• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF062 - &1 change pointer(s) of type &2 corresponded to the selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF062 typically relates to the Core Interface (CIF) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error indicates that there are change pointers that correspond to the selection criteria specified in the CIF integration process, but no data was found for the specified criteria.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Change Pointers: The error suggests that there are no change pointers available for the specified selection criteria. This could happen if:
  
  The data has not been changed since the last CIF run.
  The change pointers have been deleted or are not generated for the relevant objects.
  The selection criteria used in the CIF run do not match any existing change pointers.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria specified in the CIF configuration may not match the existing data or change pointers.
  
  
  Data Synchronization Issues: There may be issues with data synchronization between the SAP ERP and SAP APO systems, leading to a lack of change pointers.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Change Pointers: Verify if change pointers exist for the relevant objects in the source system (SAP ERP). You can do this by checking the change pointer tables (e.g., BDCP for change pointers).
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Ensure that the selection criteria used in the CIF configuration are correct and relevant to the data you are trying to synchronize. Adjust the criteria if necessary.
  
  
  Generate Change Pointers: If no change pointers exist, you may need to trigger the generation of change pointers. This can be done by making changes to the relevant master data or transactional data in the source system.
  
  
  Check CIF Configuration: Review the CIF configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly for the objects you are trying to transfer. This includes checking the integration model and ensuring that the relevant objects are included.
  
  
  Monitor CIF Logs: Check the CIF logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue. This can help identify if there are other underlying problems.
  
  
  Run CIF Process Again: After making the necessary adjustments, run the CIF process again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like CIF (CIF Monitor) and CFC1 (CIF Configuration) to monitor and configure CIF settings.
  Change Pointer Management: Familiarize yourself with how change pointers are managed in SAP, including the relevant tables and settings.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to CIF and change pointers.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or APO consultant for further investigation.
