Features

If you activate the Material Exchange with ATP Check (AD_MRO_CI_2) business function, the following material exchange enhancements are available:

  • Archiving of interchangeable parts

    It is no longer possible to archive:

    • Materials that are still in FFF classes

    • FFF classes that still have assigned materials

    • Documents that are still assigned to a restricted interchangeability relationship

  • Material exchange using the ATP dialog box popup for plant maintenance orders, production orders and network orders

    The ATP dialog box for plant maintenance orders, production orders and network orders has been enhanced with a new column Selected Quantity for the interchangeable parts. Here you can select materials directly from the ATP dialog box. Previously, you had to adjust the maintenance order manually according to your selection. The selected quantities are checked against the original item quantity and then the materials you select on the dialog box are transferred back to the maintenance order.

  • Freely Define Interchangeable Materials

    You can use new BAdI BADI_ADPIC_IC_MATS (BAdI: Define and Filter Freely-Defined Interchangeable Materials) to:

    • Add materials with which the original material cannot normally be exchanged. In other words, it is possible to add materials that do not belong to an FFF class, restricted interchangeability relationship, or supersession chain, so that the system treats them as valid materials for replacing the original material in the subsequent steps of the process.

    • Freely define interchangeable materials. In other words, it is possible to treat a non-interchangeable material as interchangeable.

    • Freely filter interchangeable materials. It is possible to remove interchangeable parts according to MPN master data (FFF class, restricted interchangeability relationship or supersession chain) so that they are not considered interchangeable in the subsequent steps of the process. Additionally you can remove interchangeable parts from other implementations of the BAdI.

  • Material exchange during goods issue in goods movement transaction MIGO

    • You can sort the exchangeable materials/batches found during material exchange in MIGO during goods issue. The automatic quantity distribution and display of the materials on the material exchange screen is carried out based on this sorting sequence. The default sorting sequence is as follows: First the original material/batch, next all other materials/batches sorted by their available quantity in descending order. To influence this behavior, you can use BAdI BADI_ADPIC_MIGO_GI_SORT.

    • You can use BAdI BADI_ADPIC_MIGO_GI_SER to filter the serial numbers found during material exchange in MIGO during goods issue. Only those serial numbers which pass the checks implemented by this BAdI are considered for further processing. In Customizing under   Logistics - General   Interchangeability of Parts   Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)   BAdI: Determination of Serial Numbers.  

    • You can additionally change the initial table display in the following ways:

      • You can define if materials or storage locations are displayed at the higher level in the tree.

      • You can define if these serial numbers should be maintained manually or automatically in Customizing for   Logistics — General   Interchangeability of Parts   Set Up Screen for Material Exchange in Goods Movement Transaction (MIGO)   Screen Settings   Serial Number Determination  .

      • You can define if you display selected items or all.

  • Material Exchange in Documents Created with Reference to Contract

    If a purchase order item is created with reference to a contract and a material exchange is carried out, the subitems no longer refer to the original contract. As a result of the material exchange, the purchase order item may contain materials that are different to those in the contract. The system displays a message so the user knows that there is no reference to the original contract and the contract is not updated. You can make a Customizing setting to change the message type (error, warning, information). If a purchase order item referring to a contract was already saved, material exchange is no longer possible for this item. The reference to the contract must be deleted manually and the document saved. If you delete the reference from the item, material exchange is possible again.
