Master Data in APO

Hi All
In APO , How we bring master data into APO from ECC ?
How about delta synchronisation ?
what are the prerequisite to this activity?
Hope you might bring from only ECC or external system?
Can APO talk to external system other than ECC ?
are you storing any source of supply info in APO like contract, infor record , SA ?
Are always pointing to ECC system only for all source of supply reference from ECC ?
thanks

OMG.. too many questions.. OK I am trying.
In APO , How we bring master data into APO from ECC ?
You do this through CIF, this is path for data transfering from ECC > to APO or APO>ECC
How about delta synchronisation ?
This is the change transfer, if any change is made in the datas in ECC you need to transfer those change to APO. You can make it as immediate or periodic.
what are the prerequisite to this activity?
which activity? delta transfer?.. you need to have the Open CIF and you have your datas in APO.
Hope you might bring from only ECC or external system?
You can. From external sys too. you need different interface or you can upload data from external server or local file tghrough custom transaction.
Can APO talk to external system other than ECC ?
Yes.
are you storing any source of supply info in APO like contract, infor record , SA ?
Yes.
Are always pointing to ECC system only for all source of supply reference from ECC ?
If you have the interface then you can, you need build it
Now if you want more kindly follow the link below:

Idoc file to create master data in APO

Hi Experts,
I will be getting an idoc file let say zmatmas02 its extended idoc type with extended segments
i need to upload this file into an APO system
can i use the program RSEINB00 to upload the idoc file , if so what are the steps i need to do,
or do i need to write a custom program with bapi BAPI_PRDSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2 that can upload the data to material master .
I would like to know how to read the idoc file and split and post to the above bapi is my question.
can you pls give me a sample program in both cases .
thank you very much in advance
valid answers surly be rewarded .
Thanks,
Srini.

Hello,
BOM means BIll of Materials you should create materials first and then you have to create BOM where for a finished material you will have set of semi finished or Raw materials as components.
Example: If you are material of finished is CAR then you will have different components for the same like Engine,Tyers etc.
Means your Header material is CAR and component materials are Engine.
Below are the transactions for creation of the same.
Step 1: Material Master
Logistics > Production > Master Data > Material Master > Material > Create General > Immediately MM01
Step 2: BOM creation
Logistics > Production > Master Data > Bills of Material > Bills of Material > Material BOM > Create CS01
Step 3: Work Center creation
Logistics > Production > Master Data > Work Center > ( New Screen ) Work Center > Create CR01
Step 4: Route creation
Logistics > Production > Master Data > Routings > Routings > Routing > Create CA01
For Routing you need to have a work center defined as Routing is set of operations that you perform on the material to obtain the finished material.
Hope the information is useful

Integration connections to bring master data into APO and BW system.

Hi All,
Can somebody give step by stip activities to be done FOR creating integration connection for following requriment.
1) To bring master data from R3 System to APO system through BI CUBES using BI type connection
2) APO/R3 type connection R3 system to APO system.
Regards

Nikhil,
Request you to let me know how can basis person helps in this.
If this is an existing system, the applications team (APO and BW) will not require much assistance from you. You can mostly sit back and watch them do all the work.
I suggest that you read the help link in its entirety provided by expert Datta. Much of the info there is helpful for both solutions.
For the APO interface (question 2 in your original post) there is a complete step-by-step guide provided by SAP. Check these two docs out.
http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv250/BBLibrary/Documentation/B02_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc
http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv250/BBLibrary/Documentation/B05_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc
If you are being asked to select from one of the two scenarios you outlined, the standard Core interface is by far the simpler to implement. Plus, it has the advantage that SAP will support you when something goes wrong.
The BW solution is different, in that the developer (you?) MUST have detailed specifications before he can proceed. Which master data? At what organizational levels? How often refreshed? What will be the ultimate use of the data, and how must it be stored? Where will it be stored? How to deal with inconsistencies? Etc etc. SAP support will only solve technical problems in your solution, they won't solve errors of design or logic, unless you happen to get a very accommodating support person when you raise your message.
But in case a basis person need to create RFC how can it be done for above scenario.
The instructions for creating all the RFC stuff is contained in the connectivity doc I cited above.

Master data for APO

Dear Experts
I want to learn apo,could you please guide me,how to start with APO,Ahich master i ahve to maintain Material Master Machine master etc...
Regards
Raj

Hi Mr Jindal.
There are many module in APO. DP,SNP,GATP,PPDS
For DP(Demand planning) following link would be of you help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm40/helpdata/en/8f/9d6937089c2556e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
Regarding Master data in DP,there is only one master data that is CVC. (charateristic combination Values)
For SNP.
In case of SNP Master data
We cif the data (means transfer the data from ECC R/3 System using Core interface)
First we CIF Plant,then Work Centre,then Material,BOM and Routing.
There after we maintain transportion lane and assign this all to version and models
Link for the study material is

ECC to APO : Master Data

Hello Everyone,
In a few months, our SCM APO will be integrated with ECC and all our master data will come from ECC. What would be the best practice in maintaining master data in APO if in case the data integrated is incorrect? Based on my testing, one example would be a PPM. There were operations that should have not been sent to APO. Should I just delete the PPMs and the resources related to the incorrect operations then integrate again correctly?
Thanks.

