Questions about APO training (Please reply urgently).

Hey guys,
I am starting my training in APO with a training institute ,which will train me for about 50 hrs on APO, and grant me 3 months of access to the SAP system.
I had the following questions.
1. What are the prior requirements if you have to take certification exam for APO? Are there any prerequisites, or any sort of other requirements?
2. I wanted to know if 3 months access would be enough for me to prepare for certification?If not then how much access is enough?
3. How long can I not give the exam again, if I fail once?
Thanks a lot guys,
Take care.

Please refer to the WIKI page of (Supply Chain Management) SCM in the APO section in the same SDN site; you have FAQs and good training material in that WIKI page. Please refer to this, hope this may help you.

APO training

Gents
If we have installed ECC 6.0 IDES than do I need to install SCM separately or I can directly work in IDES for APO?
Is there any training material for APO?
Thanks
Vinay

Hello Vinay -
ECC and SCM systems are two different worlds altogether. so you need to install SCM to work on APO.
Training Material is available on help.sap.com. other then that there is this forum where you can ask questions the moment you are not able to resolve your queries.
hope this helps.

Looking for APO training in Detroit area or online

Hello.
I am brand new to SAP, and hoping to learn APO and combine it with my profesisonal experience for a new career direction. I have included a brief summary of my experience and education at the end of this post.
I am looking for a quality online /eLearning course for APO or a live course in the Detroit area to supplement my official SAP Education USA courses. I am much in need of SAP system access / lab setting for practicing etc.
I have taken SAP01 through SAP Education USA, and scheduled for:
SCM130     SAP R/3 Planning and Manufacturing Overview
SCM200     Business Processes in Planning (SCM)
Thank you,
Brian
Brief background:
*Brand new to SAP, and not currently working with it
*Experienced Supply Chain / manufacturing professional, exculsively in a Big Three automotive company (non-manager)
*MBA, (Supply Chain Management concentration)
*MS, Information Technology Management
*Process experience in EDI, JIT, lean, planning, forecasting, scheduling, material releasing
*Cross functional experience in logistics, purchasing, sales and marketing (demand and volume planning)
*Excellent system / technology skills including experience with i2 Integrated Volume Planning (IVP) and Gateline Optimization Product (GOP)

Hi Brian,
               It is unfortunate but there are no real reliable people for teaching particularly APO. The best bet I would say is sap itself. It is worth every penny. I searched for people all over US and burnt my hands few places as well as they took money but did not teach even what they said. APO itself if fairly new and very few people expertise in it.
Read the material first before going to the certification. I am sure with your background, you should be able to grab the topics fairly easily.I think the only uphill task for you is to understand how SAP deal with the supply chain not understanding the topics of SCM.
All the best.

I need APO DP enduser training material

hi gurus,
i need APO DP enduser training material, how to give the end user training, what contents should i tell and what is the process of end user training. can u tell me how should i give.
Regards,
babu

Babu,
That depends on the business functions that must be performed by the endusers. I usually focus on business tasks, rather than software functionality.
When I conduct enduser training, I usually spend a week or two interviewing several Key users about their day-to-day activities. Once I understand how they will be using DP, I then prepare the most common scenarios in a sandbox. Then, I produce step-by-step instruction documents, usually containing screen prints, for each task they will be performing. During the class, I go through each business task one-by-one, in a real system, filling in details and theory verbally, while they read along in their written manuals. I put very little technical info in the enduser docs, since that type of information should already exist in the technical specs that should be on file with the IT group.

Free Training Documentation for APO

Everyone,
Does anyone know about a good training document for APO configuration.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Gayatri

Gayatri,
APO is a rather significant subsystem of SCM. Most experts don't attempt to learn all of it. I suggest that you focus on a few solutions that you think you will be needing, rather than learning the whole thing.
For starters, when learning configuration, always start with SAP's Best Practices. For APO, look at
http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv250/BBLibrary/HTML/BBLibrary_EN_DE.htm.
Each of the building blocks contains a configuration doc. If you can master all of these, you will be more knowledgeable than 90% of the professional consultants in the business.

