APO product allocation and customer hierarchy groups

Hi,
we have customer hierarchy groups. In the future we want to use product allocation in APO.
The values of the customer hierarchy groups will be changed often.
How can we map the customer hierarchy group to a product allocation group?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Not sure it is the only way but you can try the following,
1. maintain the field catalogue and the product allocation group in APO
SPRO
Advanced Planning and Optimization
> Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP)
> Product Allocation
2. Maintain the planning area accordingly
(+ the connection to the PA - still in SPRO...)
Now start the real thing:
3. pass the customer hierachy to the sales order in R/3
You can use exit: MV45AFZZ u2013 form USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK
4. Pass the information to APO
A new exit: FV45VFZY form USEREXIT_CATALOG_VALU - Adding to the APO field Catalogue
Now you mentioned frequent hierarchy changes... that I don't know how to handle. When you change the hierarchy how do you want the consumption to happen? I guess the new sales order should consume the new hierarchy, but what about the old assignment?
If somebody know ho the system handle that, that would be great!
Thanks and Regards

Global ATP with product allocations and SD returns

Dear all,
We have been setting up an implementation scenario with an ECC 6.0 and SCM 5.0 system which verifies SD orders versus SCM product allocations.
With SD orders and SD contracts everything works fine. But we have a problem with using SD returns (same material and plant used like the SD orders): We would expect the system also to check the returns for product allocation quantities but it seems that the SCM availability check does not enter the product allocation procedure at all (we have some user-exits in use but these are only accessed when we go via SD orders, no access at all for SD returns).
Is there any special setting which we have to activate in order to have the SD returns properly processed with product allocations? (Customizing "Set the Transfer of Returns to SAP APO" within ECC is activated) The system somewhere gets stuck during the check within the SCM system.
Thanks for providing assistance regarding this matter.
Kind regards,
Klemens

Hi folks, did you resolve your issue here? I assume what you are wanting is for the Returns order to free up allocations qtys that had previously been consumed by the originating sales order, that is, incoming orders qty should be reduced by the amount of the returns order. I know that when a sales order line item is rejected the incoming order qty is reduced, but I'm not sure it is possible for a returns order to do this.
ATP Man, are you saying that as category BZ is not supported by Allocations that it is therefore not possible for the Incoming Orders Qty to be reduced by a Returns Order? I have a business reequirement to do exactly that.
If it is not possible to do this through the automatically via the ATP check, the only way I can think to address this, would be to try and transfer the Returns qty to SCM after the order is saved and then to have a macro that reads the returns qty and reduces the Incoming Orders qty by the qty of the return.

Customer Groups and Customer Credit Groups

Hello
I was going through the documentation for Credit Management, but I was confused on what the difference was between customer groups and customer CREDIT Groups.. both of them sort of have the same definition, then what is the difference ?
Please help me out.
Regards,

Hi Raj,
For your info :
The credit group groups together different business transactions which should be dealt with in the same manner with regard to the credit check.
You enter the credit groups when you configure the sales document types for credit management and define the automatic credit check.
Default settings
The following credit groups are contained in the standard SAP R/3 System:
01 = credit group for sales order
02 = credit group for delivery
03 = credit group for goods issue
Actions
1. Check whether you can use the credit groups in the standard system.
2. If you need to create new credit groups, enter an alphanumeric key with two characters and a descripion for the credit group.
A customer group tells to which a customer can belongs to.
You specify the customer group for sales data in the customer master record for each sales area.
The SAP System copies this specification automatically into the sales documents at header and item level. Here, you will find the customer group on the detail screen for general business data.
Actions
1. Specify an alphanumeric key which can have up to 2 characters and a description for the customer groups.
2. Make sure that the customer groups are entered in the customer master records.
Hope it helps. Pl reward if useful.

