Sending Scheduling Agreement Confirmations to SAP APO
In the service parts planning scenario, the supplier can send scheduling agreement confirmations that he or she created in release processing or in extended confirmation management of SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) to collaborative management of scheduling agreement releases (CMDS) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO). The send function requires SAP APO 5.0 or higher.
The supplier can call up the function on the Confirmations
tab page of the release details screen. Note that the function is not available on the confirmation screen used in ECM.
Activities
If you want to send the scheduling agreement confirmations to SAP APO, choose Save + Send Confirmations
. SAP SNC sends all confirmations that are displayed on the Confirmations
tab page and that do not have one
of the following statuses:
Draft
Request
(only relevant for confirmation requests in ECM)Closed
Canceled
SAP SNC generates an XML message (DeliveryScheduleConfirmation
) and sends it to SAP NetWeaver. SAP NetWeaver maps the XML message to the DELCONF.DELFOR01
IDoc and sends the IDoc to SAP APO. A corresponding XSLT mapping is available.
In the standard system, SAP SNC sends the XML message directly in the background. However, you can also change the configuration so that SAP SNC uses the Post Processing Framework (PPF) to send the XML message. For more information, see Publication of XML Messages.
