Most common error messages that we face when analyzing CIF execution. For
every error message we have a few recommended actions and possible root
causes.

1. Order version ____ not valid at date __.

Root causes:
 PPM/PDS or production version is no longer valid at order date of execution.
 No available PPM/PDS orPV at order’s date of execution.
 PPM or PDS has not been ciffed correctly to APO.

Solution:

 Check production version status is not locked.

 Update new validity dates for production version.

 Cif changes to APO in order to update the PPMs or PPDs.

 Re-explode the orders where necessary.

2. Product ____ doesn’t exist in an active integration model.

Root causes:
 Material intergation model is not active.
 Product has cross-plant status as blocked.
 Material has MRP type different than X_*.

Solution:

 Check and correct the cross-plant status of the product..

 Check and correct the MRP type of the product (X_).

 Activate the integration model and Cif the changes.

3. 151 - Order ____ not in an active integration model.

Root causes:
 Integration model for this order not active.
 Order not included in integration model (product location not in selection).

Solution:
  Check the variant so that the product is included.

 Activate the integration model and Cif the changes.

4. 152 – Order ____ missing in APO.

Root causes:
 Order has been deleted in APO but not in R/3 due to a CIF failure.
 Order has been incorrectly created only in R/3.
 Order is included in an incorrect active integration model.
 Integration model is no longer active.

Solution:

 Check first if order should have been created in APO.

 If yes: check that the intergation model is active and the correct product
location assigned to it. Then reexecute the failed CIF queue (entry).

 If no: exclude the product location from the wrong active integration model.

5.182/183 – Order ____ missing in R/3.

Root causes:
 Order has been manually deleted in R/3.
 Order was deleted in APO but CIF queue was locked during transfer to R/3.
 Integration model is no longer active.
 Order is a TLB deployment – in this case it is not an error.

Solution:

 Check that the IM is active and the correct product location assigned to it.

 Reexecute the failed CIF queue.

6. Version (batch) XXXXX does not exist.

The cause for this issue is that the stock is being processed before the batches
are updated in APO.

In order to guarantee the correct sequencing, two solutions are possible:

 To separate the stocks and batches in different integration models,
respecting the Batch -> Stock sequence in the activation.

 When they are together in one integration model, DO NOT set the flag
“Parallelize in APO” as active. The activation leads to simultaneous
processing which may cause this issue.
