Dear Venkat,
As a standard practice the Master Data flows from ECC to APO but not vise versa.
Where as the transactional data (say stocks, orders .etc) flow in both directions.
Q1: Can we send the product master from APO to ECC? (We got to know its not advisable, but still...) If YES, how can we do it
No we can not send the product master data to ECC for creating a material master using standard procedures.
In order to transfer the data from ECC to APO or APO to ECC, we need CIF in place.
There are two major functionalities of CIF they are
1. Transfer of Data
2. Mapping of Data.
this two functionalities can not help the reverse flow of data from ECC to APO for Master data.
So, We can not create a Material Master using Product Master.
Best Regards
