Could not understand the Explode option in "Copy/Merge Forecast" program

Hi All,
These are the part of period dates of the organization calendar.
5/26/2011     6/27/2011
6/27/2011     7/25/2011
7/25/2011     8/22/2011
We are trying to copy a forecast from another forecast from the same organization. The forecast consists only end items. We are trying to explode the forecast values from end item forecast to new forecast. I could not understand how the explosion of the forecast happens.
Scenario 1:
When the start date of the Copy/Merge forecast was entered as 26th July 2011. I see all the items of exploded forecast starting from 27 June 2011.
Scenario 2:
When the start date of the Copy/Merge forecast was entered as 30th June 2011. I see all the items of exploded forecast starting from 26 May 2011.
I would like to understand on what basis the forecast explosion happens, does it considers any of the lead times such as manufacturing lead time, cumulative manufacturing lead time and offset the forecast backwards ?
We are expecting the forecast date to appear post start date given during the submission of program, since the explode option is set as Yes, we are seeing past due forecast for exploded items, request your help here in understanding the forecast explosion during copy/merge forecast program.
Thanks,
Vignesh

Hi Sandeep,
The calendar dates are:
1/24/2011     2/21/2011
2/21/2011     3/28/2011
3/28/2011     4/25/2011
4/25/2011     5/26/2011
5/26/2011     6/27/2011
6/27/2011     7/25/2011
7/25/2011     8/22/2011
8/22/2011     9/26/2011
9/26/2011     10/24/2011
10/24/2011     11/21/2011
11/21/2011     12/27/2011
12/27/2011     1/23/2012
Issue is when the start date is entered as 30th June 2011. When the forecast explosion happens, the exploded forecast date starts from 26th May 2011. Which becomes a past due forecast. We would like to understand why the exploded items goes to periods in the past. Some forecasts go back two periods. We are not able to find the pattern and it is not following the leadtime defined.
I am not sure of the business reason for the forecast explosion to be done here instead in ASCP/MRP plan.
Thanks,
Vignesh

    I'm using CS5, PhotoShop 12.04 x64. I received this error message this morning when I tried to use the blending options. My software is in another state, so reloading is not an option right now. Can anyone suggest another way to address this problem?

    I keep getting this error when trying to open some of my illustrator files. Usually after trying 5 or 6 time it will mysteriously open without a problem. I've reinstalled Illustrator and that didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 and that didn't work.
    Why does it sometimes open and sometimes not???
    I've lost I don't know how many hours screwing around with this and REALLY pissing me off!!!
    AURGH!

    I think this has something to do with the PNG plugin.

  • Could not complete the Refine Edge command because of a program error.

    This is kind of me being a smart ***… but, I’ve found an Error with the new refine edge. And I’ve solved the problem:
    If you check “remember settings” and refine a selection with output set to “New Layer with Layer Mask” and then try and refine another selection when you have an adjustment layer selected, the “New Layer with Layer Mask” is greyed out, but unless you change the output setting to something not greyed out, you get the error "Could not complete the Refine Edge command because of a program error.”.
    I’m sure there’s a better place I could have posted this and all that, but there you have it.
    Oh, and the solution is to just change the “Output to” to something not greyed out.

    Without system information and details on what exactly you are trying to do like what channel/ mask/ slection you are trying to refine in what specific image nobody can really say anything. Such errors are always specific. It would be best if you provided a screenshot of the selection in the image.

  • Could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error

    I am using the pen tool to draw a shape and then select it to create a custom shape. I use path: edit - define custom shape = "could not complete the define custom shape command because of program error"
    The error message appears once I click the define button.

    Also, I solved this another way, seems to happen to me often. I click on the path panel, near layers panel and clicked on 'load path as a selection' (3rd icon on bottom from left), then click 'make work path from selection' (4th icon on bottom from left). Then you will see that the whole work area is part of the selection, including your desired shape/path. In order to change this, just select 'path selection' tool and highlight each corner and delete each point from each corner, then you are left with the desired selection to create a shape. I am self taught and this seem unorthodox, but it works.

