Sizing of different components in SAP

Question

How can we measure the average and peak throughput of different elements in SAP say CO-PA-BIL, CO-PA-FI  for sizingI

Answer 1

Krishna,
we hesitate to give you estimates on database and hardware sizing because, as Gabi states, sizing for EIS will vary from customer to customer based on the characteristics of the supply chain being modeled.  Inputs for the sizing are the number of stocking points, number of supply paths, Bill of Material details (if applicable), the number of future periods to model, the number of historical periods of forecast and sales provided, lead times across the supply chain model and the number of models you will keep.
To make some very GENERAL comments, the more material sharing that occurs in your network the more memory needed to optimize (solve for Safety Stock) the model.  Two customers can have the same number of stocking points and supply paths but if one has a distribution-only supply chain while the other has a model with a very detailed Bill of Material the distribution-only model will require much less memory to optimize.
Any further sizing information should go through Consulting as Gabi has indicated.  Sizing an EIS implementation is somewhat unique and therefore general, cookie-cutter recommendations are not useful.
Hopefully that is helpful to you.
