Safety Stock Values changing automatically

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Safety Values are changing automatically from SB to MZ and Safety Stock Value changing automatically from 'some value' to '0'.

Chronology of events:

1. Material created in 2013 in ECC and CIFFED to APO

2. Saftey Stock value and method maintained as 0 and MZ.. In ECC, no values are maintained for any of the Safety Stock fields in MRP2 tab.

3.Safety Stock value and Method changed manually to 2500 and SB in APO.

4. One day, Safety Stock value changed back to 0 and MZ automatically.

Now, the problem is that in the APO product Master change log, there is no account of Step 3 and 4 happening!!

In ECC also, no changes have been made to the Material Master except for the field value for 'Storage location MRP indicator'

Any idea what could have triggered this?

Thanks,

Kunal

Hi,

Have you done any initial transfer of materials?

Thanks,

Hi Kunal.

Whenever the Location-Product is sent from ECC to APO, the Safety Stock Method will be overwritten in standard - if cif was triggered for the material after Storage Location MRP indicator was changed, this explains why/how Safety Stock Method changed.

You can create on APO side an implementation of BAdI SMOD_APOCF005, Method EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLCIF_PROD_001 in order to prevent Safety Stock Method from being changed during cif.

You can use coding below as an example for the BAdI implementation:

LOOP AT IT_MATLOCX. " go through all materials

  IT_MATLOCX-MSDP_SB_METHOD = ' '. "Method for Calculating Safety Stock

"should not be overwritten

  MODIFY IT_MATLOCX.

ENDLOOP.
