Archiving SAP APO

Hi
I have got the information from SAP help on what are the archiving objects that can be used to archive SAP-APO. I came to know that SAP APO is a separate box. If I need to archive the data from SAP-APO using the corresponding archiving objects, do we have SARA t-code in the SAP-APO box? Or if we want to run the Archive programs thru R/3, how can we communicate SAP-APO with our external R/3 which has got SARA active.
Please suggest, thank you.

Hi,
I have identified, there are no archiving objects specific to application area "XF - Planning".
If we have SAP APO in a separate system, can anyone tell me the best practice to follow for Data Archiving.
As, I have new system in place and donot have data to analyze, please suggest me a list of Archiving Objects to be implemented in such scenario.
Thank You for your help in advance.
With Regards,
Santanu

Unable to Open Bex report from SAP APO User Menu

Hi All,
I am an SAP APO consultant, and have not miuch expereice in BEx reporting. As APO uses Build in BI for reporting and pulling history from either external BW or R/3.
Now my issue all BEx reports we use are assigned ot my user menu and when I select a report, I would expect report to open but an excel sheet opens and closes and nothing happens. However I am able to open this reports from my desktop menu selecting Business explorer and Analyzer and linking my SAP system. I use Excel 2007 , Is this some compactibilty issue or is there anything I need to do?

Hi KV,
There's a couple of possible root cause why you dont see properly the Bex Report.
Can you share to me the APO version and the BW software component being used?
In case this is still in the 3.x, 4.x APO, I think, a separate BW add on is needed for you to run your BEx report properly. You can ask your basis team for this separate installation.
Btw, is this report working before, meaning was it pulled successfully already in the past?
Can you try doing this again in a separate workstation, as the BW add on is installed separately per workstation.
Its possible that this is also an auth issue that the user you are using is not capable enough to run BEx.
As of now, I have not encountered any Bex issue that is related with the Excel version, I have tried running Bex in Excel 2007 no issue also. I think it maybe more related with the OS you are using, if its in Vista already what I know is you need to add your excel as a trusted document before you can run bex fro Vista.
Let me think of other possibilities.
Hope this helps.

SAP APO with SAP R/3 integration

Hi All,
From a technical perspective, what is it that a developer should know to work on SAP APO with SAP R/3 integration. Kindly elaborate on this if you can...
Thanks in advance.

Standard APO and R/3 CIF integration does not need additional ABAP coding.
However if you are going to enhance any master or transaction data while transfer via CIF using BADI or User-exits then good amount of ABAP expertise is required.
Per my understanding USer-exits are classical ABAP while BADI are Object-oriented.
While I cannot comment if there will be "immense" amount of coding to be done but CIF user exits remain a critical component of any implementation. Its not the "amount" but "complexity" - need to understand the source system and target system behaiour and then accordingly modify, that matters.
Thumbrule - if its master data modification then its simple. If its transaction data modification then its can become quite complex.
Hope this helps.

How sales order number generated in the SAP R/3 is transferred to SAP APO

Dear Experts,
During the creation of the Sales order in SAP R/3 an Purchase requisition is created in SAP APO and assigned with temporary sales order and when we save the sales order in R/3 the corresponding sales order number is attached with the purchase requisition in SAP APO. Is there any exits or BADI available while this Sales order detail transferred to APO or during this sales order details attached to Purchase requisition in APO side.
Many thanks in advance,
Senthil

Senthil,
During the creation of the Sales order in SAP R/3 a Purchase requisition is created in SAP APO
?? I guess you are talking about one of the planning procedures that executes 'Start product heuristic immediately', yes?
and assigned with temporary sales order
I guess you are talking about [Temporary Quantity Assignments|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_glossary/en/74/b171467944d3119b440060b0671acc/content.htm], yes?
Is there any exits or BADI available while this Sales order detail transferred to APO
Standard enhancements are
Sales order CIF enhancement on the ECC side
CIFSLS03 (outbound from ECC)
Sales order CIF enhancement on the APO side
APOCF010 (Inbound from ECC)

SAP APO and WM

Hello All,
Is it possible to put some warehouse related controls and limitations in SAP APO (SCM) without having EWM? For example, a certain warehouse can only process 300 orders and if anyone tries to place order beyond 300 then it automatically pushes the CGID to next day?
Second example can be on availability of truck? If the Truck leaves Warehouse only twice a day for a certain customer, then APO (SCM) automatically place the order on those two days?
Thanks,
Ali

Ali
You might be able to get GATP to meet at least some of your requirements with some creative thinking and enhancements. Standard GATP does not consider warehouse (field is not transferred from ECC to GATP during the ATP check), so you would add that to the field catalog through an enhancement (relatively simple). You could then use Product allocation functionality to limit the warehouse to 300 orders per day. Standard product allocation functionality is based on order quantities, not number of orders, so you would need an enhancement to modify this behaviour (sounds simple, but you would have to explore).
I don't understand what you mean by 'CGID', but you could get GATP to commit material availability dates based on warehouse limitations (push out material availability date based on next available free 'slot' in the warehouse). As long as you run the delivery due list with a short (say 1 day) window, this might work.
Configurable Process Scheduling (CPS) functionality within GATP may also work for your requirement of 'truck leaving warehouse only twice a day to a certain customer' - using customer-specific condition tables for transportation activity calendar determination.
One thing to remember is that GATP works only on commit dates of Orders (Sales Orders/ Stock Transport Orders), it doesnt directly influence actual pick/ pack/ ship activities in the warehouse (it does affect warehouse operations indirectly .)

