Flexible Planning - Aggregation Inconsistency

Folks,
I'm executing the forecasting on my info str @ the lowest level of the Plng Hierarchy. When I go to view the results after the forecast run at an immediate higher level, I see incosistency in the aggregation. Almost, consistently, the system is not doing the math correctly (adding) on certain months, while its aggregating/adding up correctly on other months.
Not sure, why is this behavior.
Any instances like these that you experts might have come across? What could be wrong?
Cheers

Hi Geoff,
Welcome to SDN.
Multi planner can read the data in the same time (read only) but only one planner can update the data in case they are accessing data at same level (key figures).
Also multi planners can work with different versions but at then end only one active version need to be used for example 000.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Ferry Lianto

MC9B after MC9A for flexible planning

I have custom infostructure where we do flexible planning. We are using consistent planning
when I have data in my structure, I run MC9A to create planning hierarchy.
to generate proportional factors, I need to run MC9B..
but even without doing MC9B, I am able to change the quantity on the aggregated level and have the data dis aggregated to the bottom level with correct proportions.
so what is the use of running MC9B? I am confused here...
also in MC7F, there is a check box" planing objects check: off". what will happen if check this box? I read the f1 help but doed not get it.. Thanks

Any help is appreciated

Transfer to demand management - Flexible Planning

Hi everyone,
I was wondering whether someone has carried out the next process in the following scenario. I am working with flexible planning in SOP (level-by-level planning and dual level planning type, since I am working with product groups).
Now I would like to transfer to demand management some data stored in a ratio associated to one field (disaggregated value) in my planning table.
I tried to do it using the online mode but I just could transfer aggregated level values. I also tried to do it with batch processing (by creating a trannfer profile, then an activity, then a job and finally scheduling and executing the job) but there was an error message that looks like "No dual planning requirements allowed".
I would be very grateful if someone could give some useful information about how to solve my problem. I guess that someone in this forum has faced this challenge formerly.
Thanks in advance and best regards.
Ben.

Hi,
Yes, dual level was specified in the MC8A.
Thanks.

Flexible planning

Hi
We are using S076 SOP table for SD report (Sales Forecast Report ). This has only material number as key, where as we want to know if flexible planning will give material/shipto as key for forecast.
Thanks In advance .

Hi
I am trying to create new information structure copying S076 . Could I request you to clarify below points pls .
1. Which application I have to select in the field , does this application selection makes any difference ?
2.What type of IS ( Information Structure ) I need to select in the field .
3.If I copy S076 and trying to create new information structure , in key figures ,field " material " is not there . I need combination of material / ship to party , what have I to do for this problem pls ....
Does these fields display vary depending upon the application selection ?
Thanks

Error in Data Transfer : From CO-PA to SOP Flexible Planning

Hi Friends
I am working on a Scenario of Transferring CO-PA data to Flexible Planning, I am encountering few problems, I have done the followig steps, request you to check and get back to me..
The following configuration steps are done with Example;
Characteristic assignment
u2022 Sales Organization
u2022 Region
u2022 Plant
u2022 Material Number
u2022 Material Group
Key figure(s) assignment
u2022 Sales Quantity
Assignment: Information structure - operating concern
S555 u2013 Z001
Define activities Z1
Mass Processing Job : ZSO-PA
We are able to transfer data from CO-PA to standard SOP, But we tried for transfer to Flexible Planning SOP by creating Mass Processing Job setting as below configuration path.
Production -> Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) ->Functions -> Mass Processing -> Transfer LIS / CO-PA
After executing Job MC8G - Schedule, we checked in Tcode - MC8I u2013 Check, Status: Processed with errors, And also data are not displayed in Tcode : MC95 for Material & active version.
We couldnu2019t find log for error status.
What is the method / Procedure for transfer data to Flexible Planning SOP?
Please get back to me.

Dear,
Status:            Processed with errors ok
Activities checked:? what is the error message here like
   COPY
       Planning type in activity and job not identical
       Planning type of job: SOPKAPAM
       Plng. type of activity:Z004PLAN
When checking a mass processing job in SOP/flexible planning (Transaction MC8I), in the log error message "Activity and COPA profile have different planning versions?
Or planned/actual indicator in the COPA profile?
Version should be        A00
Please check the MC8S. Then an Avtivity in MC8T
after you create the job in MC8D with the acitivity you have defined for your info structure.
After that check in MD62 for plan value.

MRP Areas in Flexible Planning?

