Sure you can use just DP with or without GATP and without SNP

What purpose?....

DP is purely for demand planning - the results can be fed to the next process in the overall system architecture which probably uses another system and not necessarily SAP APO

you can also use GATP alone for allocations and or availablity to promise at a cross plant level

most modules of SAP APO can work on its own with inputs or outputs to external systems to complete the planning process

So its left upto the solution architect to design and justify what modules can be implemented and what would work well with the business process and provide value

Hi, friend,

It looks like you don't want SNP. It is OK. DP with GATP and without GATP are both fine. It depends on your purpose.
