APO DP promotions management

I am using APO DP V5.
In promotion planning within DP, is it possible to create 'promotion profiles' (eg x% uplift for a 3 week period), and use such generic profiles as the basis for creating actual promotions?
Thanks,
Bob Austin, Atos Origin.

I was thinking more generally.
Suppose I have promotions with a repeating set of attributes, eg spread over 4 weeks, with 10 % uplift in first 3 weeks, 5% in week 4.
Can I set up a single promotion 'profile', and then use this single profile to apply to, for example, products 1 and 2 for weeks 23-26, and then products 3,4, 5 for weeks 30-33?
Thanks,
Bob.

  • Trade promotion management docs required

    Hello Gurus,
    Could any one send me Trade promotion management docs .
    Could you please define what is it.
    Thanks and regards,
    Divya

    The only information I know of (excluding brochures which don't tell you anything useful) is in help.sap.com.
    Trade promotion management is a business concept supported in CRM, ERP, SEM-BPS/BW, and APO. It integrates the various activities in a golden promotion process which include:
    Basic:
    - Trade promotion creation/planning(CRM and SEM-BPS): Similar to campaigns but with more specific comercial objectives. It usually involves special season discounts or trade spends in the customer site ( trade spends are special product placement costs, tasting events, etc).
    - Trade promotion execution(CRM and ERP): Integration of discounts into sales orders, and rebate agreement managament in ERP.
    - Planned/Real analysis(BW):  It uses CO-PA reports to compare the promotion planned results with the actual results.
    Advanced:
    - Promotion result predition(CRM/BW): You can use data mining models to estimate uplift values based on your past knowledge base.
    - Account Planning(CRM and SEM-BPS): Well....account planning ^^
    - Demand planning integration(APO): Promotion have buying, pre-dip and post-dip periods. This integrates with APO demand planning so that your prodution planning takes into account special discounts and stock-in actions.

  • BADI for Claims search in trade promotion management

    Hi Experts,
    I am enhancing the Claims search in trade promotion management with a custom field. I added a custom field in the search screen of claims.
    I want to filter the records based on that custom field. The component is BT311S_CSR and the search query is BTQCSR.
    Is there any BADI for claims so that I can filter the records.
    I tried to put a breakpoint in the badi CRM_BADI_RF_Q1O_SEARCH and searched but it is not stopping.
    Does this badi works for claims? Or first do i have to create a implementation with the filter object as BTQCSR then try to check whether it will stop in the badi while searching the claims.
    Please suggest me.
    Regards,
    Dinesh.

    Hi Dinesh,
    Now this becomes tricky. Since your requirement is very specific there is no way that standard sap can help. You may end up in enhancing n number of classes.
    I can propose a solution though Please put of in front of your business/ functional team and then go ahead..
    Now we will change our approach...Please follow below steps:
    1. Add a altogether new field to your claim transaction using AET for sales office (description as 'Sales Office').
    2. Make this field search and result relevant.
    3. Whenever a sold to party is selected for claim transaction, based on the sold to party you would set value of this field.
    4. Since your field is search relevant it will automatically appear in your search query (control this in view configuration.)
    5. You may or may not display this field to end user in claim detail screen, You can control this by configuration.
    6. Depending on your requirement you can show/hide standard sales office field in search query.
    If you follow this approach then it will serve the purpose.
    Trust this solves your issue. Give points if it helps.

  • CMC - Promotion Management Tool

    Hi,
    I created a user account in CMC for promotion management tasks. Promotion is successful only if the user is a member of Administrator. I have given all rights for the user under CMC--->Application -->Promotion Management tools.
    BI 4.0 Edge. SP06 Patch 1
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank You
    Veena

    Yes Veena, I think Users may not have to be part of Administrators group in order to promote the content from one environment to another if they are provided with access to the Promotion Management through CMC>Applications area and also if they have access to the content to be promoted.
    Refer to Promotion management section(15.1.3 Application Access Rights) of the below guide for more details on granting access to other users to promotion management.

