COPA-KE3I, Tranasport for Planning Level

Dear All,
When i am using Transaction Code KE3I to create a transport Request for transporting Planning Levels, i am being prompted with a Work Bench Request and a Customizing request. Can you please explain the significance of the Work Becnh Request here(since in the T Code SE09 i find all the Planning Levels i intended to transport under Customising Request and the Work Bench Request seems to be empty).Should both these requests be transported ? Can you also guide me in the sequence of releasing them.
Best Regards
COTINYFEET

Dear Ajay ,
It seems i have no other option but to use KE3I in my Project. Now if i am using KE3I, and i have got two Reuests a) Workbench Request( this does not contain any Data when i see using SE09) b) Customizing Request(all the Planning Levels that are intended to be transported are there in this , used SE09 to view here).
These are my Questions
1) Should i Release both the Request. If so what is the sequence?
2) What are the consequences if i dont release Workbench Request(since it contains no objects to be transported) and release only Customizng Request?
3) Why should there be a Workbench Request Created here(KE3I), when i dont get it in KEPM(here only Customizing Request Is Created when i transport Planning Levels)
Could you please shed some light into my queries.
Best Regards
COTINYFEET

Setting # for 0CALYEAR in selection for planning level in BPS

hi all!
when i try to set # for 0CALYEAR (and other time variables) in selection for planning level in BPS, i recieve the following error message: 'Value # is not permitted for characteristic Calendar Year' (UPC003). As i understand, this problem began to occur after upgrading to SPS12.
we have BI 7.0 installed
can anyone help me solve this problem please?


Hi 
Check in year master data if value BLANK (#) exists. System should permit only those values for characteristics which are available in master data tables. 
Secondly, does system allow you to select value # for calendar year using the F4 drilldown?
 
Hope it helps.

Rough cut planning in SOP for resource levelling

Hello,
I am trying rough cut planning in SOP.
I have created rough cut planning profile for a product group by using MC35.
The task list exits for the product group.
In task list , work centre is maintained and the same is given while creating the rough cut profile.
This product group contains some part number.
When I try Views--->capacity situation -> rough cut planning--->show.
System gives error that -
> No resource load found.
Diagnosis given by system is as follows,
This situation may be caused by one or more of the following:
 No PP task list (rough-cut planning profile, rate routing, or routing) corresponding to the Customizing selection criteria has been defined for this material/product group at this scheduling level.
 Resources planning has not been configured appropriately in Customizing.
 The information structure which you are planning has not been configured appropriately in Customizing.
System Response
No capacity load could be determined.
Procedure
1. Check that a PP task list exists for this material/product group.
2. Check that a lot size range has been maintained in the PP task list.
3. Have your systems administrator check and, if necessary, change the resources planning settings in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning (the steps "Scheduling levels" and "Routing selection").
4. Have your systems administrator check that capacity planning has been defined for this information structure in Customizing.
Please let me know how to maintain the resource planning settings for scheduling level and routing selection.
Waiting for your reply.

Ravindra Deokule

Hi Ravindra,
You can use t.code mc84 to create a product group.
Pl follow the following steps to do SOP with product group.
1. Create a Product group in tcode MC84.
Enter a percentage for material say X & Y to be produced. X 40% & Y 60%. Total qty will be split in the ratio as per the %.
2. Create Production Plan in tcode MC81.
Enter the sales plan qty.
Then goto menu,edit & choose create Prodn Plan synchronus to sales.
3. Create Rough cut Planning Profile in tcode MC35.
4. Enter the Status ,Usage & lot size.
5. Choose resources tab & then choose work center & enter work center name which you consider as a bottle neck & then enter the unit of measure as 'min'.
6. Use MC82,
Choose inactive version and select your version.
then goto menu->views> capacity situation>show
7.Check for over loads & adjust your qty acordingly.once the load becomes 100 % save.
8. Change the inactive version to Active version in tcode MC78.
ie in the version enter the inactive version & in the target version enter'A00'
9.In mc82 choose active version, you can see that the plan is activated now.
10.In the menu choose extras & transfer to demand mgmnt.
11.You can see the requirement in the md62 transaction.
12.Then run mrp.
Also regarding the unit of measure in t.code mc35,
If you select your resource as 'workcenter' & choose min or hour & then you enter 1(eg) in the first field against the work center. This means it takes 1 min or hour to produce 1pc(base quantity) in that particular workcenter(bottleneck workcenter)
Reg: Capacity calculation in mc87,follow the eg as above.Enter 1 min as time & base qty as 1 in mc35. Then check in mc87, you will get the load in %. ie if your work center is permitted to work for 8 hours/day & you pass a production plan of 480, then your load will match for 100%.

