Creation of Transportation lanes during CIF of scheduling agreements.

Hi,
   Could anyone please let me know the place(CIF Code) where transportation lanes are created during CIF process of scheduling agreements from R/3 to APO system. This scheduling agreements will be created in R/3 and will CIFed to APO(SPP).
  I need to enhance the process where Transportation lanes are created when scheduling agreements are CIFed from R/3 to APO system. The enhancement will be adding a custom planned delivery time value to Means of transport(MOT) of the transportation lane.
I tried debugging the CIF but in vain.
Thanks in advance.

What is the Purchasing Document used - Purchasing Info Records or Contracts? You can CIF any of these to APO to create Procurement Relationships which in turn automatically creates Transportation Lane. You have to assign Means of Transport manually though. Note - T Lanes created with reference to Contract are however not used by SNP for source determination.
The other option is Special Procurement Key - if assigned in Material Master will automatically create TLane in APO when Materials are CIFed. Downside of that process is no control on TLane Validity Date and / or other Planning Parameters like Lot Size / PDT.
As for creation of T Lane based on Source List - SAP Help mentions it can be used but have not seen in any live project so cannot comment.
Hope this helps.

  • Automatic creation of transportation lanes betwen intercompany plants

    Hello Experts,
      I need to create transportation lanes automatically through integration model between two intercompany plants. The relation between these two plants are of vendor--> customer in ECC and the documents used are of sales / PO type. Source list is availalbe for the purchasing plant. Is it possible to create transportation lane using source list? If this requires an enhancement, which BAdI is applicable?

  • Automatic creation of transportation lane between two Plants or location

    Hi,
    I am aware that when we cif Inforecords from R/3 to APO new transportation lanes automatically gets created between the Plant and Vendor.
    The isssue which i am facing is that i want transportation lanes to be created between two plants . The TL should be created automatically. I could find the below details from sap help.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm41/helpdata/EN/3e/dfaf376ed96c21e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
    Transportation Lanes with Reference to R/3 Material Master Record
    Storing a special procurement type with procurement type F: External Procurement and special procurement U: Stock Transfer (in the MRP 2 view of the R/3 material master record), means that the material has to be procured externally from another plant (supplying plant) or transferred from another plant.
    To also be able to perform stock transfers for this material in the SAP APO system, there has to be a transportation lane from the supplying plant to the receiving plant. If you have transferred a material with this special procurement type from the SAP R/3 system, the SAP APO system automatically creates a corresponding transportation lane from the supplying plant to the receiving plant for the supplying plant (from the special procurement type) and material/plant combination. The transportation lane is given the creation indicator u201CSu201D for special procurement.
    I am not able to make sense of special procurement U: Stock Transfer (in the MRP 2 view of the R/3 material master record),
    Is this Special procurement some sort of customization as i could not find U: Stock Transfer  in my implementation.
    Please help me understand this. What exactly should i do to create TL between Plants automaticcaly through Cif.

    You need to define setting in IMG for this from source to Target location.
    Follow this path :
    Production->Material Requirements ->Master Data->Define Special Procurement Type
    example :
    Plant      1004
    SP type    40   Stock transfer (proc.from alter.plant)
    Procurement type     F    External procurement
    Special procurement  U    Stock transfer
    Plant                1039

  • Problem during grn for scheduling agreement

    Dear Pals,
                    I have done scheduling agreement with doc.type LP. I have maintained schedule lines also. While doing GRN for that, it is throwing an error
                                 " PU ordered quntity exceeded by 300 ea: 3000000200 "
    How could i resolve this...
    Prasath

    Hi,
    How you had maintained schedule lines...month wise/week wise/ day wise.
    If suppose you maintained month wise like 11/2008 --- 300 qty and you are making GR in 12/2008 then system will allow but if you are making GR before the schedule line date/period then system will give you the above error.
    Please check your dates in schedule lines and GR date. Gr date must be on schedule line date or after the schedule line date.
    Please provide the dates maintained in schedule and GR date.

  • Scheduling Agreements and Purchase Contracts in SAP APO

    Hi
    We are currently working on a SCM 5.0 trialbox  and we  don't have access to any R/3 environment.
    Is it possible to create Scheduling Agreements/Purchase Contracts in APO ? If not then is there any way to upload the data using a flat file ?
    Best Regards
    Mitesh

    Hi Mitesh,
    You cannot create Contracts, Purchasing Inforecords and Scheduling Agreements in APO since these are all R/3 Master Data objects. These when CIFed to APO will create External Procurement Relationships of different types 1, 2 and 3.
    Moreover automatically Transportation Lanes will get created corresponding to these Procurement Relationships. In APO the relevant master data is Transportation Lanes and not the Scheduling Agreements/ Purchase Inforecords / Contracts.
    Hope this clarifies.
    Thanks,

