Capacity and financial planning view in PPM 4.5

HI,
I am working on PPM 4.5 and would like to have some enhancements done in capacity planning and financial planning.
Can someone suggest what are the webdynpro components to look out for ?
Is it /RPM/UI_DASHBOARD ?
regards
abhishek

Hi Amit,
I'm using PPM 5.0. I have a requirement to Enhance the Financial Planning View. Where in I need to add an additional field(as a column).
But I'm stuck up in the technical how go.!(.
Do you have any idea on this enhancement? like, custom includes, BADI's etc..(I have got a BADI now /RPM/EX_FIN_PLAN, same you have mentioned in above post).
Amit, kindly help in this regard.
@Experts,
Hi experts please look into this requirement & give your points.

  • Simultaneous Capacity and Materials planning

    Hi all,
    We are at present using PP/DS ( we use PDS in MTS environment) for capacity planning. System generates planned orders
    based on the available capacity for the resources. We plan only FG in APO ie., raw materials are getting planned subsequently
    in R/3 MRP.
    Now we want the system to check the availability of raw materials for the FG before generating planned orders.
    Kindly tell broadly which components have to be used in APO / steps to followed.
    Thanks in advance.
    Durai

    Hi Durai,
    SAP does differentiate REM with MTO based on planning strategy. Also, planning procedure is important for PPDS.
    There are some standard heuristics available for different planning strategies.But the choices are large. Plus, if nothing is applicable, you can develop your own heuristic through ABP algorithm and add to planning.
    As regards to heuristics, you need to check whether standard heursitic can serve your purpose. e.g. there are standard MRP heuristic. It will explode PDS for materials planning. At the same time, based on your strategy, it may or may not plan finitely.
    Basic difference between MTS and MTO will be that in first case, there will ne netting of demand and receipts while in latter case, each demand is individual segment and cross exchange of receipts between two sales orders is unlikely.
    Once you fix your planning heuristic, you need to determine the detailed scheduling heuristic for fine tuning the receipts scheduling. You can go for PPDS otpimizer as well, if very optimized solution is required.

  • Financial Plan in Multiple Currency

    Hello,
    In the HTML screens I want to create Budget Lines using Multiple Currencies. This means create a line in USD for a certain Task and for the same Task create also an Euro line. I've checked the Multiple Currency option at the Financial and Workplan also added each Currency to the Work - and Financial Plan. Still I'm not able to enter Budgte Lines in other than the functional currency USD. Can someone help me out on this one or send information how this functionality has to be ste up in Release 12?

    First you need to do setup for the Multiple Currencies under "Plan Settings" Tab of Planning Options. Check "Plan Amounts in Multiple Currencies" check box and in the "Currency" Tab select the different currencies like EURO and give the rate.
    Now go to your Budget Lines and add 1 budget line using your default USD currency. Now select that Budget Line which you have created using your Default Project Currency and also select "Add Currency: EURO" from the Drop Down List of "Select Planning Elements" and press GO button. This will create another Budget Line using EURO Currency. Now enter the Quantity & Cost and see the difference of Cost Calculation.
    I hope it's clear for you.

    Hi Brandao,
    From the error log you had sent, it seems that the time zone maintained for the resource L-1000 is invalid which requires correction.
    Correct the time zone maintained in the resource and then retry

  • Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning and RPAS

    Hi, i'm new with Oracle Retail and ORACLE RPAS. I would like ton know the best way to backup RPAS or if RPAS support Real Application Cluster or something like that.
    We will install Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning component and i would like the best architecture to do it.
    Regards

    Question:
    What makes up the added value in OR MerchandiseAnalytics over ORDW?
    Both offer extraction layer, staging layer, datamart layer, aggregate layer, OBIEE + prebuilt reports.
    I want to know how the fact extraction layer on ORMS etc. is done using ODI. Unfortunately I see no CDC/Streams approach, that we have chosen to use for our extensions to the ORDW datamodel. Is the extraction logic more or less a rebuild of the good old Pro*C DWI programs?
    Some points:
    - More products have been connected to ORMA, additional to RMS: ReIM, ReSA, ORMFP, ORPM.
    - ORMA has had an technology update for the ETL, from OR-only's custom RETL to the more general Oracle ODI (formerly Sunopsis).
    - Is it the promised/future integration of one set of conformed dimension reused and shared over all other to-be OR analytics products? (Like Marketing, Planning, Supply Chain, Stores).
    - ORMA offers 'Dashboards' - may be straightforward to make in RDW-OBIEE?
    - ORMA offers multiple timeviews, where base RDW only offers AsWas (SCD2) - bsiness users may appreciate the AsIs view, and PIT.
    Cherio,

