Architecture of SAP SCM

What is the architecture of SAP SCM?

SAP SCM 4.1 is based on the SAP Web Application Server 6.40. All SAP SCM 4.1 Architecture Components can be installed on one hardware server, as long as this server is sized for all used application components.

SAP SCM and SAP APO: Best practices, tips and recommendations

Hi,
I have been gathering useful information about SAP SCM and SAP APO (e.g., advanced supply chain planning, master data and transaction data for advanced planning, demand planning, cross-plant planning, production planning and detailed scheduling, deployment, global available-to-promise (global ATP), CIF (core interface), SAP APO DP planning tools (macros, statistical forecasting, lifecycle planning, data realignment, data upload into the planning area, mass processing u2013 background jobs, process chains, aggregation and disaggregation), and PP/DS heuristics for production planning).
I am especially interested about best practices, tips and recommendations for using and developing SAP SCM and SAP APO. For example, [CIF Tips and Tricks Version 3.1.1|https://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700006480652001E] and [CIF Tips and Tricks Version 4.0|https://service.sap.com/form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000596412005E] contain pretty useful knowledge about CIF.
If you know any useful best practices, tips and recommendations for using and developing SAP SCM and SAP APO, I would appreciate if you could share those assets with me.
Thanks in advance of your help.

Jarmo Tuominen

Hi Jarmo,
Apart from what DB has suggested. you should give a good reading on the following.
-Consulting Notes (use the application component filters in search notes)
-Collective Notes (similar to the one above)
-Release Notes
-Release Restrictions
-If $$ permit subscribe to www.scmexpertonline.com. Good perspective on concepts around SAP SCM.
-There are a couple of blogs (e.g. www.apolemia.com) .. but all lack breadth.. some topics in depth.
-"Articles" section on this site (not all are classified well.. see in ECCops, mfg, SCM, Logistics etc)
-Serivce.sap.com- check the solution details overview in knowledge exchange tab. There are product presentations and collaterals for every release. Good breadth but no depth.
-Building Blocks - available for all application areas. This is limited to vanilla configuration of just making a process work and nothing more than that.
-Get the book "Sales and Operations Planning with SAP APO" by SAP Press. Its got plenty of easy to follow stuff, good perspective and lots of screen shots to make life easier.
-help.sap.com the last thing that most refer after all "handy" options (incl. this forum) are exhausted. Nevertheless, this is the superset of all "secondary" documents. But the maze of hyperlinks that start at APO might lead you to something like xml schema.
Key Tip: Appreciate that SAP SCM is largely driven by connected execution systems (SAP ECC/ERP). So the best place to start with should be a good overview of ERP OPS solution overview, at least at the significant level of depth.). Check this document at sdn wiki "ERP ops architecture overview".
I have some good collection of documents though many i havent read myself. If you need them let me know.

SAP SCM 7.0 and ERP 6.00 integration.

Hi,
We should implement SCM-APO scenario using Sap SCM 7.0. The business process will be Demand Planning & Forecasting and Supply Network Planning. We need to connect the new SCM to ERP 6.0 (Sap Basis, ABA, AP 7.0 )
Which are the requirements about ERP 6.00 ? Is it need to install the EHP 4 on ERP 6.0 or no ?
I found on Sap Markeplace a .pdf about the architecture of SCM 7.0 but the integration with Sap ERP is not quite clear.
thank's for your help.
Antonino Chirico

Hi Antonio,
We also plan to install an SCM in 1 customer landscape.
According to SCM security guide SCM should be connected in secure way to ERP.
do you plan to establish secure communication between the 2 components?
BTW:
we do not plan to use PI in such scenario.In our case there is no real value in such recommendation.

Data exchange between SAP SCM and an external java tool via JCo

Hi everybody,
the situation i am in is the following:
We are developping a java application for production planning using multi-agent systems. What I am currently working on is an integration concept towards SAP via JCo. I am using a SAP SCM System.
What i got is the following:
I got the JCo connection to SCM and I am able to execute BAPIs from Java.
Now my problem is the following:
We want to recognize a change in the SCM System, e.g. when someone added a new manufacturing order. What do I have to do for that?
Do I have to register a JCO.Server as a RFC Destination?
Do I have to use SCM EventManagement to handle the corresponding events?
In Java terms, what I want is a EventListener for some events - but neither do I know how the events are created nor how they are transferred to third party systems...
Anyone with a hint?
Thanks a lot!
Greetings
Jan

Hi Jan,
architecturally you will need to determine a point in the SCM application logic to understand that a relevant event has occurred and then issue a notification "message" - in your case it sounds like your system is directly coupled so it wouldn't exactly be a message but an RFC call instead.
On SCM itself all you need is the RFC-enabled function module interface (an ABAP development), a logical destination and a hook somewhere in the application logic to make the RFC call.
From a JCo perspective you then just have to implement an "RFC server" that responds to these RFC calls.
Most difficult part will be to find a suitable hook in the SCM application logic that doesn't modify any delivered SAP code but uses an enhancement technique like a BADI.
Anything you can share about your planned development? Is this specifically for a customer or are you planning on releasing a product?

