Solution Overview Data Replication Solution in Detail Demand Solution in Detail Supply Roadmap Agenda
Solution Overview
Value Proposition Better decision making with near real-time information Ability to quickly analysis relevant planning situations at multiple levels of aggregation Visibility into key Supply Chain Planning data in an easily consumable way Less time spent compiling, generating, and waiting for reports
New analytical capabilities on APO data residing in SAP HANA Solution Out of the box analytical reporting with streamlined data load. Decision support based on near real time information. Pre-defined dashboards for different use cases (analytical workflows) for APO based planning scenarios. Use cases based on best practices for operational reporting on APO data leveraging the full potential of HANA Key Benefits Reporting on data aggregates possible e.g. grouping by product family. Increased performance for APO analytics by order of magnitudes allows close to real time reporting Highly attractive, user friendly UI Design Simplified approach for operative reporting (e.g. no BW reporting framework)
Use Cases Forecast Accuracy Supports the demand planner with indicators on the quality and reliability of the forecast on all possible levels Informs the demand planner about the forecast accuracy over time in order to understand patterns Supply Projection Supports the supply planner to measure the quality of a plan Supports the supply planner to identify bottlenecks supporting supply chain improvement objectives Stock Coverage Supports the supply planner to understand inventory on different levels and locations in the supply chain Provides inventory information based on future demand and supply
Data Replication
Deployment options for Supply Chain Info Center SAP APO with SAP HANA Side-by-Side SAP APO on SAP HANA data base SCM Server SNC Analytics SCM Server SNC Analytics APO APO SCM Basis LC replication LC replication SCM Basis VDM VDM Classical DB Live Cache SLT HanaDB HanaDB Live Cache Replication Full and delta replication of APO data for snapshot and near to real time Analytics
Create a Replication Model 1 / 2 Click on the 'New' button to create a new Replication Model Call transaction Replication Model Maintenance (/SAPAPO/REPL_MODEL) The list shows you already existing and active Replication Models
Create a Replication Model 2 / 2 A new window Replication Model will be opened. Enter Replication Model ID and Description. Select your planning book, data view and planning version. Specify a selection ID from your DP/SNP Planning Area to replicate relevant products Enable replication model for DELTA replication Secondary Database Connection: APO_REPLICATION Map the corresponding key figure semantics to determine which KF in Apo map to the KF in HANA.
Activation of the Replication Model Select the formerly created replication model in the list and click on the 'Activate' button. Note: It is not possible to have several active Replication Models with the same settings. In this case you get an Information during activation.
Example of an Activated Replication Model
Replicate Planning Data to SAP HANA System Call transaction /SAPAPO/REPL Replication of Planning Data to SAP HANA in your Planning System Enter your formerly created Replication Model. You can use Parallel Processing and choose if you want to save Application Log. Start the Replication.
Replicate Planning Data to SAP HANA System Call transaction /SAPAPO/REPL_DELTA in your Planning System All logged changes are processed for selected Planning Version You can use Parallel Processing and choose if you want to save Application Log. Start the Replication.
Replicate Planning Data to SAP HANA System Simply schedule the delta replication report as a batch job running periodically (e.g. every minute)
Solution In Detail - Demand
Demand Planning Use Cases Use case Forecast Accuracy (covered in version 1) Current Consumption (Planned for future) Demand Waterfall Analysis (Planned for future) Description Analyse forecast quality of your products. See trends and take actions. Compare forecast vs. sales orders and see deviations from plan. See how demand is developing over time. Benefit Better insight leads to more accurate demand forecast. Ability to do dynamic accuracy calculations at any level. Gives you up to date view on current forecast/consumption situation. Allows quick response to demand changes. Analyze forecast stability for Demand Planning. Visual Notification of forecast changes outside of threshold. Lever Insight Agility Insight
Forecast Accuracy Introduction Focus on past forecasting performance Supports the demand planner with indicators on the quality and reliability of the forecast on all possible levels Informs the demand planner about the forecast accuracy over time in order to understand patterns Supports the demand planner to evaluate forecasts on different levels Offered KPIs are focused on past forecasting performance

Solution In Detail - Supply
Supply Network Planning Use Cases Use case Supply Projection (covered in version 1) Capacity Analysis (Planned for version 1.5) Stock Coverage (covered in version 1) Supply Waterfall Analysis (Planned for future) Description Analyse projected service level or shortage for your products in top-down way. See capacity load across the supply chain and get insight on consuming products. Analyse inventory development over time with value, quantity or days supply based KPIs See how supply is developing over time. Benefit Aggregated view allows faster decision making. Ability to drill into the details. Enhanced visibility allows better capacity utilization. Aggregation and drill down to analyse consumption by product group or SKU. Allows fast response to inventory shortfalls or surplus. Quickly identify target and safety stock deviations. Analyze supply plan stability for supply planning. Visual Notification of distribution/production changes outside of threshold. Lever Agile Agile Agile Insight
