Transportation Lanes in Global ATP using hierarchy

Dear experts,
I want to use a hierarchy with customers/locations allocated to transportation zones and create transportation lanes between the transportation zones. When running the GATP check, transportation lane is never found via the hierarchy. If I create the TL between supplying location and customer location it works fine. Are hierarchies not supposed to work when doing transportation scheduling in GATP?
Is there any way to do the transportation scheduling in ECC (6.2) in the material ATP-check is carried out in SCM (5.0)?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Hi,
The best way to see which are the input needs to be filled is to look at the "APO Loader". & Sheet "Lane".

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.

Problem in using BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI to create transportation lanes

Hi,
While using BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI to create transportation lanes,bapi returns errors
1.Product transportation lane not found in database or in the tables and
2.Product <matnr> ( coming from the flat file in the program ) cannot be both product-independent and product-specific.
Please suggest solution to the problem.

Try to user APO Loader Excel and fill the data you are filling for BAPI "BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI" and see whether it works or not ?
Alternately you can fetch the data from APO to Excel using the get option of the "APO Loader Excel"

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

EHP4 Lean Sales Order Web Dynpro - Global ATP interaction

We are currently looking to use the Lean Sales Order interface Web Dynpro in ECC EHP4 and have a question about how it integrates with Global ATP.
If SAP standard VA01 is used, the user is presented with an APO Availability check screen which allows them to make a decision about where the product can be sourced from.
Please could you tell me if there is any such user interaction possible with the Lean Order Web Dynpro in EHP4? Or is the user interaction limited to changing the schedule line dates + asking for partial or full delivery.

Hi,
Right click on the field and select->Technical settings->you can find the component configuration under current view section. Navigate to configuration and you can choose field and click on attributes button on menu. there you can change values. else find feeder class in general settings. Go to feeder class and method "Get_Definition". here also you can change attributes.

Routes and Transit times with Global ATP

If Global ATP is used where are the transit times managed usually? in SAP or APO. Since Transit Times are in Routes in SAP. Is there any equivalent data management point in APO?
Thanks
venkat Jupudy

Hi Venkat
You can either call scheduling locally in R/3 and also in APO as part of GATP function.
Transit times are maintained in scheduling steps( creating condition records of condition technique scheduling) for condition type TRAN.
Route determination can be done in R/3. There is a possibility of dynamic route determination in APO but I guess it requires TP/VS and gatp functions.

Different transportation calendar in a transportation lane?

The transportation calendar in the transportation lane is considered when an ATP check is done in APO (e.g. for a sales order).
Is it possible that more than one transportation calendar (depending on different criteria, e.g. shipping point, shipping condition) can be assigned to a transportation lane?

Hi ael9999,
As of std functionality of maintaining this, only one calendar can be assigned.
For location specific calendar, you can assign warehouse calendar on
transaction /sapapo/loc3 under calendar tab.
You can try out the below BADIs
/SCMB/BIF_LDM_TRL002QR of enhancement spot /SCMB/BIF_LDM_TRL
/SCMB/BIF_LDM_TRL001QR of enhancement spot /SCMB/BIF_LDM_TRL

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.

GLOBAL ATP WITHOUT APO

When I was at Sapphire in 2007, SAP demo'd a global ATP from within SD that utilized enhancement pack 1 or 2. Now I need to implement something like this, without using APO. However, I can't find any references to in through Enhancement Pack 3 (our current version). Has anyone seen this done? Basically, if a customer orders an item, then we want to check two distribution centers, then look at stores with either high avaialability/overstock or near-by. Thanks in advance for ideas. I just need leads not a detailed solution.

Christophe
The end objective of GATP is the same as that of regular ECC ATP - provide customers with committed dates and quantities. Having said that, GATP provides a HUUUGE improvement in functionality compared to the ECC ATP check - for example, rules based ATP check for product/ location substitution, multi-level ATP check, capable-to promise, etc.
Because of these dramatic improvements in functionality, GATP has the potential to do a lot more than order promising - depending on the business requirement, it can reduce inventory, improve customer service, improve fill rates, ....
GATP is executed in the APO system and is a module of APO. Best place to start with documentation is SAP help.
