Function documentationInbound Interfaces for Purchasing Organization Data

 

You can import the following data to SAP F&R:

  • Purchasing organizations

  • Purchasing organization assignments

Integration

  • SAP F&R copies purchasing organization data in the following places:

    • In the source of supply data (as an attribute of the transportation lane)

    • In the master data:

      • The list of all purchasing organization data and its text description

      • All assignments of purchasing organizations to locations and the indicator for the standard purchasing organization of the location

  • The following Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) let you make customer-specific changes to the imported purchasing organization data:

    • BAdI: Enrichment of Purchasing Organization Data (/FRE/IF_CON_BADI_025)

    • BAdI: Enrichment of Purchasing Organization - Assignment Data (/FRE/IF_CON_BADI_026)

    For more information, see the SAP Implementation Guide (IMG) for Forecasting and Replenishment under Start of the navigation path Interfaces Next navigation step Enhancements Using Business Add-Ins End of the navigation path.

  • You can display the purchasing organizations and purchasing organization assignments that have been imported to SAP F&R but you cannot change them.

    The system shows in mass processing of locations if purchasing organization assignments exist. If they do exist, you can display the purchasing organizations assigned to the target location together with the indicator for the standard purchasing organization.

    Note Note

    Changes to the purchasing organization assignments are only possible by way of a new initial or delta data transfer.

    End of the note.

Prerequisites

  • You have made the settings for interface processing and set the indicators for purchasing organizations and purchasing organization assignments there under selections for product/target location.

  • If the system is to take purchasing organization assignments into account in source of supply determination, you have made appropriate settings in client-specific Customizing of the master data. For more information, see the IMG for Forecasting and Replenishment under Start of the navigation path Master Data Next navigation step Define Settings at Client Level End of the navigation path.

Features

  • You can transfer purchasing organization data and purchasing organization assignments in SAP F&R using the complete initial data transfer. Report FRE_EKORG_ASSIGN_INIT_LOAD lets you start an initial data transfer from the SAP Retail system for the purchasing organizations only.

  • You can carry out a delta data transfer of locations from an SAP Retail system. Here the system also transfers the assignments of the purchasing organizations to locations.

  • If the system (see prerequisites) takes the imported purchasing organization data in the source of supply check into account, it uses only the transportation lane where the purchasing organization is assigned to the target location. If multiple transportation lanes exist, the system uses the one with the standard purchasing organization.

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.
