Importing stock level data to APO from systems other than SAP R/3

[Former Member]

We are planning to replace a legacy production planning system with APO PP/DS in a bulk liquid chemicals environment. SAP R/3 inventory levels for some products are not always accurate (mainly due to delays in confirming production, consumption, goods receipting POs etc.). For this reason the legacy planning system currently uses inventory data from our plant information system (which gets the inventory data comes from tank level instrumentation).

Is there a way to import stock level data from such a third party system to APO instead of using the stock data from SAP R/3?

Thanks,

Laurence.

Absolutely possible. You can create a wrapper around program /sapapo/ctmtestdatacreate that picks up the product, location and stock quantity. Or you may use the BAPI BAPI_STSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI to create stock. Either ways, you cannot do without development.

Srinivas,

Many thanks. Looks like BAPI_STSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI has been replaced by BAPI_STSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2.
