Reach Key Objectives With SAP APO
Key Functions of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization Module

Demand Planning
Fuel future customers’ demand with SAP APO forecasting, planning, and optimization functions. Adopt a consensus-based approach to achieve genuine transparency and create trustworthy procurement plans.

Supply Сhain Planning
Secure a real-time digital console where all logistic processes run smoothly. Oversee the entire logistics chain — process purchasing, manufacturing, distribution, and transportation data — in one place.

Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling
Utilize precise production planning. Simultaneous planning material, scheduling capacity, and optimization technologies allow for flexible plan creation and optimal set-up time for order sequence.

Transportation Planning
Identify and evaluate future transport needs with a survey and data-based step-by-step plan, where every transport movement follows a well-thought out algorithm. Boost the supply chain network’s efficiency from sales orders and purchases to deliveries.

Available-to-Promise Planning
Keep a reasonable amount of supplies within your warehouses to maximize the efficiency of the inventory space. Reduce “due soon” and “overdue” customer orders and re-plan the master schedule or material requirements if needed.
The main problem of the logistics chain is that the delivery time of products to the customer must be significantly shorter than the production cycle time or production period. To avoid this and guarantee a high level of supply service, normal and safety stocks must be kept as a set of component parts or at distribution centers.
Moreover, small changes during sales planning can cause big, and probably costly, changes in production planning. Therefore, the goal of using a planning tool is to create the most sales volume forecasts as precisely as possible.
SAP APO provides you with executive functions such as deblocking, confirmation, preparation of material, and movement of material for production orders, or purchase orders. You will get access to:
- High-performance liveCache technology.
- The global server integrated with multiple OLTP systems.
- Complex collaorative sales planning opportunities between companies.
- Simultaneous material and capacity planning.
- Optimization of resource utilization for multiple plans.
