Automatic Rule-Set-Based Update

With the Automatic Rule-Set-Based Update option, you can update the selected materials after the MRP monitor run, in accordance with the rules defined in transaction /SAPLOM/XMM_RULE. The materials that fulfill the rule conditions are updated automatically with the specified parameters of the rule applied.

You can further restrict the update rules used. You can filter for rule keys, evaluation sequence, and rule validity. You can select the appropriate box to apply the filter for the automatic update or interactive update. The automatic update is performed with the analysis run.

If you also want to perform an update by rule set category, the relevant rule - according to the evaluation sequence and other restrictions on the selection screen - is determined for each rule set category and used for the update. Allows you to maintain different categories of rules and apply them in parallel. You can maintain the rule set in transaction /SAPLOM/XMM_RULE. You can assign a rule to a rule set category there. You maintain the rule set categories in transaction /SAPLOM/XMM_CAT. For more information, see the Material Master Update section of the comprehensive functions.

In the case of an interactive update, the system only takes into account the rules that match the chosen criteria when you choose the update pushbuttons in the results list.
