Allocation Logic_Department expenses across branch & product

Dear All,
We have one requirement where all the Department expenses has to be allocated to Branch and than to LOB and finally to Product.
Kindly suggest what should be approach when we are suppose to follow 3 level of allocation.
Thanks in advance

You can also try with the calculation scripts . Assuming the following kind of hierarchy in your outline
Department
    Dep1
        Branch1
              LOB1
              LOB2
              LOB3
        Branch2
              LOB4
              LOB5
    Dep2
         Branch3
               LOB6
               LOB7
Supposing you have loaded the data at Department , the following script will distribute the data , first into Dep1, Dep2 . within Dep1 Branch1 and Branch2 . Within Branches LOB1, LOB2 etc.,
/* Department to all departments */
Fix(@Relative("Department",2))
    "Actual" = @Parentval("Department")/@Count(SKIPNONE,@Children("Department"));
EndFix;
/* Departments to Branches */
   FIX (@Relative("Department",3) )
              "Actual" = @Parentval("Department")/@Count(SKIPNONE,@Children( @Parent(@Currmbr("Department"))));
   EndFix;
/*Branches to LOBs */
FIX (@Relative("Department",4) )
              "Actual" = @Parentval("Department")/@Count(SKIPNONE,@Children( @Parent(@Currmbr("Department"))));
   EndFix;
Here Products are not taken , you can try keeping products and apply the above logic with the generation 5.

Allocation of expenses

Hello All,
I had one interesting scenario from my client on allocation of expenses. This was possible using standard BCS functionality but was not straightforward. So would like to listen from you all on your solution before we discuss mine. The solution I proposed has one drawback but fulfills the requirements.
Requirement is to allocate certain expenses(X,Y and Z) to one particular item (A) for multiple "products".(Product is a sub assignment) . X,Y and Z expenses have no values for sub assignment "Product.
Rules of the game are:
1. Value in items X,Y and Z should remain as it is i.e.,no negation / reversal of these values
2.Allocation should happen based on Turnover Transaction data in combination with "Product"
2A. If source values (X,Y and Z) are in Posting Level (PL) 00,01, it should happen based on Company Turnover
2B. If source values (X,Y and Z) are in PL00,01, and there is no Company Turnover available in transaction data, it should happen based on Group Turnover
2C. If source values (X,Y and Z) are in PL10, allocation should happen based on Group Turnover.
Let me know if the scenario is not clear and needs more explanation. Looking forward for your response.
Thanks

I am much more familiar with reclassifications than allocations, but am certain the results from either can usually be obtained.
A method layout with trigger of items X,Y and Z, then different source and target is necessary. Then the specifics may be defined as needed.
It is most likely 2 allocations or reclassifications are needed because for group level allocations or reclassifications it is necessary to use posting level 30 document.

Allocation error when I create production order

Allocating Standard and Variances of Production Costs into CO-PA

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask you about the process of allocating eg. humal labour into CO-PA.
Lets have an example:
We have planned to spend 10 hours on some action. But actually we have spent 20 hours.
When we allocate our time from some PC, we have to allocate actuals, that means 20 hours, which will come into CO-PA online.
At the end of the period we run Production Order Settlement and find the variance.
What will now happen do distinquish between the planned costs and variances?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Kindly Regards,
Radek

Hi,
I am not really sure about your question
We have planned to spend 10 hours on some action. But actually we have spent 20 hours.
When we allocate our time from some PC, we have to allocate actuals, that means 20 hours, which will come into CO-PA online.
At the end of the period we run Production Order Settlement and find the variance
The 20 hours will only flow to Production order and not to COPA online.
Whatever the difference between the planned actual vlaues in the cost centers, they will come a cost center variance report. It does not effect any where else.
But if there are any balances left out (difference between the total cost collect to the cost centers and the cost obsorbed to production orders etc), this values need to be assessed to COPA using COPA Assessment cycles
I hope i touched your question.
Please do let me know if your question is different. If it is different, please rephrase your question
best regards

