Different scheduling based on order types

[Former Member]

Hello Experts

We have GATP implemented in our current landscape, where we use condition technique and time stream ids attached to the location master in APO to schedule shipping activities.

Currently both sales orders and STOs use the same time strem ids which govern the possible shipping days but recently the business has come up with a new requirement where they want to use different shipping calendars for sales orders and STOs.

Can you please suggest how this will be managed and if there is a standard configuration we can use ?

We are using SCM 5.1.

Thanks in advance!!

I assume you are using the 'traditional' condition technique and not the condition technique within CPS. You can meet your requirement with CPS.

Only issue could be that you would have to create new condition tables/ access sequences/ etc for CPS and as far as know you will not be able to use the 'old' condition table with CPS.

If this is not acceptable, you might be able use customer exit APOSC001 or APOSC002 to do this.

Hi Sujay,

You can just use the scheduling exit - EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLVCRM_002 to change the calendar according to the order type...otherwise you can also use the CPS scheduling. But a change to CPS is a bigger efffort than using the scheduling exit.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

We checked the exit but unfortuneatly there are no fields for Order Type in it. Can you please suggest some transactional table in APO which has Order Number & Order Type fields in it?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Sujay,

If you want to use the order type (field AUART) in the scheduling you need to transfer it in the field catalogue to APO first.

You will then find it in ct_fields in the EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLVCRM_002. Please have a look at note 385039, where you find a description for "User_Exit_Catalogue_Value". Here you need to add the AUART entry. The same information is needed and should be added in EXIT_SAPLV03C_APOINT_001 (check note 379196)...so that the first scheduling call gets also the AUART information. Otherwise you will not get consistent results from the scheduling.

best regards,

Michael
