You can use report RSMIPROACT or RSMIPROACT2 to transfer demand or stock data from SAP ERP to SAP SNC. You can run the report once a day in dialog mode (mainly for test purposes) or in the background, for example. The following procedure gives you an example of what kinds of data you can enter for a Supplier Managed Inventory (SMI) business scenario.
