Quick sizing for Demand Planning system

Hi All
Our team is required to do quick sizing for a SCM 5.0 Demand Planning system with Livecache. The DEV and QAS is already available but not being used at all but now we need the quick sizing for the production box. I have never done any quick sizing, detailed help is appreciated. I have gone through the service.sap.com/quicksizing for demand planning it shows 3 input tables only for Throughput sizing - Time Series, DP Run, DP Users. The APO functional guys entered some numbers but not sure what to do next as the Calculate Result shows information Iam not able to understand.
What I need from sizing is CPU processor, disk size, memory size, etc in clear detail. Please suggest, Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ali

Hello Ali,
First of all I am not a BASIS consultant and hence it would not be prudent for me to comment on hardware configuration reuqired in your case.
Secondly I do not understand what you mean by Quicksizer has been shut down. It is available online at <a href="http://service.sap.com/quicksizer">Quicksizer Tool</a> in Service Marketplace.
There is good amount of documentation available in the website giving details on the basis of computation of different parameters. Again SCM Hardware Configuration is not just dependent on the number of users but the functional requirements as well.
Thirdly - I cannot explain how SAPS concept is related to SCM Quicksizing. Per my understanding the SAPS concept is an hardware-independent benchmark of throughput which is an indicator of the processing capabilities required at peak loads. SAPS will determines the number and processor speed on your Application Server depending on the processor capabilities. Most hardware vendors provide datasheets with SAPS capabilities.
Suggest you go through the document "Background: Sizing mySAP Business Suite" under Sizing Guidelines >> General Sizing Procedures.
Thanks,
somnath

Release Offset for Demand Plans

Hi, We are trying to understand and use the release offset for demand plans. Basically we would like to hide the current period from supply planning. This seems to work in period one of the forecast. As time passes and we get to period two we would like the forecast to no longer be exposed to supply planning. This does not seem to be the case. We have tried to roll the forecast however that does not seem to resolve it. I believe we could delete the forecast lines in the "Maintain Demand Plan Screen" and then release the forecast however that is very work intensive. How should this be done?
Thanks,
Dave

Dear Jeevan,
Before you can use the invoicing plan with automatic settlement, the Evaluated receipt settlement delivery indicator must be set on the Purchasing Data screen in the vendor master record.
(If you wish to enter invoicing dates manually, this is not necessary.)
Purchase Order
SAP recommends using order type FO (framework order), i.e. a purchase order with a predefined extended validity period and a "reason for cancellation". The invoicing plan can adopt the validity period specified in the PO header.
PO items for which you wish to use an invoicing plan must have account assignment irrespective of whether a material with a master record, a material described by a short text, or an external service is involved.
The GR/IR control facility must be set up in such a way that no goods receipt (or, in the case of services, no service entry) is expected - only an incoming invoice. If you wish to have automatic settlement, you must also set the Evaluated receipt settlement indicator.
Customizing
Under Purchase Order --> Invoicing Plan --> in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
If you want to split it based on periodic than : maintain the invocing plan types :Maintain Periodic Invoicing Plan Types

Master data for demand planning

hi guru's,
what is the master data for dp, from were we get & how BI is helpful in this.
BW integration to apo dp.pls help me out
with regards,
chinni

Hi Chinni,
Data from R/3 to BIW is transfered through LIS, LO-CockPit's Info Structures.
This is how the flow goes on....
The transactions that are executed in R/3 are stored in the background tables.
Data from these tables will be copied to the info Structures(LIS, Lo-**** Pits).
A data source is generated basing on the infostructure.
Data source is then replicated to BI, The Data from the data sources is then copied to Info Cube.
Once the data is there in your Infocube,
you create Characteristics value combinations and then transfer the data from the Info Cube into the Planning Area.
Once you are done with demand planning, you can either transfer the data to SNP or the demand management in R/3.
If you are not planning to use LIS Structures, then you can download the data from the R/3 Tables to an excel sheet and upload them into BI.
The transaction code for creation of LIS Structures is: MC21
If you have a seperate BI server(Apart from one in APO), it is best pratice to load data into the BI server and then transfer the data to APO BI.
Let me know if you have any more questions regarding this.

Table name in Oracle for the User Mapping field?

Does anyone know the table name for the user Mapping field in EP6.0?
Thanks

Hi Alan,
why do you want to access the DB directly?! You can access the information via the Java API, which is in general the most secure way for the DB scheme is always "subject to change without notice"...

Using variables as table names. Ideas for alternative designs

Hi,
I am designing an application which uses synonyms to pull information from 'client' DBs via DB Links. The synonyms are created with a DB_ID in the name (example: CUSTOMER_100, CUSTOMER_200... where 100 and 200 are DB IDs from 2 separate client DBs.
I have a procedure which selects data from the synonym based on what DB_ID is passed to the procedure. I want to be able to run this one procedure for any DB_ID that is entered. I am now aware I cannot use variable names for table names and using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE doesnt seem to fit for what I am trying to do.
Does anybody have any suggestions or re-design options I could use to achieve this generic procedure that will select from a certain synonym based on the DB info input parameters? Thanks.

Hi
rules engine style with table that holds the logic or code SQL directly in the procedure and IF THEN ELSE with db_id. Latter is better because SQL is native and objects are checked every time procedure is compiled.
James showed the simplest way but this rather complex way gives you more flexibility between instances if ever needed.

What are the possible live cache issues turn up for demand planning?

