APO DP - loading of selections and forecast profiles assigned to selections

I am using APO DP V5.
I am forecasting at a 'product at customer' level.
I have a flat file containing the 'product at customer' combinations - of which there are several thousand - and the proposed forecast profile for each combination.
Is there a good way for:
1. loading these combinations as a set of 'selection ids' into APO DP?
2. loading the set of 'selections assigned to forecast profiles'
I note that the 'selections assigned to forecast profiles' are in table /sapapo/dp_fcst2, but this table includes the GUID for selection ids, so I assume the selection ids must be generated first.
Thanks for any advice.
Regards,
Bob Austin

Hi Bob,
There was a similar question asked sometime back in this forum, and am attaching the replies given to that.

Coverage profile and Forecast profile together

Dear all,
Can we use coverage profile and forecast profile together.What are the requirements for the same.
We are using coverage profile with following details
No. of periods=20
Type of period per length=1
Range of coverage in first period= 10
The forecast profile is set for
Historical periods=12
Initialisation period=2(Automatic,X)
Periods /season=12
Forecast periods=12
with different weighting groups.
But whenever forecasting is executed with some historical data for the 3 profiles it is giving same forecast values for all 3 profiles with different weighting groups.
Also the MRP type used here is a copy of the PD MRP type and not VV or VS.
Where can the problem lie?
Regards
Manisha

Dear
Coverage Profile and Forecast profile are two different subject !
If it is range of coverage profile , then The range of coverage profile contains the parameters for calculating the dynamic safety stock. This is a statistical calculation on the basis of average daily requirements.With the dynamic safety stock, you can determine a safety stock based on requirements and range of coverage. The dynamic safety stock adapts automatically to the changed requirements and is fully available for planning purposes. You can limit the quantities used in the calculation of the dynamic safety stock by defining maximum and minimum ranges of coverage. You can also limit the period of time by defining different time periods in which the range of coverage is valid.
I hope you are asking about saferty caverage profile,,here basicalli we are setting the system to see how the safety stock is to be covered and calculated.See the help link below and come back if required

Where as Forecasting Profile , please refer the below :
Profiles
One more query : Also the MRP type used here is a copy of the PD MRP type and not VV or VS.
I think you should use Forecast Base MRP type like VV rather PD.PD does not carry out any Forcasting Functionality .Please check wether you replicate PD from VV , then it is possible to execute Forecast specially Total Consumption set up in MRP type .
Hope this will be useful

Forecast Profile Assignment At Customer Level

Hi All,
I would like to assign a forecast at a customer level that has multiple products that roll up to this one customer. Is this possible? When I enter one customer in the selection profile and load all of the item and then try to assign a forecast profile, it does not seem to hold the forecast profile and does not appear in the Assign Forecast Profiles to Selection (/SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2).
Are there any good document on restrictions and rules for forecast profile assignments to different levels of aggregation. For example, do you always have to be at a specific level to assign are forecast profile to a selection?
Thank you,
Rumi

Hi Rumi
I think it should be possible to Assign Forecast Profiles to Selection via T-code (/SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2). Please create respective selection in planning book as per your requirement. Then go to above T-code only give respective planning area and execute.
It will show you all the current selections with assigned FCST profiles. You also find few buttons on top. Please select the assign, which will take you to next screen for selection. You can given put the customer information in selection and execute which will give you all the selections with given customer.
Select your respective selection and than you can assign the FCST profile with some buttons from header.
Please read the following thread from SDN will give you more information about it.

External Hard Drive won't load, Disk Utility and System Profiler crashes,

I've had the WD 1TB Passport for Mac for about a year now and as of this afternoon, my MacBook Pro stopped recognizing it. It's encrypted so when I plugged it in, my computer asked me for my password, but then it said there was an error and wouldn't mount. After restarting the computer, the password prompt for my external drive didn't even pop up. I can hear the hard drive spinning and the light flashes for a good 30 seconds before going solid. I have tested my USB ports with flash drives and they are reading them just fine. I tried to run Disk Utility but it goes into the never-ending loading mode. So then I go to the "About my Mac" page and clicked on storage, and the profiler crashed (never-ending loading). Can anyone help me? It was working just fine up until today. I even tried different Micro USB chords on it. This drive is incredibly important to me and I would appreciate not having to erase anything from it (kinda defeats the purpose of backing up a computer if the external hard drive is the one needing the backup).
I have a
Mid 2010 13in MacBook Pro
OS X 10.8.2
1TB WD Passport for Mac

No Master Forecast Profile Assigned.

Hello SAPiens,
While creating a Univariate Forecast, the message pop ups NO MASTER PROFILE ASSIGNED. in Interactive Planning,
I have checked the assignment in SDP19, but system doesnot picks in while creating the Forecast for a particular CVC.
Please help
Thank you
Regards
Rahul Chitte

make sure the entry for the CVC exists in /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 transaction. make sure the checkbox "All Related Selections" is checked as well since it has a positive impact on the user experience in DP screen.
A good practice is to generate all the profiles by running strategy 56 in the background with the master profile.
If you overtly want to run the forecast with a specific model, go to the menu bar before you hit the univariate button. Under Settings --> Forecast Profile --> pick up the master profile and then run the univariate.

