Demand /LT Planning - simulated demand?

Up to now I have done the production side - MRP feedling into production and process orders.  Now my client would like to look at Forecasting/Planning so I'm new to this so hope the question isn't too basic.
their scenario is that they have one semi-finished material, MAT A, that feeds into a lot of finished product. They have a forecast for MAT A for the next twelve months. 
If I create PIRs in MD61 with MDfor MAT A, is this creating actual demand or simulated demand for MAT A and its components? 
What is the best way to run the simulated demand rather than the actual demand.   What is MD73 used for?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
PIR for MAT A will create real demand in MRP - NOT WHAT YOU WANT!
You could use LTP (long term planning) with an inactive PIR version, for simulation purpose.
MD73 is a report that shows all PIRs and customer requirements, consumption, and allocation. It helps to see a wholistic picture on the planning-sales requirements situation.

Mario

    Goodluck.

  • SAP PP-Single item interactive planning & simulation Mode in MRP

    Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
    Pls tell me the Use of Single item interactive planning & simulation Mode in MRP

    Dear,
    MD43 provide you with interactive planning.
    if you use long term planning and you want to import the
    result of long term planning to productive planning, you can import long term planning result from MD43.
    In the second screen of MD43 (almost same as MD04), go to menu and select edit
    =>Copy simulative LT planned order.
    MD03 does not have interactive mode. So once you kick the MRP from MD03,
    MRP is triggered and save the MRP result automatically.
    I hope this explanation help your understanding.

    R.Brahmankar

  • Service Plan Simulation in CRM 5.0 SR1

    Hello,
    When simulating a contract-based service plan, I am getting the error "CRM_LEASING_COPY103". This is strange as I am not working in LAM. The error text:
    "..You want to determine a pricing process for sales organization  and distribution channel . However, no pricing process has been defined for this combination in Customizing...".
    I searched for OSS notes but without luck. I can't make heads or tails of this, as the scenario I'm working in is purely a service scenario (service contract w/service plan generating planned service orders).
    Thanks in advance for the assistance.
    Allon Riczker

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response
    I am not talking about Service Order. I have requirement to create a Service Complaint. For that the transaction is CRMD_BUS2000120. Now I need to find the function modules/RFC available for this requirement.
    Hope it clarifies .
    Even I have found function module called -CRM_COMPLAINT_API_CREATE but not sure right one

  • Billing Plan simulation

    Hi,
    I need to use a function module or a bapi to simulate (but no create) billing plan in the contract items.
    So i would like to reproduce the standard function (see how it works in debug) but i don't know how to simulate billing plan. I try to use VA42 but i can't any simulation function or something else.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Ideally you would simulate a cycle from contract to invoice and make sure its working alright.
    To enter a billing plan for a contract (after entering VA41 and the customer, material details), go to the item level screen. There is a tab called billing plan here.
    You assign a billing plan reference for your document type (Path:IMG Settings > Sales and Distribution > Sales Documents Header, and Billing > Billing Plan > Maintain Date Proposals for billing plan types).
    If these settings are maintained, then the billing plan should automatically populate. Then you create the release order, remove billing block and invoice.
    Cheers.

  • Long Term Planning: Simulative Order not covering the Simul.Requirements

    Hello everybody,
    Maybe someone has an idea what can be the reason of the following problem:
    For some raw materials, the total of simulative requirements per day is not equal to the generated simulative order quantity.
    For example:
    For material RAW, I have:
    13/01:
    Simulative Planned Order, Qty = 100
    Simulative Requirement, Qty = 40
    Simulative Requirement, Qty = 40
    Simulative Requirement, Qty = 10
    Simulative Requirement, Qty = 10
    Simulative Requirement, Qty = 10
    Simulative Requirement, Qty = 10  ---> Total of Sim.Reqts = 120
    I don't understand why the LTP RUN gives me this result...
    Does somebody have an idea?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Regards,
    Rudy

    Thank you, but I finally got it...
    The problem was that the MRP type of some raw materials had been changed from X0 to ND.
    So we had old simulative planned orders that were not corresponding exactly to the simulative requirements...
    Regards,
    Rudy

  • Budget Bill plan Simulation.

    Hi All,
    I have to develop a program for Budget bill simulation (Tcode : EASIM & EA61EX). Here i need to simulate the BBP & find out the BBP amount.
    The FM which i am using for EA61EX are:
    ISU_O_BUDBILPLAN_EX_OPEN
    ISU_BBP_CHANGEAMOUNT_METERREAD
    ISU_BBP_EXTRAPOLATE.
    But i am not getting the new BBp amount.
    Has anybody worked on this before & could you provide the approach to go about it.
    Helpful answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks

