Master Data

Master data that can be sent to an optimization program includes:

Materials
Bills of material
Routings
Work centers
Work center hierarchies
Resource networks
Factory calendars
Object classifications
Product group
Transition matrix

The interface only supports the exchange of the entire data record. Currently it is not possible to send changes made since the last exchange of data between the SAP system and an external system .

Once the master data has been selected, it can either be transferred manually or in a batch job.

IDocs are created for each business object. The IDocs are clearly structured so they can be read more easily by the external system.

By reducing the IDocs, it is possible to use and define additional message types (see the implementation guide for ALE).
