Creating FFF Subsets

You use this procedure to create Form-Fit-Function (FFF) subsets for an FFF class .

You can create FFF subsets in two ways:

You have maintained product master records for the products and the locations that you want to use in the interchangeability group.
You have assigned the products to the locations where the interchangeability groups are created.
You have created FFF classes.

From the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Advanced Planning and Optimization Master Data Application-Specific Master Data Product and Location Interchangeability Maintain Interchangeability Group .

The Interchangeability Groups screen appears.
Choose the FFF class for which you want to create FFF subsets.
On the Details tab, choose Create FFF Subset .

The Subset Group Details screen appears.
Choose the Subset Members tab and add the relevant products.
Choose the Subset Header tab and enter the required data.
Choose Check Subsets to carry out the consistency checks on the FFF subset as defined in Customizing.
You can view the error messages and warnings by choosing Error Log .
Choose Analysis Log to see which validations were carried out (see Consistency Checks for Interchangeability Groups ).
Save the FFF subset by choosing Save .

From the SAP Easy Access menu, choose Advanced Planning and Optimization Master Data Product and Location Interchangeability Master Data Maintain Interchangeability Group .

The Interchangeability Groups screen appears.
In the search area select group type FFF Class and choose Find .
In the application toolbar, choose Generate FFF Subset .

The Mass Generation of FFF Subsets from FFF Class screen appears.
Enter the FFF Class group number or the range of FFF classes for which you want to create subsets.
Enter a Location or range of locations for which you want to generate the FFF subset.
You can choose the following options:
- Active Model off
  
  If you set this indicator, the current model will not be considered for the FFF subsets.
- Assign Lead Part Manually
  
  If you want to select the leading product of the FFF subset manually set the Assign Lead Part Manually indicator. Otherwise the system determines the lead product automatically. The system takes the first member of the FFF class.
- Allow User Change
  
  If you set this indicator, you can select the FFF subsets manually from a list that will be generated by the system after executing the mass generation.
Choose Execute.

Analyze the log regarding any errors that occurred when creating the subsets.
