APO Product Master: New Freely Defined Attribute

Dear Experts,
We know than in the spro, you can defined up to 5 free attributes for the product Location master than appear in the Tab EXTRA.
We would like to create a new one, I mean, a 6th one. The issue is that, even we are able to create it in the spro, we do not see it in the Product Master and therefore, we are not able to maintain it.
Does anybody have the same issue? Wich kind of posibilities do we have?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Susana

I concur with the previous reply.
This is not possible.
I have used all the 5 additional Fields in the past in DP Macros to store & use values on product-locations that are not available in Standard APO Product screen. But the Limit is 5 and this can be seen in /sapapo/matkey table and /sapapo/matloc tables as well (via Trnx. SE11).
However In addition, you can create 'Z' Tables in ABAP. Alternatively you can save Additional masterdata in your own customer created TimeSeries Planning Area of which the Characteristics will be Product and Location only to save anything additional you need in TS Planning areas. Alternatively a BI InfoCube can be created with same characteristics. The Userexit can then Grab data from this InfoCube or Z Table to do whatever you want.
Typically it is common that Demand Planning MACROS use it in their Code Logic. Remember, none of the additional attributes are used in the Standard Planning Algorithms / Logic of SNP, PPDS, DP or TPVS. You have to write Custom Logic which is possible via Demand Planning Macros in Planning Books created on that Planning area.
So the Best Option for Additional Fields is a TimeSeries Planning area which DP Macros can be built to use. Of course the Standard 5 can be in Product Master (/sapapo/mat1) and then additional to whatever number you want can be in the TimeSeries Planning area.
Hope you find this usefull. Reward points if you do.

How could a down-mix APOs receiving multi-channel audio data from the application

Hello,
Now I am integrating my DSP algorithm to the APO whichs convert to 7.1 input to stereo output(we call it virtualization), but the endpoint just supports stereo input. My first question is can my APOs receiving a 7.1 input data from
application when the endpoint only supporting stereo input. The second question is if the scheme is feasible and what should I do.
Thanks

Ok so i order to help anyone who is interested.
The only ironic solution to this problem i found was to use a plugin called xto7 to convert the xml to the old fcp7 format.
i then imported this into premiere pro.
this was then able to export an OMF that when imported into logic 10 that was using the correct 6ch mono setting as separate tracks.
Insane but it works until Apple fixes the incorrect meta data import in FCPX that sets the xml export to the default import that is always surround.
this is the only way i was able to send stems with all the edit points and fades for the sound editor.
If you don't have premiere lying around you maybe able to do it with fcp7 too we just didn't have it in this studio.
Fingers crossed Apple fixes the fcpx xml export.

APO Basics

I have been doing a lot of research and am confused on the communication flow between APO, live cache, and R/3. I have read about CIF, but the more I read the more I get confused. I am also curious when, and if it is customizable, the data flow takes place, and how quickly this process is.
I know that there are Business System Groups and that they should be assigned in the APO system in relation to a system that contains the master data server, but I donu2019t really understand why or how.
Within APO the live cache will run the algorithm and pull in the key findings from R/3 to APO, but are the key findings where the planners can place constraints?
I would really appreciate any further explanation.

I know that there are Business System Groups and that they should be assigned in the APO system in relation to a system that contains the master data server, but I donu2019t really understand why or how.
BSG's are like identity numbers. You just define them in both source and destinations locations so that both can recognize each other.
"One or more logical systems that belong together from a business point of view. A business system group represents a unit within a company or organization that can be defined according to legal, economic, administrative or geographic factors.
The objects in a business system group are uniquely identified by a uniform numbering system."
Within APO the live cache will run the algorithm and pull in the key findings from R/3 to APO, but are the key findings where the planners can place constraints?
Livecache is just a database. SAP designed this "meta-ram-database" which is like a combination of RAM in a computer and database that can also store data. Imagine a computer. It as RAM and it has a hard disk( database). Every time you execute some thing, the system stores temporarily in RAM and then puts back to hard disk. This slows down processing in planning. SO for faster planning, the planning information is save d in RAM *** database called livecache.
How ever livecache by itself does not have capability to pull information from R/3. You need CIF for that.
Hope this helps.

General Discussion - Why to choose APO over R/3 for planning?

Hi All,
Why do we choose APO over R/3 for planning? What are the inputs or other factors that make APO a better planning tool?
Are the factors which make APO a better tool not available foe R/3 planning?
Thanks in advance
Changed subject suitably.

