SAP FMS Support Pack Schedule

Enhancement in functionalityImmediate delivery without immediate allocation for STO

During bulk order processing, where Stock TransportOrder(STO) is being created, immediate delivery mightnot happen for ARUN relevant articles if immediateallocation does not happen due to material lockingissues. This happens if immediate allocation isenabled for order type based on sales area andimmediate delivery is maintained for order type incustomizing. With this development, outbounddelivery should get created directly without goingthrough immediate allocation inside the STO, thusavoiding locking issues.

Performance improvements:

• In FSH_PCW for confirmation operations by introducing parallelization

• In MASS ATP by HANA query optimization

• SDRQ report optimization for memory consumption(from 5+GB to 150-200MB) & execution time (from 17000+ sec to 1500-2000 secs)
