Hi Raj,

For implementing new APO system, you need to take care of

all configurational settings and technical settings for effective

integration. This will reduce most of your paint

From consultant side, you need to discuss with business team

in understanding the business requirements and configurations

that are required for planning.

For parallel processing, although it is not highly recommendable

you need to monitor after execution of planning runs or any

other jobs failure results in performance issues. Setting up

parallel processing profile is prerequisite wherever required

Raj,

First the APO system must be installed. I cannot comment much on this, as this is typically handled by Basis (and I am pitiful as a Basis person). Following is the link for SAP site where one can download the appropriate docs (you must be a customer). In particular, the Basis person will need the Installation guide.

Once the hardware is up and running, PP/DS functional expert will need to configure. It is best to start with SAP's Best Practices. Following are the four basic Best Practices you will need.

What are the things need to be done from consultant side?

Depends on the role of the consultant, which should be clearly outlined in the terms of the contract. If it is unclear, then follow standard project procedures. Your company should have guidelines. Like all projects, it is important that you fully understand the client's requirements. I generally try to push the users into adopting standard SAP solutions and functionality where possible.

I am planning parallel processing and how to deal with it?

I don't understand what you mean. Can you elaborate?

Best of Luck and Regards,
