Assignment of node type in DRP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I f I define a Plant in R/3 and didnot define a node type in R/3 SPRO>DRP> Assign node types.

But when I Cifed the material to APO, it is transferred automatically as 1001.

1. How does the system know that it is a Location type 1001? or is it the default?

2. Are there any other settings that help the system decide the location type?

I noticed the R/3 SPRO> Enterprise Structure>Definition>Logistics - General>Define Location.

Thanks.

a plant is usually defaulted as 1001

unless you change the associated entry in the customizing table in the basic settings of DRP customizing

(customizing step Node Type Assignment --> Maintain Plant )

you can assign the following nodes here and they get mapped to the location types when they are CIFed into APO

A Store

B Distribution center

CD Customer warehouse

DC Distribution center

EW Central warehouse

PL Production plant

TS Stock transfer point