Product type and customer details in project

Hi
We are developing a report on the project cost and one of the information in the output should be
Customer ..... Product type .....project defn.... Activity start date end date
My problem is to identify the product type .
The only way i know is to select superior WBSE - setllement rule - select actual settlement- profit segment- open the screen and identify the product type and customer -
All these are sitting in a structure CE00211. Not able to identify in which table i can get it.
Any kind of input is welcome/valuable

Product description and Customer ship description to should be visible in R

Currently we are able to see the Customer ship to number and Product number in SNC Responsive Replenishment (RR) screen. We want to have Customer Ship description and Product description in addition to Customer ship to number and Product number to be displayed on Responsive replenishment screen.
Current display of RR screen in SNC:
In this we can see the 7529000 and 23100.
The Product description and Customer ship description to should be visible in RR screen.
Product 7329000: Brass coil
Customer ship to 23100: Evershine company

Hi Vaibhav
we have faced similar problem in case of SNI monitors where SNC does not provide the product or location description and our users used to remember those things by their description. Std. SNC does not provides descriptions on SNI monitor and I think its the same case with RR monitors also.
SAP suggest us that time is that they will try to include this thing in next releases. Other option remains for use is to go for the customization.
Hope this will help you.

Allocations at customer Hierarchy level

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement from client to allocate stock of restricted products at customer hierarchy level. For example: Material ABC is a restricted product and there are 500 CV available in the plant, Client would like to allocate 100 CV to customer-1, 200 CV to customer-2 and 200 CV to customer-3.
Also Material ABC can be allocated to one of the nodes of customer hierarchy and automatically this stock should be available to all the customers with in that hierarchy to consume. If there is a chain customer like SAMS, stock is assigned to highest node of SAMS at state level and this stock should be available for all SAMS clubs with in the state to consume.
I am using Quotations to reserve stock at customer level. The problem is with allocating stock at customer hierarchy level. Please suggest me some solutions to achieve this requirement.
Thank You in advance,
Samatha.

Can I use the fields Product allocation and Basic material for bifurcation of material

Dear Users,
We have a requirement for bifurcation of material so we need two field in material master for fulfilling the requirement. First requirement is material category like insurance or revenue etc., second requirement is department wise like electrical, maintenance etc, so i have choosen the fields 'Product allocation' in basic data 1 screen in material master for fulfilling department requirement and then in basic data 2 i have choosen 'Basic Material' field for fulfilling material category requirement. My doubt is whether this change will effect the reports and i need to know the effects of such changes.
Thanks,
Manoj

As you are trying to use the standard fields, so you can read the F1 help for these fields.
Also check in which table and program, the fields are used.
Read the F1 help and find the table and program by using this document How to find Table name for a Field which is shown structure name on press F1.
After reading this, If these fields are suitable for your requirement, then you can continue.

Contracts and Customer hierarchy

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement - where my client has a customer who is globally located .....every year the global customer gives a contract to my client and asks to ship the material across his offices located globally...say one office in UK,one in US,one in Australia....sometimes the order may come from the customer from US/UK ....referring the same contract.
And every time a slaes order is created based on the ordereafrom the customers across the world the qty has to get decreased from the same contract.
Shall i need to have a customer hierarchy and in that case can i refer to the same contract........or do i need to create a on single contract on the main customer and add the reamining customers as partner functions .......i am not sure how to go on with this ....please help me out
Cheers
Ivy

Hi Ivy.
In this scenario, there has to be a customer hierarchy, as the highest level of customer will be as parent customer and lower levels will be child customer. As you may need it in credit control also.
For contracts lets wait for other consultants to answer, as i am not sure of it.

Issue with Product Allocation Scenario

I am Trying out Product Allocation in APO (SCM 5.0).
Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.
Now trying to carry out the Product Allocation check by creating a Sales Order in ECC. In that case during the material availability check screen in APO, the product allocation does not show up.
I believe it is related to master data settings for the product in ECC. My questions are as follows:
1. In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO). There in MRP3 tab Strategy Group is maintained. Is this along with Availability Check field responsible for determining the check instruction (combination of check mode + business event) in APO for the Product Allocation check.
2. If so (which I guess it is) I can see the check instruction picked up in APO while creation of sales order in ECC is different from the check instruction I ran simulation with. How can I ensure the same check instruction is chosen (in which case I believe the availability check result will be same as the ATP Simulation carried out in APO).
3. In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master). In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.
4. Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.
I guess some of the questions is a bit hazy but I would appreciate if someone can outline the Product Allocation Scenario. I am trying out based on Building Block S59 Demand Planning for Product Allocation but of course it does not detail out enough.
Disclaimer: My knowledge of GATP is almost nil but am exploring.
Thanks,
Somnath

