 Creating Rules

Use

This section contains information about creating rules in integrated rule maintenance.

Prerequisites

You have created substitution procedures, the rule control and, if necessary, calculation profiles .

If you want to use substitutions from master data (with condition technique) with a filter, you have defined a filter for substitution types .

Procedure

  1. From the SAP Easy Access screen, select Start of the navigation path Advanced Planning and Optimization Next navigation step Master Data Next navigation step Rule Maintenance Next navigation step Integrated Rule Maintenance End of the navigation path .

  2. In the Overview frame, choose ( Maintain Rule) .

  3. Choose Rule → Create and enter a sort key (maximum 10 places) and a description (maximum 40 places).

  4. Choose Enter .

    The fields in the Details frame are now active.

  5. Enter a rule type and choose Enter .

  6. Specify the number of substitutions. In addition, specify to which entity the number of substitutions refers.

  7. If you want the substitutions from the rule to be transferred to a consolidation location, define a consolidation location. If you do not want a consolidation to take place, set the Direct Delivery Without Consolidation indicator.

  8. If you have defined a consolidation location, you specify whether you want the system to perform a delivery date correlation in the consolidation location.

  9. If you want the rule to take part in the reassignment of order confirmations , you set the Activate Reassignment of Order Confirmations indicator.

  10. Choose one of the following tab pages depending on the substitution and enter the procedures, rule control, and, if necessary, the calculation profile:

    • Product + Loc. Subst .

      If you want to specify a location determination procedure and a product substitution procedure for the rule, choose the Product + Loc. Subst. tab page.

    • INC MD Product + Loc. Subst .

      If you want to specify a location determination procedure and a product substitution procedure for the rule from the interchangeability master data, choose the INC MD Product + Loc. Subst. tab page.

    • Loc. Prod. Sub.

      If you want to specify a location product substitution procedure for the rule, choose the Loc. Prod. Sub. tab page.

      Note Note

      Note that you cannot use product substitution procedures or location determination procedures in a rule together with a location product substitution procedure. Such a rule would produce non-deterministic results.

      End of the note.

    • InC MD Loc.Prod.Subst.

      If you want to specify a location product substitution procedure for the rule from the interchangeability master data, choose the InC MD Loc.Prod.Subst. tab page.

    • Chars Subst.

      If you want to specify a characteristic substitution for the rule, choose the Chars Subst. tab page.

  11. Save your entries.
