Demand Planning Enhancements SCM 7.0 Forecasting Enhancement MLR with POS Improved demand visibility and response leads to higher forecast accuracy Exact Method Using detailed POS data (e.g. by store/sku/day) to create a store level POS forecast and include replenishment parameters to calculate impact on manufacturer supply chain Highest benefit potential, but time & resource-intensive CPU & user Qualitative Method Include POS data in existing processes with no or marginal process extension benefit potential maybe not be as high as exact methods, but faster and easier to implement low hanging fruit Combines statistical forecasting with causal analysis Calculates fluctuation due to inventory in the retail supply chain (which is not visible to the manufacturer) Works with Life Cycle Planning UI adjustment for the end user to set up the forecasting method as well as changing parameters in interactive planning Has its own new alerts: Diagnosis group using MAPE Insufficient data to execute algorithm MAPE upper limit exceeded Calculated MAPE greater than statistical forecast MAPE 2010 SAP AG.

Demand Planning Enhancements SCM 7.0 Continued Statistical Forecast Enhancement Re-Initialization & Trend Dampening Introduce new means of limiting or dampening the trend while also providing a means to make more generally applicable settings use a trend dampening profile set an upper limit for the trend value set an upper limit for the forecast use the trend dampening factor Phi (applicable only for exponential smoothing methods) Improve reaction of exponential smoothing methods (for certain smoothing parameters) to structural changes in the data by re-initialization. A structural change is detected in the historical data by means of 2 measures: Tracking Signal (TS) & Normalized Error (NE) When the structural change was identified the forecast parameters (basic value, trend value, seasonal indices) are reinitialized from the historical values of the period that was processed and the periods that follow Offer new BAdI method for additional white noise test calculation New white noise test is based on the Box-Pierce test Method= /SAPAPO/SCM_FCSTPARA -> WHITE_NOISE_TEST 2010 SAP AG.

Supply Network Planning Enhancements SCM 7.0 Continued CIF Enhancements All correct material master data and product data structure objects in an integration model are transferred from SAP ERP to SAP APO The erroneous master data are not transferred to SAP APO Transaction: /sapapo/cfmincr Incorrect master data are collected in the integration model: If one Master Data object fail in a Logical Unit of Work (LUW) then the whole LUW fail. All the objects in that LUW have to be reintegrated. Re-transfer of these master data objects to SAP APO can be easily triggered after the master data are corrected To enhance the performance in transferring product data structure objects from SAP ERP into SAP APO, a parallel CIF load logic has been implemented Prerequisite: ERP EhP04, Business Function CA_CIF_INILOAD_01 need to be activated.