Hi Somnath,
It will be a pleasure to help you out.
Firstly I will list out all the steps which I can think of:
(1) R3-You have moved all the ATP customizing from R3 to APO via ATP integration model.
(2) APO- goto SPRO>APO>GATP>General Settings>Maintain Check Instructions
Here go to Check Mode- 041 and Business Event- A and maintain the following settings manually in development and migrate it all the way to Production
I am assuming here that you want to first do an allocation check and then availability check**
Product Allocation: Change from NO CHECK to First Check
Product Check: Change from First Check to Second Check
This check mode and business event is the most common one which is triggered while placing a sales order
See the following blog for DETERMINATION OF CHECK MODE
http://solution-timezone-issue.blogspot.com/
There might be other check modes( 030, 050) which might also require this change. However you can judge that while placing a sales order and when you go to the availability screen, You have the tab - SCOPE OF CHECK CONTROL where you can see the Check Mode + Business Event
Following guidelines can be used to modify Check Instrctions after Customizing Import from R/3
1. Business Event A* is Sales Order Entry (The main scope of GATP) so define check instructions for all check modes since it is not possible to identify the requirement class that may come over on an order. For Business Event A* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
2. Business Event B* is normally for deliveries but is also required for Rush Sales Orders. An R/3 configuration showed that 041 is the only requirement class that will come across for this business event. Hence defined only for 041 check mode. For Business Event B* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
3. Business Event 03 required for Inventory Transaction availability check such as MB1C. For such transactions, the APO Product Master Check Mode is used. Hence check instructions for all Check Modes are maintained. For Business Event 03 if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Availability check as first step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability checks.
(3) Maintain the Product Alllocation Procedure:
a- Create a Product Alloc Object -- Example: PAO-001
In this step, we define the product allocations objects - product allocations are saved per object for a characteristics combination in the product allocation group.
Product Allocation Procedures can be used to maintain different Product Allocation Objects for different time validity periods.
Generally Product Allocation Objects are used to model the different reasons for the need for allocation material shortage, capacity constraint, etc.
b- Product Alloc Group--PAO-1234
A product allocation group defines a group of characteristics against which allocation checking is done.
 Creating a Product Allocation Group creates a characteristics directory in the APO database and an area in Live Cache where the key figures are maintained.
 If Check Planning Area is set to No then allocation and incoming order quantitiy data can be seen in table /SAPAPO/QTTAB. If the Check Planning Area is set to Yes then no data is stored in this table and the allocation check is done directly against the data in the Planning area.
 Detials of allocationconsumption by sales orders are maintained in table /SAPAPO/QTVB in APO and in QTVB in R/3.
If Check Planning Area is set to Yes and if there are users are in the change mode in the Planning Book, Sales Order Entry can get locked out.
If Check Planning Area is initially set to yes and then deactivated later you will no longer see data in /SAPAPO/AC42.
Settings:
Check Planning Area Yes. The reason being that users are not expected to lock planning books as they would be defaulted into the display mode (through a development object). Also most allocation uploads will be through batch jobs. Setting it to Yes reduces one step of moving data between the planning area and the allocation group.
Check Date - Material Availability Date. Consumption of allocation quantity and checking of available allocation quantities is determined by the check date.
Time Bucket Profile Week
Characteristics Product Allocation Object (1), Product (2), Plant(3), Customer(4)
Consumption Period Bwd Consumption 1
Meaning that first the order will consume from current week allocation and then go 1 week backward to consume.
c- Product Allocation Procedure --- PAO-4567
Step Sequence:
Step -
Step Name- -
Prod Alloc Group -

Control
Valid from -
Valid to---- -
Object -
Active -
Factor
 12/31/2037 PAO-001 Check the Box 1
d- Maintain Connection to Planning Area (APO)
In this step, we maintain the assignment of the planning area to the product allocation group. We must make this assignment because characteristics of the product allocation group have different names from the info objects of the planning area.
All characteristics of a product allocation group must be assigned to an info object. But multiple info objects can be assigned to one info object. It is not always necessary to assign every info object to a characteristic. It is possible for aggregation and disaggregation (depending on the direction of transfer) to take place with info objects that are not assigned.
Product Alloc Group -

