[ SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0 Overview


Clear-to-Build
* Enable an integrated APO SNC scenario to consider supplier confirmation for planning

Globalization & Outsourcing


Have resulted in stretched supply chains and increased risk. Timely analysis, response, and resolution of supply chain issues is impossible due to lack of control.

Direct Shipment
* Enable supply chain planning with direct shipping to end customers from vendors and factories

Lack of Visibility beyond the four walls


Anticipating the next supply chain disruption is not possible due to lack of visibility.

Enhancements in APO DP, SNP Improved Chart Engine Forecast Consumption Transport Load Builder

Fear of Poor Customer Service


Inability to sense and respond to real time demand signals.

Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0 [SAP Direct Shipment Planning / Third Party Order Planning
Objective of the new developments The off-shore vendor and off-shore own manufacturing model has grown significantly over the last years led by the fashion, hi-tech, and consumer products industries. Companies increasingly save on transportation and own distribution center handling costs by direct shipping to end customers from vendors and factories. Support of mid-term supply chain planning for third party orders considering forecasting capabilities and finite capacities at the supplier.

SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0 Aggregated Planning (AFS)
Objective of the new developments With SAP APO 5.0, the concept of aggregated planning has been introduced to SAP APO. Currently, the aggregated planning does not consider the AFS distribution profile and works only correctly if infinite capacity is assumed. With SCM 7.0 EhP1, accurate aggregated planning in SAP APO includes the consideration of the AFS distribution profile, automatic aggregation in CTM and a new dis-aggregation report Functional Enhancements Transfer of AFS distribution profile to SAP APO via CIF Release of Forecasts from DP to SNP / Forecast Consumption Consideration of AFS distribution profile Forecast consumption on aggregated level CTM Enhancements Automatic aggregation Consistent disaggregation SNP Interactive Planning Order changes on aggregated level can be disaggregated according to AFS distribution profile, quotations or demands in the bucket.

In case Lot Sizing is used in CTM planning excess supply might get generated in upstream operations due to lot splits in downstream operations which is caused e.g. by capacity constraints.

Explanation Tool
Prior to today the CTM explanation tool gave insufficient and partly misleading information.With SCM 7.0 EhP1 new explanations are introduced to get a better understanding which issues have caused the capacity, lateness, or partial \ non fulfillment of orders. If the supply element is outside the threshold for notification setting in the Explanation Profile, will receive Order was scheduled with earliness of x hours message.

[ Supplier Planning Collaboration - Process Overview

Real Experience. Real Advantage.

[ Supplier Planning Collaboration


Two Tier Collaboration
The 2 Tier Collaboration Process Collaboration first happens between OEM and CM for finished products: OEM shares finished product forecast with CM. Collaboration then happens for critical components (and not all components!) between OEM and Component Suppliers: to determine if sufficient component supply is available. Component Suppliers respond back with a supply commit. Collaboration finally happens between OEM and CM for finished products: OEM shares clear to build with CM. CM produces and ships finished products accordingly.
