Whether to use Trade Management 3.0 or Accelerated Trade Promotion Management

[mahesh_kakani]

Dear Experts,

We are working on a proposal where initially client wanted to implement SAP Trade Management 3.0.

Now the business has come back asking to implement only TPM+TCM+TFM due to time constraints of project implementation.

We need your inputs whether 1. we should customize the TM 3.0 solution or whether 2. we should propose Accelerated trade promotion management solution(ATPM).

As of now we don’t have any expertise in ATPM hence need your views whether the said requirement can be achieved in BW IP using ATPM or shall we stick to TM 3.0 customization.

Now, If we decide to opt for option 1, i.e. customize TM 3.0, we will have to adjust the data architecture to enable it for TPM+TCM+TFM only, can you help suggest the feasibility of this solution?

In addition to that we would have to move pricing data from TNPR to DTP directly, is that a probable solution maintaining the planning data for TPM and other layouts in synchronization?

Quick responses would be really appreciated. Looking forward to your suggestions and inputs.

warm regards
