Copying basic dates to forecast dates

Hi Experts,
I am using WBSE and activities in my project. I want to copy basic dates to forecast dates. But, when i am doing this in Edit>Reconcile date->Transfer basic dates to forecast dates. Then my Planning type in network header also gets change from Basic date to forecast date. which i don't want. I just want that my basic dates get copied to forecast dates , so that i can use forecast dates as my planed dates through the project and never change it. So, that i can always compare , basic dates, forecast dates and actual dates.
Thanks.

May be you can try the following....
1) Edit>Reconcile date->Transfer basic dates to forecast dates.
2) manually change Planning type in network header from forecast date to Basic date.

Authorization for Basic dates and Forecast dates

Hello colleagues,
My customer requires is to have separate authorizations for using Basic dates and Forecast dates within WBS Element, Network and Milestone.
Iv'e noticed that the rellevant autorization object to have this separation is C_PROJ_TCD ; field: PSARG ; activity: 111 & 112. However I wonder if this is relevant to all related objects in the project or only to the Project definition object.
If the answer is only to PD I will be glad to have an idea how to controll it within the other objects .
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Nir

It is for all the objects... but you can not control it on basis of only that auth object.
For network,
use object :
C_AFKO_ACT
and activity 22 Display dates
for Project def and WBS, use
C_PROJ_KOK, C_PROJ_PRC, C_PROJ_VNR
C_PRPS_KOK, C_PRPR_PRC, C_PRPS_VNR

Automate 'transfer of basic dates to forecast dates'

Hi Experts
I wish to have automatic transfer of Basic dates to FRC at the time of changing the status of Project definition to REL.
So that, after release i will prohibit the transfer of basic to FRC. This is required to retain original scheduled dates in FRC.
So, is there any userexit to build code for trigger transaction 'transfer basic to FRC' at the time of status change of PD?
Or you may suggest any new idea in this regards
Thanks and warm regards

Hi,
I am not sure if there is a standard way to do this, if anyone knows it please share your knowledge,
There are several ways to obtain this , but all of them envolve development :
- You can use this BADI ( if you are at least in 4.6 C) --> WORKBREAKDOWN_UPDATE ( method AT_SAVE)
- You can create an event for object BUS2001 when it is released and the you have to program to copy from one date to another date
- If possible you can use standard substitution (OPSN transaction) but you have to develop your requirement.
I am not sure it is very clear...

Forecast dates instead for Basic dates in ECP

Hello all,
We want to use the forecast dates in the project instead for basic dates in easy cost planning, is that possible to do?
In standard, ECP take the basic dates but it will be very usefull to use forecast dates in different CO-version as a forcast planning.
Do not hesitate to contact me,
Best regards
Jose Marin

Hi Abhra,
You can check both basic and forcast dates WBS Elements in project planning Board at a time.
as you said, you have to select both Basic and Forecast dates options in Set of Dates Icon. Before that while scheduling the entire project system will consider either Basic or Forecast dates at WBS Level and Carried out scheduling.
If you did Scheduling with Basic Dates then you have to transfer Basic dates to Forecast dates in Planning Board through Edit --> Reconsile dates --> copy basic dates to forecast dates.
if both Basic and Forecast dates are planning at WBS level, system shows you the Time Bars in different colour which you can check the corresponding colour matches with the specific dates through Legend.
Hope you can understand the above solution..

Forecast dates of networks with CM07

Hello all, does anyone know, if it is possible to make cpapcity planning with forecast start and forecast end dates of a network with CM07? I was only able to make capacity planning with basic start and basic end dates :-( Please help!!!

Hello,
SAP PS works with two set of dates, basic dates and forecast dates on the level of networks activities as well. So I mean the forecast end date and forecast start date of network activities.

Forecast Data

Hi all,
In PA we have at least one version of the Forecast each year. Typically Forecast 2 contains 6 months of Actual plus 6 months of Budget (all be it revised from the orginal plan).
Has anyone come up with a smart way to use existing Actual data as Forecast Data for the first six months of the year. We are considering copying Actual data and restamping it with Value Type = Plan and Version = 2 however this is a massive amount of data.
Points to note: We have many different reports with many key figures, so creating a restricted key figure with time variables is a mammoth task. i.e. One business unit will want to see Margin analysis by quarter (that's using over 18 key figures to derive margin) - another will want to see Sales analysis by month.
We have considered using define cell but again the range of key figures needed and outputs of time columns are massive.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Regards
Gill

Hi,
i think copying is indeed the best option... maybe is't a massive job, but it's only scheduled once a month...
In integrated planning you have a standard function for it... but i don't think you're using IP...

