APO SNP optimzer & PPDS optimizer

Dear Experts,
When i am doing my capacity leving using optimzer method in SNP
system propose optmizer server is not installed in SNP
its seems no optimzer server for SNP and PPDS was not installed , i try to run test connection to optimzer server
it fails
Just wonder as functional consultant what need to tell to the basis team
can any one guide me on this technical stuff
Thanks & Regards
Raj

Hi Raj Kumar,
1) Once you show them the error, they fully understand
what is the action to be done for that error
2) You can also tell them to check the RFC connections
3) Tell them to check the Optimiser installation is proper or not like
4) Ask them to use transactions /sapapo/opt12, opt03 if required
This will suffice.

SNP/DP/PPDS/GATP/CIF

Hi Experts,
As i am new to APO, i would like to know what is SNP, DP, PPDS, GATP AND CIF and what is the link between all these. I worked in some concepts of PPDS and CIF. But not aware of SNP and DP. And also apart from these submoduls in APO , are there any other modules which comes under APO?

Hi
APO Demand Planning is a set of functionalities around Demand Management, Statistical Forecasting, Promotion and Life-cycle Planning processes. It is an integral part of any organizations Sales & Operations Planning Process.
Demand Planning can primarily be divided in two areas - Data Mart and Demand Management Functionalities. The Data Mart portion of APO DP is basically the SAP BW component with all BW related transactions and objects available.
Supply Network Planning is a set of functionalities around Distribution Requirement Planning, Deployment, Demand and Supply Matching and Optimization.
Along with Demand Planning it is an integral part of any organizations Sales & Operations Planning Process.
APO Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling is a set of functionalities around Inhouse Production Planning, External Procurement Planning, Resource Scheduling and Sequence Optimization.
PPDS is primarily divided in two areas - Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling. This component has the highest amount of integration between APO and the OLTP (R/3 or ERP) system for real-time transaction data transfer back and forth.
CIF is the standard interface between ERP (R/3 or ECC) and APO used to transfer master and transaction data. While Master Data transfer is unidirectional, transaction data is bi-directional.
Global Available-to-Promise is a set of functions around Order Promising and Fulfillment checking across the whole supply chain. Some of the important functions are Rules-based Availability Check, Product and Location Substitution and Capable-to-Promise. Capable-to-Promise function is where production orders get created in the event of shortage during a Sales Order ATP check.
Multi-level ATP is an advanced method of ATP Check for confirming customer request or Sales Order by checking for on-time component availability.
Product Allocation check is possible in APO using Demand Planning functionality to ease the management of Allocation Quantity.

CIF PDS for SNP and PPDS

Dear Experts,
I am using SNP and PPDS
do i need to have sales bom for SNP PDS is it mandatory ,
or just normal production bom is enough for having both snp and ppds Product data structure
Thanks & Regards
Raj

Dear Satya,
Thanks for your reply
I know PV is needed for SNP PDS , is the PV which is used for SNP PDS is same for PDS PP/DS, or we need to use and special key during CIF ing to APO from ECC 6

Integration methodologies of DP-SNP, DP-PPDS, DP-GATP, DP-BI and DP-ECC

Hi All,
Could u pls help me out in the below questions...
1 Integration methodologies of DP-SNP, DP-PPDS, DP-GATP, DP-BI and DP-ECC
2 what is role of CIF in DP?
Thanks in advance.

hi
There is no seperate integration methodologies between the apo modules, interfaces and background jobs are planying big roll to transfer master data, transaction data and planning data.
CIF is interface between ECC and APO.

