Adding a attribute in Demand planning book.

Hello Experts.
We do have a "location" as a attribute in various planning book, now we have to add it another planning book, where its need from business.
Could you please let me know what procedure has to be adopted to add a existing attribute in another planning book ?
Regards
Rahul Chitte

Rahul
The changes that you need to make may be very simple or too complex based on the answer to one question - Is the master planning object structure the same for both planning books ( that is the planning book that has location attribute and pb that does not have location attribute). . If the MPOS is the same then your changes can be done easily. The mpos associated with a pb can be found by going to the pb in /n/sapapo/sdp94 and right clicking on it and displaying details.
If the mpos is the same, then all you have to do is go to the planning book in /n/sapapo/sdp8B , go to characteristic tab and drag the location attribute from right to left and hit continue and save. Thats it you are done.
But if the mpo structues are different , then you first have to add the location characteristics to the mpos. For this you have to deactivate the mpos and when you do this you will lose all your cvc's . So you have to backup the data before you deactivate the mpos. Then add the location characteristic and activate the mpos and reload the data to the mpos. This is a very complex and critical process .

Unfreezing the Months in Demand Planning book.

Hello Experts,
User has limited access of change mode (6 months) in a particular demand planning book. User wants to extend the change access horizon to 10 months.
Please guide me what necessary steps to be taken so that user has access to do changes for next 10 months instead of 6.
Thank you in advance, points assured .
Regards
Rahul Chitte

Hi Rahul,
We really need more information here to help you.
Let me try and help in guiding you towards that.
Question: Is the user able to see 12 months (May to Apr), but able to change only 6 months (May to Oct ), or the user is able to see only 6 months (may to oct) and unable to see next 6 months (nov to apr).
Scenario 1: User is able to see all 12 months but able to change only 6 months.
Possible Cause - There is no standard setting that lets lockout few periods alone. However pls do check for some default macros that might be setup to lockout specific periods. Look for the use of function cell_input() in the macros within the planning book.
Scenario 2: User is able to see only 6 months.
Possible Cause - The time bucket profile is set for only 6 months.
How to check this?
Go to /sapapo/sdp8b go to dataview tab. Look for the TB Profile ID (Future). Make a note of this name.
Go to /SAPAPO/TR30 - "Maintain Time Buckets Profile for Demand Plng and Supply Network Plng". In this txn give that name. Then click periods. You should be able to see how many months are configured. You need to change the number of periods here. This is assuming you have sufficient time series created to go thru all 12 months.
Pls revert back with your findings incase the problem is not resolved.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

Business Objects and Demand Planning Book

Has anyone combined the functionality of Business Objects and Demand Planning into a single view? The requirement is to provide enhanced analytics (near real-time) within DP. We are on version 5.0. Ideally, it will a single view (table and graph -similar to standard layout) where both DP and BO are called with the same selection. I have a method to access the data near real time. What are the options to acheive this? Any ideas will be helpful.
Regards,
James

Thanks Dave. I created a virtual cube in APO to connect BO. I can retrieve the data fine. I was wondering if there is a way to integrate BO and the planning book so that I will have one view to see both applications. For example, I called /zsapapo/sdp94 and get the planning book and BO analytics. Essentially, I want the BO to replace the standard graphics in the planning book. So, I would have a table at the top and BO dashboard at the bottom of the planning view. Any ideas how to achieve this?
The other question is around using a function module or BAPI to connect a virtual cube to LC to retrieve real time information. Are you aware of any drawbacks to using a function module or BAPI to retrieve data instead of the DataSource?

SNP Material view planning book - Upload forecast

We are using SNP heuristics for infinite planning, we have a key figure to maintain forecast. once we load the products into the planning book, we would like to download into local file which is possible and modify the numbers and re upload into the planning book. Advise if there is any option to upload the data from xls file to planing book.
In demand planning book, there is an option to download and upload however not able to see this option in SNP material view planning book.
Appreciate any help in this regard.

Thanks Ken for checking on this.
We will use copy and paste to load the data into SNP material planning book.

