Check mode in APO product master

Hi - it is understood from SAP HELP that the check mode in the product master corresponds to the requirement class in ECC. I tried to understand for my case but couldn't get it. Below is the snap from SAP doc which explains this case. Can anyone please elaborate on this so I can understand it clear. I basically want to know exactly from where the check mode is getting updated in APO. Thanks.

GC,
Requirement class is determined in ECC. There can be more than one way it is determined, the illustration you have supplied is an example of how default Strategy 40 determines the default of two different requirements classes; one for Planned Independent Requirements, and one for Sales Requirements. You can see this in ECC by looking at the configuration for a Planning Strategy (OPPS). Strategy group determines Strategy, Strategy determines requirements TYPE, and requirements type determines requirements CLASS (OVZH/OVZG).
During sales order processing, the sales order contains a requirements type (which as I said before, can be determined by the ECC Planning strategy, but also can be determined in other ways). When ATP is triggered in ECC for execution in SCM, the requirements TYPE in the Sales Doc determines a requirements CLASS, which is sent to APO for ATP processing. Requirements CLASS is integrated in SCM as CHECK MODE.
When a new SCM system is delivered, there are usually no check Modes defined; YOU have to do that. You select the Requirements classes you wish to manage (from ECC) and you define them in SCM. They can behave the same as in ECC, or you can make them behave differently.
So, when a sales order arrives in SCM from ECC, for an availability check, and containing a requirements class, the sales order goes to the SCM configuration you have created, looks up the CHECK MODE that you created, and performs the availability check according to YOUR configuration.

Need to Populate Material Type from ECC to APO Product Master

Hi All,
I need to update the material type field from ECC to APO.
I am using the userexit CIFMAT01 and component EXIT_SAPLCMAT_001.
I need to extract field MTART from MARA table and need to Populate it in APO Product master.
In APO i am using the ATT01 field of table /SAPAPO/MATKEY.
But this does not work the data of material type is not getting populated in APO.
We have tried to use a break point in the user exit and while executing the transaction CFM2 it does not stop at the break point.
Can anyonwe guide me as to how to go about in implemeting this user exit.
Regards
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
Make sure that u r pass the material type as a below :
CT_CIF_MATKEY-ATT01 = Pass the Material Type.
CIF_MATKYX -ATT01 = 'X'.

APO Product Master: New Freely Defined Attribute

Dear Experts,
We know than in the spro, you can defined up to 5 free attributes for the product Location master than appear in the Tab EXTRA.
We would like to create a new one, I mean, a 6th one. The issue is that, even we are able to create it in the spro, we do not see it in the Product Master and therefore, we are not able to maintain it.
Does anybody have the same issue? Wich kind of posibilities do we have?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Susana

I concur with the previous reply.
This is not possible.
I have used all the 5 additional Fields in the past in DP Macros to store & use values on product-locations that are not available in Standard APO Product screen. But the Limit is 5 and this can be seen in /sapapo/matkey table and /sapapo/matloc tables as well (via Trnx. SE11).
However In addition, you can create 'Z' Tables in ABAP. Alternatively you can save Additional masterdata in your own customer created TimeSeries Planning Area of which the Characteristics will be Product and Location only to save anything additional you need in TS Planning areas. Alternatively a BI InfoCube can be created with same characteristics. The Userexit can then Grab data from this InfoCube or Z Table to do whatever you want.
Typically it is common that Demand Planning MACROS use it in their Code Logic. Remember, none of the additional attributes are used in the Standard Planning Algorithms / Logic of SNP, PPDS, DP or TPVS. You have to write Custom Logic which is possible via Demand Planning Macros in Planning Books created on that Planning area.
So the Best Option for Additional Fields is a TimeSeries Planning area which DP Macros can be built to use. Of course the Standard 5 can be in Product Master (/sapapo/mat1) and then additional to whatever number you want can be in the TimeSeries Planning area.
Hope you find this usefull. Reward points if you do.

% Remaining SL Field in the APO product master

Hi All,
Any body have used the field % Remaining SL field maintained in the product master. Does CTM or SNP Optimzer does consider this?
What is the significance of the field?
We have distribution center DC1 and plant PL1
We have two minimum shelf life requirements for given product X e.g. Minimum Shelf life guarantee of 30 days for X at PL1 and Inter-company minimum shelf life of 45 days between DC1 and PL1.
How can we design solution for this where for the stock transfer requisitions from DC1 to PL1 we want to use Inter-company minimum shelf life and Minimum Shelf life guarantee for sales order at the PL1. I am just thinking % Remaining SL (where I can define Ingtercompany Shelf life) is the one which helps me meet this inter-company shelf life, but it seems to be not working. May be I am not sure how do define and use it.
Please share your thoughts, experience and ideas on addressing these two minimum shelf life requirements.
Thanks.
J.

Try MAT_SET()
MAT_SET ( field name ; field_value' ; <'product'> ; '<version>' ) sets the value of the specified field in the product master record for the specified product in the specified version. The arguments for product and version are optional. If you do not specify an argument for the product, the system uses the currently planned product. However, it is better for performance reasons to use the function ACT_PRODUCT.
MAT_EXTRA_SET() i think sets the fields in the extras tab

Transferring Product Master Data Changes From APO to ECC/R/3

Is it possible to transfer product master data changes in APO to ECC via the CIF? If so, does it require custom coding?

