Product Selection for the SNP Transport Load Builder
You use this function to create product selections in the Transport Load Builder (TLB) in Supply Network Planning (SNP).
Using this method of product selection, the system locks only the selected products, and more than one planner can work on the same transportation lane. Product selection filters the deployment stock transfer list, but does not filter the TLB shipments and order items. If a TLB shipment contains non-selected products, it is read-only. If a shipment contains only selected products, it remains editable.
To use this function, you must activate the business function SCM-APO, Chart Usability (DP/SNP), Merging Orders (CTM)
(SCM_APO_DP_SNP_CTM
). For more information, see SCM-APO,
Chart Usability (DP/SNP), Merging Orders (CTM).
You can filter your products and save the filters as profiles.
You can load the selection profiles you saved at a later point in time.
In TLB Interactive Planning
, choose the Product Selection
pushbutton. The dialog box that appears allows you to select or exclude single products and product ranges. The system filters the products that it displays based on your
selection. You can then save the selection as a profile for later use by clicking the right side of the Product Selection
pushbutton and choosing Save current as new
. The Save current selection
option allows you
to modify already loaded profiles.
To load multiple profiles, choose Manage selection profiles
, and select the profiles you want to work with.
If you want to adjust product selection on the level of code, use the Business Add-In (BAdI) /SAPAPO/MSDP_TLB_ENH
. The BAdI has the following methods that you can use to adjust product selection:
TLB_ADJUST_PRODUCT_SELECTION
This method allows you to specify product selection, even on the level of the planner. The settings you make in this method cannot be modified in the Transport Load Builder user interface using the product selection function.
TLB_SHIPMENT_SELECTION_ALLOWED
This method allows you to make the product selection valid for TLB shipments, and shipment items as well.