  • Automatic Creation of multiple Transportation Lanes

    Hi all.
    Is it possible to avoid following standard behaviour:
    Change of Supplying Plant in the Special Procurement Type
    If you have changed the supplying plant in the special procurement type in the ERP system, the SCM system creates a new transportation lane for the new combination of supplying plant (from special procurement type) and material/plant. The already existing transportation lane and the now invalid combination of supplying plant and plant in the ERP system is locked for orders in the SAP APO system. This can be seen from the lock indicator X that is set by the system.
    Automatic Creation of Transportation Lanes - Transportation Lane - SAP Library
    Our need for some SKU is to create automatically two T-Lanes. Considering user exit EXIT_SAPLCMAT_001, we added a new line on CT_CIF_MATLOC (and relative CT_CIF_MATLOCX) with different SUPPLPLANT, but the system obviously blocks (SPRKZ) the SKU on one of the two T-Lane.
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    Hi Mauro,
    In my opinion you have to create a program to delete the lock indicator. First you have to extract the information from tr.lanes, then change (delete X indicator) and save. This job should be scheduled before heuristic run.
    To extract data from tr.lanes you can use BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_GETLIST2. To change and save you can use BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2.
    Hope that can help you!
    Thanks.

  • CMI and Transportation Lane

    Hi Gurus,
    We are working on VMI scenario. We need to create Transportation Lane between our DC to each customer location and assign products to each location. We mantain CMI (Customer material Inforecord) in R/3 which has delivery plant/Shipping plant for each material/Customer combination.  
    The question is can we create TL based on CMI record using  standard CIF?
    Thanks,
    Niranjan

    HI NIranjan
                  i dont think its possible to CIF customer material info record to create T lane. I was just going thru help documents and came thru creation of talens for customers by ciffing sales scheduling agreements      
    Check the link below if its of some use to you.

  • How to block CIFed Transportation lane from ECC to APO

    Dear all,
    I want to know if there is any way to stop automatic creation of Transportation lane in APO when material master records, with  procurement type F: External Procurement and special procurement U, are registered or modified in ECC.
    Although only APO-DP is implemented in our project, which does not require the transportation lanes at all, we have to delete not only a product location master record but also collesponding product specific transportation lane when the product is no longer available for demand planning. 
    The integration model includes only material master records, not other TL-related data such as Pur. info.
    I've tried to find any configurations or EXITs stuff which satisfy the requirement above, but couldn't find it...
    I would appreciate any information on this.
    Thanks in advance.

    I think this is created part of the Product Integration Model and is controlled via the Product Inbound User Exit - APOCF005.
    There is no User Exit for Transportation Lanes.
    In this User Exit ... there is a Structure /sapapo/matloc which I think contains the Procurement Type (BESKZ) and instead of the Spl. Procurement Key it contains the Supplying Plant (SUPPLPLANT),  Procurement Category (SUPPLTYPE).
    It's got to be the fields in the MATLOC Structure.
    Could be the MATLOCX Structure too ... I could not see any, so I think the above 2 fields should do it.
    Try Coding in this UserExit to make the SUPPLPLANT and SUPPLTYPE field as Blank via ABAP Code.  Do  not touch the BESKZ field as that is needed in APO. This should do it ...when you activate the Model the Inbound Processing.
    Hope this helps.  Reward Points if you do.

  • Transportation lane for special procurement key is flagged for deletion

    we are on SCM 7.0 and ECC 5.0 and transportation lane records are automatically created for items with special procurement keys (SPK). When we change an SPK, the old record is automatically being locked and flagged for deletion. This is causing planned orders in the old lane to not be replanned. it is therefore incorrectly indicating that a requiremnt is being met by the old planned receipt.
    The documentation indicates that the lane should be locked (not locked and flagged for deletion). When it is locked, the orders are deleted and replanned in the new lane as expected.  Can someone tell me if the correct behavior is for it to just be locked or to set to flagged for deletion? if it is supposed to be flagged for deletion, how do we delete the planned orders in the old lane without switching the record back to locked only?

    Change of Supplying Plant in the Special Procurement Type
    In the SAP R/3 system, if you have changed the supplying plant in the special procurement type, the SAP APO system creates a new transportation lane for the new supplying plant (from special procurement type) and material/plant combination. The already existing transportation lane and now invalid combination between supplying plant and receiving plant in the R/3 system is locked for orders in the SAP APO system. This can be recognized by the lock indicator X that is set by the system.
    Removal of Special Procurement Type from the Material Master Record
    If you have removed the special procurement type from the material master record in the SAP R/3 system, the SAP APO system locks the already created transportation lane so that it cannot be used in orders.
    Hope it helps in this matter.

  • Scheduling agreement creation against Sales Order

    Hi All,
    Can we create a Scheduling agreement automatically against a Sales order in Standard SAP? Whenever Sales order is generated, system will be creating a Scheduling agreement automatically in the background for further processing -- is the requirement.
    Or if there is any user exit available please let me know.
    Satisfactory answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks & regards,
    Indrashish

    Hi
    This requirement can be handled with user exit.This can be done by developing customized program.For customized program you need to define a variant for back ground job scheduling or u can use a exit to trigger the customized program.
    you have to pass the details like Materials,Quantity,Delivery schedules from sales order top scheduling agreement creation program.
    Normally, we will use scheduling agreement to generate automatic schedule linesby running MRP for Sales orders or Planned independent requirements.I think u can use this std functionality to map your requirements.

