ECC to APO : Master Data

Hello Everyone,
In a few months, our SCM APO will be integrated with ECC and all our master data will come from ECC.  What would be the best practice in maintaining master data in APO if in case the data integrated is incorrect?  Based on my testing, one example would be a PPM.  There were operations that should have not been sent to APO.  Should I just delete the PPMs and the resources related to the incorrect operations then integrate again correctly?
Thanks.

Hi,
The scenario what you are facing will be experienced by
many of the organisations.
The best practice is that before ciffing it up, one has to
do a thorough audit of all pre-requisites and accuracy of
master data maintained.
This itself will reduce the most pain areas and deltas after
ciffing.
Once after ciffing, if you still face problem, carry out the
mass consistency checks which will throughout the
areas where corrections are required.  You need to sit
for more days and to identify the areas where corrections
needs to be initiated and make the corrections and then
recif it.  Deletion in APO may not be the correct approach
as this will leads to more complexities and consistencies
in system

  • ECC TO APO Master data CIF

    Hi Gurus,
                  Can any one please let me know how we can bring all plants as locations in APO from ECC after changing the plant nodes in ECC?
    I mean to say that is there any enhancements or any activations available in APO 7.0
    Please let me know what master data need to pull for  PPDS implementations?
    It will be really great if any one can answer it.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Raj

    Raj,
    It is all a standard process.  You select, within ECC, which plants (optionally you can select ALL plants) will be replicated in SCM.  You then create and activate the plant Integration Model (optionally, you can create multiple Plant models, some  smaller companies like to create one model per plant to help during troubleshooting).  No additional programming is required.  The Core Interface (CIF) then takes over the task of exchanging the appropriate information between SCM and ECC, using a Queued Remote Function Call interface (qRFC).
    If you are unhappy with the standard CIF functionality, there are standard enhancements to allow your programmers to modify the way in which the CIFs work.
    Below are the basic Best Practice Building Block config guides for Connectivity and Replication.  Although these are config guides, there is also quite a bit of explanation.  If you follow these guides, your plants will appear in SCM as locations.

  • Maintain SAP ECC (R/3) Master Data with backend validation

    Hi,
    I would like to maintain SAP ECC (R/3) Master Data via the Visual Composer. As far as I understand the functionality, it should be possible, if the ECC provides a BAPI to do that.
    The BAPI must be able to do the same validation that we have, using the backend itself.
    Now the question is whether it is possible, that the BAPI returns the result of the validation back to Visual Composer, because of course the user wants to know whether his action was successfull or not (because of invalid values for example).
    Does anybody has expierences with such a requirement? Can a BAPI return something to the Visual Composer and how can I integrate such a return result in VC?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Johannes

    It is possible to captured BAPI's return parameters in VC.
    Steps:
    1.Add a Form and BAPI to the story board.
    2.Now connect the OUT port of a BAPI to the IN port of FORM , this you can do by
       just drag(BAPI Out port) and drop( FORM in port).
    3.Add a Expression Box in FORM.
    4.Display the values returned by BAPI in the expression box(Use formula)

  • 2 system PLM setup question - Connecting to another ECC system for master data

    I have been tasked with setting up the latest version of PLM in our environment.  We have a free standing PLM Server (ECC 6.0 EHP7, SP2 with PLMWUI 747, SP3) that we would like to connect to another ECC system (ECC 6.0 EHP5, SP4 with PLMWUI 701, SP4) for its master data.  In trolling around google and the marketplace, there isn't any setup guide or anything that really explains what the options are.  Does anyone know what the possible setup options are or even better provide links to documents that show how to set this up?  Can PLM be setup in the way that we want it to be?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Steve,
    Unfortunately there isn't a lot of PLM documentation available.
    I'm not sure I really understand what you need, but in essence, the PLM framework was developed using the SPI technology. That is, the Service Provider Infrastructure, which is a technology to split the UI from the business logic behind it. The idea is, in the end, you can have one single DB, connected to multiple systems and different types of UIs. (you can find some more details here: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/SPI/Home)
    As far as I know, you have to do some customization in SPRO and maintain views /PLMB/V_RFC_DEST and /PLMB/V_RFC_LSYS. Everything else is done by the PLM framework via RFC connections.
    Hope this helps you...

  • How to delete Master Data transferred from ECC to APO via CIF

    Hi, all
    I'm connecting SCM 5.1 with ECC 6.0 via CIF.
    When activating Integration Model in ECC, the following error occurred;
       "Location 0001 of type 1001 (BSG 592BUSGP) already exists in APO"
    This is because Location 0001 was already transferred from different ECC client via CIF, and not cleared.
    I'm now trying to initialise master data transferred from ECC to APO via CIF, but in vain.
    I suppose I have to first delete all master data CIFed from ECC in APO, or have to execute initialisation of APO master data with ECC data in ECC.
    Please tell me how to do this.
    For details, please read the followings;
    I connected APO client with ECC client 590.
    I transferred Plant and Material Master from ECC to APO via CIF.
    After that, I wanted to change ECC client from 590 to the other.
    I created the other client (592) by client-copying from 590 with SAP_ALL copy profile.
    I deactivated Integration Model in ECC 590, and activated the same in ECC 592.
    Here, I faced the problem.
    The initial data transfer failed due to the duplicate of data.
    Now I'm wondering how I can initialise master data in APO and transfer initial data from ECC.
    Due to testing purposes, I have to change ECC clients from one to the other this time, but I cannot initialise master data in APO and cannot tansfer initial data from different ECC client.
    thanks in advance,
    Hozy

