publish the planning data from APO to ECC & vice versa. Following things are covered:

1. CIF configuration: Technical integration setup between ECC and APO.

2. Integration model setup: Integration of Master data and Transaction data
3. Setting background jobs for master data transfer and transaction data transfer:

2. CIF Configuration: Creation of initial system setting for Data

 CIF Implementation (SAPAPO)

In this you can do the ALE setup for Object dependencies. Pre-requisite for ALE setup is that Logical
Systems and RFC set up should be completed in Both ECC and APO system.

Steps for ALE setup:

1. Go to WE21 to create a port in ECC that enables IDOC communication with APO box

2. Go to WE21 to create a port in APO that enables IDOC communication with ECC box
 CIF Implementation (SAPAPO)

Define the partner profiles for enabling transfer of all object dependencies related data

3. In ECC-Go to WE20 transaction and define below partner profile in Partner Type LS

3. CIF Integration Model Setup:

3.1 Sequence to Transfer the master data:
1. Plant
2. Vendor and Customer
3. Characteristics and Classes
4. Material Master
5. Work Centre
6. BOM
7. Production Version
8. Purchase Info record

3.2 Creation of IM model

In this step you create CIF Integration Models (IM) in SAP ECC system to integrate master and
transaction data between SAP ECC and APO systems. APO relevant master data are transferred from
ECC to APO system except some master data which are maintained directly in APO. Transaction data
get transferred from either system to the other using core interface (CIF) in real time.

Steps for creation of IM model:

1. Access the transaction using the one of the following option

Transaction code CFM1

SAP SCM menu Logistics  Central Functions  Supply Chain Planning Interface 
Core Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer  Integration Model 
Create

2. On “create integration model” specify model name, Logical system and APO application, Select
the object type, and fill the object details and choose save
 CIF Implementation (SAPAPO)

3. On the ‘Variant Attributes’ screen, enter ‘Variant Name’, ‘Description’ data.

4. Choose ‘Save’ and go back.

5. On the ‘Create Integration Model’ screen, choose ‘Execute’.
 CIF Implementation (SAPAPO)

6. On the next screen, choose ‘Generate IM’.

3.3 Activation of Integration Model

In this you can activate an integration model. Activating an integration model results in transfer of
selected relevant master data from ECC to APO system and of selected transaction data from either ECC
or APO system to the other.

Steps for activation of IM model:

1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:

 CIF Implementation (SAPAPO)

Transaction code CFM2

SAP SCM menu Logistics  Central Functions  Supply Chain Planning Interface 
Core Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer  Integration Model 
Activate

2. On the ‘Activate or Deactivate Integration Model’ screen, enter data in the fields ‘Model’, ‘Logical
System’, ‘APO Application’ and choose ‘Activate’.

3. On the next screen, double click on the integration model name; after which data in the right hand
side of screen appears. Click once on the ‘New Status’ field (which makes it turn into okay/green) and
then choose ‘Start’.
 CIF Implementation (SAPAPO)

4. A message box appears with information ‘Activation or deactivation of the selected models is
complete’ and the previous and new status fields both turn green.

Using this process all APO relevant necessary integration models should be activated.

5. List of all CIF Integration Models currently in the system: (need attachment)

4. Background job setup (for master data and transaction data):

In this you can create the jobs to transfer the master data and transaction data to APO as per user
requirement (like daily, weekly etc.)

Steps for creation of job for “generation of IM models”

 CIF Implementation (SAPAPO)

1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options

Transaction code SM36

SAP SCM menu Logistics  Plant Maintenances  Order  Inspection Processing 
Enviroment  Quality Management  Key Figure  Tools  Planning
 Standard SOP  Envoroment Define External Planning Model
Auto-ID Backend Integration

2. Put Job name (For Generation of IM model)

3. Click on Step Button

 CIF Implementation (SAPAPO)

4. Enter Program name RIMODGEN
