Integrated Modeler Filter

Folks,
Here is what I do: I log into BW, RSPLAN transaction, Click Start Modeler, Select Aggregation Levels tab, Enter /pbfbi/* and click Start, Select BB Budget Forms 00 and then select the Filter tab.
I get Error: 500 Internal Server Error
                  Failed to process request. Please contact your system administrator.
                  java.lang.NullPointerException
                  at com.sap.ip.bi.plan.selobj.designer.util.model.SellobjCNS.FromTable(SelobjCNS.java:748)
Can anyone give me a direction to go. I've looked through the logs, nothing more than "java.lang.NullPointerException". I've searched notes and forums. I can't find a correction to this.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
A couple of things you might want to try:
It looks like you're trying to use some SAP delivered IP functionality (you're looking for an object in namespace /pbfbi/* which looks like the SAP-HR business content namespace). Could it be that the business content filters have not been properly activated in RSA1? Perhaps try to activate all the related business content again.
Another thing to check is whether your aggregation level is active. I sometimes get short dumps if the agg level isn't activated, especially if the underlying cube has been changed in the meantime, rendering the filter in question invalid.
Another way to look at the filters is to go into Query Designer and look at an existing query (or create a new query) on that aggregation level. If you have no problems seeing the filter there, then it could well be an issue in the Planning Modeller Web Dynpro.
Hope this helps.

Manual Reservations Integration Model

Hello All,
In our project, during Go-live we dint had manual reservation Integration Model Activated due to some business reason.
whenver a process order is created in R/3, Reservations for Components appear in R/3 and APO.
Now when the components are good Issued in R/3 during Finished Product Process Order, these dependent reservations are not deleted in APO though the stock is reduced. Upon analysis we found that by activating the Manual Reservation Integration Model , these reservation will be deleted and hence both the R/3 and APO System will be in sync.
Now the Problem is when we are trying to do this manual reservation Integration Model activation through Batch Job , activation is taking a very long time. Upon further analysis we found that for the material-Plant combinations, program tries to search records in table RESB and approximately it takes around 5 minutes for each material -plant combinations. In our integration model we have around 2400 Material-Plant Combinations. CFC3 settings for Reservations are select block size of 1000 and filter block size of 512. R/3 version is 4.7.
Table entries in RESB are close to 3.5 Million with 141 Extends.
So just wanted to check with you guys if anybody has experienced this problem before and what resolutions were put in place to addres this ? Are there any SAP Notes available ? I searched but could not found any.
also what would be the best way to go forward? Some of the options i could think are
1) Run the I.M for selected material-Plant Combinations
2) Run the I.M for generic selection Criteria ( i.e AS IS) during Weekend.
Pls share your opinions.

Pawan.

Hello Kenneth,
As i understand from your message that if a final Issue Indicator is unchecked, then those reservations should be present in APO. However i got confused with your below statement
Therefore it is neccessary that reservations with final issue indicator set are available in APO.
I think you might be trying to tell reservations with final issue indicator unchecked ( and not SET) are available in APO.
Regarding Transaction Code MBVR, I have few queries
1) Does this T-CODE MBVR sets the deletion Indicator in Table RESB or does it delete the Reservation permanently from Table.
2) I am not able to locate Completed Items field, which will enable me to delete Reservations. Can you pls let me know the field name.
Pls note that whenever i am trying to delete reservations thorugh t-code MBVR, it gives a message " No Document exists for the Speficied data".
thanks for your assistance,
Pawan.

Requirement Reduction integration model

Hi,
Can someone explain in layman terms with an example what happens when "requirment reduction" object is CIF'd alongwith Planned independent Requirements (to APO). Why should/would someone create an integration model for requirement reduction when integration models exist for PIRs and Sales Orders consumption settings are taking care of netting (as applicable/set). we have funtionalities for consumption and reduction of sales orders from PIR's e.g in APO and ECC.
Thanks
Lok

Hello,
I would like to see a clear explanation to that as well.
From what I understand reading about this topic it is to have additional control over this by applying own logic in CIF.
Quoting the SAP documents:
<<If you set this indicator, you can create integration models specifically for
the Requirements Reduction filter object type (type T_FCC).
The filtering takes place on the basis of active integration models for
requirements reduction. In this case, you can control in greater detail for
which material-plant combinations a requirements reduction should be transferred
to SAP APO.>>
For normal cases this is not needed. Perhaps it is needed if you want certain shipments to other plants to reduce forecast. E.g. mixed MRP.