HI all,
Can anyone tell me the issues that may arise iin live cache and how to ensure the performance and maintenace of live cache that a planning area is utilizing it.
if the utilization is high how to bring it down!!
Can anyone pls guide me on this!!!
Thanks
Pooja

Hi Pooja,
1) Accumulation of logs created during demand planning jobs will have an impact on performance
and affect livecache and hence to be cleared periodically
2) Livecache consistency check to be performance at planned intervals
which will reduce livecache issues
3) Through om13 transaction, you can analyse the livecache and LCA objects
and act accordingly
4) You can also carry out /SAPAPO/PSTRUCONS - Consistency Check for Planning Object
Structure and /SAPAPO/TSCONS - Consistency Check for Time Series Network related to
demand planning to avoid livecache issues later

What Tables to Back up for Hyperion Planning

Hi Gurus,
I need to backup the Hyperion Planning application database tables. I'm not sure what tables I should backup. Could anybody share the table names or some docs which could help me.
Thanks
-Rahul

Hi Rahul,
U have to take the schema backup of planning application instead of planning tables.
Hyperion 9.3.1 - 78 tables created in back end
Hyperion 11.1.1.1 - 83 tables created in back end
Taking Schema backup:
Using the export dump utility, export the dump file from Oracle
          c:\expdp hypapp/hypapp@hyperion dumpfile=pra.dmp
Note: the above dump file stored in the below mentioned location
               Oracle 10g : G:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\orcl\dpdump\pra.dmp
               Oracle 11g : E:\app\Administrator\admin\hyperion\dpdump\pra.dmp
Please get back to me in case of queries.

Using Table name as value for formula

I am using a table as a list for lookup in other tables using vlookup. The entire table is the source, so I'd like to do something like:
=Vlookup("value to lookup", TableName, 3)
However, it seems the entire reference including columns must be included. Is this so?
Thanks for your help.

I understand why they didn't do this. Many times you do not need to look up the values in the A column, but in the B or C column. This forces the novice user, and advanced users, to fully evaluate their expression. e.g. Numbers should not make any assumptions about your intentions.
A novice user might see experienced users that use the shorthand for examples, and assume that you MUST use the entire table, and they would go off making these very odd looking tables just to accommodate this misconception.
I wouldn't doubt if they tested this with a small set of novice users and got some very confused responses. then nixed it.
just my 2 cents from writing programs for those very users,
Jason

Planning book design for Demand planning

Dear Experts,
I am in the phase of design planning book
for example
20 Finished products
20 Semi finished products
5 planners
100 customer
Forecast is done on the basis of product, customer , plant and storage location
For the above scenario how many planning book i need to create , Please advise
Thanks in advance
Regards
Raj
Note:
For promotion planning do i need to create seperated planning book or just use the normal book for forecast
Edited by: Rajkumar Raju on Mar 16, 2010 11:35 AM

Hi rajkumar,
I am hoping that you are asking this question from an authorisation point of view and perfomanc point of view.
From authorisation point view, if you want to restrict the access of diferent stakeholders, you can create different selection ids and restrict the authorisation at that level.
for example, a different selection id could be created for the sales force and restrict their access at their usrd id/selection id level. similary for a business manger, access could be restrcited at a higher level.
from a performance perspective, SAP best practices suggets that you should create a different planning book for batch jobs.
laslty, depending upon your business scenario, you may use the standard planning book provided by SAP for promotion planning.
Let me know if this helps.

Display Planning data (for demand planning) in another UoM

Hi All,
The Planning area UoM is in "L". We have products whose base UoM is KG and some in L. In BW we convert all to L and load into Planning area.
The Product master is CIFed to APO and has the conversion between L and KG.
we have a requirement to view the planning data in Kilo tons i.e 1,000,000 KG.
Have maintained a Mass UoM called ZKT in CUNI transaction and maintained the conversion that 1ZKT = 1,000,000 KG. Also have defined an ISO code for the same.
Now when we load the data in the planning book the default UoM is L. When we go to user setting and maintain alternate UoM as Tons "TO", the system converts the data to tons and displays it. no matter what is the criteria used in header selection.
But when we try to display data as ZKT UoM get a error msg that conversion from L to ZKT is not possible as the conversion is not maintained in Product master.
But when we select material code (SKU) as the show condition and also in the filter condition use material code (SKU) and make a selection, the system converts the planning data from L to ZKT.
The question is when the system can convert L to TO at any character level as long as the product master has the L to KG conversion, why is not able to convert L to ZKT.
Why is the system able to convert L to ZKT for individual SKU's and only when the show condition is Material code (SKU).
Would appreciate your quick reply.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
We have same scenario right away in our system. Some of our material have a conversion in R/3 for example: 1Unit=10BULTOS, then CIFing into APO.
The scenario is that, once we planned already in APO- we dont want to go back in r/3, any changes should be remained in APO. What we did is that we maintained the CIF user setup. Maybe you can try this as well without affecting other Uom.
Cheers!

Data Entry matrix is greyed out for demand planning

Dear Experts,
Recently i am trying to work on new ides system (APO), when i try to open a exisiting planning book , the data entry matrix is grey out
May i know whats the reason , do i need to activate any key configuration i cannot able to enter any values in the matrix
Thanks & Regards
Raj

Hello Raju,
These are the steps to be able to enter data into KF.
1) Load a selection from the left side.
2) Once you have made the selection for which you want to enter data, click the "Pencil" icon on the left side top corner.
3) This will make the page white and let you enter data into the planning books.
4) Incase if you still see them to be greyed out, click the "Design" button on the right side.
5) Select the KF which you want to edit.
6) Right click the KF --> Selected Rows --> Input/Output.
7) This should make it editable, you can now click the "Live" button, save the changes and then repeat steps 1 thru 3.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
Mani