  • Working with version management and promotion management best practices BO 4.1

    Hi Experts
    I wondered if anybody knows if there is a document or something about best practices to work with the version management and promotion management in BO 4.1?
    Our Environment includes two servers. The first one is our development and test server. The second server is our prod system.
    Now on the dev server we have basically two folders called dev and test. We control access to them with a right system based on the folder structure.
    My question now is how you would work in this scenario (third server is not an option). Main target is to have as few reports as possible. Therefore we try to work with the version management system and only have one version of each report in the dev folder of the cms. But this is where problems start. Sometimes the newest version is not the version we want to publish to the test folder or even prod server.
    How would you publish the report to the other folder? Make a copy of the concerned report (transport to the same system via promotion management is not possible). Also how would you use the version management in regards to the folder structure? Only use version management in dev folder and export reports to test folder (out of vms control) or also use vms in test folder and how would that work?
    Further more I’d be interested in learning best practices with promotion management. I found out that the promotion of a report that doesn’t exist in prod doesn’t make any problems. But as soon as an older version already exists there is only partial success and the prod folder gets renamed to “test”.
    Any suggestions on how to handle these problems?
    Thank you and regards
    Lars

    Thank you for your answer.
    So you are basically proposing to work with the vms in the dev folder and publish the desired version to the test folder. And the test folder is out of version control in this scenario if I understood you correctly (like simple data storage)?
    And how would you suggest promoting reports to the prod system? Simply by promoting the
    desired version from dev folder directly to prod? This would probably lead to inconsistence because we would need to promote from dev system to test and dev to prod instead of promoting a straight line from dev over test to prod. Furthermore it would not solve the problem of the promoting result itself (A new folder called dev will be generated in prod but the report gets promoted to the prod folder if there was no report before).
    Thank you for the link. I came across this page just a few days ago and found also lots
    of other tutorials and papers describing the basic promoting process. The promoting process in general is clear to me but I wondered if it is possible to change some parameters to  prevent folder renaming for example.
    Regards
    Lars

  • Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer to be mapped in APO DP Promotion

    Hi All,
    If any body have come across this below scenario.
    I need to promote My Product (suppose colgate paste) in the market.
    For Ex: I want to sell colgate paste of 100 Gms with Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer.
    Currently this 100gm pack is  in single box ,now i need to pack two 100 gm colgate paste in one box and want to sell this new box in the market for a particular period.
    How i will come to know that when i promote Colgate of single 100gm ,system will automatically promote  box of  two Colgate of  100gm.
    How to set up this in APO DP Promotion? Can we use Bom functionality in promotion?
    Please provide your valuable inputs.

    Hi Jaiprakash,
    For modeling the scenario the way I described, you will have check with ERP team to first find out, as to how complex SKUs are mapped currently. This is because master data is driven by SAP ECC/ R/3 systems into APO and also the input transaction data (e.g.  Sales history) will be extracted finally through the SAP ECC / R/3 system.
    Forecasting with DP BOM
    In APO DP BOM can be created by PPM or PDS functionality and PPM will be simpler to create.
    Process flow for forecasting with DP BOM is as given in the SAP Help:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_SCM700_ehp01/helpdata/en/4b/dc5d8fa3e1403595b5786f57142529/frameset.htm
    Please note that sales history will be extracted from ECC/ BW for complex SKUs and also for the normal Finished SKUs.
    We have not used standard promotion planning functionality with DP BOM. We used a key figure to load the promotions and macros to do additions to the baseline forecasts created.
    You need to create an additional key figure or use any available one for loading promotions from an info cube to planning area.
    Final demand plan will be calculated by macros to additions to baseline forecasts of promotions and marketing intelligence if any.
    You need PPMs for the complex SKUs in SNP/PPDS also. There will be separate packing and processing facility for making complex SKUs from simple SKUs. 
    Demand plan will be released to SNP, for both complex SKUs and simple SKUs.
    SNP heuristics will create the supply plan and for short term, PPDS plans need to be created by converting SNP plans.
    There is possibility of subcontracting process for the complex SKUs and this also can be mapped.
    Regards

  • Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, Why?

    A Procedure is distributed by SAP  how to Use ”Promotion Management”  in a OTAP/ DTAP street.
    See Chapter/Secton 05 of this document: https://archivesaptechedhandson.hana.ondemand.com/contentArchive/AP263_Exercises_VHO_FINAL.pdf
    This is a very good/useful   procedure. This procedure works  with an “Enterprise”  Account. 
    In our environment we ONLY work with  “Windows AD”  accounts. (to keep users management very straight forward.)
    We do not get the procedure working with “Windows AD” account.
    Our procedures stops at Section:  “07.3 Add to VM”:
    The selected webi document, within the promotion Job, is not getting "checked in" in  Version Management.
    After that all other steps are useless.
    Windows AD user cannot use Promotion management, but Why?
    (If we use version managment on the individual webi report, with a windows AD user everyting works fine)

    Sebastian,
    you showed us the right direction.
    We run SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 2 Patch 3.
    In SAPBO4.1 we had to extend the properties of 2 services:
    AdaptiveJobServer and the AdaptiveProcessingServer.
    Now we can use windows active directory for promotion management,
    thanx.

