Hi,
FMCG is not as simple - I don't think anyone can explain this in one reply at the forum.
What FMCG stands for is FAST MOVING CONSUMER GOODS, because it is fast moving there are improved SAP functionality to address this specific business requirement.
I suggest you read the help files on help.sap.com SAP Retail for example.

Business Scenarios in Consumer Products Industry -- need help
Hello Experts,

Can anybody help on this. I really appreciate the help.
Thanks

MaheshHi Nilson,
The business processes mentioned can be used for any industry. There is not restriction as such.
These business processes are more relevant for those industry.
e.g. Outsourced Manufacturing / WO Collaboration is extensively used by High-Tech companies. Even the recent enhancement requirements have come from High-Tech companies.
Similarly, Kanban / SMI is extensively used by Automotive. But SMI is also popular with High-Tech.
CP industry is biggest consumer of Responsive Replenishment process.

Typical Production cycle in Manufacturing / production industry
Hello All,
i want to know about ,
Typical Production cycle in Manufacturing / production industry...
help me....Hi,
The question is very wide. Different companies operate in different ways. Also a single Manufacturing Plant can have various cycles and processes. But if I generalize it then the typical production cycle consists of the following steps:
1. The requirements for the finished goods are calculated based on the forecasts, sales targets etc.
2. Then the detailed production plan is drwan as how to meet these requirements.
3. The production orders are created as per the production plan and released to the shop floor to carry out the production activities.
4. As per the Production Order the required components are withdrawn from the stores.
5. The production is carried out (and confirmed).
6. Then the Finished goods so produced are delivered to the stores.
This is the overall structure of process. There can be as many numbers of methods to do this.
For further clarifications, please revert.
Hope that helps.

Difference Between Production Industry & Process Industry
Hi Freinds,
Hi have a query. What is the major difference between Production Industry & Process Industry?
I will give you a following example. Please carefully read it.
Take a example of TATA Motors. We all know it produces automobiles. So we will consider it as a Production Industry. But at the same time it uses the Paint to paint the vehicles is produced by it only. So can we call it as a Process Industry? If yes please explain it.
I will award deserving points accordingly for every reply.
Thanks & Regards
Saeed Arifproduction:- conversion / processing the raw materials to finished products.
differen type of industry:
job type of industry:- this is of mainly MAKE TO ORDER TYPE , suiting the particular customer requirments , after getting the order only you start doing the production
eg:- Turbine mfg by BHEL, Aircrafts and ship buildings etc.
so here your planning and costs change one order.
Repetative mfg or Batch tpe production: here the products wll be made in batches as lots eg 2000no or 5000nos qty as batches ,
here the planning and costing etc will differ from one batches to another.
eg: Automobile , apperal industry. this can be produced by strategies MAKE TO STOCK or by MAKE TO ORDER,
PROCESS INDUSTRY OR CONTINOUS TYPE OF PRODUCTIONS:
in this type of industry the Process remains same (constant) and procucts may with slight variation in composition, in this type of industy almost every thing is mechanised . this type of indstry will have LINE LAY OUT/PRODUCT LAYOUT
ie at one entry all the materials go in one line and processed and at the end of the line you will be getting finished products. the complete line will be controlled by automated sensors by using sopostigated sensors. the only problem here is that in LINE if one macine /station is have break down the complete production will comes to halt as one machine/station output is going to be input for oher staion/machine.
eg: cement, paints , food and beverages etc.
you can seggregate indstry type by materials or by the type of layout(ie mfg line)
so now coming to your doubt : TATA - AUTOMOBILES following hybrid type of laty out ie mfg of automobiles is functional layout , where there is flexibilty of planning , from paint sections on wards it follows line layout ..
so you have to call it is as product industry , intern which have line layout for cetain operations , which pertains to process industry... -

Transfer of Free of cost unit at 10% markup to Main product
Dear Gurus,
we are consumer products industry and offer bundle scheme i.e. one unit free on the purcahse of one unit.Let assume our main unit is LCD TV and free of cost unit is BD player. both units have common Division and common profit enter. we offer that on purchase of LCD (Sale Price PKR. 100,000) BD Player (COst price PKR 10,000) is free
now managment wants that when they execute profitiblity report of LCD it should show following figures
Sales Price of LCD PKR 100,000
Less COst +10% transfer price of BD player 11,000
Net Sales Revenue of LCD TV 89,000
while as we see profitibility of BD player it should show followings
COst Price of BD player PKR 11,000
10% profit margin(Mark up) PKR 1,000
Totale Sales Figure PKR 12,000
While At present following figures are being derived i.e.
Sales Price of LCD PKR 100,000
and net result of BD players is NIL
Requirement
Transcational Procedure `to transfer BD player COst price +10% to LCD and how to get above desired figures which are realistic
BR
SajidaHi,
The copy control setting can be made through VTFL
But not sure about percentage of margin, it will transfer hole cost of free item to main item
For your requirement in pricing procedure create two conditions for represnting cost
Say
PR00 - is for basic price - 100000
VPRS - Cost - 10000
VPRM - Margin Cost - 1000
Profit will be 89000
Now to bring the 10 % cost from free item to main item you have to write routine and assign in pricing procedure aginst VPRM condition

hello Gurus
I want to do the sizing with the quick sizer from marketplace, but i don t have clearly the terms, please send me info about sizing in BI, the help indicates:

