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.

[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.

SAP SCM-APO

Experts,
I don't know, Is it the right place to post, but I am confident about only your suggestions.
I need your valuable suggestion to learn and built my career in SCM APO. I have been into technologies ABAP, SAP Console, RFID, WM, and have knowledge about SCM EWM. I am very much interested to learn SAP APO,but I don't have knowledge about this module how the future will be.
Your valuable suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
Sridhar

Hi Sridhar,
You sure have very good experience in SAP but please let me know if you have any domain experience as well in any Industry. Because WM or EWM is not going to be of any help to you in understanding the business requirements. More over the Modules that are primarily used by the clients are Demand Planning, Supply Network Planning, Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling,
Global Availability to Promise, Transport Planning and Vehicle Scheduling.These are the key modules for which there is a reuiqrement for Consultants.
So I would suggest that instead you should try for BI which has very high requirements in the Market as of now and with your Technical background picking up BI should not be an issue.
This is my personal opinion... Choice is yours
Thanks,
Harsh

SCM-APO, SAP APO on SAP ERP

hi does anyone have detailed information how this works eg
what happens to the livecache in the traditional SCM APO system
and overvie presentation will be good
thanks
Andre Cronje

Hi Andre,
There can be a number of transitional steps to move from SCM with liveCache to ERP/SCM on HANA. The bottom line is that liveCache becomes part of the HANA database so there is no need for a separate liveCache server. SCM on HANA is generally available now. See SAP Note 1825703. I believe the following steps are representative. You'll have to consult with your SAP representative for the exact details.
Steps -> SCM w/ LC -> SCM w/ LC and HANA -> SCM w/ HANA -> SCM on ERP w/ HANA
You don't have to go through each step. I'm not sure when the consolidated ERP/SCM on HANA will be GA.
Best Regards,
Mike

CRM - ECC -- SCM-APO

Hi Gurus,
I'm setting the gATP in SCM-APO. Everything is working fine in the ECC environment, i create my documents, they go to SCM-APO to do the ATP check (product allocation) and return with the confirmed quantity.
Now, we are testing the sales order capture from CRM, we tried to do some concurrent orders with the same data. The oder is created in CRM but it is not created in ECC. If I verify the order in CRM I can see the followin message:
"An error has occured in the system CTE-200I while copying the document"
"APO: Plng object ZAH_COMERCIAL, 010005005005010, 02, 40 0, 012, 0000 and basic method QUOTA have been lock ed (check not possible)"
Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Best Regards and thanks in advanced!
-Italo

Hello Hugo,
We are facing the same issue when order replicates from CRM to R/3. R/3 generates same error which throws back to order to CRM.
Please let us know if its resolved and what was done to solve it.

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

SCM, SRM, SCM APO - Master thesis topic

Dear Friends,
I am Sarav, Master student doing International Food Business and Consumer Studies from University of Kassel, Germany. In addition I finished my certification in C_TERP10_65: "SAP Certified Associate Business Foundation & Integration with SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5".
Currently I am looking for a master thesis topic in areas like SCM, SRM, SCM APO since my area of specialisation is supply chain management. I read quite number of research articles but I am struggling to find a starting point for my thesis .
I am looking forward for your valuable comments and ideas from your experiences to find a starting point for my thesis.
Thanking you
With Regards
Saravanan.R

Saravanan,
Hi! Here's a few thoughts...
1) Take a good look at the SAP SCM site area on SAP.com - http://www.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/scm/index.epx (look at the customer cases - http://www.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/scm/customers/index.epx)
2) Look at HANA - http://www.sap.com/hana/index.epx (think about the amount of data / speed)
3) Look at the SCN Business Analytics Community - http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc
Note: You should think about Mobility Business Analytics - http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/large/business-intelligence/mobile/sap-businessobjects-mobile/index.epx
If I was doing my thesis I would ask... where will the most value...most jobs be both now....and in 3 - 5 years? I would pick at least 1 company to study so that the thesis would apply to a real company or industry...not just something that's in a lab or classroom... make it apply to the real world.
Find a problem that's worth fixing. Find something that helps the product or solution...yes...ultimately helps the customer.
Be focused. Don't try to address to many things. Your starting with a very big topics. Find a compelling issue with your key supporting points.
Write on something your passionate about. There are many, many approaches...I trust you'll find a good one!
Good luck!

SAP APO with SAP BW

Hi All,
We need to integrate SAP APO with SAP BW. Does any one know what an APO is? If there is a document which provides an overview of what an APO is,
(or) bulk document sap apo with sap bi ppt.
Thanks in advance.
Gopi. G.

hi,
SAP APO is for Demand Planning and is a component of mySAP SCM. It enables dynamic supply chain management and which in turn includes applications for detailed planning, optimization and scheduling, allowing the supply chain to be accurately and globally monitored even beyond enterprise boundaries.
Check the link for info on APO
http://www.sap-img.com/sap-apo.htm
The following link gives complete information about APO,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/92/dd013872af2946e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
See this thread
Re: SAP APO
Additional inputs :
APO refers Advanced planned and optimizer
APO is similar to BW in the sense it is also a OLAP processor intended for reporting needs

Multiple Clients in SCM/APO 51.

Hello,
1.Is it possible to create Golden master client & Testing client in a single SAP SCM/APO5.1 instance and work simultaneously with the BI and APO commands (e.g. RSA1) in both the clients?
2.Can we have two live cache servers on a single physical hardware?
3.Can a single live cache server can be connected to two different SAP instance DEV and QAS?
Regards

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.

What r the prerequisites for implementation scm-apo in ECC 6.

HI,
what r the prerequisites for implementation scm-apo in ECC 6.
Thanks,
Ashutosh

Hi Ashutosh,
you can find all informations about the implementation (installation /upgrade) of SCM on the SAP help portal.
In http://help.sap.com choose in "SAP Business Suite" the "SAP Supply Chain Management".
In Knowledge Center for SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) choose the required SCM release e.g. SAP SCM 5.0 and open it.
Here under "Installation, Upgrade, Master and Operation Guides" you can find all necessary information about the installation, technical upgrade and operation of SAP SCM.
The Master Guide for SAP SCM provides important information about the installation of the relevant scenarios and the components. It links to all other documents that are required for the implementation of a specific scenario, for example to the Upgrade Master Guide, which is the important overview guide for upgrading scenarios .
I hope I could help you with these informations.
Regards,
Tibor
