Hi Arfin ,

Advanced Planner and Optimizer :SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer (SAP APO) provides the complete toolset needed to plan and optimize supply chain processes at the strategic, tactical and operational planning levels.

SAP APO always requires a backend ERP system for execution functions. In most cases, the backend system is an SAP R/3 system.

Regular ATP is the standard one for the availability check,and here APO helps us

1)For rule based ATP.

2)It also works at global level :it means the locations of vendor i.e. subscontracting scenerio is fully integrated..

3)reducing the time for checking the avaliablity .

HI

Refer below

SAP Advanced Planner and Optimizer is a component of the mySAP Supply Chain Management solution that you use for planning and optimizing supply chain processes at a strategic, tactical, and operational planning level.

- With APO - Simultaneous Material & Capacity Planning is possible, as against R/3 PP

- APO Planning is capable of taking all the constraints into consideration with Planning for Capacities/Scheduling

- APO Resource (workcenter in R/3) does a Capacity availability check before scheduling an activity, if capacity is not available, it finds the immediate next available slot & schedules the activity there.

<b>Global ATP</b>

<a href="http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv140/BBLibrary/HTML/GlobalATP.htm">Global ATP BB</a>

The Global Available-to-Promise (ATP) component uses a rules-based strategy to ensure you can deliver what you promise to your customers. Global ATP performs multilevel component and capacity checks in real time and in simulation mode to ensure that you can match supply and demand. You can also perform these ATP checks against aggregated, memory-resident data for even better performance. Global ATP maintains simultaneous, immediate access to product availability along the supply chain, so you can be confident that you can meet your delivery commitments.

Global ATP draws on a number of criteria to arrive at a commitment, including:

*

Product substitution: If a finished product or component is not available, the system automatically selects a substitute using rules-based selection criteria.

*

Selection of alternative locations: As with product substitution, Global ATP can source materials from alternative locations. You can also integrate this logic with the product substitution rules.

*

Allocation : You can allocate products or components that are in short supply to customers, markets, orders, and so on. The ATP calculation and response take these allocations into consideration.
