Integration model activation

Hi All
Goal : To activate the Integration model
Right now, we are working on quality systems (both ECC and APO). There is a Int.Model for masterdata from ECC to APO. The Integration model is not getting activated.
Reason: In APO under /sapapo/cq we have these line items "Base unit of measure for product X cannot be changed' (several hundreds of materials).
Looks like there is a mismatch of Units of measurement for the same product in ECC and APO. For now I am matching the Units of Measurements in both the systems, but its kind of cumbersome because there are several hundreds of materials in the queues.
Also, suprisingly there are some products whose Units of measurements *match* and are still in the line items (queues)
Is there any better way to address this and activate the Integration model?
Thanks
Pooja

Hi Pooja,
It is not advisable to change the base unit of measure in R/3 for the materials which have been transferred to APO. But it may be necessary to change it in R/3. During that time SAP is kind enough to give the warning.
I am not sure how many materials are there in R/3 whose unit of measure has changed. If it is possible to find out using some kind of change document report then it will be good input to next step.
Next step would be to maintain new base unit of measure of the material in the R/3 system is created as an alternative unit of measure of the product in APO (transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1, 'Units of Measure' tab) so that the units can be converted in APO if necessary.
Since you only change the base unit of measure in an R/3 system in exceptional cases, it is assumed that you will subsequently change the change material manually in APO.
Thanks and Best Regards, Manoj
PS: I would encourage you to have look at following notes:
Note 832595 - Product: Base unit of measure cannot be changed using CIF
Note 809596 - Product: Base unit of measure must not be changed

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.

Integration model activation issue - After Prod to Quality refresh of R/3

Hi Guys,
Our R/3 quality system refreshed from production. Hence all the integration models Logical system pointing APO production system. Mistakenly I deactivated all the integration model in R/3 Q system which having APO Production logical system.
All the IM in R/3 quality system are inactive. When try send material getting error message "relavent location doesn't exist".
For that try to move the Location getting error message "Location already exist in APO Quality" system.
Now I want to active the all the Plant, material.etc integration models. Please let me know if any more information and help to overcome the issue.
Thanks,

Make a table level change and set the integration model flag as active in the table CIF_IMOD. This will help you solve the issue .
Go to transaction SE16 . Give table name as CIF_IMOD. Give the name of you integration model and execute . Now all versions of that integration model will be displayed ( this will happen if you have many inactive versions and do not have the RIMODDEL program to delete inactive IM's) . Choose the latest version and go to change mode and set the value of "Entry is active" (technical name ACTIVE) field to I.
You can take help from development team if you do not have authorization to SE16
Thanks

PPM Integration Model Activation did not send delta change data

Hi all,
I have an integration model of PPM's. I activated the PPM for the initial transfer.
When I create a new prod. version, I created a new version of the model for PPM, above the previous active one.
When I activated the new version of model, the system tried to send all data.
I supposed that the system would only send the changed data, because the previous model is active.
but the system sent all PPM's
and it takes too long.
Would you please answer why does the system react like that and what must we do?
Mehmet

Hi
In order to check what is occuring, in your ERP system look at Table CIF_PPM_CHANGED, this will tell you the Material, Plant and Prod Vers of your PPM,s. It also has a field CHANGED to tell you if any changes have taken place and a field PROCESS, which should be set to "X" if the change has passed over to APO.
Check the values in your table to see if this has been set. It should only send the delta records where there is a value in CHANGED and PROCESS=" ".
Also check to ensure that people are not changing the Bills of Material or Routings etc, as this will also resend the PPM´s.

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.
Regards,
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.

Materials not in integration model

Something has happened in my R3/APO Development system where lots of Materials are not in any Integration Model. They should be, and checking in our prod system they are.
I've de-activated and re-activated Int Models but to no avail.
How can I check/update materials to be part of an Integration Model?

