Hi Suneel,

SCM APO is completely a planning system. The Planning results of the same will be sent to R/3 for execution.

SAP APO is termed as SCM from 4.0 version onwards. SCM has ICH, Event Mgmt, Extended Warehouse mgmt, Forecast and Replenishment along with APO.

The following are the components of APO

1 Demand Planning

Is an extension of flexible planning in Production planning module of R/3. It is

used to forecast the sales. The Output of Demand Planning(Forecast) is either

sent to R/3 or SNP.

2 Supply Network Planning

SNP is used to do sourcing. For eg from where the product has to be procured

and how the supply is to be distributed to Demand.

3 Production Planning and Detailed scheduling

PP/DS is used to do detailed scheduling of production orders. It does Capacity

planning as well.

4 Global availability to promise

This module is an extension to SD's ATP functionality. The limitation of ATP are

dealt in GATP. This module is used to determine the product availability date

and the qty to be confirmed to the Customer.

5 Transportation Planning and vehicle scheduling.

This module groups optimizes the transportation capacity(Trucks, Trailers) of

the plant and also schedules the vehicles, determines the route to cover

maximum customers.

I hope this information helps.

Best Regards
