1 Introduction
The program ATLAS (Advanced ParTs Logistics in After Sales) deals with the
implementation of the software SAP in the parts distribution of BMW Group. This includes,
amongst others, a system change for parts ordering.
Since 2005 many Distribution Centers and DMDCs in the world (Europe, USA, Canada)
have been switched to the SAP-based ATLAS system step by step. In 2013 the CDC
(Central Distribution Center) is scheduled for the conversion to ATLAS. This includes the
launch of the ATLAS Central SAP solution as a replacement for the AVS and Warehouse
systems as well as the complete replacement of GPOS and IPSPOS systems by the new
ADF system.
The ADF offers the following functionalities:
Ordering
• Parts Ordering (rush and stock orders)
• PMP Ordering (Production Memo parts, used to be FSI)
• Promotion Ordering
Inquiries
• Parts availability
• Back orders
• Detail Orders
• Order Status Tracking
• Order Error Log
Reports
• Returns and Reason Codes
• Invoicing
• Shipment Content List
Returns
• Creation of returns and claims
• Exchange Parts (AT)
• Packing Slip
This user manual describes how these processes are covered by ADF and provides best
practice tips for using the system.
In case that you should not be able to find one of the functionalities listed above, it is
possible that you do not need this functionality. In the case that you need it, please contact
your responsible contact person at BMW AG so that they can grant the according rights.
2 System Log-in
You can reach ADF via web access on the BMW S-Gate Portal:
https://sgate.bmwgroup.com
After logging in with your user and password to S-Gate you will find the ADF entry in the
menu on the upper left side or in the “Fastlane”:
2.1 To Do List
The To Do List comprehends all incomplete tasks which have to be finished by the NSC/
Importer. These are tasks such as erroneous orders, claims and other errors, which have
been made in ADF in the previous days.
By clicking on the To Do list in the upper right corner it is opened. All tasks for a certain delivery
address can be viewed now.
Count: This is the number of new messages per part type, which are new.
Error messages which appeared on the screen once disappear from the screen.
You can display them again with the function [Show deleted items] and a click on [Refresh].
Clicking on the dropdown menu [Select an operation] will restore the deleted items.
3 Ordering
By using the menu item “Parts Ordering” you are able to create rush and stock orders for
different modes of transport.
After opening the related menu item you will first see a list of incomplete orders.
ADF stores all newly created orders in this list. You can work with an order until you have
sent it to ATLAS Central. Afterwards no more change or cancellation –as usual- is possible.
If you still need to enter an order or cancel one, please contact your responsible partner at
BMW AG.
Send in Process The order has been sent to ATLAS, but there is no confirmation so
far. Orders with this status can only be displayed, but not be changed
anymore.
Sent to BMW The order has been successfully sent to ATLAS and a confirmation
is available. No errors have occurred.
Unsuccessful Send The order has been sent to ATLAS, but an error occurred that has to
be corrected. Afterwards, the order either has to be directly
corrected (Rush Orders) or has to be recreated with the correct order
data (only erroneous order lines for Stock Orders). A way to avoid
this problem would be to process an order simulation before sending
the order (description see below).
You can sort the lines in the work list according to the underlined headlines. A click on the
headlines sorts the lines descending or ascending. Furthermore, you can filter the list of
orders based on different criteria offered in the upper part of the screen. You can also filter
certain data in the head of the screen. Just pick the preferred criteria, fill in the data you
know and click [Search].
Search Fields
Date All order are displayed which have been created from a defined date
onwards with your user number.
Part Number Exclusive display of all orders, which contain the specified part
number. The number has to be entered with 11 digits. Via the button
Location Reduction of the list to one location (only relevant for USA).
Dlr Order Nbr In order to search for a specific customer order number. For this
purpose there is the need to enter the complete order number.
Order Status You can reduce the displayed order to a certain status (see above.).
The default value is “Incomplete”. You can also display all orders
without filtering on a status.
Sales Order Nbr For the search of a specific BMW Order number. You have to enter the
complete number.
The display of the filtered list is triggered with the key [Search]. In order to process the
order or to see the details of the order you have to click the underlined order number.
Using the boxes in the left row you can select several orders. In addition to that there is the
possibility to mark all displayed orders with a click on the button [Select all]. Additionally,
you can deselect all orders with a click on the button [Clear all]. The number of selected
orders is displayed on the lower left side. Using the buttons on the lower left side the
selected orders can be deleted, sent and printed.
With the help of the red arrow you can open a table in which you can create up to 10
order lines. By clicking on [Create] the lines will be transferred into the order.
Please be aware that the order will not be sent to ATLAS before you click the
according button [Send]!
Entry fields
Ship to: Ship-To Address (in case you have more than one)

ADF has a separate data base with parts order description and prices. After creating the
order line, additional information will be shown.
Display fields
Parts Description Material description
Ref. Unit Price Unit price per part in EUR (BVP)
Ext. Price EUR Complete price of all order lines in EUR
Total Qty Total quantity of all parts in this order
Total Ext Price Total sum in EUR
To check the order and get information regarding the parts availability, you can use the
function [Simulate Order]. Thus you can avoid an unsuccessful transmission of your order.
It is recommendable to use this function to avoid the necessity correct orders after sending
or to create a new order if the initial one contains errors. Additionally you can see the
availability of parts at once.
After a click on the corresponding button in the lower part of the screen, the following
information from ATLAS will be available:
Display fields
Alloc. Expected allocated quantity
B/O Current back order quantity
SRC Warehouse location, from which the parts will be delivered
Possibly, you will receive the message that the order simulation has been sent to ATLAS
and is still in process. You can then check the status of the order in the order list.
The availability of parts is updated constantly. Thus you know at any time how many parts
are stored in the CDC. To process the order after the simulation, you need to click on [Edit
Order]. Order lines can still be edited after the creation. To calculate the totals again, you
have to click on [Save/ Recalculate]. To delete lines you can mark them with help of the
boxes next to the lines (left side) and click on [Delete]. To navigate to a different order you
can go back to the order list via [Back to List].
If a part is not available in the CDC, it will be converted to back order. The expected delivery
date will then be indicated in the screen “Back Order List” in the field “Estimated
Availability date” (see chapter 4.1).
To avoid these additional steps, it is highly recommendable to execute the order simulation
before the sending and to correct directly possible errors in rush and stock orders.
Sent without Feedback Check status in the order list and contact your contact partner
at BMW AG.
The abbreviation PMP stands for Production Memo Parts formerly known as FSI parts.
These are coded parts as well as all parts which need further information such as the
indication of the color, size, material etc. for ordering. The principle of ordering PMP parts
does not differ from the process explained above for Rush and Stock orders. You only have
to add the step to add information for the part depending on the External Material Group.
For new parts you need to enter, if possible, individual part numbers per variant so that in
most cases you only need to enter the vehicle identification number (VIN).
