EANCOM Message for APO planning module

Hi ,
Currently we are working on Integration of APO - Planning module with our Business Partner . We have SAP PI in the landscape
APO Planning Messages have to be delivered to the external Partner through SAP PI as EANCOM message .
If any one has tried this scenario already please let me know which EANCOM message is used in this scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
Kavitha

In simple terms APO is mainly used for forecasting. The forecasting is done based on the past sales by the org. This sales from R3 or any other source s/m is fed into APO. In calculating the forecast,org factors such as intrumental or org's factors which contribute to expenditure are added to the APO. With both of these information...APO generates forecast for future which can be for weeks or months or years. This forecast data is fed into BW for comparison with actuals when teh appropriate time comes...meaning when the future date comes...the forecast for that date is compared with that date's sales. The area where we have both sales and factors i beleive is called the Planning area...
Hope i explained to u what i understood about APO.
Assign point if useful

ABAP for APO Module

HI All,
I'm just wondering how the ABAP work in APO module. Will it be same as if all other modules of SAP like SD, MM, FI etc or Its different from regular ABAP, for example HR-ABAP. I know HR abap is different from Normal ABAP, as we use more Macros, FMs, Infotpes(I worked on HR-ABAP & Normal) instead of select statements.
If anybody here in this ABAP development forum had worked on ABAP for APO modules, can please through some light on this.
Thanks in Advance.

APO is one of the component of SAP so it uses same ABAP programming..There is no major differences in terms of coding.

Long term planning in ECC for materials planned in SAP APO

Hi SAP PP and APO Experts,
I would like to know whether it is possible to plan a material in SAP ECC with Long Term Planning to create Simulative Planned Orders in ECC, when the MRP Type for the material is set to X0 (Planning in SAP APO).
Warm regards,
Prem

Hi Dhaivakumar,
Appreciate your prompt response.
My business is MTS. I have made all settings for LTP planning for the material. (M|RP Type is set to X0-Planning in APO). When I execute the transaction MS02, I get the error message "Material 5200000013 J310 is not planned automatically. Message no. 61008". The details of the error message is:
The material 5200000013 in plant J310 or in MRP area is not included in automatic MRP because
either the MRP data for plant J310 or MRP area has not been created
or an MRP type has been entered for the material in plant J310 or MRP area that does not allow automatic MRP.
Warm regards,
Prem

Business Process: Final Demand Plan Key Figure in the past for APO DP

Hello APO process experts,
I have a BPX question for APO DP process owners, consultants or gurus:
1.- Have you ever seen in any SAP APO customer, that in their APO DP planning books, they chose or designed to update the Final Demand Plan key Figure in the past closed historical buckets with the Actual Sales?
Meaning that that in the Past closed historical Buckets, Actual Sales and Final Demand Plan, look exactily the same.
Meaning that they create a dynamic Final Demand Plan key figure so to speak, yet they did not choose to create a key figure that also keeps the Final Demand Plan as originally entered.
2.- Would you think that doing the above, without keeping any keyfigure in the planning book that actually shows what the Final Demand Plan was in the Past, is a good practice?
The Demand Planner could still retreive the Final Demand Plan from BI reports, yet, dynamically they could never really see it in the planning book.
3.- Do you think the above dynamic key figure would bias the Demand Planner's behaviour to manipulate the future open Final Demand Plan buckets to enter volumes in order sum to a monthly total, independently of what were the over and underachievements in the past (since they are not really visible to him) ?
I would really like your feedback,
thanks in advance!
JD Loera

Hello Thanks for your feedback.
I agree with your point, and I hope that i still get more feedback from other Business Process Experts.
I am trying to build a case for my client, to challenge the decision of their initial design as this practice is going to hurt the Demand Management process, if what they intend to achieve is a true "unconstrained demand plan"
Much appreciated

Quota arrangement in R/3 for APO generated planned order materials?