    According to the RMS13.2 release notes (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12448_01/rms/pdf/rms_rfm_br/132/rms-132-rn.pdf), RETL and all RETL based interfaces to ORDW are desupported from 13.2!
    “Discontinued Support for Oracle Retail Data Warehouse (RDW) Interfaces
    A new analytical application is in development. Because of this strategic decision, support for interface between Oracle Retail applications and Oracle Retail Data Warehouse has been discontinued for Oracle Retail 13.2 releases. Oracle Retail Extract, Transform, and Load (RETL) extract scripts for RDW are not supported for use with Oracle Retail 13.2 applications and databases.”
    That makes things a lot clearer!

  • Cache memory usage of Hyperion Planning, Workspace and Financial Reporting

    We have installed Hyperion Planning, Workspace and Financial Reporting in one single server and we would like to know is there any cache memory setting can be fine tuned to improved the overall online performance of the system.
    How can we control the memory usage of individual user logged into Workspace and Hyperion Planning? And if users generate a large size report in Financial Reporting, should more memory be allocated to the user so as to speed up the report generation speed?
    Thanks in advance!

    Our onsite consultants told us that as we have many web forms and some web forms contains lot of cells, the compiled Hyperion Planning application is quite large (> 1GB) and sometimes may have "out of memory" problem. We just wonder we are using 64bit version of Windows 2003 we should have a much larger memory address space. How can we improve the "out of memory" issue?
    Or Hyperion Planning is still a 32 bit application?

  • When to prefer Financial Plan Vs Form base budgets? Adv and Dis-advantage?

    Hello Experts,
    Can any one explain me the difference between Oracle projects financial plan vs oracle projects form based budgets?
    What is advantages of each of them and when to provide preference over each other?
    is it possible to use both of them simltaneously?
    Does forecasting functionality available in both of them?
    Need insight on this
    Thanks
    will Really appreciate ur response.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Form based budgets are the only supported budgets for Budgetary Control and integration of project budget with GL budget.
    If you are not using those functions, there is no advantage for the form based budget.
    With financial plan you can load budgets using Web ADI.
    You can use more robust resource lists.
    You can use multi currency amounts
    You can generate budgets and forecasts based on various sources like workplans, actuals, commitments and any customized logic using client extension.
    You can report on financial plans using the HTML project performance reporting.
    You can rollup budgets and forecasts amounts on a program.
    Summarizations are done immediately and you don't need to run a batch process.

  • Levelling: Work Distribution based on Resource Capacity and Project Priorities.

    Hi team,
    I have inherited about 25 projects and 15 resources spread across these projects. We use project server 2010 to manage projects....we launch any lest a new project each month. We run Weekely modelling.Having a nightmare managing shared resources. Hoping
    that I can get some of my questions answered here and bring back some semblance of sanity.....so here goes my first question.....
    lets assume I have two resources;
    resource1 whose allocation for project activities is 75%. His capacity in resource center view in pwa is 6 hours and resource 2 who has 8 hours capacity per day.
    let us assume there is a 28 hour, fixed work  task on which both the resources are assigned.
    let us assume that this task can start on jan1st -
    scenario1: both the resources are working on only 1 project.
    is the project server smart enough to assign 12 hours to resource1 and 16 hours to resource2, so that both of them finish at same time?
    scenario2: a higher priority project gets introduced in the portfolio because of which resource1 will not be available till 2nd Jan to Start work.
    is the tool smart enough to assign more work to resource2 to ensure that both of them finish the task on project1 same time?
    Thanks in advance...
    Lakshmi 

