Demand management- Demand Plan entry per customer

Hi all,
I have the following question:
I want to enter demand plans for each customer for an endproduct. I want also that incoming sales orders from each customer should consume the relevant quantities allocated to them.
I would appreciate if you have any idea how I could realize such a scenario.
Best regards
Cihan Polat

Hi Cihan,
Your question is not clear hence we are unable to give you exact answer.
You can enter the demand of customer in MD61 if this is forecast demand not actual. Actual demand you can create from sales order creation VA01 or VA31.
To consume the forcast demand with actual demand of a customer you ahve maintain planning strategy 40 with consumption mode in MRP3 view in material master of finsihed parts.
If question then revert us.

  • Transfer to demand management - Flexible Planning

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering whether someone has carried out the next process in the following scenario. I am working with flexible planning in SOP (level-by-level planning and dual level planning type, since I am working with product groups).
    Now I would like to transfer to demand management some data stored in a ratio associated to one field (disaggregated value) in my planning table.
    I tried to do it using the online mode but I just could transfer aggregated level values. I also tried to do it with batch processing (by creating a trannfer profile, then an activity, then a job and finally scheduling and executing the job) but there was an error message that looks like "No dual planning requirements allowed".
    I would be very grateful if someone could give some useful information about how to solve my problem. I guess that someone in this forum has faced this challenge formerly.
    Thanks in advance and best regards.
    Ben.

    Hi,
    Yes, dual level was specified in the MC8A.
    Thanks.

  • Order entry per Customer Item

    Hi,
    does anybody know if it's possible to enter Sales Orders per Customer Item instead our own internal item number? In our Sales Order Organizer form I can not see nor enable the column "Customer Item".
    Thanks,
    David.

    David
    Fist open up a hidden field called item identifier type. Choose customer item as the value for that field. Then you can use the customer items in the item number field as you choose internal item.

  • Inspection plan as per customer sale order

    Hi QM Expert,
    I want to create Inspection plan automatically when inspection lot is created against production order which is made by reference of sales order which contain the specifications of product required by customer every time the customer change the value as per it,s requirement ,is it possible in SAP ,please Guide me step by step
    Regards
    Aaditya

    Dear Aditya
    Is it that all mics keep on changing or is it only some of them randomly. As this is a MTO automizing the inspection plan is not possible.
    I could see only 2 possible solution
    1) If only some of the mic changes make use of addition mics in result recording. manualy insert the mic with the specification at the time of result recording. you can also give the specification while inserting
    2) create an inspection plan based on the customer using differernt group counters or using a single group counter and dependent charactertistic. You can change the specification before the GR is made or even after the GR is made
    If you think you have some idea about automising please let us know

  • Sales Planning  vs Demand management

    Can any body explain how to process the sales planning vs Demand management !

    Hi,
    Demand Management  : The function of Demand Management is to determine requirement quantities and delivery dates for finished products assemblies. Customer requirements are created in sales order management. To create a demand program, Demand Management uses planned independent requirements and customer requirements.
    To create the demand program, you must define the planning strategy for a product. Planning strategies represent the methods of production for planning and manufacturing or procuring a product.
    Using these strategies, you can decide if production is triggered by sales orders (make-to-order production), or if it is not triggered by sales orders (make-to-stock production).You can have sales orders and stock orders in the demand program. If the production time is long in relation to the standard market delivery time, you can produce the product or certain assemblies before there are sales orders. In this case, sales quantities are planned, for example, with the aid of a sales forecast.
    Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) is a flexible forecasting and planning tool with which sales, production, and other supply chain targets can be set on the basis of historical, existing, and estimated future data. Rough-cut planning can also be carried out to determine the amounts of the capacities and other resources required to meet these targets.
    Use SOP to streamline and consolidate your company’s sales and production operations.
    SOP is particularly suitable for long- and medium-term planning
    SOP constitutes the planning functionality of the LIS information systems.
    You pass on SOP plans to Demand Management (PP-MP-DEM) in the form of independent requirements. In turn, this data is fed to Master Production Scheduling (PP-MP-MPS) and Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP).
    An interface with Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) allows you to use CO-PA data as the basis for sales planning in SOP.
    You can also pass on the results of SOP to Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA), and Activity-Based Costing (CO-OM-CCA).
    Application Link Enabling (CA-BFA-ALE) supports the distribution of data to different operating units in your enterprise
    I hope this information will help you.

