In this IMG activity, you define the product proposal procedure and determine the order in which the system creates the materials for the product proposal from individual data sources.

In the definition, you determine:

  • The number of periods that should be displayed in sales doc. procesing. This means that if you use the order history as a data source, how many order quantity columns there should be in the sales document.
    Note:
    You can define a maximum of twelve columns in the sales document.
  • The period in which the historic order quantities should be compressed (day, week, month)
    Note:
    If you do not activate a period type, each column in the sales document contains the quantity from one order.

For example:

Order      Creation date      Material   Quantity
1000           01/13/99           Mat 1      1
                                  Mat 2      2
1001           01/14/99           Mat 1      3
1002           01/14/99           Mat 1      3
1003           01/18/99           Mat 3      4
1004           01/22/99           Mat 1      5

Product proposal: Number of orders:

Material  01/22/99  01/18/99  01/14/99   01/14/99  01/13/99
Mat 1         5                  3           3        1
Mat 2                                                 2
Mat 3                  4

Product proposal: Cumulated per day:

Material 01/22/99  01/18/99  01/14/99   01/13/99
Mat 1     5                    6        1
Mat 2                                   2
Mat 3                4

Product proposal: Cumulated per week:

Material  Week 03  Week 02
Mat 1     5        7
Mat 2              2
Mat 3     4

  • The output format of the column headings (date, weekday, calendar week, or month)
    Note:
    Ensure that the column heading matches the period type you have chosen. If you want individual columns to have different headings, you must program this specifically in the function module that the system accesses. This also applies if you want different calculation operations to take place in individual columns (for example, totalling).

The access sequence determines the order in which the system access the data sources you have specified and how it should combine the partial results from the accesses to a product proposal. In order to do this, the system needs the following information:

  • Name of the function module that evaluates the data source (here you can store your own function modules)
    The following function modules are defined in the standard system:

Function module name                 Data source
SD_DPP_CUSTOMER_MATERIAL_INFO        Material from customer-info record
SD_DPP_EXCLUSION                     Material from exclusion
SD_DPP_HISTORY                       Material from order history
SD_DPP_LISTING                       Material from listing
SD_DPP_PRODUCT_PROPOSAL              Material from product proposal 

The function module called SD_DPP_READ is only for reading the product proposal from the database if you are generating the product proposal in the background. You must specify this function module in the access sequence for the online procedure.

WARNING

If you combine the background determination with a determination in the Online site, the function module SD_DDP_READ must always be listed as the first function module in the Online procedure.

  • Freely-definable parameters (function module attributes) for controlling the function module
    The parameters you enter here are transferred as values to the function module. For example, you can specifiy the name of a certain item proposal that the system should access, or the name of the information structure for a statistical evaluation.
  • Activity indicator for the function module that specifies how you should proceed with the materials or the end result determined by the function module. To form the end result of the product proposal, you can carry out one of the following operations:
    • Indicator A: Add
    • Indicator B: Remove (for example, for excluded goods)
    • Indicator C: Check and compare (for example, for listed goods)
    • Indicator D: Mix result externally
      This indicator is designed for when you want to use operations or calculation rules to determine the end result but indicators A, B, and C do not meet your requirements. You have to save the operations for mixing the result in the function module itself. If you then choose indicator D, the end quantity determined at this point is transferred to the specified function module, where the system then runs the operations stored there. The final result is then used as the product proposal.

The following table illustrates how the activity indicators work when determining a product proposal:

Activity      Result of         Result of             Result after 
indicator previous current current access
accesses access

  • Indictor that specifies which data source (for example, order history, item proposal, listing), the product proposal comes from. This indicator is displayed in the sales document so that you can see where the product proposal was determined.
    Note:
    If the same material in the product proposal comes from several sources, for example, from the order history and from an item proposal, the system displays the indicator in the sales document for the first data source it accessed.
  • The sorting sequence of materials in the product proposal as displayed in the sales document. It controls which materials should appear first in the product proposal for th
