The Advanced Planner and Optimiser (APO) is the software from SAP
dedicated to supply chain management. This book addresses the question
of how to implement APO in a company. It is written from a long years'
experience in implementation projects and provides project managers and
team members with the necessary know-how for a successful implementation
project. The focus is on introducing modeling approaches and explaining
the structure and interdependencies of systems, modules and entities of
APO. Another concern is the integration with the R/3 system(s), both
technically and from a process point of view. Since APO projects differ
significantly from other SAP projects, some key issues and common
mistakes concerning project management are covered.
