Component : Master Data -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/619973 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses inconsistencies between APO product master fields and the corresponding R/3 material master fields due to Customizing settings in the lot-sizing procedures. Key areas affected include date determination, lot sizing segmentation, period types, transportation lane creation, and source of production location settings. Issues arise when R/3 Customizing is altered, but associated R/3 master data is not retransferred to APO, leading to data discrepancies. Solutions proposed include retransfer of material masters post-Customizing changes, utilizing new Customizing entries for adjustments, and maintaining specific data exclusively in APO. These actions aim to ensure data consistency between R/3 and APO systems.

Key words :
setting 'availability date = period start', 'availability date = period start' indicator, apo master data remain unchanged, periodic lot sizes determines, material masters potentially affected, abovementioned product master settings, availability date indicator, 'date specification' indicator, field 'lot sizes, lot size indicator
