SAP Demand Management installation - VAT option?

Hi,
I am installing SAP Demand Management 6.4 SP12 for a Swedish client. During the installation of Process Servers using SAPInst, the first screen itself gives me an option for VAT (Value Added Tax). I have to select Yes or No but I am not sure how to make this decision.
It is true that Sweden has the concept of VAT everywhere, but I am not sure if that is relevant in the context of this installation.
Do I need to select VAT Yes or No? We have sent the question to SAP but as usual the response takes a long time. No one at customer side also knows what to do. And I want to be correct the first time rather than scrapping the whole thing later because of wrong choices.
Please help me in understanding this option of VAT and what I can do here.
Thanks,
Shitij

Selected the Yes option because I figured out that this option can be changed anytime later also.

Shitij

Which table are Demand Management data (MD61) are stored?

Hello guys.
I need to know in which table demand management data from (MD61, 62 and 63) are stored?
Also I need to know if there is some tips/rules to prepare a load from a file to come from Excel spreadsheet?
Is there any BADI or BAPI to load these information directly into the table?
Just for information: My current client doesn't use SAP yet. It's being planned to make the implementation in the middle of the next year...besides they use SAP in other plants around the world...
The main idea is to use MRP from SAP to get the suggestion for purchase requisitions and also planned orders and proceed the production and purchase activities in the legacy....
Please give me some instructions.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Harlen
This information is stored on tables PBED and PBIM.
You can use BAPI BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CREATE to load data to demand management.

Tranfser from demand management to SOP

Hello All,
is it possible to send data from demand management (eg.MD61) to SOP - standard information structure S076 or flexible planning ?
The idea is to put values directly to MD61 and use them later in flexible planning
thanks a lot
KS

Dear,
It is not possible. In sap, the planning cycle will be SOP -> Demand management -> MRP
SOPu2019 is a forecasting tool enabling you to set up sales, production, and other supply chain targets based on existing, future, or historical data. SOP is most suitable for planning finished goods. SOP plans are passed on to Demand Management in the form of independent requirements (MD61), which in turn is fed in to MRP (Material Requirements Planning).
Hope it clear your doubt

Demand Management Through SOP

Hello Everyone,
I have a scenario where I receive an 8 week rolling forecast from marketing. This is transferred to production. 2 weeks before actual production the plan is firmed.
I was hoping to implement this using SOP transfer to demand management. I was also planning to use an MRP type with a planning time fence. But am not exactly sure of the best practice to transfer Rough cut plann data to demand management. Do I directly transfer the Rough cut plan to a "requirements plan" version?
If not what would be the best possible solution to run SOP?
Also Please suggest as to any specific configuration settings to be maintained for SOP.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Aji Kurian Mani

Hi
It depends on at which aggregation level you are receiving the Forecast.
if you are receiving at Plant -Material level. I would advice you to directly upload in to MD61.
SOP is required, if you need to do any forecasting in SAP.
or if you need to publish , analsyse the Historical and Forecasting Values at diffrent Org Levels(Plant, cutomer, Material,Sales org....etc)
using the planning tables you can maintain the Figures at one Level, which gets aggregated automatically.

Demand Management: single Supplying Plant to multiple Demand Plant

Dear All,
I have following scenario to mapp:
There is one supplying plant (Plant A) and 3 demand plants (Plant B,C,D). Out of 3 demand plant, two plants (Plant C and D) are assigned to different company code then supplying plant while one demand plant (Plant B) is assigned to same company code as of supplying plant (Plant A).
Material M1 produced at plant will be consumed at plant A to produce material M2 as well as will be supplied to plant B.
Material M2 produced at plant A will be supplied to all three demand plant B, C and D.
As plant A and plant are assigned to same company code and are in same campus, materials will be transferred using Transfer Posting (material movement 301).
Material from plant A will be supplied to transfer to Plant C and plant D using Stock Transfer (movement type 351) or using standard sales cycle.
Plant A will use total SAP but plant B,C and D don't want to use any planning functionalities of SAP (no MRP run) as they are using i2 product for planning.
As except plant A no other plant wants to use SAP for planning run, it was suggested to enter demand at Plant A directly for all plants using Demand Management functionalities using different planning versions. But now the issues are:
A) As demand from each plant (plant C and D) will be entered at Demand Level using different planning version for each demand plant, how to reduce PIR of corresponding demand version for delivery against sales order of corresponding plant.
B) As materials will be transferred from plant A to plant B using transfer posting and not stock transfer, how to reduce PIR. As PIR is not reduced but stock reduces then system will create new planned order for PIR which already supplied to plant B.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

