PPDS location created as suffix_01 & same location maintained as Business partner in TM

[Debasis_Nanda]

Hello Gurus,

We are currently having a scenario where in the embedded TM system is already implemented and live in production environment. As a part of global implementation, we are now implementing the PPDS in S4. While integrating the production plants we encountered with below scenario, and we need your valuable inputs on how to proceed ahead.

Scenario:

1. Plant which we want to use in PPDS is already created as business partner in embedded TM environment in S4.
2. The solution for TM is live in Production
3. We integrated the 1000 with location type 1001 into PPDS.
4. It comes as 1000_01, this is observed via standard integration result in PPDS as 1000 (BP location type = 1021) is already used by TM as one time location

To address below points :

1. Have we encountered this scenario before ?
2. Does this work as standard behaviour for MD and TD on PPDS side ?
3. Any challenges/implications/limitations we are aware of if we have done this in past?

Thanks

Hello,

If I understand correctly you used /SAPAPO/CREATE_LOCATIONS and not CIF when creating locations.

There is a SAP note if the location _01 suffix seems to be unnecessary.

Hi Geri,

Appreciate your response.
The note suggests deleting the existing Location as business partner and re transferring the same location as production plant which is not possible in our case. We want to know if the location is sent to PPDS as suffix, will it cause any integration issues ?

Thanks
