Answer / javed naseer

We use SAP r/3 for single plant planning & execution only
it is not possible to do cross plant planning in SAP R/3.
For cross plant planning we use APO but after planning in
R/3 we have to send the planning results to r/3 for
Execution because execution is not possible in APO.
Apo means Advance Planning & optimizer.
SAP APO stands for Advanced Planner and Optimizer, which is
one area of SCM and application component of MySAP product.
Its is designed to provide solutions for companies in
Demand planning, network design, supply network planning,
production planning and global available to promise,
transportation and scheduling.

Answer / jinu

the major difference in between sap r/3 and APO is that in
sap r/3 excecuting of production orders or purchase
orders,material withdrawal and costing takesplace,whereas
in apo only planning can be performed,
Sales orders are only created in SAP R/3 whereas in APO it
is not created.
IN APO planning is done for the critical materials using
MRP type X0.

Answer / tim

Apart from above APO will consider capacity constraints
while planning and PP in R/3 will not consider capacity
constraints and will plan as a whole.

Hi All, In Repititive manufacturing during backflush we enter the production date and the batch. The classification for production date and Shelf life expiration date has been maintained in the material master. We have a characteristic "date of last goods reciept"which updates the characteristic value in the batch classification automatically from the production date entered in MFBF Tcode. Even though we have maintained the min shelf life and total shelf life the system does not calculate the remaining shelf life for the batch and does not update the value for shelf life in batch classification. Please suggest the procedure for updating values in batch classification for shelf life automatically from MFBF Regards, LN
