Hi, I'm an ABAP resource and my client is implementing APO SPP solutions and has a below mentioned requirement.
The product groups that are based on dynamic data (data that changes over time) will need to be automatically updated in the system. The following product groups are required in the system and need to be automatically updated on real time basis:
- Material Type: ZCAP and ZSTK – Capital materials and other materials
- 3 Product Classifications (M6, M9, M10)
- Consumption pattern (Stable, Intermittent, Sporadic) – Depending on no. of zero consumptions in a time period. Example if over 50% of time the consumption is zero, we will consider the consumption as sporadic
- External Material Group (GENT, DIST, TRAN, COGN) – To differentiate businesses
- Division
my questions:
1. what is the transaction code to view the product groups in APO?
2. brief on product classification and consumption pattern?
3. how would i get these details from ECC and would it be passed to APO through CIF or some RFC function module
4. how would these details be updated in APO?
please provide details from technical perspective.
thanks in advance for your help.
