3. LG Chemical : APO Overview 3 History of Resource Planning Systems: APS  Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system features:  Separate system  Own data pool  Pros:  Optimized data structures  Main memory based planning models  Cons (through dependency on ERP):  Two systems, two data pools  Data must be downloaded and uploaded by batches  Data integrity difficulties through disintegration  Never the current status

4. LG Chemical : APO Overview 4 SAP APO System  APO is SAP’s APS solution  Based on SAP Basis System and mySAP BW  Powerful memory-resident analytical engine  Specialized and configurable data objects  Open interface to both SAP and non-SAP systems  Modules  Demand Planning (DP)  Supply Network Planning (SNP)  Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS)  Global Available To Promise (GATP)  Transportation Planning and Vehicle Scheduling (TP/VS)  Collaborative Planning (CP)  Network Design (ND)

11. LG Chemical : APO Overview 11 Performance Benefits of liveCache  Avoids/reduces disk I/O:  Data is kept in main memory, all operations run in memory so large data cache necessary  Disk based logging need not be used  Reduces dataflow between application and data management:  Application logic runs where the data is, avoiding network load  Reduces runtime of operations on data:  Application logic operates with COM routines on object data faster than SQL commands on relational data

12. LG Chemical : APO Overview 12 Client Concept with APO 3.10  APO 3.10 is Client-Specific with Condition  Current Restrictions  BW InfoCubes generate coding (client-independent) –InfoCubes can only be used within one single client, which is determined through the first call of a BW-dependent application –It is not possible to change the productive client at a later stage  All APO applications using BW InfoCubes are client-independent –Demand and Supply Planning (planning area) –Product allocation check (global ATP), if using BW InfoCubes –Collaborative Demand and Supply Planning –Network Design if data supply through BW InfoCube  InfoCube-dependent applications such as DP and/or SNP are restricted to one client!  Exception  SAP BW 2.x / SAP APO 3.x : Working in several Clients (note.384057)  SAP BW 3.0 within SAP SCM 4.0 : Working in several Clients (note.522569)  Too many considerations !!!
