2 ECC systems with 1 APO system

Hi All,
We have the same data in 2 ECC clients linked up to an APO box. We had to do that to test the new data load and the project did not invest in a new APO box.
We plan to keep all in one Business System Group as we want the same product, location numbers etc in APO. Using separate BSGs and CIF exits to modify product numbers etc is not an option as it will impact all BI reports etc..
I would like to know if it is possible to have such an architecture. If yes, how does the APO system send back the information to ECCs, how does it know where to send, if both ECC systems are specified in publications.
Regards,
Zeeshan.

my basis is very basic but - have you looked at partitioning into separate clients? i suppose you can connect two different ECC systems to two different clients in APO
if you dont want locations to be changed it will turn to be a little difficult i think. if you did not have that issue you could prefix the location based on the ecc system. there are some posts in this forum on that

Consideration during Multiple ECC systems with One APO system for PP/DS

Hi All,
We have a scneario that Multiple ECC systems and Third party ERP systems and Legacy systems .What are the points to be considered for this scenario when using with PP/DS?

Hi,
The factors to be considered will greatly depend how the multiple ERP systems are split, if they are split on geographical aspects only (all modules in all ERP systems then no major issues) - the problem will become a little challenging when Multiple ERP are split with different modules in different instances then major thought has to go in your CIF design (the IMs has to properly though of ).
It is not a detailed explanation but just the line of thought.

2 clients of 1 apo system connecting to 2 clients in same ECC system

Hi
We have a requirement at our end as below-
1)We have 2 clients in our APO Developement system and they are using BW functionality of APO
2)These 2 clients need to talk to 2 different client in our ECC System for ex:- APD has 2 clients(100 & 200) and ECC has two clients(101 and 201).
We need APD 100 to talk to ECC client 101 and APD client 200 talking to ECC client 201.
The query is - Is this possible to do the same .
If yes,can anyone guide me with some required documents

Hi sunny
One more query :-
The scenario is we want to connect 2 APO systems to 2 different clients of same ECC box
For Ex:-
ECC 100 ---> APD100
ECC 200 ---> APT200
There is only 1 ECC box with 2 clients.
I am not sure if we have some restrictions with regards to BW of APO connecting to 1 ECC box.
Do you have any idea if there are some issues while doing it as we will have 2 APO-BW client talking to 2 clients in ECC
Thanksbasisadmin

Goods Receipts data from ECC 6.0 to APO system

Hello Team
Good day to you. Now i have the below requirement.
1. From legacy system i am getting Goods Receipt data and i want to create GRs in ECC system. for this i found a relavent bapi (ie BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE). please correct me if i am wrong.
2. As soon as GRs gets create in ECC system, i want to push this data to APO system for udpates. -- > so for this requirement i want to know is there any user-exit/badi exists in which i can write a code to trigger the RFC function module which takes data from ECC system and updates into APO system or is there any other way to perform this task. please suggest me on this.
my Interface landscape is as below.
Legacy system -
> ECC system -
> APO sytem
i want to push GR data from legacy system to APO sytem as mentioned in the above two steps. so requesting you to please suggest the solution accordingly.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mario
Thank you very much for your detail explanation. But i think i have put a wrong question to you, i am so sorry for this. i am very new to this process. so i am putting my requirement and the options suggested below. so i request you to please check and suggest me accordingly. In Option 3 what is the BADI i need to use and what is the process to follow to complete my option 3 which is suggested. your suggestions will help me a lot.
Thanks in advance very much.
My requirement is below with the options suggested are given below.
Design Decision and Options
Description
Describe the problem which requires a decision to be made.
In the current design for Phase 1 go live, goods receipts from production will be generated through interfaces I608 (when production is receipted in PRISM) and I622 (when production is receipted via OPUS). This will update the stock levels in the ECC system. As the Core Interface (CIF) between ECC and APO will be active, the stocks will also be updated in APO.
In APO, the production orders will not be reduced by the confirmed amounts until the PRISM to APO interface (I642) runs overnight. Until the production orders are reduced there will be double counting in APO leading to incorrect planning and GATP results.
*Options(
List the options that have been considered as potential solutions
Option 1: Increase the frequency of the current PRISM to APO interface.
Option 2: Build additional Interface between PRISM & APO for production confirmations.
Option 3: Build enhancement to ECC GR to update APO production orders.
Option 1: Increase the frequency of the current PRISM to APO interface
Describe the pros and cons of option 1
Pros
No change to system design
Cons
Significant potential for issues with synchronous timing between Goods Receipts in the ECC system and Production Orders from PRISM to APO
Interface method requires deletion/creation of production orders in APO which will cause issues for APO users
Option 2: Build additional interface between PRISM and APO for production confirmations
Describe the pros and cons of option 2
Pros
Interface method of updating production orders will not cause issues for APO users.
Cons
New interface
Development work required in PRISM to feed new interface
Significant potential for issues with synchronous timing between Goods Receipts in the ECC system and Production Orders from PRISM to APO
Delay between GR from OPUS and production confirmation from PRISM to APO
Option 3: Build enhancement to ECC GR to update APO production orders.
Describe the pros and cons of option 3. If only 2 options, then delete this section. If more than 3 options, then add further sections.
Pros
Ties the APO production confirmation to the ECC goods receipt, mimicking phase 2 scenario
Will not cause issues for APO users
Removes timing issue between goods receipt and production order confirmation
Cons
New development.
Assumptions for Proposed Development:
Utilise available BADi upon posting of goods receipt
Will generate qRFC that will run Production Confirmation BAPI in APO
BADi executes in update task of goods receipt
Interface for goods receipts will contain PRISM production order number
Recommended Decision
State which option is recommended as the decision, and the reason why this option has been recommended.
Option 3: Build enhancement to ECC GR to update production orders in APO.

