Need blogs for SCM/APO upgrade

We plan to do a few SCM/APO upgrade.
The SMP guide and notes are good. However if you can direct me to some blogs on real-world SCM/APO upgrade,
that would be very helpful.
Thanks a lot!

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,

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.

Opinions Needed : Wattage for Power Supple Upgrade

Hey there BBY Forum users!
I'm looking to chunk some change out for a PSU upgrade and wanted some outside opinions as to how high of wattage I should really look for(I have my own ideas).
Here's all the hardware currently in the system:
Antec 1200 case: 6x120mm LED case fans, 1x200mm LED exhaust fan
Hard Drives : 2x320GB 7200RPM, 2x1TB 7200RPM(All SATA)
CPU : Intel Core i7-930 2.8GHz
Graphics : PNY GeForce GTS 470
Cooling : Corsair H50 Watercooler
Opticals : LG BluRay ROM, Sony DVD RW(both SATA)
RAM : 6GB(3x2GB) DDR3 1333
Extras : Couple external HDD's, cam, printer, etc, and a cold cathode tube.
I currently have a 700 watt RocketFish, which, nothing against them, just isn't high end enough for my taste.
I've been leaning towards a 900W or a 1kW PSU, but need some outside advice on brand/type.
Thanks!
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

I see one problem with 'future proofing' as you call it. By the time you need 1000 watts, the power supply could be two or three years old. At that time, the components used to build a power supply will have improved two fold. They will be more efficient and most likely cheaper. Any benefit realized now, will be lost by then. And who knows, in two years, system boards maybe running on a 3 volt and 5 volt bus. 12 volt is only needed in drives and soon they may all be running on 5 volts.

Ideas for SCM/APO in iPhone/Blackberry/Android

Hi everybody!
I would like to know your personal needs currently that could be solved by an mobile application.
This application would be connected to a R/3 or APO backend system.
What scenarios you can think of that could be very helpful to you?
Examples:
- See the list of Sales Orders for a product.
- Open Pur. Order n. X to get vendor information.
- Check Stock information for a product.
What can you think of?
Points to be awarded to everybody that answers!
Thank you!
Will

Hi Will,
Would (lets) assume iPhone folks need some info only on how good a business is APO making.. So my take would be more on
-Some measure of expected lost sales. may be some macro in DP/SNP. some limited dimensions of customers - products - time to be fixed. This would be approximate
-Some measure of Average cost of transportation/overruns. Assuming business was expecting deployment and load building to save on average shipping costs. This can again be with some macro.. but seems quite complicated to me. As actual shipments and freight costs would need to obtained from ECC.
-Some compsite mesaure of service level by some dimesions of customer product time.
-Demand Plan over runs.. excess inventory reports.. over decided base.
etc.. I think this poll would make best sense if you ask some SCM heads of some leading firms across industry verticals. Clearly totally different things are important to different firms. Coca firms are most interested in retail metics, steel makers would be more interested in how well PPDS is loading he resources and such.

Upgrading Unity 4.0.5 to version 8 and replacing the server. Need advice for most efficient upgrade path.

Hello,
I need to upgrade Unity 4.0.5 without failover to Unity 8, and we are replacing the server as well.
What would be the most efficient upgrade path for this?
Thanks!!

Brian,
The most efficient path is to use COBRAS. I have a number of posts explaining the overall process. At the highest-level, this allows you to build out the new Unity 8x environment, get it integrated with AD/Exchange, and then build out configurations that don't migrate over (there are a few which are highlighted in the COBRAS help). From there, you migrate data over from the 4x system. There may or may not be a few steps along the way but they are outlined in numerous posts I've contributed to regarding COBRAS and also in the COBRAS Help which is located at www.ciscounitytools.com.

Need blogs for transport management at SOLMAN4.0SP11 and above

There are many blogs in this group but none of them is about transport management.
Please help provide some. Thanks a lot!
Best!

Hi,
Good Question...
Usually if the systems are connect to each other, the objects move from one system to other when the transports are released in background, That to depends on whether they have to be imported into the target system immediately or every 1hr(time frame) is defined by the basis team as per the requirement.
But if the systems are not connected, then after you release the transport request, the basis team will export the log/data files from the source system corresponding to the transport and import back to the target system. This is manual process and is similar to the automated process listed above.
Basis team uses from transaction to export and import these files..and i am not aware of them. Please get in touch with your basis team for the same.
Hope this helps
Regards
Shiva

I need advice for a CPU upgrade...please and thank you!!!

Hi, I own a lenovo3000 n100 076804U, with a T2060. I am thinking of upgrading to windows 7 and going 64 bit. Can anyone tell me what processor I might jump up to that will work in this system? I know very little about laptops but I build my own desktops. This is for travel and I don't use it much, so buying a new laptop isn't really what I want to do. But I would like all of my systems to run the same OS. Thanks for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the same model, and just put in a T5600 which
I purchased on eBay. Works Great, and windows 7
is a joy to use compared to vista.
The only driver I had to install was for the card reader.

Need Suggestions for 2GB Ram Upgrade

-Eric

I strongly recommend OWC. Not only do they have excellent prices, but their parts are high quality and all guaranteed to work with mac products. Also, they have excellent videos to install any component.
I've ordered from them dozens of times in the past and they are simply the best in all aspects of the sale:

SCM , APO and Livecache administration

Hi SAP Guru's
Can any one guide me what is role and responsibilities of SCM and APO and Live cache administration as part of Basis.
I will be great help if any one can guide me in SCM and APO and LIVE cache administration.
Waiting for Reply
Farooqui

Hi Farooqui
Since this Forum handling more application related topic, it is better to post your question in different Forum "MaxDB/liveCache ".
Above MaxDB/liveCache is handling more basis and liveCache related topic.
As a general information, SAP provides following documens that describe task and check point related to SCM system and liveCache. So I recommend you to check following 3 documents.
URL : http://service.sap.com/solutionmanagerbp
Number
44            System Monitoring for SAP APO (3.x) / mySAP SCM (4.x/5.0)
34            Monitoring and Administration for SCM / APO
42            Checklist for Recovery of SAP APO liveCache >= 7.4
Also there are some documents that describe liveCache behavior, so for better understanding,
I also recommend you to check following 2 documents. (The information is bit old. but it might be helpful to understand liveCache).

SCM / APO forum on upgrade

Hi All,
Just to moot a proposal for new forum on SCM or APO upgrade
There are forums for ECC & CRM upgrades
For APO, we have few threads & a good wiki on newer versions
Are there no upgrades happening
Moderators & Guru's please share & enlighten
Acceval team

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

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

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

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