All Open Sales Orders in APO system

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement in which we have to get all open sales orders in SAP APO system for 2013. Please suggest if there is some way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Manjunatha,
RRP1 will list all the requirements: sales orders, forecast, dependent demand, putchase order release, etc.
Same than in all the ALV reports, you can change the layout, sort, use filters in order to only see the document that you need, etc.
Here you can an example of my system, where you have sales orders in RRP1:

Open sales orders key figure in APO

HI Gurus,
Can anyone please throw some light as to where i need to be looking in this scenario. Our BW resource extracts open sales order quantity from ECC and loads into APO DP. The issue that i'm seeing is the open sales order quantity key figure is not getting updated properly in APO. For example to begin with we have a quantity of 800 EA in the period of 12/2014 (we go by fiscal period and in this case 12 would represent September 2014), 01/2015(October 2014), 02/2015(November 2014). The customer service group has deleted the quantity completely from period 12/2014 (September 2014) in ECC. But when i look in the planning book in APO, i can still see the quantities in the periods of 12/2014, 01/2015 and 02/2015. I was expecting the quantity from the period of 12/2014 to not showup in APO as it has been deleted in ECC. Our BW resource also confirms that he has loaded it properly in APO. Where can i start looking to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Ravi

Dear Subhash, Thanks for your reply and i apologize as APO DP is new to me and i'm picking up things, can you please guide me to which tcode should i be going and checking this. Also reloading the planning area can you xplain a little more please
Okay i have checked in the tcode /SAPAPO/TSCUBE and this is setup in the process chain for us which runs once a month on the opening day of the period. I hope this is what you were referring to?
Under the key figure assignment in TSCUBE tcode, i see that the 'Add data" check box is not checked under Target area.

GATP in APO and Free Goods Pricing Records in R/3

We have set up Free Goods in SAP R/3. These free goods are granted based upon a series of access sequences in pricing.
We also have our Order Entry system using GATP on our APO box. In that APO instance, we have set up a large number of product substitutions to occur at order time.
When an item is ordered that is NOT subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are granted by R/3 and placed onto the sales order.
When an item is ordered that IS subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are NOT granted by R/3.
Why are the Free Goods being ignored after the substitution? We have Free Goods records in pricing for BOTH items, and neither one is granting the Free Goods.
Is this a bug, a feature, or an oversight ?
Any help in this area will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Hi John,
GATP in APO does not supports Free Goods.

Issue in transfer of data from ECC to APO

Hi All,
I have a requirement of transferring data from ECC to APO. I am using EXIT_SAPLCMAT_001 fro this purpose. The problem is, I need to transfer the data of a field that is not present in cif_matloc but present in /sapapo/matloc.
How should I proceed...Please help....this is an urgent requirement
Thanks & Regards,
SriLalitha

Hi,
you may want to go to the transaction /SAPAPO/SNP_SFT_PROF
Determine Forecast of Replenishment Lead Time
Use
In this field, you specify how the extended safety stock planning determines
the forecast of the replenishment
lead time (RLT). The following values are available:
Supply Chain
The system determines the RLT forecast using the supply chain structure by
adding the corresponding production, transportation, goods receipt, and goods
issue times. If there are alternative procurement options, the system always
takes the
longest
option into account.
Master Data
The system determines the RLT forecast from the location product master
data.
Master Data/ Supply Chain
First, the system determines the RLT forecast from the location product
master data. If no RLT forecast can be determined, the system determines the
forecast using the supply chain structure (as described under
Supply
Chain
Dependencies
You can retrieve the replenishment lead time forecast yourself by using the
GET_LEADTIME
method of the Business Add-In (BAdI) /SAPAPO/SNP_ADV_SFT.
Replenishment Lead Time in Calendar Days
Number of calendar days needed to obtain the product, including its
components, through in-house
production or external
procurement.
Use
The replenishment lead time (RLT) is used in the enhanced methods of safety
stock planning in Supply Network Planning (SNP). The goal of safety
stock planning is to comply with the specified service level, in order
to be prepared for unforeseen demand that may arise during the replenishment
lead time. The longer the RLT, the higher the planned safety stock level.
Dependencies
The field is taken into account by the system only if you have specified
master data or master data/supply chain in the RLT: Determine
Forecast field of the safety stock planning profile used.
Hope this helps.
The RLT from ECC is in MARC-WZEIT which is transferred to APO in structure /SAPAPO/MATIO field CHKHOR.
May be if you maintain the setting in the profile, you may get the value in RELDT.
Thanks.

SHA2 Algorithm support in Adobe Acrobat 9

Hello,
1) Does Acrobat 9 supports SHA2 Hash algorithms while signing PDF file?
2) As per my understanding PDF is signed using below approach
    Step 1. Take the PDF contents
    Step 2. Calculate the Hash of the content
    Step 3. Then sign(Encrypt) the hash. (here again we calculate the hash)
So we are hashing the content twice.
If I use SHA1 algorithm in Step2 and SHA2 algorithm in Step3, Adobe 9 is able to verify the signature. But if i use SHA2 algorithm in Step1 & Step 2
Adobe 9 is saying "Content altered....."
Why so?
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Priyanka

SHA2 was only added in Acrobat 9.1. Also, the Microsoft Base CSP is needed for SHA2 support - Base CSP is included in Vista and Windows 7, but in XP it needs to be downloaded as a seperate addon.
How are you setting the values in your SecurityHandler? Off the top of my head, I believe in order to use SHA2 to hash the content (your "Step 2") you need to use AES-256 as your encryption algorithm which required a different cryptVersion be set in your SecurityHandler structure.

