Hi

LUW stands for Logical Unit of work.

Its a way of binding data together(multiple CIF queues under a single entity)

It is useful to maintain the atomicity of data.

For ex :- Say u have 5 materials under a single TLB order and u have sent that order to R3 for recieving number.If any of those materials is having master data which doesn't satisfy the filter criteria for Integration Model then the whole LUW will be blocked.

Signifies the entire data set will be passed on as a single LUW.

For CIF batch Jobs could you please explain what exactly you want to know.

Thanks

LUW is a logical unit of work. When you have 100 CIF changes that need to go in from R/3 to APO , or vice versa they get grouped into LUW's and you can see these in the CIF queues.

Hi Ssuvecha,

I thnik till date no one has explained CIF more simpler than the " CIF DEMYSTIFIED" series on SCN.

Go through these wikis on them:
