Thanks for your answer, Uma!
I was testing Bapis that you mentioned and I think it's a radical solution because I would be blocking users, I just want to lock a planning book (users can keep logged in the system)
Transaction /n/sapapo/sdpplbk does not guarantee that user can access to planning book (if he/she is smart )
any suggestion?

Hi Cesar/Rasec,
If I understand correctly you want users not to change any data while some background job is being run. One way to handle this would be to lock and unlock the concerned planning area. This will prevent any users from making changes to the data in the planning area which should also mean your background job will not fail due to locks on data selection by users.
For this you can develop customization to do locking and unlocking of the planning area. The function module ENQUEUE_/SAPAPO/E_PAREA can be used to lock planning area while DEQUEUE_/SAPAPO/E_PAREA to unlock the planning area.
Hope this gives you some direction.
Thanks,
Somnath

  • In APO Collaborative DP, can we call Planning books separately on EP?

    Dear All,

  • Locking-Unlocking Transaction in APO

    Experts.
    Can anyone of you please help me with "user exits"  that can be used for locking & unlocking of transactions in APO Demand planning .
    We have a requirement where we want to lock & unlock transaction /SAPAPO/SDP94.
    Please drop your valuable inputs.

    Hi ,
    I don think locking //SDP94 is logical. Instead we have to lock the planning book that you are going to update. There is a standard FM available to lock the planning book. I don get the name of this FM. Please explore in this view.

  • Locks in Planning

    Hi,
    After doing a Manual Planning using Input ready Query,
    Scenario:
    1) On submit of the information from lower level to higher level, a notification would be triggered and a version (Version A) would be generated.
    2) Unless the higher level reviews and sends back the notification for modifications, the lower level shouldn’t be able to edit the generated version (Version A).
    That particular version should be locked for that period of time to the lower level user role.
    Are there any function modules that can lock the plan data for a particular user?

    hi
    OKP1 locks the plan data for the controlling area, fiscal year, Version and business transaction combinations.
    If you want to lock the planning for the particular WBS, you can do the same in Project Builder under the menu path Edit-> Status-> Lock -> Planning.

  • Moving Planning areas and Planning books from SCM 4.0 to SCM 5.1

    Hello Experts,
    Can anyone have idea of how to transport planning areas and Planning book from SCM 4.0 to SCM 5.1.
    Do we need any prerequisite to Transport Planning area and Planning book from Lower version (SCM 4.0) to higher version SCM 5.1.
    Any suggestion could be very helpful for me.
    Thanks!
    Best Regards,

    I have never done this, but I suspect it might be tad easier to just recreate them in 5.1 There are scores of tables that Planning Book configuration lies in. I would not rely on a transport mechanism working across versions to migrate every bit of the configuration accurately.

  • Manual cration on planned order in Planning w/o Final Assly segment

    Hello everyone,
    Is there any way to change/create SNP planned orders manually in SNP Planning book or product view in Planning w/o final assly segment.
    I am not able to create manual order in RRP3 view in Planning w/o final assly segment. It is giving below error.
    Note: I am able to create planned order in MTS segment.
    I am not sure whether SAP has purposfully not given this functionality. However, I believe user should able to create/change planned order in planning w/o final assly segment.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    If the planning strategy is Make to order, planned orders should not be created manually in RRP3 view and it comes from sales order only.

  • How to "unlock" a book?

    Once and for all, can someone tell me how to "unlock" a book on my LookBook ereader? I downloaded a book from my local library. I can read it on ADE on my laptop, but on my Lookook, I can see the cover but when I click it, I get this message: "The content you are trying to view is locked. Please user [sic] your Adobe ID to authorize your ereader to view content protected with Adobe Mobile Ereader Technology"
    my ereader is authorized with my email address. Why can I read the book on my laptop but not my LookBook? I have had this problem with nearly every book I download.

