Forecast plan

Hello,
Am new to IP i have a small requirement which am not able to undertsand how to do in IP.
Almost all fields are coming from Finance only one field ( forecast value) i need to get from IP. how to design this requirement .
Forecast value logic : The report would typically be generated in January (for the next April u2013 March financial year) and July (for the remainder of the current financial year) each year.
Please throw some light how i need to do ...is it possible with formula or i need to wrtite the code .?
Please tell me step by step how to fetch this .
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Hi,
  If your requirement is Automated planning, you can write your logic in a FOX formula as Andrey has mentioned.
But if you need to do manual planning, then you can copy actual year values to plan year by creating a Aggregation level on top of a Multiprovider containing plan and actual cube (typical IP scenario).
Kindly get back to us with more details on your requirement.

  • Use of forecast planning function in Integrated planning

    Hai ,
    Can I Know What is the use forecast planning function in Integrated planning.
    Give me One Example.
    Please tell What i hv to select in aggregation level, Filter, and Planning function for doing forecast.
    Regards
    Kishore.

    Hi,
    Filter is indeed used in IP similar to how planning package was used in BPS. There really is no difference 'conceptually'.
    What you have seen is the different options IP offers compared to BPS regarding planning function execution. You can execute planning function directly or using a planning sequence in an application (although in planning modeler, its only a planning sequence that can be executed, for eg., for testing purpose).
    If you just execute a planning function without specifying any restriction, it will operate on the entire set of planning data. Whether its a planning sequence or planning function, the data it operates on can be restricted by binding the various characteristics (or variables) using various DPs in the application. What kind of dynamic selection are you looking at?

  • Forecast Planning Function

    Hello,
    Please can anyone will help provide me the steps for creating the Forecast Planning function for IP. ( Any planning forecasting model is ok).
    I would like to create the forecast planning funtion in IP, sould like to know the steps.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are many documents around SDN about forecasting and the basic ideas are the same as for BPS and for IP. There is just something that I don't understand from your request. Forecasting is not a trial, and it depends by many statistical reason to use a model or another . Before to do my model, we did a deep study involving also some of my past remembering about statistic and regression at university, and we used other econometric software to check if my model was good. Anyway the forecasting function in SEM were not good enough so I had to use FOX.
    Maybe u are just running a demo ?

  • Forecast planning function BPS x BI IP

    Hi,
    I solve issue with reimplemtation BPS to IP, for now I solve how to recreated forecast planning functions. In BPS we use forecast method Automatic model selection and under condition, we have  key figure Entry conditions, but in IP I can´t find some conditions for key figures...

  • Forecast planning functions/sequences

    Hi,
    I want  to ask you for some advice in two issues. We want to create forecast that is based on actual data from Actual data cube and this forecast save to Forecast data cube (both cubes are in multiprovider)
    1) I created sequence , for that I use filter and planning function type forecast. Is it some relationship between historic data filter in forecast planning function setting and "classic" filter (part of planning sequence), It looks that u201Eclassic filter  is stronger than historic data filter, so no data from base cube are readu2026 When i use filter with small restriction some data are read...
    2) When I created forecast planning function, I use historic data filter for specification of base data for forecast (I used Actual data cube and another restrictions) but I can´t find anywhere some target field for restriction, so I dont know to which cube will be data saved and with which restriction...
    Thanks for some advice.
    Regards
    Petr

    Hi David,
    thanks for reply.
    If I understand good forecast planning function create data with same restriction as is used in Historic data filter only with another time horizont, Am I wright?
    So the data will be saved to the same cube where is "based" data - in my case Actual data cube and there no possibility to choose Forecast cube for it. So we will have to than use some copy function to copy data to Forecast cube...
    I found in help.sap.com some example of forecast scenario, it looks that in this scenario also version are changed from Actuals to PLAN_LIN, but maybe it s only my opinion...
    Function Type     Forecast
    Comments     Writes the data for forecast period to version PLAN_LIN. Reference data is read from version ACTUALS.
    Filter     Version = PLAN_LIN, Month = Jan 2007u2013Dec 2007
    Characteristics of Function to be Changed     Month
    Parameters of Function     Past: Jan 2005 u2013 Dec 2006,
         Past filter: Version = ACTUALS,
         Forecast period: Jan 2007 u2013 Dec 2007,
          Forecast parameter: Linear Regression

  • SAP Material forecast/plan upload option

    Hi Gurs,
    Please let me know the process to upload sap materials forecast/plan upload.

    H Mohammed Sameer,
    Do you mean to load forecast value in matrial master then,
    If  materail has no past consumtion data ia available.
    In Material master maintain the Forecast view, you can maintain the consumption values there ( it will also take you directly in to addition data and consumption data), after maintaining the historical consumption values , click on execute fore cast or after saving the same run fore cast through MP30 and which will give forecast figures for future.
    OR,
    Just go to the MM02 transaction, go to a plant specific view such as purchasing or MRP. Then click on additional values, then click on the "Consumption" tab.
    Then enter manual consumption figures for the historical months in the "corrected values" fields.

