Differece between SNP Optimizer and Deployment Optimizer

Hi,
Can anyone please list down the difference in the planning method for a deployment optimizer and SNP Optimizer?
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjog Mishrikotkar

Hi Sanjog,
First of all if we understand the difference between SNP Heuristic Planning run which finds the 'Source' of Supply with dates and quantities and Deployment Planning run which CONFIRMs the Supply .... then it is easy to understand the difference between SNP & Deployment Optimizer.
The Optimizer as you know Optimizes based on Costs and Objectively tries to MINIMIZE it. Therefore while the SNP Optimizer finds the most cost effective way of finding the Source of Supply with dates and quantities, identifying where in SC it is better to Store or move the Product, while the Deployment Optimizer generates the Best way to CONFIRM whether the Supply can ACTUALLY be done for the next few days. Deployment precedes the TLB Run which after confirmation we put the Quantities on a Transport Load to build Orders for Execution (Shipping).
Both are Cost based & use the Same Costs Information ... however one Plans and the Other Confirms. During Deployment Optimization run, the Optimizer may decide to confirm the supply from a different source than what the SNP Optimizer planned based on the Available to Deploy Stock Quanties and the Cost of Confirming the Supply. The Deployment Optimizer will apply Fairshare & Push/Pull Rules and looks at the Push and Pull Deployment Horizons which SNP Optimizer cannot. The Difference is also in Planning Time Range. You plan SNP Supply for mid to long term time range. The Deployment looks at Confirming the supply in the next few days from TODAY.
So in short first understand the Difference between a SNP Heuristic and Deployment Heuristic and apply the same principle to a cost based optimization. This should tell you the difference between the two.
Try read this ... First para on Deployment Optimizer ...

Read the First Paragragraph as well as 'Distribution based on Lowest Costs' section
Hope you find this answer usefull. Reward Points if it is.

Differences listed between ASCP Optimization and Inventory Optimization ?

Does anyone has a listed readymade document listing the differences between ASCP optimization and Inventory optimization modules.
thx for your help.
thx and rgds,
Pankaj

Hi,
As explained IO will recommend time phased Safety stocks it also provides various constraint option, we can make use of it as per our requirement.
In ASCP, following optimization are available:
1. Maximize inventory turns
2. Maximize plan profit
3. Maximize on-time delivery
If you want to use the same optmization in IO, we can fulfill the requirement by available IO constraints say max on-time delivery thro enforce service level constraint.
Hope it will help u.

Touch Optimizer and Mouse optimizer dont work since updates

I noticed during the last update that the mouse optimizer and touch optimizer programs dont work. When you go to open them it says the application failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect. Any ideas?

Fortunately, I had a ghosted image of my hd, so I just had to roll it back one week. It is now where it was, one week prior to these upgrades, and there is no sign of any sort of "optomizers".
I had the update program run again, and sure enough these same upgrades are showing up again, but upon reading them more carefully, they are for the 8 series, might be the reason it is creating a problem on the 5 series. Unfortunately, a complete restore is the only way to be rid of these "upgrades"
They really should only be sent down to series 8 machines, as I didn't read it too carefully, and installed it myself, next time I will be a little more careful...

Difference between SNP PDS and PPDS PDS

HI Experts.
Can you tell the major differences between SNP PDS and PPDS PDS.
Thanks
Raja kiran R

Hi Raja,
Unlike PPDS planning (time-continuous planning), the least time bucket in SNP planning (bucket oriented planning) is a day, not seconds. Which is why the duration of individual activities in SNP PDS are planned in days only. Scheduling in SNP is based on the fixed duration of an activity and not based on order quantity or capacity load. If a plan contains 3 activities each with fixed duration of 1 day, then the SNP planned order will have duration of 3 days.
On the other hand in PPDS, the duration of an acitivity is calculated based on the resource load that generates the order quanitity, which means larger the qty to be produced, the longer the duration of the activity.
Hope this helps!

