The SAP product version in the back-end system serving as the the basis for the app must be the following:
Required Back-End Product (Product Version Stack) |
|
The front-end components of the app consist of the user interfaces and content required for launching the app on the SAP Fiori launchpad. These components have to be installed on your front-end server.
The back-end components of the app mainly consist of the OData services required for the app. These components have to be installed in your back-end system.

The app offers the possibility to upload documents. For security reasons, we strongly recommend that you install an appropriate virus scanner in your respective back-end system and define sufficiently restrictive scan profiles to prevent the upload of malicious content. For more information about virus scanning and scan profiles for SAP Fiori apps, see Virus Scanning.
On the back-end server, the following SAP notes must be implemented for this app:

Enable App for Access in SAP Fiori Launchpad
To define the access of single users to this app in the SAP Fiori launchpad, technical content is delivered, such as catalogs and example roles.
You can find an overview of the delivered technical content for this SAP Fiori app in the SAP Fiori apps reference library.
For more information about how to procede with this content, see Enable App for Access in SAP Fiori Launchpad.
Front-End Server and Back-End Server: Assign OData Service Authorizations to Users
You must assign OData service authorizations for the app to your users.
Several authorization default values are connected to the OData service. To ensure that all these default values are assigned to a user, you have to follow the instructions given under the documentation links provided.
On the back-end server, a dedicated authorization role (PFCG role) for the OData service is delivered as an example. You can copy this role and adjust it to your needs.
On the front-end server , you must assign the OData service authorization to a new or existing role, such as a business role that has been adjusted according to your needs.
OData Service (Version Number) |
Back-End Server: Delivered Authorization Role (PFCG Role) |

In addition, this role contains authorizations to display the related business data.
Note
In addition, this role contains authorizations to display the related business data. |
OData service authorization must be assigned. |
Before implementing the app, you must ensure the following:
You have configured the Material Requirements Planning component in the back-end system. For more information, see Customizing for Production under Material Requirements Planning.
You have assigned the authorizations in the back-end system that are required for displaying the Stock/Requirements List (transaction MD04) to the business users of the Monitor External Requirements app.
You have installed and configured the Material fact sheet.
To be able to implement the app, you must perform the following configuration tasks in the back-end system:
Default configuration settings are provided for this app in Customizing for Production under . Check if the SAP standard configuration settings in the following Customizing activities meet your business requirements. If this is the case, no further changes are necessary. Otherwise you can tailor the following Customizing settings to your needs:
Define Supply and Demand Profiles
In the activity Define Supply and Demand Profiles you can create your own supply and demand profiles. Here, you organize your supply and demand elements into groups that you assign to the material shortage definitions in a later Customizing step. This filters the supply and demand elements to be used for the calculations.
Define Material Shortage Profiles
In the activity Define Material Shortage Profiles you can create your own material shortage profile. The material shortage profile contains the individual material shortage definitions that you can select in the app in the Shortage Definition drop-down box. The shortage definition contains the specific set of rules for calculating the material shortage or uncovered demand.
Only those shortage definitions are shown in the Shortage Definition drop-down box of the external requirements app for which the UncvrdDmnd checkbox is selected in this Customizing activity. The UncvrdDmnd checkbox specifies whether you want the system to calculate uncovered demands such as production, stock transfer, and sales demands in addition to material shortages.
Assign Material Shortage Profile to Users
In the activity Assign Material Shortage Profile to Users, you can assign the material shortage profile to your users. This controls the material shortage definitions the user can choose from in the app. If you make no changes here, the system automatically uses the SAP standard material shortage profile for all users.