Number ranges - APO or ECC system - Which one is master system?

Hi
In SRM always SRM system is a master system for issuing number range. to create a folow on documents like purchase request and Purchase order . SRM system always determines the number range for purchase orders , Purchase request .
for example in Classic scenario :-
SRM we create a Shopping cart and Purchase order in ECC system.but SRM determines the number range which number Purchase order needs to be created.
What about in APO number ranges for Purchase request and Purchase order ? .iS That SAME ? .
In APO , do you have technical scenarios like Classic and Extended classic?
classic :- shoping cart crated in SRM and Purchase order will be created in ECC system.
Ext Classic :- Shopping card created in SRM and Purchase order will be created in SRM itself and replicated to ECC system.
But both above scenarios, SRM system is a master system to issue number ranges.
i learnt that APO system dont supply any number ranges to create a PR or PO in ECC system (trigger from APO) only ECC system determines? is it true?
BR
Muhtu

Hi,
For Purchase requisition there is temporary number range in APO system but once requisition gets transfered to ECC through CIF it determines number range from ECC and returns back same number to APO.
For Purchase order number range exists in ECC only and not in APO. Even if you trigger conversion of PR to PO from APO number range will be taken from ECC only.
So ECC remains master system .

Santosh

PO No range when we ink two SRM system with One ECC system

Hello Experts,
We have a client requirement to link Two SRM Systems with One ECC system.
In this case what number range we need to maintain in both SRM systems for PO.
-The number range of ECC PO should get update whenver the PO is transferred from any of the two SRM system.
-We have Extended classic scenario.
-Also PO Doc type is going to be same.
Can we handle this by increasing the buffer of the number range in one of the SRM system?
Any idea...pls help urgently.
Best Regards,
Anil
Edited by: anil.s.verma on Oct 1, 2010 4:33 PM

Hello Anil,
Being in Extended Classic Scenario (leading PO being in SRM, R/3 PO number range is concidered as external because PO number is given by SRM), the only solution for you is to:
1- give same number range interval for PO (internal in SRM system 1 and SRM system 2, external number range in R/3), e.g. 3100000000 - 3199999999
2- in SRM system 2, fill in current number with (for example) 3159999999 and let empty (or current value) in SRM system 1
3- assign, in each system for your concerned transaction type, number range as internal in SRM and external in R/3.
In this way, you will avoid overlaping in R/3 between PO numbers coming from SRM system 1 and SRM system 2

Laurent.

