Assignments in Life Cycle Planning

Hi All,
1) In the assignment table of LCP, I am unable to upload many products at a time. I have more than 1000 Products to assign the LC profiles, so to upload (copy, paste from an excel), i am confined to at a time 7.
How can I paste atleast 20 or 25 at a time, instead of only 7 rows ? Is there any setting ? as its a tedious & time-consuming to do 7 each time ?
2) Also, when i try to 'Assign directly' with a profile for 5 rows, i see my profile there, but it wont automatically shows the periods. So i have to go to each row, and manually select again, to pop up the horizon dates. Why system does not automatically show the periods along with the Profile name ?
Anyone faced this problem ?
WIll appreciate for any help..
thanks
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
1. I don't know any standard tool for mass update here unfortunately. However there is one or two trick that might help you bit:
a. Change your screen resolution to make the front as small as possible: your screen is going to be bigger
b. first create dummy lines (create some dummy line, then copy then with "select block" and "copy") it will ensure you are not limited by the grey lines...
Not ideal... the alternative is abap...
2. If you have already define the right horizon in your profile, don't worry about filling the dates again. In the assignment tab the date are only use to overwrite the profile dates...

Mass functions in Life cycle Planning

Hi Experts,
Does anybody know if there is method using which we can create mass like profiles, or atleast carrying out a mass assignment of Phase out profiles, or Like profiles, Phase in Profiles in the Assingments table in Life cycle Planning?
We ahve the following requirements:
1. Assign 1 Phase out profile to some 5000 products, how can we achieve this other than manually assinging in the assignments table.
2. Is there a way to create 100's of Like profiles at one time?
I am looking for first SAP stadard functionality t handle this or other wise develop some custom programs to do it. But I am not sure how much feassible this is.
I really want to know how companies handle these requirements of mass discontinuation using Phase out profiles in DP.
If nothing works out, I think copying products from an excel and pasting it in the assingments table and then assigning one Phase Out profile to these products and repeating this step for 5000 products will be my only option.
Please help.

That select block functionality is the stupidest thing I have seen. I initially thought it was similar to 'select all' but it is not. Let's say you have 10 records & you want to select all. Then you select the 1st row and 10th row and if you use 'select block' then all records inbetween will be selected. You can then delete or copy them depending on your need.
The closest thing that I see here in assigning Like & PI/PO profiles is the 'Copy line' functionality. May prove helpful if you want to assign same like or PI/PO profile to many products. Ofcourse, you need to enter the products/characteristics but atleast the task of picking/choosing profiles can be minimized. Try & see how best you can use it in your mass assignment.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Srinidhi

How to run the life cycle planning in interactive planning

Hi every body,
Can any one explain me how to run the lifecylce planning in interactive plannings ?
i am getting an error messages when i run the lifecycle planning ..'no records from infocube "

Does Apple have a software life cycle plan showing support?

Hi!
Something like http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifeselect and http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifecycle ... I cannot seem to find it. I was told that Mac OS X 10.5.8 is no longer going to be updated?
Thank you in advance.

The thing that bugs me is not speed, but support. MS still supports XP (SP3) today and a couple more years. Apple seems to dump their softwares fast. :/
Actually, let's look at that, shall we?
XP went out of 'mainstream support' in April 2009. It's currently in 'extended' support for commercial (read: paying) customers. Are you paying Microsoft to support your XP system? Are you paying Apple to support your 10.4 system?
Furthermore, XP was available at retail until June 2008 - just 10 months before mainstream support expired. That's not so great. Even worse is the fact that XP was available to OEMs until October 2010, some 18 months after mainstream support expired. That's a winning combination if ever I heard one.
Yes, XP came out in 2001, so you could argue that it had 7 years of support, but it's not Apple's fault that there was a 6 year gap between XP and Vista, nor that Vista had such a poor uptake.
In fact, if you look at the official policy, Microsoft provide mainstream support for '2 years after the sucessor product is released'. Given that Apple, historically, have released OS updates every 18 months or so (give or take), and that they support the current and previous OS releases, you can see Apple have an 18 month policy while Microsoft has a 2 year policy. Not all that great a difference in the overall scheme of things.

what is (sdlc) software developement life cycle management in hyperion esssbase and planning ?