    I think you're running into some digital rights issues.  Publishers,
    libraries and distributors, to name a few, can assign digital rights to
    epublications that will limit the ability to transfer or copy or print
    them.  If this is the case, there's not much you can do.  This happens
    often with ebooks you purchase, but not always.
    Open ADE on your computer and go into Library mode.  Put your cursor on the
    small arrow next to the name of one of the ebooks that's giving you fits on
    your Lookbook.  When you click on it, a small drop-down box will appear.
    Click on 'Item Info' and a screen will display information about that
    ebook.  In the middle of that screen will be the digital rights assigned to
    it.  I'm not a betting man, but I'd expect to see that copying the ebook is
    restricted.
    Without debating the relative merits of whether an ebook should carry such
    restrictions, it's the way that the Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 2000
    has been implemented.  And it's not just ADE.  Bluefire Reader, Calibre and
    Overdrive also manage digital rights the same way.
    Hope this helps!

    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Minimum and Maximum Number of Dependents
    Define Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of a health plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Option
    u2022 Dependent coverage
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often costs vary for all the combinations of option and dependent coverage that you have defined in each plan.
    This indicates how many cost variants you need. You can use the same cost variant more than once, for example, if costs are always identical for the dependent coverages 'employee only' and 'employee plus family' within a plan, regardless of the plan option
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Define Cost Rule
    Health Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all the definitions relevant to the health plan that you have made in the previous steps.
    You assign to each health plan:
    u2022 Its options
    u2022 Relevant dependent coverages
    u2022 The cost variants for the combination of options and dependent coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Health Plans  Assign Health Plan Attributes
    Insurance Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for insurance plans
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Insurance Plan General Data
    Coverage Variants:
    In this step, you define coverage variants to determined which factors influence the coverage an employee is entitled to in a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual coverage in this step. You simply define how coverage varies according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Coverage option
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define coverage variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often coverage varies for different coverage options.
    This indicates how many coverage variants you need. Note the following:
    u2022 If a plan has set coverages (including salary multiples), you need a
    coverage variant for each.
    u2022 If a plan allows employees to choose any amount of coverage within a
    range, you need only one coverage variant.
    u2022 If a plan has options, you will need a coverage variant for each option.
    2. Determine how coverage varies according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings. For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and coverage grouping to determine coverage
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans 
    Coverage Rules:
    In this step, you define the actual coverages for a plan.
    You need to define coverage for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    Coverage can be defined as a flat amount or as a factor of salary
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Coverage Rules
    Cost Variants:
    In this step you define cost variants to determine which factors influence the cost of an insurance plan for an employee. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual costs in this step. You simply define how costs vary according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Coverage option
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define cost variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often cost varies for different coverage options:
    u2022 If an insurance plan has set flat coverage options and flat costs, you need
    to define a cost variant for each flat cost.
    u2022 If you have set flat coverage options and the flat costs are directly
    proportional to the coverage stated in the flat cost, you need only one
    cost variant.
    u2022 If an employee can choose any amount of coverage within a range and the
    cost of the coverage is directly proportional to the coverage, you need
    only one cost variant.
    2. Determine how costs vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and cost grouping to determine cost. You can also indicate whether the gender of employees and whether or not they are smokers are cost criteria
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Cost Variants
    Cost Rules:
    You need to define costs for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Define Cost Rules
    Insurance Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you bring together all those parts of an insurance plan, that you have already defined in the previous few steps.
    You define the insurance plan options, then associate to each insurance plan:
    u2022 Cost variant
    u2022 Coverage variant
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Assign Insurance Plan Attributes
    Combined Coverage Limits:
    When you define coverages for plans such as insurance, you can set limits on the coverage amount. This is often used when the coverage is an amount dynamically calculated when the employee chooses her coverage.
    However these limits apply only to one plan and yet you might need to define limits which combine the coverages of more than one plan.
    In this chapter, you define these combined limits as follows:
    1. The limit that might span 2 or more plans is reduced to a mathematical equation, where there is an amount on one side and plan coverages on the other side. The two sides of this equation are then DIVIDED BETWEEN the two views in this chapter.
    2. The first view defines the limit in monetary terms which is one side of the equation. It also defines the operator (equals, is greater than, and so on).
    3. The second view defines the other side of the equation in terms of the plan coverages
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Combined Coverage
    Combined Coverage Limit Expressions:
    In this step, you enter the second half of the equation, as discussed in combined coverage
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Define Combined Coverage Limit Expressions
    Imputed Income for Selected Benefits:
    In this section of the IMG, you define the criteria needed to calculate Imputed Income.
    Imputed Income is based upon benefits paid for by the employer and calculated using rates set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This value is then treated as taxable income for the employee
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Review Age Groups for Imputed Income
    Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income:
    In this step, you check that the Imputed Income Rate Table entries are correct.
    The imputed income age groups are associated with the rates/factors set by the IRS
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Insurance Plans  Combined Coverage  Review Calculation Factors for Imputed Income
    Savings Plans:
    In this step, you define general data for savings plans.
    You have defined the relevant type, status, and provider for each plan in the Basic Settings section of the Benefits IMG
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Savings Plan General Data
    Employee Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employee contribution variants to determine which factors influence the permitted employee contribution to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contributions in this step. You simply define how contributions vary according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employee contribution grouping to determine employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employee Contribution Variants
    Employee Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define the employee contribution limits for each plan.
    You need to define employee contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define minimum and maximum employee contribution in the following ways:
    u2022 As a fixed amount
    u2022 As a percentage of salary
    u2022 As a contribution unit
    In Payroll, the total employee contribution is the sum of these amounts
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employee Contribution Rules
    Employer Contribution Variants:
    In this step you define employer contribution variants to determine which factors influence the contribution the employer makes to a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).
    You do not enter any actual contribution in this step. You only define how contributions vary according to:
    u2022 Plan
    u2022 Option (only for plans in the plan category Miscellaneous)
    u2022 Employee data
    Before you start to define variants, you need to do the following:
    1. Determine how often employee contributions vary for plans and any plan options.
    This indicates how many contribution variants you need.
    2. Determine how employee contributions vary according to employee data.
    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings.
    For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and employer contribution grouping to determine employer contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employer Contribution Variants
    Employer Contribution Rules:
    In this step, you define limits for the contributions made by the employer to employee plans. You so this for each employer contribution variant for each plan.
    You need to define employer contributions limits for each possible combination of employee grouping in the criteria you have attributed to each variant. If you have not specified any criteria in a variant, you assign one rule only.
    You can define the employer contribution and the contribution limit in either of the following ways:
    u2022 As a fixed amount / as an amount per unit contributed by the employee
    u2022 As a percentage of employee base salary or employee contribution
    IMG Path: Personnel Management  Benefits  Plans  Savings Plans  Define Employer Contribution Rules
    Assign Savings Plan Attributes:
    In this step, you complete the definition of savings plans by bringing together the relevant elements that you have already defined:
    u2022 EE contribution variant
    u2022 ER contribution variant

