Forecast dates CM07 networks

Hello all,
does anyone know, if it is possible to make cpapcity planning with forecast start and forecast end dates of a network with CM07?
I was only able to make capacity planning with basic start and basic end dates :-(
Please help!!!

Hello,
SAP PS works with two set of dates, basic dates and forecast dates on the level of networks activities as well. So I mean the forecast end date and forecast start date of network activities.

  • Copying basic dates to forecast dates

    Hi Experts,
    I am using WBSE and activities in my project. I want to copy basic dates to forecast dates. But, when i am doing this in Edit>Reconcile date->Transfer basic dates to forecast dates. Then my Planning type in network header also gets change from Basic date to forecast date. which i don't want. I just want that my basic dates get copied to forecast dates , so that i can use forecast dates as my planed dates through the project and never change it. So, that i can always compare , basic dates, forecast dates and actual dates.
    Thanks.

    May be you can try the following....
    1)  Edit>Reconcile date->Transfer basic dates to forecast dates.
    2) manually change Planning type in network header from forecast date to Basic date.

  • Scheduling with Forecast Dates

    Dear Experts,
    I want to know whether following is possible.
    When creating a project initial schedule dates based on Activity Duration and Activity Relationships should reflect as Basic Dates. After project creation, when ever the Project Manager reschedule the project, those reschedule dates should be reflect as Forecasted dates.
    By doing this the Project Manager will be able to identify Initial Plan as Basic Dates, Reschedule Plan as Forecasted Dates and Actual as Actual Dates.
    Very Much Appreciate your Support,
    Dileepa.

    Dear All,
    I did reschedule Forecasting Dates using CN24 (Overall Network Scheduling) transaction. But after doing this, overall Project and WBS Elements dates does not changes based on the reschedule Network Time lines.
    Further I have define "Network determines dates" as the Scheduling method in WBS Schedule Profile.
    Very much appreciate your guidance,
    Dileepa.

  • WBS Forecast dates disappears during scheduling after final confirmation

    Hi dear Experts.I faced a problem with WBS dates.
    The system overwrites forecast and basic dates on WBS after final confirmation of attached activities. And start to schedule wbs dates from dates of activities with no confirmation. Is there any way to solve this prolem?
    In other words i need my WBS to take into scheduling ALL the operations forecast date. Moreover how the system can overwrite the forecast dates wich were entered manually by user?
    Green - actual dates
    Yellow (orange) - forecast dates
    Bue - Basic dates
    Please help.

    Hi Kirill,
    Please check the control parameters for WBS Scheduling. Check if the scheduling method over here is WBS Determines Dates. If this is the case, irrespective of the scheduling that was carried out at the activity level, the system overwrites the basic and forecast dates present at the WBS level. May be in your case the scheduling method that had been used was "Network determines dates".
    . Please change this and let me know if this helps.
    Regards

  • Authorization for Basic dates and Forecast dates

    Hello colleagues,
    My customer requires is to have separate authorizations for using Basic dates and Forecast dates within WBS Element, Network and Milestone.
    Iv'e noticed that the rellevant autorization object to have this separation is C_PROJ_TCD ; field: PSARG ; activity: 111 & 112. However I wonder if this is relevant to all related objects  in the project or only to the Project definition object.
    If the answer is only to PD I will be glad to have an idea how to controll it within the other objects .
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards,

    It is for all the objects... but you can not control it on basis of only that auth object.
    For network,
    use object :
    C_AFKO_ACT
    and activity 22 Display dates
    for Project def and WBS, use
    C_PROJ_KOK, C_PROJ_PRC, C_PROJ_VNR
    C_PRPS_KOK, C_PRPR_PRC, C_PRPS_VNR

  • Forecast Date Usage

    Dear All,
    What is the use of Forecast dates and basic dates?
    How can we compare Basic Dates, Forecast Dates and Actual dates.
    Can we compare dated with  delay in the project planning Board in deifferent colours and how?