JComboBox selection and highlight problem of the selected item

Hi,
I have a question how can I make my newly added item to the combo-box selectable and highlighted. I am adding new items to my custom comboBox dynamically and I want whatever item I add to be selected by default. I am using my own custom ComboBoxModel that extends AbstractListModel and implements ComboBoxModel and TreeModelListener, and my custom Renderer that extends JLabel and implements ListCellRenderer. Because I am trying to get a tree structure in my comboBox model and that's why I have my own custom model and renderer. Now when I add a new node or item to my comboBox it is being added and shown in the combo-box textField, but as soon I pull down the combo-box my parent directory is selected though my current selection is the last node added. That's how I am adding new nodes and making it selectable
treeModel.insertNodeInto(tempNode, (DefaultMutableTreeNode)nodeCollection.lastElement(), 0);
int nodeTotal =((CMRGlobals.myTreeGlobals).getModel()).getSize();
Object lastNode = CMRGlobals.myTreeGlobals).getModel()).getElementAt(nodeTotal - 1);
((CMRGlobals.myTreeGlobals).getModel()).setSelectedItem(lastNode);
when I do this my node is added under my parentNode and is shown in the comboBox but when I try to pull down the combo my parent node is high lighted and when I move out of the combo-box my parent node gets selected and show in the combo-box though I haven't selected it,and the contents of my last node are shown. I am just writing my own custom model that simulates the effect of JTree. I am using these......
DefaultMutableTreeNode and
DefaultTreeModel
and in my JComboBox I am setting my model as
this.setModel(new myModel(treemodel));
this.setRenderer(new myRenderer());
I am building my own FileDialog that just works like FileDialog I have all the functionality except this problem.Thanks for any help. I know I have posted this same thread yesterday but I didn't get any response hoping now may somebody can help me.Thanks again

never mind I got it
Thanks

Policy-based Tunnel Selection and PBTS with Dynamic Tunnel Selection option

Unfortunately I can't test this feature on GSR 12k platform.
RP/0/0/CPU0:ios(config)#show config failed
!! SEMANTIC ERRORS: This configuration was rejected by
!! the system due to semantic errors. The individual
!! errors with each failed configuration command can be
!! found below.
interface tunnel-te1
policy-class 1
!!% The requested operation is not supported: Feature not supported on this platform
end
What is the difference between Dynamic Tunnel Selection and ordinary PBTS? It would be nice to see some real-world example.

PBTS with DTS is supported only on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router... you should rather test it on 12K platform.

Selection generated with Navigational Attribute and store forecast profile

Hi,
Our business has a requirement that will require for the solution a Forecast Profile to be stored against a selection which was generated with a navigational attribute in the selection. I have found two SAP Notes 329707 and 394076 shown below which point to BAdi /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST5 method SEL_CHANGE to do the job. Can anyone help me in understanding what coding we need to do within the BAdi to get this to work. Does anyone have an example?
SAP Note 329707
Method:
    SEL_CHANGE (as of SCM 4.1)
    This method can be used to change the selection to be stored in
    in the generated selection table. Navigation attributes can be
    removed, such as the function of assigning a forecast
    profile to the selection can also be allowed for selections with
    navigation attribute without a basic characteristic.
    Parameter
     IV_PAREAID      Importing Type /SAPAPO/TS_PAREAID
     CT_SELECTION    Changing   Type /SAPAPO/TS_IOBJ_SELECTION_TAB
Sample code:
    DATA: lv_tabix     TYPE sytabix.
    DATA: lt_chars     TYPE /sapapo/dm_int_chars_tab.
    DATA: ls_chars     TYPE /sapapo/dm_int_chars.
    DATA: ls_selection Type /SAPAPO/TS_IOBJ_SELECTION.
    IF iv_pareaid = 'PAREA1'.
      CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/TS_PAREA_SINGLE_GET'
        EXPORTING
          iv_pareaid   = iv_pareaid
        IMPORTING
          et_chars     = lt_chars
        EXCEPTIONS
          not_found    = 1
          OTHERS       = 2.
      CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
      LOOP AT ct_selection INTO ls_selection
                          WHERE iobjnm NE '9AVERSION'.
        lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
        READ TABLE lt_chars INTO ls_chars
                            WITH KEY iobjnm = ls_selection-iobjnm.
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0 AND NOT ls_chars-atrnavfl IS INITIAL.
           DELETE ct_selection INDEX lv_tabix.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
SAP Note 394076
As of Release SCM 4.1, you can use the method SEL_CHANGE of the BadI /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST5 to process the selection before saving it to the generated selection tables. This allows you to save selections with navigation attributes, for example, where the selections do not have a specified basis characteristic. You simply need to delete the navigation attributes from the selection.