    Hi all,
    Thank you very much indeed for lots of your replies.
    Thanks to all of your advices, I'm getting to understand what to do.
    Well, I'll say I have to create one more client for testing with other ECC clients or I have to rebuild the client by client-copying from 001 and implementing all transportation requests, for marking del flags to each master data and running del programme sound like tough work, and sound like odd ..
    Then, I've got next issue here.
    In SCM-APO, I use BI objects, and , if I have to create several clients for testing, I have to set up clients where you can use both BI objects and CIFed master data.
    I suppose I have to change 'BWMANDT' in RSADMINA and make RSA1 accessable in other SCM clients and implement tests.
    Also, I have to register BI System for newly created SCM clients in RSA1-SourceSystem.
    Well, if you have any experiences on this kind of use, and if you have any advice on it, please give me any tips.
    Particulary, I'd appreciate very much if you give me advice on which way you have chosen; creating several clients or rebuilding the one client in SCM-APO when you use both BI objects, CIFed master data and Demand Planning.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Inconsistencies in Master data

    Hi All.
    I would to know whether is there any transcation to check the inconsistencies in Master Data, just like running reconcilation/comparision of Transcation Data (/sapapo/ccr)
    Regards
    Raja kiran

    Raja,
    SAP does not provide a report that will detect all inconsistencies between Product master in APO and the Material Master in ECC.
    Most fields that exist in the ECC Material Masters do not even exist in APO.  Many fields are not intended to be in synch with APO.
    It is generally not necessary to report the APO/ECC product master differences for 'synchronized' fields on a regular basis.  In the rare case that they fall out of synch, it is usually sufficient to run RIMODINI report in ECC against the Material Master Integration model. Some companies even add RIMODINI steps to their daily IM jobs in ECC.
    In my experience, the major problem with ECC<>APO master data inconsistencies is poorly written enhancements.

  • Sync the FS Item (CX 13)  Master data in QA systems

    I have requirement like this, Synchronize all new FS Items (T-Code CX13) from production to the QA and Development environments, on average there are approximately 20 new FS Items set up in a month. ( this is the reson to do this: The weekly job to update the FI GL master data from production to Dev and QA environments, does not include the ECCS FS Item master data. This causes failed testing for projects, enhancements. At this time ASSAP team manually enters the FS Item in QA environments. This is very disruptive and time consuming and causes delays in testing. )
    Can you please suggest me the best way to do this.

    Hi,
    Any master data changes to a "non modifiable" client can be sent using one of the two options :
    1. Transport Request
    2. ALE (IDoc)
    Most probably the master data change he wants to transport requires an ALE setup between the two systems.

  • Service Master Data

    Hi all,
    I have doubts about the links between CRM and ECC and what I can do with master data. I Know in ECC System the master data usually used in service process are equipment and functional locations.
    I have the following questions:
    - Is it possible to replicate a functional location to CRM? Do I have to create an installed base in ECC and do not use functional location?
    - I have read that pieces of equipment can be replicated from ECC to CRM as individual objects of an installed base. What does it happen if a piece of equipment is installed on another one? Can I replicate equipment as individual objects and not also as installed base?
    - Is the link between ECC and CRM bidirectional? (what I do in CRM on a pieces of equipment is replicated)
    - Can I create an individual object in CRM and replicated it as equipment in ECC?
    - Is it possible to replicate the numbering of equipment to individual objects?
    Thaks a lot.

    Hi,
    1. You can replicate the functional location to CRM, but which is not standard, you need to do some enhancement.Since this functional location field does not exist in Individual object, so you need to develop and map it with ECC field using BADI enhancement.
    2. Let us assume when you replicate Equipment "0001234" from ECC to CRM, In the CRM sytem an installed base will get created with some ID number under which an individual object will get created with number "0001234" corresponding to your equipment in ECC. If the equipment has any underlying structure i.e sub equipments (You understood it as pieces of equipment), corresponding individual objects will get created.
      For every equipment download always there will be an installed base number get created under which all individual objects come.
    3. The link is bidirectional, what ever changes you do in either of the systems it will get reflected in both the systems
    4. Replication of Individual object ECC, i am not sure about this. This i will let you know. Because you always create an individual object as an installed base component in CRM. You can not create it seperately unless you register through ICSS.
    5. Yes it is possible to replicate number of equpment as Individual onject number.
    If you need any further clarification please reply.

