CIF integration of characteristics that were deleted at APO

Question

Hi Experts,
we had some characteristics in APO that were transfered from the ECC. But since it was no longer used they were deleted at the APO system. But now we need to use againd some of these characteristics, and when we try to integrate this characteristic they stopped at the APO inbond queue whith the message "master data missing for characteristic &&".
I checked the table TCL_ATINN_IDENT in APO and the characteristics that were deleted in the past are still there but with an internal number at the field ATINN_NEW.
Does anyone knows how can we proced with this issue?
Is there any report to clean this data in the table?
thanks in advance

Answer 1

Ok, I"ll try to explain this issue.
1 - We had a class (type 300) with some characteristics in ECC that were integrated with APO;
2 - When this class (type 300 and 400 in APO) and characteristcs were not used anymore in APO, they were deleted (classes and characteristics);
3 - But today we need to use these characteristic again.
4 - We have some classes (type 300) that is integrated with APO. These classes has the organizational Area M that is created in ECC and APO;
5 - Those characteristics that were deleted from APO, is now in attributed at the new classes that are integrated with APO;
6 - To Integrate those characteristic we put the organizational area M in them at the related classes;
7 - After that those characterist stop at the APO (inboud Queue SMQ2).
Let me know if you could replicate the issue
thanks and Best Regards
