How to restrict forecast transfer to R/3 ?

[Former Member]

We have setup the Forecast transfer from APO to R/3 with the following settings and the forecast transfer is working fine.

1) Product and Locations CIFe to APO and active IM: , Integration model is based on MRP controllers to restrict the Material to be in APO, 2) Transfer Profile created. (APO), 3) Publication (Maintain Distribution Definition). 4) Create background job to release to R/3.

My query:

We want to restrict the forecast to be sent to R/3 for some of the materials based on particular MRP controllers.

As a solution, we removed the particular MRP controllers from the material master's Integration model and reactivated the IM.

But the Forecast are still getting transferred to R/3 for those materials which are not in Integration model(restricted based on MRP controller). Please suggest if the restriction in IM is correct or there is something else required to be done.

Thanks,

Hi Aashish,

You can use BAdI /SAPAPO/SDP_RELDATA to modify data.

Hi James,

Business use to plan these materials(with specific MRP controllers) and had the forecast that is transferred from APO to R/3. Now going forward business don't want to send the forecast for these materials.

The only option we initially thought was to remove the material from active Integration model. I didn;t get your point- on Did you first delete the fcst in ECC, then sent it from APO? how does it makes a different. pls let me know.

Tiemin, can you elaborate on BAdI /SAPAPO/SDP_RELDATA. What logic can we put in there to restrict.

fyi, we are on APO 3.1 & R/3-4/6c

Thanks,

Hi,

I never checked in APO 3.1, but in 4x onwards I would say removing material from active model should be enough.

What I was asking was wether you had double-checked that the forecast was being transferred to ECC by deleting it first at ECC side, nothing else, just to be sure.

Hi Aashish,

The BAdI should be available in APO3.1. You can implement method CHANGE_RELDATA to read the mapping entries of the internal material number, then find out the relevant MRP controller.

Hi Aashish,

Thanks to Jim, I came to know the Exit  EXIT_SAPLCPIR_001 in ECC inbound processing. It might be better

if the restriction conditions are available only in ECC side.

Hi Asshish,

The most easy way should be getting MRP controller information as one of the characteristic in DP. In the PIR transfer background job, you can simple make use MRP controller characteristic as filter.

Are you sure these materials are not in any active integration model? Did you crosscheck with CFM5 in R3?

Hi James,

checked CFM5, and material is not there in any active integration model.

Hi,

in my experience, the difficult thing is having them sent to ECC, not preventing them from being sent (to my knowledge, the only thing that prevents the transmission is not being in an active CIF model). Did you first delete the fcst in ECC, then sent it from APO?

Obviously you could prevent it by restricting your selection in DP (may be by having the MRP controller as a characteristic), but I don't claim this would be the proper way to solve the problem.

Sorry for not being of much help here...
