Impact of PR created in ECC from APO

Hi,
there are 2 systems, ECC1 and ECC2. now , Purchase requisition is created in ECC1 and transferred to ECC2 through idoc messages.
but the process is changed and instead of PR created in ECC1 , APO creates the PR and transferred to ECC2.
Now , my job is to analyse the impact of PR created from APO.
what would be the impact and are there any side eefects of this ?
Raghu

Raghu,
Based on the business requirements stated up until now, it is unclear what business processes will be performed in which systems, and what data must be maintained in each of the 3 systems.
So, a direct answer to the latest post.
If you create PRs in APO, and transfer to ECC2, the implication is that all data required for the creation of PRs must first exist in APO. This means all master data, and enough transactional data to support PR creation, and configuraton to support planning (you haven't stated if you intend to perform planning in APO, but I will assume this is the case).
If you thereafter treat ECC2 and APO as the primary OLTP-Planning combination, then there are no special implications. You can establish 2-way CIF between this pair, and, as far as APO is concerned, you can 'pretend' that ECC1 does not exist. The sole source of Master and Transactional data in APO would then be ECC2.
If it is necessary to continue to exchage some data between ECC1 and ECC2, I would suggest that you continue to use IDOCs, and do not attempt to connect ECC1 to APO. In addition, my opinion is that you should evaluate, 'is it still necessary to retain 2 ECC systems?'
You ask about the impact of creating a PO in ECC1 without the benefit of a PR. That totally depends on what you intend to do with the PO in ECC1. Technically, SAP supports the creation of POs directly, without reference to PR. However, without knowing your entire business cycles (eg, order-to-cash, plan-to-execute, and procure-to-pay) I can't tell you if you will run into problems.

Purchase Requisition converted to Purchase Order in ECC from APO - PPDS

Hi All:
When I check the conversion indicator of a PR in APO and save, it initiates the trigger to convert the PR to PO and everything works fine. When I check the invoice tab of the PO in ECC, the tax code is blank. But when I try to convert another PR to PO in ECC using ME21N or ME21, the tax code entry becomes mandatory. Question is, where in APO do you set to trigger the transaction and the ID? Pl. help?
Thanks
Narayanan

Hi Narayanan,
I think when you convert Preqs to POs thru RRP7, POs are created in ECC thru default transaction ME21 or ME21N. Since you are able to create Purchase Orders, nothing is required on APO side. The necessary information passed from APO to ECC thru IM of purchase orders is start and end date, material, supplying and destination plant. All other information is selected from ECC customizations (SPRO) and material master in ECC.
Please check SPRO in ECC and material master (tax, Accounting tabs) with MM / accounts consultant or user. Alternatively, you can update POs using z code.

How to call BRF Plus created in ECC from SAP PO 7.4 mapping

Dear All,
I'm working on a scenario where we are using BRF+ created in SAP ECC.
Since the business rules change frequently,we decided to used BRF+ instead of NWBRM where user/functional consultant can maintain rules easily.
The application is already created in ECC based on business requirement now I have to used this rules in interface to transfer data based on rules.
How can I call BRF+ rules through message mapping?
Can we used rfc lookup or soap lookup like we do in NWBPM in SAP PO 7.4.
Regards
Niraj

No, it is not an authorization issue.
As this interface has been generated in 4.7 using transaction BDBG, I am not able to change it in ECC 6.0.

Purchase order creation triggered from APO diferent from one created in ECC

Hi All:
When you check the 'Conv. Ind' against a purchase requisition in /SAPAPO/RRP3 it triggers conversion of PR to a PO in ECC. The problem is, the PO created this way does not have a tax code in the PO item> Invoice tab in ECC. But if I try to convert the same PR to PO using transaction ME21 or ME21N in ECC this field becomes mandatory. Question is , is APO trying to use a different transaction. If so, how do I find out what it is?
Pl help.
Thanks
Ryan

Thanks for your reply Sreeni:
I understand the process of PO creation triggered from APO is automatic. But what is the setup needed to automate it? Is the setup in ECC or APO or both? Where do you setup which PO creation transaction to trigger in ECC to create a PO triggered by APO? Pl. let me know.
Thanks
Ryan

How to transfer Sales BOM from ECC to APO DP

Hi,
Demand planning require Sales BOM from ECC. Sales BOM in ECC will not have Routing & Work center, then how a PPM with Sales BOM can be transferred. If i have to create a dummy routing & WC for those sales BOM it will be tidious job to create all the master data. Is there any way to transfer the BOM alone from ECC to APO.
Please throw some light on it.
Thanks & Regards
Shan

Hi Somnath / Ritesh,
Are you sure about ciffing Sales BOM(usage 5)to APO as PDS ? Did you test it or your comments are based on SAP documentation?
I tried to CIF Sales BOM as SNP PDS, it is creating PDS with only parent item.Child items are missing.I have not used any production version here.
If i use production BOM(usage 1), it is creating PDS with both parent and child items.I have not used any production version here also.
SAP says BOMs can be ciffed to APO as PDS. No productions versions are required. but it has not mentioned about BOM's usage. May be , Is it by default production BOM?
One more question, Is it possible to create production version with BOM usage 5? It has no meaning right..
I think system does not allow you to create production version with BOM usage 5.
I also tried with BOM usage 2. In this case also it behaves like sales BOM.
looks like only production BOM can be ciffed with proper BOM structure in APO.
if required i can send you the link to share screen shots.
Pls comment..
regards,
Umamahesh

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.

