/SAPAPO/SYSDIR - Entry not found for Logical System

Question

Hi Guys...
I have upgraded a new SCM 5.0 box from a database copy of APO Production. Ran the BDLS to convert the logical system pointing to Quality box. The challenge I am facing is to define a Distribution Definition in SPRO for Planned Independent Requirements. One of the values required in the Publication Definition is 'Logical System'. I need to point this APO Quality system to R/3 Quality system.
Since this happened to be an upgrade from an APO production database, this does not have the R/3 Quality system in the list of Logical Systems when I do the drop down. All it has is the logical system name of the APO Quality System (Self) and R/3 Production System.
When I create a new entry by manually entering the logical system name of R/3 Quality System, it says no entry found in /SAPAPO/SYSDIR. My question is, how do I populate this directory with the logical system name of R/3 Quality system? Your answer at the earliest will be highly appreciated with correct points.
Thank you.

Answer 1

Location in APO is nothing bu the Plant Master Data ( Or Vendor Master, Customer etc)
Goto Transaction- /sapapo/loc3 to view both the plants JNa and JWA
I think that you would have to define the integration mdoels which define what data( MASTER and TRNSACTIONAL) has to flow from R3 and APO and vice versa.
Contact your APO Functional Team to set these up for the new logical system(SCM Quality) in the transactions- CFM1 and CFM2 and define the data which has to flow between the systems ( R3 and APO)
For your 2 locations:
Follow these steps in the meanwhile with the help of APO Functional Guy
(1) Define the CONNECTIVITY steps which I have mentioned in the previous reply in R3 Quality
(2)Goto transaction- CFM1
Enter a model name- LOC( Any Name)
Enter a logical system- SCM Quality
APO Application- Lo(Any NAme)
Select PLants check box and
IN the right hand side- General selection options input the 2 locations- JNA and JWA in the Plant Field
Save this and execute and then save it.
(3) Goto CFM2 and automatically you should see the same model as you deifned in CFM1.
Execute this.
The above steps make sure that the Location( Or PLant) master data is sent over to APO Quality.
Now the source system should have been changed on the location masters in APO.
Hopefully this should resolve the issue and you will be able to enter a publication type for your locations- JNA and JNW
There are many other steps which you need to do apart from these for your entire setup.
Good Luck with this problem
