SMI Monitor (Enhanced)
Use
Renaming of the Inventory Monitor as the SMI Monitor
In SAP SCM 5.0, the Inventory Monitor was renamed as the SMI Monitor. This renaming was necessary to distinguish this monitor, which supports the business scenario Supplier Managed Inventory (SMI), from a new related monitor for the business scenario Supply Network Inventory (SNI). (The SNI monitor also monitors the demand/stock situation). All views in the SMI monitor were renamed accordingly (for example, Inventory Details as SMI Details.) You now call the report for generating inventory alerts for the SMI scenario from the SAP Easy Access screen for Supply Chain Management under Inventory Collaboration -> Supplier Collaboration -> Alerts -> Generate Inventory Alerts for SMI (previously Generate Inventory Alerts).
Multisourcing
Multisourcing means that a customer procures a product for his or her customer location from multiple ship-from locations. In SAP SCM 4.1, the ship-from locations had to belong to the same supplier. As of SAP SCM 5.0, ship-from locations can also belong to different suppliers. For this multisourcing variant, the SMI monitor must consider demands, stock, and receipts at the supplier-customer location-product level or at the ship-from location-customer location -product level. In SAP SCM 5.0, the SMI monitor was enhanced as follows:
- The SMI monitor processes demands, stock, and receipts at the supplier-customer location-product level.
- In the case of multisourcing, the report RSMIPROACT determines inventory assigned to a supplier in the SAP back-end system. The report distributes demands with quota arrangement to the suppliers.
- The customer can maintain the SMI location product settings depending on the supplier (such as minimum stock level, maximum stock level, and days supply) in the Web UI of SAP ICH.
Renaming of Ship-To Location as Customer Location
In SAP SCM 4.1, there was only a ship-to location in the Web UI of supplier collaboration. This is the location to which the supplier delivers the product. In SAP SCM 5.0, the customer location was introduced to support scenarios in which the location that orders the product and the location that receives the product differ. The customer location is the location that orders the product. In SMI scenarios, the customer location and the ship-to location are identical. However, to be consistent with other SAP ICH applications, the Ship-to Location in the SMI monitor was renamed as the Customer Location .
Scenario Control
As of SCM 5.0, you can use scenario control to define the products that the SMI monitor displays, and the location products for which SAP ICH generates alerts in the SMI scenario. If you want to restrict products and alerts using scenario control, you use the following IMG activities:
- Define Scenario Control Key
- BAdI: Selection
You can also use scenario control for other applications in addition to the SMI Monitor. For more information, see the IMG under Define Scenario Control Key and in the SAP Inventory Collaboration Hub (SAP ICH) component of the SAP Library under Scenario Control.
