Class Type 022 CIF from ECC to APO

[Former Member]

We use Class Type 022 to manage our Batches in our production facility. I have read many questions and answers on this subject. All of SAP documentation says that we MUST use Class Type 023 to CIF data into PPDS and gain the benefit of batch managed inventory there. As stated, our system is set to use 022 and changing to 023 could cause other issues with custom programming we have in place. I am wondering if anyone has had success getting Class Type 022 to CIF ALL the details into PPDS for planning purposes.

We have created our organizational structure and it is attached to 022. We have created the necessary classifications based on Note 751392. I have CIF the Class/Material/Batch/Stocks into PPDS and all data is showing there. What I don't have is the Batch dates that are tied to the batches in our ECC system. I am hopeful someone has a solution to this so that I don't have to convert my batches from Class 022 to Class 023.

Dear Greg,

Class 022 is not supported and will be filtered out in CIF during the transfer. See here SAP note 1424281 - FAQ: Classification for ECC and APO and 1306779 - FAQ: Characteristics, classes and configuration in APO

....

2.2. Note that, as of APO Release 4.0, the integration of the class type 022 is no longer supported. In the following note you can find additional information about this topic.

To correct the problem, you must change the batch level from "Plant" to "Material" as described in Note 533377 (Conversion of batch level) so that the class type 023 can be used.
