CIF Customer material

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are working in SCM2007 and wants to CIF Customer material from R/3 to APO.

Before hand all necessary master data ( plant, material, customer) already CIF to APO.

We did maintain VD51 customer material info on R/3 side and activated Integration Model.

Do we have any more setting required for above scenario on R/3 side ?

Appreciate your help in advance.

regards, Sumant

Normally CIF will not create customer materials.

Why should it?

It may be required for TPVS but not normal APO (SNP or PPDS).

You can probably use a user exit, a similar one which I used to create the materials at vendors.

I am not sure with v7.0 as I have not tried it yet.

But with v5 and v5.1 you have to do it via user exit.

Hello Senthil,

Once again thanks for your prompt reply and keeping this thread alive.

All the points mentioned above are already done and as mentioned earlier, we have all required master data CIF to APO.

In Integration model, I have selected Material, Customer and its recognise correctly and model activated.

But without any error, model is active, however *material at customer location (Type : 1010) * is not yet available in APO.

Hope I have explained the scenario with requirements correctly.

Thanks in advance, Sumant

Hi Sumat,

I am not sure I get it right but are you trying to create product / customer information in APO via CIF?

If yes then please note that is it a SCM7 functionality, and not SCM2007.

Sorry if I misunderstood you

Hi Sumant,

1) Only customer location needs to be maintained prior ciffing

the customer material.

2) The customer material needs to have mrp type as XO

3) All MRP views and other views of customer material

needs to be maintained

When you are selecting customer material in CFM1, just do a

consistency check so that it will throw errors if any. Also

check whether the customer material you have selected in

CFM1 is recognised.

During ciffing, please let me know if you are getting any

error.

Hi Senthil,

Thanks for your reply.

All required customer master data is maintained in R/3 and CIF to APO.

Also we maintained customer material combination in VD51 transaction.

Now we want to CIF the material at customer location ( Location type : 1010 in APO).

Is there any more setting to CIF material at customer location ?

Thanks in advance.