PAO-1234 xxxxx 000 W

KONOB - Prod Alloc Obj
MATNR --- Material
WERK -
Plant
XXXXX---- Customer
Key Figures
Order Qty - AMENGE
Alloc Qty - KCQTY
e- Check the Product Alloc Settings
This is only a check- Everything should be green and OK .
(4) You have planned the Characteristic Combination on which you want to do ALLOCATION.
Create a new POS- Which has your chracateristics as PRODUCT, PLANT,CUSTOMER, Product Alloc Object ( 9AKONOB)
Planning Area,- Key figures required are Alloc Qty, Order Qty( Sales Order Qty)
PLannig Book, Data View which has the following characteristics- Product, PLant
Assuming you are allocating at the following CVC level- Product, PLant,Customer
Step 1:
/n/sapapo/MC62-Create Time Series- Basicallly your CVCs -
Example: Product 1234, Plant INDIA, CUstomer WALKART
Step 2:
Move Characteristic Values Combination to Allocation Group (APO)
/SAPAPO/ATPQ_PAREA_K
INput :
Planning Area: xxxx
Prod Alloc Group: PAO-1234
(5) In the INtegration MOdel - Activate the ATP CHECK Integration model for the Plant and material
THis is the KEY which decides whether availability should be done in R3 or APO
Material Active in the integration model -- Means Availability( GLOBAL AVAILABILITY: Prod Alloc+Prod Availability) is done in APO
Material not active in the integration model --- Means Availability Check is done in R3
(6) APO MASTER DATA SETTINGS:
Material Master: On the ATP Tab, Assign Loc Dep Procedure ( Prod Alloc Procedure)
Location Master: Calendar Tab> Create a shipping time stream calendar
Additional Info: Please contact your R3-SD people as this involves a lot of understanding and I have not listed all the details here.
This config shown here is a very basic one which not even 25% of the companies might be using.
If you have any questions on this part- please see my business card and email me**
(7) SCHEDULING: This is a major task which determines the route and transit times for calculating the
Material Availability date
Goods Issue Date
Delivery Date
on the sales order line item- schedule line
I dont know whether you need info on this**There are many ways of doing this
a- Configurable Scheduling
b- COndition records
c- User Exit
You can find documentation in SPRO or else let me know*
For simplicity- Let me take the easiest to create and difficult to maintain master data- Condition Records
Step1 --Define Field Catalog for Condition Table (APO)
/SAPCND/AU01
Require Plant and Route defined here in the field catalog
Step 2- Define Condition Table for Scheduling (APO)
/SAPCND/AU03
Create a new table- 901
901 - Pick Time based on Route with key as Route
902- Route Time based on route
Step 3- Maintain Access for Scheduling (APO)
/SAPCND/AU07
Take the important ones- PICK and TRAN
I am assuming again as I dont know what kind of Scheduling is maintained on R3 Side. Mostly 80% companies have only two lead times- Pick and Route Transit time.**
PICK- Select pick and click on accesses > Acno-10-- Table-901
 >> Then save it > and go in again
Select PICK and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as PICK--- Enter the access as 10 and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
TRAN- Select TRAN and click on accesses > Acno-10-- Table-902
 >> Then save it > and go in again
Select TRAN and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as TRAN--- Enter the access as 10 and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
Now coming to maintaining the Condition records in APO EASY ACCESS
/SAPCND/AU11
Create SCheduling Step for PICK : Enter condition type- PICK
Enter Route- USCAN --- Duration -24:00 (Hrs)
Create SCheduling Step for TRAN: Enter condition type- TRAN
Enter Route- USCAN --- Duration -48:00 (Hrs)
Now Let me answer your questions:
(1) Question 1- In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO).
I did not undertsand what you mean here. As we can create a Material at the following locations in APO( Dist Center(DC), Manu Plant(PL), Cusomter, Vendor, etc)
For GATP all we need is the material at a PLant location
STrategy Group on MRP3 tab: This is purely used for determining the CHECK MODE value on APO Product Master.
When this is blank on R3, the check mode will be blank on APO.
