SNP-- LSMW-- Transportation Lane

Hi,
When we are doing LSMW for Transporation Lane creation in APO SNP, system unable to recongize the Pop-Up screen, due to that its not updating record.
It showing all values after converted data, but, when system unable to feed the value to populate the sub screen.
Kindly guide to overcome this problem.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
LSMW does not recognize pop up, to avoid the pop-up you need to check the flags fix trsp duration and fix trsp distance and enter a value for both (dummy value in case you dont require any of these fields), the pop-up generate proposal will not appear.
But I think creating transportation lane using BAPI is a better and faster option in case you have got large number of lanes.
Thanks,
Sanjog

How to use snp heuristic with two direction transportation lanes?

Dear Expert,
now, i want to run snp plan for two location 1000 and 2000 with heuristic method.
at the difference point of time, i run difference snp plan. for example, this month i run snp with transportation lane from 1000> 2000 for product A113 and A124. but in three next month i want to run snp with transportation lane from 2000-> 1000 for A113, A124 and A224.
so i don't know how to config snp to do this. 'cause i know with two direction transportation lane the system will have a loop.
please help me.
thanks so much.

Hello,
If you just use location heuristic, the system is OK with the cycles. You can just run it.
Even if you use network heuristic, the heuristic can also run. The only problem is that the low level code may not be correctly determined, which cause the sequence of the locations incorrect.
And you also have the following options:
1)Block the unused the transportaion lane when you want to switch to the other way.
2)Use BADI /SAPAPO/PWB_SOS method PWB_USEX_SOS to filter the unused transportation lane.

SNP heuristics and optimiser using transport lane validity dates

I am using APO SNP 5.1.
In particular I am trying to use the SNP heuristics and optimiser for supply planning.
Can anyone confirm whether transport lane validity dates are respected by (a) SNP heuristics and (b) SNP optimiser, ie no transport requisitions will be created during times when the transport lane is not 'open' in terms of validity dates.
Thanks for any advice on this...

Hi,
Irrespective of the SNP planning engine you are using, a t-lane will only be considered if the t-lane is active as per the validity dates.

SNP is not picking transportation lane

A valid transportation lane exists for a material that is sourced by DC B from Plant A.
A valid transporation lanes exists between these two however SNP Run does not pick the transporation lane and a Pur Req is created without a source iniside it.

Make sure you have Product maintained for both source and target location.
/SAPAPO/MAT1
Also check if any Blocking Indicator for Source of Supply is set in TL(/SAPAPO/SCC_TL1 - Master Data -> Transportation Lane -> Transportation Lane )

Transportation lane KEY not getting generated in the table

Transportation lane KEY not getting generated in the table
Hi folks,
The issue is like this :
We have a weekly workorders upload program from legacy systems to SAP-APO. The legacy planners send a .CSV file containing material-wise workroders. A customised zee program picks these quantities & writes them in Prod.planned keyfigures in SNP planning book. This process is done for the manufacturing locations only.
Lately workorders for two particular material M1 & M2 had failed to get upload. It gives the error 'NO VALID SOURCE OF SUPPLY COULD BE FOUND' in its Job log. We did some debugging & found that for successful materials the TRPID is getting generated in the table /SAPAPO/V_TRPROD whereas this TRPID is missing for M1 & M2. Why this is happening is our main concern. We tried deleting the PPM & creating this again, assuming that the PPMID is the precursor for generating this TRPID, but this yielded no results.
____ for successful upload______________
se16 --> /SAPAPO/V_TRPROD
Version = 000
LOCTO = LOCID KEY for manufacturing location
MATID = MATID KEY of successfully loaded workorder
Enter
This gives the following results
TRPID = TRPID KEY
LOCFR = LOCID KEY for manufacturing location
LOCTO = LOCID KEY for manufacturing location
MATID = MATID KEY for successfully loaded workorder
( This seems a self-lane, i.e both TO & FROM location are same)
____ for unsuccessful upload________
se16 --> /SAPAPO/V_TRPROD
Version = 000
LOCTO = LOCID KEY for manufacturing location
MATID = MATID KEY for unsuccessfully loaded workorder
Enter
This gives the following results
Error = No Table entries found for specified KEYS
We are perplexed why this TRPID is not getting generated for these two particular material M1 & M2?
We have deleted their PPM & re-created them to cross-check if the PPMID KEY is the trigger for generating the TRPID key. This didn't work!
Please let us know in case someone faced a similar issue.
Many Thanks.
Kumar

Yes Anand.
We deleted the PPM & created it again, which didn't work.
Later on we deleted the product itself from APO & re-CIFed it from R3 & then re-created the PPM.
The PPMID which was missing earlier is now getting created! However no luck with the TRPID.
Why this TRPID is not getting generated in our only concern

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.

