Introduction • The SAP APO Core Interface (CIF) is part of the SAP R/3 Plug-In. It allows the exchange of data between SAP APO and SAP R/3 • Only the data objects needed in SAP APO 's must be transferred from SAP R/3's data set • Once the CIF is set up, the data elements can be sent from SAP R/3 to SAP APO either periodically by batch, or in real time. Data can also be sent periodically or on demand from SAP APO to SAP R/3 • Whereas the interface is a standard integration between these two SAP solutions, there are often errors which can block this interface You will find in this document insights on how to use the main transactions to analyze and solve these errors and many examples of errors and way to solve them
Queue manager • Transaction Code: /SAPAPO/CQ - SCM Queue Manager • Menu Path:SAP Menu Tools APO Administration Integration Monitor /SAPAPO/CQ- SCM Queue Manager • This transaction in SAP APO enables you to check the local system as well as all connected systems. The output queues are sorted per publishing type (for example, in-house production, planned independent requirement, planning file entry, and so on). • With the SCM Queue Manager you can check outbound queues in your own or in a connected system and analyze and correct errors if necessary. The advantage compared to the qRFC Monitor is that the SCM Manager is more user friendly (see RFC Inbound&outbound queues chapter for more detail)
Queue manager • Input all inbound and outboundsystems in 1), and then click 2) 2 1
