Corrected demand forecast( ???)

hi
Out of 3 demand types I could see Customer demand(coming from sales orders) ,forecast demand (coming from DP),then what is corrected demand forecast( ???)
how does it arrive?? Is it a aggregated value of first 2 demand types. plz lend a hand
thanks

Hi,
This depends on how you want to use the 'safety stock' as a constraint while planning with optimizer. You should consider few things while you decide on the level of the safety stock as a planning constraint. Like you should always maintain safety stock violation penalty cost is greater than the product storage cost. If you dont, then optimizer will not plan for your safety stock.
The same way you can decide on whether you want safety stock violation as a hard or soft constraint by assigning some safety stock violation rule/cost.
So, depending on the business and importance of maintaining a minimum stock level at your inventory you can prioritize your goal of maintaining a stock level at least at product's safety stock.
Like you can prioritize safety stock as demand forecast. So, in case of supply shortage you can use safety stock to meet demands from the customer.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Satyajit

How to demand forecast for an item in APS

hi
how to create demand forecast for an inventory item in Oracle Demand Planning.ie, how to integrate inventory with APS.
which document i have to follow

Kannan,
Start by ready the Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning and Demand Planning User Guides (Implementation manuals). But the real answer is that both of these modules are very complex and it would be difficult for you to accomplish this work by just reading the manuals. Hopefully you have someone experienced engaged and these manuals are intended as references to help you prepare and learn the subject..

DEMAND FORECAST AUTOMATIC CREATION

Dear Expert
The question is with regards to MRP(Auto Creation of Purchase Order)
1. we have 5000 items we need to create Purchase order Automatically, for that purposes we will be making demanfd forecast . In sap B1 we have Demand forecast(DF) but we have to create DF mannually . i would like to know is there any method for automatic creation of DF baased on the criteria we given

Hi...........
There is no automatic way of creating Forecast. If you have fixed Forecast Qty and its products at each month then you can directly duplicate the forecast and simply add.
Else you can use DTW also for import no. of forecasts at a time.....

Demand Forecast to rollup from Tier 3 warehouses to Tier 1 main plant

Hi ,
I would like to find out if there are any possibilities to roll up demand forecast from Tier 3 warehouses (nodes) upwards to
main Tier 1 warehouse / plant (root)
please suggest ideas/ inputs
1)Any BI Data Load methodology need to changed or if
2) Any APO config needs adjustment

HI,
I am now confused on what you actually want to do.
If you want to plan in SNP, then since you are maintaining inforecords in ECC, you need to create integration models in ECC and CIF the inforecords. Each inforecord should come into APO and create transportation lanes. You shouldn't have to manually create transportation lanes in APO. You would how ever need to maintain the means of transport in each of the lanes from plant to DC Tier I to DC (s) Tier3.
When you run Heurisitics, the demand is aggregated to Tier I DC and then to plant.
If you maintain the forecast for the Tier I DC and Tier II DC(s) in DP, you can just release the forecast at these DC levels.
If you want to run statistical forecast at the Tier II DC(s), then you need the demand history in DP for each of the DCs.
Is this what you are trying to do? or are you trying to rioll up demand in DP. If you want to roll up demand in DP, I am not sure what the need is. Can you explain?
For any further questions, please give more details; examples would help.

Performance Testing Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting application

Hi All
Has anyone performance tested Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting application ( RDF ) using LoadRunner? If yes can you please give me the protocol used and steps followed for scripting ?
Thanks

