Forecast consumption for external items?

Hi,
Forecast Consumption is not been executed for Items Externally Sourced.
Then you just change the item attribute to Internal Sourced and starts working.
Thanks & Regards

Where are you changing this item attribute?

Forecast consumption against CTO item in ASCP

In source side module (OM, MRP) , following is the observation:
i) we define a forecast set with consume check box checked for ATO model
ii) create a sales order for ATO model , configure it .
The sales order quantity for configured item is consumed against forecast of ATO model.
I want to do same type(as source) of consumption in ASCP for configured item. Is this possible? I was trying to check this scenario in R12. Following is the setup:
i) created forecast set with consume check box Unchecked for ATO model
ii) create sales order for ATO model and configure it .
iii) run collection
iv) define plan with plan options ;
consume by forecast bucket checked and explode forecast check box checked.
In this above setup, the sales order quantity for configured item is not getting consumed against forecast of ATO model. Is there any thing wrong in setup ? please let me know.

Abhishek,
I would revisit this part of your setup for ASCP:
"created forecast set with consume check box Unchecked for ATO model"
You just instructed ASCP not to consume this forecast. The source side forecast set must have "consume forecast" selected.
Starting in 11.5.10 release, Oracle implemented very significant improvements for CTO model forecast consumption. The old MRP process supported forecast consumption for one level in the sales order organization only. Oracle ASCP 11.5.7 through 11.5.9 supported multi-level, multi-org forecast consumption for one source of organizations only.
So yes, your requirement is supported in 11.5.10 and later releases. ASCP will perform forecast consumption in this order:
1. Consume the forecast for that specific Configured item (if entered)
2. Consume the forecast for any remaining sales order demand for the referenced ATO Model.
3. Explode the bill and consume the forecast for lower level options, subassembly configured items, and ATO models as needed.
To support this in a multi-org environment you will need to provide a global forecast and appropriate sourcing assignments.

CTM - Forecast Consumption for Dependent Demand

Hi
We have a scenario where the Planning Strategy for a assembly part (say X) is set to a custom copy of 70 so that forecast is consumed by dependent demand. Forecasts are released from DP for such assemblies.
The Parent of this assembly (say A) is defined when sales order is taken (Engineer-To-Order scenario) and BOM defined with X under it. The Finished Good 'A' itself may have any other planning strategy (say Make-To-Stock or Make-To-Order).
The problem we are seeing is that when system plans for X during a CTM run, the system adds the the dependent demand of the parent to the forecast of X itself. There is no forecast consumption, so this leads to doubling up of demand.
I understand that forecast consumption occurs in Livecache and CTM does not store the intermediate results of planning in Livecache as orders, so there is no forecast consumption.
Any suggestions on how forecast consumption of dependent demand can be achieved during the CTM run ?
Thanks
Rishi Menon

Hi,
Request you to go thru the CTM help library under topic sub assembly planning to resolve your issue..
It says you need to carryout two CTM runs.
In the first CTM planning run, you plan the sales orders, and in the second CTM planning run that you then execute immediately afterwards, you plan the planned independent demands of the assembly.

How MS/MRP and Oracle ASCP will work for Manufracturing for a Item 'PEN' .

Hi All,
I am having oracle MS/MRP and Oracle ASCP.
I want to manufrature item as PEN. All items are buy items
Can any one tell here how MS/MRP & ASCP will work to manufrature a pen.
What will be the flow of these 2 modules?
Thanks,
Edited by: user11362919 on Jul 9, 2009 1:11 AM

Hi
If I understand your qn correctly you are asking about a writing pen ?
Lets say it has parts like pen body,refill,top and cap all these items will have ''buy souricng rules''.
Based on demand for the end item ''Pen'' AsCP will explode BOM for the Pen and suggest supplies as planned orders for the components , which can be converted to Std PO or BPA release automatically. All that MRP module could be of use to you is to define Forecast demand for the item.

