APO complete cycle

[former_member698542]

Hi,

I am new to APO. I want a complete cycle of APO with T-Codes and brief explanations. I know about CIF ann BW part of APO. But tell me the sequence of steps and transactions.

We are creating logical systems and RFC settings in both R/3 and APO. We do create BSG in APO,but where we link the BSG and R/3. Is there any settings for that.

I have one more question. Should the Logical system names and RFC names be same in both R/3, APO.

Kindly clarify.

Thanks and regards

If you have multiple R/3 systems connected to same APO system, the BSG helps identifying master data. See this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/1c/24e537b6ed130be10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm">link</a> under CIF.

You need to maintain the same logical system names and corresponding RFCs in R/3 and APO system. Also the RFC user needs to be created in both system. Please see this <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/c7/b5df371babfa0fe10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">link</a>.

Hi Somnath,

Thank you very much for your reply. Based on your answer I have the following questions.

1.You are telling that we have to give same name for Logical system and RFC settings in APO and R/3. In case of one BSG having two R/3 systems how can we give same name for logical system and RFC for the two R/3 systems. How the APO system will distinguish difference between the two R/3 systems.

2.Where we assign the R/3 systems to BSG.

Thanks and regards

Let me explain with a scenario.

You have two R/3 systems say R3ACLNT100 and R3BCLNT100 as the logical systems and according RFC destinations maintained in you APO system.

You create two BSGs say BSGA and BSGB.

Then goto SPRO >> Integration with SAP Components >> Integration of SAP SCM and SAP R/3 >> Basic Settings for Creating System Landscape >> Assign Logical System and Queue Type.

There you maintain two entries like below

BusSysGrp Logical System R/3 Flag .....

BSGA R3ACLNT100 X

BSGB R3BCLNT100 X

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Somnath
