Developing a Sales Forecasting Report

Hi BI Gurus,
I am an basically an ABAP consultant and recently moved into BI Team.
I have got an requirement of developing an Sales Forecating report in BI.
The Report will be based on Regions and Front end units we need to display estimated Sales value for that month and the Key Figures will be:
1. Month to Date Gross Sales (in SAP VBAK-NETWR).
2. Sales value of Orders which are Shipped & Not Invoiced
3. Sales value of Orders with Planned GI and Not Shipped.
4.Sales Value of Open Orders which have Promised Dates within this month.
Please help me to get these field values on my report. I checked a couple of Infoproviders: ZSD_002 & ZSD_019 but could not find them all.
Regards,
Daniel

Daniel-
That sounds like a custom requirement, and your ABAP development skillset will help you significantly. Most analyses of this sort involve 'snapshot' extraction programs in R/3 that are executed ever night and write to a Z table in R/3. Once the data is provided, THEN the BW magic takes place.
You'll need to learn how to use SBIW to develop a datasource from your Z Table.
You'll then need to replicate the datasource to your BW system, create an infosource, then create an appropriate data transformation process, create an info cube or DSO(depending on data volume and requirements), and then, and only then, can you think about creating a query (Not a 'report'... BW is not a 'Reporting Tool', it's an Analytic tool).
Now... there might be a similar infoprovider already in your BW system. Look around and ask around (sounds like you already have, but check again.) There also might be a bit of SAP Business Content that fits your needs, but probably not. Most companies have configured and customized their business processes rather extensively, and most SAP Business content doesn't fit the various exceptions and exits.
Of course, SAP has some excellent classes. BW310 comes to mind at this point.
Good luck !

Data Ownership in Sales Analysis Report

The company has sales employees around the world and the company is not interested that each of them
can see the others sales, so when an employee runs a sales analysis report they should only see
their own documents but it not happened despite the data ownership funtion was activated and all the
options related with the sales analysis excluded forms was filtered by header only.
According to SAP Support team their comments were:
"We have reproduced the issue in our testing database. After verification, we noted that this is the current system definition as described in the attached Data_Ownership2004_A.pdf file. In page 11, it mentions that Data Ownership Authorizations apply to sales and purchasing documents, the Open Items List, Sales Opportunities and Sales Opportunities Reports. This is why the header filtration does n ot work in Sales Analysis Report.
As the requirement is currently not available in the standard software version of SAP Business One, we would like to ask you post your requirement in our SAP Business One Product Development Collabora tion forum."
Due to the current situation and the disconfort that this can produce, I will appreciate a lot your help.
Thanks in adavance,
Manuel Barrero

Hi Vassilis,
Sorry, but in my opinion it's correct.
We also use Drop Ship and like you said in the Stock Posting List we don't have any document and it's perfect. In other way when we sell an item we want and it's true the quantity that B1 is showing.
We want to see the for a itemcode we sold 100qty qith the value of 1000.
There's no way to avoid this SAP B1 behaviour.
Kind regards,
Augusto

Credit Block released Sales order report

Hi Experts,
My client is given few sales orders (around 4)no and requesting us, to prepare the credit block released sales orders report (include released person user ID).
*.No change logs is existing for all sales order and deliveries.
For above requirement I am using CDHDR table data but I am not getting credit block released sales order report.
Below fields I am using in CDHDR Table.
Change doc.Object (objectclas) : VERKBELEG
Document No (CHANGENR): Sales order no XXXXXXX
Transaction no (TCODE) : VKM1,VKM2,VKM3
Date(UDATE) : 25.09.2011 to 09.11.2011
Experts, Can you please help me out for this.
Thanking you!!!!
Regards,
Vijaykumar Kola
*.I'm already aware of this is a new development.

Try this, simple report... Here we check the new value of credit status field VBUK-CMGST and if it is 'D' we know that someone used VKM* transaction to release the document. Also you need to format the sales order number with leading zeros so it occupies all 10 digits and pass it to CDHDR-OBJECTID field (and not CHANGENR field). In the below code I am using select option for sales order number, so I know it will be formatted with leading zeros and so select on CDHDR will be successful.

