• Key Concepts: 
  A parent shop order is a type of production order in SAP Manufacturing Execution (MFG-ME). It is used to group together multiple production orders that are related to the same product or process. The parent shop order can be used to track the progress of all related production orders, and it can also be used to manage the resources needed for the entire process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a parent shop order, you must first create the individual production orders that will be grouped together. Once all of the production orders have been created, you can then create the parent shop order. This is done by selecting the “Create Parent Shop Order” option from the menu in MFG-ME. You will then be prompted to enter information about the parent shop order, such as its name, description, and start date. Once this information has been entered, you can then assign each of the individual production orders to the parent shop order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a parent shop order, it is important to make sure that all of the individual production orders are assigned correctly. This will ensure that all of the resources needed for the entire process are tracked and managed properly. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes that are made to any of the individual production orders, as these changes will need to be reflected in the parent shop order as well.
