Create approved manufacturer parts list (AMPL)

To maintain the AMPL manually in SAP SNC, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose  Supply Network Collaboration Master Data Product Maintain Approved Manufacturer Parts List, or on the SAP SNC Web UI, by choosing  Master Data Master Data Product Approved Manufacturer Parts List . For more information about transferring AMPLs from the customer’s back-end system via Core Interface (CIF), see Integration of Approved Manufacturer Parts List with CIF.

Activate MPN confirmations

You determine whether the supplier can edit MPN data in purchase order confirmations or ASNs. You can, for example, determine that the supplier can only edit MPN data in ASNs or only in PO confirmations. You make the settings in Customizing for SAP Supply Network Collaboration by choosing  Purchase Order Make General Settings for Purchase Orders (on the Create Approval Profiles view).

Activate copying of request MPNs to purchase order confirmation (optional)

You determine whether the SAP SNC automatically copies the requested MPN to the purchase order confirmation. To do so, you must activate the PO_REQ_MPN_COPY validation check. This is particularly important, if the supplier is not allowed to edit MPNs in purchase order confirmations and you want the purchase order confirmation to contain the request MPN.
