Hi Durga,

It's APO till version 3.1 and then SAP merged few more things and then started calling SCM-APO after 4.0.

The real time integration between R/3 and APO is through Core Interface.

You can get more details on CIF in <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki">wiki</a>. Browse for SCM and then for CIF.

The optimization of business cost planning is mostly done in APO-SNP- optimizer and CTM(may be). The integration is all real time with R/3 through CIF.

Hope this helps.
