Use

This technical Business Add-In (BAdI) is part of a business abstraction layer used internally by SAP. It is not intended for reuse by customers. This technology enables individual functionality or complete applications to be called either by back-end functions or enterprise services. It is used to determine the quantity of a material that is required in the future, irrespective of whether this requirement has previously been transmitted to the vendor.

The forecast schedule line represents an anticipated future requirement. There are two other types of schedule lines:

  • Backlog. A past requirement that has already been transmitted but for which no goods have yet been delivered
  • Immediate requirement. Represents an immediate need that has not yet been transmitted to the vendor

Requirements

Standard settings

As for all BAdIs in the ES_FIP_BAL enhancement spot, a developer should never use the GET_BADI call to create an instance of this BAdI. Rather, the developer should first get an instance of the CL_FIP_BAL_FACTORY class and then use its GET_BADI method to instantiate the needed BAdI.

Example - Instantiation of the FIP_BADI_MAT_DMND_FCST_BAL BAdI

DATA:

lo_bal_factory TYPE REF TO cl_fip_bal_factory,

lo_badi_mat_dmnd_fcst TYPE REF TO fip_badi_mat_dmnd_fcst_bal.

" Get instance of the BAL factory

cl_fip_bal_factory=>get_instance(

IMPORTING eo_factory = lo_bal_factory ).

" Instantiate the FIP_BADI_MAT_DMND_FCST_BAL BAdI

lo_badi_mat_dmnd_fcst ?= lo_bal_factory->get_badi(

cl_fip_const=>co_mat_dmnd_fcst_bal ).

This BAdI was designed to run only one BAdI implementation. It uses a filter named ACCESS_TYPE to determine which implementation is to be executed. Each implementation must have a different filter. In the GET_BADI call to the BAL factory, the value of ACCESS_TYPE is automatically determined and set.

All possible values of ACCESS_TYPE:

  • 0BA

    Implementation using BAPIs and/or direct database access

  • 0ES

    Implementation using enterprise services, which allows access to different back-ends in case used functionalities are available in different systems.

  • Cnn (where nn is a one-digit or two-digit number)

    Customer implementation

The BAL factory class determines the value of the ACCESS_TYPE filter by going through the following process:

  1. Get the value from the FIP_C_BAL_BADI client-specific customizing table.
  2. If a value was not yet obtained, get the value from the FIP_C_BAL_CONF client-specific customizing table.
  3. If a value was not yet obtained, the default value as determined by the BAL factory will be used. In ERP 6.0 EHP4, this value is 0BA.

As of ERP 6.0 EHP4, 0BA and 0ES implementations exist for each BAdI that belongs to the ES_FIP_BAL enhancement spot.