User Groups Business Planning
Planning 1,
Planning 2,
Planning 3 Definition
The general idea is to define user groups which are determined by the number and size of data records they work with and the types of planning functions they execute. If you are not sure exactly how many data are involved, you can take the proposed values, which are based on internal measurements and customer feedback.
Specifics for User Groups Business Planning
Users
Estimate the highest number of active users per hour. Opposed to other sizing approaches in the Quick Sizer you can arbitrarily include users in a specific group. Normally the user groups reflect the fact that you have power, medium and occasional users (example at "Planning steps per user").
Planning steps per user
Estimate the peak number of planning steps per user and hour.
Example for "Users" and "Planning steps per user"
A user carries out six planning functions, the first three work on the same set of data (5,000 records), the other ones each work on separate set of 600 records. If this sequence is carried out every 20 minutes, we were faced with 18 planning steps per hour and user.
Average number of data records per planning step
A planning step always contains exactly one planning function, for example a formula function. If that planning sequences are used, these cannot be calculated as a planning step, instead the number of planning functions contained must be entered. The average number of data records manipulated by one single planning step has an impact on the CPU time consumed by a user.
Example
In our example we have an average of 2,800 ( = (3 * 5,000 + 3 * 600) / 6) records per planning step.
Note
o The term planning step is often understood from a business view, where it means a total run of a planning area. Here, we take a functional perspective.
o The memory requirement and CPU consumption is estimated on the basis of this data. To determine memory requirements, we assume that there is an average data record length of 1KB.
Maximum data per planning step
Estimate the maximum number of data records manipulated by one single planning step.
Example
As mentioned above the planning functions work through different sets of data. The maximum number is 5,000 per hour and user.
Maximum data per user
Estimate the maximum number of data records a user holds in memory simultaneously. This is needed to estimate the memory consumption of a user.
Example
Take the example mentioned above. If the user doesn't leave the transaction, he holds 6,800 (5,000 + 600 + 600 + 600) records in memory. Please keep in mind, that the set of data is the sum of records read and records created
Comment
Editing/creating data records is achieved by planning functions or manual planning. We do not differentiate between these two types for sizing, as both of them are used to manipulate data records.
We only size "User Groups Business Planning". NetWeaver BI server must be sized separately. However, the sizing result includes the part of NetWeaver BI that is used to deliver the transaction data to "User Groups Business Planning". For sizing the load generated on the NetWeaver BI system by "User Groups Business Planning" we assume that 30% of all executed planning steps access NetWeaver BI. For the remaining 70% of the planning steps we assume that they manipulate data records which have already been read by NetWeaver BI.
BI Users
BI-INFO,
BI-BUSIN.,
BI EXPERT Definition
In NetWeaver BI, we distinguish roughly between user types according to their frequency of activity and the reporting they will normally do.
Active User Type Navigation Steps per Hour This user will predominantly ...
Information Consumer 1 ... view predefined and static reports
Business User 11 ... navigate within reports, do slicing and dicing, but usually hit aggregates
BI Expert 33 and more ... run ad-hoc queries with a high probability of full table scans
A navigation step includes drilling down in the reports and corresponds to nine dialog steps in the SD benchmark. If you don't know the user distribution, a typical ratio in the NetWeaver BI environment is 71% : 26% : 3% (Information Consumer : Business User : BI Expert).
Comment
The system automatically calculates the Java parts which are shown at the result level.
If BI Java is not used, you should add 5 % to the SAPS of the application server.
User Groups Reporting & Analysis
Definition
Collection of a selection of characteristics and key figures (InfoObjects) for the analysis of the data of an InfoProvider. A query always refers exactly to one InfoProvider, whereas you can define as many queries as you like for each InfoProvider.
For sizing purposes we distinguish between three query types which are defined by the load they create in the system.
Report Viewing: Predefined, static, reports using optimal aggregates
OLAP Analysis: Slicing and dicing, navigating in reports, using various aggregates
Data Exploration: Data mining, that is ad-hoc reports with unpredictable navigation paths, access of detail data, full table scans
Any user can do any type of query. However, experience shows a certain activity pattern, as you can see in the table below.
Query Type Report Viewing OLAP Analysis Data Exploration Total Percent
Information Consumer 80% 20% 0% 100%
Business User 50% 50% 0% 100%
BI Expert 0% 0% 100% 100%

In this section you can specify how many records you need to upload within your peak time interval.