Hi,
The scenario what you are facing will be experienced by
many of the organisations.
The best practice is that before ciffing it up, one has to
do a thorough audit of all pre-requisites and accuracy of
master data maintained.
This itself will reduce the most pain areas and deltas after
ciffing.
Once after ciffing, if you still face problem, carry out the
mass consistency checks which will throughout the
areas where corrections are required. You need to sit
for more days and to identify the areas where corrections
needs to be initiated and make the corrections and then
recif it. Deletion in APO may not be the correct approach
as this will leads to more complexities and consistencies
in system

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.

Master Data from SAP BW to APO BW

HI Guys,
I have master data (0Material, 0Customer etc) coming into BW from ECC. Now, I need to pull this master data from BW to APO BW system. I will appreciate if any one could let me know the best way to pull this master data into APO BW system and how will we do that?
Thanks,
Manmit

Hi Manmit,
It is just like pulling data from R3,u need to have a RFC connection between APO and BW .....Which will be done by the basis.
Then trigger the data from APO to BW like u do for R3 or you can use REMOTE process chain to trigger the PC from APO itself depending on the requirement.
If u trigger the PC in BW,the data will flow to APO-BW and can be Viceversa and like any other PC it can be scheduled.
RSPC>processchainsTools>General Services-->Remote Process Chains.
We have give some conditions here...
YOu can seach the FORUM for REMOTE PCs and its applications.

Transferring Product Master Data Changes From APO to ECC/R/3

Is it possible to transfer product master data changes in APO to ECC via the CIF? If so, does it require custom coding?

Hi James,
In all the different clients where APO is being used with ECC systems. ECC system is always the main system (system of record) which contains all the master data and data present in ECC supposed to be the reference for APO system for planning purpose.
Generally it is not recommended to transfer master data from APO to ECC but as mentioned earlier by some experts you may have ways to do that.
I would be interested in the business scenario where one needs to transfer master data from APO to ECC.
Thanks,

Updating of data in APO DP - what is 'best practice'?

I am using APO DP V5.
I am using XI as an integration broker to receive data from external sources which is to be loaded into APO DP.
There are of course different ways of doing this, for example:
1. From XI, pass an XML message which then loads a delta queue in APO BW, loads an InfoCube, which is then used to load data into an APO planning area
2. From XI, pass the data into BAPI parameters, which are then used to directly update data in an APO planning area via a BAPI call (eg BAPI PlanningBookAPS)
What is the recommended 'best practice' here?
Thanks,
Bob Austin

Hi Bob,
I do not have experience in SCM 5.0 and XI but shall give my views from general experience.
What kind of data you are loading in APO DP is the driver for the two ways mentioned by you.
Traditionally (older versions of SCM/APO and non XI interface) Sales History is captured into an Infocube and then loaded to DP Planning Area. The reason - you normally use this Infocube for generation of CVCs which is the Master Data in APO DP. Moreover you will use this data to generate Proportional Factors for disaggregation of Statistically generated Forecast at aggregate level to the lowest level. So there is a requirement for loading Historical data from external systems to APO DP via an Infocube.
The other kind of data would be market and sales forecast. This is a timeseries data which need to be directly loaded to the Planning Area for immediate Interactive Planning. In that case rather than putting it in an Infocube and then periodically loading the data from the Infocube to the Planning Area, its better to load the data directly in the Planning Area. There the BAPI will be a good option.
Hope this gives some ideas to your query.
Thanks,
Somnath

How to compare & save master data after cifing

1.if i want to compare /check & save the exact no. of master data in apo which i have transfer from r/3 to apo what is the transaction used in apo?how can i compare this two ? what exactly transfer
in R/3 we do it easily,what is the option in apo?
2.for resource its very difficult to check as the R/3 work centre & apo resource nomenclature are different? how i can check & save?
for eg. WAG-5_1000_001 in apo which is AG-5 in R/3
waiting for your response.GURUS
regards
ven

Dear Ved,
As there is no Such Transaction for Comparing...only u can compare through Logs.....The solution is u have to write a ABAP Program to Compare R/3 and APO.
Following are the only Transaction related to SAP-SCM- CIF are,
/SAPAPO/C3
/SAPAPO/C7
/SAPAPO/CC
/SAPAPO/CCR
/SAPAPO/CCRR
/SAPAPO/CIFPUCUST02
/SAPAPO/CP2
/SAPAPO/CPP
/SAPAPO/CPP1
/SAPAPO/CPP2
/SAPAPO/CPPA
/SAPAPO/CPPR
/SAPAPO/CQ
/SAPAPO/CQINW
/SAPAPO/CW
migt be this will help u

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

What is the Sequence of Master data and Transaction data R/3 to APO

Hi guys,
What is the Sequence of Master data and Transaction data R/3 to APO through CIF?

Hi,
Master data,
Material Indipendent data can be sent without any dependency.
Material Dependent data sequence is as follow.
Plant,
MRP areas,
Supply area,
Material,
MRP area material,
planning material,
ATP check,
Purchase info recards,
schedule agg,
PPM or PDS (But before PPM or PDS work center should send to apo) If PDS is sending then BOM should send before PDS.
Transaction data.
As per the business requirement what is planning in apo.
