Demantra - history period to be considered for forecast ???

In the current system I have 5 years of history sales data - but for my forecast I need to consider data only for the last 3 years.
Are "history length" and "start date" are the only parameters which decide the history length or is there any other parameter also considered in deciding the length of history to be considered for forecast generation.
Appreciate your response.
thx and rgds,
Pankaj

User exits/BAdIs for Forecast consumption by sales order

Hello Experts,
My question here is: When Sales Order either new or change comes from ECC to APO, what are key fields considered for Forecast Consumption? Is requirements strategy is considered from location product master or Sales Order brings own data from ECC into it's own structure? I have read from SAP help or documentation that Sales Order coming from ECC does not use requirement strategy from Product Master. Rather it get its own fields like planning strategy/group / requirement class from ECC. It uses location product master only to get consumption parameters like forward/back word consumption days. So I am thinking to use some user exits or BAdIs to enhance the incoming sales orders to consume separate forecast categories in APO.
My requirement is:
For the same one product we want sales orders (can have two different order types or identify by a custom field) to consume two different order categories (ie. FA & FC) by enhancing incoming sales orders. So we have regular 1)Forecast key figure which is 'FA' category and 2)Forecast Additional key figure which is FC category. When we release two separate forecasts from DP we release into these two key figures and categories. Now we want incomping sales orders to consume these two categories separately when our sales orders are having two different order types (i.e OR and ZR).
I want to kow what way we can acomplish this? Are there any user exits or BAdIs for this purpose?
I looked arount BAdI /SAPAPO/DM_BADI_CSP and I am not quite sure it's going to help. Are there any others?
I appreciate if anybody explain me the process?
Thanks in advance!

Standard Logic --- Whatever plant is visible in the Sales Order, the sales order will appear under that Product Location in SNP
There is no standard way of making the sales order visible in another location.
Depending on your requirement(Ex: Forecast Consumption, planning etc),using APO-BW we can simulate the requirements in the other plant which can be a nightly run and not immediate.
Now coming to your question, if the delivering plant is A, how does ECC Delivery document know when the sales order has plant B that the delivering plant is A.
Can you be more specific.

Requesting detailed config and setup for forecast 'period splitting'

I have searched the SAP community, and found little detailed information about configuration and setup for SAP forecast 'period splitting'.
I have selected the standard scenario in the 'Splitting Indicator' (1 - 2 - 4) in MM03/MRP3 for splitting month periods into weeks - AND - I have set the MRP Type found in MM03/MRP1 to 'VV' as specified (with "obligatory forecast indicator set on, which supports forecasts to be used as a basis for MRP).
Doing so has not resulted in my monthly inputted forecasts being split into weeks.
I am thinking that there is some missing configuration that is needed. Please advise if you can.
Thank you

Bert,
Now I am more curious than ever. You mention that your forecasts are not generated by SAP, but are generated by an external forecasting program, using requirements type VSF.
This sounds like your interface program is entering Planned Independent Requirements, not forecasts (for VV MRP type, the MRP element for forecast requirements is called "FORERQ" and not "IndReq"). The field to which you refer ("Splitting indicator" in the MRP3 tab) has no impact on Planned Independent Requirements. To my knowledge, it only works with the integrated forecast generation program that is commonly used in VV MRP type.

Which prod. ver will consider for costing?

Dear Guru's,
I have three prodution versions for material with three different alternative BOM and same recipe for all three versions. All three versions are with same lot size and date validity. when i do cost running which version will be considerd by system as default? is frist version? if it is frist version what seeting is required to pick req version to consider for costing?
sree

the system considers the first available active production version as its default costing version for a period cost.
alternatively if u want to select another version you would have to lock the other ones.
eg:
if you want the 2nd one selected than mark the 1st production version as Locked for any Usage from C223.
than the system would pick Version 2.
same is true for the 3rd one, the first two versions would have to be locked.

Mass Processing for Forecast SOP

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement, I have to run Mass Processing for Forecast SOP in background Job based on consumption values updated in Material Master.
I have followed all instruction give for doing this process (SAP SOP Mass Processing - SAPs'WORD - We SAP For Your Cause) but could not achieve.
Can any one help to run in background job for Mass Processing for Forecast SOP.
Thanks in Advance
V.Sundeep

Hello,
Refer KBA 1778072 - Error message MA 653 when running mass processing forecast (program RMCP6BIN)
Internal condition NOT IPRWA-VGVON IS INITIAL not fulfilled
Internal condition NOT IPRWA-VGBIS IS INITIAL not fulfilled
Forecast/historical period cannot be calculated MA 653
Check your planning type which is used for your batch job. The number of historical periods in planning type (transaction MC8B) must not be smaller than the number of historical periods in forecast profile (transaction MC96). If the number of forecast period is maintained in the forecast profile (transaction MC96) the number of future period in the planning type must not be smaller than the number of forecast period in the forecast profile.
A not appropriate entry in SOP User Settings (transaction MC79) in Number of periods in the planning horizon can have an effect on this also.

YearTotal not accumating for Forecast

We have two senarios Budget and Forecast,
for forecast, the values should be sum of Actuals for actual periods plus sum of Forecast values for Forecast periods.
it is working fine for all Accounts, Except where the time balance is Last- like Assets,
for the Asset accounts the TB is Balance(Last),
but for our purpose, we need to get sum of Forecast periods,
we created a member for Forecast-time-period, and then aggregating the forecast -time-period plus Actual values into YearTotal.
Forecast-Yeartotal = Actuals>Actual periods + Forecast>forecast-time-period
we have written a Calc.script to calculate the
forecast-time-period = Sum(Forecast periods),
but we are getting only the Period End balances into the 'forecast-time-period'
I think, this scenario might have seen by others, please suggest how to tackle this.
Thanks,
murali.

