Hi All,
Can someone explain me 1) what are change pointers and what they do in APO. 2) why should we process the change pointers during CCR , why not push to R/3 directly instead of process change pointers , basically we do this when we have a message " Not in APO (Preq's)" and "missing in r/3 without external key. 3) what is the difference between these inconsistency msg's " missing in r/3 without external key and with external key in CCR
Hii Uday,
Go through the following document in SCN, You'll get a clear idea on this...Still you need any help let me know...

Hii Uday,
1)what are change pointers
Ans : . Normally Change pointer created when we do create/change in transaction data in APO. then we need to process those change pointers to ECC.
2) why should we process the change pointers during CCR , why not push to R/3 directly instead of process change pointers. If we push what would be the result.
ANS: No need to run CCR every time. You can schedule some EOD jobs for processing change pointers (/sapapo/c5.).
CCR need to run when there is inconstancy occurs .
There are global setting (configuration), where you can put how to process change pointer(which application/Order type). Depends on it change pointers created, Otherwise it'll not create an pointers, it'll directly move to APO.
Go through the SAP Help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/3d/d977377fae0261e10000009b38f842/content.htm
APO application is based SCM number range , when it moves to ECC it picks the ECC number range which is the valid one.
Sometimes some client don't want to move orders to ECC directly , They want to review the planning , then they make certain changes if required or if the planning is not as expected, they will simply delete the change pointers. And cancel the planning.
It depend on customer to customer how they want to do their process..

Hi Uday,
Change Pointers are used to reflect any changes done in either ECC/APO
In one of my recent projects we were using the same.
Firstly we ran /n/sapapo/c5 Transaction so that any changes happened can be reflected .
Secondly then we run CCR for the th Inconsistencies between ECC & APO System.