However SAP recommends Putting in a strategy group value on R3 Material Master
or
a default Check MOde value for all those Products who have blank check mode- 041 is the best value * This piece SAP hasnt recommended but I found that there is No harm in anyway and it is MANDATORYfor inventory transactions like GOODS ISSUE otherwise you will get a QUEUE in SYSFAIL **
Even if this is blank this has no effect on the GLOBAL ATP as the Check mode for a SD transaction is determined as follows
98% of the SD transactions will generate a CHeck mode of 041 and Business Event- A ***
Through the item category and the MRP type in the MRP view
The item category is derived from the item category group in the Sales view of the material master record and from the order type of the sales document. Together with the MRP type in the MRP view of the material master record, the item category determines what requirements type is selected. The advantage of this method is that the selection of the requirements type depends on the business process (such as quotation, sales order, or repair).
(2) Question 2 - I guess now you must have understood why when you do a simulation in APO, it is taking the Check mode from APO product Master
and when you do a ATP Check from R3, the check mode(041) is different
You dont need to ensure that they are the same- It doesnt matter in anyway.
(3) Question 3- In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master).I
When you run ATP simulation- AC04, you generally run it for the plant as that is the supplying location and not the customer.
In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.
PLease look above for this answer.
(4) Question 4 - Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.
To my best knowledge, whatever I could remember I have listed out. However there are some more steps which might be needed.
Follow all the steps as I have mentioned and whenever you get struck somewhere, shoot me a message and I will help you.
ONe more pointer here to what you have mentioned
Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.
Somnath, I believe you might have a wrong picture here. The concept of allocation is Controlling Supply against huge Demand which is in this case coming from SALES ORDER
When you place a sales order, the supplying location is your plant and that is where you would like to put in allocation quantities
Say for example for a material 12345 - You have stock of 100 Qty in Plant KING fo this week and it shows as follows in the planning book
Customers say are WALKART, GE-FUG, MACROGUN
The CVCs which we have to create are as follows
Similar to Demand PLanning**
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust WALKART-Prod Alloc Obj
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust GE-FUG-Prod Alloc Obj
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust MACROGUN-Prod Alloc Obj
And this is how it appears in the planing book when you go into DETAILS ALL
You basically enter the Allocation Quantities just as how you enter forecast quantities in DP Book*
 Wk1 | WK2 WK3 WK4 WK5
Alloc Qty |
Material 12345 |
Plant KING |
Cust WALKART 50 |
Cust GE-FUG 30 |
Cust MACROGUN 20 |
Incoming Order Qty |
Material 12345 |
Plant KING |
Cust WALKART 50|
Cust GE-FUG 25 |
Cust MACROGUN 20 |
50 : Say the Cust WALKART has ordered 250 for this week, however only the allocated quantity -50 will be confirmed for him and the remaining 200 qty will be confirme at a later week when he is given the allocated amount.
25 :Similarily say this customer GE-FUG has ordered 20 qty. So his remaining allocation is basically 5 which cannot be used by any other customer.
20 : Say this customer MACROGUN has ordered exactly the allocated amount of 20. So his remaining allocation will be 0.
This is the basic idea of how Allocation Concept is used in GATP.
Ofcourse you can add the other functionalities like
Rules Based ATP(LOcation Substitution, Product Substitution)
Multi ATP( BOM-COmponents)
Check Aginst Forecast
Etc Etc
Like any other module of SAP- this module has much to offer which unfortunately I cannot list here**
GOOD LUCK and let me know If you need additional help.

