APO SNP optimzer & PPDS optimizer

Dear Experts,
When i am doing my capacity leving using optimzer method in SNP
system propose optmizer server is not installed in SNP
its seems no optimzer server for SNP and PPDS was not installed , i try to run test connection to optimzer server
it fails
Just wonder as functional consultant what need to tell to the basis team
can any one guide me on this technical stuff
Thanks & Regards
Raj

Hi Raj Kumar,
1) Once you show them the error, they fully understand
what is the action to be done for that error
2) You can also tell them to check the RFC connections
3) Tell them to check the Optimiser installation is proper or not like
4) Ask them to use transactions /sapapo/opt12, opt03 if required
This will suffice.

I am basically from PP background and just started working in APO SNP. after running SNP optimzer,not able to see the operation details in SNP planned order ( SNP planned order has only receipts, requirements ). could you please help me how to get operation details in SNP planned order.
Thanks
Krishna.

Hi,
SNP Planned Order:
1 . SNP Planned Orders wil give details about Order start date and finish date .
2. During SNP Planned Order creation a basic scheduling will happen.
PPDS Planned Order
1. PPDS Planned Orders will give details about when the actual production is start and finish.
2. During PPDS Planned creation the Machine time details defined in the routing routing or recepie will be take into account.
3. Leadtime scheduling will be carried out to calculate the exact production start date and finish date.

SNP/DP/PPDS/GATP/CIF

Hi Experts,
As i am new to APO, i would like to know what is SNP, DP, PPDS, GATP AND CIF and what is the link between all these. I worked in some concepts of PPDS and CIF. But not aware of SNP and DP. And also apart from these submoduls in APO , are there any other modules which comes under APO?

Hi
APO Demand Planning is a set of functionalities around Demand Management, Statistical Forecasting, Promotion and Life-cycle Planning processes. It is an integral part of any organizations Sales & Operations Planning Process.
Demand Planning can primarily be divided in two areas - Data Mart and Demand Management Functionalities. The Data Mart portion of APO DP is basically the SAP BW component with all BW related transactions and objects available.
Supply Network Planning is a set of functionalities around Distribution Requirement Planning, Deployment, Demand and Supply Matching and Optimization.
Along with Demand Planning it is an integral part of any organizations Sales & Operations Planning Process.
APO Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling is a set of functionalities around Inhouse Production Planning, External Procurement Planning, Resource Scheduling and Sequence Optimization.
PPDS is primarily divided in two areas - Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling. This component has the highest amount of integration between APO and the OLTP (R/3 or ERP) system for real-time transaction data transfer back and forth.
CIF is the standard interface between ERP (R/3 or ECC) and APO used to transfer master and transaction data. While Master Data transfer is unidirectional, transaction data is bi-directional.
Global Available-to-Promise is a set of functions around Order Promising and Fulfillment checking across the whole supply chain. Some of the important functions are Rules-based Availability Check, Product and Location Substitution and Capable-to-Promise. Capable-to-Promise function is where production orders get created in the event of shortage during a Sales Order ATP check.
Multi-level ATP is an advanced method of ATP Check for confirming customer request or Sales Order by checking for on-time component availability.
Product Allocation check is possible in APO using Demand Planning functionality to ease the management of Allocation Quantity.

How we define Supplier constraints in SAP APO SNP?

Hi
Customer is trading company and SNP optimizer is configured for sourcing optimization,Following are queries
How we can define Supplier constraints? Supplier constraints meaning Supplier is capable of supplying 5000MT how we model this and Minimum purchase need to happen from certain suppliers of quantity 2000MT,basically Quantity constraints need to be built in SAP APO SNP.
expecting some valuable inputs
Thanks

Hi Poorna,
Please follow below steps to delete Product-Location combinations in APO:
1. In ECC, deactivate Integration model for Transaction data and master data of the Products and locations to be deleted from APO.
2. Check where used list from transaction WUF and delete dependent transaction data and Master data from APO. You may use /sapapo/rlcdelete and /sapapo/sdorder_del.
Also delete dependent Master data objects like CVC, PPM, Transportation lane, PDS etc. from APO
Ensure deletion of transaction data in all existing versions in the 000 Model.
3. Set the deletion flag for Product / Product-Location combination using transaction /sapapo/mat1
4. Once the transaction data & related master data is deleted and deletion flag is set, it is possible to delete the location-products by running the report /sapapo/delete_products
To delete Locations from APO:
Follow same steps as above. In cases of deletion of Locations, all products in that location should be deleted using the Product-Location deletion flag optionJust change the report in step 4. For locations, use report /sapapo/delete_locations
To answer your other question on change in location type, I think it is not possible to change once you CIF location master to APO.

Ravi

Functionality of APO SNP capacity levelling

I am using APO V5.1 SNP capacity levelling.
When capacity levelling runs on a given resource and tries to move planned orders, does it respect the relevant lot size parameters defined for a product?
Thanks for any advice on this...

Hi,
In APO SNP , Capacity leveling takes into account lot size data that is defined in the master data(Product Master) with following restrictions:
It takes into account fixed lot sizes, maximum lot sizes, and minimum lot sizes.
However, the system does NOT considet period lot sizes or lot sizes from PPMs/PDS.
Further to the above, the capacity leveling method that you choose controls the way in which the system takes into account lot sizes.
If we choose heuristic-based capacity leveling, the system uses the same rules as for the SNP heuristic when taking lot sizes into account; and
if we choose optimization-based capacity leveling, the system uses the same rules as for the SNP optimizer.
Hope this gives you insight.