Dave,
The Forecast-time-period is a store member under time dimension,
for example, the main time dimension is YearTotal, which have jan till dec as stored members, and the another alternate hierarchy parent as
forecast period name is Aug-Dec, it is having aug, sep, oct, nov, dec as children under it, which are shared members.
Period
YearTotal
jan.... Dec (Store members)
Aug-Dec
Aug...Dec(Shared members)
Scenario
Actual
Estimate
Forecast (Dynamic calc) formula (Actualperiods->Actuals+ Forecast-time-periods->Estimate)
Accounts
Asset Accounts(TB-Last)
now the problem is , because the Asset accounts time balance is Last, when the user enters values for example on both Aug and Nov. only Nov. values are rolling up to Aug-Dec (which is correct for Actuals, now we want it to be accumulated when the scenario is Forecacst), for this purpose the above formula is written on Forecast member, but for some reason it is not accumulating the numbers.
please have a look and let me know if any further details are required.
Thanks,
Murali.

Provision that MRP is not be considered for specific line item of Sales Ord

Is their any provision that MRP is not be considered for specific line item of Sales Order in MRP run? (Ex: Planned order is also generated for free/ADC sample quantity entered in Sales order)

Dear
Go to Sales and distribution--> Sales --> Sales Documents -->Schedule Lines --> Assign schedule line categories.
Choose the item category (eg. TAN) which is coming in the sales order and enter CN - No. Mat. Planning in the the manual schedule line category (MSL Ca) for MRP type PD.
This will enable you to choose while creating sales order in the Tab procurement column SL Ca.
Choose CN - No mat.planning for the schedule items which you don;t want MRP.

I have creative cloud, I have both photoshop and lightroom current versions installed - I was using the trial period. I paid for the 9.99 a month and now I'm trying to figure out how to get a current program so it won't expire - which is still says it is

I have creative cloud, I have photoshop and lightroom current versions installed - I was using the trial period. I paid for the 9.99 a month and now I'm trying to figure out how to update this.

You need to uninstall the trial applications and reinstall from the CC app.

Open Items not considered for Payment Lot

Hello Experts.
I have created some open items using FPE1. They are displayed as due in FPL9. But the same open items are not selected in FP06 for clearing. They are also not considered for clearing in a payment lot (FP05).
Can some one tell me what could be the reason for this
Best Regards
Venkat

If you have a clearing restriction, to be able to remove it when you change the document in FPE2 for example you need to activate that clearing restriction in:
Financial Accounting > Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable > Basic Functions > Open Item Management > Define Modifiable Clearing Restrictions
If you don't do that you cannot manually change it.

Manual bypass to view all history entries of all user for one report

Test have been performed on standealone BIP 10.1.3.4.1 (Patch 11931697). May be it can be reproduced with previous versions and/or other J2EE container.
Problem is now described in Oracle Support with bug ID : 12412334
Bypass solution may be helpful for people who use work directly in BIP web interface or who integrate this web interface using HTTP URLs or HTTP/REST like custom app (and may be other cases...)
When logged with an admin username, you can view OR filter "ALL" history of one all users for one report by typing an url like :
http://BIP/xmlpserver/servlet/reporthistory?report_url=/REPORT_DIR_PATH/XDO_NAME/XDO_NAME.xdo&tfilter=all
Where :
BIP is BIP Server DNS
REPORT_DIR_PATH is report directory path in BIP web interface
XDO_NAME is report's name

I don't think there is a way. There should be, but I've never seen it.

How to track the history of supplier sites used for tax reporting (1099)

Hi,
Oracle financials doesn't allow two supplier sites setup as tax reportable sites (Unless one is inactive). Suppose if the supplier uses site1 for the year 2009 and site 2 for 2010 and now there is site3 setup as tax reportable. All three sites were setup in 2009 and all three sites are active. Supplier chosen different sites for each year as their tax reportable site.
How do we know which site oracle used to send 1099 for 2009 & 2010? How to track the history of supplier sites used for tax reporting (1099) in previous years?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram

Would the begin_date, end_date and status columns on HZ_PARTY_SITES_USES be any good? Our R12 installations is too new to have accumulated much data yet, but I would look in those columns first.

Select planning level for forecast caluculation manually

Dear all,
In S&OP on HANA we would like to run the forecast on a more aggregated level than the base planning level.
The base planning level in the input/output key figure of the forecast profile is supposed to be lower than the level which should be used for forecast calculation. If the filter in the forecast profile menu is set to the higher level, the forecast is still calculated on the base planning level and aggregated according to the settings in the key figures.
Is it possible to manually define the planning level the statistical forecast is supposed to be run on?
Thank you in advance!
Jamie

Hi Nikhita
There is a transaction " define planning levels for logistic". In this step you allocate transaction from MM and SD to the planning levels you ahve defined. this allocation is neccessary since the system cannot determine planning level by using master record fields as it does to access data from FI.
In FI planning level for G/L is specified in G/L master. However a business transaction in logistics is represented by an Internal ID
1 = PR
2 = PO
3 = Scheduling agreement
you must assign these transactions to a plannning level in CM
T-code :- Financial Supply Chain Management> Cash and Liquidity Management>Cash Management>Structuring>Define planning levels for Logistics
Please let me know if you ahve done this setting. Would advise you to revisit your config for INT code - level- Planning group.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you still cant get around.
Thanks
Sanjeev
