Standard delivery element
The Standard Delivery Element (SDE) is a standard production element from the bottom-up view (production view, manufacturing view, delivery view). In the SDE there is a service element and a production process element that have been combined in the manufacture / definition of a standard module.
The focus is on the standard production process of a delivery unit. The aim is to use economies of scale in order to minimize production costs. A sufficient amount is required to form a standard.
Thomas Gantenbein describes this in his article “Clever standardize” in Computerwoche.ch: “The aim is not to standardize the products, but rather the production, procedures and processes. Standard components are only used where they are essential and occur in large numbers. "
Each SDE includes a detailed description of services and the calculation of production costs (plan tariff) for a plan quantity. In the cost center , SDEs are charged as activity types (SAP). So that these produced service elements can be harmonized with the sales elements , portfolio elements or SSE ( Standard Service Element ), there are different characteristics of the SDE. These so-called SDE options describe different service levels, different security levels or storage requirements. This ensures that standard production meets customer requirements.
