Does Fixing Key figure be part of Planning area?

Hi,
I saw the post by David and this question popped from there. The answer may be simple but I just want to confirm it.
If I am fixing a key figure A and storing the fixing information in another key figure B. I specify the Key Figure B in Key figure A definition (RSD1) as the fixing key figure.
I also know that both key figures A and B are APO key figures.
Now the question is: Do we need to include both A and B in the planning area and planning book even though I need only key figure A?
Thanks.

We can wait for more people to respond, however here is my view.
Fixed TS Key Figures actually maintains the fixed component of the primary key figure. It can have its own disagg logic and in most business cases, it will be same as the primary key figure. It needs to be intialized for the same time zone as that of the primary keyfigure which is only possible if both the keyfigures co-exist in a planning area. Figuratively take the Fixed Key Figure as a twin of the primary Key Figure which holds only a certain portion of the primary determined as fixed. The fixing logic will not work correctly if its configuration is not similar to the one of primary.

How to use a non cumulative key figure in a multi planning area

Hi
I'm new to bps, my problem is
I need to read the last stock quantity and value at plant and material level to do further calculations in a fox formula, so i made a planning area for the cube 0rt_c36 and another for my tc cube where the results should go, then i combine these areas in a multiplanning area.
problems arise when selecting the key figure in the ratios tab of the multi area, the ratios 0CPTOTSTOBU (last stock) and 0CPTOTSTOPV (last stock purchase value) are not available, only the inflow and outflow ratios are 0CPTOTREBU and 0CPTOTREPV.
I know when reporting, the actual value for stock is calculated by bex, namely, there is no data store at database level, so the question is:
How to obtain last stock for using in bps??
thank you for any help
regards
A. Garduñ

Hi Azael,
In the How to Papers, you will find a Guide on how to take a Sanpshot view of the Stocks(How To Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW). Basically if you implement the Guide, you will have another cube called ICSNAP1, which will contain stock quantities /values at the end of each month. You will therefore have to take stock at the end of the last month from that cube and add up the relevant receipts and issues to arrive at the current Stock or Stock as on a particular date.
Hope this helps!

Copy Key figure data between two planning area with different storage bucket profile

Hi,
I have a DP planning area ' PA1' with monthly storage bucket profile data view 'PA1M' ( monthly TBF) and I want to copy the data to another planning area 'PA2' whose storage bucket is weekly. This would need me to write a custom program which will split monthly to weekly and then populate 'PA2'.
However, In 'PA2', I created two data views 'PA2W' (with weekly time bucket profile) and 'PA2M' (with Monthly Time bucket profile). If I am able to copy the data from PA1 (PA1M) to PA2(PA2M), it will automatically splits monthly to weekly in PA2W.
So my question is if there exists a way I can copy key figure data from PA1M to PA2M? Any BAPI?

Hi Rakesh,
You can use COPY/Version Management Function to do this.
Path: Demand Planning > Environment >Copy/ Version Management
The system takes into account only those periodicities that are common to both planning areas.
For example, if the data is saved in months in the source planning area (PA1) but in months and weeks in the target planning area (PA2)
the system copies to months in the target planning area and then Disaggregates the data to the storage buckets in accordance with the Time-based Disaggregation.
hope this wil help to understand the basic concept.

Key figure flag in the planning layout

Hi,
Can anyone explain the importance of the key figure flag in the planning layout?
Regds
Pavan.

Hi Arun and Zegion,
Thank you for your responses.
Arun, I do not have any aggregates on the cube. I changed the aggregate properties of the Key Figure from SUM to Minimum. this has solved my problem temporarily.
the reason I am saying temporarily because this is a SAP delivered InfoObject. This is for the datasource 0CO_PC_PCP_01. When I read through the documents, it said, SUMMation for Aggregation and Last value for "Exception Aggregation" will display the value of KF as the last value and does not add them up.
Since this wasn't the happening in my query, I changed the Aggregation from SUM to Minimum.

Key Figure Display in Interactive Planning

Hello,
I am unable to display some of the key figures in SNP Interactive Planning. All these Key Figures are present in Planning book and are also included in the data view.
Is there any setting wherein I can control the display of Key figure although that key figure is present in Planning book and data view. For Example I have my "safety stock" key figure in my planning book and data view, but I am unable to see the "safety stock" key figure in SNP interactive planning.
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sarath.

Hi Visu,
Your answer is really helpful, thanks for that. But while I am trying to hide some key figures it is not allowing me to do so. It is either hiding all the key figures or unhiding all. Please let me know if why the system is behaving like this.
Thanks

How does restricted Key Figure Works

Hi Gurus,
I am psoting a very common question but its very important for me right now.
My understanding about RKF is that it restricte the Key figure values with Characteristic.
I have a cube where I have materil, qty and stock type. I need only those material which has stock Type 'D & E' SO I picked Qty and restricted that with stock type.
In the report it shows me only those materials which has stock type D & E.
Now someone is telling me that it should show those material also which has other stock types but with '0' values.
Is that true?
Regards

try with
material -
place it in row
stock type D, E , or something else ---place it in row
qty with stock type D and E...place it in colum restricted by stock type D and E
Make the setting do not supress 0 in query properties.

Key figure, number of decimal places are not showing in report output

Dear experts,
At cube level PO qty value is getting 0.010 where as in bex report output of PO qty showing as 0. I have chosen decimal places as 0.000 in key figure additional properties tab. In query designer also I have chosen no of decimal places as 0.000 in display propertiesu2026please help me out. How can I get 0.010 value in report o/p.
Thanks in advance.
Srivalli.

Hi,
Try to run the query in RSRT. CHeck if you are getting the same output. Also make sure that in the reports all the filters are same as you have applied in the info -cube to see the data.

