Hello
I have some basic questions on CIF, please address them
I see the current set up - all master / transaction data changes are transferred via scheduled batch jobs(daily), one for CFM1 and another for CFM3
CFM1 will create integration model and CFM3 will activate the newest version
Master data includes material master , work centre ,BOM, PDS, info record , scheduling agreement
Transaction data inlcudes storage location stock, sales orders etc
My understanding is that this daily jobs (CFM1 / CFM3) will not retransfer everything but only the delta change - please correct me if I'm wrong
Issue 1
- at times we see that some changes made to the material master never comes into APO, like say deletion flag set at MRP area level, planning time fence changed etc
so we do CFM1 /CFM3 for the respetive part , execute the program RIMODINI , after that we will see the changes in APO
- Is this a stnadrd CIF inconsistency experienced by everyone else there is a way we can stop this ?
- Challenge is we never know which product missed the update until some one from business and inform us , is there any workaround to avoid this ?
Issue 2
- Recently we were reported that work centre interval and shift changes are not reflecting in APO(RES01 - display capacity profile) , upon testing we found that changes will only go to APO after executing RIMODINI and not just regular CFM1 and CFM3
- But I'm advised to use CFP1 to transfer work centre changes after setting immediate transfer in CFC9 , my question is why CFM1/CFM3 will not transfer the changes that I make to work centre , but it works with RIMODINI
- under what scenario / circumstances we use transaction CFP1 ( we have not used this transaction before )and how is it different from CFM1/CFM3 ?
Please help me in understanding overall functionality of CIFF
Thanks
