Distribution of Inspection Setup Using ALE

Use

The QMapplication component enables you to a great extent to automate the processing of inspection setup data across all systems. You can either trigger the distribution manually (send the data directly) or automatically with the help of change documents.

Integration

The distribution function for the inspection setup is integrated in the general functions for ALE processing of material master data in the R/3 System.

Prerequisites

You must have made the relevant settings in Customizing.

Features

2. The R/3 System loads the selected data (manually or using change indicators) from the database of the source system and creates an IDoc for each material-plant-combination
3. The IDoc is sent to the target system that you have entered, or to the target system maintained in the distribution model.

There are the following options:
Sending the Inspection Setup Directly
This function allows you to trigger the distribution of newly created inspection setup data to one or several target systems manually.

Distributing Inspection Setup Data Using Change Documents
This function allows you to distribute the inspection setup automatically, with the help of change documents.


You manage changes to master data objects using the SMD tool (Shared Master Data). This tool distributes changes to master data and combines:

• • All the changes to a master data object that have taken place in various transactions throughout the R/3 System and that are stored in different tables into one single change to the master data object
  • Changes that took place over a period of time into one single change to be distributed

The SMD tool is linked to the change interface. If master data is relevant for distribution, the application writes a change document. The contents of this change document are transferred to the SMD tool, which sets a change indicator, loads the application data, and creates the IDoc.

2. In the target system, the data from the IDoc is written to the application tables in the R/3 System, after various checks have been carried out.

The checks that are made are similar to those that take place when the inspection setup is created manually in the material master.

2. If an error occurs during one of the checks, it is documented in the ALE tool. If errors occur, the processing is cancelled and the data is not saved in the target system.
3. In the target system, a message list is created in ALE services that shows the status of the posted master IDocs (and of those that have not been posted because they contained errors), as well as the short text for the error message (if required).
