Function documentationCompleteness Checks

 

In the case of mandatory integration of planned receipts with the customer's SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO) system, the system checks the planned receipts for completeness and consistency before sending them.

Note Note

If the integration is optional, the system does not run any completeness checks before sending the data.

End of the note.

If the data is complete and consistent, the system creates an XML message of type ProductActivityNotification and sends it to SAP APO. The completeness check is as follows:

  • The system checks if all periods in the customer horizon contain data. If a period does not contain data, the system rejects the sending of the time series. However, if the period that does not contain data lies in the past and can therefore not be maintained the system does not consider it for sending.

  • The system checks whether the ends of the sending horizon and the customer horizon are the same. If the horizon ends do not match, the system creates a warning message.

    Note Note

    In the report, you can enter the sending horizon in the report selection criteria. On the Web UI, the planning horizon of the Order Forecast Monitor is the sending horizon.

    End of the note.

To use this function, you must activate the business function Supply Network Collaboration 1 (SCM_SNC_GEN_1).
