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.



Tool Leader + IT leader of the application: Name of project or main leader for the application + reporting coodinator

Usage information

How many users? Which user category ? Is there critical period ? Which geographical perimeter? Describe in one sentence: around 50 users, worldwide or 200 users / European Site

History

Provide some history of the application : When was it created ? What was the initial project ? Who was the original requestor ? If possible provide link to the project information

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 

  1. Load full content of Planning ADSO to Buffer ADSO
  2. Load DTS_CV_FMCO_MORB_SPP to Buffer ADSO
  3. Delete full content of Planning ADSO
  4. Load full content of Buffer ADSO to Planning ADSO
  5. 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

Reporting Layer

Aggregation Level

ALCOPC16   FL - Raw Mat Make or Buy - MG

The Aggregation Level is encapsulating the Composite Provider, with the exact same output structure.

All characteristics and key figures of the ADSO are selected to guarantee the Planning functionalities in the query/workbook.


Virtual Layer

Composite Providers

CPCOPC14   FL - Raw Mat Make or Buy - MG

The Composite Provider is encapsulating the Planning ADSO, with the exact same output structure.

The navigational attribute C_PLANT__C_AUTHMA is added to handle authorizations on Scope in the query.

Data loadings

Info providers and objects loaded


PC_COPC_15 - COPC: TD - D - RMAT Make or Buy (Mat Group)

Loading frequency

Detail of frequency : monthly; weekly or else

Average performance

if possible, give some information on average process chain duration, amount of data loaded and total data volume example: daily process chain loaded in 30 min, weekly chain loaded in 1h15, with around 2k to 10k lines in DELTA mode for a total of 10M lines in cube. The purpose is to give a general overview of the volume of data managed y the application


Key FigureEstimation
~ Average Process Chain Runtime
~ Average nb of rows loaded per load
~ Total nb of rows loaded (if full)
~ Average Runtime for 10k lines

Record Keeping

Give details if any historisation is done, example: keep only data greater than beginning of Y-3

Reporting

Queries End User Documentation

Query end user documentation should be created in the public "Customer Support Wiki" space under the corresponding BW application page : BW - Application. Technical query query documentation, if necessary should be added as a sub-page of this documentation using the BW Technical Query Documentation template.
