Integrating Project Networks with APO

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi

When we bring over Project Networks from ECC to APO, APO reschedules the network activities and sends results back to ECC.

1. What logic/ algorithm/ heuristic is used for this scheduling ? Is that based on master data settings or is it configurable or is it fixed ?

2. Is there a way to tell APO not to reschedule the network without enhancement (User Exit/ BADI) ? If no, which User Exit/ BADI can be used ?

Thank you,

Rishi Menon

Hi Rishi,

Assuming you are using a standard PP/DS system with no auto or manual planning run carried out, one possibility for project network activities reschedule could be auto mass maintenance of planning-related minimum intervals/offsets. The BAdI /SAPAPO/CDPS_PMAN_01 is active in the standard system that tries to manipulate the durations based on planning-related minimum intervals/offsets. Please check the following link for details http://help.sap.com/saphelp_SCM700_ehp02/helpdata/en/88/93d64260752a78e10000000a155106/content.htm.


Implement this BAdI to execute the functionality manually rather than automatic to solve the issue.

Hi Rajesh

Thanks for the response. We don't use PPDS directly at this client. We use CTM with PPDS data and the only reason to get networks to APO is so that order reservations and planned independent requirements that are linked to Project are seen as demand by CTM.

We are looking for a way to avoid APO from rescheduling project orders (network activities coming from ECC)
