ODM Framework - Creating custom order types to meet customer requirements

[Former Member]

Summary:

Enhance SAP transactions that use Order Document Management per custom requirements. This article provides step-by-step details on how to customize ODM for specific client requirements such as adding custom fields to SAP transactions and/or documents.

Requirement:

Enhance Fixed Demand/Receipt UI - /SAPAPO/SPPFIXREQ in SPP with two new custom fields - 'Original Qty', 'Ramping Indicator'. The Fixed Demand/Receipt UI utilizes ODM Framework to save the Fixed Requirements data using the standard Order Component (PFRO), Data type(PFRQ), Order Data Area(PFRQ). As its not advisable to change the standard ODM, custom ODM needs to be created and configured to meet the requirement. The custom ODM is created as a copy of the standard ODM, alongwith addition of the two new fields to meet customer requirements.

Steps to create and configure custom ODM:

1) Create custom order component ZPFQ

     - Copy standard structures and create custom table structure, table type. Include the additional custom fields per requirement.

2) Create custom order data type ZPF1

3) Create custom order data area and order document type

4) Generate and Activate the custom order component, data type, data area and document type

5) Maintain DAO initial parameters and Custom Data Access Object for Fixed requirements

Details:

Custom ODM creation and configuration for Fixed Requirements:

Step 1: SPRO transaction path

SPRO -> SCM Basis -> Order Document Management -> Configure Order Document Management

Step 2: Create Custom Order Component

Step 2.1: In change mode, click on 'New Entries' button and maintain custom Order Component ZPFQ with the following information.

-> Create custom table structure and table type with the required fields and maintain the same in the custom order component.

Step 2.2: Copy all the component parameters from standard Fixed Requirement Component PFRO, into custom Fixed Requirements Order Component ZPFQ.

Step 2.3: Copy standard Order Component Index to custom Order Component, as shown below.

Step 2.4: Copy standard Order Component Index fields to custom Order Component fields.

Step 3: Create custom Order Data Type

Step 3.1: In change mode, click on 'New Entries' button and maintain custom Order Data Type ZPF1, using custom Order Component created in Step 2.

Step 3.2: Copy standard Order Data Type Active Indexes to custom Order Data Type Active Indexes.

Step 3.3: Copy standard Order data Type Access Path to custom Order Data Type Access path.

Step 3.4: Copy standard Order Data Type Sequence and Fields in Access Path to custom Order Data Type ZPF1.

Step 4: Create custom Order Data Area

Step 4.1: In change mode, click on 'New Entries' button and maintain custom Order Data Area ZPF1, using custom Order Data Type created in Step 3.

Step 5: Maintain custom Order Document Type ZPF1 using Order Data Type created in Step 3.

Step 5.1: Maintain Order Data Area assignment for Order Document Type.

Save at the end of each step above and include all changes/customization in one transport request and use it for transporting.

Generate and Activate the custom Order Component, Data Type, Data Area and Document Type:

Step 6: SPRO transaction path for generating Order Component, Document Type and Document Area.

SPRO -> SCM Basis -> Order Document Management -> Generate Settings in Order Document Management

Step 6.1: Generate Order Component

Select 'Generate Order Component' and choose/enter.

Enter values as shown below and click on execute to generate custom Order Component.

Step 6.2: Generate Order Data Type

Select 'Generate Order Data Type' and choose/enter.

Enter values as shown below and click on execute to generate custom Order Data Type.

Step 6.3: Generate Order Data Area

Select 'Generate Order Data Area' and choose/enter.

Enter values as shown below and click on execute to generate custom Order Data Area.

Step 7: SPRO transaction path for activating Order Component, Document Type and Document Area.

SPRO -> SCM Basis -> Order Document Management -> Activate Settings in Order Document Management

Step 7.1: Activate Order Component

Select 'Activate Order Component' and choose/enter.

Enter values as shown below and click on execute to activate custom Order Component.

Step 7.2: Activate Order Data Type

Select 'Activate Order Data Type' and choose/enter.

Enter values as shown below and click on execute to activate custom Order Data Type.

Step 7.3: Activate Order Data Area

Select 'Activate Order Data Area' and choose/enter.

Enter values as shown below and click on execute to activate custom Order Data Area.

Maintain DAO initial parameters and custom Data Access Object for Fixed Requirements:

Step 8: Maintain DAO Initial Parameters and custom Data Access Object for fixed requirements.

Go to transaction “/SCMB/TDL_CUST_CFG” and click on new entries button to maintain DAO Initial Parameters for fixed requirements

Step 9: Assign custom DAO class for fixed requirements

Copy standard DAO class “/SCMB/CL_TDL_ODM_FR_DAO” for fixed requirements to a custom DAO class and make relevant changes to read the correct custom Order Document Type and Order Component.

Go to transaction “/SCMB/TDL_CUST_CFG” and replace standard DAO class for fixed requirements.

Note: SAP generates two new tables to hold the Fixed Requirements data - /1OM/ZPF1ZPFQ210(history table) & /1OT/ZPF1ZPFQ210(tracking table, holds current active data). The last three characters of the table name is dependent on the SAP client number of the system, hence would vary in each environment. The structure of these tables is driven by the custom data structure and table type mentioned in Step 2.1.
