Releasing demand plan from DP into custom categories in SNP.

Hi Gurus,
I need to release the demand plan from DP into SNP custom categories Z1 thru Z4. The key figures that I mapped to these custom categories are created in a non-standard planning area (copied from 9ASNP02).
I am able to release the demand plan using category FA only. Can anyone help me in releasing demand plan into these custom categories in SNP.
Thanks,
Shiv.

Shiv
I did a F1 help on target category field in tcode /n/sapapo/mc90 and this is what i found
For the release of the demand plan to Supply Network Planning, you can specify a category that tells the system which category of orders to release to. An entry in this field is optional, but if you do enter a category it must be a category that represents sales orders or forecasts, such as FA or FB.
You can also release to categories you have created yourself. This allows you to distinguish, for example, between different forecast priorities.
The system proceeds as follows:
1. Has a category been entered in the release profile? If yes, this category is used.
2. If no, has a category been set in the definition of the requirements strategy in Customizing? (You define the product's strategy in the Proposed strategy field on the Demand tab of the product master record.) If yes, this category is used.
3. If no, category FA (forecasts) is used.
So as the F1 help says in the release transaction /n/sapapo/mc90 did you try giving the custom categories ? Also i have one more idea - after the forecast gets released to category FA , copy it to a key figure that is assigned custom cateogries Z1 to Z4.
But just want to understand something . Why do you want to release it to a custom cateory instead of FA ? How are you going to handle the consumption of forecasts by sales orders if you release it to custom category. I think releasing it to a custom category will make your process more complicated since you are altering the standard SAP functionality.

Can i access the Oracle Demand Planning Cubes using the AWM?

Hi All,
Is it possible to access the Oracle Demand planning data which is stored as Express server using the Analytic workspace manager?
Any information regarding this is really appreciated.

Abdul Hafeez,
Is ODP using Express Server or Oracle OLAP Analytical workspaces?
If Express Server is being used by ODP, then you cannot create sql views for OBIEE.
If Oracle database is being used for ODP data, then it is storing the data in Analytical workspaces. In that case, you can manually create OLAP views using OLAP_TABLE function. To do that, you will first have to know all the required structures inside the Analytical workspaces. Without that knowledge, you will not know what olap structures to "expose" in the OLAP views.
You can read about OLAP_TABLE function from Oracle 10g documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/olap.102/b14350/olap_table.htm
If you are using 9i database for ODP, then read about OLAP_TABLE function from 9i documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/olap.920/a95295/olap_tab.htm

Using the Demand Planning functionality in TEM

Good afternoon
I have been trying to use (in our test client) the Demand Planning functionality of TEM, I am wanting to create demand based on last year's bookings however I get no results. I have courses, which are firmly booked with attendees on them in last year. Is there a minimum number of courses and/or attendees required before a demand can be created? What am I missing?
Many thanks
Dawn

Hi Dawn,
Try this:
Run the demand planning report using either S_AHR_61016220 or PSV2. Choose the event type which you want to create demand for, or if you have used PSV2 that is already defaulted. If the location is mandatory then put that in and run the report for the year 2010 (with all or the specified quarters checked). If you are running this for the first time, then you should get a screen which says No demand exists. Click on the name of the event type such that it is highlighted (where the cursor is on the name of the event type). Click on the Plan button (F5) and then click on the Plan button button again (F5). This should give you the various options of prebookings or bookings from the previous yea. Select the one you want, and it should determine the demand which you will transfer and save.
Regards,
Priya.

Transfer Demand Plan to R/3

Hi All,
I need to transfer the Demand Plan to R/3.
Please let me know the importance of Period Split profile in the transfer profile screen.
we are using the posting periodicity in the planning book.
What is the use of Distribution Function?
Is it possible to transfer the demand in days for first 3/4 weeks and then in weeks for rest of the period.
Your input/suggestions are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Prabhat
Edited by: Prabhat Sahay on Sep 29, 2010 3:37 PM

Prabhat ,
Period split profile is used when your demand plan is calculated in a particular periodicity (say month) and you want to see the result in ERP with a more detailed periodicity(say weeks or days). In case your demand plan periodicity is the same as the periodicity in which you want to see the results in R/3 then there is no need for a period split profile. As the name implies period split , splits the value to a finer level.
Distribution function is used to assign weightage to the different periods. We divide the value of a period equally so iam not very sure about the distribution function concept. But i think , if you have demand plan of 100 CS for a month and you are splitting it into weeks (defined in period split profile) , and decide to give more weightage to weeks 1 and 2 compared to 3 and 4 then the distribution function comes into play . Not sure about it though.
Also refer to consulting note 403050 . It talks about releasing forecast to sNP, but then the concept of period split profile / distribution function is the same irrespective of the target to which the demand plan is released.
Thanks

CCA planning price distribution issues

Hi Gurus,
When we do cost center planning using KP26 it suppose to distribute the prices equally for all the periods based on distribution key. In this scenario we are using the standard distribution key 2 and the values are not distributed equally and it's happening only for few cost centers and not for all of them. I have verified the master data for the cost centers which are having issue and don't see any issues with master data. I am really wondering what can be causing this issue.
I appreciate your help
BR.