Getting an error while activating a planning area "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"

Dear S&OP community,
I am getting following error while creating a planning ares in a newly installed sandbox. "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level".
This what I did...
1) Created new attributes and master data objects and activated them successfully.
2) Time profile created and activated successfully
3) Trying to create planing area by assigning time profile in step 2 and assigned master data from step1..Unable to save the data and system returns
this error - "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"
My understanding is time profile needs to be active but doesn't have to have values...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna

Collective Planned orders Scheduling for lower level orders with reference to the Superior order

Hi All,
Collective planned order scheduling.
I have been trying to reschedule the superior planned order and i was expecting the lower level planned orders to reschedule based on the superior planned order.
My problem is
when i try to reschedule the superior planned order the system is not rescheduling the lower level planned orders.
For example if i change the basic finish date of superior planned order as 30/09/2014 and reschedule the planned order it is only scheduling the header planned order and the lower level planned order is not scheduling.
Could some one tell me why this is not happenning at planned order level.
As the rescheduling of collective order will work at production order level but for some reason it is not happening at planned order level(as there is no option available to do so).
Please give your thoughts on this asap.
Mahee.

Hello Mahee
Please observe that your system is working as designed. Planned orders are scheduled independently, even when they are part of a network/collective order. Note 152319 explains the planned order scheduling in detail and it provides the following information:
* No scheduling of overall networks is executed although a directly manufactured component is assigned.
Note that no scheduling of the overall network is executed for planned orders. For the components requirements dates are determined. In order to cover them, planned orders are created in the next MRP run. Since the requirements are not managed using the exact time, the results of the planned order scheduling and of a scheduling of the overall network of the converted collective order can differ.

CO-period lock for planning on company code level

Hello,
I would like to ask you for assistence.
We would like to have the possiblity to lock the CO-periods on company code levels. For actual values, it is possible to arrange this within the validation. However, for plan values the validation is not active.
I have read about possibility to enhance an user exit for paritcular planning transactions (KP06, KP26 etc.), but I can't find it anymore.
Does anybody from you have experience with this, eventually is there another option?
Thanks in advance
Peter

I have had a similiar problem and contact to remote consulting from SAP. They offered a modification (10-15 days if I remember correctly) to make CO period lock company code depending.
If I remember correctly, his name was Valentin (in Germany).
However: if newGL is active with real-time integration and also plan transfer, I think it should be possible to lock in FI.

Bjoern

How to check plan line items for plan cost at network activity level?

Dear all,
How to check plan line items for plan cost at network activity level? The plan cost is done in network activity in CJ20N.
I am not able to check using CJI4 or CJI9 report.
Kindly advise.
Thanks and regards,
Jessie

Hi Jess,
Have you checked the navigation part which is being displayed on left hand side of report S_ALR_87013565 and S_ALR_87013533.? There you have option to check transaction currency and object currency when you double click on it.
In case if it is not being displayed under navigation. Then you can bring them on from transaction code CJE2. For eg: Report group for S_ALR_87013533 is 12KST1C. Double click on it and it will open up to do changes in report layout and many more. There you also have options to bring on transaction currency too. Similarly, you can check for other report groups as well just by checking the report description.
But I am not sure if suits your requirements. Wait for other experts to comment on this.

Amit

T.c FF7B: planning levels for Logistics

Hi All,
With reference to the Report FF7B and the CM data from Logistics,
I've defined the planning levels for logistics and the others steps under the CASH MANAGEMENT menù of SPRO.
But the report FF7A doesn't prodide me the logistic data... are there other customizing steps out of the CASH MANAGEMENT menù of SPRO.
Thanks

Hi,
If you have done the config as mentioned by Kalyan, i.e. define planning groups, assign/link them to planning levels and assign the appropriate planning level in customer/vendor master data either you run FF7B (for liquidity forecast) or even you can run FF7A, but need to tick the check box for liquidity forecast.
thanks,
Kumar

Define Planning levels for Logistics (Liquidity forecast).

Hi Gurus,
I am defining planning levels for logistics for my client inorder to see the purchase order items in liquidity forecast report FF7A/FF7B but I can only assign one vendor planning group to M2 as my requirement requires all vendor planning groups to be assigned to M2 to see all the purchase orders items for all the vendor planning groups. Does anybody has any idea how do we assign?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Nirmal,
I think that is for displaying per cash management group but thanks nirmal for replying.

