Function documentationUpdate of RO from Changed Sales Order

 

If a supplier changes or adds items to a sales order in the supplier back-end system and transmits this changed sales order to SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC), using an XML message of type ReplenishmentOrderConfirmation, SAP SNC updates the corresponding replenishment order. SAP SNC changes or adds replenishment order items accordingly. For a new or changed replenishment order item, SAP generates corresponding alerts. In addition, SAP SNC updates the change status on header level and on item level.

Features

Relevant Changes

SAP SNC only considers changes to the following item data as relevant changes:

  • Ship-from location

  • Customer location

  • Ship-to location

  • Product

  • Requested quantity

  • Requested delivery date

The system also considers the cancellation of an item as being a change.

Only the above changes trigger an alert and an update of the change status.

Alert Types for New and Changed Sales Order Items

SAP SNC can create the following alerts:

  • For a new replenishment order item, SAP SNC creates the New Replenishment Order Item alert (alert type 7120).

  • For a changed replenishment order, SAP SNC creates the Changed Replenishment Order Item alert (alert type 7121).

For each relevant change (see above), the system creates an alert of alert type 7121 (for example, an alert for a quantity change and an alert for a product change). The alert text displays what has changed (for example, the quantity or the price).

Note Note

You cannot configure the system to create an alert for only a certain type of relevant change but not for others (for example, for quantity change but not for product change).

End of the note.

For the system to generate these alerts, the validation check RO_NEW_CHG_ALERT_CTRL must be active. This validation check is active in the standard delivery.

Update with ATP Results

In the Responsive Replenishment scenario, the supplier can perform an ATP check for the sales order that is created in his or her back-end system based on a replenishment order. The ATP check updates the sales order with confirmation schedule lines. The supplier then sends the updated sales order to SAP SNC using an XML message of type ReplenishmentOrderConfirmation. SAP SNC compares the confirmation schedule lines with the request schedule lines for an item using deviation analysis from consensus finding (see consensus finding). Based on the results of deviation analysis, SAP SNC then accepts or rejects the confirmation schedule lines and updates the request schedule lines where necessary. For more information, see Responsive Replenishment with ATP Check.

Update of the Change Status

SAP SNC sets the status of a new item to New and the status of a changed item to Changed.

Delivery Date

In the Responsive Replenishment scenario, if the supplier changes the requested delivery date of a sales order item in his or her back-end system, this change is not reflected in the replenishment order in SAP SNC. This is because the ORDERS05.ORDERSP IDoc only transfers the requested delivery date from the header of the sales order.

Deleting Sales Orders

The deletion of sales orders or sales order items in a back-end system is not supported by the integration with SAP SNC. Instead, We recommend that users reject sales orders and sales order items in the SAP ERP system. When this is done, the replenishment order or replenishment order item in SAP SNC receives the Cancelled status.
