LOG_SD_SMI: Supplier-Managed Inventory for SNC-ERP Integration (New)

Use

As of SAP ECC 6.0, Enhancement Package 4 (EA-CP 604), business function Supplier-Managed Inventory for SNC-ERP Integration, you can optimize the collaboration between a customer's SAP systems (SAP ERP and SAP SNC) and a vendor's SAP ERP system for the replenishment process. The customer might be an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), for example, and the vendor an automotive supplier.

Up to now, if a customer used the process for Supplier-Managed Inventory (SMI) with their vendors, the vendors had to retrieve the SMI-relevant data manually from the customer's SAP SNC system using a Web-based interface (Web UI), determine their replenishment proposals manually, and enter them in the customer's SAP SNC system.

These manual steps by the vendor are no longer necessary with this business function. The exchange of SMI-relevant data between customer (SAP SNC) and vendor (SAP ERP) is fully automatic and takes place using an Enterprise Service (ProductActivityNotification_In and ProductActivityNotification_Out). The replenishment proposals are calculated in the vendor's SAP ERP system. Different replenishment calculation procedures can be set up depending on the material. The vendor controls the replenishment calculation procedure with an SMI monitor. All important SNC data (such as time series for requirements, stock, and so on) is displayed and can be edited on the monitor for each material. You can also display the results of replenishment planning.

The business function optimizes the collaboration between customer and vendor during replenishment planning. The vendor can plan and deliver independently in the range of stock requirements specified by the customer (minimum/maximum).

The following central functions belong to this business function:

• Automatic handling of the SMI process between customer and vendor using the SAP SNC system

• Automatic calculation of the planned receipt quantities (replenishment)

• Automatic transfer of the planned receipts to the customer

Effects on Existing Data

Effects on Data Transfer

The SAP ERP system communicates with the SAP SNC system using XML messages (ProductActivityNotification (inbound/outbound)).

Effects on System Administration

As vendor, you must sign the SAP_COCKPIT_ SMI role to the ERP user.

Effects on Customizing

You make the settings for this function in Customizing for Sales and Distribution by choosing Basic Functions -> Supplier-Managed Inventory -> Maintain SMI Agreements and SMI Profiles.
