CIF Integration Model Enhancement

Guys,
From ECC to APO, I want to send across all materials which are marked as Procurement Type "E" in the material master's MRP 2 view.
But standard CIF Integration model does not support to select materials with Procurement Type (in CFM1 Transaction there is no "Procurement Type" selection.)
Does anybody know how to create the field "Procurement Type" in the integration model, that means how to get an enhanced Integration Model which will contain customised fields.
Thanks
Kumar

It can be done- You can add a new selection option. However I would recommend not to disturb the Original CFM1 Screen.
Instead write a wrapper program which does the simple query and writes the values in the TVARVC Variables.
You can use the TVARVC variable in the CFM1 variant.
So Whenever you run the CFM1 in a batch job
You would have to run the WRAPPER PRogram as the first step and then the second step would be to run the CFM1.
Let me know If you need details of the wrapper program.
Regards
Kumar

BOP selects products without an active ATP CIF integration model ?

Hello experts,
while setting up a GATP BOP Process I'm realizing that BOP is not automatically restricting the products from the loaction to which have an active ATP CIF model.
Example:
Location: 1000
Products: A, B, C
Product A is in APO for DP and SNP reasons and there is no ATP CIF model for A-1000 combination. Products B and C have been setup only for GATP reasons (but not for DP and SNP). If I run the BOP for entire location 1000 (product fiter = empty) it is picking all 3 products including product A and is rescheduling Sales orders for product A in location 1000 - although there is no GATP CIF model active.
Is this standard behaviour or do I miss anything here ? (I assumed that APO would never take a product into a BOP Filter which does not have an active and standing GATP integration model towards the ECC system.)

Thomas

Hi Thomas,
SAP documentation as in below URL
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/9c/066f3928025a6ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
states for filtering criteria in its pre-requisite . It appears that it only looks for materials filtered in BOP (i.e it does not look for materials meant for ATP check in its CIF).
However, let us wait for comments from experts.
With regards,

More than one CIF integration model possible for material?

Hi Gurus,
we want to have two different integration models (with non-overlapping selections) for materials to be able to have separate selections, but we cannot make it work.
When we create them the first time and then activate them, everything works fine: both models send their products to APO in the initial load. However, if there are changes in products in both models, when we generate and then activate one of the models, the changes in the other one are lost: the generation-activation of the second model does not send any product to APO even if there were any changes in the master data (and we see the ALE pointers as processed in the table)
Is there any workaround to solve this issue in a system without CIF pointers in BDCP2?? The ECC system is below the relevant releases and will not be upgraded in the near future.
We could not find any mention to an existing limitation on the number of models being one neither in OSS notes nor the help pages.
thanks a lot,
Pablo

Pablo,
It is common to have multiple Integration Models for Materials.
I have never heard of transaction BDCP2. I also have never seen the problem you describe.
I usually prefer not to use change pointers at all for Master data, such as Materials. You can alter this behavior in CFC9, and instead use Business Transfer Events. This means that all fields that are relevant for 'change transfer' to SCM will move across almost immediately after saving the changed material master.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/c8/cece3be9cd4432e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Also read the links contained in this page.
If you wish to actually perform a new 'initial load', then run the Integration model through program RIMODINI. It may be a lengthy run.
As always, check first in your Qual system before committing to production.

CIF - Integration model name and APO application

Hi Experts,
In the CFM1 Transaction, there are 3 mandatory inputs are Model name, Logical system and APO application.
Logical systems are customized in CFC1 transaction. I couldn't trace the model name and application creation.
What is the transaction to customize/Create the new Model name and APO application.
Hope this is very simple question to you and expect your soon.
Thanks,
Saravanan V

Hi Somnath,
Thanks for ur reply.
First I saved the selection as variant. But it was not updated in the IM table.
Then I tried to generate the model and now I can see the details when I use the F4 help.
So, to create a integration model need to generate the variant once.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Thanks,