Release Demand Planning to Supply Network Planning

1. /SAPAPO/MC90 - Release Demand Planning to Supply Network Planning
In the above t.code i am not able to change the target planning area- it has greyed out
2. I need thisto be changed becuase i have defined my own snp planning area.
any clues how to do this >
reg
dsk

hi dsk
Dont worry about the greyed out target planning area in the "release :extended" option. It is the default. In general if you release the forecast from a demand planning book , it means that you are releasing the foreacast values from the time series live cache to order live cache. That is the forecast value which was just a quantity value in the time series live cache will now be associated to a specific category.
Once you release the forecast from DP to SNP you should be able to see the forecast value in all the SNP planning books that have forecast key figure. The forecast is not released to a specific planning book, it is released to the order network and will be available to view in all SNP planning books. So just go ahead and execute MC90 . After that you can make sure if the values are reflecting in SNP by going to /n/sapapo/rrp3 and checking the material . You should be able to see values under cateogry "FC Req". After this you can try loading the material in planning book and u must be able to view the results.
Thanks

In Planning Book ICON - Demand Planning

Dear Expert
In Planning book in DP
There is a ICOn Load Data (FOLDER) what for it is used , when i press the button the forecast data appear in the display which mean does it pulling the data from Live cache to planning book or from BI
There is one more ICON `
Header information settings
when i click this i can see all my charecteriscs and when i select it is dispayed in the top
how can it be used in bussiness point of view
Thanks & Regards
Raj

Dear Raj
In the planning book, you can select more than one product at a time. When you click on one product, in planning book it will show you the data for particular product. In same case business users want to see the all the information together for more than one product.
In this case we can select these multiple products and use this load data icon which will load the data for all the products together. For example
               Month1     Month 2     Month 3
Product A     Demand          10          10          10
Product B     Deamnd          20          20          20
When you select both the products and load the data by using load icon you will see Total demand as below in the planning book.
               Month     1     Month 2     Month 3
          Demand          30          30          30
Now with the Header information, you can select the respective characteristic on which you want see this data disaggregated.
Please let us know if you have any more doubts regarding it.

Demand on VC material not visible in SNP planning book

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to plan VC (Variant Configuration ) materials in SNP at the group level ?
I will explain the scenario more in details below
I have an VC material say X. Material X has end product Y attached to it (material variant). When material X is cifed to APO, it appears as configurable product in APO & is a top level product. Now when I create a demand on material X through DP, the demand appears in product view (RRP3). However the demand does not appear in the SNP planning book nor it gets selected during background planning run. The system is configured as Variant Configuration & not CDP.
Is it possible to plan material X in SNP ? If possible how can the demand be read in SNP ?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
One of the limitations of Characteristics Based Forecasting is, CBF results can only be used in PPDS and not in SNP, hence it is not possible to plan that material X in SNP. Even though you use MC90 transaction which is release DP to SNP, but the data will not be available in SNP
That material X will be planned only in PPDS, there are two ways to plan, those are
1. one way is by releasing CBF results to active version using MC90 transaction, during this release, you should maintain consumption group in release settings and in product master, in this case you have to use Forecast Check/Allocation check as a part of ATP/GATP, here you can not use CTP or MATP
2.the other way is by releasing CBF results to inactive version using MC90 transaction, during this release you should not define consumption groups, generate the dependent requirements in inactive verison using heuristics in PPDS , and convert dependent requirements from inactive version to Forecast - active version using /SAPAPO/DMP2 transaction, in this case you can use MATP/CTP as a part of GATP

Looking for a book on APO - Demand Planning Configuration

Could anyone please recommend a book I could purchase that specifically teaches APO Demand Planning Configuration? Any book or manuals that you could point me to would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The book SAP SCM by Daniel C Wood is reasonable. Not all the detail, but touches on DP, SNP and PPDS and if you use this in conjunction with the online help for the latest release.

Create manual demand in planning book

Please, can someone tell me how to create manual demand in the interactive planning book. Thanks!!!

Hi David,
Follow the below steps to enter manual demand in planning book.
1) Use transaction /sapapo/sdp94
2) Either you can use selection window or selection profile to load your data(product location combination in a version) for uploading demand.
3) In selection window, select the product, location and version and enter
4) Once your selected items are seen, double click on the location product combination for which demand needs to entered.
5) The data will get populated into the planning book
6) Meanwhile, select your planning book and data view which contains the relevant key figure for which manual demand needs to be entered (say like forecast, demand, dependent demand etc.,)
7) Goto change mode
8) Then enter the suitable demand values in the key figures in the planning book
9) Once the data are entered, save the changes.

DP - Sales and Demand Forecast values in the Planning book were increased.

Dear DP Experts,
The Sales and Demand Forecast values in the Planning book were increased. Is there a way to tract who user could have made the changes? Can we view the last change like in the document flows?
Thanks,
Glason

hi Glason
if the values have been changed by the user community, I am not sure if there is a way to find out. However if there is technical flaw in data processing, you can check for the steps as posted in the above post.
We faced a similar issue in our project. We were not able to trace the user ids under which the values were changed. However since we retain the 15 days of back up, we were able to check that the values were changed on a certain date but not the user ids. but we were still able to restore the original values.
As an additional step, we also developed macros to store (in the form of alerts) the exisitng value and the updated value incase the there was a manual change in the Sales forecast and other editable key figures. This ensured that there was a check if there was a manul change. we also ensured that these macros were not executed during the background jobs.
SAP also provides a standard SAP APO Change Monitor add-on which can be used to track chnages to the key figures. Please refer to note 1308968 for further information on the add on.
let me know if this helps.

