Info structures S031, S032 & S033 stopped updating since 09/2009.

Hello friends,

In our DEV system, Info Strucres S031, S032 & S033 stopped updating after 09/03/2009. There are material documents after that date, but infostrucres are not updated. All these info structures are active, and all their requirements are also active. So, what could have gone wrong - how to resolve this ? BTW, in QAS and PRD, these info structures are being updated. Kindly help.

Thanks,

Try running these batchjobs/programs in SE38:

RMCBS031

RMCBS033

Run it in background for a small subset of data and see if it helps.

Hi,

Please check the OSS Note 64636.

HI,

The structures are always updated when you execute a transaction that is supposed to update the struture, almost real time. The small technical difference: it is updated asynchronous.

Means you have a time difference of a few milliseconds to seconds from the synchronous posting of a material document and its update in the infostructure.

And if the update of the infostructure fails for some technical reason, then this would have no impact to the original material document. In other words, an update error of an infostructure can lead to inconsistencies.

Tthe regeneration of the infostructure is certainly the way to get the info back to have good numbers in the infostructures. However, you have to investigate first why you have this inconsistencies and what caused them, then you have to make sure that this failure will not happen again (maybe by implementing an OSS note), and then you can think about regenerating the infostructure.

For re-generation, nobody must post anything that updates this infostructure, and the re-generation can last some hours, so it is not a task that can be executed every week.