Product Allocation--Can we Have in MC94 Planning for 2 or 3 materials

Hi,Experts ,
As MC94 shows only one column for every Months allocation ,example 07.2009,08.2009.........
then--->
1>can we have 2 or 3 materials and 2 or 3 customers for same Production allocation Procedures
like can we have 0000000000001-Product Allocation procedure same for all materials and same customer groupe like 01 for 3 or more customers .
2> MC94 for Product allocation Planning can we product allocation for 2 or more materials and 2 or more customers for reserving quantities like 03 for product allocation,if yes how?
if ,no then how can we have allocation for different materials say for 6 quantity in MC94.
If I have to book for material A 8 quantity,material 2--9, material --10 quantity for product Allocation and same for customer 1 ,customer 2 then how will i do in MC94,all this in simultaneously though I have assigned the same allocation procedure and allocation object assigned and work out in MC94 at a time for all of these then How do i reserve all of them in single instance for Product allocation.
3>Can we have ordered quantity in sales order as 10 and if in MC94 we have 4 as product allocations then what would be resultant schedule lines 4 or 10.
if confirmed quantity is 10 in sales order then whats use of product allocation of 4 quantity in MC94.
Experts Pls clarify with your contacts and emails.
Thanks

For Point No 3
Can we have ordered quantity in sales order as 10 and if in MC94 we have 4 as product allocations then what would be resultant schedule lines 4 or 10.
if confirmed quantity is 10 in sales order then whats use of product allocation of 4 quantity in MC94.
In in MC94 you have allocated 4 pieces then schedule line will also be of 4 only..And the remaining quantity will be confirmed for next month schedule line in case you have allocated sufficient quantity for next month also in MC94.

Third party order processing with GATP allocations and no CRM

Hi,
Does anyone know how to integrate third party order processing with APO product allocations, or know of some good references? We do not have CRM. We currently have APO 4.0, soon to be upgraded to 5.0 and R3 4.6.
Thanks,
Gigi

Someone must know!
We have a similar requirement. We do have CRM but don't wish to implement it for this purpose.
In the SNP planning boook, we want to be able at the SNP vendor location to see the total requirement for both materials to be delivered to our normal supply chain as well as those directly delivered to customers. The direct delivery sales orders are entered to R3 according to the standard process; the purchase requisitions and PO's for these do not go to SNP. The customer location is set-up in SNP. Is there a way to make the purchase req's and orders visible in the SNP Planning Book???
Many thanks
Chris

Product Allocation S140 Info structure.

Hello Experts,
We have configured the setting related Availability check against Product Allocation.
Everything is fine except for S140 Infostructure. We are using Flexible Plan. The Info structure is getting updated whenever we create an order and the qty is confirmed. How do the other fields gets updated?( Product allocation qty & customer requirements are initial upload by the client. Order qty is getting updated whenever order is created. Other fields Def.division, Open product allocation qty and requirements not covered are not getting updated. formulas have been activated.
How and when the other fields will be updated? Aniticipating your answers.
Thanks In Advance.

Updating Rules in Product Allocation - mc25

Hi Gurus,
I am using 1] Product Allocation, 2] Open Product Allocation and 3] Incoming Quanties in mc25.
For PA, I am using Source field as MCVBEP - ROMS1
For OPA, I am using Source field as MCVBAP - KWMENG
For IQ, I am using Source field as MCVBEP - BMENG
BUt I am not getting the desire result. I need. My client's requirement is OPA + IQ = PA. So how do i make these happen. I have tried many combinations.
Table for Dates and Dates - I am using EDATU , VDATU and EDATU respectively.
Is there any thing different I have to also maintained ?
Please suggest.
rgds..Ameet

Hello Hari
Did you set up updating for the custom infostructure?
To verify updating, try t code MC30 (simulate update). Here you specify the sales order that you created with 3600 pieces and hit enter, In the next screen, check whether that infostructure is updating or not. or you can try Display update log for your user. Both are under 'Update check; in the IMG. see below for the path.
If it is not, then you need to set up this custom infostructure with updating. The general area to do this is:
SPRO/IMG/Logistics - General/Logistics Information System (LIS)/Logistics Data Warehouse/Updating.
Good luck.

GATP Product allocation

Hi Gurus,
Can any one help me setting up product allocation configuration in ECC side ?
Please let me what are steps involved in ECC setting for product allocation and rules based check?
It will be really great help.
Thanks and Regards,

Raj,
Very little needs to be done on the ECC side. By far, most of the work is on the SCM (APO) side. What you will configure depends on your business requirements. I will assume that your company already has an SCM license and there is an SCM instance available for you to use. Here are some SAP Docs to get you started with your GATP check:
You will need the Core interface.
