Forecast base Planning

Hello all,
Forecast base planning with various forecast models come under material management? or in production planning. please let me know .
thanks in advance.
SAP pp

HI,
its not based on the sap module.it based on the departmant, the forecasting is used.
basically inventory people do the forecasting in the end user side
but the configuration for the forecasting need to do by the production planning consultants.

MRP Type VV - Forecast Based Planning

Hi all,
My company would like to look at MRP Type "VV" - Forecast Based Planning (under Consumption-based Planning) for FG production materials.    I've read quite a bit about the concept and some based set up to how it works.   We would like to base Planned Orders > Production Orders based on this type of forecast planning.   It seem that SAP advises this kind of plannig for Raw Materials but not FG.   Anyway, what I really need to know are the specifics of how you set up the master data (in the Material Master) to properly execute this type of MRP: like....
MRP Type: VV
Lot Size: EX
Period Ind: W
Availability Check: 02
Forecast Period:   12
Periods per Season: 12
Historical periods: 60
other fields I'm not sure......
RP Profile: ??
Forecat Profile: ??
what else......?
Also, what is the recommended approach to convert this forecast plan into Planned requirements to be converted to Production Orders?
I appreciate any further information I can get on MRP Type "VV" and how it works.   I appreciate your input!

Thanks for the info nudratmaab.    Can you provide further data on what to expect given this forecast.....say I pick MVGA (Moving Average Forecast)? So I enter some consumption (say last 12 months) and run forecast (MP38).    The MD04 shows the average requirement per "W" bucket:
02/23/2012     ForReq     W 08/2012                16-
02/27/2012     ForReq     W 09/2012               116-
03/05/2012     ForReq     W 10/2012               116-
03/12/2012     ForReq     W 11/2012               116-
03/19/2012     ForReq     W 12/2012               116-
03/26/2012     ForReq     W 13/2012               116-
04/02/2012     ForReq     W 14/2012               116-
04/09/2012     ForReq     W 15/2012               116-
04/16/2012     ForReq     W 16/2012               116-
04/23/2012     ForReq     W 17/2012               116-
04/30/2012     ForReq     W 18/2012               116-
05/07/2012     ForReq     W 19/2012               116-
The next part is where it is a little foggy for me.   For "VV" do I run WRP1 (Replenishment) or do I run MD02/ 03 (MRP) and then what is the ForReq converted to (or does it even convert)?   I'm looking to implement this for Production Planning Requirements for Finished Produced products (I need them to convert to PldOrd (Planned Orders) to be converted to PrdOrd (Production Orders) by production scheduler.
The second part of this is the Raw Material (BOM component) associated with these Finished Goods. THese BOM components are set up as MRP Type "PD" and Lot size "EX" and I was hoping that the FG MRP run would also do BOM explosion and drive requirements for the Raw Material as well.....I'm not seeing that.
I need professional / expert to tell me how this works:    So MRP Type "VV" & Lot Size "EX" for the Finished Goods.......and MRP TYpe "PD" & Lot Size "EX" for the Raw Material (BOM Component).....
THanks again!!

How can i get difference in base plan and actual/current plan for a project

Hi PS Experts,
How can i get difference in base plan and actual plan .
For example-
Project1 is created for 10 days (start and end date difference).
Now in between -project is extended/changed for 12 days .
What is the way to get 2 days as a difference in base plan and current plan.
Thanks
Suraj prakash

Hi Suraj,
You can follow a convention that -
(1) Forecast Start/Finish dates: Used only for Primary planning, once initial planning is done you should not change these dates.
Now, you will copy the same dates in Basic Start/Finish dates also.
(2) Basic Start/Finish dates: Whatever changes are done after the initial planning, you will make the changes only in Basic Start/Finish dates.
So, in Project Planning board, if you enable Forecast and Basic dates with different color coding, you can clearly see the variation in the Project schedule.
Hope this helps.

Forecasting Based Planning with Dynamic Safety stock Calculation?

