Use

The change transfer for master data with the APO Core Interface (CIF) usually takes place using ALE change pointers. ALE technology is used to write and evaluate change pointers for the objects that are changed.

• Transaction CFP1
• Activate the relevant integration model

The objects that have been changed are completely retransferred to SAP APO.

We recommend that you schedule a change transfer using ALE change pointers as a periodic job. For more information, see Schedule Generation and Activation as a Job. This replaces transaction CFP1.

Example

Requirements

To be able to work with change pointers, the following settings must have been made:

1. The relevant indicator must be set in the Activate Change Pointers Generally IMG activity.
2. The transfer of ALE change pointers must be set in the Configure Change Transfer for Master Data IMG activity.
3. The transfer must be set up for the relevant message type in the Activate ALE Change Pointers for Message Types IMG activity.