  • Activity "Calculate Access Plans (Simulation) (Optional)" Part.2

    Hello,
    I have problems with this activity. The performance is very low. I decided to obtain the size prediction to know how much i need size for the data to be copied from Productive (sender) system to QA (reciever) system.
    But can't obtain it. It gives TIME OUT(Time limit exceeded) for the program "/1CADMC/SAPLDMC000000000002448". 
    I tried dynamically to change the value for the parameter "rdisp/max_wprun_time" (from 1200 seconds to 3600) but the error is still the same.
    It reads the table J_3RKKRS
    Even i tried to comment the %HINTS in the code in the above program: (I have Oracle DataBase)
    IF i_reading_type = '5'.
      OPEN CURSOR WITH HOLD MY_CURSOR FOR
      SELECT * FROM J_3RKKRS
        BYPASSING BUFFER
        WHERE (im_it_sel_criteria)
    %_hints ORACLE 'full(J_3RKKRS)'*
    DB6 '<TBSCAN>'*
    MSSQLNT 'TABLE &TABLE& INDEX(0)'*
    INFORMIX 'full(J_3RKKRS)'.*
    ELSE.
      OPEN CURSOR WITH HOLD MY_CURSOR FOR
        SELECT *
        FROM J_3RKKRS
        BYPASSING BUFFER
        WHERE (im_it_sel_criteria).
    ENDIF.
    The error is the same again.
    Will it be solved if i changed the %_HINTS to not to scan all the table but with its index. Like this:
                           %_hints ORACLE 'INDEX ("&TABLE&" "J_3RKKRS~2" "J_3RKKRS^2")'.
    Or is there another way, please help!!
    Thanks in advanced,

    I had read it before, but this belongs to the phase of Data Transfer, but my actually status is in the phase System Analysis.
    I can't continue to Data Transfer if the previous phase is not completed, right?

    Hi,
    You can do it with help Transaction cube. Create a basic cube and transaction cube.Go to the transaaction cube Rght click on the cube select the Switch on the traction cube you get 2 radio buttons where u can load and planning on the cube .
    When u select on planing u can't load the data but wen u select the Load Radio button u load the data and compare with basic cube.To be presice it is the concept of BPS(Business Planning Simulation) part of SEM.

    Hallo SDN,

    . How does P&L relate to B/S?
    . Why is it that Profit Planning uses no characteristic values? If so, how can a record be identified with no char values?

  • MacBook Pro closest to the screen USB port doesn't work

    Hey there!
    I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 6,2 (15" 2,66 GHz i7 4GB RAM) which is in perfect conditions. I use it everyday to study and play the X-Plane simulator, basically, so it has never fallen nor taken any damage. Last week, all of the sudden, the USB port located closest to the screen stopped working. I've spent several hours trying to figure out what the problem is (tried the SMC and NVRAM reset more than once) but all I got was this log from USB Prober:
    Feb 12 21:46:26.196  [2]
    BRCM2070 Hub[0xffffff800bcc0c00]::DeviceRequest _DeviceRequestWithTimeout runAction() failed (0xe00002ed)
    Feb 12 21:46:26.197  [3]
    IOUSBDeviceUserClientV2[0xffffff80151f7200]::DeviceRequestIn (sync < 4k) err:0xe00002ed (device is not responding)
    Feb 12 21:46:26.197  [3]
    IOUSBDeviceUserClientV2[0xffffff80151f7200]::DeviceRequestIn < 4K to 0xffffff800bcc0c00 - returning err e00002ed, size: 0
    I imagine that the problem is in the BRCM2070 Hub, as it's status in the "Port Status" section is "STATUS(change): CONNECT ENABLE SUSPEND POWER Full Speed" and "Port Power State: Suspended (Driver)", while my other USB port which is working okay is "STATUS(change): POWER Full Speed" and "Port Power State: No connection". If I connect anything to the problematic USB Port the status won't change, while, if connected to the okay one, it will show what's connected instead of saying "No Connection" (e.g. iPhone). The only thing that gives a sign of life when connected to the problematic one is my Samsung External 500GB HD, but it simply lights up, doesn't mount nor is recognised. After a minute it turns off while still connected. I don't know how to proceed as I don't have any Apple Stores near me.
    Is there anyway to work this problem out or I should just wait until the end of this year to go to the US and take my machine to a Genius? This problem is really annoying me, as I frequently use one of the ports to charge my iPhone and the other one to connect my mouse. I'm thinking about buying an USB hub to bypass the problem, but it would kill my MBP's portability.

    I solved my issue and I believe it was router related. I have a router through Verizon and their Fios service. My router was old so I caled for a replacement. when I received thereplacement I switched it the router to only accept 802.11n and this did the trick. Problem solved, stupid router.

    Hai,
    Ravi,
    You create one cube for plan data and create another cube for actual data.
    Create a multiprovider and give comparision report. this is betterway.
    Or you can also load actual and plan data in one cube but you need to maintain one character like version to seperate atual and plan data.(OR)
    Create a basic cube and transaction cube.Go to the transaaction cube Rght click on the cube select the Switch on the traction cube you get 2 radio buttons where u can load and planning on the cube .When u select on planing u can't load the data but wen u select the Load Radio button u load the data and compare with basic cube.To be presice it is the concept of BPS(Business Planning Simulation) part of SEM.
