Supplier collaboration with SNC

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We intend to use Supplier collaboration with SNC, where plant will share component plan with supplier and supplier will comeback with constrained component plan and based on which plant will modify production plan.

These are the steps we have done:-

1) Created BP as Organization for Plant and Supplier

2) Created BP as person and assigned to plant and supplier respectively

3) Extended product to the supplier and created TLane

4) We are able to login into web portal for supplier view with login and password maintained.

issue are:-

1) We understand that, component forecast will come from APO and it will come to as demand. If we see Demand Tab and look at Order Forecast Monitor - > Order forecast details, it asks for selection of SKU and Location. If we select our SKU and vendor Location created, it says Invalid Selection......Not sure if we have missed anything.

2) When vendor will confirm the plan, which key figure he will modify?? which Tab we have to refer.

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks,

Hi Jaideep,

First you check whether ODM's are activated or not.

In SNC ODM activation prerequist step before transaction data.

You can refer SAP note 1178483 for activation of ODM or SAP note 836457.(as per your SNC version)

If you are done with the OSS notes.Remember to activate the time series data.This is important step to start demands flowing into SNC.

Hi Jaideep,

It depends on which business processes are being used.Best way is to download the OSS note 1178483 and implement the advised solution as per our requirement.

Thanks and regards

Hi Gurus,

Yes, the OSS helps and we are able to see product location in the Order Forecast details screen.

We are checking Key figure " Supplier Planned Receipt" which supplier will use to modify his plan against customer requirement.

Wondering this key figure is Non Editable for our case....then how supplier will enter his constraint plan?? Any help

Are we missing any customization to make key figures editable/non editable like Planning Book in standard APO?? plz help

Hi Jaideep,

The Supplier Planned Receipts Key figure in OFM becomes an editable field for supplier when you choose the Grid Arrangement "Overview - In Transit Information - Multi Sourcing Mode".

Hi Jaideep

When we run RSMIPROACT report in ECC it sends the forecast/demand data to SNC and which can be viewed in order forecast monitor.

Could you please explain more about the issue and how the systems are integrated?

Thanks
