SAP APO for abaper

[ppan4705]

Hi experts,

Can anyone help in areas of APO need to concentrate by a technical person or abaper. ?

Which functional area should one needs to concentrate to learn and understand APO.

Thanks,

Pradeep

For doing ABAP within APO, some useful things would be.

1. Pulling data from Livecache/Memory - best ways to do this. ie which BAPI's and Function modules, and wether it is order series of time series from DP. (below is an example of some test code with some hard coded numbers to pull some PPDS orders out for testing)

2. Find out what areas the business are using the most / struggling the most and dig into what is possible. There is often a mix of configuration changes or code which could do the same thing.

Code example with specific hard coded material and exact order ID to review results.

Hi Pradeep,

Basically am an abaper and have come across similar situation when i joined the new project as there was lot of APO customizations were needed.

I can suggest you following things.

1.Scope of automationg CCR,CIF Postprocessing,SMQ1/Q2 status checking.

2.We follows daily processchains for updating the PB and master tables.lot  of scope of abap is required.

3.Specific macros and bapis are available for fetching data as discussed above.Lot of customizations scopes .

4.Tlanes,Routines,Forecast translations,Promotions, list is endless..

SNP is a good choice.

For this question response will vary from person to person. In my personal opinion, you can focus on APO's integration with ECC system (i.e. CIF - interface and data transfer). As well as data load into DP Info Cubes and 'release' of demand plan from DP to SNP. There are areas which I can suggest from my experience.

Hi Pradeep,

Do you mean which Functional Area in APO should Learn by an Abaper? Better learn SNP which got lot of scope for development.

Hi Ravi ,
Thanks for your suggestion.  My doubt is in my current company I can face issue realted to SNP, DP ,alerts monitor ,cif ,automation of ccr etc.
So as a abaper one needs to concentrate on which things --> functional prospective or  any other thing.