  • Could not find the hotspot option settings in the network menu or anywhere. Help me?

    I could not find the hotspot settings in my iphone anywhere. Even in the network settings of my iphone.

    If you carrier supports and you are on the correct tariff with them then it should appear in Settings > General > Network > Personal Hotspot. If it doesn't appear then you could check to see if there are any carrier updates available, and if not check with your carrier to see if they support personal hotspot.

  • Why am I getting this err -Could not complete the Split Extrusion command because of a program error

    To recreate this error, draw 2 simple shapes in Illustrator CS6, copy and paste them together as a Shape layer in Photoshop CS6.
    Then go to 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Path. I just accept the defaults.
    Then go to 3D > Split Extrusion.
    The error is thrown at this point. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work.
    I've tried rasterizing the shape, but then I get a different error. When I select 3D > New 3D Extrusion from Selected Layer, I get the error: "Could not complete the New 3D Extruions from Selected Layer command because the path is too complex." This is ridiculous. I can't get the 3D to work at all.
    Is Photoshop just this buggy or am I trying to do something that should not be possible? If so, the error message certainly should be more helpful than what I'm seeing.

    You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
    A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
    So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
    Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

  • "Could not use the clone stamp tool because of a program error". How to fix this fault?

    When I try to use the Clone Stamp Tool I am met with the message shown above. I have tried in all the ways I could find to beat this: different photos, switched the computer off and on again, run a de-bugging program through it (Advanced System Care 5 Pro) and Microsoft's own stuff. The problem exists solidly and, without one of its most important picture repair tools Photoshop is pretty much useless.
    I have just set this new Photoshop Elements 10 program up on my Windows 7 (64) laptop. I have plenty of memory and a large enough hard drive; the machine is fairly new, stable and does not usually suffer from programming problems. I have found nothing on any of the Adobe Forums, or in other sites, to give me a hint as to what has caused the problem other than a bad program disk. My first conclusion was that I should reinstall the program, but it appears that I will then lose one of my two registration rights, that strikes me as being ridiculous as reinstallation is surely the most logical thing to do with a potentially faulty program disk! But I would have to uninstall to reinstall, and that's when the the second registration cuts in I am advised. I have tried every way I can think of to beat this to no avail. I'll be truly grateful if someone can help me out on this. Thank you!

    Thanks guys! I'm afraid that I'm still not sure: I've been told that uninstalling - after of course deactivating - amounts to a life gone... Yet according to the set of licence rules Adobe has, you're allowed to copy programs in a mirror image which, of course, would be used for a clean wipe - and surely that contradicts their set of rules? The rules seem to imply that that would be okay: no life lost. My concern is that through no fault of my own I have what appears to be a duff program; it's out of warranty now (my fault - I didn't install it until I could buy a more heavy-duty laptop). If the rule is "two-strikes-and-your-out, then I lose my last reactivation after THIS installation. I will get in touch with Adobe - but I live in the UK, and therein lies the problem: the equivalent of $39 dollars for the chat and whatever else it might cost is off-putting to me I'm afraid. If I could find out whether or not Adobe has a patch or something I would be a lot more happy about it all - the reinstallation after all may NOT cure the problem and I'd be stuck with a bunch of coffee cup coasters! Hey, ho...

  • CS4 error message: Could not read the file because the plug-in could not understand the file

