Material Exchange Using SCM

Streamline Plant Maintenance in SAP ERP with Rules-Based ATP in SAP SCM
Benefits

Business Function: AD_MPN_SCM

Provides powerful rules-based ATP check in SAP SCM for components in plant maintenance Improves order processing with early technical permissibility check of components during update Supplies global ATP and technical permissibility check in PM order: IE4N and CCM2 can work with identical I&S data maintained in SAP SCM Sustains powerful I&S functionality using master data and rules evaluation Can be used for the modeling of complex technical interchangeability data

New Features
Check components of a PM order against equipment configuration Automatic advice code entry for the reservation of a component of a PM order SCM maintained I&S data used in configuration check and parts installation Rules-based ATP in SAP SCM for availability check of components of a PM order

Description

Target Users for this Business Function

Can check components of plant maintenance orders (e.g. if they are allowed to use or allowed to install superior equipment) Evaluates material interchangeability data maintained in SAP ERP or SAP SCM When reserving a component of a PM order, an advice code can automatically be entered after rules-based ATP (when accepting the ATP results, caused a material exchange in the component record). The configuration check in the CCM2 transaction and the permissibility check during parts installation in IE4N evaluates the parts interchangeability data maintained in SAP SCM.

A rules-based ATP check can be performed for a component of a PM order. The proposal results of the RBA can be taken into the component list. In case of material exchange or location substitution, new component records are entered and the original component record is eventually removed.

Material exchange using SAP SCM maintained I&S data in MIGO SCM maintained I&S data used in configuration check and parts installation Rules-based ATP in SAP SCM for availability check of components of a PM order Material exchange using SAP SCM maintained I&S data in MIGO

Description

Target Users for this Business Function

The material exchange function in MIGO uses material interchangeability data maintained in SAP SCM. It is thus available for posting goods issue for orders, for stock transport orders, for reservations, and for posting goods receipts for purchase orders -- but not for stock transport orders. The configuration check in the CCM2 transaction and the permissibility check during parts installation in IE4N evaluates the parts interchangeability data maintained in SAP SCM.

Feature: Check components of a PM order against equipment configuration

Delivered by Business Function AD_MPN_SCM

Components of plant maintenance orders are checked against an allowed configuration ( i.e. MPL structure) of the reference equipment of an PM order. The check against an allowed configuration evaluates interchangeability data of the material in the PM order component. These interchangeability data can available in SAP ERP or in SAP SCM.

Feature: Automatic advice code entry for the reservation of a component of a PM order
Delivered by Business Function AD_MPN_SCM

When reserving a component of a PM order, an advice code can automatically be entered after rulesbased ATP. The advice code is entered into the material reservation after accepting the ATP results, caused a material exchange in the component record. The advice codes determination depends on the PM order priority and Pm order type.

Do not have automatic advice code entry for the reservation of a component of a PM order, so further material exchanges cannot be avoided

Business Value
Provides automatic advice code entry for the reservation of a component after material exchange, thus avoiding further material exchanges and processing

Feature: SCM maintained I&S data used in configuration check and parts installation
Delivered by Business Function AD_MPN_SCM

The configuration check in the CCM2 transaction and the permissibility check during parts installation in IE4N evaluates the parts interchangeability data maintained in SAP SCM. Interchangeability data evaluation in SAP SCM, can be performed based on master data defined in SCM ( FFF-Classes, Supersession chains and so on) and / or based on rules defined in SAP SCM. With rules in SCM an installation point specific interchangeability functionality is possible.
