Function documentationAssignment of Products to BOD

 

Through the function for assigning products to the BOD, you specify the products to which and the validity period for which a bill of distribution (BOD) is to apply.

To allow for the assignment of large volumes of location product to the BOD, if there are missing location products in the BOD, the system adds them to the application log and then continues processing the rest of the location products. In this way, you have an overview of the missing location products from the application log, but they do not stop the assignment process.

To be able to have the system skip missing location products when assigning products to a bill of distribution in Service Parts Planning (SPP), you must activate the SCM-APO-SPP, Service Parts Planning 1 (SCM_APO_SPP_GEN_1) business function. For more information, see SCM-APO-SPP, Service Parts Planning 1.
