When we need to convert a printer's handing (either from a left hand to convert to a right hand or vice-versa), the following process should be applied within SAP:


  • Go to Production module
  • Click on 'Production Order'
  • In the production order screen, set the following parameters within the page header:
Type = Standard

Status = Planned

Product No. = enter the item code of the printer type being converted to

Planned Qty = specify the quantity of printers to be converted (this will default to 1 unless otherwise specified)

Warehouse = 01 (this is the default unless otherwise specified)

Due Date = enter the required date for the work to be completed 

NB. if the conversion is to fulfil a specific sales order then this number should also be referenced within the 'Sales Order' field.

  • If a bill of materials already exists against the item code entered in Product No. the components of this BOM will listed in the tab 'Components'. These items should be deleted by right clicking on each row and selecting 'delete row'


  • In 'Item No.' enter the item code of the printer being converted from. The item number of the required conversion kit will also need to be entered on the next row.
  • Enter the serial number of the machine being converted in to 'Remarks'.
  • Click on 'Add'. The production order will then be printed automatically.

  • When you wish to issue the production order to the workshop, the 'Status' of the production order should be updated to 'Released' and then updated.
  • Once the conversion has been completed by the workshop and the production order has been returned, return to the Production module.
  • Click on 'Receipt from Production'


  • Either click on 'Production Order' (bottom right) and choose the production order to be receipted in to stock from the list, or in the 'Contents' tab in the 'Order No.' field, manually type the production order number to be receipted.
  • Click on 'Add'
  • You will then need to enter the serial number for the printer, then click 'Update' and then 'OK'


  • Click on 'Add'
  • The system will then present the following message to confirm that the transaction is about to be added. Click on 'Yes' if you wish to complete the transaction.