Hi James,
In all the different clients where APO is being used with ECC systems. ECC system is always the main system (system of record) which contains all the master data and data present in ECC supposed to be the reference for APO system for planning purpose.
Generally it is not recommended to transfer master data from APO to ECC but as mentioned earlier by some experts you may have ways to do that.
I would be interested in the business scenario where one needs to transfer master data from APO to ECC.
Thanks,
Anupam

Mass update of product master (lock material record)

Hi! Does anyone know of any program that I can use to carry out mass update of product master in SRM? I am specifically looking at locking the materials. I originally intended to use LSMW and create a recording for it. However, the recording didn't work - when I clicked on the open button so that I can key in the product id, it returns back to the recording / LSMW transaction with the screen data. I did not even have a chance to proceed further.
Any idea would be appreciated.
Regards
SF

really . though you are ECS mode .
material master must be there right ?
How your SRM PO will reflected ( indeed really creates in ECC i.e copy of srm PO).
confusion here
can you create a SC for local material and order a successful PO ?
i know there is a product check in catalog web services - in SRM product master not necesary but your ECC must have material master right..

Hi Meenakshi,
you need to enhance the condition maintenance group in the customizing, which is assigned to the product master. Please check: IMG: Customer Relationship Management -> Master Data -> Products -> Special Settings for Sales Operations -> Assign Condition Group to Application CRM and IMG: Customer Relationship Management -> Master Data -> Conditions and Condition Technique -> Condition Technique: Basics -> Create Maintenance Group.

Characteristic values not displayed in APO Product

Hi friends,
I CIFed Materials with characteristics and class as 300 (variant) to APO-SNP where it gets converted to class 400 (CDP). The material gets CIFed but when I go to the Classification tab of Product master (/SAPAPO/MAT1), and hit Further Classes button, the Characteristics value descriptions appear but with no values assigned to it.
Have any one experienced this before or anyone could help me on this. Thanks in advance for your help.
Sam

Hello Friends,
My problem is similar to Sam's. The difference is that when I hit Further Classes button, it appears a messagem saying there are no assignements for class type 300, only for class type 400. Any idea of what is the cause?
Thank you!

Short Dump while maintaining conditions in Product master

Hi Experts,
We are getting short dump while we want to maintain conditions in the product master.
The dump message is as follows -
CREATE DATA: The specified type "/1CN/WS_ID_300PRODUCTBBP_SKU_T" is no valid
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CREATE_DATA_ERROR', was not
caught in
procedure "/SAPCND/MNT_INIT_OW" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a
RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
The dynamically specified type "/1CN/WS_ID_300PRODUCTBBP_SKU_T" at CREATE DATA
is no valid data type.
The type is either unknown or an object type.
I checked for OSS note but could not get success and also i could not explore in SDN. Can anybody help me in this.
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Thank You
Abhinandan

Customs product master error

Hi,
while creating sales order and saving it, iam getting the error message pop up, "subsequent processing not allowed(Customs product master missing 12123). contact customes excise tax dept""........and i cannot save the sales order.
12123 in the error message above is material number.which i give in sales order.......................the message no is FTPI901
what is the issue. ??? at first i thought some coding is done in user exit for sales order.. but i cannot find any such code in exit.
regards
sachin

the message no is FTPI901
I never come across with the above error message. Could you reconfirm whether the above is correct or any alpha value is interchanged.
Also I feel that some user exit is applied to sale order creation through which, some value needs to be maintained in some zee table. Take the help of ABAPer and find out what user exit is applied in debug mode.
thanks

Product master in CRM and R/3

Hi Gurus,
can anybody make my understanding clear regarding the difference of product master in CRM and R/3. any links to know more on it will also help.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
sasmita

Hi Sasmita,
Here are some of inputs will help for undersatnding:
The CRM product master is a collection or arrangement of various settypes which contain specific data.
Pre-defined settypes are delivered (e.g. basic product data; conversion of unit of measure)
Enhancement of the product master with own settypes is possible
Settypes correspond to database tables
Attributes correspond to your product characteristics.
Attributes can be summarized with the help of set types
In the system there are standard set types which are always available. However, you can also create and implement user-defined set types, to depict marketing data, for example.
The usage of set types can be restricted (e.g. certain set types only allowed for products of type product) Distribution chain-dependent set types can be created.
A set type is only permissable for a product when the set type is assigned to the category to which you then assign the product. To assign a set type to a category, use the function Edit categories and hierarchies.
You can assign a set type to several product categories within a category hierarchy. However, each set type can only be assigned within one hierarchy. In doing so, a multiple assignment of a set type to one and the same product (over contrasting categories) is prevented.
A product can be assigned to several categories, as long as these are within different category hierarchies. A product can also be assigned to only one category per hierarchy.
The assignment to the base hierarchy R3PRODSTYP is vital, so that basic data set types are available, for example.
R3PRODSTYP depicts the product types present in the R/3 system.
Customer product numbers can be assigned. This Customer product ID is stored in the relationships
Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)
Customer-own checks can be defined before a product can be saved. Enhancements  Consistency check
Transaction :
COMMPR01-Maintain Products
COMMPR02-Mass Maintenance for Inactive Products
COMM_HIERARCHY-Maintain Categories and Hierarchies
COMM_ATTRSET- Maintain Set Types and Attributes
