Vendor-Managed Inventory (new)

Use

As of SAP APO 4.0, the following functions have been added to extend observance of stock in transit:

  • If the ship-to party sends the open purchase order quantity, the data sent and the TLB VMI orders are used to determine the stock in transit. If the calculated stock in transit differs from that stored in liveCache, the liveCache quantity is adjusted accordingly.
  • The ship-to party can now also send proof of delivery. (IDoc type: DELVRY03). The stock in transit corresponding to this is then deleted.
  • You can maintain the IDoc settings for stock in transit in Customizing (see: Effects on Customizing).
  • Exceptions occurring during inbound processing are displayed in the Supply Network Planning Alert Monitor.
  • You can manually edit stock in transit in Supply Network Planning.
  • The Do not create stock in transit indicator is available at the means of transport of the transportation lane. You use this indicator to control whether or not to create stock in transit at the SAP APO customer location during a goods issue for a VMI delivery.
  • You use report RLOADVMI in SAP R/3 to initially transfer the stock in transit from SAP R/3 to SAP APO.
  • You can use the BAPI_SLSRVAPS_CREATEINTRANS BAPI to edit the stock in transit yourself.

You can activate extended scheduling for VMI orders in Customizing (see: Effects on Customizing). Extended scheduling is used to schedule VMI sales orders in the SAP APO system. The dates and times scheduled in SAP APO are adopted by the SAP R/3 system.

You can create and modify the following scheduling master data in SAP APO:

  • Source location: Shipping calendar
  • Destination location: Receiving calendar
  • Location product at source location: Goods issue processing time, pick/pack time, transportation lead time
  • Location product at destination location: Goods receipt processing time
  • Means of transport at transportation lane: Transportation calendar, transport duration

You can create an integration model in SAP R/3 for scheduling VMI orders. This means that, when a VMI sales order is changed or created in SAP R/3, scheduling can be performed in SAP APO based on the above master data. If an ATP check is executed in SAP APO, the integration model for scheduling is not required.

You need a sales area to create a VMI sales order in SAP R/3. You can assign a sold-to party and plant to a sales area in Customizing for the SAP APO Core Interface (CIF) in SAP R/3 (see: Effects on Customizing). This cancels out the need to enter a sales area in the customer location master. In addition to maintaining the sales area in CIF Customizing, you can also maintain the order category for the VMI sales order when it is created in SAP R/3.

In Customizing, you can make the settings for creating a purchase order number in the VMI sales orders (see: Effects on Customizing).

You can maintain extended forecast consumption for VMI in the additional VMI fields of the customer location in SAP APO. This forecast consumption is a consumption between the forecast at the customer location and the sales orders received by the VMI customer from his or her customers. You can store these VMI customer sales orders in the 9ATSSALES key figure. If the Extended Forecast Consumption field is blank or zero, the requirement is the maximum from the forecast and sales order. If the field has the value '1', the system applies the usual SAP APO forecast consumption.

You can use the SAP Exchange Infrastructure to also transfer the VMI customer's product activity data in XML format. The system provides the ProductActivityReportNotification message for this.

You can make the XML poduct activity message settings in Customizing (see: Effects on Customizing).

  • CIF Compare/Reconcile function
    You can now use the /SAPAPO/CIF_DELTAREPORT3 report to delete VMI sales orders (with errors) that cannot be transferred to SAP R/3.
  • Number Assignment for SNP Orders
    You can assign an internal APO number for SNP orders (see: Effects on Customizing).
