CMI and Transportation Lane

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We are working on VMI scenario. We need to create Transportation Lane between our DC to each customer location and assign products to each location. We mantain CMI (Customer material Inforecord) in R/3 which has delivery plant/Shipping plant for each material/Customer combination.

The question is can we create TL based on CMI record using standard CIF?

Thanks,

HI NIranjan

i dont think its possible to CIF customer material info record to create T lane. I was just going thru help documents and came thru creation of talens for customers by ciffing sales scheduling agreements

Check the link below if its of some use to you.

Hi Virendra,

That what I thought, but we don't use Sales Scheduling agreements then what is way to create TL in VMI scenario (That is TL between our DC to Customer location). The only other option is create manually in APO, but we have 100s of customers and that really time consuming and Client didn't like.

Thanks,

Havent used eCATT ...:)

but then for the matter of fact APO Loader is also one of the options which is more

preffered than LSMW because of the ready available formats. IF interested you can download the zip file

on APo loader from note 551972

one of our clients also has more than 1500 customers mapped and 60-70 ware houses

We use LSMW it works good

Hi Niranjan,

We used APOLoader due to its readymade formats, it is a cool functionality for extending Product to locations(customers).

You can use object type Product_location_version.