Umesh

Difference between SNP Heuristics and PP/DS Heuristics

Dear Friends,
I have a basic question regarding Heuristics , is SNP Heuristics and PP/DS Heuristics are same
if not what is the key difference between them
i am very clear about PP/DS heuristics but not sure how heuristics is used for planning in SNP , i am able to read sap help , but could not able to get clear answer
Please help
Thanks & Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
Heuristics is the simple algorithm which can be attached to any working
module to perform our business requirements.
PPDS Heuristics is used to create procurement proposals for uncovered product requirements
and to carry out planning tasks for products or orders.
This will be used during Production planning run and in interactive planning.
whereas
SNP heuristic is used during capacity levelling and deployment. The SNP Heuristic performs
requirements planning through the entire supply chain network to determine how to satisfy
the customer and/or consumer demand.
SNP heuristic, based on a repair-based planning approach, efficiently plans complex distribution
networks in multi-site production environments.

Re: Full Optimize and Lite Optimize Disabled

Hi,
We have an BPC App.
What we need now is that for a particular group of users to have no access to run Full Optimize or Lite Optimize rights to trigger it.
Please can any one advice how to disable this functionality or un authorize this for particular set of users so that they cannot execute any optimization.
Regards.

Hi,
Follow below steps:
1. Create a Team and assign users those should have an access for Full and light optimization
2. Goto Manage data>Maintain data management>Manage Packages
    -->Select the team which you created in step 1
     -->Select add package
    --> Choosee process chain as /CPMB/LIGHT_OPTIMIZE
    --> Give package name and description
    --> Select Taks type as User Package
    -->Click Save
3. Create one more package for Full Optimization as expalined in step 2 under same team
Now users who are related to this new team can able to run both Full and light optimizations provided Execute task assigned under task profile.
By following above steps you can assign many package to team and can modify team access from Manage Team user package access if you need.
Hope it helps..

Switch between SNP-PPM and SNP-PDS

Hi,
In APO I have both SNP-PPM and SNP-PDS, but right now I am having some trouble with the bucket time from the PDS so I am trying to temporarly change my PDS to PPM.
My query is:
- Is there a way in APO to make the SNP-PPM the default production model over theSNP- PDS?
I was searching for some kind of documentation on this topic and I found that I should change the priority for the PDS throught the PDS_MAINT transaccion in ECC, is this the only way to do it?
Thank you in advance,
Fernando

Hi ,
SNP heuristics planning source determination gives first preference to Quota arrangement.
You may include PDS as a source of supply in the inbound quota arrangement of the product.
There is a BADI BAdI /SAPAPO/PWB_SOS to modify the content and the sequence of the sources of supply in the ranking list.
The normal ranking list for SNP source determonation is as below:
Quota arrangements
Procurement priority
Procurement costs
Procurement type
There are two other BADIs releveant as below:
u2022 /SAPAPO/CURTO_SNP ) Enhancements When Creating an SNP PDS (R/3) (Generation)
u2022 /SAPAPO/CULLRTOSNP ) Change SNP/CTM Production Data Structure Data (Generation)
Hope this gives some options.

Datta

Material Master: where to maintain "SNP Demand" and "Deployment Profile" ?

Hello experts,
the APO material master has on tab "SNP 2" the section "SNP Demand Profile" and "SNP Deployment Profile". For my understanding such profiles allow you to assign the same settings to a lot of products simply using such profile which contain predefined settings.
Does somebody know where / how I maintain (change, create, delete) such profiles. I was scanning master data and SNP section within customizing SPRO and the within APO application menu tree under SNP and master data ... but couldn't find it.
Regards
Thomas

Thomas
Use the following tcodes
/n/sapapo/snp101 - Demand prof
/n/sapapo/snp102 - Supply
/n/sapapo/snp111 - Deployment
And yes you are right , if you look in menu path or SPRO you cant find these . Not sure why.
Thanks