Actuals and Forecast Data

Hi BI Gurus,
I have a sales multiprovider(zsd_mc01) which contains the Actual data and forecast data.
Actual data is coming from my sales cube(0sd_c03) and Forecast data is coming from the Forecast cube,Integrated Planning (Zsd_for).
Now I have a keyfigure Actual quantity in Actual cube and forecast quntity in forcast cube.
If I create a query actual/forecast quantity on multiprovider I need to populate the actual and forecast data in a single row in the report.
Example:
If the user enters april 2007,
The data should be populated in a single row like this:
Jan2007,Feb2007,March2007,April2007 Actual quantity ...from May2007 to December 2007 Forecast quantity.
How I can Proceed for Populating Actuals and Forecast Data in a Single Row.
I am getting in Two rows but I need it in one row.
Please Suggest any solution on this...I will appriciate and rewarded
Thanks,

Hi Irwin,
I was not around for a few days, hence, delay in writing this to you.
I am going to give to some kind of a pseudo code here. You might need to take help from an ABAPer to close the open ends here (Please excuse me here incase you yourself have an expertise in ABAP, I am just assuming otherwise).
Going back to my earlier response to your question, I am considering two variables:
 ZC_ACTV: For Actuals
 ZC_FORV: For forecasts
You would need to create them as Customer-Exit kind of variables. They should be able to hold dates.
I am assuming that you already have a User Entry variable for entering month on the selection screen. I'll call it ZP_MON (Please substitute the actual name).
Now, the code in the include ZXRSRU01, within the CASE-ENDCASE statement, would look something like this.
* Some data declaration in the beginning, if already not there.
 DATA: l_s_range TYPE rsr_s_rangesid.
 DATA: loc_var_range LIKE rrrangeexit.
* For ZC_ACTV
 WHEN 'ZC_ACTV'. " Variable name
 DATA : v_year(4) TYPE n ,
 v_mon(6) TYPE n , "This is assumed to be in format YYYYMM
 v_amon(6) TYPE n ,
 v_fday LIKE sy-datum ,
 v_lday LIKE sy-datum .
 IF i_step = 2.
 LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZP_MON'.
 CLEAR l_s_range.
 v_mon = loc_var_range-low.
 v_year = v_mon+0(4).
 CONCATENATE v_year '0101' INTO v_fday. "This will create 1st Jan for entered year
 ADD 1 to v_mon.
 CONCATENATE v_mon '01' INTO v_lday.
 v_lday = v_lday - 1. " This will create last day of the entered month
 l_s_range-low = v_fday .
 l_s_range-sign = 'I' .
 l_s_range-opt = 'EQ' .
 l_s_range-high = v_lday .
 APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
 EXIT.
 ENDLOOP.
 ENDIF.
* For ZC_FORV
 WHEN 'ZC_FORV'. " Variable name
 DATA : v_year(4) TYPE n ,
 v_mon(6) TYPE n , "This is assumed to be in format YYYYMM
 v_amon(6) TYPE n ,
 v_fday LIKE sy-datum ,
 v_lday LIKE sy-datum .
 IF i_step = 2.
 LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZP_MON'.
 CLEAR l_s_range.
 v_mon = loc_var_range-low.
 v_year = v_mon+0(4).
 CONCATENATE v_year '1231' INTO v_lday. "This will create 31 Dec for entered year
 ADD 1 to v_mon.
 CONCATENATE v_mon '01' INTO v_fday. " This will create last day of the entered month
 l_s_range-low = v_fday .
 l_s_range-sign = 'I' .
 l_s_range-opt = 'EQ' .
 l_s_range-high = v_lday .
 APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
 EXIT.
 ENDLOOP.
 ENDIF.
Once again, if the granularity of your cube is monthly, then this logic would change accordingly.
This should help. Feedback is awaited.

Forecast Date Usage

Dear All,
What is the use of Forecast dates and basic dates?
How can we compare Basic Dates, Forecast Dates and Actual dates.
Can we compare dated with delay in the project planning Board in deifferent colours and how?