    I get the error message in the subject line of this thread when I try to open a AI file in CS4. The file in question is a master plan for a river parkway. It includes a TIF of an aerial image of the project site (created from a SID file) with Illustrator generated linework for the various trails and other master plan features.  Illustrator attempts to open the file, which appears for a brief time but without the aerial image TIF background visible (only the Illustrator linework and text is visible), then this message pops up, I click OK and the file closes and I'm put back at the opening screen.
    I am running Windows 7 Pro (32-bit). My colleague created this file on his computer (same OS and programs as my computer) and he can open it fine. He did have this same issue for a bit, but then ran Updates under the Help menu and this seems to have fixed his problem. Before then, he had been re-starting his computer and having only Illustrator open, and was successful in getting the file to open.
    I ran the updates yesterday and am up to date but the problem persists.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi Sam,
    This is an issue that has plagued Illustrator CS4 since it's release. The problem is a memory issue. Adobe has never addressed it satisfactorily and likely won't since CS5 has now been released for almost a year now - tho I've read somewhere that CS5 has the same issue. On their site, Adobe has made a few weak mentions about it and has posted a hit-or-miss workaround, but their explanation kinda sounds like B.S., really and it's fairly apparent they're not sure what's going on and likely it's a compound problem and the result of a few different issues. They talk about some bug with color books between Photoshop and Illustrator, but that's DEFINITELY NOT the whole problem.
    Here's a solution, tho it's certainly not perfect and will not always work:
    1. Start a clean instance of Illustrator - DO NOT LOAD ANY FILES EXCEPT YOUR TARGET FILE, and
    DO NOT HAVE RUNNING OR LOAD ANY OTHER FILES DURING THE WORK SESSION.
    2. Find a good free memory manager that will allow you to free up memory with the click of a button, such as CLEANMEM - Google it - it's free.
    3. Free up memory before you start Illustrator and, if the file opens, after you get the file loaded.
    4. While you'll be able to work with the file, save it; manipulate and create new vector objects within the file, likely you will not be able to add additional linked files.
    In the past, the times that I've had this issue have been when working with really large files and large linked graphics - like convention display graphics. The issue just gobbles up, or limits memory allocation. Good Luck!

    Nothing in the procedure is right. The “sp_” prefix has special meaning in T-SQL, so the name is wrong. THEN it gets even worse.
    No postal service in Earth uses 400 character address lineS. Can you give me an exampelf of a city_ with 400 characters? 
    Longitude and latitude are done with FLOAT because of the math used. ISO country codes are CHAR(3). Addresses do not have an id; we have “<something>_address” in RDBMS. Do you want some industry standard like the SAN? 
    The (ModIFiedBy, ModIFiedDate) pair is audit data, so it is illegal to have it in the table under audit. 
    Your code is BASIC or COBOL written in T-SQL with 1960's with  IF-THEN control flow and not in declarative SQL! Why did you fail to use COALESCE? 
    Look at how to write a MERGE statement and get rid of this procedure.  And look at an address scrubbing tool for the data. In the future, post DDL and follow minimal Netiquette.

  • Why do I not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task?

    We are trying to use workflows to review and edit pdf files in sharepoint 2010. We are having a couple of issues and am hoping someone has the answer.....
    1)  When myself and coworkers click on the pdf document in the library, we get the check out option as expected.  However when we click on the document
    link in a workflow task (on the sharepoint site), the pdf opens as a temporary file and we do not get the check out option.  Why does this happen????? 
    2)  The same thing happens when we click on the document link in the workflow task email;   HOWEVER,  one of our co-workers does get the
    check out option when clicking on the link in the email task.  Why would she get the checkout option using the email and not when clicking on the link in the task list on the sharepoint site ????  We have compared our internet settings and adobe
    settings to ours and found no differences.
    We are using Sharepoint 2010, Windows 7, IE8, Adobe Reader X or XI.  Some of us have Adobe Pro X and have the same issues.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you could not get the checkout option for a pdf type document when clicking on the document link in the SharePoint workflow task.
    I try to reproduce the issue, however, no matter when I click the pdf type document in the library or click on the pdf document link in the workflow task email, it download the pdf doucment and then I can open it.
    It will be better if you can descript how you
    get the check out option as expected when you click on the pdf document in the library.
    Then I upload a
    word type document to the library, no matter when I click the word type document in the library or click on the word document link in the workflow task email, I can open the word document directly and get the check out option as expected.
    I recommend to use the other type docuemts to check whether the check out option works.
    Thank you for your understanding.
