Cause and prerequisites

• Symptom A:

To select the planner group, you must enter a plant RCA80-WERKS.
a) Is not possible with transactions CA70, CA72, ...CA78 and CA90,
CA95. The plant is RCA80-FHWRK on the screens where the plant is
displayed.
b) For transactions CA80, CA81, CA82, CA83 the system checks for a
non-existing plant RCA80-WERKS_N.
c) For transactions CA85, CA86, CA87, CA88 the system checks for a
plant of the new work center RCA80-WERKS_N.

• Symptom B:

You cannot make a selection with a planner group using several work
centers.

Solution

• Symptom A:

Maintenance of foreign key description for the planner group:
Transaction SE11 (table maintenance), RCA80, change structure

Table fields "RCA80-VAGRP_V" as well as "RCA80-VAGRP_B" have a foreign
key descriptions for table T024A.
Menu option: Goto --> Foreign key.

Field "WERKS_N" must read: "WERKS".
The description of the fields RCA80-VARGP_V is correct:

Foreign key table RCA80 Check table T024A
RCA80 MANDT T024A MANDT
RCA80 WERKS_N T024A WERKS <-- delete
RCA80 WERKS T024A WERKS <-- insert
RCA80 VAGRP_V T024A FEVOR

The description for fields RCA80-VARGP_B is correct:
RCA80 MANDT T024A MANDT
RCA80 WERKS_N T024A WERKS <-- delete
RCA80 WERKS T024A WERKS <-- insert
RCA80 VAGRP_B T024A FEVOR

Then "Save" and "Activate".

Additional changes, if cause a):

Deactivate screen check (in Release 3.0 already exists):
Transaction SE80, program SAPMC27V, Edit
Select screens
Process following screens identically:
- 200, 250,
- 300, 301, 302,
- 320, 321, 322,
- 330, 331, 332,
- 350, 351, 352,
- 370, 371, 372,
- 380, 381, 382.
Select screen (F2 or double-click),
Goto --> Field list
Screen --> Display <-> Change
Position cursor on field RCA80_VAGRP_V
Edit --> Field attributes
Deactivate checkbox "FKY" (in 2.2) or "Foreign key" (in 3.0)
Activate checkbox "VHelp" (in 2.2) or "Value help" (in 3.0)
(if necessary).

Then "Generate" !

Result:
1) You can also enter non-existent planner groups for this transaction with the result that no usage is found.
2) If planner groups exist in several plants with identical descriptions, the system selects using several plants.

Additional changes, if reason b) or c):

Screens 100, 110, 120, 130, 150, 170, 180:
The screen check can remain active.
(In Release 3.0A .. 3.0D is inactive. Activate checkbox "Foreign key" to start).

Result: The selection takes place using the planner group of the plant entered (plant of the work center and not the plant from the routing). In mass replacement, selection occurs using the plant of the work center to be replaced and not using the plant of the new work center.

• Symptom B:

Define fields RCA80-ARBPL, RCA80-ARBPL_N, RCA80-WERKS, RCA80-WERKS_N
as required entries in screens 100, 110, 120, 130, 150, 170, 180 of
program SAPMC27V.
Processing with transaction SE80, parallet to Symptom A.
Activate the checkbox "required" (in 2.2) or "required entry" (in 3.0)
for the field attributes.

• As of 3.0E, the additional selection criterion "plant from routing"

is included. The planner group is checked with this plant (see Release note 3.0E Routings).
