Lesson: Mass Maintenance of APO Master Data
Exercise 2: Mass Maintenance of APO Master Data
Exercise Objectives
After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
• Make various APO product master settings for requirements planning with mass maintenance
Business Example
The products required for production planning in APO have already been transferred from ECC. You need to supplement this data with settings that can only be made in APO.
Task:
The product masters of pump T-F2## and the essential components of the relevant BOM in plant 1000 that are required for planning have been transferred from ECC to APO. Various settings are APO-specific and cannot be taken from ECC.
In the exercises below, you will use mass maintenance of master data to extend the PP/DS horizon, the SNP production horizon and the planning group in the product masters.
1. In APO, start the transaction for mass maintenance of master data and enter
“Product” as the object type on the initial screen.
Then select the products to be changed in the “Selection Criteria” screen area. To do this, use the F4 help to select:
Component Header Data Attribute Product for the “Component” field.
Enter the following product numbers in the relevant selection: T-F2##, T-B1##, T-B22##, T-B3##, T-B4##. Restrict the selection to plant 1000 by using the F4 help to select the following entry in a new row:
Component Location-Dependent Data Attribute Location Enter 1000 as the location.
Then enter the fields to which the new values are to be transferred in the Components and Attributes to Be Maintained screen area. Note that changes to the SNP production horizon may be prevented by a supply profile, so that you may also have to reset the supply profile. Make the following entries:
Component Location-Dependent Data Attribute Supply Profile Component Location-Dependent Data Attribute PP/DS Horizon
Continued on next page
Component Location-Dependent Data Attribute SNP Prod.Hor.
Component Location-Dependent Data Attribute Planning Group First, Save the selection as variant T-GRP## and enter any short text.
Then press Select to execute the selection.
Confirm any messages you receive and then choose Change with Display of the hits to be able to run a visual check before the actual change. Check the location-dependent data that is currently entered. Is the SNP production horizon displayed for all of the location products you selected?

Why (not)?

Now delete the existing available supply profile by setting the relevant fixed value to blank in the mass selection and choose Make Changes. The SNP production horizons for all location products are then displayed. Now enter the following fixed values for all selected products (choose Set Fixed Value in each case):
PP/DS Horizon: 60 days
SNP Production Horizon: 60 days
Planning Group: ##
Choose Make Changes and then Save. Ignore any messages that appear.
2. Finally, access one of the product masters you have just changed (for example, T-F2## in plant 1000) and check the relevant fields. Do they contain the new data?

a) SCM menu path: Advanced Planning and Optimization → Master Data → Mass Maintenance
Is the SNP production horizon displayed for all location products you selected? No, an SNP production horizon is only entered for some assemblies.
Why not? A supply profile is defined in the product master of some of the assemblies. This contains an entry for the SNP Production Horizon field and prevents direct maintenance.
2. Finally, access one of the product masters you have just changed (for example, T-F2## in plant 1000) and check the relevant fields. Do they contain the new data?