Hi Guys:
Based on the client requirement we are going with forecast based planning i.e based on Sales historical data , rather then buyer determining how much amount of safety stock need to be maintained ,
Can system calculate/propose safety stock based on lead time and service levels set for that particular material?.
how to load historical sales data into the system before go Live , so when they run MRP Run ( using forecast based Planning ) -> Planning orders>PO are triggered? or is there any alternative ?
Thanks
Sweth.

Hi.
Range of coverage profile in material master MRP2 view
The range of coverage profile contains the parameters for calculating the dynamic safety stock. This is a statistical calculation on the basis of average daily requirements.
Use
The dynamic safety stock is calculated depending on the requirements within a specified period and the range of coverage.
Dependencies
The range of coverage profiles (period length for calculating the average consumption, range of coverage, and so on) are maintained in Customizing in the MRP screen.
SPRO>MM>CBP>MRP CALCULATION>Define rage of coverage profile
or
Production>MRP>MRP Calculation>Define rage of coverage profile

Oracle Performance Forecasting / Capacity Planning

Hi,
I am being told to Analyse and Propose the Oracle Performance Forecasting / Capacity Planning, since our database are being hosted on co-hosting services. By planning we can help the cost of CPU, Memory and Disk projection.
Is there any way, we can get the current workload from the current production environment, and calculate the forecast based on Statistical values.
I know, we can get the current workload from AWR, but I dont know the calculations and proper judging method.
Thanks in advance.

If your application is typical, it will consumer resources in rough proportion to the load in transactions/queries per second. If your business is stagnant, the resources consumed will stay about the same.
As load grows, though, you'll hit a point at which the response time starts to grow without bound. This is typical of growing businesses, or ones which have done acquisitions in order to improve their customer base.
Capacity planning is knowing where that point is, and planning to stay far away from it (:-))
If you can do a load test on a single instance of a cloud (or time-sharing) machine and replay previously recorded transactions, you can measure how many replayed users it will take to slow down the machine, and how many additional user it takes to bring the transaction time from a typical 2-3 seconds to 30.
If you plot that line, you'll find you have a hyperbola or "hockey-stick" curve, and that will allow you and your financial mangers to plan on exactly how many users to cap a given machine at, to keep the performance below 3 seconds or so. After that many users, add another machine.
The usual rule of thumb is to keep the response time from doubling from it's average at very low load, as after it's once doubled, it keeps doubling and redoubling with tiny increases in load.
I personally like to model first and stress-test only to confirm I've not messed up. The tool of choice is Teamquest Model, and have used it to accurately measure and predict the behaviour of an Oracle database (and lots of other stuff). If you're interested in the theory behind this, read anything by Neil Gunther...

Which table can we see consumption and forecast values in forecast based planning

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am working on implementing forecast based planning for Spare parts for my client. They have one Main Plant which do purchase of Spare Parts and through Stock transfers moved to 60+ Plants from where Spares are being sold.
Now I am carrying out SAP trial runs for a set of 160+ materials with various models and want to compare with their existing methodology of requirement calculation.
I want to compile Consumption and Forecast data month wise for these trial materials (160+ materials in 60 Plants) . One way I thought is to go individual Material Master and looks for values in Forecast view. However it is tedious and time consuming.
The table name shows RMCP2 and RM03M for forecast and Cons values, but I could not find the table.
Hence I want to know which table if I can view I can get the consumption and forecast data calculated for quick copying and compilation.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Dear Mariano,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Like I could able to get the consumption values for materials using table MVER and fields GSV01,GSV02 etc.,
What field I need refer in table PROP for getting forecast values.
As such I could not see any column where in data are similar to Forecast view.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Forecast based planning -weekly schedules split -reg

Hi,
our requirement is we use forecast based planning where in both forecast periods and historical periods are months
then when fore cast is run requirement is coming in Md04 in monthly buckets only
when we run MRP the out put schedules should come in weekly bucket taking this monthly requirement
how to get that
as we understand weekly demand can be cumulated to get schedules on monthly but monthly demand can not be split in to weekly schedules as output
any thoughts
regards,
Madhu

Hi,
There's a customization transaction where you can define splitting of forecast requirements for MRP.
Go SPRO, Materials management, Consumption based planning, Forecast, Define Splitting of Forecast Requirements for MRP.

