Can SNP in APO address Order Fulfillment strategy

Hi All,
I am aware of GATP functionality of APO that can address Order Fulfillment but can only SNP in APO address the Order Fulfillment. In other words, is it possible for a business to go for only APO, SNP to address the Order Fulfillment KPI and if business doesnt want to go for GATP functionality of APO for the same. If yes then how.
Thanks in Advance

Yes the change you are asking for is not at all straightforward. Currently your forecast consumption is happening based on the strategy that in product master. Now if you change the value of strategy , in APO, you are going to have an inconsistency because the forecasts and sales orders that are going to flow into APO (in the future) are going to have a different consumption behaviour and the consumption logic is going to be different for the already existing orders and S.O' . To solve this issue , you have to wipe out the forecasts and S.O's completely for APO and then change the strategy and re-release forecast and S.O's.
The other issue is whenever you make changes to the material in R/3 , the material CIF is going to pick it up and change the strategy in APO back to its original value (that is you are going to lose the value that you put in). To avoid this from happening you have to put custom logic in material CIF user exit to turn off the logic of updating the strategy in APO with that in R/3. But the downside of this approach is that it is going to affect all materials .

Can we find out APO TLB order no from R3 STO which transferred from APO

Hi ,
APO created STO exists in R3 with R3 No. Range (came after TLB run), is it possible to find out original APO TLB order number by mapping R3 STO number and who has created it.
Is it possible get the TLB log that TLB was executed in interactive TLB book?
Thank you.
Rajesh.k

Hi,
I am afraid not. You can check the logs for TLB run under APO>SNP>Reporting>application logs.
But I doubt if the interactive runs are saved in this log...
But the system for sure doesnot give the APO generated order number and the corresponding R/3 number. The only way may be to look at the creation time in OM19 (alternatively go to product view and enter GT_IO in command field that shows the live cache view) for the R/3 order.

Problem with purchase order release strategy

Hi Guru's
    i am dealing with problem of service purchase order release strategy , when i making the service po , i am not giving any over fulfillment tolerance , after release & making Service entry sheet of PO ,   when i go to the change mode and change
over fulfillment tolerance say 90% , system allow me to make , and not applying release strategy again , so there can be a miss use of this Scenario , so is there any possibility that release strategy , will appear again when change the tolerance ,
0r any other idea from your side , to avoid this ,
your suggestions are really always helpful to me , please guide me for this also
Thanks & regards
Neha

Hi Neha,
A reset of the release strategy only takes place if
- the changeability of the release indicator is set to '4' in
   case of a purchase requisition and '4' or '6' in case of
   another purchasing document (purchase order, request for
   quotation, contract, scheduling agreement),
- the document is still subject to the previous release
   strategy,
- the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher than the old one.
The total net order value is linked to CEKKO-GNETW for a purchase order,
CEBAN-GSWRT for a purchase requisition item-wise release and CEBAN-GFWRT
for a purchase requisition overall release.
If you have maintained a Tolerance for value changes during release
(V_161S-TLFAE), the release strategy is reset when the value of the
document is higher than the percentage you have specified and if the
document is still subject to the previous release strategy.
Review the SAP note 365604 and 493900 for more
information about Release strategy.

Ashwini.

Integration with SAP order fulfillment?

Hi, forgive me in advance for my ignorance and high-level questions in this post. Though I am a good programmer, I have never used SAP before and am trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can.
I am the founder and director of technology of a small nonprofit, www.sirum.org, that uses an online platform to streamline medicine donation from manufacturers and hospitals to community clinics that serve the uninsured. We recently had a big break through with a number of large manufacturers that they would transition their current proprietary donation software over to us in order for us to develop a cross-manufacturing donation solution so clinics didn't have to deal with each company individually.
The catch is that I believe most if not all of these companies wanted backend integration of our service with their current SAP order fulfillment systems. The webservice SIRUM is creating will have a clinic login to our site, order the medicine they need, tell each manufacturer how much of their drugs were ordered by whom, and then have a delivery request along with the clinics address sent to their distribution center.
I haven't discussed the integration component with them in anymore detail yet, but since I have never integrated a webservice with SAP - let alone even used SAP - before I wanted to get a sense of what a multiple manufacturer webservice integration would entail. Namely,
1) would we just create a WSDL with operations that tell the manufacturer how much was ordered?
2) Since we want the manufacturer to have little or no customization work on their end is there a way to also provide them an SAP program that then take information provided by our webservice and turns it into their ordering syntax.
3) Would this latter piece depend on what modules of SAP each manufacturer has installed, or does all order fulfillment use the same SAP module/solution?
4) Would a solution involve a lot of customization from manufacturer to manufacturer? Is there a way to minimize the amount of customization without sacrificing integration?
5) Do you guys/ladies have any good ideas of any features that could be added to the base functionality (sending an order of medicine from a clinic to a manufacturer and its distribution center for fulfillment)
Thanks in advance for your time,
Adam