Quota arrangement for the planned order materials generated from APO and when
it is at the inbound side of R/3 while in CIF i.e.
u2022 Once the Planned order is created in APO and when it is at the inbound side of R/3 while in CIF u2013 the system will first check in the table(EQUK) against the material and plant whether there is any valid u201CQuota arrangement numberu201D(EQUK-QUNUM) .
u2022 Then from the table (EQUIP) against the u201CQuota arrangement numberu201D the system needs to calculate the percentage quota(from QUOTE field) of the material concerned against each production version.
u2022 Finally the Planned order of the material needs to be converted into more than one Planned orders as per the production versions and in the ratio as mentioned in the quota arrangement.
Actually Functionality exists today in R/3 whereby MRP will generate more than 1 planned order if production version quota arrangements exist. For example if via MEQ1 a quota arrangement exists to split requirements 60-40 between production version 1 and production version 2 then MRP will generate 2 planned orders using the 60-40 split.
Does this still occur if APO generates the order materials and CIFs it to R/3?
*I mean I had a requirement where APO generated planned orders to be split automatically and the correct PVs(Production version EQUP-VERID) to be assigned if quotas(EQUP-QUOTE) exist in R/3 side??*
please help me asap this will b really appreciated and high points will be given....

What is the best practice for APO - Demand planning implementation

Hi,
M client wants to implement demand planning.
Cient has come up with one scenario like a New Customer is created in ECC, and if I use BI and then APO flow for Demand planning, user will have to wait for another day. (AS BI is always having one day delay).
For this scenarios user is insisting on ECC and APO-DP interface.
Will anybody suggest what should be the best practice for Demand planning.
ECC -> Standalone BI -> Planning area (Planning is done in APO) -> Stand alone BI
Or ECC -> APO-DP (Planning is done in APO) -> Standalone BI system
I hope I am able to explain my scenario.
Regards,
Saurabh

Any suggestions !!

Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting

Hi,
I would like to know whether there are any Best practices for loading apo planning book data to cube for reporting.
I have seen 2 types of Design:
1) The Planning Book Extractor data is Loaded first to the APO BW system within a Cube, and then get transferred to the Actual BW system. Reports are run from the Actual BW system cube.
2) The Planning Book Extractor data is loaded directly to a cube within the Actual BW system.
We do these data loads during evening hours once in a day.
Rgds
Gk

Hi GK,
What I have normally seen is:
1) Data would be extracted from APO Planning Area to APO Cube (FOR BACKUP purpose). Weekly or monthly, depending on how much data change you expect, or how critical it is for business. Backups are mostly monthly for DP.
2) Data extracted from APO planning area directly to DSO of staging layer in BW, and then to BW cubes, for reporting.
For DP monthly, SNP daily
You can also use the option 1 that you mentioned below. In this case, the APO cube is the backup cube, while the BW cube is the one that you could use for reporting, and this BW cube gets data from APO cube.
Benefit in this case is that we have to extract data from Planning Area only once. So, planning area is available for jobs/users for more time. However, backup and reporting extraction are getting mixed in this case, so issues in the flow could impact both the backup and the reporting. We have used this scenario recently, and yet to see the full impact.

Function module to create messages for Purchase order

Hi All,
I am writing a BDC and recording steps to create Messages for a Purchase order(ME22N).
For an existing PO, go to Messages and create a message with output type for EDI. Already there are existing Output types for Print and Fax,
How do I default my cursor at the 3rd record if Print, and Fax are already there, and when I run this BDC for several PO's How do I know how many messages are there and where to place cursor to create message for EDI.
Is there any Function module or Bapi available wherein I can directly give the PO number and create the message.
Please suggest
Thanks-

I have a list of PO's in the internal table, I need to put a loop and for each PO, I need to create a message with output type for EDI. as I am not sure if there are already messages available for Print, Fax, and Email. I have an issue placing the cursor on the Messages window.
So i thought if there is any function module to create message without going to message window, I can avoid those complications.
How to do this. any suggestions?
Thanks-
