Spare part planning (SPP) is one of the component of the SCM
APO - Advance planning optimization is also a one of the component of the SCM

Hi Anajali,
First of all, I want to thank your quick response. That was great.
But I'm still wondering why to choose Spare Parts Planning instead of Advanced
Planning and Optimization. Could you give me reasons for this?
I'm a bit confused.
Many thanks,
David

Dear David,
you cannot choose between APO and SPP because SPP (Service Parts Planning) is
part of APO as DP or SNP:
- SCM
- SCM-APO
+ SCM-APO-SNP
+ SCM-APO-FCS
+ SCM-APO-SPP
+ SCM-APO-PPS
+ SCM-APO-ATP
+ SCM-APO-INT
+ SCM-BAS
+ SCM-EWM
+ SCM-ICH
+ etc.
Why to choose SPP please read following link:

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tibor

Hi David,
SPP is more specialised for Automobile industries and it comes under APO. It is
available under SCM 5.0 and you have to buy licence for using it.
Now the million dollar question is why should one go and spend more money to
use SPP.Well it all depends how much of your intricate business you want to map
in SAP.
Caterpillar and Ford are the first company to implement APO-SPP as they figured
out their full complete business scenarios will not work unless they have a
sophisticated industry specific product such as SPP.
I was one of the lucky people to have worked in SPP for 2 years. Trust me SPP is
vast and a different product in itself ,it has different planning
techniques,forecasting etc..
Tibor has given the link for SPP,it has exhaustive information about SPP.
Cheers,
KD

products). It has some diferent forecast models, e..g., for sproadic demand,
and uses fixed distribution networks (Bill of Distribution) instead of any
dymamic sourcing. It has some other unique functionality like inventory
balancing between locations and surplus and obsolescence determination.
It is also designed to make decisions based on rules rather than manual
intervention but has configurable thresholds for management by
exception.

Re: Why to choose SPP instead of APO - MCA's Service Inventory Optimization
Tim Andreae Apr 26, 2009 5:32 AM (in response to David Fernandez)
David, you have gotten some good responses on why SPP is different from APO. I
will add that SAP has partnered with MCA Solutions' Service Inventory
Optimization (SIO) solution for forecasting & inventory optimization for asset
intensive environments. SIO complements & extends SPP and has supported
integration through SAP enterprise services.
You can learn more on our [Eco-Hub page|
https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/serviceoptimization], and if you
click on the details tab you can see collateral and case studies for successful
implementations in SAP environments at KLA-Tencor, Tellabs, and Rockwell
Collins.
Please let me know if you need additional information,

to service parts, and transparency throughout the supply chain, right from the
moment demand occurs through to the delivery of the product.
It also has the integrations other than SAP APO e.g SNC etc.
Thanks,
