Amount Determination (SAP Library - EH&S Industrial Hygiene and Safety)

Amount Determination

Use

With this function you can determine values or measurement results for agents from other SAP components and transfer the values to Industrial Hygiene and Safety. In this manner you can, for example, transfer stock movement data from inventory management in Materials Management.

Amount determination applies to agents in work areas. When you transfer a value, it is entered as a new data record in the amounts for the agent in the respective work area.

Amount determination is therefore a supplement to the amounts function: it enhances it by adding the option of determining and transferring values automatically.

Amount determination is based on a user exit. You can modify or enhance the function modules supplied according to your requirements.

The following function modules are included with the standard system:

Function Module	Amount
CBIH_LB11_QTY_GET_STOCK_IN	Calculates the stock receipt for agents to which materials are assigned that are processed in inventory management
CBIH_LB11_QTY_GET_STOCK_OUT	Calculates the stock issue for agents to which materials are assigned that are processed in inventory management
CBIH_LB11_GET_STOCK_TOTAL	Calculates the warehouse stock for agents to which materials are assigned that are processed in inventory management
CBIH_LB11_QTY_GET_VALUES	Serves as a copy template to create your own determination routines

Prerequisites

Customizing

You must have processed the IMG activity Specify Measurement Items in Customizing for Industrial Hygiene and Safety. Here you must have assigned the required function modules for value determination to the agent types.

Application

In order to be able to determine material movement data and stocks for an agent, you must have:

Assigned the respective agent to a work area

Assigned to this work area the storage locations from which you want to transfer values using the data integration function

Enhancement of Function

If you want to determine amounts from another SAP component you must do the following:

In Customizing, define the object whose amounts or quantities you want to determine as an integration object for the data integration function

You will find the documentation on setting up integration objects under Specify Integration Objects for Work Area Management in Customizing for Industrial Hygiene and Safety.

Create the corresponding determination routine using the copy template CBIH_LB11_QTY_GET_VALUES

Features

Amounts are determined on the basis of a search query you specify. The search result is displayed in a proposal list in which you can select the relevant values.

Creating the proposal list

You can restrict your search according to agent, work area, or amount attributes, for example.

The system calculates the existing amounts on the basis of the search parameters you specified and displays them in the form of a proposal list (hit list).

Deciding what to transfer in the proposal list

In the proposal list you decide which amounts you want to transfer and which you do not.

For all data records you choose to transfer, the system creates the corresponding data records automatically in the amounts.

Release process

You can then run the release process for the newly created amounts. See Status Editing for Amounts.

Activities

You call the function by choosing Agents ® Amount determination in the Industrial Hygiene and Safety menu.