  • Reg doing forecast planning for first time

    Dear all,
    I need to run forecast based planning for the first time, I only have past consumption values and I want to use constant model
    How to run forecast moreover my alpha value is 0.1 and consumption values for past 10 months are 100,120,100,140,160,120,100,200,120,140,  what would be my forcast value If I run for constant model and how system calculates that value
    regards
    venkat

    Dear ,
    Please follwo the below steps for running forecast for Constant Model :
    In MM02  you should maintain the following paramters :
    1.MRP1-MRP4 view : MRP Type -VV, Planned delivery Time , Lot Size-EX  , Servicelevel Percentage -80-90% , Plannnig Startegey -10/20  as applicable , Procurement Type -F/E/X as apalicable , Period Indicator-M etc .
    2.In forcasting view , Please maintain the following :
    1.Forecast Model -D (Constant Model)  2.Period Indicator-M (flolows from MRP views) , Histry Period-10 ,Forecast Period -2/3 (How many months u want the system to forecast ) ,Period per sesson -10
    In Control Data : Initialisation -X , Model Selection -A , Traking Limit -4 , Reset Automatically -Marked  ,Optimisation Level -F
    Now , if you enter  the  smoothing factor : Alpha , beta , Gama and Delta each 0.30  , hit enter , it will re-set Appha 0.1-0.05 and Delta  0.30  because this two is applicable for Cosntant Model
    Finally save this  and execute Forecasting through single material in MM02-Forecasting View -Exectute Forecast Option  or Collectively total forcast thropugh MP38 .Result will be Foercast Qty , basic Values , MAD , Safet stock .
    Look around your detail formula which have used in Forecasting calcualtion based on the model selection in the below link :

  • CJ9L, calculation of cost forecast plan

    Hi,
    Prerequisites: Plan work 260 hours. Constraints on start and finish date. Distribution rule is equal to distribution according to factory calender. For scenario 2) actual work is 100 hours. Remaining work is 160 hours. Duration of activity is 1 year.
    Scenario 1) When calculating project cost forecast without any actual cost from time reporting, the cost forecast is distributed over the remaining duration of the activity.
    Scenario 2) When calculating project cost forecast with actual cost from time reporting, the cost forecast is planned on the same period as the forecast report is run. We would like this to be done in the same way as in scenario 1 above and distributed according to the factory calendar and not have all of the remaining cost on the last period of the activity.
    If someone out there has experience of this issue, we appeciate your advice.
    Best Regards ,
    Ioannis

    Hi Ioannis,
    Please see the online document
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/c2/1ad778462611d2b4310060
    94b9c9be/content.htm                                                    
    to see how the internal-processed activity should work in CJ9L.
    I do think, the described scenario 2 do not work in that way because the factors you described.  As far as I remember, the following factors are relevant for such case.
    1. If the activity is paritally confirmed. What are the actual finish and forecast finish (or remaining duration).
    2. Is the forecast work maintained.
    3. What is the key date of CJ9L.
    Generally there is no logic just to put the remaining costs in the last period, but it can happend that based on the factors above, which uses the last period as remaining time frame.
    Kind regards,
    Zhenbo

  • Sales forecasting, planning and actuals

    Hi all,
    How does one perform sales forecasting and planning  in ECC? I understand there is SIS which will allow us to retrieve our sales actuals data, but how do we input forecasting and planning?
    Thanks,

    For MTS scenarios, he normal planning path is:
    SOP (could be based on SIS) ---> Demand Management ---> MPS (optional) ---> MRP ---> Capacity Planning (optional).

  • Forecast/Planned Indepedent Requirements question

    Hi SAP Experts
    Is there a report in SAP that shows me Planned Independent Requirements and the Consumption (Shipped) of the planned quantities and the Assignment of future quantities?
    MD73 shows me this by Material.
    Need a Plant only as input and details for that Plant.
    Thanks

    Dear,
    For PIR information
    Pls try following
    Use table Along with PBIM and PBED tables, include PBHI - Independant requiremnts history and check
    First use PBHI to get Reqmts pointer, then entry Reqmts pointer to get other information via PBIM or PBED
    Also check ;

    Hi
    The standard report MCRE can show the requirement quantity and withdrawn quantities, this is a report of information system.
    Please make sure that the corresponding info structures S026 and S226 is set to be updated in customization OMOD.
    The report read the data from the 2 tables S026 and S226 and they are updated when the requirement quantitis are created by production orders and they are issued.

