SOP: Standard Copying Methods

Description

In Sales & Operations Planning (SOP), you can copy quantity key figures from one information structure to another. The copying method you use depends on the planning methods of the source and target information structures and on the characteristics in each one. Release 3.0c of Sales & Operations Planning comes with standard copying methods for three combinations of planning methods:

  • consistent -> consistent
  • consistent -> level-by-level
  • delta -> level-by-level

Otherwise, you can either write your own copying method and define it in Customizing or use the LIS Copy Management function.

In Release 3.0C, the standard SOP copying methods are as follows:

Consistent -> Consistent

The system copies key figures quantities to the detailed level of the target information structure in one of two ways:

  1. The system attempts to match planning objects with identical characteristic values in the source and target information structures. It then copies key figure quantities to the target information structure for each planning object in the source information structure in which the characteristic value can be found.

Example

Source Information Structure

Region 01 01 02 03
Division 01 02 01 02
Material A A A A
Key figure 10 10 20 20
The key figure quantity at the detailed level is 60.

Target Information Structure

SalesOrg 0001 0001 0002 0002
DistChnl 01   02 01   02
Material A   A A   A
Plant   1 1 1   1
Key figure 60   60 60   60
The key figure quantity has been copied to the four planning objects which contain material A.

  1. The system attempts to match planning objects with identical characteristic values in the source and target information structures. It copies a key figure quantity once only for each characteristic value. This quantity is then distributed among the planning objects which contain this characteristic value. The quantity is distributed either equally or in accordance with the proportional factors.

If you desire an aggregate copy with subsequent distribution (see example below), you must perform one of two actions depending on whether you will be copying data online or in the background:
  • online processing

You set the Aggregate copy indicator in the second dialog box that appears after you have selected Edit -> Copy data in the planning table.
  • background processing

You carry out the function Planning -> Mass processing -> Delete/Copy -> High-level copy in the flexible planning menu.

Example

Source Information Structure

Region 01 01 02 03
Division 01 02 01 02
Material A A A A
Key figure 10 10 20 20
The key figure quantity at the detailed level is 60.

Target Information Structure

SalesOrg 0001 0001 0002 0002
DistChnl 01   02 01   02
Material A   A A   A
Plant   1 1 1   1
Key figure 15   15 15   15
The key figure quantity has been copied to material A and then distributed among the planning objects which contain this material.

Consistent -> Level-By-Level

The target information structure can be either the standard information structure S076 or an information structure you have created yourself. The level to which the key figure quantities are copied depends on the characteristics. When planning online, you specify these when calling up the planning table. When planning in the background, you specify the characteristics in the variant.

If plant is a specified characteristic of the target information structure but is not contained in the source information structure, the system distributes the key figure quantities across the different plants of each material provided that two conditions are fulfilled:

  • the target information structure is S076 or a similar information structure with the same characteristic fields
  • the proportions by which the key figure is to be distributed have been defined in Customizing.

Delta -> Level-By-Level

This method is used when you create sales plans in standard SOP by copying data from the Sales Information System in which one of the standard information structures for sales has been planned.

Effects on Customizing

You define an SOP copying method that you have written yourself in the Customizing step Define user methods.

You define the proportional distribution across plants in the Customizing step Define proportional distribution across plants.

You carry out LIS Copy Management in Customizing for the Logistics Information System under Copy Management.

Changes to the Interface

To perform an aggregate copy (consistent planning -> consistent planning) in the background, you carry out the function Planning -> Mass processing -> Delete/Copy -> High-level copy in the flexible planning menu.
