Forecast profile not selected by forecast job

Hi Experts,
I am wondering why forecast job in background does not select the forecast profile, which I have assigned in interactive planning. It always takes the job profile even though in activity definition the checkbox (Always use job profile) is unchecked!?
My other question addresses assignment of CVC's to forecast profiles: for a specific CVC is there a way to figure out in which forecast profiles this CVC is included? Checking this in TX /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 is very time consuming.
Many thanks for your support

MAPE error will be calculated regardless of strategy mainatained in profile. but make sure you have selected MAPE error calc method while creation of forecast profile.
MAPE( mean aboslute persentage error) is the best method to analyse error even SAP recommended to use this method to get best results.

Selection generated with Navigational Attribute and store forecast profile

Hi,
Our business has a requirement that will require for the solution a Forecast Profile to be stored against a selection which was generated with a navigational attribute in the selection. I have found two SAP Notes 329707 and 394076 shown below which point to BAdi /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST5 method SEL_CHANGE to do the job. Can anyone help me in understanding what coding we need to do within the BAdi to get this to work. Does anyone have an example?
SAP Note 329707
Method:
    SEL_CHANGE (as of SCM 4.1)
    This method can be used to change the selection to be stored in
    in the generated selection table. Navigation attributes can be
    removed, such as the function of assigning a forecast
    profile to the selection can also be allowed for selections with
    navigation attribute without a basic characteristic.
    Parameter
     IV_PAREAID      Importing Type /SAPAPO/TS_PAREAID
     CT_SELECTION    Changing   Type /SAPAPO/TS_IOBJ_SELECTION_TAB
Sample code:
    DATA: lv_tabix     TYPE sytabix.
    DATA: lt_chars     TYPE /sapapo/dm_int_chars_tab.
    DATA: ls_chars     TYPE /sapapo/dm_int_chars.
    DATA: ls_selection Type /SAPAPO/TS_IOBJ_SELECTION.
    IF iv_pareaid = 'PAREA1'.
      CALL FUNCTION '/SAPAPO/TS_PAREA_SINGLE_GET'
        EXPORTING
          iv_pareaid   = iv_pareaid
        IMPORTING
          et_chars     = lt_chars
        EXCEPTIONS
          not_found    = 1
          OTHERS       = 2.
      CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
      LOOP AT ct_selection INTO ls_selection
                          WHERE iobjnm NE '9AVERSION'.
        lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
        READ TABLE lt_chars INTO ls_chars
                            WITH KEY iobjnm = ls_selection-iobjnm.
        IF sy-subrc EQ 0 AND NOT ls_chars-atrnavfl IS INITIAL.
           DELETE ct_selection INDEX lv_tabix.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
SAP Note 394076
As of Release SCM 4.1, you can use the method SEL_CHANGE of the BadI /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST5 to process the selection before saving it to the generated selection tables. This allows you to save selections with navigation attributes, for example, where the selections do not have a specified basis characteristic. You simply need to delete the navigation attributes from the selection.

Is all the Navigational attribute checked for display during cube creatiion?

Apply custom GUID forecast profile to reforecasting activity?

Hi APO Experts,
My company currently uses only one master forecast method (auto model selection 2, forecast method 56) for every individual customer that we have in APO (~10,000 customers.) I would like to fine tune the process and be able to specify a forecast for certain individual accounts. We use SAP APO version 3.1.
In interactive forecasting mode, I have found the option to "Save assignment with unique forecast profile" (under Settings -> Forecast Profile) and I am now able to create customer specific forecasts with a unique "GUID." However, I am not sure how to utilize these forecasts through a roll forward. I roll my customer forecast window forward every month (ie, i change it from April 2011 - April 2012 to May 2011 - May 2012) by running a Mass Processing activity. But I can not find the GUID forecast profiles when I set up the mass processing activity. I tried deactivating the "always use job profile" button but that still doesn't work - instead of using the GUID specific forecast profiles during the reforecasting, APO will populate those customers with the default master forecast profile. Is there a step that I am missing?
I appreciate your time and help,

Hi arun,
If i understand your situation,
You put
Validity start date as may and validity end date as dec
constant factor before start date '0'
constant factor after end date '100'
still you see forecast for march april.
if that is the issue, This might happen as per default settings, i think the default settings are constant factor before start date as 100%.
do the following
I dont know how the screens look in 4.1
But in the phase in profiles go to Menu option GOTO> settings
there you can define if constant factor by default should be zero or hundred.
The main reason why this happens is if you try to put 0 as the constant factor before the start date, it does not save anything. so you need to make the default settings that constant factor before the start date is 0 %.
let me know if this helps you or if the problem still persists.
Thanks,
Mythilee

How is the forecast profile tied to the article master?

