Course Highlights
Why Learn SAP APO?
SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization) is especially valuable for professionals who enjoy solving planning problems rather than focusing only on transactional activities. It addresses questions such as: What will customers need? Can we supply it? Where should we produce it? How much inventory should we maintain?
Comprehensive SAP APO Course Curriculum
Our SAP APO course helps you understand planning through business situations rather than memorizing isolated terminology: Forecast Creation → Demand Review → Supply Planning → Capacity Evaluation → Production Planning → Distribution Planning → Availability Check.
Advanced Planning (APO) Core Modules Covered
We cover the major planning areas traditionally associated with SAP APO:
- Demand Planning (DP): Forecasting and understanding future demand using historical sales, seasonality, trends and promotions
- Supply Network Planning (SNP): Planning supply across plants, warehouses, suppliers and distribution networks
- Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS): Detailed production planning and scheduling considering resource and capacity constraints
- Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP): Determining whether requested products can be confirmed based on available and planned supply
Integration, Scenarios & Modern SAP Landscape
This section focuses on how APO connects with other SAP areas and real-time planning scenarios:
- Integration: ERP Transaction Data → APO Planning → Planning Results → ERP Execution, with SAP MM, PP and SD
- Real-Time Scenarios: Festival-season demand increase, demand spike from a promotion, and supply shortage from a key supplier
- SAP APO vs SAP IBP: Established advanced planning vs SAP's newer cloud-based integrated business planning
- Modern Perspective: How advanced planning fits into SAP S/4HANA and modern supply chain landscapes
