DRFOUT for product merchandise not working in "Change" mode

[former_member951599]

Hello All,

I have configured the DRF setting to replicate Product merchandise data from SAP ERP to POS. The outbound implementation is 0100 and the Business object used is DRF_0060. It works perfectly fine in "Manual" mode but not in "Change" mode. I can confirm that change pointers are being created for my changes, in table MDGV_CP_BO_SYS but has the source as "ALE". I have debugged the entire process and have found that if the Filter time value makes a big difference-

I have tried with filter time = 2(Filter After change analysis) and nothing is filtered in this process even though the change pointers are read from the database correctly.

With filter time = 1(Filter Before change analysis) it fetches a lot of data and still doesn't filter the data according to the data from the change pointer.

The expectation here is that DRFOUT should work in "Change" mode and should read the change pointers and send only the relevant article to POS. Currently, no article is even getting filtered, hence nothing is being transferred(no XML is getting generated).

I might be missing any configuration I am not aware of.

Any input will be highly appreciated.

HI Avisekh,

We had the same issue and we had to replicate changes of article via regular Tcode of BD10 etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Thanks a lot for your reply Adarsh. Just to understand it better, were you able to understand the root cause of this issue or ever tried raising a note? To me it feels the filtering does not work at all with "Filter before change analysis" unless specified explicitly for which article and plant(which we anyway do in manual mode, so might as well use that).

What did you infer?

Also, as an afterthought - If at all we need to explicitly specify the material we need to send in BD10, cant we rather use the "Manual" mode to send the material data? Just wanted to understand your POV on this.

Thanks.

HI Avisekh,

We did raise an OSS but the response was of no use as the functionality of sending changes of materials via DRFOUT does'nt seems to work. We created a variant for changes and had setup a background job to send the delta to subscribing systems.

Regards