Fetch SNP and PPDS orders

hi,
I am new to APO. How to get PPDS and SNP planned orders from livecache.
Regards
Dhanu

1)     I am able to get all SNP and PPDS order using BAPI called BAPI_PPDSSRVAPS_GET_IO_NODES from Live cache. This BAPI fetching order id as key field.
2)     I need to fetch the data from DMCP table using this order id but there is no link with this order id with DMCP table.
3)     There is a field called GUID in DMCP table. I used one FM to convert order ids to GUIDs to get the data from DMCP table. All order ids got converted into GUID.
4)     Till here everything is good.
5)     But when I am trying to pull the data from DMCP table based on GUID, it is pulling only SNP orders not PP/DS orders.
6)     I have tried so many ways but I am getting SNP orders only.
7) I need SNP and PPDS orders
Can you help me on this?

SNP and PPDs horizons

Hi,
If I have SNP horizon of 0 days and PPDs horizon of 0 days. Then does the system plan twice and I see double the quantities because both SNP and PPDS are planning the same time? I mean does it create both SNP and PPDS planned orders doubling the planned qty.?
Thanks.
Edited by: Visu Venkat on Jul 30, 2008 3:14 PM

Typically if both these horizons are zero in the Location Product, the system is supposed to check the PPDS horizon kept in /n/sapapo/mvm transaction. Usually its a best practice to have a non-zero value in the version level. under the situation where even PPDS horizon at version level is 0, I would expect PPDS orders not be created at all by any systemic process. (different PPDS heuristics work differently though) However it should be possible to create PPDS orders manually outside of the PPDS horizon. Usually SNP orders are deleted and PPDS orders created in its place by the PPDS solver as soon as those orders are inside the PPDS horizon. I would be surprised by what you are observing though.

Difference between SNP and PPDS.

Hi all,
i want to know the functional diff betwn Snp and PPDS. .
i mean what activities come under Snp, after what activities it is under PPDS. . .
Any info on the same will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Prasad.

Hi Prasad,
SNP basically does rough cut capacity planning on a constrained or unconstraint situation whereas PPDS does time continous finite capacity based on constraint or unconstaint situation.
SNP & PPDS works on horizons. There are scenarios were SNP horizon can overlap with PPDS horizon.
SNP uses SNP PPM as master data whereas PPDS PPM as master data. The output are SNP orders and PPDS orders.
The minimum day for SNP planning is 1 day whereas PPDS can go upto even 1 sec(ie microscopic planning)
Starting from a demand plan, Supply Network Planning determines a permissible short- to medium-term plan for fulfilling the estimated sales volumes. This plan covers both the quantities that must be transported between two locations (for example, distribution center to customer or production plant to distribution center), and the quantities to be produced and procured. When making a recommendation, Supply Network Planning compares all logistical activities to the available capacity
We use the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) component
a) To create procurement proposals for in-house production or external procurement to cover product requirements
b) To optimize and plan the resource schedule and the order dates/times in detail

SNP and PPDS Horizon

Hi All,
Can anyone please let mw know what exactly is the difference between SNP and PPDS Horizon ??
How is it identified. .
What are the applications of using these horizons . .
Thanks in Advance,
Prasad.

SNP Horizon: Time segment, during which SAP APO Supply Network Planning (SNP) does not plan production. This means that SNP does not create any planned orders in it but shifts production to the first day after the end of the production horizon.
PPDS Horizon: Time segment in which Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) can automatically create, change, or delete receipts. The duration of the horizon begins on the current date and continues for this number of calendar days into the future.

Master data related fields for DP, SNP and PPDS needed in Material Master

Hi Gurus,
Can any one please suggest or guide me what are the fields need to be done in Material master in ECC for SAP APO DP, SNP (heuristic with capacity leveling)& PPDS(Heuritic with optimizer).
Please it will be really great help.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
For DP, many of the fields under MRP3, forecasting tab
views will be utilised more in material master of R/3.
For SNP, MRP 1, 2,4 and basic data views will be mostly
useful
For PPDS, Fields under Bom, routing, receipe, production
versions will be used along with few fields in material
master

SNP to PPDS conversion log not displaying all errors

Hi Experts,
We use a batch job to convert SNP orders to PPDS order.
Post successful job completion, we checked in receipts view (/sapapo/rrp4) and found that there were some SNP orders still lying within PPDS horizon (these orders were not converted to PPDS orders)
But these erroneous orders were not displayed in logs (/sapapo/rrplog1).
Is there any configuration/setting that is restricting the display of these orders ?
Thanks
Shweta

Hi,
The issue is with regards to unconverted orders not being displayed in the logs.

