  • How to get Forecast demand data from R/3?

    Hello,
    I am working on an xApp development project which interfaces with ERP.
    Does anyone know if there is a BAPI to extract forecast demand data for each customer/product combination in R/3? 
    Also, is there a BAPI to extract the total number of shipments from each site to each customer or some way to come up with actual demand for the current period. If there is one number that totals the unit shipments to each customer, that would be easiest. Otherwise, if there is a way to get the shipments and we process them that would work also.
    Is there a BAPI to create a Safety Stock for each site?  We are going to put the calculated safety stock values back into R/3.
    Thanks for your help.
    Brayden.

    Byaden,
    To upload the SAFETY STOCK into R/3 Im using the BAPI: StandardMaterial Method: SaveData and works fine.
    If you need detailed information write me to [email protected]

  • Manual update of Forecast/Demand and Stock data in SNC5.1

    Can we update the Stock in Hand at customer's place when we receive these values every monday by email?
    So after getting these figures on every monday we want to update it in SNC5.1 manually.
    Is it possible? If yes then how? What is the impact?
    Thx

    Hi,
    To generate Forecast go to transaction:/N/SCA/TSDMTEST
    enter as:
    Time series type: VMIP1
    Planning version:000
    Keyfigure:CORFCST
    Location:<Customer_location>
    Product:<product>
    Partner for third key:<Business partner Org of DC(ship from location)>
    From Date,to date and quantity
    and click on set.

  • CTM Forecast Demand (FC) and Stock (CC) supply

    Hi Gurus,
    We are testing a simple CTM scenario with FC as our Demand and CC as our stock.
    We have 2 plants and 1 product.
    Material Availability Date is our Demand Prioritization.  Both of our demands have the same Date - a month from the current date.
    We have Procurement Prioritization set up for both PPMs and Tlanes.
    My problem is this:
    At both the locations the Supply (CC) is less than the demand (FC).  When we run CTM, the first demand signal is taking the stock from the second location - even though there is demand at that location that needs the stock.  The first demand signal is not fulfilled and the second is not fulfilled, but we have an unnecessary Purchase Requisition created to partially fulfill the first demand.
    Shouldn't CTM ignore the second location as a source of supply since the location has demand against it's existing stock?  What can I do to prevent CTM from using stock at a location which has demand of it's own?
    thanks in advance,
    sarah

    Hello Dipankar,
    Thank you for your response.  I apologize for not answering sooner - I was testing ATP priroritization.
    We only have MBDAT as our demand prioritization.  I tested with ATP categories but was not able to resolve the issue.
    I have noticed that the issue only happens when there are PPMs assigned to the model.
    IE:
    Model A (all demands are for same date)
    LOC A supply 100 units of product X, supply of 30 units of product Z
    LOC B supply 100 units of product X, supply of 30 units of product Z
    LOC A demand 200 units of product X, demand of 40 units for product Z
    LOC B demand 200 units of product X, demand of 40 units for product Z
    Tlanes maintained between locations for Product X and Product Z
    NO PURCHASE REQS CREATED
    Model B (all demands are for same date)
    LOC A supply 100 units of product X, supply of 1000 units of product Z
    LOC B supply 100 units of product X, supply of 1000 units of product Z
    LOC A demand 200 units of product X, demand of 40 units for product Z
    LOC B demand 200 units of product X, demand of 40 units for product Z
    Tlanes maintained between locations for Product X.
    PPM maintained at LOC A to create Product Z (output) from Product X (input)
    PURCHASE REQ CREATED FOR PRODUCT X FROM LOC B TO LOC A.
    PLANNED ORDER CREATED FOR PRODUCT Y FROM PRODUCT X AT LOC A
    I am not able to figure out why the purchase requisition is created when LOC B has demand of its own.  I am not able to figure out why the purchase requisition is only created when PPMs are in the model.
    Best Regards,
    Sarah

  • Corrected demand forecast(   ???)

    hi
    Out of 3 demand types I could see   Customer demand(coming from sales orders) ,forecast demand (coming from DP),then what is corrected demand forecast(   ???)
    how does it arrive??  Is it  a aggregated value of first 2 demand types. plz lend a hand
    thanks

    Hi,
    This depends on how you want to use the 'safety stock' as a constraint while planning with optimizer. You should consider few things while you decide on the level of the safety stock as a planning  constraint. Like you should always maintain safety stock violation penalty cost is greater than the product storage cost. If you dont, then optimizer will not plan for your safety stock.
    The same way you can decide on whether you want safety stock violation as a hard or soft constraint by assigning some safety stock violation rule/cost.
    So, depending on the business and importance of maintaining a minimum stock level at your inventory you can prioritize your goal of maintaining a stock level at least at product's safety stock.
    Like you can prioritize safety stock as demand forecast. So, in case of supply shortage you can use safety stock to meet demands from the customer.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • DEMAND FORECAST