SDLC is a high-level concept (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_development_life_cycle) not a feature of a particular software package, so I'm really not sure what you're asking.
If you're asking about the somewhat related topic of moving changes through environments, look at About Lifecycle Management.

News products life cycle

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way or a tool on the Cisco website, to know the life cycle of a product? (end of maintenance, and of support, end of sale, end of life...)
This concerns news products, not formers for which information is of course on the Cisco website
best regards

Neha,
Yes, you can use the same Forecast profile for Lifecycle Planning which you use for Statistical Forecasting.
In the Master Forecast Profile, Make sure you Activate the " Lifecycle Planning Active" indicator.
Other required procedures being:
Creating Like Profile
Assigning the Like profile to Products/Characteristics in the Assignments section/table.
Let me know if you have any questions,

What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD?

What is the average duration of 1 full SAP life cycle or 1 end-to-end implementation. How long does it take to prepare DEV, QAS and PRD in any company?

Anand,
let me start with saying that the question you ask may not help you to determine the duration of your project. As Ryan and others stated the duration of the project is highly dependent on the scope of the solution you are implementing, geographical scope, amount of modifications/enhancements, number of languages, number of users that need to be trained, amount of standard processes customer is able to re-use in the implementation and many other factors (like quality of implementation contractor you will chose and availability of customer and implementors resources). I can probably go on for another couple lines, but I guess you get the idea.
With that out of the way let's talk about some example implementations that will give you an idea - Ryan did great job outlining what I would call traditional approach above. I have couple examples where customers leveraged innovative deployment strategies that are available today. In particular the project teams leveraged pre-packaged services like RDS, World Template or Best Practices as their baseline solution and they built from there. Second acceleration technique customers now leverage is the deployment in the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud to accelerate the time to initial setup of the system and thus move from traditional blueprinting to scope validation exercise that further shortens the time. There are other acceleration techniques we see applied in some cases like use of iterative implementation of the delta requirements on top of the baseline solution.
Let me offer few examples to illustrate what I explained above:
ERP implementation at Schaidt Innovations with 3 months long deployment of ERP solution using ERP RDS as a baseline (you can view their testimonial here - Schaidt Innovations: SAP ERP on HANA in the cloud - YouTube)
Customer in Asia with global template deployment that leveraged SAP ERP for Manufacturing with deployment to cloud and 9 countries rollout (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, UK, Germany and US). The initial deployment took 4 months for first country and 2 months for rollout into the additional 8 countries - so total of 6 months. The original plan using traditional approach with full blueprint and heavy configuration was estimated to be more than double of the actual deployment time.
There are many other examples where customers follow the assemble-to-order delivery model for their project and gain significant benefits doing so. I suggest you to review some of the recordings we did in 2013 about this approach and if you are member of ASUG review the Agile ASAP sessions we did for ASUG PM SIG.

What is step by step in real time project i.e. end-to-end life cycle?

what is step by step in real time project i.e. end-to-end life cycle?