For material master integration, the indicator in MARC table should be set properly. During the integration model activation if the MARC table is locked for some reason, this does not happen.
Pl. refer to the following reports
RAPOKZFX - Set APO indicator in MARC table after activation
RCIFIMAX - Consistency between integration models and MARC table
RCIFMTDE - Log the deactivated material masters
Hope this helps!

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

any one has idea how to solve that?
Thanks a lot!

RW,
I am definitely not an expert on SAP Transportation Management. However, maybe your destination system has been set up as bgRFC instead of qRFC?

Problem with activating integration model

When I am trying to activate an integration model, that includes a scheduling agreement (type LF), the activation isn't successfull. It isn't blocked, but it never stops.
In the screen I have a message called "determining delta model" but it never continous with executing the activation.
Does anybody know what could cause this problem?
thanks in advance

Hi,
I am facing the same problem as mentioned in the original post.
Whenever I activate the integration model for vendors, a "CIF_LOAD" window appears with message "Should interval be created" with YES and NO option. Why does this window appears. After clicking on NO option the message "Determining delta model" appears in the status bar and after some time the program gets terminated due to time out.
I have tried following solutions mentioned in this thread.
Refreshed the indexes of the two tables BDCPS and BDCP using DB20.
Executed the transaction BD22 in test run mode, but I am not sure which change pointers option(obsolete or processed) to select for deletion and also which message type. I selected the obsolete option but here too the program got terminated after time out. Besides I am doing this on prduction environment and other integration models like plant etc got activated.
Please help us with this.

Hi Gaurav,
Please split the volume in multiple jobs and see wheather it is running fine or not ?
Also please check CFG1 log on R/3 side .
Also check SLG1 log on APO side .

Problem activating integration model

Hi,
      We have a integration model for Purchase orders and Purchase requisitions, PLanned orders, Manual reservations and production/process orders.
In CFM2, when I activate, it is taking forever to activate.
Here is what I see in CFM2 details:
POs and PReqs     (2.503 no.s)
Planned Orders     (2.503 no.s)
Manual Reservations     (2.503 no.s)
Production/Process Orders (2.503 no.s)
The system has a clock moving in the left bottom corner with the message "Transfer Model type : Purchase orders and purchase Requisitions) and it's taking forever.
I checked this [thread|Problem with activating integration model]. I don't have access to BD22.
ANy other ideas on how I can complete this activation?
Are 2503 too many??

Hi Visu,
Can you split the intregration model for each object and schedule the activation in background through CFM3.
if there is any failure can see problem through SLG1.

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

Error activating integration model in APO

Hi,
I would like to have a solution to the folowing problem.
I've tried to activate integration models in ECC with transaction CFM2.
I've build several integration models for class, customer, masterdata and transaction data.
When I try to activate one of these integration models the system gives the next error message:
outbound queue blocked
Function/Q/SAPAPO/CIF_CBASE_INB
Text:        Reference product has not been classified
I would like to know what causes the problem and how to solve this problem.
I hope to receive an answer soon.
Thanks for the help!
kind regards,
Marco

Hi,
A program enhancement allows you to exclude the relationship between a product and a reference material from the transfer.
The prerequisite for this solution is that this "reference material for materials that can be packaged in the same way" is not required in SCM and is not relevant for the transfer.
Procedure:
Start transaction SMOD. Display the components of enhancement CIFMAT01. On the following screen, double-click function module EXIT_SAPLCMAT_001 (user exit '001' of function group 'CMAT', program SAPLCMAT). In the program editor that appears, double-click include ZXCIFU01. You may have to create the inlcude again if necessary. Implement the system response you want in this include (follow the sample coding given below).
Example:
DATA: LS_MATKEYX TYPE CIF_MATKYX.
LOOP AT CT_CIF_MATKEYX INTO LS_MATKEYX.
if link_to_RMATP_needed = 'X'.
    continue.
endif.
   clear LS_MATKEYX-EXTRMATP.
   MODIFY CT_CIF_MATKEYX FROM LS_MATKEYX.
ENDLOOP.

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.