EWM-ECC CIF Integration model

Hello All,
I want to tansfer data for plant,shipping point,customer and vendor from ERP to EWM.For this I have created Integration model.When I am trying to activate this I could not as I am getting message like'Queue for current initial data transfer is deregistered-Tgt System: APOCLNT800-Deregistered Queue' and hence Inbound queue blocked.
What could be the reason for this message. How to unblock this Inbound queqe?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Hi James,
Thanks. But this error is due to queue 'CFLD* System is not activating integration model and showing error like this'Operation terminated due to error (queue CFLD*, target system APOCLNT800)'
In SMQR I could not find this queue to acivate ,I tried in SMQ1/SMQ2, but I could not find this queue.
Do I need to create this queue? I yes I am unkown T.code for this. Do you have any idea?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Issue with CIF Integration model for Transaction data

Hi Gurus,
I have activated the Integration model for PO & PReqs by location wise and i assumed that transaction data is online and we need not to re activate for any new Product / location combination got created in system.
But the issue is that every time a new material got created, we need to deactivate and activate the integration model for Transaction data to get the transaction data into APO.
Is there any way to avoid the following exercise as it is taking very long time for activation.
Please guide me as it is very urgent.
Thanks for help in advance...
Thanks & Regards,
Jagadeesh

I assume 1,60,000 location products are spread around different locations.
Rather than one Integration Model it is better to have multiple Integration Models.
For example: one for each region like North America, one for Europe, one for Asia (assuming you have countries spread across the world). Or create Intgeration Model by Country.
This way you reduce the number of Products in an Integration Model.
It is very important to have manageable set of Integration Models. Let me give an example - you have some problem hence the single Material Master Integration Model is down (inactive). At that time any PP or PDS transfer will not have the Header or COmponent products transferred to APO (in effect PDS/PPM cannot be transferred). If you are creating or converting Planned Orders they will not transfer to R/3 (as Header product is not part of active intgeration model).
But if you have country spefic or region specific Integration Model - only that country is affected not all.
In fact you should have other integration model (like PDS/PPM, Procurement Relationships, Planned / Production Orders, Sales Orders, Stocks) in same manner i.e. either Country(s) specific or group of countries by region. The risk of models getting inactive or taking too much time to activate after regeneration easily outweighs management of more number of Integration Models (compared to one Global integration model per object).
Hope this gives you some direction.

CIF: integration model

Hello,
I have a net failure some hours ago when I was trying to generate an IM, and now, transaction cfm1 is always displaying the same message for my IM:
"This model is currently being processed by user "
I have tried to activate/deactivate the IM (cfm3).
Any help'

There was a lock. Deleted with sm12.

CIF Integration Model block.

Good morning
Our outbound CIF queue in R/3 is being blocked every hour when job
APO_CIF_ALL_INT_MODELS runs. The error message says "Location
does not exist for external location 1265"
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Guy.

If I look at Transactional RFC (SM58), I have the following error message: -
/SAPAPO/CIF_PROD_INBOUND GOLCLNT390 20.12.2007 08:01:57 Location does not exist for external location 1265 0AF00A282EFD476A21336374 gpr3ap1 CFM2 RIMODINI
location 1265 is a new plant.
Thanks.

System copy:integration models altered

Hi SCM experts,
We have APO 4.1 connected to ECC system.Recently the QAS data is refreshed with PRD data and after that all CIF integration model variants in QAS are pointing to PRD system. There are more than 100 integration model variants and changing the logical system mnaualy to QAS client is taking long time.
Is there any standrad report or t.code by means of which we can do a mass maintenance of these integration model variants ?

Hi deeparai,
You can change the name of logical system in ECC table CIF_IMOD. However, the integration models will not become active unless you generate them again (CFM1/2/3).
Hope this helps in reducing manual work.

Creating integration model

I have created an integration model using CFM1 & activated in CFM2.
now dont know how to proceed.
is there any document or link to transfer data from R/3 to APO system.
i m new to this field & trying by own.
Thanks in advance.

Best way of creating CIF integration Model
Hai,
Please go through the above thread which can help you for understanding more about the integration models creation.
You have mentioned that you have done CFM1 and CFM2. Can you please inform for which object you have done and what you would like to see in APO?
Giving more details would enable helping you better.

Purchase Order Integration Model Activation Error "Source Invalid"

Hi Experts,
When I try to activate Purchase Order CIF integration model for a specific plant, I am getting an error
"SOURCE_INVALID" r XC 014
When I checked failed LUW, found one product which is Subcontracted.
These a Subcon PO exist at this plant and Vendor is Subcon Vendor.
Before IM activation, I have CIFed Subcon vendor and T-lane between Vendor to plant exists in APO.
Any idea how can I resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Vipul

Hi Vipul,
I hope you have created subcontracting purchasing info record and connected with the productuon version.
Secondly whether it is valid.
A purchasing info record of the category subcontracting which documents the subcontractor as the source of supply of the end product.

