[former_member757961]

Hello experts,

Hope you all are safe and doing well.

I have 5 questions I hope experts will give their precious time to answer.

Q.1 - On what level we planning in APO Demand Planning Product / Location or else and why?

Q.2 - If a business come to us with 10000 product and the business wants to implement SAP SCM APO. How we will explain complete process like how we will do planning (History to Forecasting) for all your products.

Q.3 - In life cycle planning we choose similar product to generate forecast for a product which don't have history right but what we don't have similar properties product? What process we will follow to generate forecast for that product or how to do it?

Q.4 - If we choose 4 different forecasting model for a particular product it will give different different output (Forecast values) then how to analyze which values are much reliable or which values should be choose for further planning?

Q.5 - If a business have 10000 general product (Non sessional) how much product we should choose for the forecast? and why? (i) If business recently implemented SAP. (ii) SAP already implemented. How much product can we take for forecast in one time.

Thanks in advance.