  • MRP Type VV - Forecast Based Planning

    Hi all,
    My company would like to look at MRP Type "VV" - Forecast Based Planning (under Consumption-based Planning) for FG production materials.    I've read quite a bit about the concept and some based set up to how it works.   We would like to base Planned Orders > Production Orders based on this type of forecast planning.   It seem that SAP advises this kind of plannig for Raw Materials but not FG.   Anyway, what I really need to know are the specifics of how you set up the master data (in the Material Master) to properly execute this type of MRP: like....
    MRP Type: VV
    Lot Size: EX
    Period Ind:  W
    Availability Check: 02
    Forecast Period:   12
    Periods per Season: 12
    Historical periods:  60
    other fields I'm not sure......
    RP Profile:  ??
    Forecat Profile:  ??
    what else......?
    Also, what is the recommended approach to convert this forecast plan into Planned requirements to be converted to Production Orders?   
    I appreciate any further information I can get on MRP Type "VV" and how it works.   I appreciate your input!

    Thanks for the info nudratmaab.    Can you provide further data on what to expect given this forecast.....say I pick MVGA (Moving Average Forecast)?  So I enter some consumption (say last 12 months) and run forecast (MP38).    The MD04 shows the average requirement per "W" bucket:
    02/23/2012     ForReq     W 08/2012                16-
    02/27/2012     ForReq     W 09/2012               116-
    03/05/2012     ForReq     W 10/2012               116-
    03/12/2012     ForReq     W 11/2012               116-
    03/19/2012     ForReq     W 12/2012               116-
    03/26/2012     ForReq     W 13/2012               116-
    04/02/2012     ForReq     W 14/2012               116-
    04/09/2012     ForReq     W 15/2012               116-
    04/16/2012     ForReq     W 16/2012               116-
    04/23/2012     ForReq     W 17/2012               116-
    04/30/2012     ForReq     W 18/2012               116-
    05/07/2012     ForReq     W 19/2012               116-
    The next part is where it is a little foggy for me.   For "VV" do I run WRP1 (Replenishment) or do I run MD02/ 03 (MRP) and then what is the ForReq converted to (or does it even convert)?   I'm looking to implement this for Production Planning Requirements for Finished Produced products (I need them to convert to PldOrd (Planned Orders) to be converted to PrdOrd (Production Orders) by production scheduler.   
    The second part of this is the Raw Material (BOM component) associated with these Finished Goods. THese BOM components are set up as MRP Type "PD" and Lot size "EX" and I was hoping that the FG MRP run would also do BOM explosion and drive requirements for the Raw Material as well.....I'm not seeing that.   
    I need professional / expert to tell me how this works:    So MRP Type "VV" & Lot Size "EX" for the Finished Goods.......and MRP TYpe "PD" & Lot Size "EX" for the Raw Material (BOM Component).....
    THanks again!!

  • Selecting the Planning Level for Statistical Forecast in S&OP on HANA

    Hello together,
    we currently face an issue regarding the statistical forecast in S&OP on HANA:
    The customer wants to implement an S&OP process containing the two steps statistical forecast (automatically calculated) and sales forecast (manually determined). The planning level of the statistical forecast should be higher than the planning level of the sales forecast, i.e. the statistical forecast is calculated on a higher planning level and then disaggregated to be an input for the manually determined sales forecast.
    Since it doesn't seem to be possible to disaggregate any key figure below its base planning level we need to have the lower sales planning level as base planning level in all key figures, including the input and output key figures of the statistical forecast.
    When running a statistical forecast with a defined forecasting profile, the planning level used for the forecast seems to be the base planning level of the input/output key figures defined in the forecasting profile.
    However, we need to define a higher planning level for the statistical forecast in order to have a better data base for recognizing trends and sesonality. In APO DP it is possible to define the planning level for the forecast when running/scheduling the forecasting job. Is this also possible in S&OP on HANA? Can we define the planning level for the forecast in the forecasting profile or when running the forecast from the Excel AddIn? I tried to use the field "Filter" in the forecasting profile as it listed all the planning levels (as well as a lot of other things, we don't know where they come from), but the forecast was still carried out on the base planning level.
    Do you have any other idea where to define the forecasting planning level that is different from the base planning level of the input/output key figures?
    Thank you in advance,
    Jonathan

    Hi Bert,
    thank you for your fast answer. I checked the forum again and found this post:
    Question about Statistical Forecast
    However, I don't really get how the disaggregation is meant to work; the suggestion seems to be to calculate a forecast on an aggregated level, i.e. with input and output key figure with an aggregated base planning level, and then disaggregate it "somehow".
    Do you have any idea how this disaggregation might work and what other steps I have to consider?
    It seems as if I'd have to define a whole bunch of new key figures and have more than one output key figure but no input key figure for the statistical forecast, which doesn't make sense in my eyes.
    Actually I was looking for a solution where I can define my forecasting profile with both input and output key figure on the lower planning level and then insert the level I want the forecast to be done at either in the profile as well, or even more flexible when running or scheduling a forecast. Defining more key figures any time I need another forecasting level does not appear very comfortable. Is it meant to be like that or is there another way to reach the goal mentioned above?
    Cheers,
    Jonathan
    Edit: The mentioned thread contains some valuable information on how to disaggregate key figures. However, the really tricky decision is how to define the disaggregation ratio.
