Function documentationTransfer of Configurable Materials or Batch-Managed Materials via CIF

 

If you, as a customer, are using an SAP ERP system as a back-end system, you can transfer the SAP ERP master data – in particular, classified materials, classes, and characteristics – to SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) using Core Interface (CIF).

Transferring Configurable Products via CIF

For a configurable material, which is allowed for a finished product in the work order only, you use a class of class type 300 in SAP ERP. You must cif the configuration class to SAP SNC. When you cif the configurable material, a configurable product is created in SAP SNC, that is, the configuration class of class type 300 is assigned to the product in the product master of SAP SNC.

Transferring Batch Classes and Batch-Managed Products via CIF

For a classified batch-managed material, you use a class of class type 023 in SAP ERP. If SAP SNC is installed in the SCM system, batch classes and classified batch-managed products are transferred to SAP SNC as follows:

  • When you cif a class of class type 023 and the assigned characteristics to the SCM system, a class of class type 230 is created in the SCM system with the characteristics assigned to it. (A class of class type 230 is needed by SAP APO only). In addition, a class of class type 232 is created for use in SAP SNC. The class type 232 is assigned the class type 230 as reference class type.

    Note Note

    Using the class type 230 as reference class type, a relationship is established between the SAP SNC class type 232 and the SAP ERP class type 023.

    End of the note.

  • When you cif a classified batch-managed material to the SCM system, a classified batch-managed product is created, which is assigned the class with the class type 232.