Hi,
we are in the process of evaluating different planning tools for our long term planning. And I guess we have two options: APO-DP and Flexible Planning in ECC. We are a non manufacturing (government) organisation and want to try to forecast/plan future demand and requirements. We are getting our demands from maintenance orders and cost center consumption. Reqs are in the form of components on maintenance orders and STO's between storage locations in different MRP areas.
Is it possible to do flexible planning and taking mrp areas into account. Will it be possible to forecast future demands on Plant and MRP area level. Mind we are not selling anything through sales order, so we are not actively using SD org structure.
Best regards,
Kenneth

Dear,
APO-DP Vs Flexible Planning in ECC. Yes APO advance but ECC is more user friendly.
The master data is managed in R/3 and transferred to APO using CIF. An issue storage location is maintained in the R/3 production version. This issue storage location is assigned to an MRP area in R/3. This MRP area is contained in the integration model (transaction CFM1). The MRP area is therefore transferred to APO. The APO plan (PPM or PDS) is created in APO in the MRP area. Using this plan, a planned order is created in the MRP area location in APO.
If you want the R/3 behavior, you must not assign the component to the model in the MRP area location. The system will then automatically switch to the plant location, that is, the system then uses the plant location as the issuing location of the component in MRP area.
Hope it will solve your problem. Also refer the OSS Note 628739 - APO 3.x Release restrictions for MRP areas

Use excel file upload to the "Flexible planning"

Hi PP Experts,
I created an info structure S902 for flexible planning, user can use this new plan type to do the Forecasting.
But due to our plant hava a lot material , user very hope to do the month forecasting in the excel ,
After review ,then upload to this LIS table,
I don't know how to do it,
Does anyone have experience ?
Thanks.

there is no standard functionality avaiable to upload a Excel data in to a infostructure.
as the characteristics and Key figures could vary .
Develop a Z progarm to acheive your functionality.

Forecast with flexible planning

Hi,
We are going to do forecast with flexible planning.I have created a new infostructure and the planning type.We have loaded the sales values into this infostructure manullay thru. a customised program and executed the forecast on these.I have few questions:
1. Do i need to activate forecasting view in the material master? If it is, why?
2. How many months of historical values i have to consider to calculate the next 12 months forecast and how frequently i have to update my infostructure and calculate the forecast?
3. How the basic value/MAD/Error total will be calculated?
4. when using the automatic model selection with procedure 2 ,it will come up with some model.Is there any way where we can see what the model it has selected and the forecast parameters?
Please don't suggest the SAP help links.
Thanks in advance,
Kumar

Hi,
No need to create a forecasting view in the Material master.
as you are using Infostructure, you are exepcted to use the Mass processing for Forecasting.
Define a Forecasting Profile in MC94.
create a Back ground job for executing the forecasting.
Run the joob.

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

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.

Error Creating Flexible Planning (MC93)

Hi I am implementing Flexible Planning and I have had problems changing characteristics in info structures.
1. First in Development environment I customized an info structure that i transport to QAS.
2. I deleted a characteristic in the info structure I generate again the tables and everything it´s ok and I execute transaction MCSY for resetting, then i transport to QAS and I don´t have problems.
3. The problem it´s when I add a new characteristic to the info structure I execute the same steps and I transport to QAS when I try to create a Planning (MC93) I got an error: "Internal error : 047 in routine Planning Coding" Message No. MA 098
I was looking for notes and there is the same error but in older versions and all the support packages have been implemented. I am using 4.6c version and I found this problem in older versions like 3.0 I really don´t know what it´s going on and i hope you could help me or maybe what could be the reason. I don´t think that it´s customizing.
Thank´s in advanced

HI, I proved like this:
1. I executed transaction MC8O for regenerating programs.
2. I executed transaction MC22 for generate info structure
3. I created a new transport order
4. I realesed the transport order
5. The transport was made from Development to QA
Again I got the following transport errors:
"Finished with return code 8" = 8 errors
I proved again with transaction MC93 for create a new Flexible Planning and I´ve got error 047 again.
What do you suggest???

Dump error in customizing flexible planning

Hello,
Am preparing for building customized flexible planning according to the SAP standard i had prepared the EX:ZETHPLN
planning type for fiscal year.
But when running its giving dump error tht in MMCP5575
'pmnux' NOT found but in my infostructure S575 i dnt have this field but run time this is giving dump plz if any from PP back ground help me.

Hi
while creation of infostructure in flexible planning in MC21 , you should have geneated .
Finally infostructure status should be active & saved.
Then MC7F you should have created all paramters properly.
Pl. chk.

Delta from Flexible Planning LIS InfoStructure

Hello experts,
Is it possible to have delta updates for a custom InfoStructure where the updates are from flexible planning?
It appears that delta postings are only generated from the regeneration of the standard update rules and the planning updates do not add values to the delta tables (SXXXBIW1 and SXXXBIW2).
Please confirm if it is possible to get delta from flexible planning and what setup is required if it's possible.
Thanks.

I sent a customer message to SAP and here is the answer from them:
Unfortunately, the functionality you are looking for is not available in the current Plug-in/BW releases. Also, it does not appear that this functionality is currently being developed.
The flexible planning transactions do not utilize the LIS delta tables so the data will not be included in the delta updates.
You may consider extracting the data via a generic extractor to an ODS object or other data target.