Select planning level for forecast caluculation manually

Dear all,
In S&OP on HANA we would like to run the forecast on a more aggregated level than the base planning level.
The base planning level in the input/output key figure of the forecast profile is supposed to be lower than the level which should be used for forecast calculation. If the filter in the forecast profile menu is set to the higher level, the forecast is still calculated on the base planning level and aggregated according to the settings in the key figures.
Is it possible to manually define the planning level the statistical forecast is supposed to be run on?
Thank you in advance!
Jamie

Hi Nikhita
There is a transaction " define planning levels for logistic". In this step you allocate transaction from MM and SD to the planning levels you ahve defined. this allocation is neccessary since the system cannot determine planning level by using master record fields as it does to access data from FI.
In FI planning level for G/L is specified in G/L master. However a business transaction in logistics is represented by an Internal ID
1 = PR
2 = PO
3 = Scheduling agreement
you must assign these transactions to a plannning level in CM
T-code :- Financial Supply Chain Management> Cash and Liquidity Management>Cash Management>Structuring>Define planning levels for Logistics
Please let me know if you ahve done this setting. Would advise you to revisit your config for INT code - level- Planning group.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you still cant get around.
Thanks

MPS run, planned orders were created for all levels ?

Hello PP members
I ran a small scenario
material    MRP Type     Low Level    SG           M/T Type
A      M0         000             40              FERT
B               PD              001              40             HALB
c               PD              002               10             ROH
Maintained PIRs(MD61) for material A, and ran MD41( Single Item Multi level Planning)
As material A is an MPS item, I was expecting that it should create planned orders only for material A, but in this MPS run it created planned orders for material B & C. (Looked into MD04, where I see planned orders were created
for all the levels)
As per the MPS run, it will plan only for one level of BOM (in this scenario for material A)
Any suggestions, why planned orders were created for material B & C
please clarify

Just check
System must have created a dependent requirement planned order and not the planned order for requirement you put in demand management for B and C
i.e. if you enter a demand in MD61 for B and C, run the transaction, system will not consider this requirement during MPS run. MPS run will consider the requirement if the requirement for the child is comming from parement where parent is MPS item.
Hence you need to run MRPm for B amd C if teh requirement(not dependdent requirement from A) is to be considered.
I hope you are clear

Selecting the Planning Level for Statistical Forecast in S&OP on HANA

Hello together,
we currently face an issue regarding the statistical forecast in S&OP on HANA:
The customer wants to implement an S&OP process containing the two steps statistical forecast (automatically calculated) and sales forecast (manually determined). The planning level of the statistical forecast should be higher than the planning level of the sales forecast, i.e. the statistical forecast is calculated on a higher planning level and then disaggregated to be an input for the manually determined sales forecast.
Since it doesn't seem to be possible to disaggregate any key figure below its base planning level we need to have the lower sales planning level as base planning level in all key figures, including the input and output key figures of the statistical forecast.
When running a statistical forecast with a defined forecasting profile, the planning level used for the forecast seems to be the base planning level of the input/output key figures defined in the forecasting profile.
However, we need to define a higher planning level for the statistical forecast in order to have a better data base for recognizing trends and sesonality. In APO DP it is possible to define the planning level for the forecast when running/scheduling the forecasting job. Is this also possible in S&OP on HANA? Can we define the planning level for the forecast in the forecasting profile or when running the forecast from the Excel AddIn? I tried to use the field "Filter" in the forecasting profile as it listed all the planning levels (as well as a lot of other things, we don't know where they come from), but the forecast was still carried out on the base planning level.
Do you have any other idea where to define the forecasting planning level that is different from the base planning level of the input/output key figures?
Thank you in advance,
Jonathan

Hi Bert,
thank you for your fast answer. I checked the forum again and found this post:
Question about Statistical Forecast
However, I don't really get how the disaggregation is meant to work; the suggestion seems to be to calculate a forecast on an aggregated level, i.e. with input and output key figure with an aggregated base planning level, and then disaggregate it "somehow".
Do you have any idea how this disaggregation might work and what other steps I have to consider?
It seems as if I'd have to define a whole bunch of new key figures and have more than one output key figure but no input key figure for the statistical forecast, which doesn't make sense in my eyes.
Actually I was looking for a solution where I can define my forecasting profile with both input and output key figure on the lower planning level and then insert the level I want the forecast to be done at either in the profile as well, or even more flexible when running or scheduling a forecast. Defining more key figures any time I need another forecasting level does not appear very comfortable. Is it meant to be like that or is there another way to reach the goal mentioned above?
Cheers,
Jonathan
Edit: The mentioned thread contains some valuable information on how to disaggregate key figures. However, the really tricky decision is how to define the disaggregation ratio.

