Hi,
we currently maintain several alternate modes in PP/DS PPMs in APO.
When we create a planned order in APO, CIF to R/3, then do conversion to process order in R/3 everything is fine.
When we create a planned order in APO, CIF to R/3, then do conversion to process order in APO, all of the operations are missing and there is a dummy activity present.
We also noted this only occurs when the mode selected in APO by default uses a different resource than the one assigned to the PPM's recipe back in R/3. That is, if the recipe in R/3 uses resource LINE_01 and APO selects resource LINE_02 by default, the issue occurs.If the recipe uses LINE_02 and the APO selects LINE_02 by default, then everything is fine.
Has anyone seen this behavior before ?
Thanks,
Roger
Hi Roger,
Conversion of planned order in R/3 is manual conversion and can override every thing even though it is wrong..but APO does not let you do that.
I didn't understand "if the recipe in R/3 uses resource LINE_01 and APO selects resource LINE_02 by default".
isn't the order created by PPDS in APO? Then they should have the same resource.
I suggest you align the PPM and the R/3 resources in the production version. Is the integration model for PPMs running?

Hi Visu,
For right now, the planned order is created in the product view.
In R/3, the recipe has an operation which uses LINE_01 resource (let's say, production version is L1)
In APO, there are several alternate modes :
LINE_01
LINE_02
LINE_03
By default, when the planned order is created in the product view, the mode with the shortest duration is chosen. In this case, if I create a planned order using the PPM for production version L1, and LINE_03 happens to have the shortest duration, then the order is created for LINE_03. Since LINE_03 is not the resource used in the recipe for production version L1, we run into the issue I mentioned previously.
Coincidently, I also noticed that the R/3 process order type is set to schedule automatically.
When I go into edit mode on the process order operation, make no changes, but then save the order the correct resource and operations reappear in APO.
Regards,
Roger
For what it's worth, I was able to trace the issue back to a user exit implemented for process order change.
However, while investigating, I found out that operations might be dropped if the duration is zero, or the resource is not in an active integration model.

I think in recipe also if you defined the alternate resource line_l3 then system will not change the data while converting Planned Order.
