Supply Chain Management with SAP APO™

The Advanced Planner and Optimiser (SAP APO TM ) is the software from SAP dedicated to supply chain management. This book provides an overview about the supported SCM processes and explains how to implement SAP APO TM  in a company. It is written from a long years' experience in implementation projects and aims to provide project managers and team members with the necessary know how for a successful implementation project. The focus of the book lies in introducing modelling approaches and explaining the structure and interdependencies of systems, modules and entities of SAP APO TM  based on the release SAP SCM TM 2008. Another concern is the integration with SAP ERP TM , both technically and from a process point of view. Since SAP APO TM  projects differ significantly from other SAP projects, some key issues and common mistakes concerning project management are mentioned as well.
