APO Inbound Processing

If you use the Business Add-In Influence Order-Specific Inbound Processing (/SAPAPO/CL_EX_CIF_IP), you should note the following prerequisites:

·        Do not change the APO inbound processing method.

You can use this BAdI to control the behavior of the system in APO inbound during initial data transfer and transfer using the compare/reconcile function. As a default setting, the processing method is set to Change. Only then can APO activity dates be retained.

The processing method Change is a prerequisite for the retention of the APO activity dates.

·        Do not deactivate the retention of activity dates in APO inbound processing of orders. Doing so may cause the system to carry out rescheduling, which changes the position of the activities, if a planning-related offset exists.

·        Do not deactivate the proportional quantity adjustment in the BAdI method ORDER_INB_PROCESSING_DECIDE, because doing so may cause the system to carry out a new explosion and planning-related minimum intervals and planning-related offsets (that you have maintained in the APO system) may be lost.

You can use the BAdI method ORDER_INB_PROCESSING_DECIDE, to influence the methods of APO inbound processing, the retention of the activity dates, and the proportional quantity adjustment.

In the BAdI method ORDER_INB_REDET_DATES_DECIDE, you can also influence the retention of activity dates on an order-specific basis.
