Advance Planning Optimizer fields reverting to blank CIF

Hi,

After an overnight CIF, certain fields are reverting back to blank. I’ve tried troubleshooting through ECC linkage but to no avail. Any ideas why these fields get removed after overnight CIF?

Hi Ronan,

if you do not protect such fields in APO from getting filled/updated from the CIF connected ERP system they will be overwritten with either a delta change at the material in ERP or with an initial CIF transfer (in case you use something like this). This is SAP standard as it comes - ERP material master is the lead unless you use implement an ERP outbound or APO inbound BADI to avoid overwriting material master fields you maintain in APO directly.

yes, that’s what I’m thinking, being put down to a change in the system which is why it seems to be a new issue

thank you Thomas

Hi Ronan,

which specific field(s) are you refering to ? Is it a field in a master data object (material master) or a specific transactional document (Purchase Order, Sales Order etc.) being CIFed into APO ?

Hi Thomas,

It is specifically the safety day supply and safety stock method that disappear post CIF. This isn’t filled out anywhere else in SAP and haven’t come across an issue like this before so unsure if it is pulling blanks from ECC and updating APO fields to blank

Thanks
