Planned order dates retention in APO

[yugesh_95]

Hello Experts,

We have a third party tool for materials requirement planning which sends the planned orders to ECC. From ECC the planned orders are sent to APO through CIF. APO PPDS is just used for detailed scheduling.
Currently, in APO after CIF integration the planned order dates are getting changed automatically. The expectation is to have the dates in sync between ECC and APO after integration(before scheduling job run in APO).

Integration strategy profile in APO already has Scheduling mode as Infinite and Backwards+reverse(Check the screenshots). Can you pls suggest if there are any other settings to keep the dates unchanged in APO after integration?

Thanks.

Hello Yugesh,

As SAP APO is the default scheduling system, any orders coming from R/3 to APO for a material Location marked as 'X0' will be rescheduled by default.
You can override this behaviour by implementing BADI '/SAPAPO/CL_EX_CIF_IP' method 'ORDER_INB_PROCESSING_DECIDE' in your system.

Please see OSS notes 579758 and 586685 for more details.
