1 PurposeThis configuration guide provides the information you need to set up the configuration of this building block manually and perform an availability check against product allocations in the SAP SCM system.

1.1 PrerequisitesBefore you start with the installation, the relevant sections of the following building blocks have to be set up successfully:

Connectivity

The first part of the configuration of the Replication SCM building block must be finished, but the data transfer (data replication) can only take place after you have completed the following configuration activities of the ATP with Product Allocation building block:

Configuration for SAP ECC and Configuration in SAP APO Before Data Replication.

1.2 SAP Notes Building Block ATP for Product AllocationCurrently, you do not need to install any SAP Notes for this scenario.:



2 Configuration Part 1 – Before Data Replication

This section covers all configuration steps that have to be performed in SAP ECC and SAP SCM before initial data replication can take place.

2.1 Configuration in SAP ECC

You must finish these configuration steps before starting the data replication in the building block Replication.

2.1.1 Changing the Item Category Group in Material Master Using Mass Maintenance

UseThis section describes how to change material master data using mass maintenance.

Be careful when using the mass maintenance transaction. You may inadvertently change more materials than intended by specifying an incorrect range.

You can undo changes by selecting Undo Changes.

13. Choose Save and confirm the warning message.

14. Save and go back.

2.1.2 Creating Requirements Class

UseRequirements classes control the creation of planned independent requirements or sales orders and customer requirements. The following examples are determined by the requirements class:

- consumption of independent requirements by sales orders

- release of the planned order

- how warehouse stock is taken into account (net or gross requirements planning)

The requirements class is assigned to the requirement type and later transferred as the check mode to the SAP SCM side. In this activity, you create a new requirements class used for the ATP for Product Allocation scenario.

Procedure1. Access the activity using the following navigation options:

SAP ECC IMG Menu SAP Customizing Implementation Guide Sales and Distribution Basic Functions Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements Transfer of Requirements Define Requirements Classes
