Documentation
Definition
Determines if external capacity planning takes place in third-party order processing.
Use
In the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP) back-end system, when you create the sales order using the item category and corresponding schedule line categories from Customizing, you determine whether or not a sales order item is a third-party item for which planning takes places in the SAP Supply Chain Management system (SAP SCM). If the Customizing indicator External Capacity Planning is set for the schedule line category, the system executes external capacity planning in the SAP SCM system (SAP SCM). This lets you take account of the vendor#s capacity restrictions.
You can use a Business Add-In (BAdI) to define customer-specific criteria for which the system checks if external planning should be executed for a third-party item and determines the item category accordingly.
Dependencies
The SAP ERP system creates a third-party purchase order requisition, blocks it, and transfers the data to SAP SCM. Planning then takes place in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization component (SAP APO). When the planner releases the third-party order requisition in SAP SCM, the SAP ERP system removes the block so that you can create a purchase order and complete third-party order processing.
You have activated the following business functions:
- The Outsourced Manufacturing 2 in ERP Operations business function (LOG_MM_OM_2) in SAP ERP
- The SCM APO, Third-Party Order Planning in APO business function (SCM_APO_DRS_PLAN) in SAP SCM
You have set up an integration model in Core Interface (CIF) to transfer the third-party order requisition data from SAP ERP to SAP APO.
The system checks authorization to unblock the purchase requisition based on the following objects:
- M_BANF_EKO (Purchasing Organization in Purchase Requisition)
- M_BANF_EKG (Purchasing Group in Purchase Requisition)
- M_BANF_BSA (Document Type in Purchase Requisition)
- M_BANF_WRK (Plant in Purchase Requisition)
You make the Customizing settings in Customizing for Sales and Distribution under Sales -> Sales Documents in the following Customizing sections and activities:
Customizing section Sales Document Item:
- Define Item Categories
Check the item category for external third-party order planning. You can use the following default value: Item category TPP (third-party item with external planning).
You can use the standard item category TAS (third-party item) as a copy template.
Note:
You do not necessarily have to define a new item category for Customizing of external third-party order planning. You can also set up third-party order planning for the item category TAS (standard third-party item), whereby all standard third-party items are considered by the SAP ERP system as planning-relevant. The default Customizing allows a better overview and differentiation of the settings for standard third-party items.
- Define Item Category Groups
Check the item category group. You can use the following default value: Item category group BTPP (third-party item with external planning).
You can use the standard item category group BANS (third-party item) as a copy template. - Assign Item Categories
Enter the following detail data, for example:
- Sales document type: SO (standard order)
- Item category group: BTPP (third-party item with external planning)
- Item category: TAN (standard item)
- Manually allowed item category in SD document: TPP (third-party item with external planning)
- Manually allowed item category in SD document: TAS (third-party item)
- and so on.
For this assignment in the purchase requisition, you can change the item category manually to TPP in order to enable external planning.
- BAdI: Integration of Third-Party Order Planning
You can use this Business Add-In (BAdI) to check, based on customer-specific criteria, if the sales order item or purchase requisition item is a planning-relevant third-party item. The system then changes the item category accordingly and triggers planning in SAP SCM. The BAdI also enables you to determine a vendor for the third-party item and a material availability date.
Notes:
- In standard third-party order processing, a vendor does not have to be specified to generate the purchase requisition. A vendor must be specified for a planning-relevant third-party item, however, otherwise the SAP SCM planning system cannot determine a vendor location.
- You can trigger the BAdI again by changing the item category manually.
- When you create a sales order, do not confirm the order until you have entered all data on the material, quantity, value, and date.
Customizing section Schedule Lines:
- Define Schedule Line Categories
You define a schedule line category. You can use the following default value: Schedule line category D1 (third-party item with external planning).
You can use the standard schedule line CS as a copy template.
Enter the following detail data, for example: - Purchase order type: TPP (purchase requisition)
Note: You can define the purchase order type in the Customizing activity Define Document Types (see below). - Item category: 5 (third-party); required value
- Account assignment category: X (all auxiliary account assignments)
- External capacity planning: Indicator set; required value
- Incompletion procedure SD document: 31 (schedule line with purchase requisition)
- Assign Schedule Line Categories
You assign the following schedule line categories to item category TPP:
- Default schedule line category: D1
- Manually allowed schedule line category: CS
In addition, you can make the following Customizing settings under Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Requisition:
- Define Document Types
Define a separate document type for your purchase requisition, such as TPP (purchase requisition for third-party order planning) and assign it the item category third-party.