Product Allocation: Removing a Material from Product Allocation

Hey folks!
I am new to the forums, so hopefully some of you sharks will bite on this one. I work for a consumer products company and we're having issues with product allocations.
We have had a material on product allocation for the past 3 months. We used a allocation rule that is modeled off of the S140 rule on the basic data of the material view. However, our production has now ramped up sufficiently to produce this product and provide normally.
1) How do we remove the material from product allocation?
We deleted the rule from the basic data view, but is there anything else we need to do? There are many remaining open sales orders that get the error "No Feature Combination exists for this selection error". I have ran rescheduling (V_V2) and have also ran the SDRQCR21 to rebuild requirements, but it still remains with this error.
2) Is there something we have to do with the infostructures? Something we have to do in MC64 or MC94?
3) Do we need to go through each sales order and delete the line item and replace the line item to get the normal ATP to function (we would rather not do this as we have EDI information connected to each line item)
4) Is there another report out there I need to run that I just do not know about?
Any help would be great. We are on ECC5.0 Hotpack 15. I will reward points if I can figure out how to.

Use MC94 to remove the quantities allocated.
Use MC62 to remove the planning hierarchy.
I believe that in your situation MC94 will work.

Synchronizing multiple Mac Mini Server Open Directories across branch offices

Greetings from Central Asia -
The non-profit that I work with has been undergoing a long-overdue IT upgrade and we recently purchased some Mac Mini Servers (still running Snow Leopard Server) to act as the core of our network across our 3 offices in 3 different cities.
We have employees moving between offices regularly, so I'm hoping to find a way to synchronize our user database between our head office and our branch offices instead of creating separate databases in each location. We use RADIUS and pfSense with a CaptivePortal for controlling who has internet access as well as have file shares, so keeping user database management to a minimum is an ideal.
I come from a mostly Microsoft Domain background with regards to these things so I'm not entirely sure where to start. Hopefully some hopeful folks here will steer me in the right direction!
I have a (mostly) unrelated question though - OS X Server seems to have two separate user databases - the "local" DB and the LDAP/OpenDirectory DB. Is there a way to make these function together? When creating users and assigning them to groups, which is best practice to use? How do I give an LDAP/OD user login rights to the server?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

I would prefer to keep the two databases seperate, with the local database providing a few specific users with access when OD is inaccessable.
The local database is basically a self-hosted LDAP server.
The local and OD databases do function with the appearance of one single user account presentation at login and for typical operations, too.
Do keep all of the usernames unique; the local users, as well as the OD users.
For your configuration, the usual pattern here is one or more open directory replicas in each lobe of the network.
These replicas then coordinate with the master copy among themselves. You'll have one distributed copy, but the lobes won't be tied to authentication across what may or may not be an entirely stable network; users authenticate off the local replica.
There are also folks that use Microsoft Active Directory as the back-end for Mac OS X, as well; there are various means to this end, including what is known as the magic triangle configuration.
As for learning more about OD, I'd read the Snow Leopard Server Open Directory administration documentation as a starting point. The Lion Server documentation is thin.
The Mac Enterprise Mailing List archives can also be enlightening; that's probably the most concentrated source of information on more complex management environments.

Syncing Contacts across Apple products

I have all my contacts on my BB and now have a Macbook, Ipad and Iphone4, how do I best upload my contacts across all of them, without iCLOUD?

I too have no desire to put my contacts in the Icloud. I have MacBook Pro, Ipad 2 and Ipod Touch. Here is the workaround I came up with last night so that I do not have to hand enter all updates and new people to Contacts on all three devices..
Ok so you have three devices with Contacts. You want to update a friend's work phone.
Here’s what you do: update the contact on one device. Then while you are in Contacts click on the arrow in the right hand bottom corner and tell it you want to email that contact card to yourself.
Open the email with the contact card on Device Two and click on the .vcf file that is attached. It will then save/update the contact information in that Device Two's Contacts.
Open the email with the contact card on Device Three and repeat the process.
Walah! you can update without retyping the information three times and you can keep your personal information and other people's contact information out of the Cloud.
I keep waiting for Apple to update Maverick and restore our ability to sync Contacts, Calendar and Booksmarks via I-Tunes and without using the Cloud.

