To define the production life cycle stages, you should perform the following actions in sequence:

• Create a production order. A production order is a document that authorizes the production of a specific product or product variant in a given quantity on a specific date1. You can create a production order manually, from a sales order line, or from master planning execution2.
• Estimate the order. Estimating a production order calculates the material and capacity requirements for the order based on the bill of materials (BOM) and the route3. You can also estimate the cost and revenue of the order based on the planned consumption and output.
• Schedule production jobs. Scheduling production jobs determines the start and end dates and times for each operation in the route based on the available capacity, efficiency, and calendar of the resources. You can use either operations scheduling or job scheduling methods to schedule production jobs.
• Release the order. Releasing a production order makes it available for picking, production, and reporting activities. You can release an order manually or automatically based on a release rule that specifies criteria such as site, warehouse, status, priority, or start date.
• Generate a picking list. A picking list is a document that lists the materials that must be picked from inventory and consumed for production. You can generate a picking list for an entire production order or for selected jobs or operations within an order.

• The flushing principle is a setting that determines how and when the raw materials are consumed from inventory and registered as work in progress (WIP) for production orders and batch orders1. The flushing principle can be configured at the product level, the bill of materials (BOM) or formula line level, or the production order or batch order line level1.
• The Start flushing principle indicates that the material will be automatically consumed when the production order is started1. The amount of material that is consumed is proportional to the quantity that is started. This principle is relevant if, for example, the variance in the consumption is low, the materials are low-value materials, there are no tracking requirements, or there’s a short run time on operations1.
• In this scenario, the warehouse manager requires that products are removed from on-hand inventory and consumed when they are picked and staged for production. Therefore, the Start flushing principle should be configured for the batch-tracked products. This way, the products will be deducted from inventory and set to WIP as soon as the production order is started on the hand-held device.

The configuration mechanism that you should use is Intercompany planning groups. Here is the explanation:

• Intercompany planning groups are groups of companies that are planned together in master planning. Intercompany planning groups allow you to include planned downstream demand from other companies in your master plan, and also to peg across companies by using multilevel pegging1. You can use intercompany planning groupsto plan for intercompany sales and purchases, and to optimize the production capacity across companies1.
• In this scenario, you need to configure master planning for the facilities that must be planned together. To do this, you should create intercompany planning groups that include the relevant plants from different legal entities. For example, you can create an intercompany planning group that includes Plant 1, Plant 3, and Plant 4 from LegalEntityA and LegalEntityB. You can also specify the schedulingsequence for the companies in the intercompany planning group, which determines the order in which master planning is run for each company1.
• The other options are not correct, because they do not involve intercompany planning. Production groups are groups of production orders that share the same parameters, such as ledger accounts and posting profiles2. Item model groups are groups of items that share the same inventory policies, such as reservation, tracking, and costing3. Coverage groups are groups of items that share the same coverage settings, such as coverage code, period, and time fence.

The manufacturing execution functionality that meets the requirement of printing license plate labels for products in the Report as finished step is License plates. Here is the explanation:

• License plates are unique identifiers that are assigned to containers, pallets, or individual items in inventory. License plates can be used to track and manage inventory throughout the warehouse processes, such as receiving, put away, picking, packing, and shipping1. License plates can also be used in production processes, such as reporting as finished and raw material picking2.
• To print license plate labels for products in the Report as finished step, you must enable the Generate license plate option on the mobile device menu item that is used for reporting as finished2. You must also set up a document routing layout and a document routing for license plate labels3. When you use the mobile device to report a production order as finished, the system will generate a license plate for the finished product and print a license plate label to the specified printer2. The license plate label can include information such as the item number, batch number, quantity, and barcode of the finished product3.
