Supply Chain Planning Interfaces (LO-SCI) 

Purpose

In the standard SAP system, you can perform complex supply chain planning operations from forecasting through production to sales and distribution. SCPI complements the SAP supply chain planning solutions by allowing you to send data from the SAP system via open interfaces to external systems for optimization. After optimization, the data is returned to the SAP system and channeled to the appropriate applications for further processing.

SCPI comprises the following open interfaces:

·        LO-DP/DRP (demand planning and distribution resource planning interfaces)

·        PP-POI (production planning interface)

·        PP-SOP (sales & operations planning interface)

·        SD-TRA-IN (transportation planning interface)

ALE technology and synchronous remote function calls are used to transfer the data.

 

Selection Criteria:

Select this component if you want to optimize:

·        Forecasting, distribution planning and deployment activities necessary for demand planning and distribution resource planning

·        Master data and transaction data necessary for production planning

·        Sales and operations planning activities 

·        Shipment data for transportation planning