FaceTime across apple products

FaceTime: I have an iPhone 4, an iPad 3 and a MacBook pro and am having difficulties getting FaceTime activated on one or the other device when a friend tries to FaceTime me. The iPhone seems to always ring but the iPad and Mac only ring on occasion despite FaceTime being open. How do I resolve this issue?

I have the same problem. I can contact them from both my iphone and my macbook pro. But when they try to contact me it only goes to my iphone...

Issue with Product Allocation Scenario

I am Trying out Product Allocation in APO (SCM 5.0).
Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.
Now trying to carry out the Product Allocation check by creating a Sales Order in ECC. In that case during the material availability check screen in APO, the product allocation does not show up.
I believe it is related to master data settings for the product in ECC. My questions are as follows:
1. In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO). There in MRP3 tab Strategy Group is maintained. Is this along with Availability Check field responsible for determining the check instruction (combination of check mode + business event) in APO for the Product Allocation check.
2. If so (which I guess it is) I can see the check instruction picked up in APO while creation of sales order in ECC is different from the check instruction I ran simulation with. How can I ensure the same check instruction is chosen (in which case I believe the availability check result will be same as the ATP Simulation carried out in APO).
3. In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master). In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.
4. Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.
I guess some of the questions is a bit hazy but I would appreciate if someone can outline the Product Allocation Scenario. I am trying out based on Building Block S59 Demand Planning for Product Allocation but of course it does not detail out enough.
Disclaimer: My knowledge of GATP is almost nil but am exploring.
Thanks,
Somnath

Hi Somnath,
It will be a pleasure to help you out.
Firstly I will list out all the steps which I can think of:
(1) R3-You have moved all the ATP customizing from R3 to APO via ATP integration model.
(2) APO- goto SPRO>APO>GATP>General Settings>Maintain Check Instructions
Here go to Check Mode- 041 and Business Event- A and maintain the following settings manually in development and migrate it all the way to Production
I am assuming here that you want to first do an allocation check and then availability check**
Product Allocation: Change from NO CHECK to First Check
Product Check: Change from First Check to Second Check
This check mode and business event is the most common one which is triggered while placing a sales order
See the following blog for DETERMINATION OF CHECK MODE
http://solution-timezone-issue.blogspot.com/
There might be other check modes( 030, 050) which might also require this change. However you can judge that while placing a sales order and when you go to the availability screen, You have the tab - SCOPE OF CHECK CONTROL where you can see the Check Mode + Business Event
Following guidelines can be used to modify Check Instrctions after Customizing Import from R/3
1. Business Event A* is Sales Order Entry (The main scope of GATP) so define check instructions for all check modes since it is not possible to identify the requirement class that may come over on an order. For Business Event A* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
2. Business Event B* is normally for deliveries but is also required for Rush Sales Orders. An R/3 configuration showed that 041 is the only requirement class that will come across for this business event. Hence defined only for 041 check mode. For Business Event B* if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Allocation as first step, then Availability check as second step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability and no allocation checks.
3. Business Event 03 required for Inventory Transaction availability check such as MB1C. For such transactions, the APO Product Master Check Mode is used. Hence check instructions for all Check Modes are maintained. For Business Event 03 if availability check was being done in R3, then define check instructions with Availability check as first step. Else if no availablity check in R3 then define check instructions with no availability checks.
(3) Maintain the Product Alllocation Procedure:
a- Create a Product Alloc Object -- Example: PAO-001
In this step, we define the product allocations objects - product allocations are saved per object for a characteristics combination in the product allocation group.
Product Allocation Procedures can be used to maintain different Product Allocation Objects for different time validity periods.
Generally Product Allocation Objects are used to model the different reasons for the need for allocation material shortage, capacity constraint, etc.
b- Product Alloc Group--PAO-1234
A product allocation group defines a group of characteristics against which allocation checking is done.
 Creating a Product Allocation Group creates a characteristics directory in the APO database and an area in Live Cache where the key figures are maintained.
 If Check Planning Area is set to No then allocation and incoming order quantitiy data can be seen in table /SAPAPO/QTTAB. If the Check Planning Area is set to Yes then no data is stored in this table and the allocation check is done directly against the data in the Planning area.
 Detials of allocationconsumption by sales orders are maintained in table /SAPAPO/QTVB in APO and in QTVB in R/3.
If Check Planning Area is set to Yes and if there are users are in the change mode in the Planning Book, Sales Order Entry can get locked out.
If Check Planning Area is initially set to yes and then deactivated later you will no longer see data in /SAPAPO/AC42.
Settings:
Check Planning Area Yes. The reason being that users are not expected to lock planning books as they would be defaulted into the display mode (through a development object). Also most allocation uploads will be through batch jobs. Setting it to Yes reduces one step of moving data between the planning area and the allocation group.
Check Date - Material Availability Date. Consumption of allocation quantity and checking of available allocation quantities is determined by the check date.
Time Bucket Profile Week
Characteristics Product Allocation Object (1), Product (2), Plant(3), Customer(4)
Consumption Period Bwd Consumption 1
Meaning that first the order will consume from current week allocation and then go 1 week backward to consume.
c- Product Allocation Procedure --- PAO-4567
Step Sequence:
Step -
Step Name- -
Prod Alloc Group -
Wild card

