Comparison aspects: BW-BPS
The main benefit of BW- BPS is its generic nature: almost any planning application may be built.
Compared to APO it offers value based planning (incl. calculation with prizes), simulation with independent KPIs and currency translation.
BW-BPS is the integration basisfor sales planning in the financial plan.
In addition BW-BPS offers workflow coordination and monitoring of the overall planning process.
Compared to APO-DP the main difference is that there is no network typical calculation (e.g. Bill of material explosion).

Frontend: Planning books
The liveCache (LC) is the main data storage for APO
-
SAP AG 2004, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 29
SAP APO contains an embedded SAP BW for technical Reasons : The SAP BW within SAP APO is NOT meant to replace a separate
external SAP BW for reporting purposes You may also have an external, separate SAP BW in your mySAP SCM
landscape :No release synchronization is required between the external SAP BW and
the SAP BW inside SAP APO. Only the extractors must be compatible.

APO-DP is the integration module of APO-SNP to BW-based planning. APO-SNP evaluates the feasability of the sales plan based on capacity restrictions.
Additional planning functionality such as Bill of material explosion and special forecast functions.
The market view is reduced to the location as the most important characteristic in order to reduce data volume and redundant customer master data.

Challenge: Data Transformation
Master Data Management BW-BPS: BW is the one and only master data server -> integration via
reference APO-DP: Has its own master data management but can copy master data
from BW -> integration via copying APO-SNP: Has its own master data management and works on fixed
characteristics -> real-time integration to R/3 Challenge:. Heterogeneous system infrastructure causes the need for
mapping and transformation functionality between system borders
Currency Handling BW-BPS: Multiple currencies and currency transformation supported APO: Data is kept in one currency for each planning area (ad hoc currency
translation is available for display purposes)
Unit Handling BW-BPS: Multiple units supported (but no transformation of non-
compatible units APO: No multiple units -> One unit for each planning area
-
SAP AG 2004, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 36
Data Transformation between BPS and APO
How to achieve data transformation
Alternative 1: BPS pushs and pulls data from/to APO Multi Planning Area in BW for BPS and APO InfoCube
Data structures equal: Use Copy Function Data structures different: Use Fox Fomula to map structures
Alternative 2: APO pulls data from BPS / BPS pulls data from APO Data from transactional BW InfoCube can be read by APO Changed data in APO is extracted to non-transactional InfoCube Multi Planning Area in BPS for BPS and APO InfoCube
Data structures equal: Use Copy Function Data structures different: Use Fox Formula to map structures
Note: APO-InfoCubes should consist at least of the following InfoObjects
9AVERSION (Planning Verision) 9ALOCNO (Location) -> only if APO-SNP is used 9AMATNR (Product) -> only if APO-SNP is used
If data should be available in an InfoCube it has to be extracted from Live Cache (non-transactional InfoCube)

Mapping of data in Planning Area APO1 and BPS1. # marks characteristics that dont
exist in the corresponding InfoCube.

Mapping example: APO data is in planning area APO1, BPS data is in planning area BPS1 Multi planning area APOBPS groups the two basic areas Characteristic for product in APO1: 9AMATNR Characteristic for product in BPS1: 0Material Product 18 in planning area APO1 = Product 40 in planning area BPS1

SAP AG 2004, Title of Presentation / Speaker Name / 38
Challenge: Aggregation, Disaggregation, Derivation
Different Planning Levels BW-BPS: Planning Level can be set up in a flexible way based
on characteristics and key figures in BW BW-BPS: disaggregation (function) not mandatory APO-DP: Planning Level can be set up in a flexible way based
on characteristics and key figures in BW APO-DP: data always disaggregated to lowest level APO-SNP: Fixed planning level (Location / Product) Challenge: Aggregation/Distribution/Derivation of
characteristic dimensions between components
Different Time Dimensions BW-BPS: Can work on different time dimensions in parallel. No
predefined conversion function between time dimensions. APO: Can work on different time dimensions in parallel.
Predefined conversion function between time dimensions
Version Management BW-BPS: Version is a characteristic. No automatic version
management available APO: automatic version management available
Set up time conversion in
BW-BPS according to APO time conversion
Location and Product are the
limitations in APO. Define mapping and
distribution rules accordingly
Workaround: Create automatic planning
functions in BW-BPS in order to automate
version management.

Take action
Set up round table integration team involve: Project sponsor from board Controlling Production Sales
Discuss integration opportunities: landscape (depends on your companies situation) master data concept must be designed for integration needs
Build small prototype for a single product or product group Evaluate and improve prototype Deploy to a broader scope
Keep in mind: Integration is not a matter of system support only it is a continous effort of people collaborating across departmental boarders and may involve cultural changes.
Keep in mind that targets may be competing
Project success depends on management support!
Continously evaluate and improve collaborative planning process!!!

7 Key points to take away.
Planning across departmental boarders becomes vital for the overall success of companies in turbulent environments
SAP enables closed-loop collaborative planning through BW-BPS, CRManalytics and APO
BW-BPS is the platform for CRManalytics APO is delivered with a BW for data storage and analysis BW-BPS is the main basis for stable integration of the different
planning tools in the BW environment Integration through BW-BPS does not require additional
interfaces
Collaborative and integrated planning requires committment of all affected parties
