SAP reference for production resources and routings

This reference translates the current public Community/Enterprise contracts. The legacy planning-* codebase is not a mapping authority; confirm final availability in the deployed edition and OpenAPI.

This page complements production resources and routings with common SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA analogies.

Production resources

OpsFactor Nearby SAP field Common SAP tables Note
resourceId WERKS + ARBPL CRHD Plant and work center form a stable external code
description KTEXT work-center text tables Description shown to the planner
locationId WERKS CRHD Plant is usually mapped to the production location
capacity capacity assigned to the work center KAKO, KAPA Interpret calendar, unit, and capacity formula

Because ARBPL can repeat across plants, prefer 1000-LINE-01 over LINE-01 alone when all locations share one OpsFactor namespace.

Routings and operations

OpsFactor Nearby SAP field Common SAP tables Note
routingId PLNNR + PLNAL PLKO Group and group counter identify the routing alternative
assigned material MATNR MAPL Assignment between material and task list
operation VORNR PLPO Operation number within the routing
operation resource ARBID, resolved to ARBPL PLPO, CRHD Connects the operation to its work center
operation text LTXA1 PLPO Short activity description
control key STEUS PLPO Controls SAP operations; map only when an equivalent behavior is needed

SAP's official integration pattern concatenates group PLNNR and group counter PLNAL with a hyphen. An appropriate routingId is therefore:

50001234-01

If the extract mixes different task-list types that can collide, also include PLNTY, for example N-50001234-01. An operation can be identified within the routing as 50001234-01-0010.