CIF Queues generated without active integration model

Hello All,
We are facing a unique issue, where queues are seen in SCM queue manager although those products are not there in any active integration model for transaction data.
The scenario is as follows:
1. We are CIFing only master data as we have only DP and release to R/3
2. There is active integration model for master data
3. There is no integration model for transaction data
However in SCM queue manager, I am seeing queues of type CFFCC "Location" "Product".
The function module name is /SAPAPO/CIF_IRQ_REDUCT_INBOUND.
We observed in R/3 that the goods movement transaction code MB1A is trigerring TRFC's which is generating the queues.
Has anyone encountered a similar scenario like this?
Regards,
Kedar

Oi Jackeline!
Hello, all!
I think Vikas got the point, but let me be more specific...
The transfer of requirement reduction depended in previous releases (until PI 2002.1) only on an integration model for material master data being active. Then a new type of integration models was created to control the sending of requirement
reduction.
To activate the new logic a flag has to be set in customizing.
Use transaction /CFC9
OR
R/3 SAP Customizing Implementation Guide
-> Integration with Other SAP Components
-> Advanced Planning and Optimization
-> Application-Specific Settings and Enhancements
-> Settings and Enhancements for Requirement Reduction
-> Evaluate the Requirements Reduction Filter Object Type:
Then, flag 'Filter Object Requirements Reduction'
If you set this flag no queue of type CFFCC* will be sent if there is no explicit active integration model for Requirements Reduction. Please set this flag in production and delete any existing queues of type CFFCC*. No new such queues should be created in the future as long as you don't activate the transfer via an integration model.
I hope this information helps to clarify this issue.
Please give your feedback concerning the given solution.
Thank you!

BOP selects products without an active ATP CIF integration model ?

Hello experts,
while setting up a GATP BOP Process I'm realizing that BOP is not automatically restricting the products from the loaction to which have an active ATP CIF model.
Example:
Location: 1000
Products: A, B, C
Product A is in APO for DP and SNP reasons and there is no ATP CIF model for A-1000 combination. Products B and C have been setup only for GATP reasons (but not for DP and SNP). If I run the BOP for entire location 1000 (product fiter = empty) it is picking all 3 products including product A and is rescheduling Sales orders for product A in location 1000 - although there is no GATP CIF model active.
Is this standard behaviour or do I miss anything here ? (I assumed that APO would never take a product into a BOP Filter which does not have an active and standing GATP integration model towards the ECC system.)
Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
SAP documentation as in below URL
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/9c/066f3928025a6ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm
states for filtering criteria in its pre-requisite . It appears that it only looks for materials filtered in BOP (i.e it does not look for materials meant for ATP check in its CIF).
However, let us wait for comments from experts.
With regards,
Mrinal

System copy:integration models altered

Hi SCM experts,
We have APO 4.1 connected to ECC system.Recently the QAS data is refreshed with PRD data and after that all CIF integration model variants in QAS are pointing to PRD system. There are more than 100 integration model variants and changing the logical system mnaualy to QAS client is taking long time.
Is there any standrad report or t.code by means of which we can do a mass maintenance of these integration model variants ?

Hi deeparai,
You can change the name of logical system in ECC table CIF_IMOD. However, the integration models will not become active unless you generate them again (CFM1/2/3).
Hope this helps in reducing manual work.

CIF - Integration model name and APO application

Hi Experts,
In the CFM1 Transaction, there are 3 mandatory inputs are Model name, Logical system and APO application.
Logical systems are customized in CFC1 transaction. I couldn't trace the model name and application creation.
What is the transaction to customize/Create the new Model name and APO application.
Hope this is very simple question to you and expect your soon.
Thanks,
Saravanan V

Hi Somnath,
Thanks for ur reply.
First I saved the selection as variant. But it was not updated in the IM table.
Then I tried to generate the model and now I can see the details when I use the F4 help.
So, to create a integration model need to generate the variant once.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Thanks,

Dear Srikant ,
Pls check you have followed the below steps in the same sequence for R3 and APO
CIF Settings in R/3
Check ALE settings or activate ALE settings
Define the logical system BD54
Assign logical system to a client SCC4
Set the RFC destination SM59
Assign target system and queue type CFC1
Maintain the SAP APO release NDV2
Activate BTEs for SAP APO integration BF11
User parameters for CIF CFC2
CIF Settings in APO
Check ALE settings or activate ALE settings
Define the logical system BD54
Assign logical system to a client SCC4
Set the RFC destination SM59
Set up business system group
Create BSG /SAPAPO/C1
Assign logical systems to BSG /SAPAPO/C2
Maintain distribution definitions /SAPAPO/CP1
User parameters for CIF /SAPAPO/C4
You have got stuck up somewhere in R3 setting , which I have marked in italic font i.e.Assign target system and queue type CFC1
I hope this will solve your problem .

Not able to include PM order type PM03 in integration model

Hi Experts,
I am creating PM order in R/3 with order type PM03. But while creating the integration model for maintaince order, PM03 is not populating. and others I am getting like PM01, PM02 etc...
Please advise if I need to do some setting for the same.
Thanks
Hitesh

Hi,
Request you to cross check whether the PM03 order type has the below two check box active in IMG. 9 Tcode = OIOA
Open Item Management and Release Immediately.
PM03 order type with the above settings are getting reflected for me in my integration model.

