Consume Forecast Option in Sales and Purchase Documents

Hi All,
We have a drop-down 'Consume Forecast' with options as "Yes" and "No" in Marketing Documents - Row Level. Can anyone please explain how it is used and the relevance and impact of this field?
Also, in a sales document, it shows as Y by default whereas, in purchase documents, it shows as N.
Please provide more details on this option and functionality.
Regards
Sudatt

Hi Sudatt,
Forecasts are used in conjunction with the MRP wizard to generate your stock requirements (buy or make) based on how much you forecast your business is going to sell.
The option to use Forecasts in MRP is one of the options on the Data Source stage of the MRP wizard.
If you go into the General settings / Stock tab / Planning sub tab. You can tick or untick Consume Forecast.
Lets say you setup a forecast that says you are going to sell 100 items a month and you've already sold 25 items that month. If your MRP run has a data source of forecasts and consume forecast is ticked, it would say you only need to buy or make the remaining 75 from the forecast (the other 25 has been consumed by the amount you've already sold that month so you don't need to buy or make them). If its not ticked, it would add the full 100 to your requirements and it doesn't matter if you've sold 25 of them already or even 99, it will still recommend the full 100.
There should be some more info in the help file and I think there will be an elearning session covering this in more detail.

Adrian

Intracompany sale and purchase of material

Hi All
I would like to know how can intracompany sale and purchase be carried out in SAP?
Details of problem:
There are 2 LOBs under one company code which are represented by 2 diff plants, valaution area and profit centre.
When 1 LOB requires component "A" (trading component), then LOB 2 sells this item to LOB1 with profit margin.
How can this scenario be mapped in SAP so that my material inventory doesnt inflate and at the same time there is sale shown in LOB 2 and purchase in LOB1. Also corresponding entries of internal sale and internal purchase are shown in resp profit centre.
Request you to please help me out.
Regards
Rakesh

Hi gj,
SAP's answer to the requirement was already mentined above. SAP foresees to use a parallel profit center valuation where the internal sales would be represented.
from the help docu:
Company A sells a product to Company B, thereby realizing a profit that must be shown in its balance sheet (corporate and tax balance sheets). Because Company A and Company B both belong to a group, this sale is merely as an internal stock transfer when looked at from the point of view of the group. Thus no group (internal) profits can be realized as a result of this transfer. Such internal profits can also arise when the exchange is between two profit centers instead of two independent companies of the group.

S_ALR_87012357 report - Advance Return for Tax on sales and purchase

Hi Friends,
I would like to know few things in regards the VAT report S_ALR_87012357 report - Advance Return for Tax on sales and purchase:
(1) What information brings the S_ALR_87012357 report?
(2) As of now this report displays tax against vendor line item and not expense line item. Is there any other report that shows all the positions lines affected to tax?
(3) Is it possible that the tax line stays only in the expense line account and not in the vendor line account or not any intercompany line account?
(4) Is it possible S_ALR_87012357 report shows information about the tax allocanted in expense accounts and not in vendor accounts?
Appreciate a faster response.
Thanks in advance.

Please try report S_ALR_87012359. This report gives you opportunity to choose account selection.
I am unsure how the SAP is setup in your organisation. S_ALR_87012357 should pick up expenses selection as well.
This report entirely depends on tax code selection.

Getting the default zero-rated sales and purchase tax codes

Hi,
Does anyone know how to obtain the default zero-rated sales and purchase tax codes? ie the tax exempt sale and purchase tax codes. The OADM holds the default sales and purchase tax codes but not the default zero-rated sales and purchase tax codes. Is this set by region?
Lita

Hi Lita,
I don't know much about the zero rated tax codes or where it is set up, but what I can suggest is if you know where the system retrieves it (say on an Invoice) that you use SQL Profiler to possibly investigate where the queries are pulled from.
Where in SBO is the zero-rated tax codes used?
Hope it helps,
Adele

