Same SO number from 2 ecc systems to APO system

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are working in scenario where 2 ECC systems are connected to 1 APO system. Both the ECC systems are defined as separate business system group in APO.

My query is:

For the transaction data such as Sales orders, planned orders, production order etc.. will there be any problem if try to bring same SO number(or any other transaction object) from 2 ECC systems to the APO system? Will it create any conflict?

Example:

ECC 1          SO    1234     Material x

ECC 2          SO     1234     Material y

The same query is applicable for all other transaction data.

Mohit,

For the ease of planning and understanding for users and the system it is better to have a user exit which will add a prefix on every order coming in to apo.

For eg:

ECC 1          SO    1234     Material x

ECC 2          SO     1234     Material y

when orders are coming from ECC 2, the user exit can add a prefix 2-1234, by this way there will be a clarity.

Thanks

Mohit,

As APO maintains GUID rather than just order number, theoretically it's possible to use same order number but different sources. However, the possible conflict, I can think of using /SAPAPO/RLCDEL t.code by order number. This t.code is very useful to delete the transactional data but does not provide another filter to recognize the source system.

Hi Rajesh,

In the additional Selection options options of this report there is fields 'location' . Probably we can use this field to restrict the data that need to be deleted.

Your comments on this?

Mohit,

Deleting the transactional data by order number option does not allow you to specify any other filter. The order number itself is a very detailed level information. Pl check the t.code execution.

Thanks,