    Basic and Forecast Dates
    Basic dates are the dates that have a binding character for time scheduling and for other related areas such as capacity planning.
    Forecast dates are dates that you expect based on more detailed planning or on changes during the course of the project. Forecast dates have no influence on reservations, purchase requisitions, or current capacity requirements.
    You can enter basic and forecast dates for WBS elements and activities. In networks, you can also forecast values for the work as well as for the dates.
    You are free to decide which type of date you use for planning and scheduling. You can schedule a network using the forecast dates, for example, or you can copy the forecast dates into the basic dates in the WBS or activity and then use them as the basis for further planning.
    Actual dates:
    Actual dates provide you with information on the state of the project. You enter them manually in the WBS elements or the system calculates them using confirmation data.
    Scheduled Dates
    Scheduled dates are the start and finish dates of activities calculated by the system in scheduling. For WBS elements the scheduled dates are determined from the scheduled dates of the activities that are assigned to the WBS element.
    Earliest and Latest Dates
    Earliest and latest dates are calculated in network scheduling and tell you the earliest or latest data that an activity must start or finish on.
    To compare the dates:
    In Project planning board, click on "Set of Dates/View" button which can be found besides Options button.
    Then Check the required dates.
    Dates will be shown in different colours, you can compare them visually and get the amount delay.
    If you are not sure about the colours, just click on Legend button to see which colour represents what.
    Regards...

    Hi Dennis,
        All those Layer 2 extension technologies require STP to be extended between Data Centers if you need to have multiple paths between Data Centers. OTV does not extend STP rather it has its own mechanism (AED election) to avoid loop when multiple paths are enabled. It means any STP control plane issue, we don't carry to the other Data Center.
        OTV natively suppresses Unknown Unicast Flooding across the OTV overlay. Unknown unicast flooding is a painful problem in layer 2 network and difficult to troubleshoot to identify the root cause if you don't have proper network monitoring tool.
       It has ARP optimization which eliminates flooding ARP packets across Data Center by responding locally with cached ARP messages. One of the common issues I have seen in Data Center is some server or device in the network sends continuous ARP packets which hits Control plane in the Aggregation layer which in turn causes network connectivity issue.
    The above three points proves the Layer 2 domain isolation between data centers. If you have redundant Data Centers with Layer 2 extended without OTV, the above explained layer 2 issue which happens in one Data Center carries the same failure to the second data center which creates the question of what is the point of having two different Data Centers if we can not isolate the failure domain.
      OTV natively supports HSRP localization with few command lines. This is a very important requirement in building Active/Active Data Center.
    Even though your question is related to L2TP, OTV deserves the comparison with VPLS and those comparison will also be applicable for L2TP. The below link explains in detail...

  • How to get the forecast data from SCM into BW

    Hello,
    Is there a table or Function module in SCM F&R  that can be used  to transfer the forecast data from SCM F&R into BW? I dont see any Business content datasources that has the forecast data.
    I would like to get the future forecast data. For ex, if there is a forecast for a material and Site for the next 52 weeks, I would like to retrieve
    the same from SCM. I dont see any business content. The closest would be 0FRE_ANA_WEEKLY_1. But it has only the past data, not the future data.
    Thanks,
    SBS.

    Hi,
    You would follow the same process as you would for getting data from a R3 system to BW, i.e generate datsources on the APO side and then set the extraction to flow from APO to BW. On the BW side, you'll need a source system for the APO, replicate datsources, set up update and transfer rules in the infosource and then load data to the data targets.
    Cheers,

  • Joining Actual and Forecast Data

    Hi All,
    I have two cubes one for actual and one for forecast data. In the actual cube data comes at 0MATERIAL, 0CUSTOMER, 0DIVISION, 0FISCPER level for for key figure 0AMOUNT (Actual Revenue). In the Forecast Cube the data comes at ZMATERIAL, ZCUSTOMER, ZDIVISION, ZFISCPER for the key figure ZAMOUNT (Forecasted Revenue).
    How can i merge the two providers where in one single row i can show both the actual
    and the forecasted amount for the same material, customer, division and fiscal period.
    Thanks
    Rashmi.

