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!

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

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.

CIF user exit works for Integration Model only when we De-Activate

Hi Friends,
I have enhanced the CIF User Exit [EXIT_SAPLMEAP_001] and populated the code in Include ZXCIFU14 for calculating the value of Open Order Quantities[OOQ] with respect to Material, Plant and Contracts, PO's then It transfer the OOQ from R/3 to APO.
Here it is Triggering the User Exit and working fine only when we De-Actrivate and Activate the Integration Model thru CFM3.
But In case of PO changes it is automatically calling the User Exit and Trasfer the OOQ from R/3 to APO.
When we change the Master Data it is not triggering the User Exit Automatically.
Could you someone suggest why we required to De-Activate the User Exit when we run the Integration Model every time.
Please suggest if we need to follow any pre required steps and why this behaviour for User Exit [EXIT_SAPLMEAP_001].
Waiting for your answer......Thanks in advance.......
Regards,
M N Kumar

Hello,
Could you please provide details about the master data you mentioned in your query. This exit is called for PO, PR ,confirmation, shipping notificatoin objects.

Integration model for sales orders failing repeatedly

Integration model for Sales Orders to APO is failing and in the CIF the error says "Customer requirement G BR 0082372353 900010 0000: liveCache problem, retu".
This error appears everytime you we run the integration model and it says in the Job log; ABAP/4 Processor: SYSTEM_CANCELED.
Note that this is "not" manually stopped but it still gives this error.

Hi Kailash,
Run /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 in apo for the part contained in your delivery document, which is failing. While running the report, check the radiobutton, Build the requirements from Doc.Flow table. This will remove the inconsistencies remaining in the requirement table on R/3 side.
Try this and let us know, if you could succeed.

Restrciting Deliveries in Integration model

Hi,
How can we restrict deliveries in integration model by dates? I see the option to select sales orders but not deliveries. Is it with any other name? How do I restrict it by dates?
Thanks.

Hi Raj,
While creating Integration model if select sales order option by default it'll activate deleveries , Quotations and
Customer independent requirements,As far as I,m concerned there is no restriction for date selection,You can restrict only by location product....

ATP Customizing Integration Model

Experts,
I would like to use the ATP customizing integration model to do a one time transfer of ATP customizing from our ECC system to SCM. The model is found in CFM1. When I create the model and send it so SCM, I do not know what configuration transactions on the SCM side get updated. Can someone please give me a list of the config tran codes?
Thanks for the help.
Matthew Bruckner

Hi,
Before transfering ATP customization make sure that you have made below setting
SPRO-Advance planning and optimization-GATP-general settingsMaintain global setting for availability check---
set improt customizing as allowed
post transfer you can check following things APO-:
SPRO-Advance planning and optimization-GATP-general settingsMaintain buisness event(same as checking rule)
SPRO-Advance planning and optimization-GATP-general settings-maintain checking mode(requirement class)
SPRO-Advance planning and optimization-GATPproduct availability checkmaintain ATP Group(checking Group)
SPRO-Advance planning and optimization-GATPproduct availability check-Maintain checking control(Scope of check)
Post transfer again set import customizing to not allowed to prevent changes done in APO getting overwritten

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,

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

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.

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.
