Want to learn SAP APO

HI Experts,
I have 4+ years of experience in SAP BI, now I am planning to learn SAP APO. Please give me sugessions is it is useful to future carrier and what are the best materials or documents to learn.
Regards,
SVS

Hello
As you have good exposure in BI , DP would be a good area to explore. Let me tell you , BPC is the area that might help you more in the long run.
In DP what is going to happen is you may have to read lot of functional processes and get yourself acquainted with mapping them to the system.
If you are bent on APO then spend sometime with DP. Before that first read Forecasting and if you google this word you can see lots of good sites. Please let me know if I can be of any help.

SAP APO and WM

Hello All,
Is it possible to put some warehouse related controls and limitations in SAP APO (SCM) without having EWM? For example, a certain warehouse can only process 300 orders and if anyone tries to place order beyond 300 then it automatically pushes the CGID to next day?
Second example can be on availability of truck? If the Truck leaves Warehouse only twice a day for a certain customer, then APO (SCM) automatically place the order on those two days?
Thanks,
Ali

You might be able to get GATP to meet at least some of your requirements with some creative thinking and enhancements. Standard GATP does not consider warehouse (field is not transferred from ECC to GATP during the ATP check), so you would add that to the field catalog through an enhancement (relatively simple). You could then use Product allocation functionality to limit the warehouse to 300 orders per day. Standard product allocation functionality is based on order quantities, not number of orders, so you would need an enhancement to modify this behaviour (sounds simple, but you would have to explore).
I don't understand what you mean by 'CGID', but you could get GATP to commit material availability dates based on warehouse limitations (push out material availability date based on next available free 'slot' in the warehouse). As long as you run the delivery due list with a short (say 1 day) window, this might work.
Configurable Process Scheduling (CPS) functionality within GATP may also work for your requirement of 'truck leaving warehouse only twice a day to a certain customer' - using customer-specific condition tables for transportation activity calendar determination.
One thing to remember is that GATP works only on commit dates of Orders (Sales Orders/ Stock Transport Orders), it doesnt directly influence actual pick/ pack/ ship activities in the warehouse (it does affect warehouse operations indirectly .)

Whr should maintained a business system group in SAP APO

hi gurus,
where should i maintain business system group in SAP APO
can u explain me, what is the process, how it will work, why need BSG in APO
prasad

Hi,
We maintain Business System Group in APO IMG.
IMG >> SCM Basis >>Integration >> Basic Settings for Creating the System Landscape >> Maintai n Business System Group
In this IMG activity, we determine the assignment to a business system group of this system and the ERP systems that are to be connected. By doing this, you create areas with the same naming conventions. These guarantee that the same names are used for master data and also their synchronization in distributed system landscapes.
In addition to the ERP systems, this system too must be assigned to a business system group (BSG) as an independent logical system.
Proedure :
u2022     Choose New Entries.
u2022     On the New Entries: Overview screen, specify the following information for the business system group:
             o     An alphanumerical key (maximum of 10 characters).
             o     A description of your choice
u2022     Save your entries.
Example :
An SCM System is to be connected with the two ERP systems A and B in which two different materials (for example a hammer and a screw), have the same material number (100). The two materials are to be represented as two different products in the SCM system.
Assign The two ERP systems to different BSGs. Assign the SCM system to one of the two BSGs.
u2022     ERP system A (material number 100 = hammer) -> BSG A
u2022     ERP system A (material number 100 = screw) -> BSG B
u2022     SCM system -> BSG A
Hope this gives you insight.

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.

What is the Role of R/3 BASIS administrator in SAP-APO

Hi can any one tell me, what is the role of a BASIS admin. in SAP-APO. Please list the responsibilities.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
bompally.

