SAP SCM product suite especially APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization) is used for carrying out planning and scheduling in the manufacturing business. Demand Planning helps in creating a statistical forecast for different product lines based on past history, promotional events, consumer trends and competitive intelligence.
Production planning utilizes limited resources to satisfy customer demand and production activities over a specified time horizon. In supply chain, Planning and scheduling problems are inherently optimization problems where objective is to develop a plan that meets demand at minimum cost or that fills the demand while maximizing profit
- Availability of different statistical forecasting methods covering different patterns i.e. Trend, Cyclical, Seasonal and Irregularity.
- Different modules to cater to different business requirement ranging from long-term need (Demand Planning), Medium Term (Supply Planning), Short Term (Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling).
- Easy integration with core ERP for transfer of master and transaction data. Planning specific functions can be executed in SAP APO while execution can still be carried out in core ERP suite.
- Demand Planning may or may not be liked by business users. Configuration and UI interface can be difficult to get used to.
- May require extensive configuration if the standard functionalities do not meet all business requirements
- Debugging issues with SAP Live cache for any trouble shooting require deep technical ABAP knowledge
SAP Supply Chain Management solution's two parts were implemented at our organization.
1) Advanced planning & optimization (APO)
2) Event Management (OER - object event repository)
Both were being used by different departments, and not by the whole organization.

EM offers solution to track object, real-time status, location and expected/unexpected event for within supply chain of our organization.

- SAP Supply Chain Management (APO) carries planning and scheduling functionalities very well.

- SAP EM of Supply Chain Management provides track and trace solution within supply chain network from different location. This provides theft and loss prevention solution for retail.
- When moving from non-SAP to SAP solution for Supply Chain Management-APO, it may take some time for business users to get use to, as solution provided in user interface sometime seems complex.
- For track and trace solution within SAP Supply Chain Management has scarcity of good resources especially when you want to track custom objects with complex use cases.
