Use

You create an integration model for R/3 master data (BOM, routing, and master recipe) to transfer data to the SAP APO. During the transfer, the system generates a production data structure (PDS) that provides the basis for planning in SAP APO. You use the integration model to define what type of PDS is generated in SAP APO.

You can implement BAdIs that influence the results in SAP APO.

Prerequisites

You have created the master data in SAP R/3 (BOM, routing, master recipe).

You have created a production version in SAP R/3 for each product that you wish to plan in SAP APO.

Do not create a production version if you wish to create an integration model for a phantom assembly (option Bill of Material ).

Create Integration Model for Transferring BOMs, Routing, and Master Recipes

On the SAP Easy Access screen in SAP R/3, choose Logistics → Central Functions → Supply Chain Planning Interface → Core Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer → Integration Model → Create .

The Create Integration Model screen appears.

At the top of the screen:

Enter a unique name in the Model Name field.

Enter the RFC destination you have defined for SAP APO in the Logical System field.

Enter a description in the APO Application field. This is for information only.

Choose the option PDS (R/3) and then Further Restrictions in theMaterial-Dependent Objects group box.

In the General Selection Options for Materials group box, enter the materials, plant, and additional data for the product that you wish to transfer to SAP APO.

Depending on the data you require for planning in SAP APO, enter the following information in the Production Data Structure group box:

PDS Type

Determines what type of PDS is generated in SAP APO. You can implement BAdIs that can be applied to the generation.

Production Version

Determines which data is transferred.

Routing Select.

Determines which routing and master recipe is copied from the production version to the integration model.

The relevant PDS is generated in SAP APO based on the information provided in the Production Data Structure group box.

Choose Execute

The Create Integration Model screen appears.

Save your data.

Create Integration Model for Transferring Phantom Assemblies

On the SAP Easy Access screen in SAP R/3, choose Logistics → Central Functions → Supply Chain Planning Interface → Core Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer → Integration Model → Create .

The Create Integration Model screen appears.

At the top of the screen:

Enter a unique name in the Model Name field.

Enter the RFC destination you have defined for SAP APO in the Logical System field.

Enter a description in the APO Application field. This is for information only.

Choose the option BOM and then Further Restrictions in theMaterial-Dependent Objects group box.

In the General Selection Options for Materials group box, enter the materials, plant, and additional data for the product that you wish to transfer to SAP APO.

Depending on the data you require for planning in SAP APO, enter the following information in the Material BOM group box:

PDS Type

Determines what type of PDS is generated in SAP APO. You can implement BAdIs that can be applied to the generation.

Usage

Determines which data is transferred.

Alternative

Determines which routing and master recipe is copied from the production version to the integration model.

The relevant PDS is generated in SAP APO based on the information provided in the Production Data Structure group box.

Choose Execute

The Create Integration Model screen appears.

Save your data.

If no routing has been specified in the production version, the system:

Generates an activity with the duration of the planned delivery time from the purchasing info record for a PDS with subcontracting in SAP APO.

Generates an activity with the duration of the planned delivery time from the product master for a PDS without subcontracting.