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

Mass upload of Transportation Lane

Hi ,
Can anyone tell what is the easy method of uploading transportation lane. I tried using LSMW but i can't using the recording method. If anyone have a standard template and BDC program. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Shan

Hi Shan,
As rajesh said we are also using Z program to upload Tlanes and MOT's.
I will give you a brief.
We have 4 radio buttons ( All product lanes, product specific lanes, MOT and Product specific MOT) on selection screen and File name, BSG and Model name.
Based on the selection it fills data to BAPI BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI and save.
Like for example for product specific lans
        export to BAPI
        pass logical_system        = w_logsys
        business_system_group = p_busgrp
        model                 = p_model
        commit_control        = c_e
        TABLES
        transport_lane        = it_lane2
        transport_lanex       = it_lane2_x
        prod_procurement      = it_prod2
        prod_procurementx     = it_prod2_x
        return                = it_return2.
Else IF mot=x
then
export to BAPI
        pass logical_system        = w_logsys
        business_system_group = p_busgrp
        model                 = p_model
        commit_control        = c_e
        TABLES
TABLES
        transport_lane        = it_lane3
        transport_lanex       = it_lane3_x
        means_of_transport    = it_means3
        means_of_transportx   = it_means3_x
        return                = it_return3
Please ask your ABAPER to develop.
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.

CIF Transportation Lanes from R/3 to APO

Currently, we are creating transportation lanes in APO via BAPI calls from R/3.     We have been lead to believe that transportation lanes can be CIF'ed over to APO.
We are only executing GATP in APO.    We currently do not use DP, SNP, PP/DS, TP/VS, etc.
I have seen several OSS notes that allows additional fields to be added to the CIF screen (tx = CFM1) but these fields would be more for filtering data.
We just upgraded our APO system from 3.1 to 5.0.    The CFM1 screen stayed the same in SCM 5.0.     Could it be possible that we don't have an updated CFM1 screen with the option of CIF'ing transportaion lanes??
Any information on this would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
As you in your requirement only describe gATP, I am a bit unsure why you need the transportation lanes? There are some different ways to handle the scheduling part in gATP and you should look into this before making any decisions regarding this. Normally you can ake use of transportation zones in APO to give a goiod level of detail vs maintenance for transportation lead time scheduling. gATP also allows for usage of condition technique and, as of 5.0, a new general procudure process scheduling from which I have no experience. I can see benefitds with transportation zones and scheduling, and in this scenario it would be possoble to make use of some data (customers) that can be CIFed and grouped. But as said there are several options, please specify your requirments to see if I can support further.

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.

Product specific transportation lane

Dear colleague,
Can anyone explain me the relevance of the field consumption and unit in the product specific transportation lane. My SNP opt result does not come proper due to this field. The F1 help description is not much clear for this field.
Thanks
Sandeep

Hi
As far as my knowledge you can define transportation resource which we can in means of transport.
In the product specific means of transportation , in the consumption field you can defined the capacity which will be get used for specific product- means of transportation combination out of all the resource capacity have been defined in means of transport
Thanks

SPP Error - No valid transportation lane between Supplier and LOC1

Hi
While running the EOQ and SFT planning service, we get the following error
"No valid transportation lane between Supplier and LOC1". LOC1 is the entry location for our BOD.
We have not created any procurement relationships as we are working on a standalone SCM trialbox.
Appreciate any help/suggestions to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Best Regds
Mitesh

Hi Mitesh,
You need to have valid transportation lanes from the supplier. Maintain it manually. If I remember correctly it is possible to have External Procurement Relationships in APO only (type 4) and not just contracts, purchasing inforecords or scheduling agreements CIFed from ECC.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

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.

Edited by: So Kitagawa on May 14, 2008 6:12 PM

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.

Ambrish Mathur
