Using Fields from the Field Catalog
Create a field catalog in Customizing for SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM). For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for
SAP SCM
under
.
To maintain a field catalog for rules-based ATP, choose .
Choose
New Entries.
Generate the selection list using the input help (F4) and choose the fields that you want to use as parameters by double-clicking.
At runtime, these fields are filled with data from the OLTP system (for example, with data from the sales order). You can also enter the data manually, if you want to carry out a simulation in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO).
The following fields are exceptions:
MATNR
WERKS
RULE_MATNR
RULE_WERKS
LOCFR
LOCTO
They are, in part, dynamically filled at runtime (see SAP Note 655833).
Save your entries.
Including Additional Fields in the Field Catalog
You can use the customer-specific fields that are not contained in the field catalog. To include customer-specific fields in the field catalog, you have to do the following:
Create a data element (data type) to receive unique text information for the customer-specific field in the field catalog.
Add the customer-specific field to the structure /SAPAPO/KOMGOZ
Add the customer-specific field to the field catalog.
Copy the source code into the include in the ERP system.
To do so, proceed as follows:
On the
SAP Easy Access
screen, choose
.
Select the
data type
in the initial screen, enter the name of the customer-specific data element, and choose
Enter
.
Use the namespace „
Z“
to designate that you are using a customer-specific data element. A dialog box appears when the
data element
has been selected.
Choose
Continue
.
A message indicating that the object is in the customer namespace appears. Continue creating the data element.
Enter a short text in the
Short description
field and enter
CHAR40
in the
Domains
field. Maintain the text information on the field name tab.
This text information is used to display the fields in the field catalog that refer to this data element (Z_WERK, for example).
Save the data element.
Activate the data element.
Return to the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select the structure, enter
/SAPAPO/KOMGOZ
, and choose
Change
.
Specify the name for the component and the data element for the component type. Save and activate the structure.