What is your application release?Our Application Release is 12.1.3
How do you get the error?The error occurs during playback in which I am getting a "You are trying to access a page that is no longer active" error. In addition, it states "- The referring page may have come from a previous session. Please select Home to proceed."
Can you post an example of "most of the correlation that is being referenced throughout the internet seemed to contain NCA functions"?
This was the link I was referring to http://martinspier.co.uk/how-to-script-oracle-11i-apps-on-loadrunner. I don't have the current knowledge in the differences between 11i at the intricate level but it seemed like when I accessed our 11i environment, the login portion is also http/https protocol. From what I noticed though that some of the oracle forms (i.e. payments module) have been converted to Webforms. So I was thinking from a login testing standpoint, the use of this tutorial would still be applicable. However, I just checked the Test Starter Kit Information Center (Note 239746.1) that Steven Chan provided and have downloaded their sample login script for 12.0.4. It seemed that they used the same multi NCA, WEB protocol but login information captured seemed to be capturing http requests only.
Thanks in advance Hussein and for anyone else who can chime in on this task. Any information would be greatly appreciated as I understand am new to not only Loadrunner but Oracle Financial Applications as well.

DP - Sales and Demand Forecast values in the Planning book were increased.

Dear DP Experts,
The Sales and Demand Forecast values in the Planning book were increased. Is there a way to tract who user could have made the changes? Can we view the last change like in the document flows?
Thanks,
Glason

hi Glason
if the values have been changed by the user community, I am not sure if there is a way to find out. However if there is technical flaw in data processing, you can check for the steps as posted in the above post.
We faced a similar issue in our project. We were not able to trace the user ids under which the values were changed. However since we retain the 15 days of back up, we were able to check that the values were changed on a certain date but not the user ids. but we were still able to restore the original values.
As an additional step, we also developed macros to store (in the form of alerts) the exisitng value and the updated value incase the there was a manual change in the Sales forecast and other editable key figures. This ensured that there was a check if there was a manul change. we also ensured that these macros were not executed during the background jobs.
SAP also provides a standard SAP APO Change Monitor add-on which can be used to track chnages to the key figures. Please refer to note 1308968 for further information on the add on.
let me know if this helps.

What is demand forecasting

what is demand forecasting since i am a beginner in advanced supply chain planning

Demand forecasting involves techniques including both informal methods, such as educated guesses, and quantitative methods, such as the use of historical sales data or current data from test markets. Demand forecasting may be used in making pricing decisions, in assessing future capacity requirements.

Implementing demand forecasting with trend, growth and seasonality

I am trying to implement demand forecasts of materials with high demand frequency (behaves like FMCG) and which displays trend, growth and seasonality distinct for each market segment. I am familiar with SPSS where I use either Winter's or Holt's models, or even ARIMA models to generate robust forecasts.
Looking at MM03 there are a few options but some parameters are always reset to system defaults and I don't have many options models. We are running ECC 6.0.
Am I doing the right thing? Is there an easier way to implementing this. I appreciate any assistance.
Rodrigo

Hi,
I'm afraid that the complexity of the ECC regarding material forecasting is limited, and may not include all or some of the models that you mention. SPSS is a statistical tool by design, and probably has much wider statistical functionality.
For a comprehensive and statistically functional SAP demand planning tool you need to turn to APO DP.

Where we will see unconstrained demand forecast

Hi gurus,
We are entering demand in Interactive demand planning(IDP), than we will run Univariate forecast after run forecast, where we will see unconstrained demand forecast.kindly give me suggestions
Babu

Hi Babu,
what you see in DP (TX /SAPAPO/SDP94) is in fact unconstrained demand. Generally speaking the process is as following:
- You capture demand as close as possible to customer. At this stage the demand is unconstrained because at that point you do not have any idea whether your supply chain is able to satisfy this (no check of inventory, production, storage, transportation capacitiy and many other factors involved in to bring goods from A to customer). You somply capture the demand
- After running forecast you pass it to SNP and there you check the demand against your resources and capacities. The outcome of SNP should be constrained demand. At this stage it is easier to make commitment regarding delivery time and quantity. Normally you send constrained demand back to DP and compare thme (constrained against unconstrained demand)

Changes in Demand Forecast after its final release.

