Production Campaign Statuses
Use
Every production campaign in SAP APO has a status that documents the campaign’s current processing status. The campaign status is derived from the status of the orders contained in the APO campaign.
The integration functions between SAP APO and SAP R/3 enable you to process confirmations of R/3 process orders in the corresponding APO orders as well. The statuses of the APO orders change depending on the processing status in SAP R/3.
For more information about integration, see Campaign Integration Between SAP APO and SAP R/3 .
By means of the order status, you can control the following in SAP APO:
Whether or not orders may be removed from a campaign
Whether or not a campaign may be deleted
This control function is important if you process campaigns in the SAP R/3 System. You can, for example, prevent orders that have not yet been settled in SAP R/3 from being removed from a campaign.
The following campaigns and orders exist:
In SAP APO, campaign APO_PCM1 with the three orders APO_O1, APO_O2, and APO_O3
In SAP R/3, the corresponding campaign R3_PCM1 with the orders R3_O1, R3_O2, and R3_O3
Order R3_O1 has already been
Confirmed
in SAP R/3. The corresponding APO order APO_O1 therefore has status
Started
.
If APO_O1 is removed from the APO campaign by mistake, R3_O1 would automatically be removed from the R/3 campaign, too. However, you do not want this to happen since R3_O1 has already been confirmed and the costs still need to be settled.
To prevent this, you can specify in APO Customizing that orders that were started must not be removed from campaigns.
Prerequisites
You have established the integration between the SAP APO System and the SAP R/3 System. For more information, see Integration of SAP APO and SAP R/3 .
You process campaigns in the SAP R/3 System.

If you want to use campaign statuses to control whether or not orders may be removed from a campaign or whether or not a campaign may be dissolved, you must make the corresponding settings in Customizing for
Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling
. To do so, choose

Features
Relationship Between the Statuses of the R/3 Order and that of the APO Order
The status of the R/3 order changes the status of the APO order. The following statuses are important with regard to removing orders from campaigns and dissolving campaigns:
R/3 Order |
APO Order |
|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Campaign Status
The campaign status is derived from the status of the orders contained in the campaign.
Campaign Status |
Description |
|---|---|
|
The campaign contains: No orders Only orders that have neither been released nor started |
|
The campaign contains at least one order that has been released and no order that has been started. |
|
The campaign contains at least one order that has been started. |
Graphical Campaign Status Display
The campaign status is also displayed graphically at the campaign bar in the DS planning board. The campaign bar is displayed as follows depending on the campaign status:
Campaign Status |
Campaign Bar Display |
|---|---|
|
Colored, no hatch |
|
Colored, diagonal stripe |
|
Colored, diagonal crosshatch |
You can use the /SAPAPO/PCM04_PT_PRS
Business Add-In to replace the standard graphical campaign status display at the campaign bar with your own displays.
To implement this BAdI, go to Customizing for

Removing Orders from Campaigns and Dissolving Campaigns
In Customizing, you can specify under which conditions orders must not be removed from a campaign and campaigns must not be dissolved. Depending on the settings, the system proceeds as follows:
Customizing Setting |
System Activity |
|---|---|
|
The system removes orders from campaigns and dissolves campaigns without taking the order status into account. |
|
Once a campaign contains at least one
|
|
Once a campaign contains at least one order that has been
|
|
Once a campaign contains one order that has been
|
The system considers these Customizing settings in the following planning transactions:
During manual planning:
In the DS planning board
In the campaign transaction
During automatic planning:
By campaign optimization
By the
Dissolve production campaigns
heuristic
Example
This example describes how the R/3 order status affects the APO order status and how the APO order status, in turn, affects the campaign status. The campaign bar display, on the other hand, depends on the APO campaign status.
You have created campaign PCM1 with the planned orders PLO1, PLO2, and PLO3 in the SAP APO System.
Campaign PCM1 has status
Created
. The campaign bar in the DS planning board has
no hatch
.
Campaign PCM1 is transferred to SAP R/3. The planned orders PLO1, PLO2, and PLO3 are converted into the process orders PRO1, PRO2, and PRO3 in SAP R/3. They are released in SAP R/3. All APO orders now have the status
Released
.
The status of campaign PCM1 changes from
Created
to
Released.
The campaign bar in the DS planning board is now displayed with a
diagonal stripe
.
Production starts in SAP R/3 and the first process order PRO1 is
Partially confirmed
. The APO order PRO1 now has status
Started
.
The status of campaign PCM1 changes from
Released
to
Started.
The campaign bar in the DS planning board now shows a
diagonal
crosshatch
.