IDOC with extension from external ECC system

Hello experts.
I have a scenario where I need to receive an IDOC with extenstion from an external system.
how can I define the xsd of that IDOC in my PI system?
will I need to receive an xsd file from the external system and import it as an external defenition?
how is it done? (this 3rd party doesn't have a PI system, so they can't export XSD like me)
another option is to build a similar IDOC with extenstion in our SLD, and import it into the PI system... but it seems a bit problematic.
I'll be happy to hear suggestions from people who had to implement a similar scenario.
thanks,
Imanuel Rahamim.

Hi,
Three questions:
1. how your external system will send to you the data: by an Idoc-XML file ? or by directly an IDoc (so with an ALE config) ?
if it's ALE config, then you should have also a connexion to this Ext. ECC system, for instance to return back an acknowledgment. And so, if you have a connexion, you can import this IDoc into PI.
If it's a file, they have to provide to you an XSD file, that you can use as External Def, and create a Service Interface. So it will be not really like an IDoc, but like all other message which look like an idoc.
2. with this ext. ECC system, do you have a logon connexion ?
if yes, you can import this IDoc into PI.
3. Do you have to send the same IDoc to your own ECC system ?
if yes, that means the extension has to be developped in also in your own ECC. In that case, you will be able to import it PI and use it for source and target.
> how is it done? (this 3rd party doesn't have a PI system, so they can't export XSD like me)
you can find on SDN, some program to generate an XSD from a DDIC table/structure, but for complete IDoc, I don't know.
Anyway, if it's really an ECC system, the better way to exchange data, it's to do an ALE config from their system to your PI, and no issue to import the IDoc def in PI.

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with custome

We would like to use cyrilic language characters in ECC system with "customer reserve" language (Z1).
We have positive experience on one system for certain business partner in Macedonia (there is no Macedonian language to install as SAP standard) by using "customer reserve" language (Z1).
Now we are about to introduce other system with same approach. The trouble is that after entering Macedonian language on an cost center with language Z1 on first language and transfering it via idoc we get hashes("#") instead of characters on second language
What could be the reason? I suplemented with english (as on the first system where everything is ok) the "Customer reserve"(Z1) language normaly(with default settings).
On first system this was not done by me.
Should supplementation be done specificly?.(how to find settings for supplemention on first system?)
Please give me a hint

Hi,
To check supplement language go to T-code, SMLT ->Language ->Special actions->Supplementaion
you can get more information from below SDN thread.
Cyrilic char not coming properly
Below SAP help document gives you how to find supplement language & installation of languaes.

ME 5.2 connection with two ECC systems

Hi Sergiy/Experts,
Need to connect ME 5.2 system with two ECC & SCM systems for a scenario. Is it possible to connect?
During SAPMEINT standard interface we get connection credentials point for only one ECC system.
How I can meet the scenario for ECC system?
will appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Yes, it is possible. See my answer here:
http://scn.sap.com/message/14408145#14408145
There is a design limitation: plants must be unique across the different ERPs connected to the same SAPMEINT.

Connect two ECC systems with one SAP CRM 7.0

Hi Gurus!
I have to do a customizing for connect two ECC 6.0 and one SAP CRM 7.0, only I need the organizational structure from both systems and they need update when the structure from CRM has changes. The business partner goes to ECCs system by PI interfaces.
Both organization models are different, so I have to maintain and update depending the changes in the business.
But I don't know if this is possible, I don't know if we can do this by Middleware, ALE or PI.
Can you please, give your oppinion about this topic?
Best regards,
Eugenia.-

Hi Eugenia,
Please see note 1084315 which descriibes the the multiple backend scenario.
This should be relevant here.