Prod Alloc Step -1
Control
Valid from -
Valid to---- -
Object -
Active -
Factor
 12/31/2037 PAO-001 Check the Box 1
d- Maintain Connection to Planning Area (APO)
In this step, we maintain the assignment of the planning area to the product allocation group. We must make this assignment because characteristics of the product allocation group have different names from the info objects of the planning area.
All characteristics of a product allocation group must be assigned to an info object. But multiple info objects can be assigned to one info object. It is not always necessary to assign every info object to a characteristic. It is possible for aggregation and disaggregation (depending on the direction of transfer) to take place with info objects that are not assigned.
Product Alloc Group -
Planning Area -

Time Buckets
PAO-1234 xxxxx 000 W
Characteristic
KONOB - Prod Alloc Obj
MATNR --- Material
WERK -
Plant
XXXXX---- Customer
Key Figures
Order Qty - AMENGE
Alloc Qty - KCQTY
e- Check the Product Alloc Settings
This is only a check- Everything should be green and OK .
(4) You have planned the Characteristic Combination on which you want to do ALLOCATION.
Create a new POS- Which has your chracateristics as PRODUCT, PLANT,CUSTOMER, Product Alloc Object ( 9AKONOB)
Planning Area,- Key figures required are Alloc Qty, Order Qty( Sales Order Qty)
PLannig Book, Data View which has the following characteristics- Product, PLant
Assuming you are allocating at the following CVC level- Product, PLant,Customer
Step 1:
/n/sapapo/MC62-Create Time Series- Basicallly your CVCs -
Example: Product 1234, Plant INDIA, CUstomer WALKART
Step 2:
Move Characteristic Values Combination to Allocation Group (APO)
/SAPAPO/ATPQ_PAREA_K
INput :
Planning Area: xxxx
Prod Alloc Group: PAO-1234
(5) In the INtegration MOdel - Activate the ATP CHECK Integration model for the Plant and material
THis is the KEY which decides whether availability should be done in R3 or APO
Material Active in the integration model -- Means Availability( GLOBAL AVAILABILITY: Prod Alloc+Prod Availability) is done in APO
Material not active in the integration model --- Means Availability Check is done in R3
(6) APO MASTER DATA SETTINGS:
Material Master: On the ATP Tab, Assign Loc Dep Procedure ( Prod Alloc Procedure)
Location Master: Calendar Tab> Create a shipping time stream calendar
Additional Info: Please contact your R3-SD people as this involves a lot of understanding and I have not listed all the details here.
This config shown here is a very basic one which not even 25% of the companies might be using.
If you have any questions on this part- please see my business card and email me**
(7) SCHEDULING: This is a major task which determines the route and transit times for calculating the
Material Availability date
Goods Issue Date
Delivery Date
on the sales order line item- schedule line
I dont know whether you need info on this**There are many ways of doing this
a- Configurable Scheduling
b- COndition records
c- User Exit
You can find documentation in SPRO or else let me know*
For simplicity- Let me take the easiest to create and difficult to maintain master data- Condition Records
Step1 --Define Field Catalog for Condition Table (APO)
/SAPCND/AU01
Require Plant and Route defined here in the field catalog
Step 2- Define Condition Table for Scheduling (APO)
