SAP System1 SCMSupply Chain Management1.1 SCM-APOAdvanced Planning and Optimization1.1.1 Product Interchangeability (New)UseThis new function manages the replacement of one product by another. Two scenarios are supported inSAP SCM 4.0.oDiscontinuation/SupersessionThis is the replacement case. The product has evolved and has been improved technically or can beproduced more efficiently. When one product replaces another one speaks of discontinuation. It ispossible to include several products in a supersession chain. This consists of several discontinuationsteps.There are two possible relationship types: forward and fully interchangeable.For the interchangeability type forward, products can only be substituted one-way, for example,product A can only be substituted by product B and not vice-versa.In the case of fully interchangeable products, product C replaces product B, but product B can alsoreplace product C.oForm-Fit-Function ClassesThis is the case where there are several products that are fully interchangeable with each other atany time; they have the same form, fit and function. However planning is carried out for one product(the leading product) but any one of the products in the class can actually be used to fulfill a demand. If demand cannot be covered, only the leading product is procured or produced.Product interchangeability applies to several APO applications.In master data maintenance you maintain interchangeability groups. These are the basis for allinterchangeability functions in the applications.Demand Planning uses the following existing functions to model discontinuation-Like modeling-Phase in/out modeling-Product split-RealignmentOther applications make use of substitution orders to model product interchangeability. There are ATPcategories for substitution demand/requirements and substitution receipts.For information on how Supply Network Planning works in detail with interchangeable products, seeProduct Interchangeability in Supply Nework Planning.Capable-To-Match supports forward discontinuation. To take discontinuation into account in aSAP AG1

SAP Systemplanning run you must make the relevant setting in the Special Strategies tab page of the planningprofile.Production Planning /Detailed Scheduling supports the discontinuation of products in the procurementplanning process and in the processing of in-house production orders, which contain components withrestricted time validity. In the transition phase after the discontinuation of a product, procurementplanning uses up any existing surplus product stock (if this is permitted) and procures the successorproduct to cover any product requirements that are still open. In the execution phase of an in-houseproduction order with interchangeable products, you have functions at your disposal that you can use toreact to short-term date/time and quantity changes, and to update the order components based on thesupersession chain. For more information see the release information for Product Interchangeability inPP/DS.Global Available-To-Promise already can substitute one product for another, if the required product isnot available. The system uses rules-based availability checks to do this. You can now decide if thesystem should use these rules or the interchangeability master data. Note that you cannot use bothmethods together. Interchangeability is relevant for ATP during the creation of sales documents,primarily sales orders, and in PP/DS during the conversion of an in-house production order.ATP also accounts for FFF classes. If requirements exist for one member of the FFF class, during theATP check the system first checks whether there are receipts for this product. If not, it also checkswhether the other members of the FFF class can fulfill the requirements.Effects on CustomizingExtensive Customizing activities are available for the master data maintenance of ProductInterchangeability. It is possible to :oChange certain settings, for instance the number ranges or which types of interchangeability groupsare activeoCustomize the consistency checks for interchangeability groupsoImplement various BAdIsSee SAP APO Implementation Guide - Advanced Planning and Optimization - Master Data - Product Interchangeability.You must maintain the number ranges to be able to work with interchangeability groups.1.1.2 Pegging-Relevant Quantity for Sales Orders (Changed)UseFor a schedule line of a sales order there is a desired quantity and a confirmed quantity. If you have notperformed an ATP check for the sales order, the confirmed quantity of a schedule line is 0. If you haveperformed an ATP check, and the ATP check either could not confirm items or could only partiallySAP AG2

SAP Systemconfirm them, the confirmed quantity is smaller than the desired quantity or is also 0.Up until now, the confirmed quantity was relevant for pegging as standard in Production Planning andDetailed Scheduling (PP/DS); in other words, it was relevant for the net requirements calculation andfor dynamic pegging. This led to the following discrepancies:oAs standard, a procurement planning heuristic created no procurement proposals, or createdprocurement proposals with an insufficient total receipt quantity, for unconfirmed or partiallyconfirmed sales orders. However, as only the confirmed quantity is relevant for dynamic pegging aswell, the system did not display any undercoverage alerts for uncovered sales orders.oIn order that a procurement planning heuristic creates sufficient procurement proposals, you had toset the Use Desired Quantity indicator in the settings for a procurement planning heuristic. Asonly the confirmed quantity was relevant for dynamic pegging, the system displayed surplus alertsfor these procurement proposals.Therefore, the standard functions did not automatically support processes for improving planning.As of SAP APO 4.0, you can use the PP planning procedure to define for each location product whetherthe desired quantity or the confirmed quantity of a schedule line in the sales order is relevant for pegging;this setting is relevant for all planning applications in SAP APO. You define the pegging-relevantquantity for a location product as follows:oIf you assign a location product a planning procedure in which the new indicator Confirmed QtyPegging-Relevant is set, the confirmed quantity is relevant for pegging for this productoIf you assign a location product a planning procedure in which this indicator is not set, the desiredquantity is relevant for peggingIn SAP APO 4.0, the indicator is automatically set in the planning procedures that contain an action forcovering dependent or stock transfer requirements. These planning procedures are relevant for theCapable-to-Promise process for which the confirmed quantity is important. The indicator is not set in theother planning procedures; that is, the desired quantity is relevant in this case. These planning proceduresare relevant for products, for example, that you plan in the production planning run.From a technical point of view, the change for SAP APO 4.0 involves defining the content of the field forthe pegging-relevant quantity, R
