Transfer Mode
  1. Select the radio button that corresponds to the type of data transfer you want to make.

If you choose Complete, all master data corresponding to your selections in this screen is sent.

If you choose Changes, only data that has been changed since the last complete download is sent.

Optimization System
  • Enter the logical system.
    Before you can enter an optimization system, you must first create the corresponding logical system in Customizing. To do this, in the implementation guide, choose ALE Settings for POI in the SCPI IMG. Carry out the appropriate setting in the section Basic Configuration.
  • For more detailed information, refer to the implementation guide for ALE.
    		•

    All parameters you chose for the last selection are automatically saved as a variant under the name <optimization system>_1 . You can use this name in a batch job. You can also save several variants and use them for a batch job.

    If you enter <optimization system> and press ENTER , the selection parameters that were last maintained are displayed. However, this way of simplifying selection is only possible if you did not enter any other selection criteria besides the optimization system when you released the data.

    Materials
  • Enter the plant, materials and any other necessary data.
  • Flag selection indicators

    • Plant is a mandatory field.

    Entry type

     

     

     

     

     

    Lot size
    1. Select the type of entry for database reading period (for example, day, month, etc.).
    2. Enter the start and end date.
    3. Enter the upper and lower limits of the lot size range.

    These settings are valid for the selection of BOMs and routings. When you enter this information, all corresponding alternatives (in multi-level BOMs) and change statuses (in changes with engineering change management) are selected.

    BOM
  • Select one of the radio buttons:
      • No BOM selection
      • BOM for material above
      • BOM for...
    1. Enter the plant to limit selection.

    If you choose option ‘BOMs for material selected above‘, the material you entered in section 1 is used.

    If you do not want to use the material selected in section 1, choose option ‘BOM for‘ and enter the plant and material in the appropriate fields

    Routing

    Same as for BOM

    		  

    Work Center

    Same as for BOM

    Segment E1KAREL in the work center IDoc transfers available capacity for specific time periods and work centers. Define the time period by entering a start and end date. If you don’t enter a time period (default), this segment won‘t be filled and no capacity information will be transferred. Work centers belonging to a specific plan can be sent automatically. IDocs corresponding to work centers in the selected routings, in this case, work centers contained in segments E1PLPOL-ARBID and E1PORSL-ARBID are sent. If the segments are reduced, no data is transferred for these work centers. If warehouse resources are being used, those for field E1PLMZ-LGORT are sent. This also applies to warehouse resources for production versions of a material and its routing in which case the work centers are automatically transmitted.

    1. Choose the menu options Program ® Execute.

    You can also let the program run as a batch job. To do this, choose the menu options Program ® Exec. in background.

    The corresponding IDoc is created and forwarded to the message distribution level of ALE.

    You will receive a message once the IDoc has been forwarded successfully.

    You can define additional selection parameters for bills of material and routings in Customizing for POI.
