Abstract

The usual way to load data into SAP APO™ for Demand Planning is using the info cubes. The info cube consists of the info objects ‘key figures’, ‘characteristics’ and ‘time characteristics’, figure 26.1. The info cube is therefore the analogue to the combination of the planning object structure and the planning area. In SAP APO™ the characteristics 9ALOCNO, 9AMATNR and 9AVERSION are mandatory for the info cube. The info area is merely an entity to group info cubes. The central transaction for the SAP BI™ related structure set up is the administrator workbench (transaction RSA1), figure 26.2. Here the info objects, the info cubes and further entities which are described later in this chapter are defined. The time characteristics, e.g. months, days or weeks (0CALMONTH, 0CALWEEK, 0CALDAY), are provided as standard objects and should not be changed. Own key figures and characteristics can be created if there is no appropriate standard object. The processing of the objects in the administrator workbench requires in most cases the right mouse click. When creating an info cube, a pop-up asks whether you want to create an info cube for APO or BW. The right answer is BW.
