Reorganization of Postprocessing Records 

Use

Postprocessing records that have been processed or that are set as obsolete are not deleted automatically by the system. To delete them, use program /SAPAPO/CIF_POSTPROC_REORG.

Only postprocessing records with the status Processed, Obsolete (set manually), or Obsolete (set automatically by system) can be deleted. If you want to delete postprocessing records with the status Still to be processed, you can use this program to set them as obsolete and then you can delete them in a subsequent program run.

The actions “set as obsolete” and “delete” only refer to the postprocessing records, not to the objects for which the postprocessing records were created.

Prerequisites

CIF error handling must be active.

Features

This program offers you the following functions:

·        Set postprocessing records as obsolete

If you set the Set PP Recs as Obsolete indicator, all postprocessing records that meet the selection criteria, have the processing status Still to be processed, and that are older than the specified number of days are assigned the status Obsolete (set manually).

·        Delete postprocessing records.

You can choose between two alternatives.

¡        If you set the indicators Delete PP Recs and Delete All PP Recs Older Than, the system deletes all postprocessing records that meet the selection criteria and for which the status was set to Processed, Obsolete (set automatically by system), or Obsolete (set manually) in the time frame specified. The standard setting is 7 days.

¡        If you set the Delete PP Recs indicator and choose Delete All PP Recs, the system deletes all postprocessing records that meet the selection criteria and that have the status Processed, Obsolete (set automatically by system), or Obsolete (set manually).

Activities

       1.      Call program /SAPAPO/CIF_POSTPROC_REORG in the SAP APO menu by choosing APO Administration → Integration → CIF Error Handling → Reorganize CIF Postprocessing Records, or by calling transaction /SAPAPO/CPPA.

       2.      Enter the SAP R/3 target system for which CIF error handling is active.

       3.      You can restrict the postprocessing records that are to be set as obsolete or deleted by selection criteria and status.

       4.      Specify whether postprocessing records are to be set as obsolete and/or deleted. Postprocessing records that you set to obsolete during one program run cannot be deleted in the same program run.

       5.      Execute the program.

       6.      If you have set postprocessing records to obsolete during the program run, you can delete them during a new program run at a later point in time.

You can start program /SAPAPO/CIF_POSTPROC_REORG both in dialog and background mode. We recommend you schedule this program as a regular background job (daily, for example).
