STO Dates mismatch between ECC and APO

[Former Member]

Hello,

Could someone please let me know if there is any way of getting back the dates of an STO from ECC to APO whenever there is change in PDT in ECC.STO is created from APO is picking the transportation duration from APO and gets cif'ed to ECC.We have an enhancement in place to pick the same Planned delivery time upon being interfaced to ECC, so the dates match at that time.

However business expects that if there is any change made to planned delivery time of the STO in ECC then the dates should get reflected accordingly in APO.This is not happening,APO gets the delivery date from ECC but reschedules it according to the transportation duration in APO.This is not caught in CIF as well.

I tried changing the Publication settings to -Always transfer also tried the option of "No Rescheduling of Stock Transport Orders"i.e. i have set the indicator in CIFPUCUST02, ideally this should ensure that APO should adopt the dates from ECC instead of rescheduling it in APO wrt to transportation duration.

Please let me know if there is something i am missing

Hi,

Thanks for the reply..i will check the notes you mentioned on why the setting for CIFPUCUST02 do not work.

For the second point-we do not expect APO to pick the PDT for every STO, it is supposed to pick Transportation lead time(we have an enhancement to pick the PDT in ECC as well as per APO through a custom table maintained in ECC)..But for some STO there may be a possibility that planner will have to change the PDT in ECC once this change is made in ECC STO the dates of STO like delivery date and delivery creation date gets changed instantly in ECC.However these dates do not reflect in APO, only the delivery date gets into APO as an End date but it would consider transportation duration to calculate the start date in APO.Business expects that in these cases dates should be in synch with ECC .

Hello,

Also check SAP note 1769868 - CIF rescheduling is done on basis desired delivery date

Hello,

If you set the indicator CIFPUCUST02 in ECC, SAP APO does not reschedule stock transport orders after they have been transferred. Instead, SAP APO adopts the dates/times of the stock transport orders from the ERP system.

Please refer SAP note 1471730 - STO is rescheduled in APO despite "No rescheduling" delivery In R/3

Also note in MRP purchase requisitions are also created in the planned delivery time. You can use the BAdI /SAPAPO/DM_PO_OP_DA2 to replicate similar system behavior in APO BAdI /SAPAPO/DM_PO_OP_DA2, method MODIFY, and set the changing parameter CV_PLIFZ_NOT_CONSTRAINT = 'X'.