/SAPCND/AU03
Create a new table- 901
901 - Pick Time based on Route with key as Route
902- Route Time based on route
Step 3- Maintain Access for Scheduling (APO)
/SAPCND/AU07
Take the important ones- PICK and TRAN
I am assuming again as I dont know what kind of Scheduling is maintained on R3 Side. Mostly 80% companies have only two lead times- Pick and Route Transit time.**
PICK- Select pick and click on accesses > Acno-10-- Table-901
 >> Then save it > and go in again
Select PICK and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as PICK--- Enter the access as 10 and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
TRAN- Select TRAN and click on accesses > Acno-10-- Table-902
 >> Then save it > and go in again
Select TRAN and click on Fields> A popup will appear > Enter the access sequence as TRAN--- Enter the access as 10 and click on the GREEn ARROW and save it
Now coming to maintaining the Condition records in APO EASY ACCESS
/SAPCND/AU11
Create SCheduling Step for PICK : Enter condition type- PICK
Enter Route- USCAN --- Duration -24:00 (Hrs)
Create SCheduling Step for TRAN: Enter condition type- TRAN
Enter Route- USCAN --- Duration -48:00 (Hrs)
Now Let me answer your questions:
(1) Question 1- In ECC the product exists at the manufacturing plant only (and not at customer as in APO).
I did not undertsand what you mean here. As we can create a Material at the following locations in APO( Dist Center(DC), Manu Plant(PL), Cusomter, Vendor, etc)
For GATP all we need is the material at a PLant location
STrategy Group on MRP3 tab: This is purely used for determining the CHECK MODE value on APO Product Master.
When this is blank on R3, the check mode will be blank on APO.
However SAP recommends Putting in a strategy group value on R3 Material Master
or
a default Check MOde value for all those Products who have blank check mode- 041 is the best value * This piece SAP hasnt recommended but I found that there is No harm in anyway and it is MANDATORYfor inventory transactions like GOODS ISSUE otherwise you will get a QUEUE in SYSFAIL **
Even if this is blank this has no effect on the GLOBAL ATP as the Check mode for a SD transaction is determined as follows
98% of the SD transactions will generate a CHeck mode of 041 and Business Event- A ***
Through the item category and the MRP type in the MRP view
The item category is derived from the item category group in the Sales view of the material master record and from the order type of the sales document. Together with the MRP type in the MRP view of the material master record, the item category determines what requirements type is selected. The advantage of this method is that the selection of the requirements type depends on the business process (such as quotation, sales order, or repair).
(2) Question 2 - I guess now you must have understood why when you do a simulation in APO, it is taking the Check mode from APO product Master
and when you do a ATP Check from R3, the check mode(041) is different
You dont need to ensure that they are the same- It doesnt matter in anyway.
(3) Question 3- In APO I ran simulation for the product at customer location (and maintained the required ATP settings in the product master).I
When you run ATP simulation- AC04, you generally run it for the plant as that is the supplying location and not the customer.