How to Deel with CIF integration modles during SCM server shutdown

Hi
How to handle CIF integration model during SCM server shutdown , whether to keep it as (in R/3) active mode or change to inactive mode?
Any ideas or experience sharing around this topic would be great !
Thanks
Sunny

Hi,
This depends on which IM you are using. The most imp IM to be deactivated is IM for ATP Check. If this is kept active, then Sales order confirmation will be searched in APO - which will not be available.
All other IMs for master data and other transaction data are not required to be deactivated.
However, once your APO system is up, make sure that you Re-initialize all IMs (except IM for Location) in sequence, using transaction RIMODINI. Rather than reactivation, this transaction deletes transaction data and re initializes. Thus both systems will be in sync.

Bipin

Is it possible to get integration model in CIF exit??

Hi experts,
I am new to CIF interface and i have a question about the interface enhancement () on ERP side.
The scenario is, we want to send purchase order from SAP ERP to SAP APO through CIF. There are 2 integration models and they are active at the same time. After entering the enhancement code (CIFPUR01), is it possible to know which integration model is used for current purchase order? In other word, in the exit CIFPUR01, is it possible to trace reversely which IM is used? Because we want to validate some fields per different different integration model.
Thanks so much.

Chirs
I do not know why you have two different IM's for PO's . Standard SAP recommendation is to have one integration model for each object type.
Coming back to your question please check the BadI CIF_INT_MODEL. It has a method MODIFY_OBJECT_LIST and one of the parameters of this method is "IS_CIF_IMODK" which identifies the IM name . Check whether this will serve your purpose
Thanks

Can I work backward from APO CIF function module to ECC Integration Model

On our APO box, I have activated the "new-style" BAdI which is called by the CIF function module /SAPAPO/CIF_TLANE_INBOUND:
CALL BADI lr_ref_cif_enhance->inbound_tlane
How can I find out what the business analysts have to do in their ECC Integration Model
to make sure that the CIF_TLANE_INBOUND function module is called when the Integration Model is activated (so that the BAdI will also fire)?.
Our current Integration Model does fire the BAdI /SAPAPO/IF_EX_TR_TRANSFER , but not the "enhance inbound tlane" BAdI called by CIF_TLANE_INBOUND.
So ...to restate the question:
How do I figure out what I have to tell the business analysts to do in their Integration Model to make sure that CIF_TLANE_INBOUND is called when the model is actrivated ???

Hi David,
I was away in a long meeting and just came back. A quick check in another R/3 (Enterprise) system showed the following:
There is no FM in the R/3 Enterprise box as CIF_TLANE_SEND and in APO (SCM4.1)
/SAPAPO/CIF_TLANE_INBOUND. This is not surprising esp when I check the other system versions based on which I did the initial research. It was ECC 6.0 with Enterprise Extension DFPS switched on (checked SWF5) and the APO system SCM 5.0.
Lucky me I checked the internal Sandbox systems instead of my client systems otherwise I would have posted there is no FM CIF_TLANE_SEND
Forget the SD Scheduling Agreement object I mentioned in the previous reply. That master data object will not trigger FM CIF_TLANE_SEND. I found the correct FM for it CIF_SDLS_SEND on R/3 side and /SAPAPO/CIF_TPSCO_INBOUND on the APO side.
So you have to necessarily use the BADI or User Exit enhancements for TPSRC and NOT TLANE.
In any case if its a Contract or Scheduling Agreement or Purchasing Inforecord master in R/3 (or ECC any version) then TPSRC is the FM used to create External Procurement Relationships (txn /SAPAPO/PWBSRC1) in APO during CIF transfer. Also a corresponding Transportation Lane (txn /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1) gets created when the Procurement Relationship is added in APO. Otherwise you can always manually create a transportation lane in APO which is an important master data for External Procurement Order / Requisition creation in APO.
Hope this helps. I am logging off for today - so no more further digging. But thanks to you I discovered another small "blackbox" of SAP. Will blog on this some time later - till then you can take a look at the [CIF Wiki|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/CIF] page.
Best regards,
Somnath