How to change process chain in SAP APO, in RSCP tcode.

HI SAP APO Experts
I am from SAP ABAP background, I need to change a 'AND' operator in process chain in RSCP tranaaction in SAP APO.
I dont have any idea how to change process chain.
Could you please help me how to change process chain in SAP APO in RSCP tcode.
Appreciate your help or comments.
Sandeep..

Hi Sandeep,
The t-code RSCP does not exist in SAP APO. The correct t-code is RSPC.
Step 1:- In RSPC t-code, select the process chain which you need to change.
Step 2:- Double click on it.
Step 3:- It will display the various programmes attached to the process chain. Go to change mode by clicking on the change indicator (Control + F9)
Step 4:- Select the programme area where you need to do the correction or change. Double click on it.
Step 5:- It will take you to the programme and its selection contents. Make the relevant changes. You can directly carry out the change in se38 also if there is variant kind of changes for that particular programme.
Step 6:- Once the changes are done, save the changes and press F3 button which will take you to the home page of the process chain
Step 7:- Save again so that the change in the programme alongwith the process chain will get saved.

BW-BPS versus SAP APO

Hi!
Does someone know the main differences between BW-BPS and SAP APO. When should I pick one tool and when the other.
Best Regards,
Teresa.

BW-BPS and APO are very different products.
BW-BPS tend to be high level or generic planning and occassionally detailed level planning. Some common planning applications to be developed are Sales Planning, Inventory Planning, Profitability Planning, CCA/PCA planning, Financial statement planning, etc.
APO is more Supply Chain Management for production or demand planning with MRP and capacity checking....

BO reporting from SAP-APO

Hi ,
Is it possible to call a BO report from SAP screen? e.g. SAP-APO Demand planning Grid ?
Can we pass selections from SAP screen to BO and get the report based on the screen contents.....
Regards
Aniruddha

Thanks,
I tested Edge Standard and it only supports one integration kit at a time. I can either install EBS or SAP. Installation of one removes the entry of previously installed integration kit. So installing EBS on SAP integration kit removes SAP entry from CMS and offers EBS instead, similarly, installing SAP on EBS removes EBS entry from CMS and offers SAP authentication instead.
Thanks for the help.
Regards.

Whr should maintained a business system group in SAP APO

hi gurus,
where should i maintain business system group in SAP APO
can u explain me, what is the process, how it will work, why need BSG in APO
prasad

Hi,
We maintain Business System Group in APO IMG.
IMG >> SCM Basis >>Integration >> Basic Settings for Creating the System Landscape >> Maintai n Business System Group
In this IMG activity, we determine the assignment to a business system group of this system and the ERP systems that are to be connected. By doing this, you create areas with the same naming conventions. These guarantee that the same names are used for master data and also their synchronization in distributed system landscapes.
In addition to the ERP systems, this system too must be assigned to a business system group (BSG) as an independent logical system.
Proedure :
u2022     Choose New Entries.
u2022     On the New Entries: Overview screen, specify the following information for the business system group:
             o     An alphanumerical key (maximum of 10 characters).
             o     A description of your choice
u2022     Save your entries.
Example :
An SCM System is to be connected with the two ERP systems A and B in which two different materials (for example a hammer and a screw), have the same material number (100). The two materials are to be represented as two different products in the SCM system.
Assign The two ERP systems to different BSGs. Assign the SCM system to one of the two BSGs.
u2022     ERP system A (material number 100 = hammer) -> BSG A
u2022     ERP system A (material number 100 = screw) -> BSG B
u2022     SCM system -> BSG A
Hope this gives you insight.

Archiving SAP ISU FICA Documents

Hi
We are planning to archive SAP Print documents. Just wondering what is the best place to fit in the Archiving of FICA Documents. Before Print Documents or After Meter Reading Documents (when all the other objects are archived) Archiving?
What are the pros and cons of each approach?
Any Idea would be helpful.
I know from process prespective we can do anywhere but from a SAP Best practise or Other utitlities standards what is a recommended appraoch?
Thanks

Hi Ankur,
FICA documents are of 2 types: One is the clearing document and the other is the main document which is being cleared. (Here the main document is the corresponding FICA posting of an invoice). The archiving object FI_MKKDOC (for archiving FICA documents) archives both of these FICA documents separately. When you run the archiving program, you get two radio buttons:
1. ''Only Pure Clearing/ Stat. Documents''
2. ''Other documents (Invoice, Credit Memos, and so on)''.
There is a dependency within this object that the clearing documents should be archived before archiving the main document.
Hence regarding the program documentation of FI_MKKDOC you mentioned, the statement ''You cannot archive the invoice until you have archived the payment", it mentions the dependency of clearing and main FICA documents within the same object FI_MKKDOC and it does not mention the dependency between the object FI_MKKDOC and object ISU_PRDOCL (which is the object for Print document line item archiving).
Now coming to the dependency of different objects, unless and until the print document line items (object ISU_PRDOCL) and print document header items (object ISU_PRDOCH) are archived, the main documents of object FI_MKKDOC cannot be archived.
Hence as per the standard SAP process, the sequence of archiving should be first ISU_PRDOCL, then ISU_PRDOCH and only then object FI_MKKDOC (i.e first the print documents and then the FICA documents).
Again, within, FI_MKKDOC also, archive the ''Only Pure clearing documents'' first and only then archive ''Other Documents''.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any further clarifications.
Regards,
Megha
