Process: Moving an Article to a New Location (SAP Library - Space Management Interface (LO-MD-PL))

Process: Moving an Article to a New Location

Purpose

This process corresponds to the business process scenario: Variant 3: Moving an Article to a New Location.

Process

Creation of new layout modules or assignment of one or more articles to an existing one.

Periodic generation of the assortment list (full version or change versions).

Workflow generates work items.

When the work items are processed, Workflow Nr. 20000053 is executed.

Decide whether article data is to be displayed prior to export or not.

Direct export (no display of data beforehand)

Function module planogram_data_read first checks data for consistency. If key data (EAN/UPC code, article units of measure, dimensions) for an article are missing, then all articles within the layout module are displayed and the missing key fields for each article are highlighted in red. The system then reads the space management profile and checks it for consistency. Finally it selects the articles relevant for export, along with the corresponding master data and movement data.

The system reads the space management profile in Customizing to determine the function module to be used for export, then executes it.

Display of data to be exported:

Function module planogram_data_read first checks data for consistency. It then reads the space management profile and checks it for consistency. Finally it selects the articles relevant for export, along with the corresponding master data and movement data..

The Listviewer displays all articles assigned to the layout module in question (assuming they have the correct listing and sales validity dates).

The system reads the space management profile in Customizing to determine the function module to be used for export, then executes it.

The space management program calls the read BAPI Bapi_SiteLayMod_GetItems. The BAPI uses the function module planogram_data_read to retrieve the layout module data from the buffer and copy it to the space management program. (The space management profile in Customizing determines which data will be selected.)

The space management program calls the posting BAPI Bapi_SiteLayMod_Change. This posts the data to R/3.

There are two user exits should you wish to insert your own custom export function modules. These occur after the read BAPI Bapi_SiteLayMod_GetItems has run and prior to the execution of the posting BAPI Bapi_SiteLayMod_Change.