  • EPM Multi language support for custom list in demand management

    Dear Team,
    We have installed EPM 2013 with English as base language and Arabic language pack as secondary language. We have implemented demand management and portfolio management as part of EPM implementation. Currently demand management have some workflow and
    custom list supporting these workflow. Just want to check, when user changes language setting from English to Arabic then all the forms ( build using custom lists) supporting English input forms should able to take Arabic text as input to these forms.
    Please let us know how we can achieve.

  • Too many addresses per customer = synch crash

    Hi,
    I have spent the last few hours getting to the bottom of this problem. There seems to be a limit to the number of addresses that the synch manager can successfully synch per customer. We have a number of customers with addresses that exceed 250 addresses.
    If any update was made to one of these BP's the synch manager was crashing with no error message. Running SQL Profiler showed that the synch got about 250 or so addresses in before crashing.
    A bit of experimentation (deleting addresses) has shown that the maximum for my setup seems to be about 250 addresses per customer.
    As I lowered the number I also received an error message relating to Out of memory (this is a 4GB RAM server).
    My course of action will be to make sure that we have a maximum of 250 addresses per BP (unless anyone else has a better course of action), but I just thought I would flag this in case anyone else was having this problem.
    Martin.

    This problem no longer affects me. We simply reduced the number of addresses, many were obsolete.
    The synch is running smoothly for me except for the problem listed in the other thread.
    Thanks.
    Martin.

  • SOP - Flexible Planning u2013 Demand Management.

    Hello Gurus
    Can any one guide me  SOP - Long term plannng  / Flexible Planning  - Transfer to demand managment Process
    Thanks

