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.

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

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?
Regards,
Raghavendra

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.

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.

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?

Hello,
Please follow on the SAP Help library:

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.
The best regards,
Michel Bohn

Automatic creation of PR after MRP run

Hi,
can anyone please tell me what all fields are picked up in a Purchase Requisition(PR) in the scenario of automatic creation of PR after MRP run.
If we are using more than 1 PR type in the system how is it determined during the MRP run that the PR will be created for which type.I understand that source list will have to be created and maintained but how is the PR type determined
Thanks in advance

In PR the system checks for the material and vendor. See the steps below.
Step1:Auto PO tick in material master Purchasing view (mandatory)
Step2:Auto PO tick in vendor master Purchasing view
Step3:Maintain Source list for vendor and material (If u r not using source list for auto PO creation, the assign the Source of supply to a PR in ME56)
Step4:Maintain Pur. Inforecord
Step5:ME59n : execute for PR and Vendor In ME59n, you can also select the PR document type. If you want to select different document types, go for multiple entries and enter the doc types.
When u execute, the system will give the appropriate PRs. Select the required and convert to PO.
But through MRP you cannot create PO directly only Planned orders can be created.
Reward if helpful..
Thanks,

Automatic creation of new tax classification

Hi
Help needed in understanding......
Automatic creation of tax classification in taxes in billing tab of customer master , after creation of a sales depot in a different country
thanks
Anil

Unless you use jurisdiction codes, and no external tax system, for
example with tax procedure TAXUSJ, there is no validity dates for the
condition records. You can see this differnce by comparing the tables
A003 without jurisdiction codes and A053 with jurisdiction codes. A053
contains the extra fields DATBI (key field) and DATAB. This is the
standard functionality.
Please have a look at the following part of note 418582:
" Changing past percentage rates has to be inhibited in order to avoid
database inconsistencies. For this reason, the functions which allow you
to transport time-dependent tax codes with percentage rates from the
past are not supported."

Stop Automatic Creation of Inspection Lot for a condition

Dear Gurus,
While Creating a Delivery through a Sales Order, Config is maintained such that "Inspection Lot" will be automatically Generated.
Now Business wants to Stop this Automatic Creation of Inspection Lot only for a Particular Delivery Type and for a particular mode of Transport.
Do we have any User Exits / BADIs to achieve this requirement.
Please let us know.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vinay Mutt

Hi
To meet you above mentioned requirement you have to modify the program RQAAAS10 as per your logic both to create lot for Expired Material and to consider project stock or vendor stock as In standard SAP these stock are not considered.

Creation of multiple inspection points

Hello experts,
I try to figure out how to create multiple inspection points for one operation at process order release.
It means that the release of the process order triggers:
- inspection lot creation (lot origin 03)
- inspection points creation for operation with inspection characteristics assigned to it
In the recipe header, I entered inspection points = 150 - generated inspection point, qty or time
(module function QAPP_CUST_IP_CREATE is activated for "automatic creation of insp. points")
In the operation header, I select time related -and enter 1 HR
However no inspection point is created at process order release. Only inspection point identifier is created automatically when I select the next inspection point in TR QE51N.
Do you have any tips on the subject ?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Amaury

Dear Amuary
Doubt if there is any solution in standard. Use exit so that thr first 3 inspection points gets activated quickly. Try these exits
QAPP0001
User exit QAPP 1 (create inspection point)
| QAPP0002 |User exit QAPP 2 (create inspection point & other data)

Transportation Lanes

Hi,
Can someone explain me how the demand flow from one location to other location in SNP.
I mean i have
Location A - Subcontractor Location.
Location B - Production Location
Location C- DC.
I have maintained transportation lane between B & C.
I have loaded my planning book at location C. When i enter some values in Dis.Receipt KF for the part number at location C, The system automatically creates a Purchase Requisition at Location B.The procurement type defined in the Product Master at location C is F.But how the system raise the Purchase Requisition to Location B ? I have not maintained Quota arrangement too.
Does transportation lane which is maintained between B&C plays the role here to flow the demand from B&C ?
Or Apart from Transportation lanes is some other factor responsible for this ?
Please explain.
Regards
BVN

Hi
It's correct
Since u maintained transportation lane between B&C as start location as B and destination location as C. So whenever there is a demand in plant c, it will generate a PR in plant B. Procurement process or production process should happen in Plant B.
Pls check yr tranportation lane for the same.
Hope you are clear now

Vijay

Validation of PO / Transportations lane

Hi
My question is,
is it possible to validate the PO and the validity of the transportations lane, not by the delivery date of the PO
but validate the creation day instead, a lot of our purchased product have a lead time of more than ½ year, so it is more or less impossible to keep the info rec up todate and therefore also have a valid TP lane
please advise
Best regards
Jakob Bang

Hi,
My suggestion is create Z-validation check say "ZT_PROD"
Path:SPRO>Supply Network Collaboration>Basic Settings>Validation>Own Settings-->Maintain Settings in Validation Profiles
Val.prf=P0C1
Validation check=ZT_PROD
Check status=Active
save this setting.
and implement the Badi /SCMB/BOL_VALFRMWRK.with your logic of half year lead time.

Nikhil

How to delete Product Specific Transportation Lanes?

I'm trying to delete a product specific transportation lane (like you would do in /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1)
but can't find an appropriate BAPI to help me do this. I see BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_DELMULTI but that seems to delete the entire Transportation Lane instead of a specific product's lane.
I've tried using BDC with /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1 but don't think it'll work since it's an ALV and I'll be running in background.
Anyone encountered this before?
thanks!

Transportation Lanes Deletion

We have a transportation lane established between 2 DCs. Now there is a change in supplying DC and a new DC will be supplying these products.
I am attempting deletion of existing transportation lanes. The end gaol is to establish a new transportation lane and have SNP pick that automatically instead of the existing lane.
I deleted all orders using RLCDELETE. However I am still getting an error message while deleting existing transportation lane that says "Orders Still Exist".
I was wondering if there any utility that shows the orders on that transportaion lane.

I guess there are some livecache order exist in the system for those TL.
Please check with tcode WUF and try to delete them by /SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL
/SAPAPO/DELETE_PP_ORDER
and let us know if you are not able to delete it by above report with order details.