How to manually enter forcast/demand in SNP Planning Book

Hi experts,
Kindly help me there are two questions on my mind. First
1. How to create manually forecast in SNP planning book? and also in RRP3? (if the product is in house it automatically creates planned order, if externally procured PREQ but how about forecast using product view?
2. If the forecast is in the past but I want to upload that in the SNP Planning book?
Even if I change the period structure date it does not reflect the past dates in the planning book. Since the planning book of SNP is standard how am I be able to change the planning book time bucket start date.
Thanks and Best Regards!!!!

Hi,
in /SAPAPO/SJKTST04 you set the type of order FCST, then you planning area and version, keyfigure to populate (your forecast keyfigure, probably 9ADFCST), the order type (usually FA)
In the details you set product, date to start, in horizon - the number of orders to create, if you set 10, you'll get 10 orders starting from your start date).
Unfortunately through here, you gan create orders with fixed quantity only and also for only one product/location combination.
If you already have DP available, even for testing I find it more easy to release forecast from there.
For your second question - at least for 4.1 (I don't have a 5.0 system to check) you cannot have past dates in a column other than "Initial"
Hope that helps,
br,
Mikhail

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.

I can understant ( rather I know ) how to relate a badi (Enhancement spot ) to a macro & but please guide me how to define a row of a planing book : such as how to define the row 'Avg Weekly Forcast' of planing book in a single varriable as 'ZAVGWKFST' to capture it at badi in the parameter I_T_LINES[]
(component - FELDH).
To create a custom Button in a planning book & how to program.
I have many broken links while I try to know it by myself.

Hi amitabha,
Please find below the detailed steps to define a planning book:
A planning book defines the content and the layout of the interactive planning screen. Planning books are used in Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning. They allow you to design the screen to suit individual planning tasks. A planning book is based on a planning area. You can create several user-specific data views in a planning book. In this step, you create a planning book for Demand Planning.
Procedure
1.     Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP SCM menu     Advanced Planning and Optimization  Demand Planning  Environment  Current settings  Define Planning Book
Transaction code     /SAPAPO/SDP8B
2.     Enter the planning book DP_001 and choose Create.
The Planning Book Wizard dialog box is displayed.
3.     Make the following entries:
Field name     User action and values
Planning Book     Enter the planning book DP_001
Planning book text     Demand Planning
Planning area     Select the planning area DP_001 and choose Enter
Manual Proportion Maintenance     X
Promotion     X
Univariate forecast     X
4.     Choose Continue.
5.     Assign the following key figures from planning area to the planning book by using drag and drop or choose Add all new Key Figures to add all key figures:
Description     Value     Comment
History     9AVHISTORY     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Forecast     9ADFCST     Relevant for Scenario MTS and VMI
Promotion 1     9APROM1     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Forecast (addition.)     9AAFCST     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Planned Price     9APRICEFC     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Sales Forecast     9AREVFC     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Production (Planned)     9APPROD     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Manual Correction     9AMANUP     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Additional Field 1     9AADDKF1     Relevant for Scenario VMI
Additional Field 2     9AADDKF2     Relevant for Scenario VMI
Additional Field 3     9AADDKF3     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Additional Field 4     9AADDKF4     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Additional Field 5     9AADDKF5     Relevant for Scenario MTS
The Proportional factor APODPDANT key figure is automatically added to your planning area when you create the planning area. You do not have to add this key figure yourself and assign it to the planning book in this step. When you create the respective view, this key figure will be automatically there for your selection.
6.     Choose Continue.
7.     Assign the following characteristics from the planning area to the planning book by using drag and drop:
Description     Value
APO Location     9ALOCNO
APO Product     9AMATNR
Brand     9ABRAND
Sales Organization     9AVKORG
APO Destination Loc.     9ALOCTO
     The characteristic 9AVERSION (APO Planning Version) will be added to the planning book automatically after you complete this step.
9.     Choose Continue to go to the Data View tab (the Key Fig. Attrib tab is available in the change mode only after you have completed the planning book).
10.     On the Data view tab; enter the following values:
Field name     User action (Scenario MTS)     User action (Scenario VMI)
Data view     DP_Standard     VMI_Standard
Data view description     Demand Planning     Demand Planning
TB profile ID (future)     DP_4Weeks_5Month     DP_4Weeks_5Month
TB profile ID (history)     DP_12Month     DP_12Month
Status     3 (Changeable)     3 (Changeable)
11.     Choose Enter.
12.     Select Visible and select the date as of which you wish the past planning horizon to be visible when this data view is opened.
13.     Choose Continue, and assign the following key figures from the planning book to the data view for either the MTS or the VMI scenario, keeping the same order as in the table:
Make-to-Stock
Key Figures      Description
9AVHISTORY     History
9ADFCST     Forecast
9APROM1     Promotion 1
9AAFCST     Forecast (additional)
9APRICEFC     Planned Price
9AREVFC     Sales Forecast
9APPROD     Production (Planned)
9AMANUP     Manual Correction
9AADDKF4     Additional Field 4
Vendor-Managed Inventory
Key Figures      Description
9AADDKF1     Additional Field 1
9AADDKF2     Additional Field 2
9ADFCST     Forecast
14.     Choose Complete.
15.     When the Planning Wizard prompt appears, choose Yes to complete the planning book and data view.
16.     On the initial screen, change the planning book you have just created by choosing Edit.
17.     If you are installing the VMI scenario, continue with step 21 (entering a free text for the key figures).
If you are installing the Make-to-Stock scenario, repeat steps 9 to 12 to create the following views:
Views     View Description     Key Figures
DP_CLP     COLLABORATIVE DEMAND PLANNING
          History
          Forecast
          Forecast (additional)
DP_RELEASE     DEMAND PLANNING - RELEASE VIEW
          Manual Correction
18.     On the Data View tab page, specify the following TB profile IDs for the DP_RELEASE view,
Field name     User action and values
TB profile ID (future)     DP_12Month
TB profile ID (history)     blank
19.     Create the remaining views for the Make-to-Stock scenario according to the steps 9-12:
Views     View Description     Key Figures
DP_LOGISTICS     DEMAND PLANNING - LOGISTICS VIEW
          Forecast
          Production (Planned)
DP_SALES     DEMAND PLANNING - SALES VIEW
          History
          Forecast
          Forecast (addition.)
          Planned Price
          Sales Forecast
          Manual Correction
DP_PROP     DEMAND PLANNING - PROPORTIONAL FACTOR VIEW     Proportional Factor
To modify the proportional factors manually, you need to create a separate data view containing only the APODPDANT key figure to control the authorization to change these factors. This key figure is a default value in the view and is thus invisible, so you do not need to assign any key figure from the right list in this view.
20.     Choose Complete.
21.     Go to the Key fig. attributes tab, select the FreeText radio button and make the following entries for each key figure. Choose Save Setting after entering the data for each key figure (depending on your scenario).
Key Figures     Free Text     Relevant for scenario