Transaction data from ECC to APO DP

Dear All,
Can you tell me if i can directly load transaction data directly from ECC to APO BW Infocube.
For example i want to load say sales orders from ECC.
Can i directly load from ECC --> APO BW Infocube --> DP Keyfigures.
Or any staging is required inbetween ECC and APO BW
Thanks

Transfer purchase requsition from ecc to apo

Hello,
When creating purchase requirements in ECC, they are not transferred to APO although there is model integration. If I activate again the model, the pur req are trasnferred.
In CCR
It gives the error 181 in Schedule line does not exist in APO
Schedule line does not exist in APO
Message no. /SAPAPO/CIF181
And the Queue is not bloqued, and the model is active.
Thanks

Hi Fernando,
Based on the information given, it seems there is problem in
activation.
1) Check is there more than one model activated for purchase
requisitons
2) Check the master data (purchasing view) has been
maintained for those items in R/3 level
3) Check distribution definition is maintained in APO
customisation
4) I have a query in which, in general PR transfer will be
from APO to R/3, in your case it is reverse, is there any
business requirement?
5) Check transfer to SNP orders to OLTP system in APO
customisation

R. Senthil Mareeswaran.

Trnasfered plant from Ecc to APO, but location not found

Transfered plant from Ecc to APO, but the location is not available in APO Master data

HI
1.Check the Integration models which you created for the plant
2.go to CFM5 TICK THE PLant on the left side and give the plant in the right side box under plant textbox and Execute
Now u will get a screen on the left side double click on plant and then u will find your plant.
Select the plant and click on the icon of check
now if u find any Integration model and the plant is active then do Intial Transfer for the Integaration model.
otherrwise add the plant in the integration model and do Delta transfer for plants integration model

Regarding Integration Model to CIF from ECC to APO

Hi ,
Please assist me in the following issues:
What will the impact if any material is ciffed twice or multiple times from ECC to APO through IM ...will it generate inconsistency ? if so, how we can avoid this ?
While I'm ciffing the material from ECC to APO through IM, the ' Find Master Data Object ' is showing certain number say 'X' but when I'm running CTM for it the explosion of BOM of Master Data is showing less number of material than 'X'...in that case what might be the possible issue ?
While generating IM , can I club Sale Order, Sale Order Stock, Planned Order, Prodn order under same variant ? or ill it generate inconsistency ?
TIA
-Michael

Hi Michael,
1. It is not a problem. Is is quite common to CIF materials twice a days or even more. It shoul not generate inconsistencies.
2. You could have more materials than materials bith BOM. In other words, maybe not all your materials have a BOM.
3. Its recommended to have a separate integration model for your object.
Read this document with the Best Practices:

Vendor product relation not transfered from ECC to APO

Hi,
I am new to APO.
We are transferring the info records(me13n) details from ECC to APO by CIF .
But in APO system , when I check the product for the location(/sapapo/mat1) it says the product is not created for vendor.
but this details are present in info records in ECC.
Hence currently, we are manually creating the products for vendor.
Is there any BADI where all vendor-product link can be transferred

Hi Rachel,
You can use BAdI: /SAPAPO/CIF_ENHANCE_TPSRC (method CHANGE).
Take a look at SAP Note:
1873917 - CIF Purchasing Info Record - Product does not exist at
Vendor location
I never used that BAdI, but we made something similar. We made an enhancement some time ago to extend the Product at the Vendor Location. This was done for subcontracting at the time the PPM was transferred. I am not sure if this is your case, because you just mentioned that you needed for a vendor. If it applies, please check here:
483358

CIFing the data from APO to ECC

Hi - I know how to CIFing the data from ECC to APO. But i would like to know how to transfer the data from APO to ECC.I also would like to know how to debug the code...I see some of the questions in this forum on CIF debugging, but they are all CIFing the data from ECC to APO, but i need the other way around ( APO to ECC )
Could anyone provide me the detail steps to CIF debugging ?
I really appreciate your help.

Hi
What kind of data do you want to transfer from APO to ECC ? Lets say you want to transfer live cache reqs generated by APO to R/3 and create firmed reqs , then the following are the prerequisites
1. Make the publication setting /n/sapapo/cp1 as mentioned by DB
2. Make sure the material -plant for which you want to transfer reqs is active in the PO/ Preq integration model in R/3
3. In APO /n/sapapo/sdp110 make sure the transfer setting is set to immediate.
Once all this is done , you dont have to do anything manually. The reqs will get transferred to R/3 automatically.
Also we have to transfer master data from R/3 to APO since R/3 is the master and i dont think it is possible to do the opposite - transfer of master data from APO- R/3 (no standard tool available) . Also we generally transfer only live cache reqs and PIR's (demand plan) back to R/3 . For PIR's you need to use the transfer profile.
Thanks

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.
Hozy