Dear Mario,
Thanks for your reply.
Can you explain in bit detail what is option 2 and how can I do same in system....
I tried using Special Procurement Key 40 in demand plant and maintained PIR in demand plant with MD61 which results into Stock Transfer Order created in demand plant. Now the problem is when I issued material from supply plant to demand plant against stock transfer order, system also reduced the PIR for external sources I maintained in supplying plant. Hence there was two reduction in Supply Plant, one for Stock Transfer Order reservation and second for PIR maintained for external demands (other than demand plants).
How can I stop reduction of PIR maintained for external sources while delivering against stock transfer order?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.........

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.

SOP and Demand Management!

Hello SAP Gurus, I need a litle help,
I have created a SOP in transaction MC87 for a material/plant with quantity 100 for month 10. Then I make a copy to Demand Management and in MD04 I have the requirements. So far so good.
The problem is: when I change the quantity in MC88 for the material/plant to 0, the system doesn't copy to demand management the 0 quantity.
Is there any way to put this to work this way or do I have to go in MD61 and delete the requirements for the material/plant?
Thanks in advance,
Adelmo Silva

Hello again SAP friends,
Maybe I can explain myself beter:
SAP v4.6C
1. MC88 - I change de Rough-Cut Plan for my material/plant with production values equal to 0 (zero).
2. I transfer to demand management and everything works fine!
SAP ECC 6.0
I do the same as SAP V4.6C and I get the error: "No data maintained for material ARS_PA_01 plant 1000 in transfer period Message no. MA640"
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance,

Demand management split the requirements

Hi
I wonder if anybody knows how to make a daily split for the requirements in demand management.
I have made it but the split is made only for the 5 workdays (monday to friday) but i need to be done in weekdays (monday to sunday).
I've got the restriction of not changing the calendar of the plant because it will affect the others modules of SAP.
Wait for your answer
Please
The points will be waiting
Taka care

Hi,
Even if you split the reqirement in demand managmant system will not plan the planned order on holiday,
To split the PIR qty
1. goto schedule lines and select the line
2. goto edit mode choose split per online
3. popup will appear
4. enter the period indicator and start and end date of the requirements period
5. enter the qty to be split and enter the period indicator for split enter
6. PIR qty will be split daily
7. daily qty =Total reqmts qty / no of days
Can you try order splitting (FS) and in the takht time enter the number of in house production days (1). In the rounding value assign the quantity for the daily lot size.

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 Versions and Reference

Dear Gurus,
To create new versions in Demand Management, is to go via SPRO path--> Production --> Production Planning --> Demand Management --> Define Version Numbers
There is another setting which want to understand.
SPRO path--> Production --> Production Planning --> Demand Management --> Allocate version and for auto spilitting to reference
What is reference we are talking about? From where is this reference for eg 1 - Reqm Plan has come from?
Is version maintained here is standard or you can change it?
If we can change which version is to be taken for each reference?
Pl. reply.
Srini

Hi Srini
The first sap path is to create version no which you can use to create PIR in demand management like version 01, 02, AA, AB.
The 2nd path is about splitting of demand management PIR into lower period say year to week, week to day during copy of version and here you assign one version number which will be used during copy.Reference is from where you are getting demand.
