Function documentationDisplaying Switchover Information

 

You use this function in order to display the switchover information generated by the inbound interface for switchover and switch back information and also that generated in SAP F&R.

Example Example

You display which switchover information is valid for a specific date and you determine which product substitutions exist in a specific DC.

End of the example.

Integration

  • In the case of switchover information for a replacement relationship, SAP F&R creates one or more item records for a header record. With a switchover to the replacement product, SAP F&R attempts to bundle the incoming switchover information. This is possible if the imported data records match with reference to original and replacement product and also location, only the transmitted switchover time differs and the check rules are adhered to. In this case, the system creates a header data record with multiple items that only differ with respect to their switchover times. If SAP F&R cannot bundle the imported switchovers to the replacement product, the system proceeds according to special rules. For more information, see Rules for Processing Incoming Switchover Information.

  • In the case of switchover information for a follow-up relationship, SAP F&R creates exactly one item record for a header record. SAP F&R does not bundle switchover information in the case of a switchover to the follow-up product and proceeds here also according to specific rules. For more information, see Rules for Processing Incoming Switchover Information.

Features

Selection

You can select switchover information according to location-specific, product-specific, and substitution-specific criteria.

Output

The system displays the header and item data separately for the selected switchover information.

In the header data, you can display the following data, for example, in addition to the location or product data:

  • Substitution control

  • DIF occurrences

    Numbers of the DIF occurrences created by the system

  • Cumulative stock balance (of replacement product)

    SAP F&R calculates it based on the goods receipt information in the order proposals.

  • Merge Period

The item data contains for each header line one (in follow-up relationships) item record or multiple (in replacement relationships) item records with detailed information on the order document.

The extended substitution control in the item data indicates, in addition to substitution control, for what reason a switchover has occurred, for example, if the switchover has taken place in the logistics system or if SAP F&R has created a new one.

The system indicates if it is a switchover or a switch back (or more than one):

The system shows the data for an item in two lines:

  • The first line contains order data for the original product.

  • The second line contains order data for the substitute product.