Hello-
I understand how to create a forecast profile, but I assume there is some way to assign that profile to articles or material groups, and I cannot figure that out. If it is assigned, it will show on the article master in the right field, but it cannot be changed or maintained in the article master directly. So, there must be another method to link/assign these outside of the article master.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks-
Brady

Hello-
Thank you for the answer, I found it - I have a Retail system, so it is structured a bit differently, but the tab is ultimately there.
Thanks again-

Mandatory/Default field for mrp/forecast profile mrp area

Dear guru,
In MM01/MM02 when i create a new mrp area for a material I want Mrp profile field and forecast profile field as mandatory field. Or as alternative solution purposed with a default.
How can I do that ?

Dear Murugesan ,
in OMSR i make the mrp profile (MDMA-DISPR) and forecast profile (MDMA-PROPR)
as required entries in the screen sequence.
But when I create/change mrp area fields the system dont consider as required these fields.
Are you sure that the field selection for data screen is concerning also for mrp area fields ?
Thanks.

Creating a New Forecasting profile for MRP

Hi there,
Please can somebody let me know how do I create a new Forecasting profile for MRP.
I want to see this in table MRPR once created. (field PROPR).
Kind Regards,

Dear marelizen
Use transactio code MP80.
Creating a Profile
The information contained in this info object is relevant to the material master for industry and to the article master for retail. Retail customers are requested to substitute:
article for material
requirements planning for material requirements planning or MRP
1. In the Material Master menu, choose Profile ® MRP profile or Forecast profile ® Create.
The initial screen appears.
2. Enter the name you want to give the profile.
If you want to use an existing profile as a reference, enter its name under Copy from so that the system can copy its values to the new profile.
3. Choose Selection screen.
The selection screen appears. It shows all the fields that can be copied to the MRP or Forecasting screen in the material master record.
4. Enter a profile description and select the fields you want the profile to contain, specifying whether each field is to be copied to the material master record as a fixed value or as a default value.
It is not possible to select Fixed lot size and Maximum stock level in a single MRP profile. However, if you select Maximum stock level, you must also select Lot size (materials planning).5. Choose Data screen.
MRP profile data is spread over two screens. To switch from one screen to the other, choose Data screen 1 or Data screen 2.
When you access the data screen from the selection screen, the system checks whether the fields selected are allowed to appear in the same profile.
The data screen appears, containing only the fields you selected on the selection screen. The fixed values and default values are displayed in different colors. All fixed values are required fields except where the field can also be left blank.
If, in the forecast profile, you enter N or 0 as the forecast model, no forecast is made.
Like forecast model N, if you enter forecast model 0 when maintaining a forecast profile, you will be unable to maintain any other field in the profile.
Unlike forecast model N, forecast model 0 deletes any existing forecast values when you change the material. This ensures that these values are no longer included in materials planning.
6. Enter the corresponding values and save the profile.
If the system detects inconsistencies or errors, it asks you to change the fields selected on the selection screen and/or to correct the values. Otherwise, the initial screen appears, where you can begin to create another profile.

Forecast profile not calculating error

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem related to forecast profile. I created forecast profile using seasonal model (Not Master forecast profile). When back job run. It's try to run with seasonal model, but it's can't, so it's don't compute MAPE error. With out MAPE it's does not know that it need to go back to Master forecast profile (56 and MAPE) or not.
So, I don't know why it not calculating MAPE? Do any one facing same kind of problem?

MAPE error will be calculated regardless of strategy mainatained in profile. but make sure you have selected MAPE error calc method while creation of forecast profile.
MAPE( mean aboslute persentage error) is the best method to analyse error even SAP recommended to use this method to get best results.

