Use

As customer and as supplier, you can display the TPOP forecast for a product on the Web user interface of SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC). The TPOP forecast is a forecast for a product that the customer procures using third-party order processing (TPOP). The customer orders a TPOP product from the supplier, who sends the product directly to a customer of the customer.

The customer generates the TPOP forecast in Service Parts Planning (SPP) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO) and assigns it to a supplier. SAP APO saves the TPOP forecast in time series data management (time series type ICH01, key figure ICHFORECAST).

Prerequisites

If you, as customer, have installed SAP APO and SAP SNC in different systems and you want the TPOP forecast to be available in SAP SNC, you must have sent the TPOP forecast from the SAP APO system to the SAP SNC system.

Activities
