CIF Change Pointers and Transactions

Path:

Advanced Planning and Optimization –>


APO Administration –> Integration –> CIF Compare Reconcile Function
–> Execute Compare Reconcile

1. Enter T.Code RIMODGEN

With master data changes, the system can transfer just the master data records. For a
transfer of data changes, you must set in customizing in the SAP ECC system that ALE
change pointers are written for master data changes. First you activate change pointers
(BD61)

2. In order to initiate real time transfer of master data change, use the T.Code CFC9

Integration Model Organization

There should be an organized manner that will make master data integration efficient and
concise. SAP recommends organizing the integration models according to the following
list:

1. ATP Customizing and product allocation customizing


2. Plants
3. Characteristics and classes
4. Material masters and characteristics and classifications
5. MRP area
6. Planning product
7. Availability check
8. Product allocation
9. Customers and suppliers
10. Work centers
11. Production Process Models
12. Scheduling agreement and contract and purchasing info records

Important Features of the CIF

 In the CIF you can specify in the integration model that the ATP check in the
sales order is to be performed in APO rather than ECC.
 (PP/DS) The lot size always indicator is set in the APO product master and if you
do not set the indicator, a lot for lot order quantity is always used in make to order
planning and the system ignores additional constraints. This indicator is
transferred via the CIF.
 When data is brought over to SCM via the CIF it is automatically assigned to the
active model (000).
 Inactive models, including any model that we generate, is only used for strategic
planning. Planning that has results CIFed back to ECC is only in the active
version, hence the name. Also changes to the inactive models can not be copied to
the active model, only changes to the active model can be copied to the inactive.
 Even small changes to master data are copied over to the receiving system in an
incremental fashion. However, this must be configured properly for SAP to do
this. Change pointers must be activated in ECC with transaction (BD61).

We can carry out the real time changes for the following master data elements with the
transaction (CFC9)

There is a program that will setup auto data movement for when Material Master,
Customer Master or the Vendor Master are created or changed.

In the entry screen you should insert (RIMODGEN) for creating integration models, the
variant, counter,

Changes to the PPM or production process model can be setup with transaction (CFP3).
