APO Historical & Future forecast BAPIs

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We are integrating SAP SCM / APO with a third party application for safety stock calculation. For this we would require the historical and future forecast data from SAP. We are using BAPIs to get this data.

From the available documentation we could find that the BAPIs BAPI_PIRSRVAPS_GETLIST provides the forecast data.

Can anyone kindly tell us how exactly to use this BAPI can be used to get forecast data aggregated per week?

Thank you,

Hi,

The forecast program assumes that the flat file is loaded in the application server for the APO system. You do not need to create an interface but load data from the application server on to live cache.

This dpocument may be useful to get you started:

Hi Aveek,

Thank you for the reply. We will not be able to create a new interface and call the BAPIs inside as we are getting this integration certified by SAP.

So can you tell if it is possible to get the required data using standard BAPIs?

Cheers,

Dilip