Hi Vamsi,
The below explanation gives you an idea of what is going to come after what in a software development.
These below stages are know as Software Development Life Cycle/Waterfall Model.
1. System/Information Engineering and Modeling
As software is always of a large system (or business), work begins by establishing the requirements for all system elements and then allocating some subset of these requirements to software. This system view is essential when the software must interface with other elements such as hardware, people and other resources. System is the basic and very critical requirement for the existence of software in any entity. So if the system is not in place, the system should be engineered and put in place. In some cases, to extract the maximum output, the system should be re-engineered and spruced up. Once the ideal system is engineered or tuned, the development team studies the software requirement for the system.
2. Software Requirement Analysis
This process is also known as feasibility study. In this phase, the development team visits the customer and studies their system. They investigate the need for possible software automation in the given system. By the end of the feasibility study, the team furnishes a document that holds the different specific recommendations for the candidate system. It also includes the personnel assignments, costs, project schedule, target dates etc.... The requirement gathering process is intensified and focussed specially on software. To understand the nature of the program(s) to be built, the system engineer or "Analyst" must understand the information domain for the software, as well as required function, behavior, performance and interfacing. The essential purpose of this phase is to find the need and to define the problem that needs to be solved .
3. System Analysis and Design
In this phase, the software development process, the software's overall structure and its nuances are defined. In terms of the client/server technology, the number of tiers needed for the package architecture, the database design, the data structure design etc... are all defined in this phase. A software development model is thus created. Analysis and Design are very crucial in the whole development cycle. Any glitch in the design phase could be very expensive to solve in the later stage of the software development. Much care is taken during this phase. The logical system of the product is developed in this phase.
4. Code Generation
The design must be translated into a machine-readable form. The code generation step performs this task. If the design is performed in a detailed manner, code generation can be accomplished without much complication. Programming tools like compilers, interpreters, debuggers etc... are used to generate the code. Different high level programming languages like C, C++, Pascal, Java are used for coding. With respect to the type of application, the right programming language is chosen.
5. Testing
Once the code is generated, the software program testing begins. Different testing methodologies are available to unravel the bugs that were committed during the previous phases. Different testing tools and methodologies are already available. Some companies build their own testing tools that are tailor made for their own development operations.
6. Maintenance
The software will definitely undergo change once it is delivered to the customer. There can be many reasons for this change to occur. Change could happen because of some unexpected input values into the system. In addition, the changes in the system could directly affect the software operations. The software should be developed to accommodate changes that could happen during the post implementation period.
Reward if helpful.
Thankyou,
Regards.

Hi Ronald,
As required, more details and explanations as below.
1) SNP is a rought cut planning cycle
2) It involves 3 engines heuristic, ctm and optimiser
3) It basically plans for infinite planning and in some cases finite too
4) It has engines capable of producing optimised results with huge
constraints taken into account
5) It works based on master data like resource, product, location,
quota, transportation lane, costs etc.,
6) SNP plans based on DP output as forecast
7) Using forecast, it plans for production, procurement and distributes
its planning results
8) The SNP planning outputs are in the form of purchase requisitions
and planned orders
9) The outputs are again (optional) sent to PPDS for further detailed
planning (depends on the scenario)
10) Capacity levelling is part of SNP life cycle process to level the
bucket outputs
11) Optimiser basically considers costs into account for planning
12) Transportation lanes are basically maintained for Deployment
and TLB generations
13) In SNP, system tries to compensate between demand Vs
supplies.
Hope it is more clear to you now.
Please confirm

Regarding Life cycle

Hi
this is santosh
What is life cycle implementation? generally some companies ask the person have at least one life cycle implementation what does it mean?

hi,
life cycle implementation means we can develope project from scrach onwards.
life cycle implementation contains genarally 5 phases, these are
Five Phases of ASAP methodlogy.
Phase 1: Project Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to provide initial planning and preparation for your SAP project.
Phase 2: Business Blueprint - The purpose of this phase is to achieve a common understanding of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System. The result is the Business Blueprint, a detailed documentation of the results gathered during requirements workshops. The Business Blueprint document represents the business process requirements of the company. It is the agreed statement of how the company intends to run its business within the SAP System.
Phase 3: Realization - The purpose of this phase is to implement all the business process requirements based on the Business Blueprint. The system configuration methodology is provided in two work packages: Baseline (major scope); and Final configuration (remaining scope).
Phase 4: Final Preparation - The purpose of this phase is to complete the final preparation (including testing, end user training, system management and cutover activities) to finalize your readiness to go live. The Final Preparation phase also serves to resolve all critical open issues. On successful completion of this phase, you are ready to run your business in your live SAP System.
Phase 5: Go Live & Support - The purpose of this phase is to move from a project-oriented, pre-production environment to live production operation.

Accounting entries for OTC life cycle

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone of u can explain me the complete accounting entries that get credited and debited....right from booking an order till reconcilation (the whole OTC life cycle).
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi.

All looks good but there can be exceptions if you introduce two variables:
1. Invoicing Rules and Acconting Rules. These will affect your accouting in AR (Invoicing Rule will affect your Receivables and Accounting rule will affect the revenue accounting).
2. If you are on R12, there is Customer acceptance process that will change the accounting on both COGS and Revenue accounting a little bit but the final entry remains the same as you mentioned.
Forgot to mention: In someones blog on in Metalink's section where customer's documents are uploaded in knowledge base, I found a decent document that can help you with some more information.
Thanks
