Integration of pegging relationship between AATP and IBP OBP

[ayanbishnu1981]

Hello Experts

I have a requirement where we have both IBP OBP and AATP in S4HANA in scope. what I want to acheive is the following.

1) Execute constraint forecast optimizer in OBP to generate supply plan

2) Then execute the confirmation run in IBP so that it generate the pegging relationship between each demand and supply element..

3) Now before I want to execute the deployment in OBP I want to send the reswult of the confirmation run in S4 so that AATP can repeg those exisiting pegging that cane fropm OBP and generates in own fixed or dynamic pegging in S4 AATP.

4) Then I want the AATP pegged orders to be transferred back from S4 HAN to IBP OBP where I want to run the deployment based on the revised peggng that came in from AATP

Now my question is as below

a) After the confirmation run can I transfer the orders from IBP to S4 along with the pegging that has been created as a part of the confirmatrion run ? Is that possible using the exisitng SDI outbound ?

b) Once AATP run generates the fixed / dynamic pegging in S4 can i transfer those order along with the AATP pegged relationship uysing standard SDI inbound ? Or is their a way to bring the orders back to IBP along with the AATp pegging ?

c) In case the above is possible somehow will the deployment run in IBP respecyt the pegging generated in AATP ?

Any thoughts, suggestions or prior exprience on this ? Please feel free to share.

Hi Ayan,

Did you get any solution or answers to your requirement? If yes, please feel free to share it here.

Hi Ivan

I have got 50% of the solution where in I have figured out how to transfer the pegging from IBP OBP to S4 HANA. But how to bring the pegging from S4 to OBP is what i am yet to figure out. If i dont get anything then I will raise it confluence.

Hi Ayan,

Are you able to share any more details on how you achieved the first part. Getting the pegging information from IBP to S4.

Thanks,

Hi Vanam

thier are valid reasons and requirements where in we need to use both AATP and OBP confirmation in parallel. Let me explain.

• AATP has way more features and functionalities compared to comfirmation, as we have / or will have all the rules based ATP check which far superior than OBP confirmation based on custom atribute sorting and rules created in BRF+ put together.

• Majority of the confirmation based pegging will happen in AATP than OBP confirmation ( Aleast for org like microsoft, Apple, Adidas & Google, who rely heavily on this ATP process). Hence it a requirement to integrate pegged orders between AATP & OBP, for planning are visibility.

• Now OBP confirmation provides JIT and stable supply methods, where the later can closely associated with fixed pegging. Moreover most org runs OBP for a 6 to 8 months horizon at daily bucket, where the first 1 or 2 months are frozen from a delployment perspective. Hence pegging relationship in those frozen period should be ideally AATP based, where in OBP it is just a view only horizon.

So in a nutshell, the requirement based on which I raised this question is as follows

1. OBP confirmation to run and generate pegging for a 6 month horizon in IBP.
2. The pegging then needs to be in Sync in AATP, where complex RATP process runs for the first 8 weeks and revise and repeg the orders that came in from IBP.
3. Firmed pegging for the 1st 8 weeks goes back to IBP and confirmations run executes for the 6 month horizon without touching the pegging relationship in the frozen horizon.

Hi Ayan,

Thanks for the explanation..

To your comment in the above post,

"I have got 50% of the solution wherein I have figured out how to transfer the pegging from IBP OBP to S4 HANA".

Can you please share the information? can it be possible in RTI(SAP7F) as well?

Thanks,

Rahul

Hello rahul.kumar124

As of now we are exporting the peggining from OBP to S4 using the OData feed and leveraging CPIDS and web services to integrate those pegging info to S4.

Now getting the pegging from S4 to HANA, as of now is not possible in SDI or RTI either. But down the line RTI functions will be enhanced to include pegging in integration model. But when ?? Thats the real question, for which I dont have an answer right now 🙂

@ayanbishnu1981 Were you able to figure out a solution to Fixed pegging? We are having a similar requirement.

Hi Ayan,

When you run confirmation in IBP that means orders are confirmed based on rules and priorities.

However why would you run the AATP once again in S/4HANA?

This is gray area for customers to implement confirmation run and AATP functionality together.
