Use
In this step, you activate the integration models that you have already generated. When you carry out this activation, the system selects the data objects that match the filter objects contained in the integration model and transfers them to SAP APO. When you activate the integration models, you trigger the initial data transfer of master and transaction data to SAP APO and make the online transfer of transaction data possible.

Activities
- Choose Logistics -> Central Functions -> Supply Chain Planning Interface -> Core Interface Advanced Planning and Optimizer -> Integration Model -> Activate. You can also call this screen using transaction CFM2.
- Select the integration model to be activated using the input fields Model, Logical System, and APO Application.
If you only enter the name of the integration model, all integration models with the same name are returned in the results list (that is, all versions of this model are displayed). Only one version may be active at one time.
- Make the following settings, as required:
- Log Deactivated Material Masters
- Do Not Issue Warning in the Case of Parallel CIF Load
- You can use the Parallelized Transfer input fields to influence the performance of the transfer. Make the relevant settings by using the input help (F4). Note that you need to define a number range for parallelized transfer. For more information about this, see Defining number ranges for parallelization.
- Create Planned Orders as SNP Planned Orders
- Create Business Partners
- Choose Execute to get to the results screen.
You can use Detail to show columns with information about the individual filter objects.
You can use the Hide Empty Columns icon to restrict the columns to those that contain entries.
- Set the required integration model to active by using Active/Inactive or by clicking New Status. You can set active integration models to inactive in the same way.
- Start the actual activation, in other words, data transfer, by using Start. The system displays the status of each integration model before the activation or deactivation in the Prev. Status column.
- The system transfers the selected data to SAP APO.
Further notes
Check material master data for APO indicators
In general, all material master data that is transferred to SAP APO when an integration model is activated contains the indicator for SAP APO relevance. However, it may occur that material master data that you have included in an integration model is locked during activation (for example, because it is currently being processed in the ERP system). This data no longer has an APO indicator after the activation. If the activation was made in dialog mode, you receive a message informing you of the material/plant combination affected. If the activation was made in the background, you can find a corresponding entry in the application log. To ensure that these materials also receive the indicator for SAP APO relevance, you need to run the program RAPOKZFX for the affected material/plant combinations. For more information, see Define variants for checking the APO indicator.
Runtime version of the active integration models
To improve the performance during online transfer, you can generate a runtime version from all active integration models for an object type and target system. For more information, see Define variant for generating the runtime version.
Deactivate and delete integration models
Note that the deactivation of integration models does not mean that the corresponding objects in SAP APO are deactivated or deleted. The exception to this is deactivated material masters (see above).
You should delete inactive integration models or versions of an integration model on a regular bases. For more information, see Schedule generation and activation as a job.
