Function documentationCreation and Enrichment of Switchover Information

 

SAP F&R evaluates the substitution assignments as well as existing switchover information, it creates switchover information, and enriches imported and newly created switchover information.

Integration

Features

  • The system evaluates substitution assignments and active switchover information and reacts to these as follows:

    • it creates a switchover to the follow-up product as soon as the switchover period for the corresponding substitution assignment has expired, and if no switchover (to the follow-up product) yet exists for the original product.

    • in the case of a switchover to the replacement product, it creates a switch back as soon as the switchover period for the corresponding substitution assignment has expired, and if no switch back yet exists.

    • it enriches active switchover information with further data (for example, with the substitution merge profile from the substitution assignment) or it creates DIF occurrences.

  • You can start the generation and enrichment of switchover information as follows:

    • Manual call-up of the report /FRE/UI_SUBSTSW_PROCESS with selection by location number and date

    • Starting the program logic using the dispatcher of the F&R Processor

    • Periodic scheduling of the report /FRE/UI_SUBSTSW_PROCESS using a background job

    Recommendation Recommendation

    We recommend that you generate and enrich the switchover information on a daily basis.