    Dear All,
    Please guide regarding demand forecsting in Consumption Based Planning in MM.
    Regards,
    Vikas

    Vikas,
    Technically, you don't forecast demand in consumption based forecasting, you forecast your future usage, based on past usage.  However, the end result is the same.
    Check out SAP online help.  Within the section about CBP, the forecasting stuff starts here:

  • No Deployment of Demand from Forecast

    We are using SCM 5.1 with CTM and deployment.  The business would like deployment to only convert STRs to STOs, when the demand the STR is fulfilling is from Sales Orders or Safety Stock for C category items.  If the demand is forecast at the shipping plant (DC) the STR should not be converted to an STO.  A and B category items should be deployed to forecast.  A complication is that a production plant could hold inventory of the C items, instead of transferring to a DC, so there will be quantities available to deploy for forecasted demand.
    Currently, our method is to restrict how early CTM can solve for C item forecast demand (there is a CTM run just for C item forecast with a max early of 2 days).    This along with deleting forecast doesnu2019t allow for a STR created by forecast to come into the Stock Transfer or Deployment horizon.  The issue is that this makes most of the forecast demand solve late, which with our business rules requires the planner to review and pushes the capacity allocation to be in the following month.  The periods are different because C items forecast are small and therefore posted to the end of the month.  Letting CTM solve earlier (it used to be 30 days) allows for production to be smoother, but it allows STR fulfilling forecast demand rolls into the deployment and stock transfer horizon.
    Please let me know if there are any ways to achieve an automated way of getting deployment to work in this method.
    William
    Points will be awarded.

    I'm not a CTM expert, but it seems like this issue could potentially be resolved by creating separate data view which does not include forecast.  Then, run deployment for C items on the other data view while still using your "main" data view for all other background processing. 
    I could be missing the point but oftentimes creating separate data views is the best way to achieve disjunctive functionality.  This is assuming you have some selection profile you can create which contains only the C items you mentioned above (and not A and B).  If not I'd suggest utilizing freely definable attributes to achieve this (freely definable attributes auto-populate selection criteria).

  • Report for Pegging for  forecast and sales order consumption(pegging)

    Hi ,
    Plaese help to create a report for the below
    Requirement is there to have a showing Forecast (Number) and Sales order (Number) pegging Report
    Means like to which forecast number the sales order number is consumed
    Regards

    I have tested this on ASCP and I am agree with you. I am pasting one para from document...
    "Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning calculates the ATP quantity of an item for each day of planned production by adding planned production during the period (planned orders and scheduled receipts) to the quantity on hand, and then subtracting all committed demand for the period (sales orders, component demand from planned orders, discrete jobs, and repetitive schedules).
    Note: Committed demand does not include forecasted demand or manually entered master demand schedule entries. Also, the amount available during each period is not cumulative. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Supply Chain Planning does not consider ATP quantities from prior periods as supply in future periods. "

  • MDS and forecast spreading

    Hi Folks,
    Is is possible to spread the forecast in ASCP when the demand source is an MDS with forecast entries.
    If I use the forecast set as the demand source in the plan, forecast spreading works correctly. However when I use my MDS which uses the same forecast as a source and consume sales orders, the ASCP plan does not spread the forecast quantities.
    Many Thanks.

    Abhishek,
    That is the correct Global Order Promising behavior. Forecast demand will be ignored in your Available To Promise (ATP) results. The intent is to show current sales order demands and the amount of supply that is available to promise to new sales orders. Your forecast is intended to drive these supplies until those sales orders are entered.

  • Forecasting the need of spare parts in Demantra

    Hello everyone,
    I would really appreciate if anyone who's had dealt with the following issue help us,
    The thing is - we want to forecast 3 different kind of items:
    1. Main items we sell - for examples - machines.
    2. Accessories for machines we sell. A certian accessory can be used with several type of machines. (Cables, Batteries etc.)
    3. Spare parts we need to keep in stock in order to provide repair services for our customers.
    Each machine we sell has a different set of spare parts used when repairing.
    The forecast for machines is a typical demantra model forecast.(sales forecast by the book).
    My question is regarding the forecast for the spare parts we need for repairs.
    We know that demand for a certain spare part is influenced by how many machines which use that part were sold to customers.
    Also - it depends how common is the use of that part when fixing those machines that need service.
    (some parts get broken more frequently etc).
    Also since we provide fixed price insurance for customers, they dont "see" spare parts price as a factor.
    (they dont naturally "buy" the parts).
    How can demantra tie the forecast for the spare part to sales history of machines? Can demantra forecast service ?(which behaves alot different than sales). It is obvious that forecasting demand for spare parts with looking only at each part's history will not provide best forecast results.
    Any insights anyone?
    I'm pretty sure most implementations faced that issue - regarding the forecast of parts for service -
    Would appreciate any reply,
    Thanks alot,
    Aaron.
    Edited by: user10894682 on 07:30 05/02/2009

