Hi vas.v.s.,

SAP APO (Advanced Planning & Optimization) is a planning tool which works together with SAP R/3.

During planning, SAP APO relies on data from SAP R/3 (stocks or sales orders, for example) and the execution of dates and quantities planned in SAP APO takes place in SAP R/3.

Under SAP APO you have the followings:

1) Demand Planning

- a powerful tool used to forecasts future demand for products on the basis of historical and current sales data

2) Supply Network Planning

- plan for the short- or mid-term horizon for the entire supply chain

3) Production Planning & Detailed Scheduling

- is used mainly for short-term to the minute planning (both for in-house production and external procurement) in the production plant.

4) Transportation Planning/ Vehicle Scheduling

- helps to optimize use of transport resources (vans, trains, ships, airplanes) to perform deliveries as punctually and economically as possible.

5) Global ATP (Global Available to Promise)

Hope this helps

Regards,

Nicole