  • CIF - Master/Transactional Data From ECC to APO

    Working on CIF Data From ECC6.0 to APO(SCM 5.0)..
    If i choose MRP type XO in ECC - Master Data & Transactional Data is moving properly to APO.
    As we are using MRP in ECC6.0..and the MRP Type is PD...
    I want to CIF the Master Data & Transactional Data using MRP Type PD? is it possible?How?
    Regards,
    Rajesh Patil

    Hi Rajesh,
    As visu rightly indicated, it is always safer to use XO while planning in APO.  Still, if the business requirement compels to use PD, you can cif with PD, then copy the data from active to an inactive version and then carry out the simulation planning.  Once results are copied, you can change the mrp type to xo in R/3 and re-cif it.  Then you can compare the result in APO between active and inactive versions.

  • Master/Transaction data from ECC to APO-BW

    Hi All,
         Normally we come across scenarios where Master/Transaction data is pulled from ECC to BW and then pulled into APO-BW. What are the pros and cons of CIF (direct connection between ECC and APo-BW) rather than pulling data from ECC to stand-alone BW and then into APO-BW?
    Regards,
    Joy

    Hi Santhana,
    If you want to add data of ECC to APO BW & Then in to DP, then follow the following Steps.
    1. Create Generic Data Source in ECC for thet Sales Order table.
    2. Replicate that data Source in to APO BW with Source System.
    3. Create whole data flow process by using created Data Source.
        Data Flow Process: 1. Info Package
                                      2. Info Source
                                      3. Info Cube
                                      4. Transformation between DS & IS, Then IS & IC
                                      5. Data Transfer Process.
    4. Load data from ECC to APO BW
    5. Use transaction /n/sapapo/tscube, for copy Info Cube data to Planning Area.
    Hope this will help you.

  • Transferring Product Master Data Changes From APO to ECC/R/3

    Is it possible to transfer product master data changes in APO to ECC via the CIF?  If so, does it require custom coding?

    Hi James,
    In all the different clients where APO is being used with ECC systems. ECC system is always the main system (system of record) which contains all the master data and data present in ECC supposed to be the reference for APO system for planning purpose.
    Generally it is not recommended to transfer master data from APO to ECC but as mentioned earlier by some experts you may have ways to do that.
    I would be interested in the business scenario where one needs to transfer master data from APO to ECC.

    you may want to go to the transaction /SAPAPO/SNP_SFT_PROF
    Determine Forecast of Replenishment Lead Time
    Use
    In this field, you specify how the extended safety stock planning determines
    the forecast of the replenishment
    lead time (RLT). The following values are available:
    Supply Chain
    The system determines the RLT forecast using the supply chain structure by
    adding the corresponding production, transportation, goods receipt, and goods
    issue times. If there are alternative procurement options, the system always
    takes the
    longest
    option into account.
    Master Data
    The system determines the RLT forecast from the location product master
    data.
    Master Data/ Supply Chain
    First, the system determines the RLT forecast from the location product
    master data. If no RLT forecast can be determined, the system determines the
    forecast using the supply chain structure (as described under
    Supply
    Chain
    Dependencies
    You can retrieve the replenishment lead time forecast yourself by using the
    GET_LEADTIME
    method of the Business Add-In (BAdI) /SAPAPO/SNP_ADV_SFT.
    Replenishment Lead Time in Calendar Days
    Number of calendar days needed to obtain the product, including its
    components, through in-house
    production or external
    procurement.
    Use
    The replenishment lead time (RLT) is used in the enhanced methods of safety
    stock planning in Supply Network Planning (SNP). The goal of safety
    stock planning is to comply with the specified service level, in order
    to be prepared for unforeseen demand that may arise during the replenishment
    lead time. The longer the RLT, the higher the planned safety stock level.
    Dependencies
    The field is taken into account by the system only if you have specified
    master data or master data/supply chain in the RLT: Determine
    Forecast field of the safety stock planning profile used.
    Hope this helps.
    The RLT from ECC is in MARC-WZEIT which is transferred to APO in structure /SAPAPO/MATIO field CHKHOR.
    May be if you maintain the setting in the profile, you may get the value in RELDT.
    Thanks.

  • CIF STEPS to load data from ECC to APO from Process chain

    Hi,
    i try to create on ECC system a process chain in order to execute the CIF program for updating APO Material/Plant Master data on DELTA mode .
    I am not sure that the procedure is correct, at the moment i put on a chain:
    - Step 1 Program RIMODGEN with a specific variant
    -Step 2 Program RIMODACT2 with a specific variant.
    Is necessary a third step with RIMODACT2 in order to deactivate the integration model?
    On APO we have to insert other standard step in order to complete the delta update?
    Any experience on similar situation?
    Thanks,
    Veronica

    You do not need a third step. You do not need to deactivate the model. In fact, it is not recommended to do so. You do not need any step in APO.
    If your CIF setup is correct, the first two steps should be enough.
    If by 'Delta', you mean field value changes to material/ plants in an existing integration model, you dont even need to do CFM1/ CFM2 if you have setup transaction CFC9 for BTE (online transfer).