  • Scope of Planning for Total Planning

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    My Client Scenario is as follows
    They import Spare Part materials from abroad to a Main Warehouse (defined as Plant in SAP) and then do stock transfer to around 60+ warehouse in different states (each defined as Plant in SAP).
    At any time Stock exists in any of 60+ Plant and Main ware house Plant. However Purchase requirement and Purchase Order is created and placed from Only Main Warehouse Plant.
    Now I am implementing Consumption based Planning with MRP.  I am Planning to define a Scope of Planning for Total Planning.
    Clarification I request :
    1. Whether I need to define Only all 60+ Plants in Scope of Planning or can I include Main warehouse Plant also ?
    2. In which case if there is requirement in one individual Plant and there exists stock in another one Plant - whether system will automatically create stock transfer Planned order. What Special procurement type I need to define for this (If it is 40 , whether I need to define any Issuing Plant, since I have 60 + Plants)
    3. If I have to run Forecast and Planning run daily for 60+ Plants and weekly for Main warehouse Plant, Whether I need to create a Separate Scope of Planning for 60+ Plants and a Separate Variant for Main ware house Plant with different Schedules - Am I correct
    Thanks and Regards,
    R.Velmurugan.

    Hi Kumar,
    Thanks for your immediate response.
    If we define Special procurement type 40 for 60+ warehouse Plants materials with Supplying plant as Main Warehouse Plant, then if there exists stock in one of 60+ Plants and there is requirement in one of another 60+ plants how system will consider and create stock transfer between them.
    Whether stock transfer between 60+ as well as Main plant is Possible ? If possible how to define Special Procurement type ?
    Secondly what ever issued from 60+ Plants is the real Consumption of Material (as Material issued from Main ware house plant to 60+ Plants is only stock transfers and not real consumption).
    In which case how to go about for forecast and MRP run for 60+ Plants and Main plant ?
    Thanks,
    R.Velmurugan
