Clear-to-Build
* Enable an integrated APO SNC
scenario to consider supplier
confirmation for planning
Have resulted in stretched supply chains and increased risk. Timely
analysis, response, and resolution of supply chain issues is impossible due
to lack of control.
Direct Shipment
* Enable supply chain planning with
direct shipping to end customers from
vendors and factories
Lack of
Visibility
beyond the four
walls
Anticipating the next supply
chain disruption is not possible
due to lack of visibility.

Direct Shipment Planning / Third Party Order Planning
Objective of the new developments
The off-shore vendor and off-shore own manufacturing model has grown significantly over the last
years led by the fashion, hi-tech, and consumer products industries. Companies increasingly save on
transportation and own distribution center handling costs by direct shipping to end customers from
vendors and factories.
Support of mid-term supply chain planning for third party orders considering forecasting capabilities
and finite capacities at the supplier.

SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0
Aggregated Planning (AFS)
Objective of the new developments
With SAP APO 5.0, the concept of aggregated planning has been introduced to SAP
APO. Currently, the aggregated planning does not consider the AFS distribution profile
and works only correctly if infinite capacity is assumed.
With SCM 7.0 EhP1, accurate aggregated planning in SAP APO includes the
consideration of the AFS distribution profile, automatic aggregation in CTM and a new
dis-aggregation report
Functional Enhancements
Transfer of AFS distribution profile to SAP APO via CIF
Release of Forecasts from DP to SNP / Forecast Consumption
Consideration of AFS distribution profile
Forecast consumption on aggregated level
CTM Enhancements
Automatic aggregation
Consistent disaggregation
SNP Interactive Planning
Order changes on aggregated level can be disaggregated according to AFS
distribution profile, quotations or demands in the bucket.
Pegging information is shown at detailed order level and will be retained.
Prerequisite: Business Function SCM_APO_HIER_AGG_PLAN needs to be switched on

DP / SNP Chart Engine
Objective of the new developments
Improve usability of the chart engine
Ease of chart engine customizing
Functional Enhancements
Interaction between chart and grid: marking of cells in the grid highlight the according points in the
chart, and vice versa
Display of the chart:
– Dynamically setting of start and end period of the chart
– Definition of shown periods in the chart independently from the grid
– Scalability of the Y-axis ( value axis): set of minimum and maximum value
– Show or hide chart legend
– The chart can be shown in full screen mode
– Inverting of key figure values

DP Continuous Improvements
Bucket-oriented forecast consumption
The principle of the bucket-oriented consumption modes is that forecast is only consumed within the
specified bucket and forecasts of other periods are unconcerned.
Application Log for Demand Planning (transaction: /sapapo/sdpapplog) to access the standard application
logs for:
DP in the background
Promotion management
Proportional factor calculation.

[ SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0 CTM Continuous Improvements
Objective of the new developments
Avoidance of excess supply caused by lot sizes and lot splits
Better understanding of CTM results
Functional Enhancements
Merge Orders to avoid excess supply
In case Lot Sizing is used in CTM planning excess supply might get generated in upstream operations
due to lot splits in downstream operations which is caused e.g. by capacity constraints.
Explanation Tool
Prior to today the CTM explanation tool gave insufficient and partly misleading information.With
SCM 7.0 EhP1 new explanations are introduced to get a better understanding which issues have
caused the capacity, lateness, or partial \ non fulfillment of orders.
If the supply element is outside the “threshold for notification” setting in the Explanation Profile, will
receive “Order was scheduled with earliness of x hours” message.

[ Collaborative Supply Planning
Enhanced integration between SAP APO and
SAP SNC to support multi-tier and multi
product planning and collaboration business
scenarios

realistic plan considering near real-time
information provided directly by the business
partner
Integration is industry independent and suitable
for all industries with constraint based planning
scenarios
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
[ Supplier Planning Collaboration - Process Overview
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
[ Supplier Planning Collaboration
Two Tier Collaboration
The 2 Tier Collaboration Process
Collaboration first happens between OEM and CM for finished products: OEM shares
finished product forecast with CM.
Collaboration then happens for critical components (and not all components!) between OEM
and Component Suppliers: to determine if sufficient component supply is available.
Component Suppliers respond back with a supply commit.
Collaboration finally happens between OEM and CM for finished products: OEM shares clear
to build with CM. CM produces and ships finished products accordingly.

[ SAP EIO is the lowest cost, easiest to maintain, and least
risk inventory optimization solution to integrate with
SAP Inventory optimization has the potential to create significant and quick
benefits through reductions in inventory and increased sales
Integrating inventory optimization to SAP at an enterprise level in a cost
effective way has many challenges, which can put not only the value of
inventory optimization solutions at risk, but also put the entire business at
risk
SAP EIO pre-built integration assets reduce the cost and risk of
implementation of implementing inventory optimization
Pre-built assets reduce the implementation effort, making SAP EIO the lowest
cost to implement