Sales and purchase journal - balance carry forward to next page

Hi all,
When we run sales and purchase journals in transaction S_ALR_87012357 (Belgium) and print it we want a summary per page and balance carry forward to next page.
The paging is correct by selecting "statistical info not printed" in output control but we don´t want only summary on last page, instead on every page and a total summary on last page.
Does anyone knows how to mangage this?
Best regards Lisa

Is there a way to default the sales and purchase analysis reports to show the most recent orders first vs. the oldest orders first in the list? I am refering to the reports that appear when you are in Item Master Data, and then click on the graphs in the Sales Data and Purchasing data tabs.
Thank you

Process blocked sales and distribution documents from the SAPoffice inbox

Hi,
I know VKM1/VKM3 can be used to release order.
And SAP help shows we can process blocked sales and distribution documents from the SAPoffice inbox. Could anyone tell me how?
I can use output type KRML to send a mail to SAPoffice inbox, but don't know how to release blocked sales orders in the SAPoffice inbox.
Many Thanks
Jean

Hello Jean,
Release the blocked document directly via mail received:
- After carry out the step 4 in note 677377, you will be able to
release the blocked document directly by:
Display the SAP office mail recieved;
Menu: Document -> Execute;
Then you will be redirected to transaction vkm3, with the blocked
document number defaulted on that screen;
Unfortunately, it is not possible to direct your mails to Outlook
and release the document from VKM3.
Best regards,
Lela

Edit back to back sales and purchase order with dropped ship warehouse

Hi
Our Client request to be able to edit back to back sales and purchase order with Drop Shipped WH which is frequently required according to their business nature in overseas trading.
Kedalene Chong

Hi Daniel,
In the PO Ship To address field, the database/company address will appear until a warehouse is selected. Once a WH is selected, that is the address that will appear. If there is no WH address, the company address is indicated in the field (note: no company name just the address).
If you want a different address/name, you can type it into the ShipTo address field and the PLD template will use whatever is in the field.
If it is because there is no company name on the PO - does this mean you want a different company name than the one in the PO header. If this is the case and the ShipTo address & company name is always the same, you can update the PLD template by changing the ST address field to Text and enter the company name & address you want on the PO. This will appear on every PO regardless of what is in SAP. If you want the company name to always be the same, add a text field above the ST address field and fill in the company name; the address will be pulled from the PO Logistics ST field (per the first paragraph above).
If this is not what you want, please explain in more detail what you would like to do.

FAGLB03 - cannot display asset no and purchasing document

When I used FAGLB03 to view balance (G/L account group is "Assets accounts") and drill into details, then I go to change layout and choose asset, purchasing document fields.
I find that the report cannot diaplay asset no and purchasing document value (all value is empty, but I can see asset no and purchasing at fi doc line item by T-Code FB03).
Please advice any solution.
Thanks!
Edited by: Eric Yang on Jan 30, 2008 11:40 AM

Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
But I can find asset no, purchase order no and Internal order no In T-Code FB03 display document line item for account type "ASSETS ACCOUNTS".
Beside, I use se11 to query table bseg for fi document, if account type = 'A', I can find asset no in fields ANLN1, ANLN2 and purchasing no in fields EBELN, EBELP.

Is the purchase order number and purchase document numer both are same

is the purchase order number and purchase document numer both are same or different?
thanks.

Hi Sunny,
Yes they are same. You will be creating a purchase order in ME21n. After creating purchase order you will shown a number for that order.
Reward points if useful.

How to extract User status for Sales and purchase contracts

Hello,
We need to load the User status linked to sales and purchase contract.
I think that there is no datasource in BI content.
What is the better solution ?
- Enhance a standard datasource like 2LIS_11_VASTH with a status field (This solution is not ok for Purchase contract)
- Create a spécific datasource to extract this status
- Others
Thanks for your help
Best regards
Christophe

Hi,
In your scenario its better to use generic extractor to get the reqd data. This data can than be stored in a DSO on the BI side.
And you can look up for the user status using a routine .

Rahul
