Purpose
This report evaluates the information stored in SAP ERP on completedswitches from original articles to follow-up/replacement articles (or'switch back' from replacement article to original article) andtransfers the relevant data to SAP F&R inbound interface for'information on switch / switch back'.
SAP F&R must be informed of a switch so that the consumption mergingrequired for the switch can take place in SAP F&R. If a switch has takenplace from an original article to a replacement article in SAP ERP, andthe original article can now be delivered again, then SAP F&R must bealso informed of this switch back so that the merging of the data in SAPF&R can be ended.
The settings made here can be stored as variants and be scheduled toexecute transmission to SAP F&R at specified intervals. The report isalso integrated into the existing functionality for initial and deltadata supply of SAP F&R with master data from SAP ERP so that on initialsupply of SAP F&R with master data on 'F&Rreplenishment-planning-relevant' articles, any existing switchinformation on these articles in SAP ERP is also transferred to SAP F
R.