If I'm understand your question correctly, you want to send the order you receive on your web to the manufacturer. Then manufacturer will create a sales order and delivery order on their side and deliver the good to the clinic.
In this case,
1,2) It would be better for you to send the order to them instead of creating the wsdl for them to call. There is a standard format EDI for sales order that SAP use to interface with legacy system. You cna generate the data in this format and send to each manufacturer so they can configure the system on their side.
3) The module is called SAP order fullfillment or SAP order-to-cash or SAP SD (Sales & distribution). It means the same thing just some people call it differnetly. SAP SD is the common one.
4) Surely there will be some effort for each manufacture to integrate their system with you. However, If you use the standard EDI, the effort would be minimal for the manufaturer that already implement this with other partner.
5) you can pass along the address in sales order. If the manufacturer system implemented SAP SD, they should be able to create sales order, delivery order and invoice from their side.

Where/ how do I set SNP to create Planned orders with multiple line items?

Hi
Currently our SNP is generating planned orders on a daily basis, it creates a single order with a single line item per location.
Where/ how do set SNP to create planned orders on a daily basis to generate a single order with multiple line items per location, so therefore one planned order with multiple line items for a single location.
Thanx
Keegan

Hi Keegan,
In SNP (APO) it is not possible to create order with multiple line items.
But you can do some settings so that while planning system can do aggregation and disaggregation.
But your requirment should be set on Aggregation/Dis-aggregation logic.
Please follow the follwing links:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/2c/c557e9e330cc46b8e440fb3999ca51/content.htm
Aggregation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/42/f731d078e73ee4e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
Disaggregation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm2007/helpdata/en/a6/ebefaf32e22e468355da304cc59387/content.htm
Please be sure that the setting of this logic will be at planning area level.
You can't change aggregation/disaggregation logic further.

Forecast Consumption in SNP for Make-to-Order products

We are working on using APO-SNP for Make-to-order products (PlngStrategyGroup = "81" in R/3). We want to achieve normal forecast consumptino on FinishedGoodLevel and generate PlndOrders which shall derive component demand for purchasing (such PlndOrers wont be released to production - they should only function as demand driven on component level)
What we have done so far: Forecast in APO-DP on Finished good level exists and has been released to SNP. The product gets "ciffed" from R/3 into APO material master with planning strategy group "20" (which is basically "make-to-stock") --> we were hoping this would allow us to use "normal" forecast consumption but nothing happens (FCST is not being consumpted by open Sales orders). Within the product view of such products APO is still "realizing" that this is a make-to-order product.
Any other ideas / thoughts what could be done to achieve "normal" forecast consumption on FGI level for make-to-order products in APO-SNP ?
Tks !

I checked in /n/SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View), unfortunately only FC exists there
Seems that the open Sales Orders from R/3 are being created within another segment (the "element" Tab of RRP3 shows 2 segments:
1) "Make-to-stock" (which contains the FC)
2) "Make-to-order" (which contains the Sales Orders)
That might explain the issue I see (FC and SOs are in different planning segment --> no consumption). Reading about planning segments in the help sounds like I need to find a way to bring Sales Orders for Make-to-Order products into the Make-to-stock segment ... jus a thought .. any idea how to do this ? Does that mean I need to modify the CIF for Sales Order transfer for Make-to-order products ?
Tks

Purchase order release strategy report

Dear Gurus,
We are using purchase order release strategy with classification.
We have 3-4 level of release. We want to develop a report where we will come to know at which level purchase order is pending for release .
How to get it ?
Please provide ur help for the same
Rgds,
Saurabh

Hi,
Basically in EKKO table there is a field name FRGZU -
Release status based on that we can write a logic take the report.
for example A1,B2,C3 ARE THREE release codes in that if A1 released means with check thable whether A1 released once it is release it will go to next release code it iwll check the status again inthe loop....
Just tell him the logic to ABAP person they will develop

How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).

After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?

In 'Address Book'
Select address book
'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
The you can sort by Name.
Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
Or
'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending'

Third-Party Order Fulfillment Process Scenario

Hello,
I would like to know if any of you have come across a use case where the Third-Party Order Fulfillment is Not based on the Supplier/Manufacturer shipping out the material directly But the Buyer (and in some cases even end User/customer) arranges this themselves. This is very common in International Trade where the Buyer/Business arranges the shipment themselves by using the services of a Freight Forwarder who Ships the material to the end user/customer after the Supplier/Manufacturer has made the Material available. In such cases the actual Shipment could take days or weeks from when Material is made ready by the Suppliers.
Currently the Third-Party Order Fulfillment Process assumes only one scenario and that is the Supplier will ship the material and inform their Buyer of Delivery. But in International Trade this is not the case and the Incoterms in the Purchase Order can be different to the Incoterms in the Sales order example in the PO the incoterms could be Ex-Works and in the SO CIF.
This leads to requirement of ASN and separate Inbound and Outbound Delivery and their separate Release in this Process as well.
These are not currently supported in the Third-Party Order Fulfillment process thus the Third-Party Order Fulfillment process in ByD has a very limited use in its current form.
If there are other users who have come across this as well then it would be nice to have your comments and possible workaround.
Best regards
Nick

