APO CERTIFICATION

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

Expecting your valuable answers for the following questions.

Thanks in advance.

1 Multi Activity Resources are the resources

A Where more than one operations can be performed simultaneously

B Where number of individual capacity is more than one

C Where there are more than one work center

2 Mixed resources can be transferred from R/3 to APO using customer/exit

A TRUE

B FALSE

3 The following is true about mode

A Mode is assigned to activities

B Only one mode can be assigned to one activity

C The mode determines the resource and capacity requirement needed to execute an activity

D As well as the primary resource that is relevant for scheduling one can enter one or more secondary resources in a mode

E system doesnot create capacity requirement for the secondary resources in the mode because these resources are not basis for scheduling

4 Collective conversion of planned order is possible by

A Time oriented conversion where the planned orders, the opening period of which fall in the selected period gets converted into production order

B Structure oriented conversion, where planned order in the order progress report

5 The following is true for conversion of planned order to production order in APO

A Production order is created in APO

B Production order is created in R/3

C Production order no. is as per the number range configured in APO

1. A and B --> Relevant for PPDS context. C is false since it is only one Work Center under question.

2. A --> Mixed resources refer to resources with bucket and continuous capacity. Only customer exit can create such a resource

3. A, C, D and E --> Labor and Machine can be two modes on single activity. Note that loads are created for all the resources even if they are not scheduling relevant.

4. A and B --> There is flexibility in order conversion.

5. Technically it is B. But from exam purposes using conversion indicator one can see the production order created in APO as well hence A would also be correct.(though in backend A is still correct)

3 The following is true about mode

B Only one mode can be assigned to one activity
C The mode determines the resource and capacity requirement needed to execute an activity

E system doesnot create capacity requirement for the secondary resources in the mode because these resources are not basis for scheduling 

Hi Srinivas,

3 E is not TRUE. Capacity requirement is done for all the resources even they are secondary resources. While scheduling is done only on primary resource. If capacity requirement is not done at secondary resource how can you get the true available capacity?

Answer for 3 is only A,C & D

I agree with your analysis. I probably got lost in the semantics.

I agree that capacity loads can definitely be seen on secondary resources but they will not be scheduling relevant.
