DP->SNP Question

[Former Member]

Hello to all!

We have following situation:

We planning fixed quantities (quotes) in Demand Planning

How can we transfer this "quotes" as Stock to SNP (not as FA) because we want to use this data as stock not as requerments? Can we do it while transferring data from dp to snp or we can assign specific info cube with this data to a key figure 9astock in planning area adminstration?

Please suggest a solution!

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Andrey,

you can use standard "Release to SNP" only with FA, FC, FB, FD categories (these are all forecast categories). We experimented a lot with standard release functionality trying to make it release stock or any other non-forecast category (as we have similar requirement) but w/o any success. In the end we came up with custom interface which use BAPIs in order to create stocks from Infocube.

Did you already try with /SAPAPO/LCIN ?

In the key figure assignment the Type of Source-Target Mapping.

It could help.

Basically our solution was the following:

1. Stocks were uploaded to BW infocube (we uploaded from Excel) but you can do it directly from DP in case needed (just use key figures of type 002 - infocube key figure)

2. During the upload for each row in infocube we executed BAPI_STSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2 in order to generate this stock as receipt in the livecache. We used not standard atp category CC but custom one (Z1)

3. In the planning are settings we added Z1 categoty to the ATD category group

You can use transaction BAPI in order to search for BAPIes.
