2. How you define Standard Cost and Variable cost in PP?
3. Where can you find Read PP Master in SAP(PP)?
4. What are all the settings done for configuring integration of PP with FICO?

1. Do availability check. You will get missing parts list. Procure those missing parts. Then confirm the production order. One more thing you can do, change customize setting so that user cannot release if parts are missing during order release.

2. Standard cost is the cost which is fixed for a period, variable cost is varying with period. As for example cost of semi finished, finished materials are fixed & cost of raw materials are varied.

3. You will find in master data tab page of production header data overview, CO02 - Read PP Master Data. Also from Functions menu you will get Read PP Master Data.  This means that you want the system to re-update the production order with the latest BOM structure.

1. Can MRP be carried out for one particular level of a bom ( Level code : 0001/0002 etc).
    Yes it can be done by running for specific materials (Single Material Single Level)

2  How Requiements( PIR,Sles Order, Customer Requirement)  are reduced  after they are produced?
    Reqmts are reduced automatically after Delivery is made to the Particular Order
    (In case of Strategy 11, the PIRs are consumed after the GR for Production Order)

3. Can't one material be assigned to more than one operation in a routing?
    One material from a BOM CANNOT be assigned to different Operations.
    It can be done by defining the material for so many times as required in the BOM

4. How to insert an inspection checkpoint at the end of an operation?
    If in process sample is to be defined, assign inspection type 03 in the Material Master.
    Then create MICs and assign them in the Routings.
    System automatically generates the Inspection Lots

5. Where we have to specify the teardown time in one operation?
    Teardown time can be defined as one of the Standard Parameters...

6. How the process time is calculated in a WC when both labour, Machine categories exist?
    Scheduling is done based on the Capacity Category we define in the Workcenter

7. How to create opbject dependencies in a BOM FOR A CONFIGURABLE MATERIAL?
    Go to Extras -> Object Dependency -> Assign
    For this U need to create Characteristics and Class (of Class Type 300) earlier

8. Can any body explain me why work scheduling view is required for semi finished and finished products? 
    (Because we'll mention all details in MRP views)
A) We need to maintain working scheduling view in order to make that finished or semi finished goods available for 
     production as we assign production scheduler and production scheduler profile in this view, if not maintained
     conversion of planned order to production will not be possible.
