This section describes how to configure SAP ERP for SAP ME ERP integration.

The required configuration depends on the version of SAP ERP that you have connected to SAP ME. For information about supported SAP ERP versions, see SAP Note 1793291.

The integration of the configuration type A uses the Production Optimization Interface (POI). To access it, in the SAP Easy Access menu, choose  Logistics Central Functions Supply Chain Planning Interface Production Optimization Interface (POI) .

Maintain ALE settings for POI in Customizing for Logistics - General under  Supply Chain Planning Interfaces (SCPI) Production Optimization Interface (POI) .

The integration of the configuration of type B allows automatic distribution of production orders upon their release, based on customizing settings.

If your ERP system belongs to the configuration type C, D or later, some data is distributed by means of the Data Replication Framework (DRF). See Customizing for  Production Integration with a Manufacturing Execution System .