    Create a multiprovider consisting of your actual and forecast cubes.  Within the multiprovider, include the desired info objects (e.g. 0MATERIAL, ZDIVISION, etc.).  Within the multiprovider 'Identification' function, be sure to map the applicable info object(s) from each cube to the multiprovider info object.
    For multiprovider 0MATERIAL: map Actual 0MATERIAL and Forecast ZMATERIAL.
    For multiprovider ZDIVISION: map Actual 0DIVISION and Forecast ZDIVISION
    You then build your query using info objects within multiprovider.

  • Need to change forecast data thru planning book + doubt while creating POS

    hi friends,
    my application creates forecast data for following.
    product , location start date , end date.
    i need to put this data into APO(DP).
    i know i can do it using BAPI CHANGEKEYFIGUREVALUE2 of Planning Book APs
    my doubt is while create a Plng Object store, what fileds do i take as charachteristics which match these, please reply if have some clue

    Hi Rohit,
    I believe i misunderstood your first post. I had given the BAPI parameters that you need to fill up for the given business requirements you have mentioned. I realized you were asking about the POS.
    Answer to Q1: You can not place time characteristics in the POS. You will define the "time characteristics" in your Planning Area by specifying a relevant storage bucket profile.
    Answer to Q2: You dont need to add time characteristics in the POS.
    Answer to Q3: 9AVERSION is not included in the POS. However, when you use BAPIs BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL and BAPI_PBSRVAPS_CHANGEKEYFIGVAL to read/write data from/to the planning area you need to supply a selection for the planning version (9AVERSION).
    Hope this helps.

  • APO Tables for DP forecast Data

    Hi All,
    I am working in VMI scenario. An IDOC of type PROACT carries the
    forecast data for DP.
    I need to fetch the dates for which the Forecast data is already existing in the database.
    Can some one name the tables where the forecast data is stored.
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    If your Planning Area has a an export datasource that is connected to a remote cube, you can also access the contents of the Planning area using function module RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ. This uses the InfoProvider interface. There's a version of the function module that is RFC enabled as well.

  • Forecast dates instead for Basic dates in ECP

    Hello all,
    We want to use the forecast dates in the project instead for basic dates in easy cost planning, is that possible to do?
    In standard, ECP take the basic dates but it will be very usefull to use forecast dates in different CO-version as a forcast planning.
    Do not hesitate to contact me,
    Best regards
    Jose Marin

    Hi Abhra,
    You can check both basic and forcast dates WBS Elements in project planning Board at a time.
    as you said, you have to select both Basic and Forecast dates options in Set of Dates Icon. Before that while scheduling the entire project system will consider either Basic or Forecast dates at WBS Level and Carried out scheduling.
    If you did Scheduling with Basic Dates then you have to transfer Basic dates to Forecast dates in Planning Board through Edit --> Reconsile dates --> copy basic dates to forecast dates.
    if both Basic and Forecast dates are planning at WBS level, system shows you the Time Bars in different colour which you can check the corresponding colour matches with the specific dates through Legend.
    Hope you can understand the above solution..

  • Forecast Data

    Hi all,
    In PA we have at least one version of the Forecast each year. Typically Forecast 2 contains 6 months of Actual plus 6 months of Budget (all be it revised from the orginal plan).
    Has anyone come up with a smart way to use existing Actual data as Forecast Data for the first six months of the year.  We are considering copying Actual data and restamping it with Value Type = Plan and Version = 2 however this is a massive amount of data.
    Points to note: We have many different reports with many key figures, so creating a restricted key figure with time variables is a mammoth task.  i.e. One business unit will want to see Margin analysis by quarter (that's using over 18 key figures to derive margin) - another will want to see Sales analysis by month.
    We have considered using define cell but again the range of key figures needed and outputs of time columns are massive.
    Thanks for your suggestions,
    Regards
    Gill

    Hi,
    i think copying is indeed the best option... maybe is't a massive job, but it's only scheduled once a month...
    In integrated planning you have a standard function for it... but i don't think you're using IP...
