Abstract
The core interface (CIF) is the standard interface between SAP ERP™ and SAP APO™ for the order related applications PP/DS, SNP and ATP. On SAP ERP™ side the ‘plug-in’ has to be implemented to use the CIF, on SAP APO™ side it is always included. The CIF enables the integration of master data from SAP ERP™ to SAP APO™ (one way only) and the integration of transactional data both ways, from SAP ERP™ to SAP APO™ and from SAP APO™ to SAP ERP™. The basic idea of the integration is to write events for each planning relevant change – e.g. the creation of an order – and use these as trigger for the transfer. Technically the transfer is performed via qRFC. Which objects (i.e. planned orders, stock, …) are transferred is controlled by the integration models, which could be regarded as something like the master data of the CIF.
