APO Product View - "unknown" receipt/reqmt element

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

In the product view, elements tab, for the column receipt/reqmnt, there appears "unkown" elements (sometimes, a planned order, or if there is a safety stock), that is created by the system. Sometimes there are no "unknown" elements displayed although there is a safety stock requirment. Why is that? What triggers the system to create "unknown" elements?

Thanks,

Michelle

Dear Michelle,

"unknown" elements are always temporary quantity assignments which can be deleted manually in transaction /sapapo/ac06 or with report /SAPAPO/OM_DELTA_REMOVE_OLDER.

For further information please check note 488725 point 4. and 8.

Hi Michelle,

There are two cases in which you can get these instances.

One is if the system inconsistencies are more, then this will

tend to occur. I would suggest try /sapapo/ccr for the

transactional data and check any inconsistencies

Even if there are customisation missing settings or incomplete

master data (say like number range, OLTP transfer settings)

these will also will give unknown numbers

Hello. These "unknown" elements are only in APO, they cannot be sent to R/3 through CCR, although they are displayed as inconsistencies, they cannot be transferred, the transfer does not yield any CIF queue error details and they are only displayed there as if for information only. So we rule out CCR. You mentioned, customization settings like number ranges - in APO we set number ranges for orders, so a planned order whose APO application is either SNP or PPDS has an assigned number. Why is it that a planned order with APO application 0, meaning initial (created by the system), there is no assigned number? What is the reason why APO creates these "unknown" elements. What other settings in APO and R/3 do I need to look at to address this? Thanks!

Hello. I found this note 1367351 to correct the display of <unknown> safety stock in the product view. Would you know if there is a similar note to correct the display of <unknown> planned order in the product view? Thanks.
