Hi ,

The information given above is for COPY function within Realignment .

Activity 1: Maintain Copy Table

In transaction /SAPAPO/RLGCOPY - Data Realignment selection screen, we choose aplication u201CCopyu201D.

Then we enter data in the block u201CCopy Run: Propertiesu201D:

Plannign Area: Value of the PA in which you want to copy.

Then we create /change u201CCopy Tableu201D.

Next step is to Maintain u201CCopy Tableu201D . Herein we give copy step step details.

Activity 2: Executing the Copy Run

Either online or background. Background will be preferred,

Hi,

In the Realignment start screen, you can set the flag u201CActivate Application Logu201D. This will help you to see and analyze the log.

Please check if you can see the copy step.

When you click u201CMaintain Entriesu201D , you will see the screen of u201COverview of Copy Tableu201D.

Therein you should see the steps you have maintained.

Check the Step Status . It should be u201CCope Step is ready to be performedu201D.

The validity date (fourth column) should be either todays date or earlier date.

Copy Validity Date:The validity date from which a copy step is taken into account during a copy run. Only copy steps whose validity date is before the date of the copy run job are taken into account.

Hi Datta,

i followed your procedure and executed the COPY function successfully...when i went to the /sapapo/sdp94 and the planning book i donot see the values in the specified time periods...where should i trouble shoot..could u pls help

Hi,

If log is successful ( green ), without warnings or errors , then data should be there .

Please try copy table with full charcteristics ( effectively it means test for one CVC) as above.

Hi Datta,

Thanks, i observed the no of source product CVCs and the Target Product CVCs are different. i.e. for ex.in my case the source product has 65 cvcs and the target has 78 cvcs..could this be the problem..is it a must that to use the COPY function we need to have equal cvcs for source and target products..

when i used the copy function, the copy is successful , i could see the green light in the log..but in the interactive planning the copy didnot take place..

further to the above, i was reading the scm help and the

Prerequisites say,

In contrast to data realignment, all characteristic value combinations must exist before you execute the function.

Hi,

Thatu2019s correct, which implies for every CVC step is required.

We can upload a file for creation of steps.

Hi Datta,

Do you know any specific BADI which could be used only to copy the existing CVCs, i think this would solve my problem, iam using SCM5.0, If you know the BADI could you please tell me.

Best Regards,
