Activities
Set up your system as described in the ALE installation procedure. This procedure can be found under SAP Library -> SAP ERP Central Components -> Scenarios in Applications -> ALE/EDI Business Processes -> IDoc Interface: EDI Application Scenarios (BC-SRV-EDI) -> ALE Scenario: Material Master Distribution.
Complete the following steps:
- Set up the client
- Define a logical system name for the client
- Specify the technical communication parameters
To send stock material prices, and the prices for sales order stock and project stock, you must create a distribution model for each stock type:
In the Implementation Guide, choose SAP Web Application Server -> Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Modeling and Implementing Business Procedures -> Maintain Distribution Model and Distribute Views
- Choose Create Model View
- Enter a technical name (for example, SENDPRICE) and a description.
- Define a sender and receiver
- Position the cursor on the model view and choose Add BAPI
- Enter the sender and receiver system, and enter MaterialValuation as object and PriceChange as method.
- Save the distribution model
Create two more model views with objects ValSalesOrdStock and ValProjectStock, each with method PriceChange.
Complete the remaining steps for the ALE implementation:
- Generate partner profiles in sending system
- Distribute distribution model
- Generate partner profiles in receiving system
Once you have created the distribution models for sending material prices, you need to maintain the receiver settings in the receiving systems.
Here, you need to define the following for each valuation area:
- Whether price changes allowed if stock already exists.
If price changes are allowed, the system creates a revaluation posting using transaction MR21. - A threshold percentage value for relative price increases, after which a warning message will be issued.
- A threshold percentage value for relative price reductions, after which a warning message will be issued.
- A threshold percentage value for relative price increases, after which an error message will be issued.
In this case, the price changes will not be accepted by the system. - A threshold percentage value for relative price reductions, after which an error message will be issued.
In this case, the price changes will not be accepted by the system.
