Background jobs deleted when planning version is deleted

Hi everyone,
We are implementing SAP APO version 4.1. We have the following problem. We have a simulation version used from time to time. When it is not used, it is deleted for performance reasons. However, when we delete planning version, background demand planning jobs (SNP jobs as well) are deleted although we do not want this to happen. Is there any suggestion to overcome this problem?
Thanks in advance. Regards,
Jenny

Hi Jenny,
As mentioned by R. Senthil Mareeswaran. it is (unfortunately) standard.
The easiest solution in my opinion is to never delete completely a version.
However you can, to reduce the space consume by the version, "reinitialise" it: instead of deleting it, copy back the active version on your simulaiton version but FOR MASTER DATA ONLY.
This way all transactional data are deleted, which save a lot of space.
I think this will also automatically deinitialise the planning area... If not do that to!
Good new: if you do that yur jobs will not be deleted.
Next time you want to use the version, do again a copy, with transactional data!
Ps: your job can be transported from on system to another, so hopfully you haven't lost them all: just transport / reimport the request
good luck
Thanks and Regards
Julien

Job gets cancelled - Plan version cannot be planned for fiscal year

hello,
In R/3, I am trying to delete data using KEPM TCODEand the job gets cancelled with message "Plan version cannot be planned for fiscal year".
Does anyone know what I should do to resolve it.

Hello,
Thanks for your response.
I have checked OKEQ and
we have entries for fiscal year planning version and in operating concern the version is locked. I don't know if I should unlock the version and what will be the impact.

MDVP only working as background job

Hello,
I was working on the ATP check when i discovered the only way to actually perform this check correctly was to execute it as a background job. When executing online, the stock is just not committed (even with full confirmation logic set on in the MRP group).
It only works fine from the planned order.
Isn't it possible to run MDVP online ??
Any enlightements on this topic appreciated.
Olivier

Hi,
You can run the availability check in background with program RLD05000. You have to create variant and schedule this program in batch from SM36 transaction, Out out you can check in spool.

   Please suggest.

Thanks for reply.

Execution of Macro in Background job

We have created a macro in APO DP that uses 4 characteristics and a key figure. As part of the macro we are executing a Z-function that we have created. The problem occurs when executing the macro in a background job. When the background job is executed the macro processes correctly (performs the correct calculations) for the first CVC that is processes, but it is not able to process the rest of the CVCs.
ERROR: "There are no plannable characteristic combinations",
The function copies data from the CVC that is being processed (source CVC) to another CVC (target CVC). The values for the target CVC to which the data has to be copied for a particular key figure are determined from the paramaters that are given to the function in the macro.
The steps followed in the function are the following:
1- Determine the relation between source and target CVC, ie, from the source CVC that is being processes in the macro, the function determines the target CVC to which the data has to be copied.
2- Call BAPI "BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2" to retrieve the valuesthat are in the Planning Book for the source CVC.
3- Perform the addition of data (value retrieved from the source CVC is added to the target CVC).
4- Write value to the target CVC using BAPI "BAPI_PBSRVAPS_CHANGEKEYFIGVAL2".
When using the BAPIs the aggregation level used is the same aggregation as the one specified in the Background job used for the execution of the macro.
This macro is executed in a background job, and the copy/calculation is performed correctly for the first CVC (first CVC contained in the data selection used in the background job) processed, but then it does not do anything else for the rest of CVC's. The error message given by the log of the background job is "There are no plannable characteristic combinations", when in fact, the characteristic combinations do exist in the Planning Object Structure.

Hi Ian
There are not any other macros in the planning book.
In addition, if we execute the macro in interactive mode we have another error at the end of the execution (after doing all the combinations):
Invalid data status.
and we don't know why.

RESCCC - Generate cost collector as background job.

Hello,
I am trying to generate the cost collector. normally this is a two screen procedure. In the first screen I input the parameters and then execute it.
In the next screen the list of cost collectors appear with the red & white circle icon at the top. When I select the cost collectors and click on the icon, it generates the cost collectors and they are now ready for the next period.
We have a timeout setting of 900 seconds set in our system. As a result any foreground job that runs for more than that leads to a short dump. We cannot change this parameter.
Thats why I was trying to run the report as a background job. When I am running the background job, after a while when I am checking the status of the job I can find that the job has successfully finished.
The problem is that in this case I dont get the second screen from where I could select the cost collectors and then 'generate' them using the red & white circular icon. That screen just doesn,t come at all.
Can someone please tell me that if i run this as a background job then how may I get to the screen (the second screen) from where i can select the cost collectors and generate them?
Regards,
Suvarghya Dutta

Hello,
when RESCCC is run as background job the cost collectors for all specified settlement units should be generated without the need to select them in a second screen.
Please check that you have made the selections for settlement units and also the settlement period start and end date properly for your background job. If it still doesn't work please check the protocol of the background job for messages.

SAP HR _ OM -Plan versions

Hi Gurus,
I have created multiple Plan versions where one of the plan version is the current and the integration plan version. The company decides to re-org and use the Other plan version.
What are the configurations that have to be done? What changes will take place?
Can a customer just change the current plan version and use the Alternative ones? Is there any particular procedure to change the plan version from Current plan version?
Please help in understanding this concept.

Could you please explain to me what happens when you run this report. The report talks about the transport. I want to know what exactly changes and what all should be changed when Plan version is changed?
