Unit 6: Master Data SNC100ProductA product is a material that is
used or exchanged in a business process.You define a product master
for each product that is relevant for a businessprocess.For the
product that the supplier delivers to the customer, you create
acustomer location product. This means that you assign the product
to thecustomer location. Maintain the application-specific settings
in the productmaster for the customer location product (for
example, planning parametersfor replenishment planning).Note:As of
SAP SCM Basis 7.0, the structure of the ImplementationGuide (IMG)
has changed. You must regenerate the project IMGs totransfer these
changes.For more information, see the Customizing for SCM Basis
underMaster Data!Location!Configuration for Alternative
LocationIdentifiers.Transportation laneA transportation lane
connects the ship-from location with the customerlocation. You must
assign the product that the supplier delivers to thecustomer to the
transportation lane. You must also assign at least one meansof
transport to the transportation lane. SAP SNC uses the
transportationduration of the means of transport that is assigned
to the transportation lane toschedule the delivery date from the
shipping date, and the other way around.Hint:Some processes, such
as purchase order processing or releaseprocessing, do not
necessarily require transportation lanes. However,it will require
some customizing effort to run these processessmoothly without
transportation lanes.Note:In SCM Basis 7.0, the Customizing
activity for maintainingmeans of transport has been changed: - The
fieldExternal Meansof Transport(/SAPAPO/TR_EXTTTYPE_FLG) has been
renamedtoMultiresource.The fieldNumber of External Vehicle
Resources(/SAPAPO/TR_EXTTTYPE_NUM) has been renamed toNumberof
Individual Resources.For more information, see the Customizing for
SCM Basis underMaster Data!Transportation Lane!Maintain Means
ofTransport.Note:Depending on the business process, you need
additional master datafrom SCM Basis or SNC-specific master data.
