Updates in APO

Former Member

Hi Experts ,

While going thruogh the SAP APO details i got to know about one of the things ie" Even if you change the date on the PO ( Process order ) in SAP manually, APO will override it with the original date."

Is it so ? If i manually change the process order how would it be updates in APO ie if i change the dates will it be reflected in APO as well. And where would i be able to view the changes done.

Helpful and timely reply would be rewarded.

Regards

Hi Athilles,

The updation of changes from R/3 to APO is based on

the settings in customisation for data transfer.

Accordingly, system will override the dates of the

orders.

For every change, if you have set change pointer as

transfer mechanism, then each will be collected as

change pointers and transferred. These can be

viewed using transaction /sapapo/c5

Hope this helps

Hi,

You can display the changes you have done to a production order either in /SAPAPO/RRP4 or /SAPAPO/RRP3 (in elements tab, double click the production order and it will display the production order details like start date end date, statuses, source of supply, etc.

Hope this helps.

Mohan

Can you please be more elaborate?

At what level are you talking about the date change- Finished Good or Component Level

As long as the receipt element is in planned status( planned order) , the dates do get changed

Once it is a confirmed element( Process order), the initial date is transferred from ECC to APO.

If you make any date changes in APO using scheduling, the date change is reflected in ECC as well

If you make any date changes in ECC manually or using scheduling, the date change is reflected in APO as well.

If you would like to prevent, you have the option:

user exit---- Whenever a change is made in ECC, in APO, the status comes as de-allocated

using a user exit, if you send the status as Scheduled, there will be no more date changes in APO and whatever date changes you made in ECC will be sent AS IS to APO

Let me know If this is what you are looking for.

Thanks

Hi Athilles,

Check the APO configuration setting in integration under

object specific settings for publication.

Here there are 3 settings available.

1. No retransfer

Objects changed in SAP R/3 are not retransferred to SAP R/3 when they have been

rescheduled in SAP APO.

2. Always retransfer

Objects changed in SAP R/3 are retransferred to SAP R/3 both after the initial data

transfer to SAP APO and after online transfer. This setting has a negative effect on

performance during the initial data supply. Therefore you should check whether your

business processes actually need this setting. A retransfer after an initial data supply

is not required if you only want to carry out optimization in SAP APO after the initial data

supply, for example.

3. Retransfer only after online transfer

Objects changed in SAP R/3 are only retransferred to SAP R/3 after online transfer to SAP

APO (that is, after manual changes to SAP R/3 orders). There is no retransfer after the initial

data supply. This setting can also have a negative effect on performance. For example, this

setting is not recommended if your business process involves a daily optimization using an

optimization run in SAP APO and SAP R/3 is supposed to adopt the results of this optimization

run.
