    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)

  • 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.
