Hi Poorna,
Please follow below steps to delete Product-Location combinations in APO:
1. In ECC, deactivate Integration model for Transaction data and master data of the Products and locations to be deleted from APO.
2. Check where used list from transaction WUF and delete dependent transaction data and Master data from APO. You may use /sapapo/rlcdelete and /sapapo/sdorder_del.
Also delete dependent Master data objects like CVC, PPM, Transportation lane, PDS etc. from APO
Ensure deletion of transaction data in all existing versions in the 000 Model.
3. Set the deletion flag for Product / Product-Location combination using transaction /sapapo/mat1
4. Once the transaction data & related master data is deleted and deletion flag is set, it is possible to delete the location-products by running the report /sapapo/delete_products
To delete Locations from APO:
Follow same steps as above. In cases of deletion of Locations, all products in that location should be deleted using the Product-Location deletion flag optionJust change the report in step 4. For locations, use report /sapapo/delete_locations
To answer your other question on change in location type, I think it is not possible to change once you CIF location master to APO.

Ravi

How to change process chain in SAP APO, in RSCP tcode.

HI SAP APO Experts
I am from SAP ABAP background, I need to change a 'AND' operator in process chain in RSCP tranaaction in SAP APO.
I dont have any idea how to change process chain.
Could you please help me how to change process chain in SAP APO in RSCP tcode.
Appreciate your help or comments.
Sandeep..

Hi Sandeep,
The t-code RSCP does not exist in SAP APO. The correct t-code is RSPC.
Step 1:- In RSPC t-code, select the process chain which you need to change.
Step 2:- Double click on it.
Step 3:- It will display the various programmes attached to the process chain. Go to change mode by clicking on the change indicator (Control + F9)
Step 4:- Select the programme area where you need to do the correction or change. Double click on it.
Step 5:- It will take you to the programme and its selection contents. Make the relevant changes. You can directly carry out the change in se38 also if there is variant kind of changes for that particular programme.
Step 6:- Once the changes are done, save the changes and press F3 button which will take you to the home page of the process chain
Step 7:- Save again so that the change in the programme alongwith the process chain will get saved.

SAP APO SNP planned order

Hi,
I am basically from PP background and just started working in APO SNP. after running SNP optimzer,not able to see the operation details in SNP planned order ( SNP planned order has only receipts, requirements ). could you please help me how to get operation details in SNP planned order.
Thanks
Krishna.

Hi,
SNP Planned Order:
1 . SNP Planned Orders wil give details about Order start date and finish date .
2. During SNP Planned Order creation a basic scheduling will happen.
PPDS Planned Order
1. PPDS Planned Orders will give details about when the actual production is start and finish.
2. During PPDS Planned creation the Machine time details defined in the routing routing or recepie will be take into account.
3. Leadtime scheduling will be carried out to calculate the exact production start date and finish date.

Re: Implementing Of SAP-APO-SNP

Dear All,
Is it possible to implement APO-SNP alone along with SAP ECC.
If yes,Can I be advice upon any particular aspect to keep in mind before advicing this furhter to my client.
Regards,
Vivek

Thanks for the information..
I have one more thing.
I am exploring the SNP because the client is looking to optimise their logistics cost. As I understand that In SNP the transportation lanes feature can cater to this need. My only point here is that I want to use APO for the Deployment side & not for the production side..That means I would be using the system MRP result for carrying out the production execution & will not be using SNP here but for mpving the stocks between the network I am intending to use the SNP Deployment feature.
Please advice me whether this is a right approach from cost implications perspective.
Regards,
Vivek

How to define a client in sap?

hi
experts can u help me for this

SAP Client
Before doing a client copy, you need to prepare the following :-
1. Find the source client space with the client size custom program which can be implemented using the rel. note:
    Find the space of the client - '0118823'. This will give you the size of the source client.
2. If your are on Unix OS, adjust all the file systems according to PRD file system to fit the PRD client in DEV
    client based on space requirements also.
3. You can do the client copy by remote or export/import client.
    Remote method is not preferred if you are doing a large client copy.
    Do a client export/import.
4. To speed up the export/import, use R3trans export/import for the clustered tables.
    Please find the rel. notes related to performance improvements for cluster tables in OSS.
5. Do import and post processing.
    Note: Export may take 10 to 20 hr. for 50gb of data
    import may take 4 days and post import will take 8 to 15 hr. for 50gb of data. And it all depends on
    your system performance.
Please refer OSS rel. notes for the few RZ10 parameters which needs to be set for cluster tables to speed up the process.
Note :-
If it is a fresh installation, do this --
1. SCC4 --> Create client no. and fill other details.
2. Logon to the newly created client with SAP* and PASS as password.
3. SCCL --> choose any profile (preferably SAP_ALL), source client 000 and target client <as created just now>.
4. Preferably do a test run initially to check if it can go well.
5. As a care check space in databases.

SAP - APO - SNP

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me what setting we need to make in APO for SNP. How to set up CIF interface and other related activities.
Am new to the APO and SNP stuff. Your guidance will help me go through this setup
Arun

During ECC 6.0 Partner Summit in Bangalore recently question was raised about Blueprint document. The answer provided by SAP was to use Solution Manager for Blueprinting. The blueprint should be the definition of Business Blueprint and Configuration in Solution Manager. SAP does not suggest creating a separate blueprint document for implementation any more unlike what was provided through QAdB earlier.
So there is no separate document unless a consulting company creates one for its client.
However standard configuration documents are available as Building Block library under help.sap.com >> SAP Best Practices >> Cross-Industry Packages >> Supply Chain Management >> V1.50 >> Technical Information >> Building Block library.
That should help in determining the configurations required once you have defined the associated business processes for customer requirements.

