  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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).

  • Client concept for SAP SCM APO and SAP TM

    Hello,
    We are installing SAP SCM APO 5.1 (SNP, gATP, DP) and SAP TM 7.0 (ramp up). Both connect via CIF  to ECC 6.0 SP3. As far as my knowledge goes for CIF, both master data and transactional data is exchanged via CIF.
    In ECC we have a three client concept:
    100 customizing only
    200 customizing + master data (golden client)
    300 customizing + master data + transaction data
    Can we use a similar model for TM and SCM APO as well? Should we then only connect ECC-300 to TM-300 and ECC300 to SCM-300 via CIF?
    I have also heard that also some ECC customizing is transferred via CIF to SCM/TM. Is that true and does that change this model?
    Regards,
    Rob Veenman
    SAP Basis.

    Rob,
    As a general rule of thumb, for each ECC client you will probably want an SCM client.  From your landscape description, it is not clear to me in which clients you perform the everyday functions of development/test/production, but I guess you have already worked that out.  Without knowing exactly how you manage your environment, I will say that it is probably a good idea to have active CIF connections between each of the three pairs of clients.  Once you have set up a single connection between your first pair (ECC/SCM), you will find that setting up the second and third is pretty trivial. 
    Yes, quite a bit of ATP configuration can be CIFd across.  Typically, you do this one time, and then lock the transfer of config out (there is a config setting in SCM to stop further transfer of config).  From that point forward, any config that must be parallelled in both systems is usually done manually in both systems.  Notable exceptions are Factory Calendars, units of measure, and Fiscal Periods, which can be pulled across from ECC to SCM any time you want via standard program.

  • To load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.

    Experts,
         Please let me know whether it is possible to load data from a cube in SCM(APO) system to a cube in BI system.If so explain the steps to perform.
    Thanks,
    Meera

    Hi,
    Think in this way,
    To load the data fro any source we need datasource Ok. You can genare Export data source for Cube in APO,  then use that datasource for BW extraction, try like this. I think it will work, in my case I'm directly loading data from APO to BW using the DataSource sthat are genaraed on Planning Area.
    Why you need to take data from APO cube?. Is there any condition for that?. If it is not mandatory, you can use the dame datasource and load the data to BW, if they have any conditions while loading the data from APO to APO cube, they you try check wherther it is possible in BW or not. If possible then you use DataSource and do the same calculation in BW directly.
    Thanks

  • APO SNP macro working at a product level (across locations)

    I am using APO V5.1.
    I have a macro requirement where I want to perform calculations at a product level (ie for a given product, look across all relevant locations).
    I can do this interactively by selecting a product.
    But in a background job I can only select the 9AMALO level of aggregation.
    Does anyone know how I could get round this?...

    Hi,
    Could you please give some more details of your exact requirement?
    Since you mentioned about 9AMALO, I would assume that you want something to be done in SNP, but it's not clear what you could do in interactive SNP which you are not able to achieve in background job.
    If something is possible in foreground, most likely it would be available in background as well, and we can give you the solution after you give some more details.
    Thanks - Pawan

  • [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.

      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

    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.

    Hi experts,
    I have several reporting requirements using BW and APO - SNP.
    I´d like to know what´s the best way to acomplish this requirements. Is it best to store the data first on infocubes on APO and then extract these data to BW, or use the standard extractors, or use ABAP routines and BAPI?
    Any help is welcome.
