APO - R3 integration

Hello ,
In R3 System we have a option to "Integration with other sap component"--->Advanceed Planer and Optimizer-->Basic Settings for Setting Up the System Landscape-->Specify SAP APO Release ( Via SPRO )
My queries are
1> After upgrade , release of SCM is changed to SCM 5.0 but still settings containing old APO release. <b>Will it cause problems</b>?
2> if we want to change it, how it can be done? ( <b>means ways to do it</b>.I know one direct change through SPRO. Is there nay other way?)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Tushar Chavan

Hello Somnath,
We have to change client setting because if we try to maintain New APO release
via SPRO or via T.Code NDV2, it gives error saying :"Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing not permitted"
Thats why we have to change client settting via scc4.
One more thing is there any way to change this setting to all connected systems
automatically rather than doing it manually to every system connected to APO.( NOW SCM 5.0 )

APO - SNC integration

Hi All,
We have activated both the BF's SCM_APO_DISTR_REC & SCM_SNC_GEN_1. We have mapped the Proact_Out to Proact_In to receive demand from APO system to SNC system. We are using /SAPAPO/PROACT_OUT - Send Demand Data to send Deamd from APO system to SNC.
But when we receive Proact_In message from SAP XI system into SNC sysetm it remains in scheduled status. The message does not get processed.
Are we missing any SNC setting to receive the Forecast in SNC from APO?
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav Gupta
Were you able to fix this issue ? We are also facing the same issue with APO SNC integration. PROACT_In messages are stuck in scheduled status.
Please let me know how did you fix it.
THanks,

APO-ERP Integration - Publication

Hi,
I am trying to create the CIF Integration for the first time and see in APO that I have to make some settings for data transfer.
my question is about the publication:
1. do I have to maintain the distribution definitions for a secific plant?
2 or would it be enough to generate the distribution definitions for a range of publishing types per location?
3. do I have to maintain Object-Specific settings? for example for publishing types "In-house production"
thank you in advance!

Pilvi,
This discussion belongs in its' own thread. It shouldn't be mixed with campaign planning questions.
That said, there are a lot of questions to be asked about your environment.
Is SEQCLNT120 replacing SEQCLNT100? You can't have both ECC systems active with shared master data unless the business process are separate. The business group should identify the primary ECC system that is integrated with APO.
*IF* the master data is the same in both systems and *IF* the same master data is selected by the integration models and *IF* you are replacing one ECC system with another, *THEN* you can use the same integration models. I would create new models to be sure of what master and transactional data are included in the IM's..
Also, delete the old distribution definitions and create new ones to publish to SEQCLNT120. I think you can cut and paste the new ECC logical system in //CP1.
Of course, you need the RFC connections set up between SEQCLNT120 and APO001.

Mike

Extracting Data from APO PP/DS to BW

Hi Gurus,
I'm trying to extract data from APO PP/DS (SCM 5.1) to BW (BI 7.0). I'm new to SCM and am not sure how the extraction from SCM to BI happens other than that we need to read data from LiveCache.
The extractor we are interested are
0APO_PPDS_RESCAPREQ_01
0APO_PPDS_PROD_CUST_01
0APO_PPDS_OPERATION_01
0APO_PPDS_ORDER_01
Pls kindly help me out with the procedure.
Thanks in advance.

Consignment stock vs Unrestricted Stock in SAP APO

DC ( has vendor co location) -------> Tier 2 location ( garage)
can consignment stock (ECC) be considered for replenishment at Tier 2 location in SNP APO by Heuristics / optimizer?
to account for replenishment at Garages from the DC locations , can the consignment stock at DC be used ?
does Heuristics / optimizer consider it to propose transfer orders ?

