Hi Palnati,

You are a mechanical engineer so it will be very good option for you to learn APO.

The mySAP SCM (Supply Chain Management) solution is divided into the

following areas:

Supply Chain Planning,

Supply Chain Execution,

Supply Chain Coordination and

Supply Chain Collaboration.

In particular, the area of <b>Supply Chain Planning</b> includes Demand Planning,

(cross-plant) distribution planning and procurement planning, detailed production

planning down to operation level. You can execute these functions in SAP ERP

Central Component (ECC) and SAP R/3 or in SAP APO in the APO DP, APO

SNP and APO PP/DS components.

This is very good area if you have good understanding of planning concepts.