Target Days Supply in SNP Heuristics and Deployment

Dear Experts,
Does the Target Days supply only define the minimum and not the maximum stock levels?
Example: consider a Period P1
The target dayu2019s supply is 20 days, and the Days Supply in Period P1 is more than 20 (suppose 35)
The Total Demand in that week is not big enough to bring the Days supply < 20
Question:
Does the system still create a Distribution Reciept (Planned) in this case and keeps increasing the day's supply of dest location? Or does it create stock transfers only if Days Supply is threatening to fall below the Target Days Supply?
In other words:
Does Target Days Supply only come into picture when Days Supply < Target Days Supply, in which case the system adds the difference (Target Stock Level u2013 Current Stock Level) to total demand while creating stock transfers.
When Days Supply is >> Target Days Supply, does the SNP Heuristic still create a Stock Transfer even though there is enough stock to cater to the current total demand and not fall below Target Stock?
Hope you can help in understanding this concept.
Regards,
Rimjhim

Thanks for your reply.
Please correct if I have misunderstood:
While calculating the net requirement during SNP Heuristic run, the system will apply Target Stock Level into consideration and will only create a Pur Req if the stock is falling below the Target stock.
Thanks,
Rimjhim

Price differece between purchase req and PO for free text purchase

Hi there
Has anyone found a good solution for the following problem.
A free text purchase requisition item is created with a value = x. The buyer goes out to quote (not using SAP RFQ - manual) and comes back with a price change. The buyer creates the purchase order referencing the purchase requisition, but they need to change the value to x+10.
The client wants to stop the purchase order been created if the value is above a certain percentage. The standard settings in the system are for material values. Does anyone know how to extend this to a short text item on a purchase requistion?
Thanks
Roz

Hi,
This is not possible to achieve in SAP standard functionality.
You can do one thing, keep Price field for the PO Document type of Text Purchases as display, which will not allow user to change the price for Text POs.
Use Release Strategy for Purchase Requisitions and keep changeability for the Release indicator as "4" and % Changeability as 10%. And ask user ro change the price in ME52N only instead of changing it in PO. If it will increase more than 10% the PR Value then system will reset the release and this PR needs to be released again.
If it is not acceptable then you can try it with user exit "MM06E007" - Change document for requisitions upon conversion into PO

Does Deployment Optimizer need a separate server?

We just finished blue-print and came to a conclusion to use SNP Heuristics and Deployment Optimizer. Since we are not using SNP Optimizer, my question is that should we need a separate server?
I did not find any quicksizer document for Deployment Optimizer however, I could see for SNP Optimizer though.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
C.A.

Any Optimiser (SNP / Deployment / PPDS / TPVS / CTM) will need Optimiser Server connection as the Optimiser Routines are .exe files requiring a Windows-based hardware with sufficient Main Memory (RAM).
Deployment Optimiser will be part of SNP Optimiser Engine.

Difference between controlling budgetting and funds management

Hi All,
Can any one please explain me about the differece between controlling budgeting and funds management.
What are the additioanl features available in funds management when compared to budgetting in controllin
Thanks in Advance
Raka

Hi Raka,
FUNDS MANAGEMENT
The mySAP Public Sector solution plans and controls the flow
of revenues and expenditures, guides you through planning and
creating budgets, and uses active availability control to monitor
management appropriation. Funds management capabilities
simplify the design of budget plans using special planning techniques
and make it possible to differentiate provisional budget
plans. The solution supports centralized and decentralized
planning and budget execution of funds.
Controlling budgets is a headache for businesses of all sizes. Many smaller businesses start off
on the right foot by putting in place a good book-keeping system, but then fail to exercise
proper financial control and end up in trouble. The only way to make sure that you make a
profit is to control the budget efficiently. To do this, you need to estimate your sales income
reasonably accurately, estimate your costs precisely, and keep both under control. You also
need to charge the right price for your end product in your chosen market(s). It is important
systematically to collect all financial documents in a methodical way, and keep all your figures
up to date on a daily basis. This actionlist will look at some of the most common problems in
controlling a budget, and suggest ways to tackle them
