Core Interface for new plants

[Former Member]

Hi All:

We created new plants and have all the other transaction data. But when I created the IM for these plants and activated the model, I do not see these plants data in APO. I tried it a few times. I checked if the connectivity between APO and R3 was an issue. It is not. What are the things I can look for? Transaction /SAPAPO/C3 gave me one message 'Incorrect import parameter for method /SAPAPO/CL_CURTO_DB=>SAVE_DATA.

Hi,

Before ciffing plant-material combination, please check whether the plant is getting ciffed into APO via transaction /n/sapapo/loc3. If it is ciffed, then before transferring the material, check whether the mrp type XO is maintained for the material. Before activating in CFM2, press the consistency check so that it displays any missing master data.

Hi all:

Looks like we may have found the problem. But I do not understand the issue.

This is what it is. We have multiple material/plant records for the same material. All these records are there in APO. But when we created a new material/plant for the same material but for a new plant, the data is not getting transferred to APO. But, if we go to R3 and change the material/plant for the new plant, I see it comes over to APO. So, the delta is happening. And my guess is that the material/plant for the new plant is already in some active model. If so, why did it not come over to APO in the first place?

Thanks

Narayanan,

One reason could be that there was a failed queue during IM activation, and 'someone' deleted the LUW rather than addressing the underlying problem. Once the LUW is deleted, the IM can go on to achieve 'active' status even though the underlying data has not been transferred.

Hi,

I am changing a little bit of your terminology to suite the APO terminology. You have a product that is created at multiple locations. The location product (instead of material/plant) is included in a IM, activated and generated. The location product combination is not coming over to APO but when you have a change pointer in the system, the system carries it to APO.

I am sensing a IM inconsistency here. Try running the report RAPOKZFX in R/3 with the material and location. This should tell you if there are any inconsistencies.

Try this and please let us know what happens.

Hi Narayanan,

I guess you are using PDS in your master data. Please check whether the relevant PDS are created in APO before transferring transactional data.

Please confirm

Dear Narayanan,

The common error faced while CIFing plants is in address data of plants maintained in R3. When u activate Plant integration model, please check CIF application log in APO transaction /n/SAPAPO/C3, it will give the detailed error description.

Correct master data as per the error details and then try CIFing again.

Hi All:

Looks like the new locations has been CIFed already. Then I created an IM for some specific materials and some of these plants. I could activate the model, I do see these material plant combo in the active IM (CFM2). But they are not in APO (RRP3 or MAT1).

I checked the following transactions in R3 (SLG1 and CFG1) and (/sapapo/C3). I dont see any log for these.

I checked the queues

Sorry... I send the message before I completed the message.....

I checked the queues both in R3 and APO and they are not blocked. But there are many other logs in APO that are greyed (not red, not green) which tells me that they have not been processed yet. My suspicion is if are processed at all.

I checked the connection (changed a factor in an existing material plant and they flow).

Can anyone help pl?

Hi,

1. Check in CFM2 in your active integration model details if all the plants you are expecting are listed

2. Check inbound/outbound queues SMQ1/SMQ2 inboth R/3 and APO. There must be a CIF block in one of these.

[Former Member]

I checked the queues, both, in APO and the R3 sides and there are no blocks. I tried to CIF just the material/ plant data and activate the model. The model gets activated. But I do not see the material/plant in /SAPAPO/MAT1 at all.

[Former Member]

To my first point, do you see the materials/plants in your active integration model in CMF2?

[Former Member]

Yes Mr.Visu:

I checked for the material/plant in the CFM2 and found them.
