SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0 Overview
Enhancements in APO DP, SNP• Improved Chart Engine• Forecast Consumption•Transport Load Builder
Clear-to-Build* Enable an integrated APO SNC scenario to consider supplier confirmation for planning
Fear of Poor CustomerServiceInability to sense and respond to real time demand signals.Lack of
Visibility beyond the four wallsAnticipating the next supply chain disruption is not possible due to lack of visibility.
Globalization & OutsourcingHave resulted in stretched supply chains and increased risk. Timely analysis, response, and resolution of supply chain issues is impossible due to lack of control.
gATP Enhancements* Sub-Items* Inconsistencies with Descriptive Characteristics* Correction report for Sales. * MATP & Remaining Qtys..* BOPIN Enhancements* Performance Enhancements
Direct Shipment* Enable supply chain planning with direct shipping to end customers from vendors and factories

[SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0 Direct Shipment Planning / Third Party Order Planning
©
Objective of the new developmentsThe 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.
VENDOR / FACTORYCUSTOMER- Value Added Services*
and Customization - High visibility - High Collaboration
- Better Service- More efficient transportation
BRAND OWNER- Low costs of co-ordination- Low costs of DC space

[ SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0 Aggregated Planning (AFS)
Prerequisite: Business Function SCM_APO_HIER_AGG_PLAN needs to be switched on
Objective of the new developmentsWith 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 EnhancementsTransfer of AFS distribution profile to SAP APO via CIFRelease of Forecasts from DP to SNP / Forecast Consumption

[SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP APO 7.0 -CTM Continuous Improvements
Objective of the new developmentsAvoidance of excess supply caused by lot sizes and lot splitsBetter understanding of CTM results
Functional EnhancementsMerge 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
Supplier submitted ‘Planned Receipts’ in SAP SNC can be used in SAP APO Capable-To-Match (CTM) planning runs to provide a more 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

[ Supplier Planning Collaboration - Process Overview
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
[
The 2 Tier Collaboration ProcessCollaboration 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
By leveraging existing master data and proven automated process, SAP EIO is the easiest to maintain
Up-to-date accurate inventory targets over time, produces sustainable results with the least risk to the business