PReqRel can not be seen in product view in apo

Hi expert
when we have stock transfer process, we can see purchase requistion for the material in procure plant in product view
in apo. And we can see TrRes. for this material in supplying plant. But we can not see related PReqRel in supplying plant in
apo. I don't know why. Which Material dependent object should be marked if we want to transfer PReqRel for the material?
Thank you in advance : )

Liting,
Data is right. This is the 'classic' case of missing Source of Supply
Open the Preq in rrp2 and see if a source of supply has been assigned. See if there is a valid transport activity in the preq. Look for available Transportation lane and ensure one exists.
If the problem is with incorrect Master Data, correct the data, delete the original preqs manually and rerun heuristics.
Let us know how you progress.

WEB UI Status profile TPM transfer to APO

Hi,
We try to upgrade our CRM system from 4.0 to 5.2 at a customer. Now, the following problem came up with the transfer of promotions to APO;
We created our own status profile (ZTPM) which we configured in a way so that promotions were transferred to APO (This worked in CRM 4.0).
When we created a promotion and put the status to Unconfirmed (which in CRM 4.0 transfers the promotion to APO) and save, the necessary Bdocs are created and said to be fully processed. When you look in the error log for Bdoc Type MKTPL_MKTELEM, click on error and long text, it says that the promotion does not have a status which permits to be transferred to APO.
(Error message from SAP: BDOC status does not allow transfer to APO; Message no. CRM_MKTPL_APO_INT110 Diagnosis: The promotion has a status which does not allow it to be transferred to APO. Procedure: Check the status settings and either change the settings to allow the transfer to APO or change the status.
In customizing however, we have defined that for user status Unconfirmed (E0004) the business transaction CAPO is allowed. The same applies for status Released. Both statuses we have tested.
What happens in the WEB UI concerning the status profile? Has anything changed compared to CRM 4.0?
I hope someone can help me out. Points will be rewarded if we are helped, because we are dealing with a show stopper here!
Best regards,
Simone Schuitemaker

Hi Simone,
I am posting this replay just for other people:
In this case the transfer was failing because of two active implementations of BAdI CRM_MKTPL_APO_INT. There should be at most one active implementation for any BAdI.

How to activate the ATP buckets in APO?

Hi,
We are in the process of changing the ATP buckets in our APO system.
I know the Path in the configuration:
Advanced Planning and Optimization -> Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) -> General Settings -> Maintain Global Settings for Availability Check
On the left side you will get three sections:
Global Settings
ATP Buckets (Active)
ATP Buckets (Planned)
I can change the values in (example field Shift Receipt Bucket) the ATP Buckets (Planned) section and save it with a transport. Now the question is how to activate the buckets. Is there another transaction for this? SAP Help doesn't specify how to activate.
Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi,
To activate the buckets one need to check the box 'Current' in the options under ATP Buckets (Active). Also, as referred earlier by Dipthi do look up the documentation under:
SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SAP APO) -> Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) -> Settings for Global ATP -> General Settings for Global ATP ->Definition of Buckets for ATP Time Series ->Activation of Bucket Parameters for ATP Time Series.
The details are as beneath:
Use
If you change bucket parameters (see Definition of Buckets for ATP Time Series), these must be activated subsequently for the ATP time series.
Features
The system activates the bucket parameters in the following situations:
Since activation in each of the situations described below leads to downtime, you should change bucket parameters less frequently than other Customizing settings.

If you set up a system again, you should process the bucket parameters before you create the active planning version. The bucket parameters are thus activated automatically.
·        Initializing SAP liveCache for all clients using transaction LC10
In the case of an upgrade, you should process the bucket parameters before activating SAP liveCache. The bucket parameters are then activated automatically.
·        Executing the report /SAPAPO/OM_ATP_REBUILD_TS
The system only rebuilds the ATP time series here.
In this case, the SAP liveCache administrator must execute the following steps:
                            a.      Shut down SAP liveCache.
                            b.      Replace the com-file registration:
                                                  i.       At command line level, go to the SAP subdirectory of the SAP liveCache installation.
                                                ii.       Under Microsoft Windows, save the original registration files SAPAPO.lst and SAPATP.lst (UNIX: libSAPAPO.lst and libSAPATP.lst), for example, by renaming or copying to another directory.
                                               iii.       Under Microsoft Windows, rename the registration file SAPAPO_REBUILD.lst as SAPAPO.lst (UNIX: libSAPAPO_REBUILD.lstas libSAPAPO.lst) or copy it to another directory.
                                               iv.       Under Microsoft Windows, rename the registration file SAPATP_REBUILD.lst as SAPATP.lst (UNIX: libSAPATP_REBUILD.lstas libSAPATP.lst) or copy it to another directory.
                            c.      Launch SAP liveCache.
                            d.      Execute the report /SAPAPO/OM_ATP_REBUILD_TS.
                            e.      Shut down SAP liveCache.
                              f.      Replace the com-file registration by replacing the registration files SAPAPO.lst and SAPATP.lst (UNIX: libSAPAPO.lst and libSAPATP.lst) with the original versions under Microsoft Windows.
                            g.      Launch SAP liveCache.