Hi
We are releasing final forecast of next month in the mid of previous month (e.g. on 15th Jan we will release final forecast of Feb ) to SNP. Then in Feb'09 can we make chhanges in Forecast because in Feb'09 the feild is grey out and also it is not fesible to change the forecast of current month. Or this should taken care in SNP.
Pls suggest.
Regards
Vikas

Hi Vikas,
Dave is right. If you have defined your periods in months (assuming start date as 1st of every month) and if you wish to change the forecast during the current period, then the purpose / meaning of forecast itself is defeated.
You may have another key figure say , "Manual Correction to FCST" and the changes entered in this window (which can be kept open - editable until month end of current period) can be absorbed by Safety stock. This safety stock can be brought from SNP and can be made to reflect in DP Plng book. Any adjustment made will create a demand. You may have to alter / write Macros accordingly.
Key Figures-- Oct-Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb-Mar-Apr-May-Jun-Jul-Aug-Sep-Oct-Nov-Dec
Sales----
Forecast -
800-550-950-750--
MCtoFCST--100-
Safety Stk--400-
Other Key Figs..............................xxx---
Other Key Figs..............................xxx---
Net Rlse to SNP.............................xxx...
In fact , in this process you can set a limit to which the change is permissible (say to the extent of safety stock or a % of safety stock) and raise alerts using Macros.

DEMAND FORECAST

Dear All,
Please guide regarding demand forecsting in Consumption Based Planning in MM.
Regards,
Vikas

Vikas,
Technically, you don't forecast demand in consumption based forecasting, you forecast your future usage, based on past usage. However, the end result is the same.
Check out SAP online help. Within the section about CBP, the forecasting stuff starts here:

Demand & Forecasting

Xperts,
I need to fill an internal table with the demand and forecasting data for a material.
can anybody gv some tips.
Using fn mod MD_STOCK_REQUIREMENTS_LIST_API 3 internal tables are populated with lot of unnecessary loops and data. i have to avoid this.

Felipe,
I´ve been going crazy after these things
I rather have control of it then SAP
These two statements are related. You sound just like me, back in 1990, when I first started using statistical forecasts to predict sales.
In forecasting, you are predicting the future. Forecasts by their very nature are always either 'wrong' or 'lucky'.
SAP (and the other major ERP systems) performs forecasts using industry standard forecast models. SAP provides forecast analyses, also common to forecasting, which indicate and select the forecast method that statistically is expected to be 'the least wrong'. The mathematical details are generally irrelevant unless you are a statistician, and not a businessperson.
In business, it is generally considered to be a waste of time ($) to manually analyze forecast models, when you are forecasting large datasets. Usually, the only time one intervenes in the statistical forecast process is when there is an expected business event (e.g., marketplace change) that cannot be inferred mathematically. Beyond this, you are just playing with numbers.
I can't tell you the number of forecast meetings I have attended, where someone claims to have a more accurate forecast than the ones automatically selected. In my experience, 90% of the time the original, automatically selected forecast, ends up having the least variance to the actual.
Of course, maybe you are that one-in-a-million genius able to improve that last 10%....

How do you run the optimizer with fixed orders?

Hi experts,
If the planner wishes to prioritize orders based on the customer demand, orders should be set as fixed.
How do I run the optimizer when using fixed orders??
Regards,
Analía Nahmías

Hi Analia,
Will you please elaborate more ?
It looks you are running SNP optimizer and want to use also make use of order prioirty functionlity.
You may be knowing already the contents below :
We know that Demand Prioritization functionlity is handled differently in SNP CTM and in SNP Optimizer.
In SNP CTM, Demand can be sorted by different sort criteria.
Whereas in SNP-Optimizer, Demand can be aggregated for three demand classes or by customer locations.
We set prioirties on the SNP Optimizer profile Maintenance for demand classes ,
1. Sales orders
2. The Corrected demand forecast
3.The demand forecast
Apart from this, we can set flag for priority of location products
The optimizer considers the priority of location products in combination with the priority of priority classes of the demand. To simplify this combination, we must group the priorities of the location products into three classes.
Within every priority class as above, the APO system uses all available cost information to determine the final solution
With the above way, planner does not have to fix an order.

Datta
