Modify NODETYPE values in IBP_LOCATION

[former_member342909]

Hi experts,

For some records of the table /IBP/LOC_EXT we need to change the values stored in the NODETYPE field by others that more clearly identify the type of location. However, only the following cases are available:

• PL: production plant
• DC: distribution center
• If left blank, means that it is not a plant, but location is a vendor or a customer.

If we change the values using the BAdI /IBP/ECC_SAVE_LOCATION~SAVE_LOCATION, could this affect the SDI integration or during the planning in IBP Order-based?

Best regards.

Hi Dagoberto,

during IBP Inbound integration using SDI there are data validation checks. If you change attribute values it can result into errors.

You can find valid entries in the SAP help:

BTW: this Plant type setting can be changed in ERP customising here:

Transaction SPRO -> Production -> Distribution Resource Planning -> Maintain assignment of node type

best regards
