Forecast Entry

We key the forecast in MC88 by month(we use this method from log in SAP, it's ok all the time), But we are not getting the same in MD62, there are some parts have the problem (From Mar, 2008, which never happen before. Y we are not getting in MD62 ?

hi
While transferring from SOP to DM, Check the version for which u r transferring and suppose now u r having plan in SOP for April is 100 but 20 days of this month has gone by, so u will get less plan in MD62 for the month of April
I am not 100% sure abt this , check and revert back

How to delete forecast entries with zero current and original qty from a particular forecast set which span across multiple forecasts

how to delete forecast entries with zero current and original qty from a particular forecast set which span across multiple forecasts

Hi,
There is no way to delete those records selectively from front end.
The best possible way is to delete the records from MRP_FORECAST_DATES tables from backend.
Hope that helps!!

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.

FORECAST QUANTITY

Hi
I am using Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2.
I am developing an interface for sending forecast details to some external system.
Here I want to send forecast quantity plus some other information. Forecast quantity is stored in the MRP_FORECAST_DATES table.
Here comes the problem. single record in this table corresponds to multiple forecast entries. A single record in this table is created with following column values.
FORECAST_DATE --forecast start date     26-APR-99
RATE_END_DATE --end date of the forecast       19-JULY-99
ORIGIONAL_FORECAST_QUANTITY --per bucket quantity    1000
CURRENT_FORECAST_QUANTITY --Remaining forecast quantity after consumption      1000
Now This record shows a total forecast quantity of 13000.
If I want to fetch data for specific date range for this entry then it will create problem.
Please give me some suggestion for fetching total quantity for desired period.

please make it more clear. put some example data as in a single record and multiple entries belonging to that particular entry.

Forecast Consumption Respect "quarter" Boundaries

Hi,
Can ASCP Forecast Consumption RESPECTS "Quarter" boundaries
Regards
Lokesh

Lokesh,
ASCP does nothave any specific feature to respect quarterly boundaries.
You can limit forecast cosnumption to a specific "bucket" (day, week, period) and by design if you forecast using one of those buckets (week, period), then any sales order within that time period will consume that forecast before going backward and foreward to consume other forecast entries.

Demantra forecast disappears intermittently from ASCP.

Demantra forecast disappears intermittently from ASCP. Need to run Upload local forecast workflow again and then the plan run to view the forecast again, Can anyone tell why is this happening?
However the forecast entries are not disappearing from the Denorm table.
Thanks
Somanath

if the data is available in denorm table, then some planning program is causing this issue. demantra worflow or forecast publish from demantra works fine.

Safety stock, forecasting doubts

Can anyone guide me on my doubts,
1) Safety stock : While describing safety stock in oracle, we are mentioning date and quantity. Take a example - item = xyz, Date = 01 Jan 2012, Qty = 10. is it means that 01 Jan 2011 onward, stock level of item xyz should be atleast 10. If it is less that 10 after 10 Jan, then suggest planned order from ASCP.. ?
2.1) I can see that we can manually mention safety stock, system will calculate safety stock. In case of manual, xyz item attribute should be 'Not MRP" Planned. I can mention item, date and qty for in safety stock form.
2.2) In case of system to calculate Safety stock, I have mentioned attribute value as " MRP planned", mentioned safety stock days as well. Here I have created a forecast and ran "Reload safety stocks" with method as "User defined %" with forecast created for SS calculation. Now I can see corresponding newly created SS in system.
Now I have ran data collection with calculate safety stock = Yes, and after than launched plan as well. But I am not able to see both type of safety stock in ASCP workbench. I will say, I am not able to see any safety stock demand in workbench in any one of organization. Like to inform you that while doing collection, I have selected all organizations which are enabled and also same was selected while launching plan.. so whats wrong and so not able to see any safety stock demand in system.
3) Forecasting: I can put forecasting at component instead of products level ( ie finished good). Now suppose, I have kept forecasting at component level, means I have mentioned component item, qty and due date in forecast form. Now ASCP will consider this as demand and drive material, may suggest planned order. Now same time, I have booked a SO, having a products, which requires that forecasted component to do assembly. As there is demand against forecast and demand for SO, will drive material and this will be duplication. So netting of forecast is must, which we can do through forecast consumption. Now in my scenario, I have mentioned forecast for child in forecast and SO is booked against finished item. Now my question is - is there any provision for component level consumption based on finished good SO.. ?
Let me know if anyone needs more clarity on above case,
Thanks and Regards,
Dipak

