GR processing time difference for PO/STO scheduling in ECC & APO

Hi All,
We are facing issue of PO scheduling in ECC & APO----
-- In ECC, system calculates requirement date with planned delivery time +GR processing time but during addition of GR processing time it excludes weekends( Saturday & Sunday) However in APO, system calculates requirement date by addition of GR processing time in the planned delivery time but it includes weekends & eventually requirement date mismatch.
-- Secondly we are using handling resource for scheduling purpose in APO but we found start time is different for differnent handling resources e.g. 14.00,16.00 ,from where the system picks up the timings
-- In APO product master ,GR processing time is 1 day but during PO scheduling, system picks 3 days & calculats requirement date ,its strange for me
Is there any way out for above mentioned issues
Thanks in advance for your help
Kind regards
Milind

Hi,
Please check the factory calendars and time stream ids. The working schedule of APO should match with ECC.
The location master also needs to be checked for what time stream is attached there and what is the working schedule.
Thanks,

Scheduling difference between ECC & APO

We have difference in scheduling result between ECC & APO, in case of parallel sequence operations.Detail information are attached in document.Please revert back how to resolve this issue.
Any suggestion/update from experts
Thanks in Advance,
Lalit

Hi Lalit,
I think that is a misunderstood on how should works together APO and ECC systems.
The SKUs planned by APO should not be rescheduled by ECC system again. There is a logic to respect. The MRP Type X0 for the SKUs planned on APO side is exactly to prevent the rescheduling on ECC side.
The changed or recreated pl.orders (for X0) by ECC system will not be always updated on APO side. In this case SAP will not assume the responsibility of the data consistency between the two systems.
Thanks Marius
Below you have some explanation:
Date changes in SAP R/3 cause SAP APO to carry out a new scheduling run of its own.
SAP recommends that you change dates in SAP APO.
Symptom
In your business process, you expect that APO transfers the dates that were determined in the R/3 System for manufacturing orders using scheduling. However, APO does not transfer these dates. This is because:
If a manufacturing order is integrated between R/3 and APO, APO is
the date/time-dominant system.
The reverse scenario, that the R/3 System sets dates and APO accepts
these dates, is not provided for in the standard system.
Other terms
Date transfer, schedule
variance, operation, phase, production order, process order
Solution
In the standard system, you
cannot guarantee that APO also takes on the dates determined in the R/3 System

Deletion of production order in ECC / APO

Hi,
It is not possible to set DLFL (Deletion flag) when the order is in
CRTD status also when the order is DLV or TECO with no actual cost or open order value .
It is happening in both the scenarios when
1. Plan order is created in APO and then converted to prod order
2. Plan order and prod order both are created in ECC , but both are transferred to APO
What shall be the process for deleting the prod order in ECC.
With regards,
Mrinal

Hi Mrinal,
1) You can delete the production order in created status in APO using transaction /n/sapapo/rlcdel, select the required categories for deletion.
Once the order gets deleted in APO, it will get deleted automatically from ECC also. If not the transaction /sapapo/ccr to be used which will remove it upon iteration.
2) Alternatively, if you carry out techo in ECC for a production order which is released, once after delting in ECC, queues needs to be cleared and then subsequently /sapapo/ccr to be run for production orders, so that it will get cleared from APO also upon iteration.
Please try these and let me know whether your query is resolved.

ECC - APO Integration (Client Copy)

Hello,
What if the source ECC client of APO has a new client(copy) and APO should connect to this new client. Should all master data be re-integrated from the new client? I would need your advise on this since when i was maintaining the publication settings for data to be transferred from APO for the new client, I noticed it warned that the plant i used was from another client.
Thanks.

Hi,
In client copies, you copy the "wrong" logical systems too. So you need to review the connectivity settings (logical system, business system group, assigning the right logical system to new client etc) thoroughly.
You once again need to generate and activate the integration models as the original models are referring to the old APO logical system. Please check all background job variants where the field logical system is involved e.g. CCR, RIMODAC2
Also ensure the consistency of live cache to the APO DB (GUID's). Check the mapping tables of master data.

ECC APO integration using PI / BW

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to connect ECC to SCM systems using PI / BW as middle ware for Transaction data. The master data will be done through CIF.
Idea is to improve better management of data transfer process (especially sales orders, stocks etc)
Has any one done or attempted this? Your suggestions are welcome.
Dilip

Hello Dilip,
Yes you can transfer the transactional data using BW.
Follow below steps to achieve the same.
1) Create a datasource which extracts data from ECC to BW.
2) Load data from PSA to a Infocube.
3) Load data from Infocube to planning area using /SAPAPO/RTSCOPY.
Problems which we faced during this process is when there is no CVC's exists for the particular characteristics in the infocube then the data won't be loaded from infocube to planning area.
You can find those missing CVC's in the log which will be created when you run /SAPAPO/RTSCOPY.

PDS & PPM transfer ECC -- APO

Hello Experts,
when I try to create IM in ECC to transfer PDS or PPM for a specific product, no single PDS or PPM can be selected. I already transfered the products and plants in a separate IM easiyl but traying to transfer PDS for these products, no single record is slected.
Thank you for your help &
best regards
Aban

Hi Aparna,
thank you for your advice. I put the material in filter criteria and the outcome is: zero PDS was selction in CFM1 (the same for PPM even for different validity dates). Are there any preliminary steps needed before creating IM? These products are still active in the system and currently produced.