Hi Ashfaq,
You can plan these stocks in APO by integrating it using CIF.
You can activate the transfer of vendor consignment stocks in the integration model by using the Storage Location Stocks indicator in the CIF integration model.
Make sure that the vendor master data must be contained in the same integration model as the stocks.
Cheers

R/3 numbers are not reflected in APO

HI
i transfered planned order from PPDS to R/3. it successfully CIFed as production order but R/3 production orders are not reflecting in APO. all integration models are in active status. what will be the reason

Hi Thennarasu,
One or more of the input products(components) have special procurement key set in R/3 material master for withdrawal from another plant.
Planned orders are changed in SAP APO and then the conversion indicator is set to initiate conversion into a manufacturing order.
But the queue from SAP APO to SAP R/3 hangs with an error message that indicates that the material in question is not maintained in the certain storage location of a specified plant.
As a result, the planned order is not converted.
Check to maintain the storage locations in customising - Enterprise Structure->Definition->Materials Management->Maintain Storage locations. Here maintain the storage locations of the Plant from which you are procuring the components under the Plant which requires them.
Please confirm
Regards
R. Senthil Mareeswaran.

BW - APO

Hi All,
I am into project BW with APO. I have gone thru the forums and got an idea on APO with BW.
My doubt is
In APO Only DP(demand planning) has the integration with BW?
Is it true? and also can any body give some knowledge on this?
And also please forward me the doc's if any body have?

Unable to reload all the material data from r/3 to APO

We need to resend material data to APO, reinitializing integration model and running RIMODINI program is not helping. They are just sending delta load but not reloading all values.

Hello,
Do you have any custom developments for the interface ? If Yes, then it may impede the transfer, due to bad code or development glitch. Please get a Technical Consultant (ABAPer) to de-bug, add breakpoints to trace where the transfer is failing.
Secondly, hope your all RFC connections (ECC-SCM) are in place, get it checked by Basis team to be sure. Also check the correct logical system are assigned to respective environments.
Hope this helps.

Planned Orders Confirmed In R/3 not changing in APO

We have planned production orders in APO, with order category of EE, that get CIF'd to R/3. In our planning books they show in the production planned row. When the planned orders are confirmed in R/3, the planned orders continue to show as order category of EE in APO instead of being marked as confirmed, category AJ. When planned orders are created in R/3 they come over as AJ orders but when they originate in APO they stay as EE orders. What can we do to get the planned orders to show in the production confirmed row of the planning books in APO?

Hello Harish and Somnath -
Here is the actual and complete scenario. APO is integrated with Repetitive manufacturing in R/3.
SNP Heuristic creates SNP Planned Orders(Category EE). These planned orders are CIF'fed to R/3 and are used by REM. The order type in REM for these orders is PE. Meaning these kind of orders cannot be converted into a production order.There is no conversion of orders or confirming of orders in R/3. The only thing that is done on these orders are they are "scheduled" and even after they are scheduled the order type remains PE and does not change. R/3 folks are not concerned anymore since they see 2) a new tab on the order which gives them the scheduling information.
I have tried out the option of creating a new category group by copying the existing category group FP1( which already contains AJ) and adding EE and assigning this Category group to the confirmed production KF but it did not work. I am assuming since PE did not change in R/3 , no changes have been CIF'fed to APO.
Just to summarize the requirement here:
1) EE orders are created in SNP( Planned Production 9APPROD Key figure) and CIFfed to R/3 and show up as PE orders in R/3 --this works fine since its standard behavior.
2) But as soon as these PE order is scheduled, the order qty should move from Planned production KF to Confirmed production KF 9AFPROD.
Hope this is clear and will appreciate any inputs. I just started looking at this problem today and will post as soon as I fix it. Please let me know if you need any further info.
Thanks a ton!

