General presentation
Objective of the application
Provide "Make or Buy" information in the SpP Raw Material process to deliver a Manufacturing adjusted cost.
This information is provided by Finance or Controlling and based on several calculations on their side, and therefore not available in SAP.
The indicator "Usage factor" must be manually populated by the Business at Material Group / Finished Product / Raw Material / Plant level for the 4 rolling quarters to come.

Rules & Explanations
BW Logic
The Critical Raw Material Master Data C_FLRMAT is used to identify the “Make or Buy” Products.
The source of this information is located in PF1 system for SpP, where the table ZFI_ICM_CRITIC is populated by Business through transaction ZCRIT.
The field “Critical flag” (C_FLRMATF) is used to identify “Make or Buy” Products as follows:
“I” : Critical Internal
“E” : Critical External
The BW data flow logic is based on an intermediate buffer ADSO, allowing the save of the previously input value from Business, and the update from the latest data coming from DTS_CV_FMCO_MORB_SPP
The chronology is the following
- Load full content of Planning ADSO to Buffer ADSO
- Load DTS_CV_FMCO_MORB_SPP to Buffer ADSO
- Delete full content of Planning ADSO
- Load full content of Buffer ADSO to Planning ADSO
- Update “Usage factor” in Planning ADSO from workbook
The Planning ADSO is then source of the Manufacturing data flow, where the quantity from the BOM will be replaced by the usage factor from the workbook and multiplied by the price in the Raw Material Forecast calculation.
Therefore, the Raw Material Forecast price must have been confirmed before the "Make or Buy" process.
The datasource is based on calculation view CV_FMCO_MORB_SPP
First step - join between C_FLRMAT (filter flag 'I' or 'E') with ABCOPRIC (BOM DSO for SPP) based on the Raw Material (BOM component) to get finished product (C_MATNR2)
Then a join with C_MATNR2 master data to get Material Group
In TRF DTS_CV_FMCO_MORB_SPP -> ABCOPC21, the 4 quarters to come are generated
