Definicja filter object (SCM-APO-INT)

Combination of object type and associated properties that is used in the APO Core Interface (CIF) as a basis for filtering the data objects to be transferred to SAP APO. All filter objects are specified in CIF.

When you create an integration model, you select filter objects by entering object types (for example, material masters and sales orders) and other selection criteria (for example, customer number and material/plant combination) and then assign these to a model name, target system and application. When you activate the integration model, the system checks which data objects have the same properties as the filter object. At the initial data transfer, the system selects these data objects and transfers them to SAP APO. For the change transfer, it only transfers the corresponding data objects.
