Integration model activation

[Former Member]

Hi All

Goal : To activate the Integration model

Right now, we are working on quality systems (both ECC and APO). There is a Int.Model for masterdata from ECC to APO. The Integration model is not getting activated.

Reason: In APO under /sapapo/cq we have these line items "Base unit of measure for product X cannot be changed' (several hundreds of materials).

Looks like there is a mismatch of Units of measurement for the same product in ECC and APO. For now I am matching the Units of Measurements in both the systems, but its kind of cumbersome because there are several hundreds of materials in the queues.

Also, suprisingly there are some products whose Units of measurements *match* and are still in the line items (queues)

Is there any better way to address this and activate the Integration model?

Thanks

Pooja

Pooja,

Please delete the Que in WUF since even the materials that are having correct matching of data are also stuck in the queue

Here Unit of measures can also mean alternate unit of measures for those products.

Please match the Product Master in APO with the Material Master in R/3 before re cifin gthose materials again. You can get this dat from SE16 tables.

Thanks,

Dear Harsh,

I think the message of the failed queues in SMQ2 is clear: "Base unit of measure for product X cannot be changed'

Pooja ,

As Alper has mentioned the only way is to delete the materials in APO and then reactivate the IM in R/3 .

Iam not sure what is the volume of materials involved. But one way to identify the materials with discrepancy is to query MARA in R/3 and dump the MATNR and MEINS field to an excel sheet . In a similar fashion query /sapapo/matkey in APO and dump the MATNR and MEINS to another excel.

Now using functions such as VLOOKUP and CONCATENATE you can find out the materials with UOM discrepancy and MASS delete them in APO and then reactivate IM in CIF. If you are using SCM 5.0 the base UOM cannot be changed in APO .

Regarding the other materials without UOM discrepancy appearing in the queue , check if there are some other master data errors.

Thanks

Hi Pooja,

It is not advisable to change the base unit of measure in R/3 for the materials which have been transferred to APO. But it may be necessary to change it in R/3. During that time SAP is kind enough to give the warning.

I am not sure how many materials are there in R/3 whose unit of measure has changed. If it is possible to find out using some kind of change document report then it will be good input to next step.

Next step would be to maintain new base unit of measure of the material in the R/3 system is created as an alternative unit of measure of the product in APO (transaction /SAPAPO/MAT1, 'Units of Measure' tab) so that the units can be converted in APO if necessary.

Since you only change the base unit of measure in an R/3 system in exceptional cases, it is assumed that you will subsequently change the change material manually in APO.

Thanks and Best Regards, Manoj

PS: I would encourage you to have look at following notes:

Note 832595 - Product: Base unit of measure cannot be changed using CIF

Note 809596 - Product: Base unit of measure must not be changed

Thanks

Hi,

Pl try the following program.

Hi,

The easiest way is to delete all product-location combinations in APO (with the transaction WUF) and retransfer them again from ECC.