  • Trade promotion management for rebates processing

    Hi All,
    I am looking for configuration or step by step procedure on trade promotion management for rebates processing. Any document that gives the condition types to be used, set up of trade promotion, determination of the trade promotion related conditions in sales order, accruals of such rebates will be helpful
    Regards,
    Praveen

    sorry, I can't login a CRM server now, but I try to answer your question by my memory
    u2022 What condition types are required for rebates
    the condition type for rebate is special,  different the normal pricing condition,  the rebate condition has a different condition usage.  you can define the rebate condition record in rebate related SPRO path
    u2022 How are they linked to TP and how the conditions flow to ECC
    the condition generation configure in TP link the condition with TP type, you can check the configuration in SPRO
    u2022 How are these conditions determined in sales order
    the rebate also need to configure to the sale order, this configuration is under SD rebate path, and you can upload the configuration by middleware synchronize object from CRM
    u2022 Are there any agreements that need to be created
    the aggrement will be created automatically if the rebate condition can be generated in CRM TP.   pay attention that the spend type table in TP WEB UI page has a button named 'rebate generate'
    u2022 How does accruals happen
    the accrals is depend on the funds plan,  if fund plan created and configure for accrualls, you can launch a job background for accrual base on a fund plan from WEB UI
    u2022 How is it linked to funds, what set up of funds is required
    the funds is link to fund plan,   fund plan link to TP.   There is no directly link between funds with rebate, but they have indirect relationship through spend category, method,...    E.G.   you configure a rebate belong to a spend category,  and you can configure the spend category in fund determination with TP.
    The funds will be determined when TP created
    u2022 How validation happens from claims
    validaion happens in claim processing,  in claim,  the spend value will be fetch from fund usage, and bring to the validation screen, you can edit the validation data, and  claim will generate the billing due list according to the validation you input.

  • Field extension in TPM (Trade Promotion Management)

    Hi experts,
    I have a requirement where I have to extend a field in the New Web UI of the Trade Promotion Management.
    In the Trade Promotion Creation, I have to add the Planning Channel Group field in the Trade Promotion details Assignment Block.
    Could someone help me to do that?
    I suppose I have to use the EEWB to extend the field, but honestly I don't know if is an extendable field.
    If it is, I don't know which is the Business Object to extend and what Type to extension is it.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Guillermo Buscemi

    The Genil Component for trade promotion ( TPMOE) is CRMD_MKTPL_TPM.
    If you look at the data model then you will see we are using Trade as root object and Trade Element as acciless object.
    Refer the structures attached to them. They are mainly CRMS_MKTPL_IB_TPM and CRMS_MKTPL_IB_TPT and the are extendable via EEWB and include.
    You should not have any issue adding new Fields.

  • Error while accessing Promotion Management

    Hello all,
    I am running BI 4.1 SP2. While trying to access Promotion Management in the CMC, I am getting the following error:
    Sorry, Promotion Management application is unable to process your request.
    The error from the server is: Unable to retrieve the root LCM folder. Please check if you have sufficient rights to perform promotion management.
    And I am unable to see or create any jobs.
    Any ideas on what could be wrong and how to solve it please?
    Thanks,
    Sudarshan

    Hi,
    Do you have appropriate rights set on the LCM folder?
    Check the below :
    Public folders --> LCM --> Promotion Jobs
    Firs set General--> View Objects on LCM folder
    and then followed by the below rights on the Promotion Jobs folder
    Then make sure you have enough rights on the application "Promotion Management" as below
    Let me know if this solves the purpose or not.

  • Promotion Management schedulation cause space outage in Output Filestore

    Hi All,
    Recently I had some space outage problem on BO 4.1 server caused probably by Promotion Management nightly schedulation. I've scheduled an export of some reports folder every night to an ftp server, but seems that BO saves lcmbiar files also in local output filestore location.
    It takes morer than 50Gb of space and I need to free it, and I'm searching for a safe way to do it. I've also removed promotion job but files still remain on the server, and the RDT didn't give me any inconsistent file.
    Thanks for your help

    Hello,
    are you trying to do any Backup strategies with the Promotion Management Application?
    Yes, thats true. If you have scheduled the Job nightly there will be an Instance created for this Job. If the PM Job has a size of 50 GB your FRS will be filled pretty quick.
    Regards
    -Seb.
