Maintaining a Product Storage Definition
A product storage definition in SAP SCM is a separate business object assigned to a source of supply (SOS). The allowed storage resource alternatives, along with their priorities, are defined for each product storage definition.
Prerequisites
You have defined the following before creating a product storage definition:
A source of supply, for example, a production process model (PPM) or production data structure (PDS)
A container resource
The following conditions have been met in order to automatically integrate product flow data with the product storage definition when generating the PDS or PPM:
Enhancement package 4 for SAP ECC 6.0 is available.
The recipe for a material is present in SAP ERP. Product flow maintenance in the recipe is optional; if product flow is not maintained, only a blank storage definition will be created in SAP SCM during PDS or PPM generation.
You have created an active integration model to send recipe data as PDS or PPM.
Procedure
To create a product storage definition, complete the following steps:
On the
SAP Easy Access
screen, choose
Advanced Planning and Optimization
Master Data
Product Storage Definition [folder]
Product Storage Definition
.On the selection screen, enter one or any combination of a source of supply (PPM or PDS), product, or location, then choose
Execute
.
NoteIf in display mode, switch to editing mode by choosing
Display/Change
.End of the note.Select a source of supply and choose
Display Storage Materials
.Choose the
Assign Product to SOS
.Select one or more products and choose
OK
.Set the consumption type.
Select one of the newly added products from the list in the
Products for Source of Supply
screen area of theProduct Storage Definition
screen, and chooseDisplay Resource Alternatives
or double-click the product name.Choose
Assign Resource Alternatives
in theAlternative Resources
screen area.In the
Resource
column, enter one or more storage-capable container resources with the same location as the source of supply.Assign a priority to each alternative resource.
Save the data.
Integrating Product Flow Data with Product Storage Definition During PDS or PPM Generation
You have defined product storage data as product flow in the recipe in SAP ERP. Use the BAdI as described below to automatically integrate this data with the product storage definition in SAP SCM when generating the PDS. Note that this integration works only in the direction from SAP ERP to SAP SCM.
On the
SAP Easy Access
screen, go to Tools
ABAP Workbench Utilities
Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)
Definition
.Select the
BadI Name
option.Enter /SAPAPO/CURTO_CREATE in the
BAdI Name
field.Choose
Create
from theEnhancement Implementation
menu.Enter an implementation name, then choose
Continue
.Enter a short description in the
Implementation Short Text
field, and go to theInterface
tab screen.In the list of methods, double-click
CREATE_STORAGE_DEF
, or select it and then choose Implementation
Activate
.Save the data.
Proceeding to the
Class Builder
screen, set method parameter EV_TRUE toX
.
To automatically integrate the product flow data with the product storage definition when generating the PPM, complete the following steps:
Activate the BAdI method in Customizing for SAP SCM under
Integration with SAP Components
Integration via APO Core Interface (CIF)
Application-Specific Settings and Enhancements
Enhancements of Production Process Models (PPMs)
Inbound Processing of Production Process Models
Influence Production Process Model Data in APO Inbound Processing
(/SAPAPO/PPM_INBOUND → CREATE_STORAGE_DEF).Proceeding to the
Class Builder
screen, set method parameter EV_TRUE toX
. NoteWhen the BAdI is activated, direct creation of product flow in PPM is not allowed and produces warning and error messages if ignored.
End of the note.
