Basics of APO DP , SNP

[prasad_mandre]

Hi ,

What can be a good starting point to understand different functionalities and gain detailed understanding of DP and SNP modules?

Need mastery on DP and SNP from Business Perspective rather than technicalities,

For demand planning, I would suggest to read on various forecasting methods and forecasting related stuff. You can refer to help.sap.com or any standard literature on forecasting & demand planning.

For SNP, you can go through first 3 modules of CPIM i.e. Basics of Supply Chain Management, Master planning of resources & detailed scheduling and planning. You should definitely read the book "Introduction to Materials Management" by Arnold,J R Tony & Chapman.

Experience is the best teacher!

Hope this helps!
