• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IPPECIF123 - Row of the object dependency exists only in the SAP APO system ?

  The SAP error message IPPECIF123 indicates that there is an issue with object dependencies in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch or inconsistency between the data in the SAP ERP system and the data in the SAP APO system, particularly concerning object dependencies that are expected to be synchronized.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An object dependency (like a characteristic or a variant) exists in the APO system but not in the corresponding SAP ERP system.
  The system is trying to access or process a dependency that is not available in the expected location, leading to a failure in the planning or execution process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IPPECIF123 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Object Dependencies:
  
  Verify the object dependencies in both the SAP ERP and SAP APO systems. Ensure that they are consistent and that all necessary dependencies exist in both systems.
  
  
  
  Data Synchronization:
  
  Ensure that the data synchronization between SAP ERP and SAP APO is functioning correctly. You may need to run the relevant data transfer jobs to synchronize the object dependencies.
  
  
  
  Re-Transfer Data:
  
  If discrepancies are found, you may need to re-transfer the relevant data from SAP ERP to SAP APO. This can be done using the CIF (Core Interface) integration model.
  
  
  
  Check CIF Settings:
  
  Review the CIF settings to ensure that the object dependencies are included in the integration model. Make sure that the relevant objects are marked for transfer.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to CIF and object dependencies for any specific instructions or known issues.
  
  
  
  SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. They may provide patches or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  CIF (Core Interface): This is the interface used for data transfer between SAP ERP and SAP APO. Understanding how CIF works and how to manage it is crucial for resolving integration issues.
  Object Dependencies: These are used in SAP to define relationships between different objects, such as materials and their characteristics. Familiarity with how these dependencies are structured and managed in both systems is important.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/OM17 (for checking object dependencies) and /SAPAPO/CIF (for CIF settings).
  
  By following these steps and understanding the underlying concepts, you should be able to address the IPPECIF123 error effectively.
