Function documentationDisplaying and Processing Order Proposals for Location Products

 

This function lets you display the data in the Order Proposals for Location Product screen and maintain some of it.

Integration

When you enter a value in a modifiable field for an order proposal, the system displays a save symbol in the changed line and updates the following screens:

  • Time Series for Location Product

    After you change the order proposal quantity or order unit of a location product.

  • Exceptions for the Location Product

    After you save, if the system generated exceptions for the location product.

  • Restrictions for Order Proposal

    After you change the order proposal quantity or order unit of a location product.

  • F&R Application Log

    Shows any exceptions or information messages generated by the system, such as rounding information or details of location products with a temporary replenishment block.

Prerequisites

  • You have fulfilled the prerequisites for Displaying and Maintaining Data for Selected Location Products.

  • You have focused on a location product in the Selected Location Products screen and display the existing order proposals for that location product.

  • You can only change order proposals that are not locked (no change lock) and have not been released.

Features

  • You can click the order proposal number to navigate to the Replenishment Workbench. If you do so, the system does not use any default selection you have defined, but instead displays only the selected order proposal in the navigation tree and in the detail screen. When you return to the Product Workbench, the previous focus on a selected location product is restored. The worklist may be refreshed depending on whether or not you created or deleted order proposals in the Replenishment Workbench.

  • You can change the order proposal status manually. If an order proposal item has not been released yet, you can click it once to release it, and again to cancel the release.

  • You can change the order proposal quantity for an existing order proposal for a location product, along with the following fields:

    • Unit of measure for order proposal quantity

    • Delivery date

    • Replenishment relevance indicator

    • Contract number (only ready for input if configured accordingly in Customizing)

    • Reason for change

    To save changes to several order proposal items, you can use the local save function in the screen section's toolbar. When you save, the system changes the order proposal items with the changed order proposal quantities in the database.

  • You can undo changes to order proposal items as long as you have not saved them yet. To do so, right-click the Save OPI field and select the appropriate item from the context menu. Alternatively, you can also select several order proposal items and click the appropriate toolbar symbol to undo the changes.

  • You can round order proposal quantities automatically and manually. For more information, see General Functions in the OPM Workbenches.

  • You can delete items from the order proposal (for example, using the context menu for an item number). When you delete an order proposal item, SAP F&R blocks the corresponding order proposal against parallel processing. If the order proposal only contains one item, the system deletes the entire order proposal.