    Hi Aaron,
    Per my understanding,you sell machines as well as their accessories.So forecasting for them is by the book where you would be using the demand for machine as well as for accessories..
    As far as the service parts' forecasting is concerned, Oracle has a seperate module for Service & Spare parts planning based on Demantra's forecasting engine.
    Spare Parts Planning(SPP) has the following features:
    1. Forecast accurately with built in Demantra's Forecasting engine
    2. Replenish spares based on Single plan model
    3. Distribute spares using SPP's plan
    4. One single UI to carry out all 3 above processes for improved productivity
    5. Forecasting based on Shipments, Spares Usage, and Returns
    6. Plan based on Service parts failure rates calculations
    7. Integrated with various APS modules like Demantra DM, CP, IO, and ASCP.
    From demantra's perspective you may try out the following:
    Since you provide fixed price insurance for customers,you would definitely be keeping track of the service provided like what spare was replaced and probably how many of the same spare have been replaced for a particular customer over a period of time. Also as per the insurance you must have specified that a particular spare would be replaced only x number of times within a span of say 6 months or 12 months.
    You may utilize these information to classify the spares based on the frequency of use viz. very frequent, medium frequent and less frequent and associate some factor to it.You can club this information as well as the spare parts demand coming out of the BOM (bill of material) of the machine along with each part's history and come up with a forecast that can be more relied upon.
    I hope this helps.

  • Demand and receipts

    hi
    in SAP parlance we frequently come across two words Demands  and Receipts
    list of all demands as for as i know are  are  customer demand ,sales order demand,demand from MD61 (pir),demand created from planning book .would you please list out all demands relevant to SCM you have come across so far?.
    receipts are planned orders emerging from IHP,(inhouse production ),PR (procurement proposals) this is as far as i know
    would you please list out all demands and receipts under the umbrella of SAP that you have come across in your practical working business environment  .cpz your answer will remove my confusion
    i understand my questions would be silly to you ,but your inputs will help me gain a mastery over SCM ...if you look at SNP optimizer SDP94 screen you will find many demand items and receipt items  followed by total demand and total receipts-where are they emerging from i could see there is one "distribution demand (planned )  and distribution demand(confirmed) ,where it is emerginfg from.....am a bit perplexed about this demand and receipt theory.
    please clear my confusion.....

    Rahul
    Demand & Receipt Elements are MRP Elements in ECC and those map to ATP Categories in APO. To see the entire list of ATP Categories use configuration /SAPAPO/ATPC03. There you can see 4 types of Categories - Requirements (Demand), Receipts (Supply), Forecast (Demand) and Stock (Supply).
    Any data in Order Live Cache (typically interfaced from ECC using CIF but could also be loaded from external systems) must have an ATP Category identifying the specific element. It is useful to differentiate planned elements - planned orders, etc from firm elements - sales orders, deliveries, production orders, etc. Usually (but not always) planned elements are managed (created/ modified) by APO but firm elements are not changed by APO planning.
    SNP Planning books display this data by assigning ATP Category Groups (defined in transaction /SAPAPO/SNPCG) to Key Figures during Planning Area definition. Check definition of SAP delivered Planning Area such as 9ASNP02 to see how key figures are mapped to ATP Category Groups.
    I would suggest getting your APO basics clarified by reading a introductory book like "Supply Chain Management with SAP APO"  By Jörg Thomas Dickersbach.

  • 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

  • Create manual demand in planning book

    Please, can someone tell me how to create manual demand in the interactive planning book. Thanks!!!

    Hi David,
    Follow the below steps to enter manual demand in planning book.
    1) Use transaction /sapapo/sdp94
    2) Either you can use selection window or selection profile to load your data(product location combination in a version) for uploading demand.
    3) In selection window, select the product, location and version and enter
    4) Once your selected items are seen, double click on the location product combination for which demand needs to entered.
    5) The data will get populated into the planning book
    6) Meanwhile, select your planning book and data view which contains the relevant key figure for which manual demand needs to be entered (say like forecast, demand, dependent demand etc.,) 
    7) Goto change mode
    8) Then enter the suitable demand values in the key figures in the planning book
    9)  Once the data are entered, save the changes.