Thanks Adi but user is saying he never inputted the planning date for 6 months and there is no way I can prove that. I did some testing and this is what I found. If we input the plan data for 6 months and if we try to view the same plan data for 12 months then system sets up different price (not the amount we entered) for previous months and it's going to default the price we entered from current month onwards.
Thanks
BR

Not able to Upload data in Demand Planning data view

Hi
I am trying to upload a csv file in to Demand planning interactive planning through " Upload Data " functionality
First I exported data from interactive planning , updated some data in file and again trying to upload same file.
I am getting following error
File cannot be uploaded
Message no. /SAPAPO/SDP_UPLOAD009
Diagnosis
File has no technical information or incorrect technical information.
Procedure
Save the file again locally. Make sure that the file has the technical information.
Could u please suggest what needs to be done
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Lavhe

Hello,
For using the upload data functionality from interactive planning grid, you need to first download the data. While downloading the data, please check the check box for "Prepare the file for upload at later time", and then select the option of putting the technical setting into the file or into the system. Either way is okay. Then try uploading the same file.
This should solve your problem.
Thank you.

I have one user who is receiving the following error message when trying to open Interactive Demand Planning Workbook. Only one user is experiencing this issue. Has anyone run into this before?
GP: Graphics product not available in this system; see long text
Message no. APPLG225
Diagnosis
The required graphics product is not available on the current platform. It is either not permitted, or it does not work properly.
The application does not have a fallback strategy.
Procedure
Application/Specialists
Contact your developers to see if a fallback strategy can be implemented.

Check the call method of the graphics proxy. If the graphics product is not mandatory (parameter FORCE_PROD), then the graphics proxy can select a different graphics product that is available on this platform.

Dear Adam,
The prerequisite for graphics in planning folders is the SAP Internet Graphics Server. The connection between the SAP Internet Graphics Server and the system in which you operate BPS must take place using an RFC destination of the type TCP/IP with the predefined name IGS_DEST_POFO.

Loading Demand plan data from APO to BW

Hi Gurus,
We have requirement as below.
we have to extract two key figures from APO to BW system
The 2key figures of APO will get data as below:
First key figure has to hold Yearly snap shot and 2nd Key figure has to hold QTY snapshot.
we have constrained production plan & sales plan keyfigures in apo demand planning and the requirement is to extract these 2 keyfigure quaintest into BI.
Data Example as below:
KF1: Yearly snapshot
KF2: Quarterly snapshots
Yearly data means from   Jan to Dec and
Quaterly data is as below
Qtr1 - Dec       JAN to Dec
Qtr2 (in FEB) - Mar to Dec
Qtr3 (in May) - Jun to Dec
Qtr4 (in Aug) - Sep to Dec
so please let me know to how to handle or extract these data into BW.
Thanks,
Shailaja

Hi Venkat,
Yes, both the key figures are ther in the same planning area.
But my question here is how to get that data into BW? meaning...
If APO/DP does the planning in the month of Sep 2010 for Jan to dec 2011 and the
values are like
Sep-10   jan      Feb mar   april may june july aug sep oct   nov dec
               15     14     13      11    10     11     12     16    14         15   22     20
Dec-10   12     14   16        18    29     20    18     15   14    12   17        20
Mar-11          10 12   13       14     15   16    17 18         20
Jul-11                                  20       40     30      40       50
meaning, If the planning is done in the month of Sep 2010 for the yr 2011 as explained above that values should be extracted into BW and the next planning will be done in the month of Dec 2010 again for entire yr of 2011 i.e. Jan 2011 to Dec2011.
But the values should be captured as they are.. that means if i use DSO the values from request1 to request2 will be over written n if i use the cube they will be added up..
Request1 will hold data of Sep2010: planning data
Request2 wil hold Dec 2010 data ....n req3 will hold data of Mar 11...
but users want to see the values or planning figures as they are.
Hope i made my requimrent more detailled.
Please let me know the solution to get the data as it is in BW.
Thanks,
Shailaja

What is best practice to do APO Demand planning

Hi,
My client wants to implement demand planning.
Client has come up with one scenario like a New Customer is created in ECC, and if I use BI and then APO flow ( ECC -> BI -> APO-BI) for Demand planning, user will have to wait for another day. (AS BI is always having one day delay).
For this scenarios user is insisting on ECC and APO-DP interface.
Will anybody suggest what should be the best practice for Demand planning.
ECC -> Standalone BI -> Planning area (Planning is done in APO) -> Stand alone BI
Or ECC -> APO-DP (Planning is done in APO) -> Standalone BI system
I hope I am able to explain my scenario.
Regards,
ST

Hi Sujoy,
Thanks for reply.
(1) I have to get Sales Order data from ECC into BI standalone system Cube.
(2) Then from this cube same data is sent to SCM APO - BI Cube.
(3) Planning will be done in SCM APO.
(4) Planned data is again sent to BI standalone system, Using datamart on Planned area.
(5) In BI we will have reporting on cube, which has ECC sales order data and APO Planned data.
But in this case, there is always delay between data loads (firstly ECC -> BI, then BI -> APO, then APO -> BI).
In this case, if a new customer is created, Client wants to see demand planning in latest data.
How do we do APO DP generally?
Do we follow the route from BI, or directly between ECC and APO..
Hope I am able to explain the scenario..