Definition
The central objects upon which reports and analyses in NetWeaver BI are based, are called InfoCubes. An InfoCube describes (from a reporting point of view) a self-contained dataset, for example, of a business-orientated area.
An InfoCube has a particular type:
BasicCube which is a collection of relational tables arranged according to the star schema: A large fact table in the center, surrounded by several dimension tables.
MultiCube which is based on the basic cube. It combines data from several BasicCubes/RemoteCubes, and brings it together into one context. The MultiCube itself does not contain any data; its data comes exclusively from the BasicCubes it is based on.
RemoteCube to carry out reporting using data in external systems without having to physically store transaction data in NetWeaver BI.
Only BasicCubes physically contain data on the database. MultiCubes and RemoteCubes simply display logical views of a dataset. The InfoCube type is not important, as far as reporting is concerned. A query definition always refers to one InfoCube. The difference between the InfoCube types becomes important at the point when you select data for the query.
InfoCube types: From the list below you can choose additional InfoCubes, just take the information and fill it in the questionnaire.

Specifics for InfoCubes
Dimension
A grouping of those evaluation groups (characteristics) that belong together, as regards contents, in one generic term. With the definition of an InfoCube, characteristics are summarized into dimensions in order to store them in a table of the star schema (dimension table). An InfoCube has no more than 16 dimensions, of which three are standard (package, time, unit) and included in the sizing by default. You can therefore enter only 13 dimensions at most.
Key figures
Values or quantities, such as sales revenue, fixed costs, sales quantity, or number of employees.
In addition to the key figures saved on the database, you have the option of defining derived (calculated) key figures in the query definition in the Business Explorer. Such key figures are calculated using a formula from the key figures of the InfoCube.
Examples of derived key figures are "sales revenue per employee" (sales revenue divided by number of employees), "variance as a percentage", or "contribution margin".
Initial load & periodic load
Initial load: Specify the estimated number of records which you plan to load into the cube initially.
Periodical load: Specify the estimated number of records which are loaded in your periodical upload process. You should take into account that you upload data volume grows with time.
Number of periods
Specify the total number of uploads which will be kept in the InfoCube. Example: if you want to keep weekly data for 5 years, you should enter 260 (52*5)
Short text
If you have several different InfoCubes of the same type, use short text to attribute names in order to identify them more easily.
DataStore Object
DS OBJECT Definition
A DataStore Object serves to store consolidated and debugged transaction data at a document level (atomic level). It describes a consolidated dataset from one or more InfoSources. This dataset can be analyzed with a BEx Query or InfoSet Query.
A DataStore contains a key (for example, document number/item) as well as data fields that can also contain character fields (for example, order status, customer) as key figures. The data of a DataStore Object can be updated with a delta update into InfoCubes and/or other DataStore Objects in the same system or across systems.
In contrast to multi-dimensional data storage with InfoCubes, the data in DataStore Objects is stored in transparent, flat database tables.</b>Hi,
BPS ;- Here you need to decide if you r really going to use this...If your are not going to use Business planning and simulation then skip this part.
In case of no. of users ....Take information from your client that how many no. of users will be there and then distribute these user as per gide lines given by sap. ( In quick sizer this help is available on market place )
Then decide which modules u r going to take in BW.
( In our case BW implementation is limited to SD, FI and CO. )
After this talk to your functional people and decided how many records will be generated per day for each module and for each functionality.
This is required to decide disk space.
Then list down all the infocubes and ods which are installed count dim. and key fig. for each cube. For ods count key fields and data fields.
Hope this helps....

SAP R/3 Mapping with EDI IDOC's 846 and 852 (Outbound)
Hi:
How are the following EDI IDOC Types mapped in SAP - R/3?
1. Inventory Inquiry / Advice (846)
2. Product Activity Data (852)
What is the basic type, message type, idoc type that has to be used
in both the cases - outbound based ones.
This is a consumer products industry and not a retail industry. This
is a hypothetical scenario where the end customer would like to see
the price and the stock from all the plants and then place an order
(846); and also see what is being planned in aparticaular plant for
a planning period (852). The cycle countings are carried out based
on the type of product in question and SAP-R/3 has been set up for
this. What is the trigger point for the enitre activitiy to take
place. Any valuable suggestions or guidelines are most welcome.

Difference between Inventory cube 0IC_C03 and 0CP_IC_C1
Hi Gurus
I'd like to ask what's the difference between this 2 cubes in inventory? 0IC_C03 and 0CP_IC_C1 ? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
- KitHi,
Well I am not an expert on Inventory but this is what I know:
0IC_C03 - LO Cockpit cube - Standard Inventory qty and values. This can be used for all purpose on a generic basis. This is not customized for any specific Industry sector. A standard ECC can use this as well as Retail can use this.
0CP_IC_C1 - This is also an Inventory cube containing value and quantities but this is more specifically designed for CP industry sector (Consumer Products). Here the BW transaction keys are different meaning that events/movement types specific to CP industry transactions will generate these transaction keys which gets updated to BW.
Also the cube 0CP_IC_C1 KPIs are average figures on the stock quantities and values (Exception Aggregation: Average Over Calendar Days). Whereas in 0IC_C03 the KPIs (NCKFs) are based on last value (Exception Aggregation: Last for Calendar Days)
Therfore if you are not aiming at Consumer Products Industry specific implementation, I would recommend 0IC_C03 cube.
