New Design of the SNP Optimizer Profile and SNP Optimizer Window (enhanced)
Use
As of SAP APO 3.1, the user interface design of both the SNP optimizer profile and the optimizer window in interactive SNP planning is clearer and more user-friendly. There are also new functions and settings available.
SNP Optimizer Profile
The possible SNP optimizer profile settings have now been divided into several tab pages to provide a clearer layout. This means there is now a clear distinction between linear optimization methods and discrete optimization methods for you to choose between. In the header data of the profile you first choose one of the methods. You are then able to activate the constraints for linear and discrete optimization on two separate tab pages, and on additional tab pages you choose model parameters, solution methods, and so on. Options that are unavailable for the method you have chosen are grayed out.
The SNP optimizer profile also has the following new functions and settings:
- Safety stock (which until now could only be set in master data): You are able to define whether you want the optimizer to take safety stock into account. If you do want it to, you are then able to specify whether you want the penalty costs calculation to include deviations from the safety stock as an absolute value or as a percentage.
- Shelf life (which until now could only be set in master data): You are able to define whether you want the optimizer to take into account the shelf life of products, and if so, whether you want to continue using the product after it has expired (has passed its shelf life), or whether you want to dispose of it. If you do want to continue using it, you have the option of specifying whether you want to optimizer to use the procurement costs that have been maintained for the location product as penalty costs, or whether you want it to use penalty costs that are not dependent on the product.
- Fixed material consumption: If you have chosen discrete optimization methods, you are able to define whether you want the optimizer to take into account fixed material consumption in the production process model (PPM).
- Stock on hand: You are able to define whether you want the optimizer to calculate the stock on hand on the basis of the average stock on hand or on the basis of the stock that is on hand at the end of the period.
- Heuristic start solution: If you want to find an initial valid solution quickly, you are able to specify that you want the system to start running a heuristic that does not use linear programming.
- Lot size planning: You are able to define whether, as part of lot size planning, you want the optimizer to take cross-period lot sizes into account and how you want it to process setup statuses (see also the release information on cross-period lot size planning).
- Discretization horizon: You are now able to specify whether you want the system to consider discrete constraints for all time buckets (days, weeks, and so on, as defined in the planning buckets profile), or a concrete horizon that you define independently of the planning bucket profile.
Optimizer Window in Interactive SNP Planning
The window of the SNP Optimizer that you access from interactive SNP Planning, has also been given a more user-friendly design. The following new display options are available:
- New tab page Message log: This tab page displays messages from the previous optimization runs. Before now, this function was only accessible from the Optimizer Log Data transaction.
- The Optimization tab page now displays information on interim solutions during the optimization run.
