Deleting Listing Conditions for Distribution Centers 

Use

This function checks the listing conditions of distribution center assortments and deletes the listing conditions if the articles belonging to it are no longer listed in any store. By doing this you prevent further replenishment of these articles in the distribution center. This is particularly important if you are using SAP Forecasting and Replenishment (SAP F&R).

Process Flow

...

       1.      On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics ® Retailing ® Master Data ® Assortment/Listing ® Mass Maintenance ® Deletion of Listing Conditions for DC,or start report WRF_RWSORT_DC_DISCONT.

       2.      You choose the relevant distribution centers by using the selection criteria Articles, Merchandise Category, Layout Module and Distribution Center to restrict and determine the time for which the system should perform the check. In addition, you determine whether the system should perform processing in one package, or in several packages simultaneously.

       3.      The system determines the relevant articles in three steps.

                            a.      If you have used articles or merchandise categories for restriction purposes, the system preselects the articles.

                            b.      If only F&R-relevant objects are to be checked, the system determines the F&R-relevant article/distribution center combinations from table FRE_DB_ART_SITE.

                            c.      If you have made your selection using layout modules, the system determines the relevant articles by determining all the layout module versions that expired on the deletion day from table WLMV. To do this, the system checks all articles that are assigned to one or more layout module versions whose validity has elapsed.

For performance reasons, the system only considers articles that are just assigned to layout module versions that have expired, not those assigned to the current version, or a future layout module version.

       4.      The system checks all the article/distribution center combinations that have been determined. If you have selected parallel processing, the system performs the check simultaneously in several packages. For each package it calls function module WRF_DISCONTINUE_DC.

       5.      The system displays the analysis result if the Test Mode indicator is set, or deletes the listing conditions found.

Result

The program displays the result of the analysis. If you did not set the Test Mode indicator, it deletes the listing conditions that were found.