CIF PDS for SNP and PPDS

Dear Experts,
I am using SNP and PPDS
do i need to have sales bom for SNP PDS is it mandatory ,
or just normal production bom is enough for having both snp and ppds Product data structure
Thanks & Regards
Raj

Dear Satya,
Thanks for your reply
I know PV is needed for SNP PDS , is the PV which is used for SNP PDS is same for PDS PP/DS, or we need to use and special key during CIF ing to APO from ECC 6

Hi All,
Could u pls help me out in the below questions...
1 Integration methodologies of DP-SNP, DP-PPDS, DP-GATP, DP-BI and DP-ECC
2 what is role of CIF in DP?
Thanks in advance.

hi
There is no seperate integration methodologies between the apo modules, interfaces and background jobs are planying big roll to transfer master data, transaction data and planning data.
CIF is interface between ECC and APO.

Fetch SNP and PPDS orders

hi,
I am new to APO. How to get PPDS and SNP planned orders from livecache.
Regards
Dhanu

1)     I am able to get all SNP and PPDS order using BAPI called BAPI_PPDSSRVAPS_GET_IO_NODES from Live cache. This BAPI fetching order id as key field.
2)     I need to fetch the data from DMCP table using this order id but there is no link with this order id with DMCP table.
3)     There is a field called GUID in DMCP table. I used one FM to convert order ids to GUIDs to get the data from DMCP table. All order ids got converted into GUID.
4)     Till here everything is good.
5)     But when I am trying to pull the data from DMCP table based on GUID, it is pulling only SNP orders not PP/DS orders.
6)     I have tried so many ways but I am getting SNP orders only.
7) I need SNP and PPDS orders
Can you help me on this?

Difference between SNP and PPDS.

Hi all,
i want to know the functional diff betwn Snp and PPDS. .
i mean what activities come under Snp, after what activities it is under PPDS. . .
Any info on the same will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Prasad.

Hi Prasad,
SNP basically does rough cut capacity planning on a constrained or unconstraint situation whereas PPDS does time continous finite capacity based on constraint or unconstaint situation.
SNP & PPDS works on horizons. There are scenarios were SNP horizon can overlap with PPDS horizon.
SNP uses SNP PPM as master data whereas PPDS PPM as master data. The output are SNP orders and PPDS orders.
The minimum day for SNP planning is 1 day whereas PPDS can go upto even 1 sec(ie microscopic planning)
Starting from a demand plan, Supply Network Planning determines a permissible short- to medium-term plan for fulfilling the estimated sales volumes. This plan covers both the quantities that must be transported between two locations (for example, distribution center to customer or production plant to distribution center), and the quantities to be produced and procured. When making a recommendation, Supply Network Planning compares all logistical activities to the available capacity
We use the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) component
a) To create procurement proposals for in-house production or external procurement to cover product requirements
b) To optimize and plan the resource schedule and the order dates/times in detail

R. Senthil Mareeswaran.

Rolling schedules for steel options between SNP and PPDS

We are trying to set up something within the APO SNP/PPDS tool to
plan rolling schedules for steel.
eg multiple resources, most of which are 100 percent rolling schedules,
with many different "blocks", and common rolls may occur say every 4 weeks, or
every 14 weeks.
And so each roll we need to plan "Quantity required before the next roll" - eg
a 14 week quantity.
We have set up PPDS Blocks using CDP settings with characteristics in our
test system.
Seperate to that we have an SNP model where we plan across multiple plants,
for a 12-24 month period, and we have multiple level BOMS where there may
be 2 semi-finished products between the Finished and Raw material. Eg heat
treated and non-heat treated.
Sometimes one of the interim semi-finished products is the bottleneck, so we
need to use capacity leveling to reduce quantities at all levels of the BOM.
Our main issue is that the SNP quantities that we plan, we are not able to feed into
the PPDS blocks, as SNP does not deal with characteristics.
So in our test, all we can do is use the SNP quantities for higher level plans.
Then delete the SNP orders, and re-run a new PPDS plan to get quantities in our blocks,
but we then have lost all the capacity levelling information from SNP.
Does anyone have any method to deal with this scenario? ie how to model rolling schedules
by utilising the strengths of the SNP mult-plant and capacity leveling data, and then
somehow also taking into account "blocks", or "rolling schedules"?

In our testing. With CDP setting, we create a fcst element with a characteristic on the material. eg RED/BLUE/GREEN, and in PPDS, I can then create a PPDS order with the characterstic linked and visible in the PPDS order, and linked to the BLOCK on the resource (Blocks of RED GREEN for example)
But SNP orders do not work with these characteristics.
This is backed up by various documentation from SAP.
eg
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/b0/3c2463c7cbb54bacfb75c789100ad4/content.htm
SNP cannot plan with characteristics. However, the characteristic assignments remain and can be evaluated in PP/DS.
CDP in SNP
CDP cannot be used in SNP as the SNP does __not support__ characteristics.
http://books.google.com.au/books?id=KjvOY_4P8JEC&pg=PA13&lpg=PA13&dq=CDPSNPcharacteristics&source=bl&ots=tG9-FGeIo9&sig=CzW-hktRFP2DrlOaied2QMY7gNE&hl=en#v=onepage&q=CDP%20SNP%20characteristics&f=false
(In this book - a list of which APO areas do and do not work with Characteristics. SNP does not)
