RPT procedure.
