Introduction:
The deployment function in SNP plans the short term distribution of the produced or
procured products to the distribution centers.
It determines “when” and “in what” quantity, inventory and planned receipts can be
deployed to distribution centers and VMI accounts.
There are several deployment strategies that can be used, such as, Fair share, Push
deployment and pull-push deployment etc.
As it is not necessary that all business scenarios fall under these strategies, SAP has given a
provision for USER-DEFINED distribution for both Fair share and Push deployments.
Scope:
Recently, we have adopted this strategy for one of the clients, where in, the business case
goes as follows,
- The production happens every alternate day. So, Fair share & push deployment
also should work both in tandem in alternative days.
Meaning, one today, Fair share should be applied and the next day, push
deployment should be applied.”
As there are no documents available about these strategies, I thought of making one, so it
will be beneficial for the needy
ones.
Pre-requisite:
Product Master Setting: SNP2 Tab-> SNP Deployment Profile
1) Push Distribution: should be maintained as ‘U’.
2) Fair Share Distribution: should be maintained as ‘X’.
2. 3) Maintain required category groups for ATD Receipt and ATD Issue in product master, with
respective order category groups.
ATD Qty = ( ATD Receipt - ATD Issue ) is considered as net qty, available for deployment.
One can define order category groups in customizing,
SPRO->Advanced Planning and Optimization->Supply Network Planning (SNP)->Basic
Settings->Maintain Category Groups.
3. Technical Details:
Badi’s to be implemented in the system –
/SAPAPO/SDP_DISTR for Push distribution
/SAPAPO/FS_USER for Fair share.
Custom logic has to be incorporated in the following methods of the badis,
Method: DISTRIBUTE_USER_DEFINED for Badi /SAPAPO/SDP_DISTR.
Method: DEPLOY_USER_DEFINED for Badi /SAPAPO/FS_USER.
The signature of both methods comprises of most important parameter
‘CT_DEPLOG’ of type Changing. The custom logic in the badi, should manipulate
with this table parameter data.
The field ‘CONFMNG’ of CT_DEPLOG is actually refers to the Deployment Confirmed Quantity
for a product-location combination of a particular deployed date. One should populate this
field with the right quantity, to get desired results. (Don’t mess up with other fields like
RDDMDDI).
The field ‘DMDDI’ of CT_DEPLOG refers to the demand for that product-location in that
particular deployed date.
The changing parameter, ‘CT_ATD’ gives the Available to deploy (ATD) quantity, for
deployment.
The other changing parameter, ‘CT_DEPLSTOCK’ gives the information about the Stock
Levels at Destination Locations Converted to the Source.
Log Details:
Once deployment is run is through /SAPAPO/SNP02, the application log is available in the
same T-Code (Display Logs button) or also can be accessed by ‘/SAPAPO/SNPAPLOG’.
4. Deployment Stock Transfer gives the information about the deployment orders,that got
created in that run.
Deployment Results (Details) gives the information in more detailed level(like ATD,Roll
forward,Deployed Qty, Storage Qty, Target Stk etc).
To enable the Deployment Results (Details) for USER-DEFINED deployment strategy, as
shown in the screenshot, populate the changing table parameter 'CT_ATD' with ATD
quantity for each bucket.
Technical aspects of Application Logs:
All Application logs are stored in various CLUSTER TABLES like BAL_INDX, BALHDR, BALDAT
etc. So in order to access, log
data has to be imported into memory from these clusters. SAP has provided various function
modules,
BAL_LOG_EXIS
BAL_DB_SEARCH
BAL_DB_LOAD
BAL_FILTER_CREAT
BAL_LOG_MSG_READ
/SAPAPO/MSDP_LOG_DISPLAY in handling all these application logs.
