Change Pointers in GTS

[dean_hinson2]

Hello,

Implemented change pointers to capture when a product from ERP is transferred to GTS. The logical system group has a number of ERP systems. The idea is if the material change date in /SAPSLL/PR changes, a change pointer is created so that classifications that are already present are sent to the ERP system.

However, no change pointers are being generated for table /SAPSLL/PR. The fields I have configured are KEY, CHTSP, and CRTSP.

I used Message Type /SAPSLL/BRKR_PROD_RPLCTN_REQ as a guideline and have activated to review and monitor.

So, I am not sure why change pointers are not being generated for what I configured.

Any Ideas?

Regards, Dean.

Hi Dean,

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I think the answer is that the Change Pointers are generated by the Product Maintenance transaction rather than by the interface module (although I haven't verified that in the code).

I've encountered many such instances, for example when a change in the ERP Delivery updates the Sales Order, the Delivery creates CP's, but the Order does not.

I'll wait for any other comments before I go diving in to the code!

Regards,
Dave

Hello Dave,

If that were true, then the Message Type /SAPSLL/BRKR_PROD_RPLCTN_REQ would not work 100%. Most Product Master changes, like net weight, gross weight, descriptions, etc. are done through the master data replication. I get where you are coming from. As I said, I have had the Message Type /SAPSLL/BRKR_PROD_RPLCTN_REQ activated for quite sometime and I see change pointers for the Product Master net weight, gross weight and UOM, which is not done in GTS, but the ERP system and then replicated.

Regards, Dean.
