Desinger fom SCM (APO) infocube.

Hi all,
I'm using BOBJ Enterprise 3.1 and Integration kit 3.1.
I tried to extract data from info cube from SAP SCM (APO) and i can't see any data.
Anybody knows if BOBJ can extract from SCM infocube or only from SAP BW? Or maybe an documentation with explanation about how to do this loads...
Thansks in advice,
Ralph

Hi Sai,
When you are creating CVCs from infocube, please make sure that the input values in the selection screen of the transaction for creating CVCs are correct:
1. Version in the selection screen is existing in infocube. This is the version in the infocube and not in the DP PA.
2. Secondly, date from and to fields need to be correct and matching with the same in the infocube
3. Check if clicking "Number of Hits' on the selection screen , gives you the no. of CVCs which would get created.
Only if you see here number, then program will create CVCs in the DP PA.
Please check and confirm.
Regards
Datta

To load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.

Experts,
Please let me know whether it is possible to load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.If so explain the steps to perform.
Thanks,
Meera

Hi,
Think in this way,
To load the data fro any source we need datasource Ok. You can genare Export data source for Cube in APO, then use that datasource for BW extraction, try like this. I think it will work, in my case I'm directly loading data from APO to BW using the DataSource sthat are genaraed on Planning Area.
Why you need to take data from APO cube?. Is there any condition for that?. If it is not mandatory, you can use the dame datasource and load the data to BW, if they have any conditions while loading the data from APO to APO cube, they you try check wherther it is possible in BW or not. If possible then you use DataSource and do the same calculation in BW directly.
Thanks

How to Use Function_Loader_Inlay in SCM APO Version 4?

Hi ,
I was going through the SE38 - Program - Function_Loader_Inlay , to check the possibilities of upload and download product/location combinations in SCM APO version of 4.0.
But I am not able to use it as per the selection screen given.
Please let me know if some one has used the same.
Any inputs regarding the documentation OR how to use would be appreciated.
Thank you - Prasad.

HI,
We do not use this program.
For Characteristic combination creation as per product- location we use transaction /sapapo/mc62 inthat
Create characteristic combination --> infoprovider file
I would also like to know more about APOLoder which uses program which you have mentioned.
Function_Loader_Inlay report is no official SAP software.
It encapsulates ApoLoader functionality inside APO system

[Beginner:] Incorporation of ECC, BI and SCM APO Inquiries

Hi All,
I would like to seek your help on something I am working on. We have this supplies procurement planning tool that I was helping to create. Our general objective is to create a tool that will give a forecast of supplies that people need to procure from a facility for the future months. I am under BI and I am wondering on the basics regarding BI and SCM APO data flows. Honestly, I am still clueless on this. I have seen from our systems that most loads come from APO going to BI. Is it always that way? Are data from ECC considered as well?
Hoping to hear lots of advises on this. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge to a newbie like me.

Saging,
Hmmm. It seems a bit odd to be creating a 'forecasting-of-material-procurement' tool, when SAP has so many already built in, either within ERP or within APO. Oh well, I am sure there must be a good reason.
I have seen from our systems that most loads come from APO going to BI. Is it always that way?
BI type data can come from any source. The most common BI solutions I have seen is where BI data are extracted from the main ERP. However, the beauty of BI is that it doesn't care, SAP builds in functionality to get data from anywhere.
Are data from ECC considered as well?
They can be if you design it so.
You should be aware that most data existing in ERP that are relevant for material planning also usually exist in APO. The Core Interface between ERP and APO is normally set up to natively replicate substantial quantities of Master data and also transactional data. It may be that in your business environment, you really don't need to connect to anything other than APO. However, this is not a limitation of BI, it is just smart programming to try to minimize the number of sources of your data.

BAPI Function Module for SCM APO Tcode /SAPAPO/AC42

Hi,
I want to know the BAPI Function Modules for SCM APO Tcode /SAPAPO/AC42.
   This BAPI FM should return the column values "Remaining Prod Alloc" and "Incoming Order Quantity" when we give
   below details as inputs for the Tcode /SAPAPO/AC42
        Product Allocation Group
        Product
        Allocation Procedure
        prod Alloc step
        Product Alloc Object (Characteristics of Product Alloc Group)
        Plant (Characteristics of Product Alloc Group)
        Customer Group 5 (Characteristics of Product Alloc Group)
    Reward points if helpful.
Thanks,
Mich

Hi,
You should be able to get the information using the standard BAPI (Assuming you are using SCM5.0) BAPI_APOPAL_INSERT in the transaction BAPI.
ProductAllocationAPO.DataInsert
Interface to Import Product Allocation Data Functionality
This method is used to adopt data from OLTP systems for product allocation in the global availability check.
You can do the following using the method:
Adopt new data
You can adopt new characteristics combinations or new time series. Newly created characteristics combinations have the status Active and are therefore included in the product allocation check.
Change existing data
You can overwrite existing data if you have set the interface parameter ALLOW_UPDATE. You can set the status of existing characteristics combinations to Active if you set the interface parameter UPDATE_STATUS. If the characteristics combination does not exist, the system creates it.
The product allocation quantity is overwritten for existing time series. If you also want to change the incoming orders quantity, you must set the interface parameter UPDATE_INCOMING_ORDER_QTY. If the time series does not exist, the system creates it.
Prerequisite
To be able to use this method, you must have made all the Customizing settings for product allocation. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP APO under Global Available-to-Promise -> Product Allocation.