Creating integration model

I have created an integration model using CFM1 & activated in CFM2.
now dont know how to proceed.
is there any document or link to transfer data from R/3 to APO system.
i m new to this field & trying by own.
Thanks in advance.

Best way of creating CIF integration Model
Hai,
Please go through the above thread which can help you for understanding more about the integration models creation.
You have mentioned that you have done CFM1 and CFM2. Can you please inform for which object you have done and what you would like to see in APO?
Giving more details would enable helping you better.

Deleting an Integration Model.

hi Guys
if any kind of changes happens in master data in ECC then we transfer that data in SCM,then what happens with that planning data with which we work earlier.
And Deleting an integration model does not mean that the previously selected data in APO is also deleted.what happens of that data.
thank u
karan
Edited by: karan.sap on Feb 27, 2010 6:36 PM

Hi Karan,
1) if any kind of changes happens in master data in ECC then we transfer that data in SCM,then what happens with that planning data with which we work earlier.
As and when you activate an integration model, a new integration model gets
generated and the earlier one will get deactivated. (provided the model name,
model selection criteria are same). That means the newly changed master data
will get activated to SCM system in which the old change is obsolete.
2) And Deleting an integration model does not mean that the previously selected data in APO is also deleted.what happens of that data
Whenever a new model gets generated, the old model will be there in the system
only and that inactive models needs to be deleted at frequent intervals orelse
it will add inconsistency to the system. This will be done using CFM7 transaction
by selecting inactive models indicator. Whether the old model is deleted or not, but
system always will read and plan as per the newly activated model.

Purchase Order Integration Model Activation Error "Source Invalid"

Hi Experts,
When I try to activate Purchase Order CIF integration model for a specific plant, I am getting an error
"SOURCE_INVALID" r XC 014
When I checked failed LUW, found one product which is Subcontracted.
These a Subcon PO exist at this plant and Vendor is Subcon Vendor.
Before IM activation, I have CIFed Subcon vendor and T-lane between Vendor to plant exists in APO.
Any idea how can I resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Vipul

Hi Vipul,
I hope you have created subcontracting purchasing info record and connected with the productuon version.
Secondly whether it is valid.
A purchasing info record of the category subcontracting which documents the subcontractor as the source of supply of the end product.

TVARV - Integration model.

hi
we currently use TVARV entries for specifying the materials in the integration models ( to CIF to APO). when we use a TVARV entry, we have a limitation of using only 500 entries at a times. so the number of materials in Integration Model is restricted.
is there any way not to specify the materials in the integration model but during runtime.
regards
Joe

Joe
Here is one way to solve the problem . Create a custom field in MARA . It will be a boolean field with values " " and some other non blank value say "Y" . For the materials that you like to transfer to APO , set the value of this custom field to "Y" .
You can enhance your integration model selection criteria and add fields to the IM selection. Add the custom field to the selection . Refer note 360723 . It explains how to add fields to IM selection
Save a variant of the integration model with value for custom field = "Y" . Now all you have to do on a daily basis is to go and set the custom field to Y for materials that you want to CIF to APO . This will make sure the materials get picked by the IM automatically.
Thanks

Staring integration model after activation throws an error

Hello Experts,
I am trying to import Sales Orders from SAP ERP to APO. The integration model is done and the master data like Products and Location are transfeered to APO.
But when I try to transfer the Sales Orders I get an error saying:
Outbound Queue Blocked.
Function/Q/SAPAPO/CIF_ECM_INBOUND
Text: Processing of change number 500000000007 cancelled
Then the dialog box gives the options to goto the: qRFC Monitor, Ignore or Cancel.
The qRFC monitor records theame error.
Kindly let me know how I can solve this and transfer theSales Orders to APO.
Thanks,
Dilip

Dear Tibor,
Thank you for you reply. I will check the authorizations.
After this error I canceled it and went ahead. Then it gave me another error saying Product <> not found.
After getting beyond this error too it gave me about 260 successful messages in the logs. But when I execute the BAPI BAPI_SLSRVAPS_GETLIST2 OR go to the table /SAPAPO/ORDKEY in APO I cant find any Orders.
Can you kindly guide me as to where I am going wrong?
Best Regards,
Dilip

Activtion of PPM Integration Model does not send any data to APO

Hi all,
When I activate my PPM Integration Model, the activation finishs without any error, but no data is being tranfered to APO.
I do not get any error message to start looking for the problem.
Thanks and regards,
LHM

Hi Luiz,
"no data is being transfered to APO" Which data are you looking for?? I am assuming youa re expecting a PPM to be created in APO.
If so,
1. Do you see any PPm in /sapapo/scc03?
2. Check if the pre reqs. for creating PPM as in [Integration of Production Process Models|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/8e/d4ef37e9a4ba6ee10000009b38f842/frameset.htm] are satisfied.
3. make sure to check the inbound APO queue or outbound R/3 queue depending on what you are using.
4. Also not the time of activation and check CFG1 in R/3 to see if you can get any clues.
