Question:
Hi everyone
Does anyone know how 3rd party market intelligence (Nielsen and Dun and Dradsheet for example) can be integrated into the SAP DP forecasting process (e.g. in a key figure, or other way)? And how is this information loaded. Does it come via BW or loaded directly?
Thanks
Answer:
All the external DP data which is not planned in SAP APO coming from any 3rd party system has to go through the APO BW path.
There are 2 ways
(1) You can build interfaces to upload into APO BW Info Cubes
(2) Extract from 3rd party system into flatfiles and then load the files into APO BW and then transfer to APO DP
