Hi,

Suppose a planning engine in APO (CTM/Heuristic/OPT) is generateing supply elements. After getting CIFF'ed to R/3, will they by any chance get rescheduled by picking any R/3 master data or scheduling relevant parameters from R/3 and change the supply elements?

Thanks,

SS

Hi,

During the CIF, only the Planned order basic dates are transffered to R/3.

Hi,

Can you kindly give me more explanation on the logic and also example if possible

This was compleely new to me

I was assuming that APO is a planning sysem and what ever planning proposals have been created by APO would remain unchanged in R/3 as APO is the source system

Thanks,

SS,

Your assumption is not supported by documentation. Execution takes place in ERP, and therefore master data within ERP largely determines what will happen to the orders in ERP. The overall incongruity between ERP and APO in minimized by the fact that most of the relevant master data in ERP is replicated in APO, and orders should normally behave similarly, whether they are scheduled in APO or in ERP.

There is extensive discussion in online help about integration of transactional data, including manufacturing type orders (planned/production). Other order types (sales orders, purchase orders, etc) are also discussed.

Planned order

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/7b/9a0a68b44f48dfbb8e205483d2adc7/frameset.htm

Production order (PP/DS)

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/c8/877540540ed362e10000000a155106/frameset.htm

These two links, plus the surrounding pages within the SAP help, explain in detail what happens under which circumstances. The permutations of possibilities are much too long to describe in a forum post. For examples, just create a few planned / production orders in your local sandbox to get a flavor.

Hi DB49,

I have gone through the documentation. I stll have one doubt.

For example -- the orders in APO have a diffeent BoM explosion date than in R/3..The how do I interpret this situation

Vamsee,

??? I thought we were talking about scheduling.

how do I interpret this situation

???? I guess you interpret it that there are two different BOM explosion dates. When you execute, the components in the ERP order will be the ones that will be used.

BOM explosion date integration is covered in the docs surrounding the links I posted earlier, such as

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/da/41b2873da25d45a0c2b5b7f007d126/frameset.htm

BOM explosion date in ERP is influenced by several factors. For production orders::

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/90/ba683d446711d189420000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

For planned orders, if you do not use the assignment of a BOM explosion number, the order start date is always used as the explosion date for the BOM.

BOM explosion date can also be reset manually in ERP.

Hi DB49,

I am sorry to have brought this question in between but this was the question which made me post this query in the forum

Your inputs are very much useful. I am going through them