Basic and Forecast Dates
Basic dates are the dates that have a binding character for time scheduling and for other related areas such as capacity planning.
Forecast dates are dates that you expect based on more detailed planning or on changes during the course of the project. Forecast dates have no influence on reservations, purchase requisitions, or current capacity requirements.
You can enter basic and forecast dates for WBS elements and activities. In networks, you can also forecast values for the work as well as for the dates.
You are free to decide which type of date you use for planning and scheduling. You can schedule a network using the forecast dates, for example, or you can copy the forecast dates into the basic dates in the WBS or activity and then use them as the basis for further planning.
Actual dates:
Actual dates provide you with information on the state of the project. You enter them manually in the WBS elements or the system calculates them using confirmation data.
Scheduled Dates
Scheduled dates are the start and finish dates of activities calculated by the system in scheduling. For WBS elements the scheduled dates are determined from the scheduled dates of the activities that are assigned to the WBS element.
Earliest and Latest Dates
Earliest and latest dates are calculated in network scheduling and tell you the earliest or latest data that an activity must start or finish on.
To compare the dates:
In Project planning board, click on "Set of Dates/View" button which can be found besides Options button.
Then Check the required dates.
Dates will be shown in different colours, you can compare them visually and get the amount delay.
If you are not sure about the colours, just click on Legend button to see which colour represents what.
Regards...

Scheduling with Forecast Dates

Dear Experts,
I want to know whether following is possible.
When creating a project initial schedule dates based on Activity Duration and Activity Relationships should reflect as Basic Dates. After project creation, when ever the Project Manager reschedule the project, those reschedule dates should be reflect as Forecasted dates.
By doing this the Project Manager will be able to identify Initial Plan as Basic Dates, Reschedule Plan as Forecasted Dates and Actual as Actual Dates.
Very Much Appreciate your Support,
Dileepa.

Dear All,
I did reschedule Forecasting Dates using CN24 (Overall Network Scheduling) transaction. But after doing this, overall Project and WBS Elements dates does not changes based on the reschedule Network Time lines.
Further I have define "Network determines dates" as the Scheduling method in WBS Schedule Profile.
Very much appreciate your guidance,
Dileepa.

WBS Forecast dates disappears during scheduling after final confirmation

Hi dear Experts.I faced a problem with WBS dates.
The system overwrites forecast and basic dates on WBS after final confirmation of attached activities. And start to schedule wbs dates from dates of activities with no confirmation. Is there any way to solve this prolem?
In other words i need my WBS to take into scheduling ALL the operations forecast date. Moreover how the system can overwrite the forecast dates wich were entered manually by user?
Green - actual dates
Yellow (orange) - forecast dates
Bue - Basic dates
Please help.

Hi Kirill,
Please check the control parameters for WBS Scheduling. Check if the scheduling method over here is WBS Determines Dates. If this is the case, irrespective of the scheduling that was carried out at the activity level, the system overwrites the basic and forecast dates present at the WBS level. May be in your case the scheduling method that had been used was "Network determines dates".
. Please change this and let me know if this helps.

Copy a certain row of data into the next row in a same internal table ??

HI, guys.
May i know how to copy a certain row of data into the next row in a same internal table ?? Bcz I plan to update a certain colum of data in the row just now into another value..
For example:-
*at first...
ebeln1   ebelp1   xblnr1
ebeln2   ebelp2   xblnr2
ebeln3   ebelp3   xblnr3
*after that, become...
ebeln1   ebelp1   xblnr1
ebeln2   ebelp2   xblnr2
ebeln2   ebelp2   xblnr4
ebeln2   ebelp2   xblnr5
ebeln3   ebelp3   xblnr3
Thanks in advance.

hi,
If you have this kind of requirement then you must be having 2 internal tables ,one existing data and 2nd from which you have to insert the records into 1st table.
so in this case,
loop at itab1.
v_index = sy-tabix.
loop at itab2 into wa where pri_key = itab1-pri_key.
v_index = v_index + 1.
insert wa into itab index v_index.
endloop.
endloop.
Using this code ,your data records similar to your 1st tables primary key records will get inserted into table.

How to get the forecast data from SCM into BW

Hello,
Is there a table or Function module in SCM F&R that can be used to transfer the forecast data from SCM F&R into BW? I dont see any Business content datasources that has the forecast data.
I would like to get the future forecast data. For ex, if there is a forecast for a material and Site for the next 52 weeks, I would like to retrieve
the same from SCM. I dont see any business content. The closest would be 0FRE_ANA_WEEKLY_1. But it has only the past data, not the future data.
Thanks,
SBS.

Hi,
You would follow the same process as you would for getting data from a R3 system to BW, i.e generate datsources on the APO side and then set the extraction to flow from APO to BW. On the BW side, you'll need a source system for the APO, replicate datsources, set up update and transfer rules in the infosource and then load data to the data targets.
Cheers,
Kedar

In Windows 7 using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) was able to copy an item (name, number, date) and paste in another document. In Windows 8.1 using same version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.07) not able to do this. Any solutions?

With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy. With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy. Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
Eureka!!! Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy. Hurray!!!
