Planning in SAP can be SiMPLe

An App with incredible UX integrating the entire planning chain so you will never go back to planning in spreadsheets.

From S&OP loading and analysis, demand management, MPS and/or MRP for any scenario or material (reorder point for spare parts and consumables, MTO or MTS for finished goods) to purchase planning and conversion into purchase requisitions. With batch expiration analysis and variable calculation.

Main functions

S&OP, Demand Management and Forecasting.

It is possible to load and analyze sales forecasts (for finished products) or consumption forecasts (for inputs or spare parts) manually in a user-friendly interface or by means of spreadsheets for massive updating.
By configuring analysis variants, it is possible to query information structures (standard and non-standard) for plan vs. actual comparisons, summations, averages, graphs and even customize reports on any logistics transaction within SAP.

Planning Monitor

The detailed, multi-material planning situation over the desired time horizon and period. Detailing all stock types, requirements, receipts, valuation and alerts on failures or over-coverages.
For planning materials by order point (e.g., spare parts), intuitive icons to quickly identify the situation or simulated coverage projection, based on historical consumption.
For manufacturing scenarios, you count on the analysis of the capacity situation for the balance in the jobs.

Planning functions

With SiMPL you can execute planning (MPS, MRP or MRP Live) for each of the selected materials. Analyze the result according to different selection rules (e.g. without purchase requisitions) and at various levels when BOMs are contemplated.
It is possible to download the information, analyze the planning in monetary values and analyze overdue documents that affect the planning.

Projection of lot maturity

Planning master data

The planning results depend to a large extent on the quality of the data in the planning views of the materials. Therefore SiMPL ensures the possibility to visualize and modify this data.
With advanced functions for key fields such as lead time, reorder point or maximum stock, where it is possible to automatically and massively recalculate based on SAP historical actual data.

Benefits

Learn about the advantages of implementing our apps

For the IT department

No maintenance or support

With the Warranty, Support and Upgrades service, Innova is responsible for maintaining compatibility with the latest versions of the system, as well as support and clarification of doubts with the end user.

Initial support

We know that planning in SAP can be a challenge, as part of the implementation we contemplate an onboarding process to list the planning scenarios of the company, recommendation of master data, identification of possible gaps and clarification of doubts for a 100% use of SiMPL.

Reduce development requests

Requests for development of reports, queries and queries are reduced or disappear.

Secure

With SAP standard authorization objects and some of the App’s own authorization objects, it ensures that control and segregation of duties is maintained through SAP standard user and role management.

Easy to implement

You just need to import the installers and transport them to each client, like any other SAP change, and deploy the front-end component at your convenience (SaaS, on client web server, Fiori, SAP BTP).

For the entire company

Avoid planning mistakes that cost money

Stock failures, overstocking or stock expiration are all very costly scenarios for a company. With SiMPL, you can anticipate and take action to maintain healthy stock levels for the company.

Unparalleled user experience

In planning within SAP, user experience is not an aesthetic issue. It is one of the main barriers to the use of SAP functions, and that is why users resort to spreadsheets or third party software with the complexities of any integration. With SiMPL you take advantage of all the potential and functionality of SAP, in a friendly and understandable App for anyone.

Information consolidation

Streamline and simplify information management with SiMPL. You can get a consolidated view of the information you need on a single screen, eliminating navigation between multiple transactions. From inventory management to production planning, SiMPL is the solution.

SiMPL has you covered

Our application covers all planning scenarios supported by SAP, from MPS and MRP to MTO and MTS, materials based on requirements, materials with reorder point and special stocks. This means that no matter how complex your planning process is, SiMPL has the tools you need to take your materials management to the next level.

Batch Expiration Projection

An indispensable function for food, pharmaceutical and any other industries with perishable materials. Being able to anticipate risks of stock loss allows companies to save thousands of dollars in destroyed material or, in the best case scenario, negotiated in unfavorable conditions.

Arquitectura

SiMPL has an ABAP component within SAP (ECC or S/4HANA), and a front-end component that can be deployed at your convenience in either of these options:

Option 1: SaaS Architecture

The easiest and fastest option. From Innova we take care of deploying and serving the front-end component from our private cloud in Amazon Web Services, and you are free of installation, updates and maintenance. Communication via VPN site to site or SAP webdispatcher is required.

Requirements:

SAP ECC version 6.0 or higher, up to the latest version of SAP S/4HANA.
Site to site VPN configuration or SAP Webdispatcher.
Possibility of web service publication from SAP ECC

Option 2: On-Premise FES Architecture

It is deployed on a front-end server managed by the client company. You are in charge, although we accompany you throughout the deployment until the productive implementation. Recommended in cases where there is no SAP Fiori server and SaaS deployment is not feasible.

Requirements:

SAP ECC 6.0 up to the latest version of SAP S/4HANA.
ABAP Backend Component (Installed via OT import)
Possibility of web service publishing from SAP ECC or SAP S/4 Hana.
FES (Front-end Server) and SSL certificate associated to the domain/server (only in case of On Premises installation)

Option 3: FIORI On-Premise Architecture

It is deployed on your SAP Fiori server and appears as another App in your SAP Fiori launchpad. If you have SAP Fiori already configured, this is the recommended option. Applies for separate servers and for embedded SAP Fiori.

NOTE: In case of lower versions and limitations to perform Upgrade, consult with Innova viability about the version of the components.

Requirements:

SAP ECC version 6.0 or higher, up to the latest version of SAP S/4HANA.

ABAP Backend Component (Installed via OT import)
SAP ERP – SAP Fiori communication via configured Gateway.
Minimum versions of SAP Fiori components:
- SAP Gateway 740 SP 09 or higher (same in back-end [SAP ERP] and front-end [SAP Fiori]).
- SAP UI 754
- SAP Fiori Front-End Server 6.0 or higher
- SAPUI5 1.71

Option 4: BTP On-Premise Architecture

The application is deployed using Cloud Foundry container technology in SAP BTP, from where it consumes the services (SOAP or OData) published on the SAP server, via SAP Cloud Connector.

Requisitos:

SAP ECC 6.0 up to the latest version of SAP S/4HANA.
ABAP Backend Component (Installed via OT import)
Communication between SAP BTP and the SAP ERP server via cloud connector must be configured.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, with the purchase of the application, any SAP user can use the application, according to the assigned permissions.

No, no activations or installations of additional SAP components are required. Upgrades are also not required.

No, SiMPL is a tool designed to integrate with the SAP ECC or SAP S/4 Hana system.

Yes, SiMPL enables the MRP Live option in the case of SAP S/4 Hana implementation.

SiMPL uses a layered inventory analysis algorithm with FEFO logic. Basically, it discounts the planned inventory requirements of the first lot to expire and, if at the exclusion date (which can be before the expiration date if you wish), inventory exists, it is considered at risk of expiration.
