SAP SCM Upgrade to 5.0, Material Master Initial Transfer Issue

[Former Member]

Dear Folks,

We are doing an upgrade to SCM 5.0 for a client and are facing the issue of material master initial transfer. The changes to exising material like Proc type etc. travel seamlessly but while we try to create a new material in R/3 and transfer it to APO or if we delete an existing product in APO and re-transfer the material from R/3, it simply doesn't happen. We donot get any kind of errors also. We have tried various suggestions and solutions but all have failed. To summarize the activites that we have done to check the issue, please see the track below.

Action Observation

1. Observed queue blocks on R/3 and APO sides: No blocks.

2. “Important” logs on R/3 as well as APO side: No error logs on CIF observed.

3. Check material master data fields in R/3 relevant and necessary for APO: Done

4. Check the APOKZ flag in MARC Table: Done

5. Check OSS relevant notes for the issue: Done

6. Check CIFMAT and MATLOC tables in APO: Done

7. Check the TRFCQIN and TRFCQOUT tables in APO Done; nothing relevant to CIF observed.

8. Debug CIF and find the issue No breakthrough.

9. Check location and location pre-requisites for CIF Done

Now we have raised OSS notes to SAP and are awaiting a solution.

I request all Gurus to pitch-in and suggest possible issue here and perhaps a solution too. I am very hopeful that some one might have faced similar issue and have found a solution to the same.

Warm Regards,

Chandra

This required packaging materials to be CIFed first before transferring the other materials. Issue resolved, SAP issues a note on this.
