No Transportation Lane from SubContracting Info-Record

[former_member568621]

Dears,

Vendor exists in APO

Source - Dest Mat-Locs, incl. MRP Area Storage Location (a location type in APO) exists in APO.

Purchasing Info-Records are CIFd and I am able to see the precise inforecords and plant combinations that is on the way to APO. These plants have their corresponding MRP Area Storage Locations too.

CIF done (CFM1, 2, 9.. ) : no error

But the T-Lanes is created only for one product from among 5 expected. From Vendor as origin to MRP Area Loc Type (of one of the plants) as destination. The said T-lane shows the Info-Record number and Purch Org in T-Lane for only one product. Other products have simply not come in.

What could be the possible reasons ?

Thanks

Amit

Hello,

Have you created subcontracting info record for all materials?

Has External Procurement Relationship is created for info-records?

Please check your integration model, make sure that you have selected subcontracting PDS transfer in integration model.

Also check the out come of CMF1 where all product and inforecords are listed as per the selection.

May be you can run the report like RIMODINI to recif it again.

For more details please refer SAP help document on it,

Thanks Rupesh

The Materials extended to MRP area were not APO relevant and they had deletion flags set in APO for said Material-MRP Area Stor Loc. Actually I did it some weeks ago for some reason rooted in sense. I need 8 sets of eyes.

Thanks Abhishek- You are right.

Gergely- the thing above is all Greek to me. I can perhaps learn Afrikaans much faster 🙂 I do not do /h. Its intimidating and reminds me of my profound levels of illiteracy of matters concerning Art. The best I can do is read program documentation and code comments if its readable. In most case it isn't.

Thanks

Hello,

For Transportation lanes to be created a both plant and MRP area level, you need to remove the storage location in the info record. If Sloc is provided in the info record (PIR) it will create the EP relationship and TL for the MRP area only.

Refer below link for details on above topic:

Distribution of SoS

Having said that the material should exist at the plant and MRP area locations in APO before you CIF the PIR.

You can include the vendor and plant in the PIR IM.

I think your PIR has Sloc and the products are not extended to the MRP area in APO.

If that is no the case I am affraid there seems to some inconsistent data for the info records in ECC. Try to del the info record and create again and it should work.

Regards

Abhishek

Hi Amit,

if you can debug, deregister the * inbound in SCM in SMQR transaction and initiate CFM9 again from ERP.

Then check /SAPAPO/CIF_TPSRC_INBOUND whether all the 5 products are received in IT_CIF_TPSRC or only one. Then you can decide to debug in SCM further or rather check what is sent from ERP.

If data is lost in SCM , here is a call stack for SCM as per: https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/x/XuMoHQ

Have you created subcontracting info record for all materials?

Yes. All materials have SubCon Inforecords and the show list of CFM1 shows that all. Inforec, Plants, Purch Org. All filled neatly.

Has External Procurement Relationship is created for info-records?

Yes. External Procurement Relationship exists for all Info-Records BUT only for the target Location = Plant. I am expecting to see two records per Info-Record in Ext Prod. Rel. One to Plant and other to MRP Area of the Plant.

Please check your integration model, make sure that you have selected subcontracting PDS transfer in integration model.

I am only CIFing SubContracting InfoRecords. We do not maintain PDS for the same. Rather we do not plan for the Vendor capacity etc. We are only interested in creating T-Lanes (from Purchase Info-Records) for the purposes of generating external purchase requisitions and that the system is doing for some other products where T-Lanes exist in reference to Info-Records CIFd.

Also check the out come of CMF1 where all product and inforecords are listed as per the selection.

They are listed. In fact I CIFd vendors also exclusively before CIFing Purchase Info-Records for specific products, vendors and inforecs

May be you can run the report like RIMODINI to recif it again.

I did that for Vendors and Purchase Info-Records but no help

For more details please refer SAP help document on it,

Subcontracting with Source Location

This is referring to manufacturing planning at a vendor location. We are merely generating a distribution receipt from SNP. Onto the external vendor.

Check the material and plant combination integration model active or not, transfer delta changes to APO once again and check the transportation lanes created in APO.

Checked first thing. They have been there.

Hello,

When transferring Purchasing Info Records from ECC to SCM using CIF, the system automatically creates two Transportation Lanes: 1.Vendor -> Plant

2.Vendor -> MRP Area

Have you defined MRP Area for material in ECC

If Storage Location MRP area does not exits, TL should be created only to the plant. Also make sure MRP Area Type must be set to Storage Location.

Please refer SAP KBA 1873860 - Automatic creation of Transportation Lane to MRP Area

Hi,

Check the material and plant combination integration model active or not, transfer delta changes to APO once again and check the transportation lanes created in APO.
