Rules based product substitution in STO

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to have Rules based product substitution in STO ?

I have done config for check instructions. when I click availability check in STO line item , the check instructions shows Rules based, when I click on Rules icon , getting message "No rule strategy or rule strategy sequence found for / /"

You are trying to perform a rules-based ATP check using the following activation parameters from the OLTP system:

Technical scenario

Business transaction

Action type

what will be business transaction in case of STO UB doc type , we assign this to sales order type only.

my Technical scenario: AA online, action type A create.

Thanks,

AD

AD,

Not for Stock Transport Requisitions. From SAP Help

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/a9/21e93a96233343e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

see the statements about halfway down the page. RBA is not available for STRqs nor Production orders.

Hi AD,

It works using Requirement profile. You assign requirement profile to P.O Doc type example requirement profile Z11.

ECC> IMG->MM> PURCHASING->PURCHASE ORDER>SETUP STO-->ASSIGN DELIVERY TYPE AND CHECKING RULE. Here you assign Requirement profile to PO Type and Supplying Plant example UB.

Create the same Requirement profile in SCM. IMG->General settings-->Demand Profile --Maintain Requirement profile.

here you will have option of assigning Business Transaction, Rule strategy etc.

I did the same configuration for test purpose in a standard system (Non Aerospace and Defense) and found it working as far you do in simulation mode in SCM /SAPAPO/AC04 - Global ATP -> Reporting -> ATP Simulation .I got sub item in APO for product substitution.

Make sure you check RP active and specify your Requirement profile.

When I am calling ATP from ECC, I get Rules in the Requirement Profile tab , but when I clicked on Rules icon I get the same message which you are getting, but in the message it shows business Transaction , Technical scenario and system is unable to find Rule strategy.