Purchase Requisition Transfers from SCM 5.0 APO to R/3

I am working on SCM 5.0 -- transferring Purchase Requisitions from APO to R/3 from SNP heurristic run. I am wondering if there is any documented procedure of available options and the steps involved in setting up.
Can you transfer only certain Purchase Requisitions instead of ALL?
Can you setup approval workflow to allow the transfer of only approved PRs ?
What steps involved to get PRs from the SNP Heuristic?
I found the IMG Activity (SAP SCM Implementation Guide  Advanced Planning and Optimization  Supply Chain Planning  Supply Network Planning (SNP)  Basic Settings  Configure Transfer to OLTP system).
I shall greatly apprecaite if some one answers the questions and points me to some 'How to Guide or the steps involved in setting up'.
Thanks

Devendra,
You actually need the SCM-APO-CIF (Core Interface) Training for this. A Pre-requisite to that is the APO Overview. Have you undergone it ?
In Short i will tell you the answers you want ... I hope you will reward me with Points if you feel it was helpful.
To Transfer PRs from APO to R3 following setup is needed ..
- Do Configuration of STO (Stock Transfer) in R3. Ensure Stock Transfer PRs and STOs between the 2 Plants can be created Manually in R3. This will require you to do a Lot of MM & SD Configuration on IntraCompany STOs.
A Key Part for APO is to set the STO Order Types for the
Source and Destination Plant, Assign Vendor to the Shipping Plant, Customer to the Destination Plant .. etc. A Test of correct setup is your ability to create a PR and STO manually in R3 first before you do APO.
- Setup of all APO Locations (Plants in SAP-R3), Products (Materials in SAP-R3). These are done via the Location and Product Integration Models. Make sure you have defined the Timezone in the Plant and set the Plant in SAP as DC or Production Plant (Refer CIF Training).
- Setup of Transport Lanes in APO (done manually in APO).
You define Transport Durations here.
- You have to have the Purchase Requisition Integration Model Active for those Product Locations. To do the Integration Model all CIF Configuration including the one IMG you have described in your Question is to be done. Assuming that the Products are set to 'X0' MRP Type in R3 ... so they are set to Planning in APO.
- For Setup in "Configure Transfer to OLTP" it is best to select 'Periodic Transfer' so you can actually control the Product-Locations and Date Range of PRs APO has created. The Planning Runs create 'Change Pointers' to send the PRs to R3.
- Define in APO that you will be sending Purchase Requisitions at your Destination Location to R3. You use 'Publish Change Pointers' - /sapapo/cp1 to do this.
- The Change Pointers are created after APO Planning run which can be sent to R3 using /sapapo/c5. You should send them periodically after you're satisfied with the planning results or in Night Batch runs after your Planning run.
- To Control some type of PRs you will have to use User Exits in APO for CIF that send External Procurement / PRs from APO to R3. This is not Standard. But I am not sure why you will have different types of PRs for Stock Transfer between 2 Plants. There is no need. You can control PRs between 2 Locations to not go to R3, via the selection of locations in /sapapo/c5.
Hope you find this usefull.

Ambrish Mathur

SAP APO SYSTEM REFRESH

Hi All,
We are going for a system refresh from PRD to DEV in our SAP SCM-APO 7.0 , Live Cache 7.7,The SCM system runs on a DB6 platform with Windows OS, and the DEV is similar to PRD in terms of OS n DB, but am i a little bit confused because it looks like in PRD both SCM & Live Cache are in the same server but in DEV its on different server.How do it go about it,please give ur valuable suggestion from scratch
Thanks,
Vivek

Alex,
Those books that you 'found' are classroom textbooks; and they are generally only made available to students who are taking the underlying class.
For these classes, SAP loads data into their training systems that support the classroom curricula, prior to the start of each class.
So, the easy answer is "take the SAP class". If you take the class, SAP will provide you with a new copy of the course material, and once you are in the classroom, you are generally provided with access to their training system, which is consistent with the course material.

Oil & Gas space-APO SNP

Hello Expart,
An oil distribution company, currently investigating options for managing their Supply Chain from overseas ports to their terminals. They currently run APO-DP and we have proposed they use APO-SNP. They arenu2019t convinced this is the right option for them. I was wondering if you have any experience with Oil & Gas in this space and whether your experience and references could help us.
Thanks
Parves

Hi Girish,
i think the best way to get in to this module by knowing some of the business process, such as Exchange business flow, Stock transport order, delivery process, packaging, Cross docking etc.
you can find the link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_oil472/helpdata/en/83/496c3a411aab70e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
OGSD Oil and Gas seconday distribution is also good to know, along with the RLM
As per the training is concerned there are much to go through if you know the above mentioned business process you can do the configuration.
hope this may be useful