ESS/MSS with more ECC Systems sap.wdarfc.useSys Problem

Hello ,
we have more a ECC Systems and on one ESS/MSS Portal. Now I found the url Parameter "sap.wdarfc.useSys" in the sdn. In one test ESS Iview I set the Propoerty field to
sap.wdarfc.useSys=SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaDataFIN:XY&sap.wdarfc.useSys=SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics_MetaData:XY&sap.wdarfc.useSys=SAP_R3_SelfServiceGenerics:XY&
sap.wdarfc.useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResources:XY&sap.wdarfc.useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResourcesMetaData:XY&
sap.wdarfc.useSys=SAP_R3_HumanResourcesMetadata:XY&
sap.wdarfc.useSys=SAP_R3_Financials_MetaData:XY&
sap.wdarfc.useSys=SAP_R3_Financials:XY
Now should the WebDynpro connect to the system XY. But it raise an error:
That the MetaData RFC connect to system "AB"
What is wrong ? I have checked all JCO Connections.
Another question when the parameter works. Must I copy all the WD Iviews and replace the set "sap.wdarfc.useSys" Parameter ?
Regards
Daniel

I have the solution.
delete SAP_R3_HumanResourcesMetadata
right SAP_R3_HumanResourcesMetaData

Same material number Ciffing from different ECC system

Hello Gurus,
I have APO system connected with two ECC system.
If there is a material with the same name in both the system how does the APO system finds the respective system.
Even if I assign BSG for the logical systems, to which system will the transaction data will be transferred after planning?
Thanks,
Siva.

Although I do not have real-time experience working in this kind of scenario from what I understand there will be two product-codes based on the BSG.
Eg. HAMMER@BSG1 will be the Product code for material HAMMER coming from your first ECC system which is mapped to BSG1 and HAMMER@BSG2 will be the product code for material HAMMER comping from the other second ECC system that is mapped to BSG2.
Transaction data will then flow back from APO to respective ECC system based on the BSG mapping. Note in the Distribution Definition you maintain the connected ECC logical system name as well.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Somnath

CALL_FUNCTION_OPEN_ERROR in CRM while trying to connect to ECC system

Hi All,
We are having issues while connecting to ECC system from CRM at specific point of time.
It occurred only once yesterday . Since it is a production system, we need to investigate the cause of the issue.
Upon checking the logs, I can see dumps in ST22 stating CALL_FUNCTION_OPEN_ERROR while trying to connect to ECC.
This issue has been faced by multiple users at the same time.
Both CRM and ECC are in the same server . There are no errors in ECC system ,
The error description says
Error opening RFC connection
Error text........... "Group USER not found"
Description.......... "LgIGroupX"
The response time is fine for the system and during the time when the error occurred.
Both the systems are in kernel 720 patch level 416.
There are no errors in dev_rd and dev_ms as well.
The errors in trace file also give information that ECC system cannot be reached.
However our ECC system was available , up and running and there were no issues at that time with ECC.
I have attached the dump, kernel and patch level details , work process trace files and the response times.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Sowmya.

Provider Webservice in Backend ECC system (NW 7.0, Enp1) and PI /XI 7.0,

Hello
Our backend ECC is on EnhP4 (there by NW 7.0, EnhP1), As I understand, since NW 7.0, SP 14, webservices runtime has been changed significantly to support asynchronous webservices (through WS-RM).
This ECC system is connected to our PI 7.0 system. In the back end ECC system, when I create ABAP server proxy for a synchronous interface from SPROXY, the generated proxy is also visible as a service in SOAMANAGER. However, when I do the same for asynchronous interface, the service is not visible in SOAMANAGER.
Is this an expected behavior? Does this mean, we can only expose 'out side in' approach webservices in synchronous mode if the ESR is of version 7.0? The reason I say this is when I connect the same ECC system a PI 7.1 system, I am able to expose asynchronous services that are generated out of SPROXY.
The intent here is to design the interfaces in XI 7.0, expose them as web service in ECC and consume the webservice using another EAI tool that supports WS-RM.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
KK

Stefan
Thanks. Your answer makes sense with what we are observing. Do you know if this is documented somewhere in help documentation or some note.
On another note what doesn't make sense to me is why this limitation? Not sure what I am missing. Doesn't the webservice runtime in NW 7.0 support WS-RM from SP14. Why should it be dependent on the version of PI in case of point to point webservice. Unless you say we can use WS-RM in back end NW 7.0 through PI 7.1's WS adapter only.
For me this sounds like a limitation on the NW 7.0/SP14 side. What do you think?
