PPM Transfer 

I am trying to transfer PPM from R/3 to APO. I get a message in RFC monitor "Setup Group/Setup Key does not exist" Msg No-SR053. The PPM does not get transferred. 

I have already trfd the relevant material, plant and resources successfully. 

There are no errors in the consistency check of the integration model as well. 

I have checked the validity of routing, BOM and Prod Version and they are fine for the lot sizes. 

The production version checking for consistency in MM02 Transaction in r/3 for consistency check also has NO ERROR FOUND. Both the bom and Routing are valid for Above prod version . 

STUMPED  can someone enlighten me 
 

You need to create setup group/setup key in APO and it is location specific. I am not sure whether it can be transfered from R/3 to APO. If it does not exists in APO the error will be issued. Better you create setup group/setup key in APO and try the data transfer. This might work.

But if you want to mantain different setup group/key in r/3 and APO. You could not transfer the R/3 setup group via user exit and you could maintain it directly in APO.

Please note the following regarding the transfer of setup group and matrix. Setup groups and setup matrices cannot be transferred to APO via the CIF interface. They can though be transferred with the help of the following reports:
/SAPAPO/SETUP_GROUP_COPY for transferring setup groups & setup keys
/SAPAPO/SETUP_MATRIX_COPY for transferring setup matrices
The pre-requisites for the transfer are that the locations for which the setup matrices, groups and keys were created for exist in APO.

With the reports /SAPAPO/SETUP_GROUP_COPY and /SAPAPO/SETUP_MATRIX_COPY you can only transfer betweem APO systems
 

Since nothing really got copied when i tried the reports.
The Help though says - these reports r meant to move them from R/3 to APO :-(
too bad....this isnt getting sorted out...