In case of Sales Order creation in ECC how does system pick up the Check Mode and Business Event for the product (having Sold-to as customer and Supply Plant as the plant code) and use it in APO.
PLease look above for this answer.
(4) Question 4 - Any other setting/configuration that is missed causing this behaviour.
To my best knowledge, whatever I could remember I have listed out. However there are some more steps which might be needed.
Follow all the steps as I have mentioned and whenever you get struck somewhere, shoot me a message and I will help you.
ONe more pointer here to what you have mentioned
Relevant setup in SPRO - Product Allocation Object, Group, Procedure, Sequence etc., Planning Object Structure, Planning Area, CVC generation, Connection between Planning Area and Product Allocation object in GATP, assignment in Location Product Master (at Customer Location) Product Allocation Procedure, Check mode, ATP Group has been done in APO.
After entering data in appropriate keyfigures (Allocated Qty) it shows up under GATP>> Reporting >> Product Allocations >> Time Series per CVC
Have carried out ATP Simulation to check that for a given product at Customer the Product Allocation against a Required Quantity takes place correctly.
Somnath, I believe you might have a wrong picture here. The concept of allocation is Controlling Supply against huge Demand which is in this case coming from SALES ORDER
When you place a sales order, the supplying location is your plant and that is where you would like to put in allocation quantities
Say for example for a material 12345 - You have stock of 100 Qty in Plant KING fo this week and it shows as follows in the planning book
Customers say are WALKART, GE-FUG, MACROGUN
The CVCs which we have to create are as follows
Similar to Demand PLanning**
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust WALKART-Prod Alloc Obj
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust GE-FUG-Prod Alloc Obj
Material 12345 -PLant KING-Cust MACROGUN-Prod Alloc Obj
And this is how it appears in the planing book when you go into DETAILS ALL
You basically enter the Allocation Quantities just as how you enter forecast quantities in DP Book*
 Wk1 | WK2 WK3 WK4 WK5
Alloc Qty |
Material 12345 |
Plant KING |
Cust WALKART 50 |
Cust GE-FUG 30 |
Cust MACROGUN 20 |
Incoming Order Qty |
Material 12345 |
Plant KING |
Cust WALKART 50|
Cust GE-FUG 25 |
Cust MACROGUN 20 |
50 : Say the Cust WALKART has ordered 250 for this week, however only the allocated quantity -50 will be confirmed for him and the remaining 200 qty will be confirme at a later week when he is given the allocated amount.
25 :Similarily say this customer GE-FUG has ordered 20 qty. So his remaining allocation is basically 5 which cannot be used by any other customer.
20 : Say this customer MACROGUN has ordered exactly the allocated amount of 20. So his remaining allocation will be 0.
This is the basic idea of how Allocation Concept is used in GATP.
Ofcourse you can add the other functionalities like
Rules Based ATP(LOcation Substitution, Product Substitution)
Multi ATP( BOM-COmponents)
Check Aginst Forecast
Etc Etc
Like any other module of SAP- this module has much to offer which unfortunately I cannot list here**
GOOD LUCK and let me know If you need additional help.