SCM, APO and EWM

Hi Experts,
My apology if I'm posting this on the wrong category.
I'd like to ask for SAP SCM (APO, EWM etc) if its a separate installation like with SAP ECC or it can be added as one of the components for SAP ECC?
Cheers,
R-jay

Hi R-Jay,
SAP SCM Applications are separate installations like SAP ECC or SAP CRM software applications .
Within SAP SCM also there are separate licensing requirements for APO, EWM, EM, SNC applications.
For SAP EWM and EM, SAP ECC add on option is available, however, the licenses for EWM, EM will be seperate than thoseof ECC.

Multiple Clients in SCM-APO?

In a Development SCM-APO 5.0 environment, can we have multiple clients? For instance, can we have a unit test client(with master and transactional data), a security client, and a golden configuration client.
We have heard that there may be issues with having more than one client, but we are not sure if this is correct. Our SCM-APO unit test client would be the only one that is connected to a BW (3.5) Development client and a R/3 (4.7) Development client. The security and golden config client would not be connected to external systems. Is this landscape possible and supported by SAP?

I do not have a good answer but it seems APO-DP uses BW as Data Mart which results in some restriction in using multiple client. See SAP Note 522569 for details. Moreover in the Multi-client Whitepaper (attached to SAP Note 31557) the table in page 23 mentions Multi-client Status for APO with DP : Not OK and APO w/o DP : Restricted OK.
Hope this is of some help.

CRM - SCM-APO integration - TPOP

Hi all, i have TPOP (Third Party Order Processing) scenario which involves CRM and APO integration. I create a sales order and this triggers a planned purchase order in SCM APO. How do i find that planned purchase order in SCM APO?

Hi Animesh
If you do not know what the order number that was created then you can go into the product view to find the order. As you are aware this transaction is by product (also enter location and version 000). Press enter and do not press the Create Order button. This takes you into a screen where all elements for the product are shown. You will need to know what date the order was created on then you can find it. Since you are looking for planned purchase orders these should come into APO as planned requisitions in which case your order should appear with either 'PurRqs' or 'SNP: PReq' in the Category column. I believe if you double click into the order you can see all of the products.
If you do know the order number (maybe sales order is updated in CRM?) then use transaction /sapapo/rrp2.
Be sure that you are looking for purchase orders and not planned orders - the method to view them will be the same just different categories in the categories column.

Interfaces R3 - SCM APO with qrfc

Hi,
We have some interfaces from R3 to SCM APO system which actually runs with tRFC.
We want to change it to a qRFC scenario.
I've configured queues and systems as documentation
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm41/helpdata/en/13/747b3704716066e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
But nothing has change in our interfaces.
Queues are not used.
I have no experience in SCM APO and i don't what is wrong or what step is missing.
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance.
S.

Sara,
Keep reading that help doc, into the subsequent sections. You have to generate and activate Integration models, which will specify exactly why type of data will be exchanged, and which individual records. Start with transaction CFM1.
If any of your master data changes, then you generally need to re-generate and re-activate your IMs each time. Many people commit these to periodic jobs.

Any SCM-APO ABAPpers out there ????

Hey folks -
In my new job I'm going to have to do some exit/BAdI programming in SCM-APO.
Somnath Manna has told me that over in the SCM-APO Forum, the expertise is primarily functional, i.e. not many "techies" post or respond there.
So who's going to answer my questions?
Which of the "regulars" here at the ABAP Forum know the technical side of SCM-APO?
Come on, folks ... I know you're out there ... !

SCM APO can we copy the data from client 001 to client 002???

Hi Guru's
SCM APO can we copy the data from client 001 to client 002???
If it is possibulity please let me know?
Regards,
Sree

Yes you can do.
Tcode SCCL.
Options :
When copying clients, you can select what you want to transfer from the source client to the target client:
User masters: You select this option, for example, if you want to give all users of an existing client the same authorizations in the target client.
Client-specific Customizing: You select this option, for example, if you want to set up a new client in an existing system.
Client-specific Customizing and master/transaction data:
You select this option, for example, if you want to set up a test client that is identical to the production client (in the same system).
Client-specific and cross-client Customizing: You select this option, for example, if you want to set up a quality assurance system based on the production client of another system.
Client-specific and cross-client Customizing and master/transaction data: You select this option, for example, if you want to set up a test client based on the production client of another system.
