About Master data

Location - /SAPAPO/LOC3 Plants (Manufacturing / DC),Vendors, Customers, MRP Areas in R/3 all map to Location master in APO differentiated by Location Type (1001, 1002, 1011, 1010, 1007) Product - /SAPAPO/MAT1 Material in R/3 is mapped to Product in APO. Has multiple tabs similar to that in R/3. Many field values come from R/3 while APO-specific field values are either manually populated or automatically during CIF transfer from R/3 to APO Resource - /SAPAPO/RES01 Work Center (or Capacity) in R/3 defines the machine or equipment used for Production, Storage or Transportation

22

PDS - /SAPAPO/CURTO_SIMU Combination of Bill-of-Material and Routing in R/3 (Production Version). Used for In-house Produced Products to determine components and resource (capacity and time) requirements Transportation Lane - /SAPAPO/SCC_TL3 Purchasing Info records and Contracts in R/3 map to Transportation Lanes in APO that define from where - to where products can be moved and the transportation duration Procurement Relationship - /SAPAPO/PWBSRC1 Displays Contracts, Purchasing Info records and Scheduling Agreements coming from R/3

Two Types of Inconsistencies in APO

40

How to Identify and Fix Consistency Errors

41

Transactional data
Planned Order Manufacturing Order created in APO resulting from Production Planning run for In-house Produced Product. Production Order Planned Order is converted to a Production Order in R/3 which is then executed up (actual production carried out). Purchase Requisition / STR Planned requisition resulting from Production Planning run for an Externally Procured Product . Purchase Order / STO Requisition is converted to a firmed Order in R/3 for subsequent execution. Independent Requirement / Demand Requirement for a finished product coming from customer.This may not be the firm demand but just a plan.
42

Continue
Sales Order Firm demand from customer with a confirmed requirement date and quantity. Stock Quantity of product available at a location either after production or procurement.

Debug CIF and CIF logs

44

CIF Debugging for STOs from APO posted to the R3 SOS as PO

Activate CIF debugging for all outbound queues in APO. Go to transaction /SAPAPO/C4 and make an entry for your user. Make sure your logon carries all relevant authorizations.This ensures that every queue object created gets blocked in the outbound port.

45

Continue
STO is created in APO. To send it to R/3, click on send to OLTP directly. Go to APO queue manager (/SAPAPO/CQ) and notice that an outbound queue is waiting to be processed.

46

Continue
Click on the SMQ1/SMQ2 button and it takes you to R/3 SOS (RD7) inbound queue.

47

Continue
Double click on the queue; you go to the details of the function module called.

48

Continue
Select the function module and click on debug. You will taken to the debugger on R/3 side. From there, you need to debug till the creation of PO in R/3.

The following modules/routines are called in the below sequence : CIF_PO_INBOUND ME_APO_GENERATE_REQ_PO Perform po_create ME_CREATE_PO_ITEM PERFORM neue_pos_bestellung(sapmm06e) PERFORM ptv_fuellen_allgemein USING space. PERFORM ptv_fuellen USING im_activity

Error Handling While Transfer from both ways from APO to R/3 and R/3 to APO

52

Error Handling

53

Error Handling

cont

Communication errors: This includes network problems, a non-existing RFC destination, and so on. Since the data transfer is repeated after certain periods, most of these communication errors should disappear once the network connection is available again. Application error:This includes program errors, non-posting of data in the target system etc. Application errors cannot be solved by the system independently and must be processed by the system administrator.
