Prigramming Logic details for SAP APO Planning Models

Hi All,
I need to learn more about different model available in SAP APO - DP, SNP and their behaviour.
Request to please share any link or document associated with programming logic in different planning models available in APO.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Senthil,
Thanks dear for your response.
What I am looking in programming details of exisiting DP forecasting models like Trend Analysis, Linear Regression.
What I know about MLR is that system uses below equation
Yi = bo + b1X1 + b2X2... + bn Xn
where Yi = Sales History
bo = Mean
b2 = co-efficients
x2 = causal factor etc.
Do you have document which details out how the figures are computed using these planning models?
Once again thanks for your quick reply brother.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Solution Manager - Logical Component for SAP Netweaver EHP2

    Hello,
    I installed the newest SAP Netweaver Ehp2 (with usage type AS ABAP only) for a future integrating with BI_CONT (SAP BI requirement). So... what I want to know is... I want to do an update of support packages to the latest Stack (SPS) and in this product version (NW EHP2) the latest stack is stack 06 !! But I ´m facing with a problem which is, because I have to maintain this system in Solution Manager (for Maintenance Optimizer activity)...so what I want is configure this new system on Solution Manager Ehp1 (with SPS 23) but in tcode SMSY I didn´t found this Product in Logical Components for I can apply this system to my Solution... I only see SAP Netweaver with EHP1 and not with EHP2 which is the version that I want to apply this new system. (This is mandatory task, because without it, I will not be able to download the support packages for NW 7.0 EHP2)
    Tell me two things... first if this level version of Solution Manager that I have here (SPS 23) have this product in logical components, and two... if not it, is necessary to raise the level of Solution Manager support packages (to latest stack SPS 25) for I can see that logical component SAP Netweaver EHP2?!
    Thank you very much
    João Dimas - Portugal

    Hi João,
    You can verify if the EHP2 is available (if) in your system, this can be done once you are in SMSY -> Product Definitions -> SAP Netweaver where you should able to see the EHP2. If so, then it's a matter of marking the leading Product & Product Version under the Header Data ->Change Product Assignment where you can use the drop down arrow to select the Product and Product Version. If it's not available, then by checking the 'Free Product / Select Product Version' then use the drop down arrow to select the product & Product Version, once you selected that then click on copy and mark that as active and save.
    Then you need to create a new logical component in System Group & logical Component under SAP Netweaver, then assign the system to the logical component. Once this is done you can use the logical component in a solution and create a maintenance transaction.
    I hope this help you to proceed further, thanks.

    Hi
    Elgibility for Certification:
    You should either complete your training in any Authorized Training Center or Should have experience of more than 2 years(not sure if it is 2 or 3 now) in the said module.
    If you dont have any of the above, then certification wont happen in India.

  • Naming Standards for SAP's Component Model Objects....

    In using SAP's Component Model, Scenario 3, there's a great deal of confusion in trying to version tracks, sc's, dc's, etc.
    Since SAP does not currently have Best Practices for the use of the NWDI and the Component Model, can someone else provide me with some advice?
    Thank you

    Hi Peggy,
    to find out more about all the NWDI terms it is a good idea to first read the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/01/9c4940d1ba6913e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">architecture manual</a> about NWDI/JDI.

  • Crystal Reports transport files for SAP APO / SCM

    Hi there,
    Problem: we want to use Crystal Reports on top of SAP APO / SCM and have some difficulties getting the definitions of BW / OLAP servers right and don't know which transports to import on the SAP to report with Crystal.
    System is a SAP SCM system with APO module. There is a cube in this module (because there is some internal BW system) and I can see the cube in Crystal Reports. When I want to report from this cube I get an error:
    "/CRYSTAL/MDX_GET_STREAM_INFO" not found.
    This means some transport files were not imported and some functions are missing.
    The following transports are missing:
    ====quote from transports_EN.txt included in transports for Crystal Reports=====
    The following files must be used on an SAP BW system:
    (These files are Unicode enabled.)
    Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
    Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
    MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
    ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
    ===========================================================
    My SAP BASIS expert refuses to import these transports in SAP SCM, because he thinks it is not an SAP BW system as listed in the above transports_EN.txt file. Just trying is not an option because transports cannot be removed once imported...
    In my opinion these transports have to be imported to clearly access the cube and will work on SAP SCM even if it's not a 'dedicated' SAP BW environment. In other words, these transports should be imported and will work on SAP OLAP servers like SAP BW, SAP SCM, SAP SRM (APO) or SAP SEM.
    Does anyone of you have some more experience on reporting from SAP SCM / APO cubes and if I can import these transports without getting some nasty errors, because its not an SAP BW system?
    Kind regards!
    Edited by: J. van de Mheen on Mar 3, 2009 4:21 PM

