Set Plant as DC in ECC

[Former Member]

we have 10 Plant in the ECC , 1 of them is Production Plant and the others are Distribution Centers, when i transfer a Material assign to Plant 1000 (Production Plant ), and to 1100 ( DC Plant ), to APO , it was transfered assigned to two locations 1000 , 1100 of type 1001 and not 1001 & 1002, then how to force from the ECC to set the other Plants as DCs.

Hi Omar,

Please follow below path to set your plant as distribution center in ECC system before ciffing to APO.

After you set your plant as DC here, and ciffed to APO, your plant will appear as distribution center in apo.

Hope this helps, please close the thread if it does.

Hi Saurabh

I already did this setting on ECC before transfering the Material to APO , another note , i am activating the BaPI to add prefix DC,PL and so on to the location in APO, but i dont think this is the reason, how i can force that or thier is another setting in ECC to set Plant as DC,

Hi Omar,

Expert Sourabh provided the answer for configuring a plant as a DC.  There is no other transaction.  If you initially transferred the location as a plant, you have to delete the location in APO before transferring the DC version of the plant.  FYI, there is no functional difference in APO between a plant (1001) and a DC (1002).  The difference is in which icon will be displayed in the Supply Chain Engineer.

Hi Omar,

Mike has suggested the way here, delete the location in APO first then resend the location to APO.

For deleting location in APO you need to delete all the transaction data in APO first.

Please try this, should resolve your issue.

If your issue is not resolve with this, then check your BAPI.

Dear,

You can change location type through program /SAPAPO/CHANGE_LOCTYPE. Or you can delete the location and recif the same.

Hi Brahmankar,

If I changed the location type trough program /SAPAPO/CHANGE_LOCTYPE. Is there any impact on transactional data transfer from APO <-> ECC?

Thank you,
