Fit between SAP APO DP/SNP and S&OP DP/RCCP

[Former Member]

If a customer is already using APO DP and SNP, how does SAP S&OP DP and RCCP  'fit' with the existing APO solution and add value?

Thanks for any advice here.

Regards,

Bob.

Value addition is simulation for what -If 's which  we have in APO , but it takes a long to run whole Planning area. Where as S&OP, we can utilize HANA power to do what if 's more quickly and decide on what scenario you can promote... This is straight value add and I have seen one of the customer trying to accomplish

Hi Bob

good to see you here, hope is all well.

May I ask you and the other experts a question - can a company implement SCM S&OP on HANA and leave the already implemented SCM APO solution use its legacy databases (for example Oracle and LiveCache (MaxDB). I.e. can S&OP on HANA run alongside traditional databases powering the rest of SCM, and APO in particular?

Many thanks

Hi Stani,

Yes, you can run S&OP on HANA along with SCM APO (on traditional DB). This is typical scenario for many of our Customers. We have out of the box integration content for APO and ECC using HCI and Data Services.

Thanks,

One simple example is, we can not run simulations quickly for what - if in APO . This can be done very quickly in S&OP... and can collaborate with team  quickly which lacks in APO
