GATP RBA product substitution - effective maintenance ?

39 Views

Hello,

we are planning and prototyping product substitution via GATP-RBA. We have roughly 2.500 "main" products where each can have up to 5 alternative product numbers.

  • ProductSubstScheme0001: A -> A1 -> A2 -> A3

  • ProductSubstScheme0002: B -> B1 -> B2 -> B3 -> B4

  • ProductSubstScheme0003: C -> C1

  • ...

  • ProductSubstScheme2500: ...

With the current knowledge we assume this would mean we need to setup:

A) 2.500 ProdSubstSchemes

+

B) 2.500 Rules on top (which point to the right ProductSubstScheme, basically one per main product)

+

C) 2.500 Rule Determinations (which point to the right Rule via the Kondition table using the Prod number fromthe SalesOrder Position) ?

Does somebody has an idea how to significantly cut down this maintenance ? By either a smarter setup or for example is there an "upload" capability for ProdSubstSchemes and afterwards Rule Creation to include the ProdSubstSchemes.

Thanks for any hint

Thomas