    If you assign a single person to a Fixed Work task they will work on it for as long as it takes at their default Maximum Units.
    If you add a second person the task will take less time and the work will be apportioned based upon both resources maximum units.
    If you specify the work on the task before assigning the first resource (add the work column to a tabular view and enter a value in the work cell for a task) Microsoft Project will behave as
    you are looking for in your question.
    For example I create a new Fixed Work task and it shows with 1d? duration - I enter 28 hours work in the work cell - the task still shows 1d? duration. I assign a person to the task who works to the same base calendar as the project but who has maximum units
    of 75% defined and can therefore work 6 ours per day.
    I assign them to the task and the duration changes to 4.67 days - this is how long it will take someone who works 6 hours per day to complete 28 hours work. Technically speaking the duration is 4.6666 recurring days but project only shows 2 decimal places.
    If I know assign an additional resource to the same task and that person works 8 hours per day as their maximum units are 100% the duration will reduce to 2 days and the work will be apportioned 12/16 to the two resources.
    So the tool is smart enough to behave in the way you are expecting in Scenario 1.
    It will not however make decisions for you to address Scenario 2 unless you engage in
    "Multi-Project Resource Levelling" if you do this and your Projects do have different priority values then Resource Levelling will deploy resource to the more important project first in cases where a resource has conflicting assignments across
    projects in the same window of time.

  • Regarding workcenter capacity and scheduling

    Hi Experts,
                     I have created a workcentre and maintained all formula's for each activity in the workcentre.Now what I want is that, while confirming the activity , If workcentre gets overloaded beyond tolerance limit then it must issue a warning message and wont allow us to confirm that much activity.
    Case 2:
             If capacity is overloaded then the timeframe also should mave accordingly as automatic scheduling.
    your valuable suggestion would be highly appreciated
    Regards
    Ashutosh Saraf

    Hi,
    Work center capacity and activity confirmation both are different entities and this is what I guess. Please correct me if wrong.
    Let me put it this way...
    Work force is assigned at work center level which let you know the total capacity being maintained at referenced work center. If some one asked me about what is the capacity of work center A, then my reply is 64 hours/day (10 persons with 8 hrs each and performace 80%). Thats how we derive the capacity of WC.
    Now coming to Activity confirmation: for example you have planned hours of 100 on NWA and keep confirming periodically. When you cross the limit of planned 100 hours system gives a warning that activity is already confirmed (I mean reached 100% of planned work) but still allow you confirm beyond planned hours.
    In combined view of WC and NWA, system never gives any kind of warning message even if you going beyond the planned hours on NWA.
    As Mahendra pointed out, capacity evaluation and levelling being done manually and there is no automated process available unless you have developed program which takes care off.
    Case2: Capacitiy overloaded or underloaded, capacity levelling to be performed basing on available capacity at work center level by manually. 
    The time frame adjustment (I assume you are talking about automatic scheduling), if activity confirmation is less than the planned distributed value, whenever system schedules automatically and let you know ETC (Expected time of completion). for that you have to select the automatic scheduling check box at NWA.

  • Year/Annual planning/view option in iCal

    I would like to find a way to print a Year/Annual planning/view option in iCal, but I could not figure out a way to do it.
    Does anybody knows how to do do it?
    If it is not possible, can anyone recommend a script/plugin to achieve it? Or another software that can import iCal calendars and then print Year/Annual planning/view?
    Thanks,
    Anselmo

    Me too! Please please someone reply to this request! This is a vital option that needs to be made available as a view AND print option.
    Some small improvements to the print dialogo window would also be appreciated:
    I think it would be more efficient if the calendars/subscriptions to print were all OFF by default: I would imagine it is more often the times you are printing a selected calendar, rather than all of them together.
    The frame containing the calendars also needs to be expandable making them all visible at a glance. Scrolling through lists in a dialog is a no-no (or for Windoze).
    Thanks for any help on this.

  • Needing a multi-month and year-in-view option for ical!

    Hello all!
    I could really use a multi-month and year-in-view format in ical... I've seen some dated posts - is anyone aware of any new developments/options for this?
    thanks and peace-
    DW

    I turn off all calendars but the birthdays. Select [Print]. Choose all the months you want to see. Deselect all calendars but birthdays. Click [Continue]. On the next menu, go to "Layout", select how many pages to print on the paper. I usually print a border around each calendar then you're good to go!
    By only printing the birthdays calenar, you won't get too many appointments to get in the way of brain storming and future planning, yet the computer still thinks its printing a useful calendar.

    I appreciate the help and thanks in advance.

    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

    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

    u2022 EE contribution variant
    u2022 ER contribution variant
