Function documentationInbound Interface for Procurement Cycles

 

You use this interface to import procurement cycles from other systems into SAP F&R. SAP F&R requires the procurement cycle within scheduling in order to determine the order days and delivery days.

Integration

  • In order to be able to use the procurement cycle in replenishment planning, you must assign a delivery relationship to it. You can assign this assignment either interactively in SAP F&R using mass maintenance of transportation lanes for products (/FRE/MASS_TRPROD) or when you import the supply network (of external procurement data).

  • You can use the Business Add-In (/FRE/IF_CON_BADI_017) to enrich and change the imported procurement cycle data. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Forecasting and Replenishment under Start of the navigation path Interfaces Next navigation step Enhancements Using Business Add-Ins Next navigation step BAdI: Procurement Cycle Data Enrichment End of the navigation path.

Features

You use this interface to define, modify, and delete procurement cycles in SAP F&R. You can import the following information:

  • Procurement cycle type (for example, delivery cycle or order cycle)

  • Planned delivery time

  • Period with unit of time (daily or weekly cycle)

Activities

  1. The integrated sending system starts the transfer and calls appropriate function module for the interface in SAP F&R. For more information, see the Overview of the Interfaces in SAP F&R.

  2. You then post the data in SAP F&R.