Sales order report with order attachments

Hi All
I am writing a program for a 2 part report that gives a list of sales orders with attachment flags and a list of invoices that do not have the output processed due to the presence of attachment flag.
Firstly i need help regarding few queries in the process of writing this program.
1. How can i distinguish between a sales order with attachement and one without an attachment.
2. What is the related field for attachment in sales header/sales item table(s) or any other sales related table which will contain information of the attachment in the sales order.
3. If I have an attachment in sales order, will it have an effect in the output being processed for the invoice for that order.
Thanks in Advance

Hello Erik,
is there a sales order report with the complete line-item pricing
breakdown. For example, In VA05 I'm only able to get the Net
Price and Net Value as an output. I would also like to view the
breakdown of the conditions (e.g. disounts, tax, etc.)
Is there another report in SAP that will show this? Or a backend
table I can pull this information from to create a query?
The best way to handle your requirement is to create a Custom report using the standard table for Sales Order i.e. VBAK and you can pick up the Document Condition Number. You can pass this number to table KONV and pull up all the values for the active contion type which was responsible for Sales Order price calculation. Please reach out to a ABAPer to develop this sort of a custom report.
Just FYI, if you want to check out all the value for a specific condition type, then you can use the standard report i.e. V/LD.
Please update your post after carrying out this exercise.

Production List and Sales Order list on the basis of Sales Forecast - MRP

Hi all,
One of our user wants to use MRP. what he wants is that he puts sales forecast in the system and in the basis of that sales forecast, 2 reports should be generated from system , one will tell that when production should be started to meet sales forecast for every finished good and 2nd report will tell that when sales orders should be created for raw materials to achieve sales forecast for every finished good.
Is that possible?? Please tell me in steps that how I should I proceed? what changes should be done in SPRO and in master data?
Please respond.
Best Regards,
AI.

Hi AL,
As such, this is a basic functioanlity of MRP.
Once you enter a forecast & take a MRP run system proposes, when to start the production based on the production leadtime & purc.reqns for the raw materials based on the procurement lead time.
And the same can be viewed from various reports..FOr example MD04.
For this to work the MRP configurations should be valid.
Could you please confine your question to a specific query..?
Thanks & regards

Sales Forecast

How to handle sales forecast in OM?
For comparative analysis, user wants to input sales forecast per item in terms of quantity and sales amount for them to be able to generate and view report regarding the following:
1) Comparative Report Forecast vs Actual Sales Ordered per item and amount.
2) Comparative Report Forecast vs Actual Ordered per quantity per item per customer.
3) Forecast vs Actual Sales
Thanks!

Possibilities:
1. If you have sales planing in R/3, and extract that data into BW, you can have a forecast report.
2. If you have APO and have demand planing, then you can have forecast report.
3. If you use BPS / IP for sales planing / forecasting, then you can have.

How is the Sales Amount in the Sales Analysis Report calculated.

Hi,
I'm trying to develop a report similar to the sales analysis report of SAP.
I want to know how does SAP calculate the the Sales Amount column. I was using LineTotal column of Invoices + A/R credit memos, but it's not correct. I know i'm getting all the records because my total quantity and Gross Profit is correct.

Hi Vj Chris,
Try This
SELECT T0.[DocNum] as 'INV NO', T0.[DocDate] as 'INV DT', T0.[CardCode], T0.[CardName], T0.[DocTotal], T0.[GrosProfit], T1.[DocNum] as 'AR CR MEMO', T1.[DocDate] as' AR CR DT' , T1.[CardCode], T1.[CardName], T1.[DocTotal], T1.[GrosProfit], (T0.[DocTotal]-T1.[DocTotal]) as 'Final Amount', (T0.[GrosProfit]-T1.[GrosProfit]) as' Final GR Profit' FROM OINV T0 , ORIN T1 WHERE T0.[DocDate] >=[%0] and T0.[DocDate] <=[%1]
But this query better run when you are using in Crystal Report.
Thanks,

Issue with Cash Management and liquidity forecast report

Hello folks,
I am working with cash management and liquidity forecast reports. While running the report for Cash management, as I drill down to planning levels and induvidual GL accounts for the bank accounts, the figures for GL acounts in report does not tally with actual GL balances. As I drill down to last level, it shows the GL balance display which is different from the values in the report. Can anyone tell me why it does not pick up certain values. I find that certain document type "DZ" values are not picked up by the report. Any suggestions?
Also, I would like to know is there any way to cross check the values in Liquidity forecast report for sales orders, purchase orders and requisitons through any other report in MM and SD. Would appreciate if someone can respond to mu query.
Thanks in advance,
-NK-

In se38, look for programs starting with RFFD*; there are a few for reconciliation of cash management with SD/MM/GL etc.

Sales forecasting-updating opportunities with booked values

Hi,
we have a need where a user creates an opportunity for a large deal (say worth 6M USD) which will be realized over say 6 months. each month from the day the oppty is created say 1 MUSD worth orders will be created.
how do we incorporate this scenario in the monthly sales forecast. challenge here is that one opportunity will result into multiple orders each month. how will the sales forecast know that against the large deal of 6 MUSD, some amount is already realized/booked and it should subtract that amount from forecast report. need is to avoid double forecasting in such scenarios.
is there a standard report which takes care of such scenarios?
i am sure this is not a unique situation in almost all B2b sales this should be a need.
any pointers will be appreciated
thank you.

I referenced the post below.