Planning item forecast consumption

We have a business need to use forecast demand to react and order long purchasing lead time items early and stock sub-assemblies to reduce manufacturing lead time. However our sales orders are for unique items (configured by outside system) , which cannot be forecasted as these items never repeat. It’s also not possible to create Product Family or planning BOM with Base model as assembly and saleable items as components because, saleable items keep changing (as they are unique). Due to this reason, standard forecast explosion will not serve the purpose of consuming the forecast. Hence, we are exloring the forecasting at Planning item level, which is a logical group of similar type of saleable items. Planning Bills will be created to include sub assmeblies and critical components. However now we have a problem with consumption, Planning item forecast needs to be consumed as sales orders for Unique items get created. Is there a way in standard oracle to address this business scenario? We are on 11.5.x and using MRP. Early response will be appreciated
Thanks,
Nitin

Use planning BOM which contains your sub assemblies or intermediates. Explode the planning BOM to arrive at forecast for individual sub assemblies / components.
Try using Forecast type : consume and derive in item setup

The operation can't be completed because the original item for "EXTERNAL" can't be found.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion I can no longer access my exFat formatted USB drive that is connected to my iMac from my MBP. I can connect to the iMac, but when I try to mount the USB drive I get an error message saying "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "EXTERNAL" can't be found."
I have enabled only 'SMB' in sharing preference on all of my machines, and all are running Mountain Lion.
*I have since tried connecting directly with the IP address, same result, and also reformatting the USB drive to just FAT32, same issue. I need the drive formatted in a windows format so my home theatre system can connect to it.

Update, So I disassembled the external hard drive case and pulled the bare drive out and connected the drive directly to my motherboard and without change any settings on the PC, the MacBook can now access it over the network. What is it about externals that the Mac can't access them over networks?

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.

How to use external CSS for standard items ?

Hi,
I would like to use my external CSS style-sheet for the standard items I add to my portal page.
I build an UI template with a CSS-link to my css style-sheet, and I used this UI template for my portal page. But it seems that items cannot use this UI template CSS reference.
Is there a way to use external CSS on standard items (text, url,...) ?
Thanks for your help,
Best Regards,
JC.AUDARD

Easiest way I find to do it is to drop your css file in the portal/images folder. Make a hidden html portlet on your template and link to /images/mycss.css. You can then use it for many items such as text, links, html portlets, etc.

SAP Interactive forms for external consumption

Dear Experts,
We have a requirement in one of our projects to expose our SAP Interactive forms for external consumption. This services are in ICF currently and I am trying to get them into ODATA repository. I have even created a model for that but unable to get the ICF services intot the ODATA repository.
Need your expert help in getting this done.
Would appreciate a step-by-step help from you.
Thanks,
Ayyappa

Ayyappa,
This is how I would approach.
SAP Interactive form content can be obtained by calling corresponding Function Module. So you create an oData service having a media entity. The 'read' (*GET_ENTITY) method would call this Function Module and return the form to frontend.
Thanks

Forecast Consumption in SNP for shipped qty's

Hello experts,
I got a question for forecast consumption in SNP and whether forecast stays "consumed" or not after a customer orders gets shipped (Post Goods Issue).
My example is: I have a weekly bucket forecast qty of 100 in DP and release this to SNP. Now in SNP planning book I have 30 units of open Customer Demand against it ... means I have 70 in Forecast line (30 units got consumed correctly). Once I create a shipment for the open Customer Order of 30 units in R3 the situations remains the same .. but if I post the Goods Issue now on the delivery document the Customer Demand disappears (which is correct) but my Forecast line increases again from 70 to 100. I thought forecast consumption in APO would "remember" the already shipped quantities ? I know that you can reorganize open forecast but want I'm looking for is the standard R3 behaviour of keeping already shipped qty's as consumed. Can anybody help here or explain ?
Regards
Thomas
Using SCM5.0

Hi Datta,
I checked the note - there is only point 9 in the list saying:
"9. During goods issue for the delivery in R/3, the forecast is always reduced to the date requested by the customer. In addition, overdeliveries are ignored."
Unfortunately this doesn't explain how it works or needs to be done to have FCST consumption happen in APO_SNP based on shipped qty's. In my case FCST consumption works okay up to the point of posting the goods issue on a delivery document. I wonder if there something I need to activate somewhere to have this working since I can't see any "with drawn qty" in APO.
Any other hints ?
Regards
Thomas

Forecast Consumption in SNP for Make-to-Order products

We are working on using APO-SNP for Make-to-order products (PlngStrategyGroup = "81" in R/3). We want to achieve normal forecast consumptino on FinishedGoodLevel and generate PlndOrders which shall derive component demand for purchasing (such PlndOrers wont be released to production - they should only function as demand driven on component level)
What we have done so far: Forecast in APO-DP on Finished good level exists and has been released to SNP. The product gets "ciffed" from R/3 into APO material master with planning strategy group "20" (which is basically "make-to-stock") --> we were hoping this would allow us to use "normal" forecast consumption but nothing happens (FCST is not being consumpted by open Sales orders). Within the product view of such products APO is still "realizing" that this is a make-to-order product.
Any other ideas / thoughts what could be done to achieve "normal" forecast consumption on FGI level for make-to-order products in APO-SNP ?
Tks !

