Transfer to ECC fails in the SCM 7.0 testing system

[Former Member]

We use only DP and are upgrading from SCM 5.0 to SCM 7.0. The planning book from where we transfer the Demand Plan to to ECC has a time bucket profile set up where it is maintained in months and the display is in weeks. The transfer to ECC happens in weekly buckets. Beacuse of this in the testing system for SCM 7.0 - the transfer fails as the system says that "Transfer to R/3 with mixed periodicites is not allowed".

The transfer has worked fine in SCM 5.0 version for over 3 years. Any suggestions here will be greatly appreicated.

Thanks,

Hi Sarita,

Please check the link below. It clearly states the data view used for the transfer process should have one periodicity only.

A planning buckets profile with one periodicity only (if it contains more than one periodicity, the job is aborted with an error)

If you need different aggregation levels for the transferred demand (e.g weekly for 2 months forllowed by monthly for 10 months), you may have to release the demand in 2 steps.

Step 1: Release with a data view with only 2months in weekly buckets

Step 2: release with a dataview month 3 to month 12 in monthly buckets.

Thanks Ashok. I tried something along those lines and could get the transfer to work.

Hi Sarita,

Great to know you got it to work.

If it's not too much trouble, could you please share what exactly you did so we could learn from it as well?

Thanks,

I created a new perioditcity only in weeks and used that in the planning book to transfer to ECC. The earlier periodicity was in months and weeks and hence was causing the transfer job to fail.