Promotion Planning Key Figures

Hi,
How many key figures are recommend to support the promotion planning process?
Should I have one key figure for past promotions and another one for future promotions?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
The key figure Promotions is the sum of costs for promotions that cannot be assigned directly to a product.Technical Name: 0PROMOTIONS.
In a scenario like, if you are comparing two promotions on the promotion planning screen, when you view a single promotion, you can see the various key figures such as promotion history, promotion forecast, promotion stockouts, and released promotion demand for the relevant products. When you compare two promotions, all these key figures are displayed for both promotions.
Some of the typical key figures used in promotion planning are
1) The Key figure with technical name 0CMNUMPRRT determines the number of promotions in which products belonging to a segment are sold.
2) Key Figure: 0RPA_PRMQTY key figure contains the quantity to be assigned from sales for a promotion.
3) Key Figure: 0RT_PRDCAMT key figure describes an absolute amount by which a sales price is reduced as part of a retail promotion

Adding new key figures to DP planning area

I am using APO DP.
When adding new key figures to a planning area, is there any way of avoiding having to deinitialise and then re initialise the planning area?
Thanks for any advice on this...

First of, let us know which version of DP are you using.
If you are using 7.0, all you need to do is right click on your planning area and select Change Keyfigure setting and you should be able to update the key figures there.
The below is from SAP help for SAP APO 7.0, you should be able to add the key figure without deinitializing the planning area.
Key Figure Settings
Here you can change the properties of the key figures of a planning area, if the planning area has already been initialized. You can also add or delete key figures. However, you can only delete key figures that are no longer used in planning books, data views, macros, or demand forecasts. You can find out in which objects a specific key figure is used with the where-used list.

Taking long time to load from the planning area to the cube since cvc big?

Hi all,
We have a huge number of cvc for various countries, while we are planning to load the data from the planning area to the cube using those cvc it consuming 40 hours.
I happneed to check the cvc are more than 15,000 that is one reason. But i still need to improve the time taken to load the data from the planning area to the cube using the process chain.
I happened to split the process chain to load data respectively to the sales organisation but still the same!!
Can anyone help me nor recommend the sap process to improve the data loading from planning to cube in apo demand planning?
Thanks
Pooja

Hi Pooja,
15K is not huge at all. We have worked with 50k and still managed do the extract into cube in about an hours time.
Pls help me understand a few things, so that we can help you better.
1) Number of KF?
2) Number of Periods?
3) Key Figure Storage types - Is there any KF stored in Infocube rather than Time Series, this can be found in the Key Figure details in the Planning Area.
4) Pls explain your data flow like PA--> Datasource --> Communication Structure --> UPdate rules --> Cube???
5) Are you using Parallel extraction in your Datasource? This can be checked in Data Extraction tools from your Planning Area Screen.
Few general tips.
1) Parallelize your datasource.
2) Load into PSA and Infocube parallely.
3) Do not include KF stored in Infocube for your backup, use only KF stored in LC.
Thanks
Mani

Planning area 9asnp94

when i am going to assign planning version to planning area 9ASNP02 there is no time series indicator is appear to maintain the time
regards
sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
   Time series is related to Demand Planning Area & Initilize Planning version is related to your SNP plannning Area.
   If you have any time series key figure under your snp planning area,then system show "create time series".If in SNP Planning area there are all order series key figure then system shows " Initialize Planning Version"
   Semantic 000 LC: Quanity has decided Order series key figure & Semantic 001 TS:Quanity has decided Time Series Key igure.
   Under Planning Area,you have Key figure Tab & agian go in Details, so that you will find the semantic & in last column you will find Order or Time Series key fig.
Hope so above answer helpful for you.

How to take the back up of MPOS and planning area

Hi Gurus ,
i am using apo dp version 5.0 .We are trying to adding a new key kigfigures in our planning object structure and planning area .
so,we are trying take a back up of our Planning objects structure and planning Area .
1.How to take the back up of MPOS and Planning area ?
2. How loading back the data in to the same MPOS and Planning area after adding some keyfigures to MPOS and planning area.?
I gone thru the www.help.sap.com but i did not understand properly .
I would really appreciate if somebody clearly eleborate the procedural steps .
Thanks!
Kriss.

Hi Kriss,
First let me clear you some points.
1. MPOS always contain characteristcis only not the key figures.
2. Planning area always contain Key figures.
3. When you create planning area at that you have to assign MPOS & Storage bucket Profile. So Automatcially Characteristcis, Key figures & Time charcteristics realetion mentained.
Come to your point.
1. Before creating data source which is depend up on Planning area, you should sure that your basic structure get finalized say, MPOS, Planning area & rest configuration setting. So if you think there will be some extra key figure required after finalizing planning area then in that case you can creat some extra key figure & adding to planning area before finalizing it. So that you can use these key figure in future also.
What ever data you want to extract from planning area you required whole data extraction process. So whenever you create data source depend up on planning area then automatcially all the info Objects( Char. key figures, time char. ) come in to data source by default. So further you have to replicate it in to APO BW & create rest data extraction process depneds up on data source. So automatcially all the info objects come in to an Info Cube & your extraction process will wrk fine.
2. Relignment can effect on data transfer from Info Cube to Planning area becz previously your charcteristcis values are different & you had taken back with those characteristcis values, now if you did relignment then charcteristcis values are suppose to be changed, so while loading data from Info cube to Planning area your charcteristcis values will not match & data will not load for those char. values only.
See, Data always stored in to planning area ( Live cache) against characteristcis, Key figures & time characteristcis. Data is not stored in to MPOS.
Hope this will help you