Transfer price (Internal Reveue to be allocated to Production cost Center)

Hi Sap Gurus.
My cleint using tranfer price without activiation material Ledger. The internal revenue should not reflect in Fi. For that we have created ztable and we will be able to transfer the stock between profit center and we are getting internal reveue to the sending profit sender and expenses to the receiving profit center finaally balance become a zero,(we are maintaing same gl account while doing transfer price). Now expense in receving profit center should consider as part of produt costing. how to allocate this expense to the production cost center when there is no balance.
Example
SENDING PLANT 1 MATERIAL 123456 MM PRICE (10) TP 15
RECEIVNING Plant 2 Material 123456 MM PRICE (10) TP 15
While taking STO system is posting with material master price 10, but in the production if they are using that material system should take 5 also . 10 is the cost and 5 is overhead.
help me out?

These are some few things I found out. Below is the result of a test I carried out when I tried to create a Settlement Rule for a statistical order.
Statistical order may not contain a settlement rule
Message no. KO188
Diagnosis
Order 12770, for which you are trying to create a settlement rule, is statistical.
System Response
Statistical orders cannot have a settlement rule because they cannot be settled.
Procedure
You could possibly remove the statistics indicator from the order (only if nothing has been posted to it yet).
I may be wrong but I have determined that, for production orders, you will have to use Standard Production Order Type and not a statistical order. The object class has to be production as well.
You will only be able to create a settlement rule if it is not a statistical order with the assignment category as ORD. Also, in your order type: Internal Order - Production, under general parameters, you will have to assign settlement profile 30 which is production order.
You may have to define planning profiles for co production orders, costing variant, valuation types. Maintain order types using KOT2. Example:
Order Type: PP01 Standard Production Order
Order Category: 10 PP Production Order
Number Range Interval: 1000000000--19999999999
Settlement Profile: abc
CO Partner Update: Semi-Active
Check of Classification
Next Maintain Settlement Profile: ABC Standard Production Order
Check off "To be Settled in Full
Default Allocation Structure: E.G: EB
Indicators: check off: 100% Validation. % settlement, equivalent numbers
Valid Receivers: 1 for most
Document Type: OS Order Settlement
Create Allocation etc.
Hope this gives you some pointers as to how to proceed.

Adding new field to product allocation catalog?

We are configuring product allocations in SCM 7.0 and have a requirement to add a new field to the standard field catalog for the allocations check. We have followed the procedure outlined by SAP to add our new field to the structure /SAPAPO/KOMGOZ, add the field to the field catalog, and copied the source code to ERP.
The issue that we are having is that new custom field that we added to the field catalog is not being populated when we execute /SAPAPO/ATPQ_PAREA_K - Characteristics Combinations from Planning Area. The product allocations group that is being used in /SAPAPO/ATPQ_PAREA_K has three characteristics. The first two which are SAP provided fields are being populated correctly, but the last custom field we added to the field catalog is not. It is just blank.
Is there a step that we missed during the configuation. We are only using this field for the product allocations check (we do not use Rules Based ATP).

Hi Arnel,
I was expecting with examples but anyway.
consider the examples of your CVC
Country Region brand SO DV DC mat plant etc...
now you want to first get confirmation on SO and DV , Prd allo group with these 2 characteristics
same goes for all other combinations.
now if you want to go with Either Or /And.. decides if you need to go with one product allocation procedure with many prod allocation group /or/ a sequence product allocation procedure.
Its very straight forward as such... if you come up with examples, i can give better details.
Looking at point 3 it looks like you want to go with 'OR' so you will have to go with sequence.
(tcode: /SAPAPO/ATPCQ_GENER)- is to check the customizing, sometime you might move the Prod allocation from dev system and just to make sure there is no issue in transport /missing config.. it will check with transaction code. I don't think you have to run this every time. After every transport..may be you have too as a caution check.
Imp: just to check @ different levels i dont think you will have to create different planning area. If all the characteristics on which you want to (combinations) is available in one planning area , you should be good with one planning area only.
Hope this is helpful. I would suggest to follow what we have discussed so far and then you can create another message after the configuration/approach you finalized with new issues/concerns you will be facing.
If issue are really bothering you much, you can reach out to me directly. Let me know

