How to correctly CIF PPM deletion to APO

[Former Member]

Hello

We have correct active IMs for PPMs

when a production version gets deleted in R3, in APO PP/DS PPMs still remain whereas the corresponding version in R3 is no longer there.

We have a program running to transfer PPDS PPM into SNP PPM (similar to transaction /sapapo/ppm_conv)

When a PPDS PPM is manually deleted, the SNP PPM is not deleted automatically after the program runs, should it be deleted or is it a bug in the program?

How to correctly ensure that PP/DS and SNP PPMs gets deleted to reflect R3 master data?

Thanks for your answers!

Hi,

The deletion of R3 PV won't delete the corresponding PPDS PPM and SNP PPM in APO. If you want to delete the PPM's in APO you need to delete the PPM using /SAPAPO/PPM_DEL.

Instead you can make the R3 PV invalid , this invalid info will flow thru CIF to PPDS PPM and during SNP PPM generation system

will throw error message " No suitable Source of Supply exists" as the PPDS PPM is invalid as on date and the validity info you can both in PPDS and SNP PPM.

In this case also still PPDS and SNP PPM will exists with invalid date populated.

Currently we are using BAPI_PPMSRVAPS_DELMULTI_PPM and BAPI_PPMSRVAPS_DELMULTI_PLAN to delete all the PPM's Plan and PPM itself which are invalid as on date.

If you are doing it manual you can use /SAPAPO/PPM_DEL.

Thanks,
