SNP Planning Area Aggregates

Aggregates is nothing but storing the data at that particular aggregate level,say for example 9ALORE is aggregate at your location and resource level.

If some of keyfigures assigned to this aggregate then you can store the data at this combination.(example 1) your capacity value of resource at plant level).

If you add new keyfigure in planning area that keyfiure by default assigned to 9ABAS level ,then you need to assign this keyfigure to your particular aggregate level by using table /sapapo/tspaplob.

IF you add any time series Key figure, in SNP planning Area then it will automatically assigned to all the Aggregates.
---------
Purpose of Aggregates:

Data can be saved in aggregates as well as on the lowest level of detail. An aggregate contains a subset of the characteristics in the master planning object structure.

the purpose of aggregates in APO is : to speed up data access and therefore increase performance.

Below aggregate are provided by sap with standard SNP functionality as soon as you make your MPOS SNP possible it add below aggregate in your PA.

9ALA
9ALORE
9AMALA
9AMALARE
9AMALO
9AMALORE
9AMAPR
9AMARE
9ARE
9AREPR

you can also create your own aggregate in a master planning object structure of APO by clicking with the right mouse button on the master planning object structure in S&DP Administration and choosing Create aggregate.

Another purpose for SNP aggregates is for data backup purpose:

 Data can be extracted only for existing SNP aggregates. Existing SNP aggregates are:

• 9AAC (9AACTNAME - APO Activity)

• 9AACPR (9AACTNAME, 9APPMNAME - APO PPM/PDS Name)

• 9ALA (9ATRNAME - APO Transportn Lane)

• 9ALO (9ALOCNO - APO Location)

• 9ALORE (9ALOCNO, 9ARNAME - APO Resource)

• 9AMA (9AMATNR)

• 9AMALA (9AMATNR, 9ATRNAME)

• 9AMALARE (9AMATNR, 9ARNAME, 9ATRNAME)

• 9AMALO (9ALOCNO, 9AMATNR)

• 9AMALORE (9ALOCNO, 9AMATNR, 9ARNAME)

• 9AMAPR (9AMATNR, 9APPMNAME)

• 9AMARE (9AMATNR, 9ARNAME)

• 9APR (9APPMNAME)

• 9ARE (9ARNAME)

• 9AREPR (9APPMNAME, 9ARNAME)

Only the characteristic/characteristic combinations contained in these aggregates may be used in the InfoSource, transfer structure and transfer rules.
