PP/DS : BAPI to modify setup duration in transactional data

[Former Member]

Hi,

We use an external application for short-term scheduling, connected to APO PP/DS using BAPIs. Version is SCM 5.1

The issue is that the setup matrix is not maintained in APO but only in the external app. In order to synchronize the PP/DS planning, we would like to upload the duration of the setup activities in the transactional data.

Is there a functional module or BAPI to do that ?

BAPI_MOSRVAPS_CHANGEACTIVITIES is very usefull but can only change start OR end date, active mode and status of an activity. It does not change its duration.

Thanks

Hi Francois,

Try the below function modules

/SAPAPO/DM_SETUP_GROUP_COPY

/SAPAPO/DM_SETUP_MATRIX_COPY

/SAPAPO/OM_SETUPMATRIX_CHANGE

/SAPAPO/CMAT_SETUP_OBJECTS_GEN

Hi Senthil,

Thank you for your reply, but we consider maintaining setup matrix in APO as a last resort.

The objective for us is to find a way to upload the duration calculated outside APO directly in the production order's activities.

In other words, we want to "force" a duration for the activity.

If this is possible, it would be a lot easier and less time consuming than trying to maintain setup matrix and setup keys.