Is all the Navigational attribute checked for display during cube creatiion?

APO DP Forecast profile consistency check

I am using APO DP V5.
Has anyone any experience of using the 'forecast profile consistency check' pgm /sapapo/rmdp_fcst_prpfl_consis?
What exactly does it do?
Thanks,
Bob Austin, Atos Origin

Hello,
This report /SAPAPO/RMDP_FCST_PRPFL_CONSIS is consistency for forecast profiles
While there is no need to schedule the report automatically at regular intervals, there are some special situations in which it can be very useful.
When must this report be run?
1. When you transport forecast profiles from a system A to a system B. In this case, you must convert the internal version indicator (Id).
2. If you are having problems with the date display or if the system changes from the relative date specification to the absolute specification for no obvious reason.
When should you run this report?
1. If you are working with generated forecast profiles (user parameter /SAPAPO/FCST_GUIDS).
2. If you are using a manual forecast.
What exactly does this report do?
1. The internal version ID is checked.
2. Date fields are checked. Fields filled with 00000000 are initialized.
3. Overall profiles without any single profiles are deleted.
4. Generated forecast profiles that are no longer assigned to a selection are deleted.
5. The assignment of forecast profiles to a selection is deleted if the forecast profile no longer exists.
6. Parameters for the manual forecast are deleted for any forecast profiles that no longer exist.

Using navigational attributes in selection for a forecast profile

Hello All,
I could understand that the forecasting can be done on navigational attributes.
But when I goto transaction /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2, I could not create a selection on navigational attribute.
Because I could not see the navigational attribute field in the selection screen for selection criteria/profile creation.
Does anyone have any idea of how to do this?
Also I saw the method SEL_CHANGE of BADI /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST5. But the documentation is confusing, since it says that using this method, we could delete the navigational attributes from the selection condition. Could any one suggest me how to use this BADI if I cannot create a selection with navigational attribute?
Thanks,
Suresh

Hi Sunitha,
Thanks a ton for your reply.
The real problem is the OSS note is confusing.
OSS Note for this method says "This method can be used to change the selection to be stored in
in the generated selection table. Navigation attributes can be removed, such as the function of assigning a forecast
profile to the selection can also be allowed for selections with navigation attribute without a basic characteristic."
I am really confused what it says.
If we can't create a navigational attribute for a selection, how could we delete it from a selection?
Thanks,
Suresh

Forecast profile not selected by forecast job

Hi Experts,
I am wondering why forecast job in background does not select the forecast profile, which I have assigned in interactive planning. It always takes the job profile even though in activity definition the checkbox (Always use job profile) is unchecked!?
My other question addresses assignment of CVC's to forecast profiles: for a specific CVC is there a way to figure out in which forecast profiles this CVC is included? Checking this in TX /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 is very time consuming.
Many thanks for your support
Aban

MAPE error will be calculated regardless of strategy mainatained in profile. but make sure you have selected MAPE error calc method while creation of forecast profile.
MAPE( mean aboslute persentage error) is the best method to analyse error even SAP recommended to use this method to get best results.

Mandatory/Default field for mrp/forecast profile mrp area

Dear guru,
In MM01/MM02 when i create a new mrp area for a material I want Mrp profile field and forecast profile field as mandatory field. Or as alternative solution purposed with a default.
How can I do that ?

Dear Murugesan ,
in OMSR i make the mrp profile (MDMA-DISPR) and forecast profile (MDMA-PROPR)
as required entries in the screen sequence.
But when I create/change mrp area fields the system dont consider as required these fields.
Are you sure that the field selection for data screen is concerning also for mrp area fields ?
Thanks.

Composite Forecast Profile

Hi,
     I tried to create Composite forecast profile. I got this error message when I tried to run it , "No suitable single profile is assigned to master profile." Not sure what happened. This is the steps that I did:
       1) Create Master Profile in forecast profile.
       2) Select "Composite Forecast" at the selection model and type in the name of Composite forecast profile.
       3) Go to Composite forecast tab and select my created univariate profiles.
       4) Assign weight to each univariate profile.
       5) Click "Save Single" profile button at the top.
       6) Click the clock icon (or F8) to adopt the change.
      Could anyone tell me what went wrong ? Thanks in advance for your help.
Paranee

Hi Paranee,
Did you check that your planning book had the check box composite forecast activated?
This could be the reason.
You can check this in transaction /SAPAPO/SDP8B
I hope this can help you.

Assignement of Forecast Profile at customer level

Hi All,
Does anyone know if it is possible to assign a forecast profile to a specific customer (that has multiple materials assigned to it). If I try to do this /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 I get an error message.
I want to have all materials linked to this forecast profile but don't want to assign one individually.
Does this make sense?
Cheers,
Rumi

Hi
It should be possible to do it.
You can create a respective selection in Planning book for products with respective customer.
Than using /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 - Assign Forecast Profiles to a Selection , you can assign respective forecast profile for this selection.
Please find enclosed herewith the more information regarding it.