Characteristic base planning

Hi Experts,
would just like to ask how would i configure the planning in APO such that if I am using characteristic base planning for make to order and the sales order item provides multiple values for a single characteristic. Say, paper color is red, yellow, or purple. and the planned order will be created with the color that has the available stock?
Kindy advise.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Ria

Hi Ria,
I have given below the SAP notes containing detailed configuration of classes and characteristics in APO.
1038904 - Changes to characteristics not transferred to APO
714929 - Integration of characteristics and class
832393 - Release restrictions of SCM 5.0
449565 - Integration with CDP in APO
949246 - Error message during CIf of characteristics and class
For the error of characteristics not seen in APO, you refer to note 1038904. For detailed settings for ciffing class and characteristics to APO, use notes 714929.
Please get back to me with your observations.
Regards

BAPI for "Change Base Planning Object"

Hi
Is there any BAPI for "Change Base Planning Object" ( TC KKE2).
I need to change the Price of a Resource in the Cost Items for a Base Planning Object.
So if any one know the BAPI for this topic please let me know, and if possible send me your code also it will be really help full.
Regards

I didn't find a BAPI to do this. I had to do it by a Batch Input.

Consider the pending PO and Purchase requisition fore cast base planning (vv)

Dear friends,
Our client at presently they are using Forecast based planning for RAW material , in that requirement will not consider Pending Pur req and PO, Is that any option for consider pending PO for Forecast based planning , kindly do the needful.
Regards,
Sabhapathy R

Hello Sabhapathy,
I am not sure why you would need to consider pending PurReqs and POs. These pending documents are considered during the MRP run, but not to generate the forecast.
Forecast-based planning is based on material consumption.
The MRP will generate PurReq or Planner Orders considering the open documents. For example:
+ Current stock = 1000 CS
+ Open PRs and POs to arrive = 400 CS
- Forecast Requirement =1500 CS
- Safety Stock policies = 100 CS (safety stok)
- New replenishment orders = 200 CS
Thanks and Regards,
Mariano

Currency of Base Planning Object, KKE1, CKUC

Dear all,
I have a question regarding the currency used to valuate base planning object.
The system stores the total value only in what it calls the "local" currency, actually it is the controlling area currency. We need the figures in the company code currency, not just for display, but for recording, because we use the base planning object to plan costs in easy cost planning in PS, and we plan there in the controlling area currency too.
Anybody has an idea how to get the company code currency instead of the conrolling area currency in the master data of the base planning object ?
Kind regards
François

Hello Guido,
I agree with you regarding the object my problem. However, I have not yet found a way to change the currency of the object. I can change the currency of the header in the cost estimates.
However, easy cost planning ECP does not take this into acount when pricing base planning object in PS, it goes for the object price, which is in controlling area currency.
Kind regards
François

Base plan object costing sheet

Hi,
Pls advice do v need of creating new costing sheet for base planning object separately.
We used the existing costing sheet that v already have attached to our other pricing variants because there's no difference of OH calculation. But in base plan object, it doesn't calculate the OH automatical using the given costing sheet. This is our first time of using base plan object for our price simulations, pls advice how and what should we do to get solve this prob !!!
Thanx

HELLO
IF OH ARE NOT GET CALCULATED , ITS BECAUSE OF YOUR COST SHEET AND NOT OF BASE PLAANING OBJECT .
CHECK THE COST SHEET , HOW AND WHEN IT CALUCULATE OVEHEADS.
BECAUSE BSAE PLANNING OBJECT REQUIRED ONLY COST SHEET ASSIGNEMENT BY MANUALLLY OR BY COSTING VARIANT.
THANKS
ALOK

Forecast Based Planning

Hi Gurus,
In which type of material forecast based planning (VV) is used in business process?
Forecast requirement are obtained by forecast run of these material.
Further you get the planned orders only when you run MRP on plant level or on that material. Planned orders not generated on its parent material?
Pl through light on this.
Srini

hi
forecast based planning is a type of consumption based planning . if u know the historical consumption of ur materials then u can plan with mrp type VV , u need to maintain the consumption data in forecast view of material master. Run ur forecast in MP38 or MPBT and then run mrp based on ur for req,.
MRP run will not consider PIR or sales order .
