Hi hari,

1)can anyone tell me the difference between SAP R/3 and SCM...

Check the very second post in the forum:

2)When will they go for SCM..

SCM can never totally replace R/3 since APO is a planning system and SCM is a execution system.

Example: APO can only create a planned order and check the conversion indicator but it can not convert it to Production order.

Not all components are planned in APO as it's more expensive.

3)Can SCM be a standalone with out R/3..

APO is not a stand alone system. It always needs a execution system like R/3.

I suggest you search the forum because this is a very common question.

Hi Hari,

The answers to your above queries are as follows:-

1)can anyone tell me the difference between SAP R/3 and SCM...

SAP R/3 - Purely execution tool with minimum features ie not advanced

SCM - Purely planning tool with maximum features and also advanced.

2)When will they go for SCM..

For Advanced planning purposes.

3)Can SCM be a standalone with out R/3..

SCM can be made and act as standalone without R/3 depending on user requirements.

Hope this will help you. Please confirm
