Defining a Filter for Planned Orders

Note Note

Defining a filter as described below is required for SAP ERP 6.00 – 6.04 and 6.05 only if the business function LOG_PP_MES_INT_02 is not activated or SAP Note 1555198Information published on SAP site is not implemented. Starting with SAP ERP 6.05, you can distribute planned orders by means of the Data Replication Framework (DRF) (see SAPMEINT: SAP ERP Configuration). You can define the criteria for distributing planned orders by maintaining suitable filter criteria within an ERP standard transaction. For more information, see Integration of Planned Orders (Repetitive Manufacturing).

End of the note.

You can define an action code for transferring created planned orders and assign it to the relevant orders using the transaction MDAC.
