• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF213 - Order &1: Difference in schedule line number (APO: &2 <-> R/3: &3) ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CIF213 indicates a discrepancy between the schedule line numbers of an order in SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) and the corresponding order in the SAP R/3 system. This error typically arises during the CIF (Core Interface) transfer process, which is responsible for data synchronization between SAP APO and SAP R/3.
  Cause:
  The error message /SAPAPO/CIF213 is triggered when there is a mismatch in the number of schedule lines between the APO and R/3 systems for a specific order. This can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  Data Inconsistency: Changes made to the order in one system (either APO or R/3) that have not been properly synchronized to the other system.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the CIF setup that may lead to improper data transfer.
  Manual Changes: Manual adjustments made to schedule lines in one system that are not reflected in the other.
  Order Modifications: Changes to the order (like adding or deleting schedule lines) that were not replicated correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Order Details: Review the order in both APO and R/3 to identify the differences in schedule lines. You can use transaction codes like CIF in R/3 and SCC4 in APO to check the order details.
  
  
  Reconcile Schedule Lines: Ensure that the schedule lines in both systems match. If there are discrepancies, you may need to manually adjust the schedule lines in one of the systems to ensure consistency.
  
  
  Re-run CIF Transfer: If you have made changes to the order in R/3, you can re-run the CIF transfer to synchronize the data. Use transaction CIF in R/3 to monitor the transfer process.
  
  
  Check CIF Configuration: Verify the CIF configuration settings to ensure that they are correctly set up for the transfer of order data. This includes checking the integration model and ensuring that the relevant objects are included.
  
  
  Error Logs: Check the CIF error logs for additional details on the error. You can use transaction CIF to view the logs and identify any other related issues.
