MES–ERP Integration Sequence
How production orders flow from ERP planning to the shop floor MES and how confirmations, goods movements and scrap flow back.
Drawing diagram…
What this diagram shows
- ERP releases orders; MES schedules and executes them
- Material consumption and output are confirmed back to ERP
- Scrap is reported so ERP can adjust stock and costs
Prompt used
MES-ERP integration sequence: ERP (SAP) releases a production order with BOM and routing, the integration layer sends it to the MES, the MES schedules it on a line, operators start it, the MES backflushes material consumption to ERP, reports operation confirmations, posts finished goods receipt and scrap quantities, and ERP updates stock and order costs and technically completes the order.
