Transferring Product Master Data Changes From APO to ECC/R/3

[Former Member]

Is it possible to transfer product master data changes in APO to ECC via the CIF? If so, does it require custom coding?

Hi James,

In all the different clients where APO is being used with ECC systems. ECC system is always the main system (system of record) which contains all the master data and data present in ECC supposed to be the reference for APO system for planning purpose.

Generally it is not recommended to transfer master data from APO to ECC but as mentioned earlier by some experts you may have ways to do that.

I would be interested in the business scenario where one needs to transfer master data from APO to ECC.

Thanks,

Anupam

Dear James!

Master Data changes in Material/Products in APO are not transferred back to ECC. The ECC is the leading system for Material Master Data.

Why would you want that behaviour?

This is not possible through the CIF. In theory, you could build a custom RFC/ BAPI interface to do this. But it would be technically challenging and probably not worth it.

What kinds of fileds do you want to transfer to ECC from APO ?
