Why we go for DP & SNP

I m new to this field my question is why we go for DP and SNP when there is MRP in R/3. Can any one explain me & solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi
it might not do justice to summarize the differences but i will try. Its a good idea to check the overview at www.sap.com/scm and the Wiki for SCM that has been created here (check the sticky thread on top)
DP and SNP are part of Advanced Planning and Optimization(APO) is part of SAP SCM and as the name indicates an advanced level of planning and falls under the category of an Advanced Planning System
R3 is more of execution and though MRP exists in R3 you can find the tools in APO are much more advanced level and can do a multitude more of tasks than in MRP and since R3 and APO can be integrated it makes sense to planning in APO and execution in R3.
in addition to the results of what you would have got fromMRP you can get much much more from APO
In addition to having various algorithms, heuristics and optimization tools it also is interactive and user friendly.
The architecture which is different from R3 also helps in the planning processes being executed more efficiently

    Why no support for iTunes running on Tiger?
    WE NEED THIS Apple!

    iTunes is completely supported on Mac OS X 10.4. I used, and supported, iTunes on 10.4 for years. If it won't start on your system, something is corrupted. Let us know what version of iTunes you are trying to run and exactly what happens, including error messages if any, and someone can probably provide suggestions.  As it is, you're just asking people to guess.

  • Why using workarea for internal table is better in performance

    Please tell me
    why using workarea for internal table is better in performance

    Hi Vineet ,
      Why would we choose to use an internal table without a header line when it is easier to code one  with a header line?
    it has following reason.
    1)Separate Internal Table Work Area:
         The work area (staging area) defined for the internal table   is not limited to use with just one internal table.
    take ex-
    Suppose you want two internal tables for EMPLOYEE – one to contain all records and one to contain only those records where country = ‘USA’.  You could create both of these internal tables without header lines and use only one work area to load data into both of them. You would append all records from the work area into the first internal table.  You would conditionally append the ‘USA’ records from the same work area into the second internal table.
    2)  Performance Issues:  Using an internal table without a header line is more efficient than one  with a header line
    3) Nested Internal Tables:  If you want to include an internal table within a structure or another   internal table, you must use one without a header line.
    If this one is helpful ,then rewards me
    Regards

    Just got a new iphone5.  Why are addresses for every e-mail I've sent for the past 2 days added to my contact list -- not just once, but twice!?  How can I stop this from happening?

    Firefox doesn't store email addresses except as form data; data that you typed previously into Firefox.
    See if clearing form history solves that problem: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-firefox-automatically-fills-in-forms?esab=a&s=clear+form+data&r=5&as=s#w_clearing-form-history Clearing form history]

  • WHY WE GO FOR SESSION RATHER THAN LSMW ?

    WHY WE GO FOR SESSION RATHER THAN LSMW  , AND I WANT TO KNWO THE DIFFERANCES BETWEEN THEM AND IN WICH CONDITIONS  SESSION AND LSMW ARE  MOST SUTED? THANKING U

    hi,
    In BDC ,we can run session as per our need, you can run in foreground ,background or even you can run on periodic wise ,where as in LSMW
    you cant run as your wish .
    BDC (Batch Data Communication) is a technology used for data transfer. it is meant for transferring data thru SAP transactions itself. when u use BDC for data transfer, the sequence of steps is the same as when u use standard sap transaction screens for data upload. the only difference is that u can use different options for foreground/backgrou nd processing.
    LSMW on the other hand is a tool that helps migrate data from a legacy system (non-sap system ) to SAP system. it offers u various options to use either batch input, direct input, BAPIs or idocs. it involves a series of some 17-18 steps to migrate data.
    BDC:
    Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
    Features :
    BDC is an automatic procedure.
    This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
    BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
    BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
    Types of BDC :
    CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
    CALL TRANSACTION
    BATCH INPUT METHOD:
    This method is also called as ‘CLASSICAL METHOD’.
    Features:
    Asynchronous processing.
    Synchronous Processing in database update.
    Transfer data for more than one transaction.
    Batch input processing log will be generated.
    During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
    CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
    This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
    Features:
    Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
    Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
    Transfer data for a single transaction.
    Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
    No batch input processing log is generated.
    LSMW:
    The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
    The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
    Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
    The main advantages of the LSM Workbench:
    • Part of R/3 and thus independent of individual platforms
    • A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion:
    • Data consistency due to standard import techniques:
    Batch input
    Direct input
    BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces)
    IDocs (Intermediate Documents)
    The import technique to be used in an individual case depends on the business object.
    • Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
    • Clear interactive process guide
    • Interface for data in spreadsheet format
    Reward points if this helps you.

  • Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?

    Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?
    I created a project a few months ago, and iMovie worked as it always had. I would create a project, add a background song, then add photos to fill up the song.
    When I created a project today, I added the background song (4m9s), then added a single photo, and the background song length was shortened to 6 seconds. I have never seen the app work this way. I know I can extend the photo to the length of the background song, but it used to be so much easier to add photos and sync them with the music as I desi
    I'm using iPad2 with iMovie v1.4.1.
    Thoughts?

    When I've added photos to a project they are added to a default time to appear. Honestly I've never looked at the time but 6 seconds sounds close. I'm guessing that since you added the photo after you add the music that its thinking you want the two to match in time length so it tunicates the music. Try adding the photo first then add the music. Good luck!

    Why no addon for volumn button paging Ala maxthon?

    It complicates things. Firefox can produce audio thus overloading the volume buttons will cause confusion. The on a page that produces audio then trying to do the 'right' thing becomes difficult. I can think of a handful of ways it could behave and they all have ugly interactions.
