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.

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

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.

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.

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,

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.

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

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.

Automatic creation of po during goods receipt

Dear all,
po has not been created, but while receiving the material i want automatic generation of po. i have some knowledge about it but it is not working. Can some one send detailed information. with navigation details. Tips that are posted on the sdn is not working.
Regards

Hi
Pl Make sure you have done following settings for the Automatic Creation of PO during GR:
1) In SPRO ---> Enterprise Structure ---> Assignment -
> Material Management ---> Assign Std. Purchase Org. to your Plant...
2) In Material Master -
> Purchasing View -
> Pl. Check. Automatic PO check Box   and Maintain Purchasing Group....
3)Create your Vendor for oyur Company Code and Std. Pur. Org. combination and in that Vendor Master -> Purchasing Data View--- > Pl. Check Auto. PO Check Box...
4)For your Vendor -Material Master - Plant -Std. Pur. Org combination Maintain valid Info record...
5)In OLMB ---> Goods Receipt -
> Automatic Creation of PO ---> for the M.Type:101 pl. check Auto PO check Box
6) In OLMB ---> Movement types ---> Copy,Delete, Check M.Types ---> Choose the M.Type:101   and go into Details -
> Then goto allowed Fields for M.Types for M.Type:101 ---> there for the M.Type:101   make the field   LIFNR as a Mandatoty field...
If you have done the above settings properly...then in MIGO ---> Choose Transaction GR and referance as Others
and do the GR....Make sure you are doing GR with M.Type:101....and yougive the Vendor's name during   GR....
Now If you save the GR ...automatically PO will be created...
this you can see it by displaying the MIGO Document..

Automatically creation of storage location for material, in MF60

Hi all,
my collegue of PP module uses MF60 transaction.
When he puts XXXX as Replenishment storage location, the system tells him this error: To stge loc. XXXX does not exist for material M1010000182 in plant 0001.
In MM i have activate the automatic creation of storage location for plant 0001 and for all movement types.
Why MF60 does not respect this requirement?
If I try to do movement type 311 with MIGO, manually, there's no problem to transfer the material from a storage location to , XXXX s.loc.
Is there something more that I have to do?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Alba

Thanks a lot...
the note says:
Summary
Symptom
A material without storage location view exists.
If within a single material document, this material is moved in such a way that no change in stock occurs in total, the system does not create a storage location automatically even if this is set in Customizing.
Additional key words
OMC3, XLAUT
Cause and prerequisites
All postings to a segment (for example, material, plant, storage location) are only executed if a change in stock occurs. Only in this case, storage locations are created automatically. This way it is made sure that no empty segments are created.
Solution
The system behaves correctly.
Header Data
Release Status:
Released on: 07.07.2000 22:00:00
BUT why IF i do 311 in MIGO, system creates automatically storage location (also if no change in stock occurs in total).
AND if doMF60 (that does mouvement 311), system does not create automatically the storage location?
Best regards
Alba

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."

Automatic creation of purchase info record

Hi friends
I could not find check box in RFQ (ME41!N)or in Quotation (ME47N) for updating/automatic creation of purchase info record.
Thanks
Sunny

Hi,
you can maintain the info update for the required quotation through ME47.choose the required line item and click on the "item detail" icon and put the necessary value for info update:
1-     No update
2-A     Update with or without plant
3-B     Update with plant (if no plant ban)
4-C     Update without plant (if no plant requirement)
Indicator: Update Info Record
Determines whether:
The purchasing info record for this vendor and material is to refer to this PO item, and
The item is to be valid for the entire purchasing organization or just for the plant.
Use
The indicator determines which prices and conditions are suggested in future PO items.
Prices and conditions can apply to an entire purchasing organization or to a single plant within a purchasing organization.
For example, if you create a purchase order for a plant for which an info record has been defined at plant level, the purchase order is based on the conditions in the plant info record and not on the conditions that apply to the purchasing organization.
Procedure
Enter the relevant plant key:
A
Updating of the document number is effected at plant level as long as there is a purchasing info record at plant level. Otherwise the document number is updated at purchasing organization level.
B
Updating is effected at plant level if plant conditions are allowed for the plant.
C
Updating is effected without plant data if plant conditions are not necessary for the plant.
Dependencies
The level at which updating of the document number may be effected is defined for each plant.
Hope this will clarify your query.
Thanks & Regards,
Bijay Pradhan

Avoid automatic creation of purchase requisition for bom item N

Dear.
When I create a production order , for the components with bom item N the system create a purchase requisition. I need to avoid this automatic creation , do you know a solution to obtain this ?
Thanks.

For the many people that have asked this question.
N item category in the BOM is always going to propose direct procurement. Through configuration I have not found a way to make it go away from the planned order. You can make it go away from the production order.
The IMG path:
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service
-> Maintenance and Service Processing
--> Maintenance and Service Orders
---> Functions and Settings for Order Types
----> Define Change Docs, Collective Purc. Req. Indicator, Operation No. Interval
Under the Res/PurRq -> Specify Never
In order make this setting effective, you must define the following
system message to error or warning, as it is stated on note 569984
Version Appl.A. No. Cat
00000000 C2 280 W
Please note that this setting is effective for reservations and
requisitions.
The best solution is to use BOM item category L with the bulk indicator set. You will not get any direct procurement proposals or planned orders and you can use long term planning to see the time phased MRP results.