SAP SCM 5.10 with F&R - Update SAP Netweaver 7.0 to 7.0 EHP2 (702)

Hello Experts,
almost all of our SAP-System has now SAP Netweaver 7.0 EHP2 (702) Abap-Stack.
The last system that we will update is a "SAP SCM 5.10" with the F&R component. The mean software level is:
SAP Basis               700 SP23
SCM SCEMSRV      5.1 SP16
SCM                        5.1 SP15
FRP-Kernel                   SP15
To update the SAP-Neatweaver componet to EHP2 have we do an upgrade for the SCM-Server or the SCM itself and what will be now the target relase?
In the documentation is this not realy clear for us.
Kind regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
finally for NW 7.0 EHP2 you need to upgrade F&R to F&R 5.1 on SCM 7.0 EHP1.
For details, have a look to the SAP Installation and Upgrade information.
Path: SAP Service Marketplace on http://service.sap.com/ --> SAP Support Portal --> Software Download Center --> Software Downloads --> Software Download Center --> 2nd item: Installation & Upgrades --> A - Z Index --> select letter 'F' --> SAP F&R (option: SAP Forecasting & Replenishment for Retail (for use with SAP merchandising software))
Options; SCM release + EHP; NW release + EHP
F&R 5.1;SCM 2007 (= SCM5.1); NW 7.0
F&R 5.1 on SCM 7.0; SCM 7.0; NW 7.0 EHP1 or NW 7.3
F&R 5.1 on SCM 7.0; SCM 7.0 EHP1; NW 7.0 EHP2
Kind regards,
Rainer

Send IDoc from SAP SCM to XI

Hi,
Can somebody give me step by step procedure to send IDoc form SAP SCM to XI. We are not using ICH. IDoc is coming to SCM through EDI. Once it is posted in SCM, we want to send it to XI. We had a option of sending directly to XI through EDI connectivity, but for some reason we want to post it in SCM and then send it to XI.
Thanks,
Sanjay

hi,
sending IDOCs to XI is always the same
apart from documents section in the XI FAQ (link below)
when you can find some IDOC weblogs
you can also find lots of configuration examples for IDOC-XI scenarios in my book:

IDOC to XML and send it to SAP SCM SNC(Supplier network colloboration)

I am currently working in a project which I need to send the PO IDOC to PI (which is working fine) and convert it to xml and send it to SNC system which is SAP SCM system. I am not sure if this is going to be an IDOC or xml , I wasn't given more information as all of us are new to this SNC environment. Any help would highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Menaga

Following are the interface mappings in use for the Purchase Order scenario from ERP to SNC
1. create purchase order -> display PO (ERP to SNC)
OrdersOrders05_ReplenishmentOrderNotification_01
2. Create or change PO -> Display updated PO (ERP to SNC)
OrdchgOrders05_ReplenishmentOrderNotification_01
3. Confirm PO or change in web UI (SNC to ERP)
ReplenishmentOrderConfirmation_OrdrspOrders05_01
4. Create or Change Purchase Order -> Receive and Display Purchase Order (ERP to SNC)
OrdntfOrdint01_ReplenishmentOrderNotification_01
Just configure the Integration scenario "MaintainPurchase_Order_Processing" from http://sap.com/xi/SNC/Global namespace present in SNC 5.1 SWC
in your ID.
In SNC Scenarios Idocs will be sent and received from ERP and ABAP Proxies (Client/ Server) used at SNC side. You do not have to code for the ABAP Proxies as the proxies will already be inmplemented in your SNC system.
So 1. configure your SNC system for ABAP Proxy configuration
2. Configure the Integration scenario "MaintainPurchase_Order_Processing" in ID
3. Configure your ERP system for IDoc send/ receive
You are done.

Career Prospects In SAP SCM

Hi everybody,
I am working in freight forwarding industry and having experience of more then 10 Years in various department right from documentation to sales. I have worked with shipping lines, Inland Container depot and freight forwarders. To enhance my skills and giving it a technical edge i want to do a training in SAP SCM. As I don't have any exposure to SAP except doing some documentation work on SAP based Shipping Lines.
I need your valuable suggestions on how should I go about it. Can I go for classroom learning directly or i need to have some experience with SAP based organizations prior to that.
What are the career prospects in SAP SCM.
Regards
Akanksha

Hi Akanksha,
i have done my Engineering from L.N.C.T . Indore. I know indore and its market, i don't think you will get any good training at Indore, so you have to move either Bangaluru, Pune/Mumbai or at Delhi NCR.
As at Bengaluru you will get tough competition with fellow SCM employee, so not suggested.
SCM market is good but its a domain specific , as i don't know much more about SCM , so just posting some useful links, from where you can gain knowledge. SCM market is consistent as far as i know, so take a foot ahead for a new begining, you will surely get what you wants .
Here are some links, which help you in boosting your knowledge.

IDES-Scenarios for SAP SCM APO?

Hello!
Lately I have been working with SAP ECC on an IDES system and help.sap.com provides nice example scenarios on how to use it (things like: how to specifiy production plans and orders for building a motor bike in the IDES-Company).
But now working with SAP SCM, and i cannot find any scenarios describing how to use the system with the included training data.
Anybody knows where the examples are or if they exist?
Thanks a lot!
