Chapter 6: Production Process

You can create Bill of Material (BOM) without defining a material in the system.

False

A planned order is a proposal either to produce a material in-house or to acquire it externally (procurement). It is a planning tool and cannot be changed or deleted.

False

Make-to-order is when the production order is related to a production plan that seeks to maintain a level of inventory deemed adequate to meet finished product demand.

False

Storage locations identify areas within a plant where equipment (e.g., machines) is stored and activities completed.

False

An MRP controller is assigned to a in the material master. A. Order B. Work centers C. Materials D. Production process

Materials

Which of the following activities does NOT impact FI? A) Production order B) Goods receipt C) Order settlement D) Goods issue

Production order

There are several forms of the production process. Which is not the most common form? A. Discrete B. Repetitive C. Process D. Project

Project

A work center is a place where production activities occur.

True

An MRP Controller is a person or a group of people who are responsible for planning for materials in production and for ensuring that the needed materials are available when needed.

True

Discrete production is used for manufacturing a single item or unit.

True

Make-to-order is when the production order is connected directly to an order for the finished product.

True

The material is manufactured according to a production order that specifies the quantity of the specific material to be produced in discrete production.

True

The order confirmation parameters are defined by plant and order type.

True

The production process cannot continue without an order release.

True

The production scheduler is the person responsible for the scheduling and control of a material.

True

The production scheduling profile determines which activities are carried out in the background when the production order is created.

True

The configuration of scheduling parameters involves A) Defining scheduling parameters for each plant B) Defining production order type C) Defining production scheduler the attributes that need to be maintained D) All of the above

All of the above

Which of the following is an activity which can occur in background when planned order is converted to production order? A) Scheduling of Prod order B) Release prod order on production order creation C) Determination of Materials Availability for Prod. Order D) All of the above

All of the above

Which is assigned to a production scheduler? A. Material Master B. Work Center C. Production scheduling profile D. Both A and C

Both A and C

Which is NOT one of the three most important master data elements in production? A) Work centers B) Bills of material C) Capacity D) Routings

Capacity

What are the three confirmation types? A) Partial, Complete, Final B) Settlement, Final, Cleared C) Partial, Automatic, Cleared D) Partial, Final, Automatic Final

Partial, Final, Automatic Final

Which of the following represent a typical production process? A) Planned order > Goods issue > Production order > Order confirmation > Goods receipt B) Planned order > Order confirmation > Production order > Goods issue > Goods receipt C) Planned order > Production order > Goods issue > Order confirmation > Goods receipt D) Planned order > Order confirmation > Goods issue > Production order > Goods receipt

Planned order > Production order > Goods issue > Order confirmation > Goods receipt

Which of the following is NOT true about planned and production order? A) Planned order authorizes production B) Planned order can be a result of the fulfillment process C) Production order can be created in reference to a planned order D) Production order can trigger a purchase requisition

Planned order authorizes production

Which of the following activities does NOT impact CO? A) Goods issue B) Production order C) Planned production D) Goods receipt

Planned production

Which manufacturing often involves mixing and blending of ingredients to create the final product? A. Process B. Discrete C. Repetitive D. Project

Process

The common set up for raw materials is that they are: A) Purchased externally B) Produced internally C) Both A or B D) Neither A or B

Purchased externally

A material master must exist for the material the BOM is being created for.

True

A planned order is a proposal either to produce a material in-house or to acquire it externally (procurement). It is a planning tool and can be changed or deleted most of the time with no impact on the system.

True

Work center locations identify areas within a plant where equipment (e.g., machines) is stored and activities completed.