    Thanks for your reply, but this is not helping me much.
    Let me explain more.
    In the transport_EN.txt file we see this:
    If your SAP system is running on a 6.20 *BASIS system* or later, you must use the files listed below:
    (These files are Unicode enabled.)
    * Open SQL Connectivity transport (K900574.r21 and R900574.r21)
    * Info Set Connectivity transport (K900575.r21 and R900575.r21)
    * Row-level Security Definition transport (K900576.r21 and R900576.r21)
    * Cluster Definition transport (K900585.r21 and R900585.r21)
    * Authentication Helpers transport (K900578.r21 and R900578.r21)
    The following files must be used on an *SAP BW system*:
    (These files are Unicode enabled.)
    * Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
    * Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
    * MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
    * ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
    So I have to import 5 transports in SAP BASIS system and 4 transports in SAP BW system to make full use of the integration kit.
    SAP SCM / APO is basically a BASIS system, so the BASIS expert says only those 5 transport have to be installed.
    But SAP SCM / APO is also having some reporting capabilities and stores data in OLAP cubes (Infocubes).
    In Crystal I can see these cubes when using SAP BW MDX connection.
    To make the error go away, I must have some function modules used in transport 'MDX Query Connectivity transport. But the BASIS expert doesn't want to import this transport, because it is listed as a transport for a SAP BW system and he says SAP SCM / APO is NOT a SAP BW system (it's a BASIS system).
    And now I have to get some proof that this transport has to be imported in the SAP SCM / APO BASIS system before he installs it...

  • DB6 - Supports the logical partitioning for SAP BW

    Hi All,
    Please can someone help me to give the information .
    We are using DB6 on top of that we have SAP BW 7.0. Is the logical partitioniong supported with this DataBase.
    Thanks
    kapse

    Hi  Kapse,
    By using partitioning you can split up the whole dataset for an InfoCube into several, smaller, physically independent and redundancy-free units. In SAP BW you can achieve the same as
    In the InfoCube maintenance choose Extras ® Partitioning, and specify the value range. Where necessary, limit the maximum number of partitions. Note: You can only change the value range when the InfoCube does not contain any data.

  • What is the future of SAP APO?

    Standard support for SAP APO which is a part of SAP SCM 7.0 will be stopped in 2025. After that, what will happen (apart from extended paid support) ? Which one of the following is correct?
    New version of SAP SCM Powered by SAP HANA will replace SAP SCM 7.0. So, APO will not change much, though it will have added capabilities because of new SAP HANA platform.
    Though SAP IBP is not a substitute SAP APO currently, it will have SAP APO capabilities as well in future and will eventually replace SAP APO.
    SAP IBP will replace both SAP APO and SAP HANA based APO.
    Even SAP didn’t plant that yet. It has not released a plan or road map yet. So, anything might happen.
    Does S4HANA have planning functions? If yes, where will it stand in SAP’s portfolio of planning products, in future?
    Kindly give links for more information along with your answers, if possible. Thanks.

    Ho Satheesh,
    Below details are based on notes which I had written in the past and it may not be accurate.
    As per my knowledge on SAP's new SCM Strategy, Integrated Business Planning solution comprises sales and operations Planning, Inventory Planning, Demand and Supply Planning. IBP(Integrated Business Planning solution) will not include GATP/PP-DS.  GATP will part of Logistics and order fulfillment and will be clubbed on ECC side.
    SAP IBP will come with the speed of the SAP HANA platform and with/without SAP Cloud option.  Logistics and order fulfillment (ECC) track will focus on solutions in the areas - customer service, distribution and fulfillment and logistic network. Focus is definitely on end-to-end and advance visibility, tight integration/consolidation, real time planning/execution and analytics etc and HANA will be on the spotlight.
    SAP definitely has a great vision and positive step forward for developing more integrated, technologically powerful and user-centric solution. Now they must execute on that vision to make it real, since they are many hurdles too - one of them current APO installed base.
    SAP APO may still be required to support some operational and optimization features and but others areas/features of APO are expected to merge completely with ERP or IBP side or may be something else. 
    Standard support for APO will stop in 2020.  however extended support will be available beyond 2020 for 3-5 years period.
    Hope this will help.
    Thank you

    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.