Thank you very much manish,
Actually I am a BASIS admin. I want to explore the BASIS -APO administration side. What do you suggest on this.
Please provide me some more information on the following also.
CIF Performance Questions.
What is CIF?
1) Check and ensure that same qRFC versions and supplements are used in both R/3 and APO Side. Make sure that latest available qRFC Version and supplement is being used.
2) Review the Integration models used currently and identify if they can be reorganized to reduce the duplication?
3)Review the background processes for Activation and generation of the integration models.
4)Identify if there are any bottlenecks in the CIF queues.
5)Review the process of transferring the Product/Material master changes? Are the change pointers being used or BTE's?
6)Review and check the schedule of the following background jobs: (Which transaction we use to do these functions?)
Deleting old integration models?
Deleting old application logs.
Processing of change pointers.
Deletion of old change pointers.
Live Cache consistency Check jobs.
Planning area consistency checks.
Reorganize OMS Data (/SAPAPO/OM_REORG_DAILY and /SAPAPO/OM_DELETE_OLD_SIMSESS)
7)Monitor the QRFC Tables-ARFCSSTATE, ARFCSDATA, ARFCRSTATE,
TRFCQDATA, TRFCQIN, TRFCQOUT and TRFCQSTATE.
8)Monitor the Optimization server performance.
Thanks and Regards,
Pradeep

SAP APO with SAP Retail

Hi,
Can SAP APO be implemented with SAP ECC Retail, if yes..can article master data be CIFed to APO or do we need to set up material master data.
Thanks
Sharad

Hi Sharad,
I have attached a link in which you can refer the document via the menupath
SAP solutions > SAP for Retail > Documentation for SAP Retail
http://help.sap.com/
"SAP for Retail Master Guide" wherein it details the integrated environment with SAP ECC Retail with SCM.(Page 48 of 79) has the integration chart in it.
Regarding master data ciffing, if you have already established all master data in SAP R/3 system, then you can use CIF for transferring master data.

R. Senthil Mareeswaran.

SAP APO or SAP-PP?

I am in a decision making process of my industry scenario to map in SAP
My scenario is as below
My sales regional heads input their requirement for 1 months in system as below
Input is
     region(in SAP it is route destination)
     Qty
     Material number
     Selling price
     Period
Once they enter the data system should collect all the data from each regional and run a statistical calculation taken fast history and generate a unconstrained sales plan/regional for 18 months.
It will be passed to a optimizer where in we will put the following constraints
     Capacity of production line with respect to that material grade
     Selling price (from input data)
     Minimum allocation qty per region/Grade
     Customer grading ABC, A is good C is worst
     Inventory available in all region and production plant for that grade
     Net back that material can fetch
     One of the important sub assembly/intermediate material availability for future months
     Grade change over loss in USD.
With the above constraint system should generate a region plan giving details of which material (grade wise) and qty
Second output is the production plan telling which grade how much to produce and when
Is it possible to do the above in normal SAP PP or we need to go for SAP SCM?

Dear Ratan,
thanks for the reply.
My question is the sceanrio given above is it possible to map in SAP APO or SAP PP...I tried...but only problem is the seling price and the capacity optimization.
Forecast, I could do it using Std SAP forcast methods...But during optimization i failing to understand how to do it... I prepared a Z program where in user will tick the check box on what basis with priority he wants the optimization...using LP. It is giving faairly okay results...but fully okay. Takes more than 2 hrs to compute the results which is not at all accptable...maximum 1/2 hr is okay and in foreground it is not working at all.

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,

Long term planning in ECC for materials planned in SAP APO

Hi SAP PP and APO Experts,
I would like to know whether it is possible to plan a material in SAP ECC with Long Term Planning to create Simulative Planned Orders in ECC, when the MRP Type for the material is set to X0 (Planning in SAP APO).
Warm regards,
Prem

Hi Dhaivakumar,
Appreciate your prompt response.
My business is MTS. I have made all settings for LTP planning for the material. (M|RP Type is set to X0-Planning in APO). When I execute the transaction MS02, I get the error message "Material 5200000013 J310 is not planned automatically. Message no. 61008". The details of the error message is:
The material 5200000013 in plant J310 or in MRP area is not included in automatic MRP because
either the MRP data for plant J310 or MRP area has not been created
or an MRP type has been entered for the material in plant J310 or MRP area that does not allow automatic MRP.
Warm regards,
Prem
