SAPTAC : SAP APO TRAINING

SAP (Advanced Planning and Optimizer) or SAP (APO) is the planning component within the my SAP SCM solution. APO is an acronym for Advanced Planner and Optimizer. This is a large component of SAP’s New Dimension products. APO is an entire suite of supply chain planner applications that increase overall knowledge of the supply chain and provide forecasting, planning and optimization.

There are eight application levels within SAP APO: network design, supply network planning, demand planning, production planning and detailed scheduling, transportation planning and vehicle scheduling, global availability and supply chain collaboration.

The SAP APO is not a standalone application and requires a back end ERP system such as SAP R/3 for the execution. SAP R/3 communicate with SAP APO using the the APO Core Interface (CIF) which supplies SAP APO with the master and the transaction data in the real time.