2 variables for same characteristic in planning level in BPS

Hello,
I would appreciate your help implementing this scenario: a user has access to certain versions and should be a able to copy data between 2 of those versions.
We have 4 versions on our master data: 001, 002, 003 and 004.
A certain user should be able to access versions 001, 002 and 003, and should not be able to access version 004.
So we have an authorization object applied to that user with:
-> 0TCAACTVT EQ 03
-> 0TCAIPROV EQ <real time infocube>
-> 0TCAVALID CP *
-> 0VERSION EQ 001, 002 and 003
Then, users should be able to copy data between versions.
We created 2 variables on planning area, named ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW, with these characteristics:
-> Characteristic: 0VERSION
-> Replacement Type: USERVALUE User-defined values
-> Restriction of Values Required by User: enabled
-> Input Allowed by User: enabled
So this particular user should only see those 3 versions when pressing F4 when filing both variables.
After that, we created the planning level with the u201Ccopyu201D planning function.
But now, on planning level, we need to restrict 0VERSION, but we have a problem because we are not able to restrict it using 2 variables (ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW). Only one.
If we donu2019t use any variable, user gets an authorization error because he is not able to access to all data due to authorizations.
Does anyone have a way to avoid this issue? Should authorizations be defined in a different way? Should variables be defined in a different way?
Hopefully I exposed all required details to get help, and that my question wasnu2019t too much confused.
Again, thank you very much in advance for your support.
Rui

Hello,
If you restrict the VERSION with variable ZVERSNEW for target version then the function should work. But if you get any error related to reading reference data for the source version then you can create a new variable of type exit and populate it with the values selected by the user in two variables ZVERSOLD and ZVERSNEW using the two APIs :
API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_GETDETAIL - to get the current value of the two Variables
API_SEMBPS_VARIABLE_SET - to set the Variable Values for the Exit type variable

ABAP Function for renaming of a planning level?

Hi all,
i wanna know if does exist an ABAP Function for renaming of a planning level or parameter group.
Someone can help me please?
Thanx a lot,
Paolo.


Hi,
I don't think any such Function Module exists. Nonetheless I can give you a good hint.
All the details of all planning objects (Planning Areas, Planning Levels, Planning Functions. Parameter Groups etc) are stored in UP* Tables. Just go to T-code SE11 and search for tables with name UP*.
Once you know the tables, you can write your own customized ABAP code.
PS: I can recommend above method to just read the details of Planning Objects. I don't think you should be ambitious to change planning object names by attempting to change system table contents. Hope you are getting me.

Abhijit

Planning levels' execution & relationship with infocubes

Hi Gurus,
I am encountering some hiccups while trying to figure out how BPS planning levels execution works. Here are 2 examples of scenario that i am facing:-
1. Planning level 123 is used to copy data from a basic cube to a transactional cube. The execution are fine, but when attempt to save data into the transactional cube, i was prompted with an error message , that the basic cube is not a real time cube.
The basic cube's data that i am trying to copy, is never meant to be a transactional cube, on top of that, i am not saving data into this cube.
This scenario happens occasionally-not always.
2. In a second scenario, i tried to run a planning level which copies data from cube A(basic) to cube B(transactional). But the execution wasnt successful, because cube C is not a transactional cube. In my planning level, i did not configure anything relating to Cube C, i have only specify the parameter group to copy from cube A to B.
Please help to enlighten on how BPS planning levels works in terms of reading / copying data? Does it loop through all the cubes that are attached to the planning areas, whenever theres an execution? - Even though it is not configured in the planning level?
Any advise is very much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Jo-Chin

Hi,
As per my understanding you are using multiarea as your planning area where cube A is transactional cube and cube B is basic cube and u want to copy some data from cube B to cube A but on save it is giving you an error,I think you have not restricted 0infoprovider with cube A in planning package,then it will consider both the cubes for writting the data which cann't be done with cube B as it is a basic cube.Can Also check for the change mode for cube A.
With the second scenario ,if it is a mutiarea(multiprovider) built with two-three cubes,then it will read the data from all the cubes until you restrict them in planning package with specific values of 0infoprovider.
You can also refer to the link given below:-
Re: Calculate 0Amount from 0quantity * 0price
Hope it may help.
