Short text

Semantics in the Planning Area (Changed)

Use

It was previously possible to assign key figure semantics to a key figure in the planning area. You used these semantics to define both the business meaning of a key figure and the meaning for read and write operations in liveCache. You could also use the key figure semantics to specify which quantity type was to be considered when reading orders from liveCache. The quantity type was thus assigned for each key figure, meaning that it applied to all order categories in a category group.

New key figure function

As of SAP APO 4.0, you can now specify the business meaning of a key figure separately from its liveCache-related meaning. You now use a new key figure function to define the business meaining. SNP uses this business meaning to decide how a key figure is used during planning. For example, if the business meaning Distribution Receipt for Deployment has been assigned to the 9AFSHIP (DistrReceipt (Conf.)) key figure, Supply Network Planning uses this key figure to store and read the distribution receipt for deployment. You assign a key figure function to the key figures to be considered by Supply Network Planning in the planning area. For auxiliary key figures, you assign the key figure function in the planning book.

To specify the liveCache-related meaning of a key figure, you will continue to use the existing key figure semantics.

Assigning the quantity type to individual categories

The quantity type can now be assigned to an individual category rather than to a key figure. In addition to the three quantity types previously available, there is now one more type called Confirmed Quantity. The type that was previously called Confirmed Quantity is now called the pegging-relevant quantity. It can include both the confirmed and requested quantity and is mainly relevant for Production Planning and Scheduled Planning (PP/DS) and Capable-to-Match Planning (CTM) (SNP does not support pegging). In SNP, you have to choose the new Confirmed Quantity type if you set in Customizing for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling that the requested quantity is a quantity of sales orders that is relevant for pegging but you want to continue working with the confirmed quantity in SNP. For more information, see release info: Pegging-Relevant Quantity for Sales Orders.

Effects on Existing Data

Effects on Data Transfer

Effects on System Administration

An XPRA (/SAPAPO/SNPSEMANTICXPRA) was used to assign a key figure function to all SNP key figures and auxiliary key figures in the planning area.

Effects on Customizing

You use the Maintain Category Groups Customizing activity to assign the quantity type to a category. You can also define for each category whether you want the system to read fixed orders, non-fixed orders, or both when reading orders of this category for a key figure from liveCache.
