SAP APO Sizing Considerations
• The SAP APO configuration examples represent 3 different sizes of APO
landscapes, based on practical experience. The medium configuration
represents the most common type. These examples are intended for a first
budgetary proposal, when no detailed data quantities are available.
• Sizing based on user numbers is not possible. The 3 examples are therefore
based on business figures like characteristic combinations and different
order types.
• A well-founded APO sizing has to be done by defining detailed data quantities
for the SAP Quicksizer tool. To determine the data quantities, the operating
department and the SCM consultant need to collaborate closely.
• Rough data estimations without existing blueprint about APO components
(e.g. DP, SNP, PP/DS ..), locations, business processes to be implemented
cannot not lead to a valid sizing result. Even minor changes in the input
parameters can change the result considerably.
