Description
This book provides a profound introduction to the functions, usage, and customization of production planning with SAP APO-PP/DS.
The authors teach you, step-by-step, how to use the central functions of APO-PP/DS and everything you need to know to optimally set up data exchange using APO Core Interface (CIF), including extensive details on APO master data. A comprehensive chapter on the functionality of APO-PP/DS helps you to master your daily work. In addition, readers learn how to use the central planning and analysis tools as well as how to create a finite production plan.
The book is complemented by a robust appendix, which includes menu paths, SAP Notes, and heuristics, and is guaranteed to be an invaluable reference. The book is based on SAP APO 5.0, but is equally relevant for users of older releases.
Highlights include:
Overview of Production Planning with ECC and APO-PP/DS
APO Core Interface: Customizing, Transferring Master and Transaction Data, CIF Monitoring
Master Data
Basic Functions of Production Planning: Requirements, Planning Process, Heuristics, Firming, Scheduling, Pegging
Tools: Order Views, Planning Boards, PP/DS Optimizer, Alert Monitor
Advanced Processes in APO-PP/DS: Finite Planning, Setup Optimization, CTP, Material Flow, Multiresource Planning
Appendix: SAP Notes, Menu Paths, Heuristics