There is no standard SAP solution for this requirement.
You can trigger output from inbound delivery document to generate EDI output and send delivery information to customer.
You will require to define custom output type , partner profile and link with custom fucntion module.
FM should have logic to pick information from 3rd party sales order and inbound ASN and generate IDOC
Hope this solution will work for your requirement

Change in Purchase Order Release Strategy Values

Dear All,
I am in process of changing Purchase Order release strategy values.
I have following release strategy -
                       Current Value                  (Proposed Value)
Level 1 -         Upto INR 0.1 Mn               (Proposed value - Upto 1.0 Mn)
Level 2 -         From 0.11 Mn to 0.5 Mn   (Proposed Value - From 1.01 Mn to 5.00 Mn)
Level 3 -         From 0.51 Mn to 1.0 Mn   (Proposed Value - From 5.01 Mn to 10.0 Mn)
Level 4 -         Above 1.0 Mn                  (Proposed Value - Above 10.0 Mn)
My questions are -
1) Will this change affect the existing Purchase Orders (already created) which are not yet released?
2) Will this change affect the existing Purchase Orders (already created) which are released?
3) Are there any risk factors?
Can you pl. put light on above questions?
Regards,
Prashant Kolhatkar

Hi,
Actually, what you had given is not enough to determine if the existing PO will be impacted or not
If you are just changing the classification but not changing the number of release level of the release code in the release strategy, the partial released PO will not be impacted unless there's PO changes. PO that are released will definitely not be impacted unless there are changed.
In general, after a release strategy is determined for PO, SAP will retrieve the latest list of release code of that release strategy for display for that PO. If this list never change (mean you only change classification of the release strategy), then they will not be apparent to the user. But if this list change (you add new release code, replace existing release code or remove release code), then you will see some discrepency on screen as you will only see the modified list of release code and not the old list of release code
Hope this help

Purchase Order Release Strategy Approval

HI All,
I have an issue with the Purchase Order Release Strategy, I need to set the Release strategy at 2 levels.
Level one will have 1 approver
Level two must have two approvers.
The scene is:
Level one will approve all purchase orders betwee 400 to 5000 euros. 1 approver only
Level two will approve all purchase orders above 5000 euros. 2 approvers.
The problem is that the level two approvers must have the same Purchasing Group, Release strategy and Code, that is.
Pur. group G70, Release Group GC and release strategy DF.
I have completed the customising and the Release simulation is working correctly but when the PO is created the is no release strategy proposed.
CL20N is completed for both levels and works correctly for level one approval but not for level two
Can any please help
Leslie

Hi,
May be in your case the values are not properly designed in release strategy for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) release characteristic.Now go for creation of following release characteristics
1. PO Order Type (ZPO_BSART),
2. Company Code (ZPO_ BUKRS),
3. Purchasing Organization (ZPO_EKORG),
4.Plant (ZPO_WERKS)
5. Purchasing Group (ZPO_ EKGRP) and
6. Total net PO Value (ZPO_GNETW)
Create one release class ZPO_CLASS & then add all above release characteristics
And then design your release strategies as required.
AND under release characteristic for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) keep following values
A. <= 400 EUR
B. 400.01- 5000 EUR
C. >5000 EUR
As you already created Release Group GC & release strategy DF (1st level), now create another release strategy DS (2nd level).
NOTE: As you needed one releaser at 1st level and then two releasers in 2nd level. So create three release codes C1 for 1st level and C2 & C3 for 2nd level.
In designing release strategies for PO , you can keep value 400.01- 5000 EUR with release codes C1 under DF release strategy and Keep value >5000 EUR with release codes C2 & C3 under DS release strategy.

Purchase order release strategy based on over delivery tolerance level

Hi Boss,
I like to set the Purchase order release strategy based on the over delivery tolerance. But when i checking, the over delivery tolerance filed UEBTO is not in the communication structure CEKKO. Can you please help me how should i extend the CEKKO with field UEBTO.
I do not have the ABAP experience, please guide me with coding.
Thank you,
Siva

Hi Siva:
You should request the development key for this structure under your SAP system, then you can add the extra fields in CEKKO.
Good luck

Purchase order release strategy with a characteristic value as a variable

Hi all,
We have Purchase order release strategy based on the following characteristics:
Total Net Order Value
Purchasing Organization
a few other custom fields
We would like to add a characteristic based on the creator of the PO. In the purchasing department there are two person which have the authorization to create an release POs. The goal is now to check if the actual user, who release the PO, is different from the PO creator. The value of this characteristic may not be a fix value, it must be contain the name of the actual user name.
Is there are a possibility to insert the characteristic value as a variable such as SY-UNAME instead a fix value?
Thanks,
Charles

this is verymuch possible. You can use unsed fields user1, user2 etc in CEKKO or (ii) insert a new field in CEKKOZZ and use the new field. You need to build up logic in user-exit such that this field will take the value of person who had logged in. This can be done by ABAPer.
Hope this resolves ur problem
