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.

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,

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

SAP APO with SAP R/3 integration

Hi All,
From a technical perspective, what is it that a developer should know to work on SAP APO with SAP R/3 integration. Kindly elaborate on this if you can...
Thanks in advance.
Marvin
Edited by: Marvin Jones on Feb 3, 2008 5:09 AM

Standard APO and R/3 CIF integration does not need additional ABAP coding.
However if you are going to enhance any master or transaction data while transfer via CIF using BADI or User-exits then good amount of ABAP expertise is required.
Per my understanding USer-exits are classical ABAP while BADI are Object-oriented.
While I cannot comment if there will be "immense" amount of coding to be done but CIF user exits remain a critical component of any implementation. Its not the "amount" but "complexity" - need to understand the source system and target system behaiour and then accordingly modify, that matters.
Thumbrule - if its master data modification then its simple. If its transaction data modification then its can become quite complex.
Hope this helps.

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.

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.

Integration of SAP GUI with SAP Web UI in 7.0?

Hi Everybody ,
Wanted to ask how do we integrate SAP GUI with SAP Web UI in 7.0?Are these two different logical systems or Web UI is embedded in GUI itself? Will be waiting for the answer very soon.
Thanks
Puneet

Hi,
in CRM70 the WebUI is the one and only userinterface for the endusers.
The SAP GUI in CRM is only for administrators.
You could integrate SAP GUI transactions from different systems (ERP, CRM, RM, etc.) into Webclient UI.
In standard SAP this is done using the transaction launcher (ITS) - but there are also some concepts from consulting companies to integrate the SAP GUI without ITS.
Good luck.
Kind regards
Manfred

DBACOCKPIT Connection for SAP systems with SAP Router

Hello!
We are trying to integrate all the remote SAP systems and their databases (primarily Oracle) into DBACOCKPIT of SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
Our SAP Solution Manager is running on Windows with Oracle 11.2.0.2
The most SAP systems (Unix and Windows) can only be reached from SAP Solution Manger over the SAP Router connection.
It means no direct ping from Solution Manager server to the Server of managed system will work.
Question
Is it possible to integrate such SAP systems (with SAP Router) into DBACOCKPIT of Solution Manager?
According to sap note 1265134 only the DBCON-connection will be required.
By doing so (tcode SOLMAN_SETUP), we get TNS errors.
Do we miss some additional steps (adapting tnsnames.ora of SOLMAN with the entry of managed system), etc.?
Thank you!
regards

Systems can be reached via SM59, then what's the problem ?
In fact, this 'is' the standard procedure. This is as normal as you could have Solution manager in same 'network' with rest of the remote systems.
Answer should be yes, you can manage several remote sap systems from sap solution manager dbacockpit.

How to Integrate SAP EP with SAP PI to send data for creating reports in BW

Hi Gurus
I am struck with an Object/Interafce Creation in my project. My requirement is to Integrated SAP Enterprise Portal and SAP BW using SAP Pi. I am working on SAP PI7.1. The SAP EP sits on the Oracle Database and it will send some data required for generating some reports in BW.
My question is how to integrate the above systems by which adapters and which will be the best approach. If we use PI, the major advantage is we can Monitor the flow of the messages .
Cant the BW System directly talk with the SAP EP System. If there is an approach, can we monitor the message flow with out PI involvement.
All the above mentoined systems(SAPEP,SAPPI,SAPBW,SAPSRM,SAPABAP) are in the client landscape only.
Please suggest me the approach.
Thanking you

Hi rajshekar
Thanx for the reply
In the current project we are having an Interafce which is a B pass sceanrio from MDM to BI; MDM is dat , pi is picking the data by Sender File CC and Posting the Data to BW by using Receiver File CC. this does not involve any developemnt of ESR Objects.
My current requirement also seems to be the same Pick thhe date from SP Portal and give it to BW for generaiting reports.
Can i use the SOAP at sender side and File at receiver side with out the involvement of ESR Objects.
Does the By Pass aprroach work for this aprticular interafce.
How can we integrate SAP EP with BW withour Pi?
please share any blogs or forums
please help
Thank you

Activate CCMS for SAP SRM with SAP DB

Hi!
I would like to monitor SAP SRM 5.0 (OS: Windows, DB: SAP DB, Version 7.6.04.11) from SAP Solution Manager.
I have the following problems:
a) it is not posible to execute the tocde DB50 on SAP SRM.
b) it is not possible to see the DB monitor of SAP SRM in SAP Solution
(SAP CCMS Monitor Templates --> Database --> empty)
c)The database is integrated in tcode DB59.
Unfortunately when I execute the connection test I get:
General Connection Data

What I have done:
I have upgraded the server as well the client software to the version 7.6.04.11
Can someone help me with suggestion?
Could it be the issue with independent path on windows or do I miss some programs?
In tcode DB59 in Connection test the following values could not be determined:
DBMRFC Release (empty)
DBMCLI Release (empty)

Carrier guide SAP XI with SAP MM

Hi Experts,
I am presently working on SAP XI. I have good idea on java and abap. I would like to learn SAP MM functional module. What would be the carrier with both SAP XI and SAP MM together? I may go for EP, but I dont like to go for programming side. More over I prefer stable job. Please help me which one is best.
Regards,
Deviprasad.

Hi Prasad,
As for my knowledge...
functional will be good when u go up the ladder...even it is same in oracle apps and other ERP technologies...
and coming to XI AND EP...these keep on changing and u should update urself accordingly.......
but XI with MM .....its totally different right....
one is technical and the other is functional.......
as for me...i can say u one thing...
if u are at budding stage go for XI or else MM would be better....
if u still prefer a stable job MM would be better....because functional would be every where and as XI is a tool..it can change...moreover u dont have coding in MM and in XI u have it to some extent...
Hope u got my point...
Cheers,
Raghavesh

RFC connection between two SAP systems (with SAP router)

Hi!
I would like to set up a RFC-connection from SAP Solution Manager to other SAP system.
The network connection between the servers is VPN.
How can I set up this RFC-connection, if my connection between two SAP systems looks as follows,
(I use the following SAP routers)?
my server --> customer
my server --> internal SAP Router server xy (10.101....) --> SAP Router customer 2 (10.1....) --> SAP System customer (134....)
Back-way
SAP Systeme customer --> SAP Router customer (134.1....) --> internal SAP router (212.6....) --> my server
How can I set up this RFC-connection, if my connection between two SAP systems looks as follows,
(I use the following SAP routers)?
something like:
/H/10.101..../S/sapdp99/H/10.1.4..../S/sapdp99/H/134...
Thank you very much!

Thom

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