Product Allocation in OM17

Hi Experts
I am new to APO GATP.We have implemented GATP Basic methods product availabilty check and allocation check in our project.
When i run OM17 for product allocations we are getting following inconsistencies:
000 Shortage of incoming orders quantity @5F\QNo long text exists@ ZCS_S999 32oyIy8a043X0000meaTaW 12.04.2010 18.04.2010 0 0 1,222 1,222
When i run correct inconsistencies , inconsistencies are not getting removed.following message is prompting:
Message Number: /SAPAPO/OM_SYNC082
Diagnosis
The incoming orders quantity in liveCache could not be adjusted using product allocation assignment. This can have a number of causes. Check the following causes and try again:
Procedure
Check:
If the planning area to be adjusted is locked
If the time series are initialized (after liveCache has been initialized)
If all characteristics combinations exist in the planning area
1)What is the problem and why i am getting this error message?
2) How to remove or resolve the above inconsistency?
Regards
Vicky

Hi Senthil
Thanks for your reply.
When i run OM17 for product allocations we are getting following inconsistencies:
000 Shortage of incoming orders quantity @5F\QNo long text exists@ ZCS_S999 32oyIy8a043X0000meaTaW 12.04.2010 18.04.2010 0 0 1,222 1,222
1) Based on the planning object number(32oyIy8a043X0000meaTaW) from om17, i went to the transaction /SAPAPO/ATPQ_CHKCHAR - Characteristic Combinations and i dont find the characteristic value combination of the Planning Object Number.
2) I ran the transaction /SAPAPO/ATPQ_CHKUSG - Product Allocation Assignment Check based on the product allocation group and planning object number (32oyIy8a043X0000meaTaW ) with Assignment w/o order quantity i found it with red lght.
1) Check whether if the allocation group is used in several product allocation steps. (We are using only single product allocation step )
2) Check the product allocation procedure is maintained correctly( Yes its maintained correctly)
3) Check whether any lock created in planning area(How and where to check this )
4) Check whether the planning area is initialised(yes Planning area is intialized )
5) Run /SAPAPO/TSCONS and check for any errors(No errors)
6) Run /SAPAPO/ATPQ_CHKUSG and look for any errors
(I ran the transaction /SAPAPO/ATPQ_CHKUSG - Product Allocation Assignment Check based on the product allocation group and planning object number (32oyIy8a043X0000meaTaW ) with Assignment w/o order quantity i found planning object number with red colour.I dont understand what need to done in this transaction. I tried to delete but Delete option is greyed Out)
What would be the reason for this error?
How to resolve this inconsistency?
Regards
Vicky

Branch allocation in APP(F110)

Hi,
When i Run APP, in one Client(110) is asking Branch allocation, I find this Branch allocation in Paremeter tab.
and in other client(210) the field is not visble at all.
where to set this Branch allocation fields? so that it will appear/disappear in the F110 .
Thanks In Advance.

Hi,
The Branch account assignment must be active hence when you run F110, it is asking for branch allocation for that specific co code. Check in SPRO settings if branch assignments for automatic postings is activated.
The path is
SPRO - Financial Accounting - Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable - Business Transactions - Interest Calculation - Interest Posting - Branch Assignment for Automatic Postings - Define Branch Assignment for Automatic Postings
hope this helps
regards,

Allocation of multiple expenses in single posting template

Hi
With reference to Message 843069, we would like to suggest improvement to enable multiple allocation of expenses to respective departmental segments using a single Posting Template when each expense is allocated in various proportions of 100% among its Departments.
Example
Allocation of Stationery expense (1000 00) to its Department (1000 01) 1
and (1000 02) 2 at 50% each and allocation of Postage expense (2000 00)
to its Department (2000 01) 1 at 60% and (2000 02) 2 at 40%.
We need these allocations to be saved in a single Posting Template to
create a single Journal Entry at one goal.

If you are using multiple queries then how are you designing the final web template, I meant are you doing data binding for queries with web tempaltes and then insert all the templates in to a main template?
or are you just using multiple table web items and using a single template for all the queries?
If you have Javascript then try using multiple templates for multiple queries and write the javascript for the related template and then put all in a main template.
