1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to describe the general configuration steps required to

manually set up the configuration within the system landscape that has already been installedusing the corresponding installation or configuration guides for installation.

2 Preparation

.2.1 Prerequisites

Before you start with the installation, make sure that you have successfully set up the relevantsections of the following building block:

• Building block Connectivity

Note that the building block Global ATP is not configured all at once. Youcomplete the configuration of the first part, then you need to set up the buildingblock Replication before you can proceed with the second configuration part of Global ATP . Refer to the scenario installation guide and this configuration guideto carry out all activities in the correct order.

.2.2 SAP Notes Building Block Global ATP

Currently no SAP Note is required for this building block.

.2.3 Uploading the Configuration Role

Use

Before you start with the configuration according to the manual procedures described in thisConfiguration Guide, you need to upload the configuration role and assign it to your user.

SAP Best Practices provides a configuration role for each component involved in thisconfiguration, that is, for SAP APO or SAP R/3. The configuration role is a special user menuthat enables you to comfortably access all transactions required for the configuration from therelevant system. The following roles are available:

Technical name Description

ATP_01C Configuration Role for Global ATP (SAP R/3)

ATP_02C Configuration Role for Global ATP (SAP APO)

Procedure

For details on how to upload configuration roles to the system and how to work with the roles,

refer to the document Essential Information.

.4.2.2.6 Defining the Location Determination Procedure

Use

For the location determination procedure, you define a list of locations. During the availabilitycheck, SAP APO takes all listed locations into account. If the requirement cannot be fulfilled in

the original location, it is substituted by one of the alternative locations.

Carry out this activity only if you want SAP APO to substitute alternative locationsduring the availability check.

You must, however, perform this step if you use SAP CRM for the sales order entry.

SAP CRM needs a location determination procedure of the type 3. In the locationlist, it must only contain the location where the available check from SAP CRMhas to take place.

Procedure1. To access the transaction, choose one of the following navigation options:

SAP APO Role Menu Defining the Location Determination Procedure

.4.2.2.7 Defining a Single Location Product SubstitutionRule

Use

You can define a single location product substitution if you want to replace specialcombinations of location and product by alternative combinations. In this transaction, youmaintain the original combination with its substitution.

Carry out this activity only if you want SAP APO to substitute combinations of products and locations with different combinations during the availability check.

Skip this activity if you use SAP CRM for the sales order entry.

Procedure

1. To access the transaction, choose:

SAP APO Role Menu Defining a Single Location Product Substitution Rule




2. Choose Rules & substitutions.
