The major issues with the data reconciliation between APO and BI is:
1) In APO, the planning does not use source system but in BI, the materials are compounded to source system based on the nature of multiple R/3 regional boxes feeding data to one regional SAP BI instance which in turn consolidate with other regional BI instance to consolidate data at Global BI instance. There are incidents where same SKU may exist in 2 regional R/3 source but refer to different material.
2) In APO, the planning does not plan by base UOM or ISO UOM, it always plan in PUM. Hence when data is send to BI, the conversion factor must include converting base on PUM to the base UOM and then to the ISO UOM or CORE UOM.