    Edited by: JJ_SAP_S on Jul 28, 2008 12:24 AM

    Hi,
    Transferring SOP  to Demand Management :
    Use:
    You can pass on data planned in Flexible Planning or Standard SOP to Demand Management.
    Demand Management determines the requirement dates and requirement quantities for important assemblies and specifies the strategies for planning and producing/procuring finished products. The result of Demand Management is the demand program. The demand program differentiates planned independent requirements and customer independent requirements. It gives the information needed in MPS and MRP for planning at SKU level. The placing of sales orders eventually consumes planned requirements and triggers updating to the Sales Information System. This actual data can then be used as input for future sales planning. For more information, see PP Demand Management.
    Prerequisites:
    The system distributes the data to the appropriate plants in Demand Management on the basis of the quotas you set in Customizing (in Define proportional distribution across plants). You can also make these settings in the Flexible Planning or Standard SOP menu by choosing Settings ® Plant distribution. Plant distribution works as follows:
    If a plant or plants can be found for the material in the planning hierarchy, data is transferred to Demand Management for these plants.
    If no plant can be found in the planning hierarchy, the system checks to see which plants have been maintained for the material in the material master record. It then checks to see whether distribution quotas have been maintained for the material. If quotas have been maintained, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas.
    If no distribution quotas are found for the material, the system checks to see whether you have set generic distribution quotas; that is, distribution quotas that apply to all materials. If so, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas. If generic quotas exist for some but not all plants maintained in the material master record, the system assumes that the distribution quotas of plants without generic quotas are 0.
    If no distribution quotas are found at allu2014neither material-specific nor generic onesu2014, the system splits the data equally among all the plants in the material master record.
    See also:
    Plant Distribution Quotas
    Features
    Independent requirements are created in Demand Management for all materials whose data has been transferred. These independent requirements are created in the base unit of measure of the material. The base unit of measure of the material is not necessarily the same as the base unit of measure of the information structure or the unit in which you planned the material. See also Switching Units in the Planning Table.
    You can transfer SOP data to Demand Management in the following ways:
    Transferring Online, Synchronously and Automatically:
    You set the following information structure parameters in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning (in Set parameters of info structures and key figures).
    Field name of the key figure whose values are to be transferred
    Planning version from which the data is to be transferred
    Demand version to which the data is to be transferred
    The system creates or overwrites independent requirements in Demand Management every time you save this planning version of the information structure in Flexible Planning.
    Transferring Online, Asynchronously and Manually
    You choose between the following options:
    Transfer of the planning data of all members of a single-level product group from standard SOP (a single-level product group is a product group whose members are materials)
    Transfer of the planning data created for one material from standard SOP
    Transfer of key figure values from an information structure
    You make the following general settings:
    The material or product group whose data you want to be transferred
    The plant of this material or product group
    The planning version of the information structure in which the data is stored
    The dates for which you want the data to be transferred
    Whether you want to check what the data looks like as independent requirements before you transfer it
    The requirements type
    If you do not make an entry, the system sets the requirements type via the MRP group which is maintained in the material master record.
    The version of the demand program to which you want the data to be transferred
    Whether this version of the demand program is active and therefore relevant to MRP
    Depending on the option you chose in step 1, you set one of the following strategies.
    Transferring Planning Data from a Single-Level Product Group:
    You transfer the sales plans of the materials direct.
    You transfer the sales plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
    You transfer the production plans of the materials direct.
    You transfer the production plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
    Transferring Planning Data of One Material from Standard SOP:
    You transfer the sales plan of the material direct
    You transfer the sales plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
    You transfer the production plan of the material direct
    You transfer the production plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
    Transferring Key Figure Data of One Material from Flexible Planning
    The information structure from which you want the key figure data to be transferred
    The key figure whose values you want to be transferred
    This key figure must be a quantity key figure.

  • Demand management planning strategy

    Hi there,
    I am trying to set up demand management for simple make to stock. I am using standard requirements type LSF which is linked to requirements class 100.(OMP1) The requirements class has a planning indicator (PLNKZ) set to "1" (net requirements planning) in OMPO. This is what I want as we want the warehouse stock to be taken into account when procurement proposals are generated. The planning strategy assigned to the material master has the "1" setting (net requirements planning). However when I run MRP after entering planned independent requirements for LSF (MD61), the purchasing requisitions proposed are just for the independent requirements and ignore warehouse stock. There is a line in the Stock / Requirements list that says "Gross Requirements Planning" Does anyone know where it is picking up "Gross Requirements Planning" instead of Net Requirements Planning (i.e. check what is in stock before creating procurement proposals)
    Any assistance is appreciated.
    thanks
    D

    Hi Suhas,
    I don't want mixed MRP as such but when I cannot get any procurement proposals (requisitions) when the setting is blank. It may be elsewhere that the procurement proposal is - I am still checking.
    However, when I choose "2" for mixed MRP, it does generate requsitions (but gives me the other problem where warehouse stock is not taken into account)
    The requirements class 100 has an entry "1" for planning indicator and "1" for requirements category. All other columns are blank at the moment. I am in the process of experimenting with these next.
    thanks for your help so far.

  • Release of APO Demand Planning to R/3 Demand Management

    Hi All,
    Is there a way to release the forecast in Demand Planning in APO to R/3 Demand Management without passing overwriting the historical buckets in R/3. I have created a special data view that does not contain any historical weeks. However, if we are in week 2 of the month, it overwrites week one of the month in Demand Management with a 0 value when we execute the forecast pass to r/3 job. I don't want to overwrite week one and we actually want to keep the old value there, How can we prevent this from being overwritten?
    I have created a data view that does not contain any historical buckets and I am using this in the
    Regards,
    Rumi,

    Hi,
    For releasing from DP to ECC , you have taken care of:
    ○       A future planning horizon only
    ○       A planning buckets profile with one periodicity only.
    I assume you are using "Week" bucket , please confirm.
    In SAP ECC Demand Management, planned independent requirements are created in the same buckets as those of the data view on which the mass processing job is based.
    With above things in mind, it  not clear why APO DP release shoud overwrite historical week data, unless you are releasing in monthly buckets rather than weekly buckets.