  • Valuation Price error in Scheduling Agreement

    Hello Experts,
    I am getting inflated valuation while doing MIGO for delivery schedule.
    It always comes as more than price of material in scheduling agreement and varies from 1.5 times to 4 times.
    Example
    Material Moving Average price: 3
    stock : 0
    Purchase price: 3.05
    QTY RECEIVED 100
    Value of goods at the time of MIGO has 4.27 price
    I can give few more data
    Pr. Date Cat: 5
    Condition type is not group condition
    Moving average price changes to 4.27.
    This moving average price comes down to 3.05 once I do MIRO. But my , point is, why we getting inflated valuation at the time of GR.
    Please let me know if anybody has come across such issue

  • Issue in Calculation schema determination for Scheduling Agreements

    Dear All,
      I am facing an issue in Calculation schema determination for Scheduling Agreements. The issue is -
    "Appropriate calculation schema is not being determined when a scheduling agreement is being created"
    The required settings which have been maintained are - The Calculation Schema (ZEIC31) has been created, Vendor Schema group has been created, Purchasing Organisation Schema group has been created, They both have been assigned to the Calculation schema in Schema determination, The Vendor Schema group has been assigned to the Vendor Master Record in master data creation.
    When I am creating the scheduling agreement, the system is by default choosing the calculation schema - RM0002. Thus I am not able to put the manual condition types which have been assigned in the calculation schema - ZEIC31.
    1> On what logic is the system picking that calculation schema?
    2> What settings can I do to make it pick that calculation schema only which has been assigned with POrg Sch Gp and Ve Sch Gp?
    Regards,
    Sudhanshu

    1> On what logic is the system picking that calculation schema?
    As per "Define Schema Determination" in spro Purchasing document should pick the Pricing Procedure .
    After creation of scheduling agreement have chacked your values in Scheduling agreement (Purchase ORG ,Schema grp in Vendor)
    2> What settings can I do to make it pick that calculation schema only which has been assigned with POrg Sch Gp and Ve Sch Gp?
    Check in Vendor mater is there any Plant specific Purcahsing data maintained.If it is plant specific Check purchasing data for that Plant.

  • CIF Transportation Lanes from R/3 to APO

    Currently, we are creating transportation lanes in APO via BAPI calls from R/3.     We have been lead to believe that transportation lanes can be CIF'ed over to APO.
    We are only executing GATP in APO.    We currently do not use DP, SNP, PP/DS, TP/VS, etc.
    I have seen several OSS notes that allows additional fields to be added to the CIF screen (tx = CFM1) but these fields would be more for filtering data.
    We just upgraded our APO system from 3.1 to 5.0.    The CFM1 screen stayed the same in SCM 5.0.     Could it be possible that we don't have an updated CFM1 screen with the option of CIF'ing transportaion lanes??
    Any information on this would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    As you in your requirement only describe gATP, I am a bit unsure why you need the transportation lanes? There are some different ways to handle the scheduling part in gATP and you should look into this before making any decisions regarding this. Normally you can ake use of transportation zones in APO to give a goiod level of detail vs maintenance for transportation lead time scheduling. gATP also allows for usage of condition technique and, as of 5.0, a new general procudure process scheduling from which I have no experience. I can see benefitds with transportation zones and scheduling, and in this scenario it would be possoble to make use of some data (customers) that can be CIFed and grouped. But as said there are several options, please specify your requirments to see if I can support further.

  • Configurations needed for Transportation Lane

    Hi Gurus,
    Good Day! I would like to know what are the needed configuration in R/3 and APO so transportation lane are automatically created in R/3 once Scheduling Agreement or Inforecord is CIF in APO.
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Raymond

    Hi Raymond,
    No Specific Configuration is required. Following are the steps required to CIF Scheduling Agreement or Inforecord to APO as TLanes.
    1. Activate integration model for recieving location and issuing location or vendor for which you want to CIF the Sched. Agreement or Inforecord.
    2. Activate Product-Location Integration model with the material required for Inforecord or Sched. Agreement.
    3. You need to activate the Integration model with valid IR and Sched. Agreement.
    The same will be CIFed to APO as external Procurement relationship/TLane. You need to assign Means of Transport if not otherwise assigned.
    Hope this answers your query.
    Regards,

  • Trans duration not consider during Preq forward scheduling

    Sales order is created with Make-to-order configurable material
    Variant. During the planning process, the raw material is issued from
    one facility to the facility specified on the sales order using STO
    process.
    During CTP process (backward & reverse strategy setting,), while doing
    the backward scheduling, system considers the transport duration from
    the transportation lane and calculates the correct requested date for
    the raw material.
    If there is no capacity available to make the raw material on the
    requested date system is expected to carry out forward scheduling. The
    system then updates the planned order that consumes raw material correctly.
    While updating the Preq the system does not consider the transport
    duration from the transportation lane. The availability date on PurRqs
    and the requested date on the PReqRel is same.
    Has anybody seen this issue?
    Kedar

    Guys,
    We found that the transportation time is considered in forward scheduling of a PReq when we have a transportation resource. But it is not considered when we have GR/GI time in product master or in Tlane(only the GR).
    Has anybody gone through this issue?
