Changes to Realignment (Enhanced)

Use

The realignment function has been redesigned in SAP SCM Release 4.0.

Realignment is necessary when changes are made to the characteristic value combinations, which are the basis for planning in Demand Planning. For instance, you want to introduce new products or manufacture a product in another location.

In Release 4.0 there are two methods available

1. Realignment

Characteristic value combinations are maintained for master planning object structures. Realignment itself works at this level. You maintain a table with the required new entries and periodically execute realignment based on the entries in this table . The system creates new characteristic value combinations based on selected values from existing combinations. It then copies the data from the old combinations to the new ones. The data of all key figures in all planning areas that are based on the master planning object structure is copied.

If required, the old combinations are then deleted together with the data.

1. Copy Function

Data itself is stored at planning area level. If the characteristic value combinations already exist and you want to copy data from one combination to another, you use this function. Since the extent of the function is limited to the planning area, more selection options are available than for the master planning object structure. It is possible:

• To copy data between individual versions

• To select the key figures to be copied

• To restrict the period in which data is copied

An extensive log is available for both functions.

Effects on Existing Data

If you have created a realignment table for a master planning object structure in a previous release, you must create a new table in SCM 4.0. This means that before upgrading you should execute all the realignment steps in the table. After the upgrade you create a new realignment table before entering new steps.
