Use

In Define General iPPE Customizing, you make one-off settings for Integrated Product and Process Engineering (iPPE). These settings should not be changed once the system is in operation.

You can make settings for the following areas:

  • General iPPE Customizing:

    The settings you make here concern the way iPPE cooperates with other systems and functions.

  • Define PVS Parameter:

    The settings you make here concern the maintenance of variants in the product variant structure. You can define whether the class type 300 is to be used as the standard value in iPPE. If you enter a class type here, you cannot enter a class type in the iPPE Workbench when you create or edit iPPE objects; the system automatically proposes the class type 300.

  • Define Color Supplement Key:

    The settings you make here concern the maintenance of color nodes (color scheme) and color variants.

    When you make the settings for the color offset and the length of the color supplement key, You need to be aware that with the SAP Advanced Planner und Optimizer that

    • the material numbers of the colored materials ALWAYS have the same length.
    • the color neutral components always have the same length as the colored components, and that the component of the material number, which is filled via the color supplement key, appears as a phantom.
      • This is necessary to prevent problems during transfer to the SAP APO System.
  • Define Start-Up Parameters:

    Start-up parameters control whether you can use a component variant with a change number and a future effectivity in an earlier phase of production. This is the case when a characteristic value defined in the classification system is also defined as an effectivity parameter in Engineering Change Management and is used in a change number.

  • Effectivity Parameter Description:

    The settings you make here control that the effectivity parameter used for effectivity type PVSECM in Engineering Change Management correspond to those used for the configuration simulation in the iPPE Workbench. The effectivity type PVSECM is provided as standard.

  • Events and Change Documents:

    The settings you make here control whether the corresponding functions are active or inactive.

Do not change the settings once the system is in operation.

When you want to transfer products to APO, you can assign these a key via the user exit APOCF005 that indicates from which system the product/ material comes from.

Requirements

Standard settings

The following settings are provided as standard:

  • The field Explosion Type for Component Variants has the value History by Valid-From Date.
  • The field Class Use has the value Class Differentiation.
  • The field Color Offset has the value 15 and the length of Color Supplement Key is 3.

Activities

To make general settings:

  1. From the Cross-Application Components Customizing, choose Integrated Product and Process Engineering (iPPE) -> Define General iPPE Customizing.

    The screen General iPPE Customizing Display / Change will appear.

  2. Make the required settings.
