Hi APO Experts,

how can we add material type as a filter in selection profile in APO. Any suggestion would be helpful.

tcode : /n/sapapo/sdp94

If you refer to material type in ECC/S4H (MARA-MTART) then you will need to do a couple steps to get this working in APO. Material type from ECC/S4H is NOT part of the product master integration using CIF interface. This means you need to bring this first from ECC/S4H into APO and second you need to enable SDP94 shuffler selection to use this field if selection level = Product.

Step1) bring material type as data element into APO

Activate/use one of 5 additional attributes available in APO for MATKEY level (SPRO setting)

-OR-

you add a Z-field append in /SAPAPO/MATKEY and open this field for editing in the "Extra" tab in /SAPAPO/MAT1.

Now you maintain the field in in APO by these 3 methods

• manually via /SAPAPO/MAT1
• use MASSD
• enhance the CIF ECC/S4H outbound (add MARA-MTART) and map this CIF inbound APO to either your MATKEY-ATT0* or your Z-field.

Step2) enable SP94 to use this field in selection IDs:

See this post here UserExit / BADI for Selection ID handling and additional MATLOC attribute filtering | SAP Community - keep in mind you have a an attribute not on MATLOC but on MATKEY level.
