Symptom
You enter a sales order with configuration in the CRM system and send it to the R/3 OLTP system.If
the OLTP system has a Release of >= 4.6B, in the CRM standard system the flag for direct storage of
the configuration is set.That means, in this case the sent configuration is not processed again in
the R/3 system but is stored directly in the respective database tables. In particular, the
configurable material is not replaced with the material variant in this case and the R/3 System does
not evaluate object characteristics whose value was changed by the IPC.
If the function of material variant matching for the orders transferred from the CRM system is
required in the R/3 backend, when you transfer the sales order, the flag for direct storage must not
be set.

Other Terms
IPC, ISA

Reason and Prerequisites

Since in this case, the CRM system is the leading system for order processing, the standard system
does not presume that the sales order should be changed after the transfer into the R/3 system.In
this case the direct storage in the database tables has a much better performance than if the R/3
backend system would process the configuration again.
The material variant matching in CRM will be possible in a later Release.

Solution
If the functions of material variant matching are needed in the R/3 backend for orders transferred
from the CRM, during the transfer of the sales order the flag for direct storage must not be set.
You can achieve this with the attached modification in the CRM system.
