Processing of confirmations (changed)

Use

Previously, confirmations were processed from SAP R/3 via its own CIF interface. The necessary settings for quantity propagation were made in SAP APO Customizing for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling under Maintain Global Parameters and Defaults and in the location product master.

As of SAP APO 3.1 and R/3 Plug-In 2001.2, quantity propagation takes place in SAP R/3, which makes the confirmation process simpler and less open to errors. This eliminates the problem of there not being a return integration of quantity propagation to SAP R/3.

In Customizing for SAP APO the fields of the corresponding IMG activity (Quantity Propagation, Component Adjustment and Remaining Duration Adjustment) are no longer needed and were therefore deleted.

For the same reason, the corresponding confirmation fields were also deleted from the location product master in SAP APO.

Effects on Data Transfer

The confirmation in SAP R/3 is transferred to SAP APO as an order change. SAP APO adjusts capacity requirements and operation durations according to PPM entries or the current R/3 operation durations (if you are working without a PPM). Since SAP APO has scheduling autonomy, planned changes to dates are not transferred from SAP R/3. Dates are redetermined by SAP APO and, if necessary, transferred back to SAP R/3 (transaction /SAPAPO/CP3).

Effects on System Administration

In the application log in SAP APO you will no longer find the log for confirmations under subobject CONF: These are now under ORDER (order change method B).

Effects on Customizing

For the new processing of confirmations in R/3, certain settings have to be made in the production scheduling profile in the R/3 system that is connected to SAP APO.

  • Via the transaction CFO1 you see the screen Change View "Enhancements for Production Scheduling Profile in APO CIF". Place the cursor on the necessary production scheduling profile and choose Detail.
  • In screen section Confirmation the field Adjustment of Quantities after Confirmation corresponds to the deleted field Quantity Propagation.

  • Via the field Rescheduling After Quantity Adjustment you can control whether the order should be rescheduled in SAP R/3 after quantity adjustment.

  • You can reach the function that used to be contained in the deleted SAP APO field Component Adjustment via customer exit PPAPO010. The relevant example coding is defined there.

A prerequisite for the new processing of confirmations in R/3 is the SAP note 429441.

Note

As of SAP R/3 4.6C you can start the quantity propagation in standard R/3 via the field Adjust Quantities in Orders to Actual Values on the screen Change View "Production Scheduling Profile: Details (transaction OPKP). If you set this indicator, the corresponding Plug-In functions are ignored.

If you want to use these additional functions of the Plug-In you should leave this indicator blank and make the necessary settings in the screen Change View "Enhancements for Production Scheduling Profile in APO CIF" (see above).