Steps to create macros in macro wrokbench:
3.7     Creating Macros (SAP APO)
Use
You can use advanced macros to perform complex calculations quickly and easily. Macros are executed either directly by the user or automatically at a predefined point in time. When defining advanced macros, you work in a special desktop environment known as the MacroBuilder.
In total, four macros are created in the Demand Planning building block. They are all defined for the planning book DP_001. You create three macros for forecast calculation according to the following instruction. The chapter Creating the Macro for Consensus-Based Planning describes how to create the alert macro for consensus-based planning.
In the DP_STANDARD view of the planning book DP_001, you create two macros:
The first macro is used for the standard and consensus-based planning. The system calculates the arithmetic average of Statistical Forecast, Sales Forecast and Logistics Forecast, the result of average forecast data plus Promotion Data is inserted in the Final Forecast cell. It enables the user to consider the forecast input and the promotion plan from different departments within the company. The planner can make manual adjustments and enter the final agreed forecast into the Final Forecast cell. All of this information can be shown in the planning book screen.
The second macro multiplies the Final forecast data with the Planned price to calculate the sales volume. The third macro is an alert macro used for highlighting exceptional situations in consensus-based planning.
In the DP_SALES view of the planning book DP_001, you create the fourth macro. This macro multiplies the Final forecast data with the Planned price to calculate the sales volume, which is the same as the one in the standard view.
3.7.1     Creating Macros for the Standard View
1.     Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:

Hello Debadrita,
Function Module BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 or BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL can help you.
For BAPI BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL, the parameters are:
1) PLANNINGBOOK - the name of your planning book
2) DATA_VIEW - name of your data view
3) KEY_FIGURE_SELECTION - list of key figures you want to read
4) SELECTION - selection parameters which describe the attributes of the data you want to read (e.g. the category or brand). This is basically a list of characteristics and characteristic values.
BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 is very similar to BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAI but is only available from SCM 4.1 onwards.
For the complete list of parameters, you can go to transaction SE37, enter the function module names above and check out the documentation.
Please post again if you have questions.
Hope this helps.
