R/3 integration with APO

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

Actually my Question is more on how to create and check basic core interface with apo from R/3

i am not APO consultant , just can any one give me some basic quide lines

Actually apo is supported from US but we are here in asia

handling R/3, The initial answer came from Core team they had initiated CIF

but i when we create few master data , i dont see any transfer in apo

is there any batch job to activate in r/3 or apo , if any please can any one advise me

Transaction - SMQ1 - QRFC monitor - what for it is used

what is the difference between r/3 and apo with respect to SMQ1 transaction

curto_create - transaction- what far it is used - transfer of production data to apo

how to use it

cfm1 - creation of integration model - ?

if any one feel this question is silly , i am sorry i am not APO consultant

Thanks in advance

Hi Rajkumar,

You can start with the content in <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/CIF">CIF Wiki</a> to get an overview of CIF and its required settings. The basic process is as below (assuming initial CIF settings are done by Technical team):

1. Create and generate Integration Models (CFM1 in R/3)

2. Activate Integration Model (CFM2 in R/3)

3. Check for CIF queues inbound or outbound of APO and R/3 systems (SMQ2 and SMQ1 respectively both in APO and R/3). These transactions allow you to analyse the CIF queues, see error details and activate them after correction.

4. Delta report execution to reconcile transaction data between APO and R/3. Note this is for Transaction data only and NOT for master data (/SAPAPO/CCR in APO)

5. Send Master Data (except PPM/PDS) Change transfer from R/3 to APO (CFP1)

6. Send PPM / PDS change transfer from R/3 to APO (CFP3 for PPM and CURTO_CREATE for PDS)

Typically there are nightly background jobs to carry out steps 1, 2, 5 and 6. 3 is a daily task and 4 is trypically a weekly task.

CUTRO_CREATE transaction will allow you to transfer PDS from ECC to APO. But you need to have an active intergation model (use txn CFM1 followed by CFM2).

Hope this helps.
