Model& Version

In APO, you can create and maintain planning versions for a supply chain model for simulation purposes.
There is only one active model (000) with one active version. The active planning version is 000. A model
is used to describe the strategic view of the master data in a supply chain from a planning perspective.
The planning version is always used for tactical simulation. The planning version is always based on a
model.

Refer the standard Model 000 and Version 000.

1.Master Planning Object Structure

MPOS: Master planning object structures are prerequisites for creating planning areas in Supply
and Demand Planning. In Demand Planning you can assign any characteristics that exist in the
system to the master planning object structure. A master planning object structure contains plannable
characteristics for one or more planning areas. Characteristics determine the levels on which you can
plan and save data.

The planning area specifies the following:

Unit of measure in which data is planned

Currency in which data is planned (optional)

Currency conversion type for viewing planning data in other currencies (optional)

Storage buckets profile that determines the buckets in which data is stored in this planning area

Aggregate levels on which data can be stored in addition to the lowest level of detail in order to
enhance performance

Key figures that are used in this planning area

Settings that determine how each key figure is disaggregated, aggregated, and saved

The assignment of key figures to aggregates

Configuration:

for Demand Planning or Supply Network Planning, specifically:

Which time buckets are used for planning

How many periods of each time bucket are used

The sequence in which the time buckets appear in the planning table

5. Planning Books
A planning book determines the content and layout of the interactive planning screen. You use planning
books in Supply Network Planning and Demand Planning. They allow you to design the screen to suit
individual users planning tasks. A planning book is based on a planning area. There is no restriction on
the number of planning books you can have for a planning area. Within a planning book, you can also
define one or more views. Views allow you, for instance, to tailor the information displayed for various
users (for example, to display different key figures for different users