MRP/Forecast Profiles - Program RMMM0001

Hi,
anyone out there knows how to turn off the program RMMM0001? It will run whenever a MRP or Forecast Profile is changed or Deleted.
In addition, can this auto-schedule be configured? That is, only run whenever change is done (even default value change) and no run if profile is deleted.

Assigning cvcs to forecast profile (in mass)

Hi All,
We have loaded thousands of new CVCs into Demand Planning and would now like to assign then to a single forecast profile. I thought that it was possible to do this via a background job since this contains a selection profile and a forecast profile. However, after the job completes, I do not see an assignment. Is there something that I may be missing here (a setting) or am is there another way to assign numerous CVCs to a forecast profile?
Regards,
Rumi,

Datta,
I am familiar with this transaction but I am not sure it is the best way to solve this problem I have described? Also, if new CVCs are generated they need to be assigned to the master profile via the background job. I don't want to have to use /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 to do this. Also, I don't know how you can assign a forecast profile to 10000 or more CVCs in this transaction?

Forecast Profile by Users

Hello,
We have Forecast profiles that run as Batch jobs once in a month and there are other forecast profiles which users execute in the interactive planning.
I was wondering if any configuration can be made to prevent users from viewing Batch Run Forecast Profiles in the Interactive Planning.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
Sanju

If you have a Authorization team(or SAP security team) that helps a lot - just give them the object and the who(or what role) is to be assigned to what Forecast profile
but if you are a stand-alone consultant then try transaction PFCG
go to environment>Authorization objects> drill down to where this object is (or search).
There would be some help on authorizations that you can read to get an idea

DP- Forecast Profile

Hello SAPains,
The user changed the CVC status of 126 CVC.
How can user assign a similar forecast prolife to all CVC's. Can
we add through SDP19?
Please write back,
Thank you.
Regards
Rahul Chitte

Hi,
As per my understanding of your problem you need to create a selection ID which includes the "126 CVCs" you mentioned. Then you can assign this selection ID to /sapapo/msdp_fcst2. Alternatively you can also accomplish the same using /sapapo/sdp94. You can also create multiple selection IDs encompassing the "126 CVCs" you mentioned and assign them individually to the forecast profile.
The tx "sdp19" does not exist.
Hope this helps.
Thank You.

Abhishek

APO DP Forecast profile consistency check

I am using APO DP V5.
Has anyone any experience of using the 'forecast profile consistency check' pgm /sapapo/rmdp_fcst_prpfl_consis?
What exactly does it do?
Thanks,
Bob Austin, Atos Origin

Hello,
This report /SAPAPO/RMDP_FCST_PRPFL_CONSIS is consistency for forecast profiles
While there is no need to schedule the report automatically at regular intervals, there are some special situations in which it can be very useful.
When must this report be run?
1. When you transport forecast profiles from a system A to a system B. In this case, you must convert the internal version indicator (Id).
2. If you are having problems with the date display or if the system changes from the relative date specification to the absolute specification for no obvious reason.
When should you run this report?
1. If you are working with generated forecast profiles (user parameter /SAPAPO/FCST_GUIDS).
2. If you are using a manual forecast.
What exactly does this report do?
1. The internal version ID is checked.
2. Date fields are checked. Fields filled with 00000000 are initialized.
3. Overall profiles without any single profiles are deleted.
4. Generated forecast profiles that are no longer assigned to a selection are deleted.
5. The assignment of forecast profiles to a selection is deleted if the forecast profile no longer exists.
6. Parameters for the manual forecast are deleted for any forecast profiles that no longer exist.

Composite Forecast Profile

Hi,
     I tried to create Composite forecast profile. I got this error message when I tried to run it , "No suitable single profile is assigned to master profile." Not sure what happened. This is the steps that I did:
       1) Create Master Profile in forecast profile.
       2) Select "Composite Forecast" at the selection model and type in the name of Composite forecast profile.
       3) Go to Composite forecast tab and select my created univariate profiles.
       4) Assign weight to each univariate profile.
       5) Click "Save Single" profile button at the top.
       6) Click the clock icon (or F8) to adopt the change.
      Could anyone tell me what went wrong ? Thanks in advance for your help.
Paranee

Hi Paranee,
Did you check that your planning book had the check box composite forecast activated?
This could be the reason.
You can check this in transaction /SAPAPO/SDP8B
I hope this can help you.

Marín.
