In this IMG activity you maintain the basic settings for communication between the ERP System and Forecast & Replenishment (F&R). Without these settings, no communication between these systems can take place.
Each client can have only one setting. This setting affects orders, master data, DIFs, procurement cycles, central PO calenders and time series interfaces.
Example
Requirements
In this IMG Activity the global Setup for Data Transfer to SAP F&R has to be done
This Documentation gives some additional hints for the use of this IMG Activity.
For detailed Information about each possible Setting use F1 Help of each Field!
Frame "General":
F&R Active:
This Flag must be checked to enable Data Transfer to SAP F&R. From the moment this Flag will be checked, Change Pointers for new and changed Purchase Orders will be created. To prevent a huge number of not necessary Change Pointers and as a consequence thereof a dramatic decrease of Performance in Delta Processing of open Orders, this Flag should be marked a short time period before the first Transmission of open Orders to F&R!
Release:
Depending on the Release of the connected SAP F&R System, Release specific Functionality will be shown to the User and performed or not.
Send to F&R by RFC:
The SAP F&R System can be called directly via Remote Function Call (RFC) or via XI. System Administrators know about the System Landscape to decide if this Flag should be marked or not.
RFC Destination:
The RFC destination to the F&R System is maintained in TA SM59.
Logon/server group:
The Server Group for parallel Processing is maintained in TA RZ12.
Max. number of parallel Processes:
A System Administrator should decide how many Work Processes will be reserved or will be possible in a defined Server Group for parallel Processing of Data Discovery and Data Transfer to SAP F&R.
Frame "General Interface Activation":
In this Frame single Interfaces can be switched on or off to prevent resource-consuming Data Discovery of not necessary Records.
Frame "File Handling":
Outbound Interface / Master data Interface:
A released directory (either for each interface or one for all interfaces) is required in the Network. The requested physical Directory must not be a local Directory on an Application Server! The Directory must be created e.g. via NFS and reachable for and mounted to all Application Servers in the Network that are used to Logon to the ERP. This will be don by an Administrator.
The logical path to be entered here, that points to the physical Directory for storing the data transmitted from ERP (open Orders and Master Data) as file is maintained in TA FILE.
No. of Days:
If no entry will be done here, no Backup Files will be created. This increases Performance of Transmission but it deprives yourself of the possibility of Retransmission of Data in case of Errors during or after Transmission of Data to SAP F&R!
Standard settings
Recommendation
Activities
Maintain the basic settings for data transfer.