SAP APO SNP - Restricting Selections

Hello All,
Is there any way by which I can restrict the users to access shuffler (create & save selection) for one planning book and allow access of shuffler in other planning book, although both the planning books belong to same planning area.
When I try to restrict planner to access shuffler I only find function C_SELCTION, but using this the user is restricted on Planning Area level. So the planner is restricted for both planning books of the planning area.
Please let me know if the above case is possible to implement.
Regards,
Piyush Nandan.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
I checked the auth obj C_APO_SEL, but it is not helpful. It doesn't resrtict the access to shuffler.
I want to restrict shuffler access in one planning book and provide access in other planning book, both planning books are of same planning area.
Is there any BADI by which we can remove the shuffler icon from the planning book.
For example there are two planning books PB1 & PB2 belonging to same planning area PA1. Now can I remove shuffler Icon from PB1 and keep shuffler icon in PB2.
Regards,
Piyush Nandan.

Selection of transport service provider in SAP APO

Hi
For each transportation lane there will be 4 transport service providers in SAP APO SNP,customer want high transportation cost service provider to be selected for planning.kindly advise on this

Hi Prakash,
I allready have read the how-to guide. And this works apart.
But this does not work together with the possibility to select several
values in several dropdown boxes as I tried to explain. I, for one,
do not see how to integrate this solution.

Use of ECC planningtime fence when planning with APO SNP

I am using SAP ECC for execution, and SAP APO SNP heuristics for planning.
So, for a product planned in APO, the MRP type in ECC is X0.
So, as there is no MRP planning in ECC for such a product, what is the use of the ECC planning time fence? I think it becomes redundant in ECC - yes? In fact, I do not see it in the stock reqs list (MD04).
So, in ECC, all that 'planners' can do is to manually reschedule planned/production orders - yes?
Any shortage alerts will only be visible in APO - yes?
Thanks for any advice on this...

Hi
Please find below the answers from my side.
Two questions in my mind...
So, if MRP type = X0 in ECC, the planning time fence is not seen in MD04.
First of all, we should not have any planning time fence in ECC, as it is not adding any value for products with MRP type X0. Yes in MD04 we can not see it.
2. How can ECC users easily distinguish between planned orders which are in the 'short term' from those which are beyond the SNP production horizon?
I think they have to use APO alerts. I think that should be right approach as APO is leading planning tool.
Thanks

How to "roll back" SAP APO PPDS planning batch run from infeasible batch mid-point to before start of planning batch run?

Hi Experts,
We are investigating if any SAP customer that implemented SAP APO PPDS has ever attempted to establish a "roll back" of the SAP APO PPDS created supply plan to a defined point before the start of the SAP APO PPDS planning batch run?
We have a situation where - in the middle of the planning batch run - randomly or intermittent the batch run hangs or runs a step for multiple hours that normally, at most days, takes only a few minutes to run. In a situation like this, the supply plan is not in a state where customer sales orders can be promised (using GATP CTP) or planned orders can be converted to production orders and published to SAP ECC, etc since the plan may be capacity infeasible or simply partial or incomplete.   To not hold the business operations hostage to wait resuming operations (promise customer sales orders, convert and release and execute orders to transfer, deliver, produce, or purchase) for hours or days, we need to find a way back to the original plan right before the nightly PPDS batch planning job started.
We already close all the queues from ECC to APO, thus, no CIF traffic from ECC to APO. We also shut down the customer sales order feed into ECC as normal process for duration of the APO PPDS batch planning run. Thus, functionally, we are theoretically in a situation to simply go back to a PPDS and active planning version save prior to the run. Yet, many more technical and BASIS-related questions remain on how to roll back to a state where the plan was not compromised.
This inquiry is to learn if any other SAP customer has ever established a process to roll back SAP APO PPDS to a previous point in time supply plan to resume operations? Whatever the reasons are, be it after a failed batch run, or any time during the normal interactive plan day.
Additional information about our design and plan:
1. We have a two year horizon supply plan in PPDS
2. We only publish to ECC 14 days worth of planned orders, stock transfer requirements, and purchase requirements
3. We convert planned orders to production orders and release production orders in ECC 2 days before first operation starts
4. We convert PR's to PO's and STR's to STO's in ECC 2 days before execution (ship or submit to vendor)
Any indication where a SAP customer has developed and uses a process to roll back an SAP APO PPDS- planned supply plan to an earlier point in time or version would be helpful to know.
Regards,
Manimaran M.

Hi Manimaran,
Saving in Simulation means in DS board when you click on save it provides you option to save sim version or adopt to active version. If you copy to inactive version you cannot copy back trasaction data specially PPDs orders back to active version again while if you save in simulation you can adope it to active version at any point of time. YOu can adopt simulation version changes to active version using T-code /SAPAPO/CDPSS0
Copying to active version means you copy data from version 000 to some other active version while here results are kept simulation,