CRM integration possibility with gATP through ECC

Hey Gurus,
We would like to setup the integration between CRM (731), ECC (606) and gATP.
But I will NOT setup gATP integration directly with CRM. But rather CRM sales order replicated in ECC, ECC should perform the ATP check by calling gATP. Afterwards the ECC sales order replicates back to CRM. Then CRM get the ATP result from gATP indirectly.
And it should not requires performing ATP check manually in VA02 after CRM order replicates to ECC.
Has anyone experience such indirect integration between CRM and APO/gATP?
Thanks,
Br,
Ying

Hi Bala,
Thanks for the input.
While we have the RFC and Logical setup between ECC<->SCM.
And data exchange between CRM and ECC has also been established.
Currently we can run ECC-APO gATP integration.
The thing is we want to integrate CRM into this gATP check through ECC.
As you mentioed: RFC and connections between ECC - APO- CRM, do you mean besides ECC <-> SCM/APO connection, we should also setup the RFC and logical system connection in bi-direction between CRM <-> SCM/APO?
From CRM side, there is one customization about ATP check - "ATP Profile", it can be set as "ECC ATP check" or "No ATP check". (we do not want to use "APO ATP check" profile in CRM).
Based on your experience, which one of the scenario/ATP check possibility would work out for the delayed ATP check scenario?
Looking forward to your further input.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Ying

APO Forecast release

Hi,
We are trying to release forecast from APO to R/3. For one plant, the forecast values are not moved to R/3 and we are getting below given message.
"Material plant combination not planned"
The plant is assigned in selection ID.
Please provide your inputs on possible reasons for the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Nataraj

Hi Nataraj,
Few possible reasons could be ;
1) CVC's not properly maintained in APO
2) Integration models not active for location
3) MRP type of items in the plant not XO but ND
4) Few master data of items in location or location itself missing in R/3 or in APO
Please confirm whether your error fits in any of the categories on the above.
Also analyse the job log which will give more insights to you on this error
Please confirm.

APO vendor location number is not same as ECC vendor number.

Hi Friends,
I have an issue with CIFing Vendors from ECC to APO. ECC team has created Vendors ie Vendor numbers and Description.
For Example I have vendor 10000101 in ECC and when I CIF it to APO using integration model I have no issues. The issue is when I check the CIFed vendor location exist in APO. Using 10000101 and location type 1011 if i try to search for vendor it say vendor does not exist. When I add two zeroes ie 0010000101 now I will be able to view the vendor details. My query is I want to see the same vendor number ie ECC 10000101 (Vendor) in APO. Is there any setting that Iu2019m missing? I really appreciate if someone come up with answer.
Regards
KRN

Hi Senthil ,
Thank you for your reply. The steps you have mentioned here is for replicating the numbering format for materials. ECC<=>APO. I have customized material numbering format using the lexicographical under SPRO>APO>Product>Output format of product number. This activity I have already done.
My question was regarding the vendor number. When I CIF the vendor from ECC to APO. In ECC it does not have leading zeroes but when I see in APO it has leading zeroes. This is where I was wondering and want to know is there any customizing activity to replicate the same ECC vendor number in APO.
Also I need to know if I have the leading zeroes vendor number in APO will it affect my SNP planning. Mean to say ECC without leading zeores and APO with leading zeroes.

KRN

Datasources in APO

Hello, Does anyone know how to create a datasource in APO system? I assume it is different than creating one in R/3.
Thanks,

Hi.....
APO - BW Adhoc Reporting
Steps to be performed in APO client.
(Prerequisite: existing sales cube)
Create Export Datasource for Planning Area :
SAP Easy Access Menu => DP => Environment => Current Settings
=> Administration of Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning
Specify which fields you wish to be selectable later for reporting purposes.
Don´t forget the field ?Version" (/BI0/9AVERSION)
Replicate Metadata
Create Infosource
Assign Source system and data source
Maintain transfer structure and communication structure
Create Remote Cube
Assign Source system
Create Multicube (based on sales cube and remote cube)
Create your reports with BEX according to the your requirements.
In case of APO we use Export datasource.....
Export datasource is used when you want to use BW system as a source system. If you want to send data from one datatarget to other data target within BW system then we go for export data source. right click on the target and say export data source and then go to source system tab
right click on Myselof source system and say replicate data source..then you will find datasource with prefix 8.