SNP to PPDS order conversion

Hi,
I am trying to do small testing over PP run in SAP APO.
I have created everything manually in SAP APO(Product,location,No source of supply at Plant)
When running SNP at plant getting planned order without source of supply.Now i am trying to convert the same order into PPDS order using program(indicator is set).
Getting the below error:
"In-house production 188401198 is not valid for the conversion"
Any suggestion if this conversion is posible?
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
Yes you can create the order without source of supply by doing setting in Model/Planning Version Management /SAPAPO/MVM but you cant use that for conversion.
Go to SPRO---Supply Chain Planning----Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS)---Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) here you will get the Heuristic Conversion SNP->PP/DS in that it is define Use SNP source of supply.

SNP and PPDS planning horizons

Hai,
        I am reading through SNP and PP/DS planning horizons. I understand that SNP doesnot plan anything within SNP production horizon whereas PP/DS plans only within the PP/DS horizon.
Now, I get confused when trying to understand the following sentences:
1. If production horizon of SNP is smaller than the PP/DS horizon, the planning horizons of SNP and PP/DS overlap with each other. In this horizon, SNP determines the receipts with most cost-effective sources of supply and lot sizes and PP/DS plans the receipts in more detail.
2. If requirements within the SNP production horizon cannot be covered by PP/DS, then SNP plans the receipt outside the SNP production horizon(this corresponds to the logic in the PP/DS planning time fence in short term planning).
3. If the PP/DS horizon in the product master is set to be greater than SNP production horizon, this gives rise to an overlapping area in both SNP and PP/DS receipts are created.
Can anyone please help me undestand the above? An example or somedocumentation reference is appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Visu,
Good question. You missed Planning Time Fence in the equation.
|--||--
>
1.       PTF             SNP            PPDS
You execute PPDS Heuristic (Product Heuristic) then requirements upto PPDS horizon will be covered by receipt elements (beyond Planning Time Fence). If you run SNP Heuristic then receipt elements will be created from SNP Horizon out in future deleting the receipt elements created by the previous PPDS run. But note that while PPDS planning is down to the second level SNP planning is minimum at a day level. If you have weekly buckets then all requirements for one week will be clubbed and single receipt element will get created. However you can consider SNP orders as fixed during PPDS Net Requirement Calculation through appropriate development.
|--||--
>
       PTF              PPDS           SNP
2. This is also not clear to me as I cannot build the scenario as described. The above diagram is the closest I could come up with. But in this case if you run SNP Heuristic and there are unmet requirements (sitting between PPDS and SNP horizon) then the receipt for that will be created only at the start of the SNP Horizon.
3. This is correct but already explained in 1.
Hope this clarifies or at least does not add to the confusion. BTW if you are interested then please read OSS Note 481906 - SNP - PP/DS integration (documentation).
Thanks,
Somnath

Key Differnence between CTM in SNP and PPDS

Dear Experts,
Can any one tell me what are the key difference between SNP CTM and PPDS CTM
Thanks & Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
You can use CTM both for master data of type PP/DS, and
for master data of type SNP.
Because CTM planning works on an order basis, you can
determine and trace the relevant receipts and supplies for each
demand in the entire supply chain, after the CTM planning run.
PPDS in general will be used for short term planning wherein
CTM can be on mid to long term planning.
Both belongs to SDM category of SCM which uses order series.
In terms of master data, the plan explosion will decide on usage of
plan for PPDS. For resources, you can use time continuouse for
PPDS relevant and bucket for SNP oriented
