| # Case description The input for this case is a request from the customer for a quotation to be copied into an actual order that contains the commercial, technical, and quality requirements as specified during the quotation phase. First, in the main function order entry, the quotation can be copied into an actual order. The project can then be defined in more detail and the final product engineering can be carried out. Based on the information coming from product engineering, the final modifications/additions to be made to the project can be made and a budget can be calculated for the project. In project planning, a planning can then be made and can be checked against the available capacity. If the available capacity is not enough, modifications to the plan can be made. Based on this planning, the purchase orders, as well as the long-lead-time items, can then be sent to the supplier or subcontractor. When the goods are received, the process can continue. Production order scheduling can now schedule the production orders. Immediately after production order scheduling, project cost and planning control is triggered so that any progress made to the project can then be measured. Production order execution control can then initiate the actual start of the production and can monitor the progress that is made with the production orders. Before you can start to produce goods, you must pick the goods. Production order execution control can close the production orders when the orders are finished. After production, inspection of the individual items can take place and when the final product is then ready for delivery, shipping can be carried out. Because project cost and planning control controlled the project during the total production of the final product, project cost and planning control will recognize when the project has ended. From there, project evaluation and closing will be triggered. After final delivery, the invoice can be sent and processed further by invoicing, credit control and bank statement processing. |
