Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the integration of R/3 routings and production orders into APO, specifically the management of alternative and parallel sequences. It clarifies that during the R/3 to APO transfer, parallel sequence operations are included in APO's sources of supply. Alternatively, operations in alternative sequences are not automatically transferred but can be mapped as alternative modes using customer exits. The note provides steps for configuring and transferring these operations into APO, stressing that only APO-relevant operations appear in the APO order. For comprehensive configuration, refer to related notes on PPM and PDS setups.