Transaction data from ECC to APO DP

Dear All,
Can you tell me if i can directly load transaction data directly from ECC to APO BW Infocube.
For example i want to load say sales orders from ECC.
Can i directly load from ECC --> APO BW Infocube --> DP Keyfigures.
Or any staging is required inbetween ECC and APO BW
Thanks
Santhana.

Hi Santhana,
If you want to add data of ECC to APO BW & Then in to DP, then follow the following Steps.
1. Create Generic Data Source in ECC for thet Sales Order table.
2. Replicate that data Source in to APO BW with Source System.
3. Create whole data flow process by using created Data Source.
    Data Flow Process: 1. Info Package
                                  2. Info Source
                                  3. Info Cube
                                  4. Transformation between DS & IS, Then IS & IC
                                  5. Data Transfer Process.
4. Load data from ECC to APO BW
5. Use transaction /n/sapapo/tscube, for copy Info Cube data to Planning Area.
Hope this will help you.

REGARDING ECC STOCK TO BE CONSIDER IN APO

Dear Friends,
I have a query on below issue:
We have implemented the APO in our client & planning happening through APO only. If we have stock at QUALITY INSPECTION STOCK in ECC, APO should consider this stock also while doing the planning.
Lets say example: I have stock of 50 in unrestricted & 100 in Quality inspection stock in ECC. While planning APO should consider the stock as 150 and should calculate the proposal quantity for remaining amount.
Plz suggest how can i achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,
Arvind S

Hi Aravind,
I would agree with Debashis on this, you can control this from demand tab in product master in APO.
What you need to do is to CIF storage location stock to APO and have this "Stock in quality inspection" ticked, which is part of standard setting.
As per my knowledge this is applicable for CTM and PPDS only, not sure about Optimizer and Heuristics.
For Optimizer and Heuristics to consider QI stock, i think below thread can help you there.

APO vendor location number is not same as ECC vendor number.

Hi Friends,
I have an issue with CIFing Vendors from ECC to APO. ECC team has created Vendors ie Vendor numbers and Description.
For Example I have vendor 10000101 in ECC and when I CIF it to APO using integration model I have no issues. The issue is when I check the CIFed vendor location exist in APO. Using 10000101 and location type 1011 if i try to search for vendor it say vendor does not exist. When I add two zeroes ie 0010000101 now I will be able to view the vendor details. My query is I want to see the same vendor number ie ECC 10000101 (Vendor) in APO. Is there any setting that Iu2019m missing? I really appreciate if someone come up with answer.
Regards
KRN

Hi Senthil ,
Thank you for your reply. The steps you have mentioned here is for replicating the numbering format for materials. ECC<=>APO. I have customized material numbering format using the lexicographical under SPRO>APO>Product>Output format of product number. This activity I have already done.
My question was regarding the vendor number. When I CIF the vendor from ECC to APO. In ECC it does not have leading zeroes but when I see in APO it has leading zeroes. This is where I was wondering and want to know is there any customizing activity to replicate the same ECC vendor number in APO.
Also I need to know if I have the leading zeroes vendor number in APO will it affect my SNP planning. Mean to say ECC without leading zeores and APO with leading zeroes.

Difference in Material availability date for ECC ATP check & for APO ATP check in the same order

Hi Gurus,
I have a question: on what basis material availability date is calculated in forward scheduling?
Eg:
For a customer GR hours are maintained in unloading point calendar in customer master and Customers are not CIF'ed across to APO.
GR hours are maintained for weekdays from 8:00 to 12:00 & 1:00 to 6:00.
In a sales order with two line items with Requested date today & plenty of stock on hand for two products( ECC & APO) where line 10 (product 1) triggers ECC ATP check & line 20 (product 2) triggers APO ATP check at same location (loc1).
RDD is today, material availability date for ECC ATP check (line 10) is today (working as expected) but where as the material availability date for APO ATP check (line 20)is pushed to next day by which for the same customer there are different delivery dates. And two delivery notes will be created & truck will be on road at different times for the same customer which is unacceptable.
What am I missing here to get the material availability date as today for forward scheduling? Please guide me on this.
Thanks,
Nihar

In the first row, the difference in RDD in UTC and UTC+6 is 6 hours. However, in the last three rows I can see the difference between UTC time and UTC+6 time is 7 hours. Would you know the reason to this? Also, in the first four rows, CET time = 7:24 which should had been 19:24. Please correct me if I am missing something here.

What is best practice to do APO Demand planning

Hi,
My client wants to implement demand planning.
Client has come up with one scenario like a New Customer is created in ECC, and if I use BI and then APO flow ( ECC -> BI -> APO-BI) 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,
ST

Hi Sujoy,
Thanks for reply.
(1) I have to get Sales Order data from ECC into BI standalone system Cube.
(2) Then from this cube same data is sent to SCM APO - BI Cube.
(3) Planning will be done in SCM APO.
(4) Planned data is again sent to BI standalone system, Using datamart on Planned area.
(5) In BI we will have reporting on cube, which has ECC sales order data and APO Planned data.
But in this case, there is always delay between data loads (firstly ECC -> BI, then BI -> APO, then APO -> BI).
In this case, if a new customer is created, Client wants to see demand planning in latest data.
How do we do APO DP generally?
Do we follow the route from BI, or directly between ECC and APO..
Hope I am able to explain the scenario..
