Hi Seenu,

You can use ALE/IDOC or BAPIs to transfer data from APO to R/3. You cal also use a middleware like XI.

Hi Seenu,

If both the servers have the same application layer then you will have to write 2 programs one in Server A (Source) and other in Server B (Target).

Write program in source server to move the data to application server using OPEN DATASET <filename> FOR OUTPUTand CLOSE DATASET.

Similarly write a program in target server to retreive data from application layer using OPEN DATASET <filename> FOR INPUT.

In case the application server is different then you will have to use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the data to presentation server and then use GUI_UPLOAD to upload the data to target server.

If you want to transfer transactional data like SALES ORDER or PURCHASE ORDERS then you will have to use BAPI's to do the same.

Hope it helps.

Hi Seenu

Please also explore the possibilibility of using the CIF ... (Core Interface) for APO<->R/3

Hello Arun,

Thanks for ur reply. But there is a problem in using CIF. Since setup groups are master data, they are unidirectional i.e R/3 to APO but not vice versa.

Any other thoughts. Is there any BAPI???
