Maintaining Location-Dependent Product Master Data 

Prerequisites

Your system administrator must maintain unique identifiers for valid planners. Only these planners can be assigned to a location product in Master Data Administration. You can assign the planner as follows: in APO Customizing, choose Supply Chain Planning ® Specify the Person (Planner) Responsible.

Procedure

  1. From the SAP Easy Access menu, choose SAP APO: Master Data ® Product. The Product Master initial screen appears.
  2. Enter a product name.
  3. Select Location.
  4. Use F4 help to select a location.
  5. To apply the specifications in the pre-defined profiles, enter the profile name for each of the following:

The relevant fields in the product master are populated with the data specified in the profiles you selected. If you modify this data, the product master cannot be maintained globally via the profiles. Create and maintain master data profiles in Customizing. In Customizing, choose Advanced Planner and Optimizer ® Supply Chain Planning ® Supply Network Planning ® Profiles.

  1. Choose Create. The Create Product for Location screen appears.

    2. On this screen you can see both the tabs for global product master data, see Maintaining Global Product Master Data, and the tabs for the location master data that are documented below.

  2. Enter the unit of measurement for the product. The system converts all the quantities you enter in alternative units of measure to the base unit of measure.
  3. Select each of the tabs on this screen. Enter the relevant data. You can choose from the following tabs:

These tab pages are based on location-specific product master data. The SNP1 and ATP tab pages contain both global and location-specific data. Unlike the global product view, the location product view also shows the tab pages containing the global product master data.
  1. Save your entries.
