SAP F&R requires the following information: the servers (or server group) on which the programs of the F&R Processor are installed, where SAP F&R can store the data for communication, and the locations for which you want to calculate automatic replenishment. You cannot perform automatic replenishment with SAP F&R without these settings.
You must reserve sufficient memory space for the data from automatic replenishment that is required for communication.
You configure the control settings for automatic replenishment in the following administration areas:
Administration for system data
Administration for locations
To start administration for the F&R Processor, go to the SAP Easy Access
screen and choose .
Administration of system data
You have to configure the server on which the programs of the F&R Processor are installed and the server on which the system can store the files for communication. The system calculates the relevant paths automatically.
You can define whether SAP F&R should perform parallel processing on the server and how big the packages for the various process steps (replenishment calculation, DIF processing, and importing and exporting of files) should be.
Administration for locations
You must set the following for each location:
Activation period
You define the start and end dates of the time period for which you want to perform automatic replenishment.
Server location
Enter the server on which SAP F&R is to store the data for communication.
Process control for location
Assign a process control profile. The process control profile defines the days on which the F&R Processor performs automatic replenishment, for example.
Additional activities (beyond regular process control)
You can specify a date to schedule additional steps that you want FRP to perform outside the configured frequency:
Initialization of the following data:
Historical time series (parameter initial consumption data
)
Demand influencing factors (parameter initial DIFs
)
Configuration data (parameter init. tech.
)