  • Splitting of requirement in Demand Management as per Factory Calendar

    Dear Gurus,
    Monthly requirements are loaded as 3 months rolling sales plan at the Sales Plant.
    Am carrying out automatic splitting while transfering this to demand management. The demand for the month is split into 4 equal parts (Weekly). However, the requirement date is always the first day of the week (Monday).
    Am working in a region where the first working day of the week is Saturday.
    Your inputs please.
    Thanks
    Tarang Machhar
    P.S. - Have tried to assign an appropriate Factory calendar. But it does not help.

    Hi Tarang,
    one option would be to use period based lot size in the material master of the said materials for the said regions.
    you need to maintain a planning calender(MD25) that shifts the requirement dates to the previous saturday.
    please let me know if u need more details.

  • Transfer plan to demand management

    Dear All
    i have maintained an active sales plan in mc93 for 30 materials.Now i can transfer plan of one material
    to demend management by mc 90. But i want to transfer whole version to demend management i mean plan of all materials instead of one by one. so is it possible to transfer whole version in which so many materials are planned to demend management

    Hi ahmad
    with ref to your query i want to add few points which will clarify your issue upto certain extent
    if youwant to transfer all 30 materials to demand management you may work with product group scenario  instead of material(one)
    you maycreate rough cut plan for product group save it against version make it active
    you may trnasfer to demand management by using t code  mc74 with respect ot active versionas well as defined version
    which creatingrough mc35 you have to select w r to sales or production plan
    once the sales plan or production plan trnasfer to demand management you can view the results in md62 for results
    i hope it will clarify your issue for a certain extent
    thanks

  • Can anyone share how to integrate Demantra Demand Management to EBS R12?

    Hi all,
    Can anyone suggest how to integrate Demantra Demand Management to EBS R12?
    I use Demantra 7.2 and EBS R12.
    I search in Manual and in some blogs but not much data support. If possible, I want step-by-step starting from set up such as setup the instance.
    More of my concern are;
    - Is Demantra can integrate with MRP, without APS or ASCP?
    - Is that necessary to integrate by using seed data? If I implement my series with all new series, how can I suppose to link them to EBS?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Tanya T.

    Hi Tanya,
    To begin with, you can refer to the Metalink doc 434991.1 for an in-depth explanation on the integration from a technical perspective. Apart from this, there is an ocean of knowledge in the Demantra Documentation libraby in the metalink.The Implementation Guide provides an overview of the integration processes that synchronize or move data between Oracle Demantra and E-Business Suite applications.
    Now coming to your concerns:
    - Can Demantra be integrated with MRP, without APS or ASCP?
    After going through the above mentioned documents on Demantra, if you still want an integrated instance of Demantra and MRP without using APS, then it will have to be a highly customized solution.This scenario will obviously have a great impact on various business aspects,which is out of scope of this discussion.
    - Is it necessary to integrate by using seeded data?How to link new series to EBS?
    The Demantra - EBS integration adds two new responsibilities for Demand Management viz. i)Demand Management System Administrator and ii)Demand Analyst.
    The System Administrator creates a new user in the E-Business Suite with the relevant responsibility for which the user is automatically created in Oracle Demantra.
    The user with "Demand management system Administrator" responsibility can create new series that get added in the Demand management component on creation. This series can then be used as per requirement.
    I hope my comments help.Feel free for further discussions.
    Regards,
    Shekhar