I checked in /n/SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View), unfortunately only FC exists there
Seems that the open Sales Orders from R/3 are being created within another segment (the "element" Tab of RRP3 shows 2 segments:
1) "Make-to-stock" (which contains the FC)
2) "Make-to-order" (which contains the Sales Orders)
That might explain the issue I see (FC and SOs are in different planning segment --> no consumption). Reading about planning segments in the help sounds like I need to find a way to bring Sales Orders for Make-to-Order products into the Make-to-stock segment ... jus a thought .. any idea how to do this ? Does that mean I need to modify the CIF for Sales Order transfer for Make-to-order products ?
Tks

External ID (SSCC / EXIDV) for each item inside a heterogeneous pallet

Hello experts,
I need to generate an external ID (SSCC code) to each item (box) inside a multi-product HU(pallet) in my system.
In normal operation, my system picks up a delivery and packs it, creating standard HUs (one fixed quantity of one material), and/or heterogeneous Hus (non-standard quantities of one or more materials) inside a pallet for each item in the delivery. Each pallet (HU) created has an entry in VEKP table and a distinct SCCC stored in field EXIDV. Iu2019m using shipping materials of type pallet.
If I need a different SSCC to each BOX inside the non-standard pallet, what is the better approach?
-     Create shipping a material with type BOX
-     For each HU created, unpack it using BAPI_HU_UNPACK
-     For each BOX inside the initial HU, create a shipping material type BOX with a new EXIDV (SSCC), and pack inside it a box, and then pack this shipping material back into the initial HU?
To have one EXIDV for each box, I canu2019t group (sum) the quantities even if they correspond to a some material.
This seems to me the only way to solve this problem, but it will be a hard work.
Can someone point a simplest way to turn around this problem?
Thank you
Best regards
Paulo Sousa

I kept researching, I found some possible solution in this blog:
https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/category/Oracle/Templates/RTF
so, I created a local SITE variable inside every cell to get the external SITE info:
<Cell>
<xsl:variable name="DIMID" select="DIMID"/>
<xsl:variable name="SITE" select="{xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'SITE')}"/>
<xsl:value-of select="/DATA/SITE/SITE_DATA[DATAGROUPID = $SITE]/YEAR[SURVEYYEAR = 2012]/DIM[DIMID = $DIMID]/ITEM[ITEMID = 0 and PUNFAV != 0]/PFAV"/>
</Cell>
but I get this error at run time:

Hi,
I captured the file name of the file MP_20140215_SS.CSV using a for loop container and used code
from
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/440c2fae-8ec9-44cc-9011-5a27f9b20768/retrieve-data-from-an-csv-to-an-ssis-variable?forum=sqlintegrationservices
in a script task to capture the value b in a variable from the file MP_20140215_SS.CSV
and wrote it to a SQL table. It worked good for me.
I am trying to do the same with the other two files I have different for loop containers(Total three for loop containers for each file) and different variables but
its not capturing the value 'b' from the other two files. It will only writing the file name to the sql table.
Please help.

Which order type gets collected and is used for forecast consumption

Hi all,
I would like to know which Order Types (transaction types) get collected into ASCP (appear as demand) and which Order Types are used for forecast consumption.
I tried to find something in the user guides, but had not yet success :(
What I want to do:
1. decide which order types are collected or not
2. decide which order types consume forecast or not
Anyone any advices?
Big thanks in advance,
David.

Hi,
Rather speaking like Order types, we may use word Sales Order. ASCP will collect all the Sales Orders for which we need to intiate action for Supplies. How it is determined?. It is determined from SO lines where in we have So lines are scheduled(it is prt of Workflow action too) and It is flaged 'Yes' for "Visible Demand Flag" . This is what designed functionality. We do not care what type of order type it is.
thanks,
dr

BOM explosion not done for externally procured item.

Hi Experts,
We have done MRP run for finish goods which is creating planned orders for HALB material, but it is not further exploding the BOM of HALB material, so we are not getting any planned order/pur requisition for ROH. Plz help me out asap.

Hi,
When you run MRP for an externally procured item say - HALB , proposals will be generated say-planned order for ext proc for that item and the BOM will not be exploded further.