Thanks Partha your help. Following solution is working on MRP, but it seems that not working on ASCP. I am pasting process here, Here V is long LT item.
1) Define a planning bill forecast, consider FC00. This contains aggregated demand of V against a particular date.
2) We will explode forecast from FC00 to FC01, where you can see forecast against component of ‘planning bill item’ along with Qty and date. Qty will be derived from planning percentage mentioned in planning bill.
3) In order to convert these forecast demand in purchase order, we have to use a plan.. say ‘Small Plan’. Purpose of this plan is to consider ‘Forecast FC01’ only as demand ( ie do not consider any SO, On-hand etc for calculation ), and create a supply by release planned order. Here needs to run collection and also needs to mention demand schedule as ‘FC01’ in plan parameter.
4) Now all planned order as per forecast will be released and converted either requisition / PO. This may be firm / non firm.
5) Now define another Master plan, ( in order case, this plan will be global plan) which consider all supply and all demand sources. But ensure that we will not mention FC00 / FC01 forecast in this plan demand schedule. This plan will consider PO / requisition supply created via ‘Small Plan’, and will peg to actual SO. This will not peg to FC 01 as we have not attached this forecast to master plan demand schedule.
6) Now if SO dependent demand of V is less than PO qty, then master plan will suggest to raise PO vice versa it will suggest to cancel / re-schedule in –out. We can filter such suggestion by exception / action / supplier name etc. So we will NOT do cancellation / reschedule out, but we will do re-schedule in if possible. This will ensure that we will have enough supply of V irrespective of SO demand.
From above, we can use planning bill as input for long LT items planning and output will purchase order in advance of SO, also consumption ( indirectly) of forecast can happen. If we will mention ‘include past due forecast = 0’ in planning parameter, then automatically past forecast will be excluded from planning.In addition, we can use master plan ‘supply-demand’ workbecnch output for monitering SO demand trend with forecast entry done by planner.
Now am checking on ASCP and believe that it will work in ASCP as well.
Thanks for support ,

Enter forecast

Hi,
We are not using DEMANTRA or Demand Planning. What is the best way to bring in forecasts into ASCP. Is there a place to manually enter?

Ritz,
Often the terms "make to order" and "make to stock" are used to refer to whether you want to stock items anticipating sales orders or only build to a specific sales order. Even in the latter case, you can prebuild subassemblies and purchase required materials in anticipation of sales orders (but not commit to a specific final assembly).
In the scenario you described, you have build wip and created purchase orders for forecasted demand. As long as that forecast exists, you will not see any cancel or excess exceptions in MRP or ASCP.
Two general suggestions:
1. There is an organization specific "include past due forecast" parameter in the planning parameters for ascp. Navigation: ASCP>Setup>Parameters. You can use this to automatically drop past due forecast that never materialized. This does not exist in MRP, so you would need to manually drop those forecast entries.
2. You can use the demand time fence item attribute, to create a point perhaps 20 days in the future that you want to automatically drop the forecast. That means that you would only build to sales order demand in the first 20 days. This is often used to drive forecast for material and subassemblies, but only build the final assemblies to true sales orders.

Kevin

Forecast Quantity Reduced to 0 by ASCP

Hi,
I'm running a Un-Constrained ASCP plan in 11.5.10 version.I have a forecast defined at Source for qty-300 in bucket-october-2010.I'm able to see this forecast entry in Collection workbench for 300 nos.
After running ASCP plan , the plan has shifted the sugg due date to plan start date.This is expected as the customer runs a customization to back-off the forecast date by Leadtimes.
But the qty is changed to 0 from 300.I'm not able to see any consumption details for this forecast entry.And even the 'Consumed Forecast' field in the PWB doesnot show any value , it is blank.But I have a SO , for qty-300 on the same date.if this SO has consumed the forecast , this should be visible in the consumption details.
Is there any other method to check the consumption in ASCP plan, other that the PWB-UI.
Even forecast expiration is not happening as it is a un-Constrained plan( ASCP userguide states that Forecast Expiration happens in a Optimized ECC plan , and again i dont see any value in the 'Expired Forecast' field in the PWB.
What are the other functionalities , that would reduce the Forecast qty.
Has anybody faced this similar issue earlier.
Thanks in Advance
Edited by: Bhubalan Mani on Aug 16, 2010 8:59 PM

Hi Partha,
Pls find the detrails below.
The Hook runs after Data collection and before Plan.SO the due date of the foreast is over written in the collected data.
In source the Due date of the forecast was in October'10.Due to the Intransit LT of 42 days , the due date was pulled in to August-10.
And the MRP parameters,
Include MDS Days
Include Past Due Forecast ,
both are blank.If its blank , what i understand is, there is no restriction to the Past Due forecast that is considered in the plan.
Please let me know , If You need any additional information.
Thanks

Setting up the Calendar

The problem i am facing is with the"Create a Cash Forecast template" function of the "Cash Management" Module in the Oracle 11i E-business suite.
In the "Forecast Entries" screen, i am unable to enter the Forecast Date. By default, the date is set to 31 Dec. 2004. Even if i choose the current date from the calendar, it takes the default value of 31 Dec. 2004. I've tried going to calendar settings and assigning a calendar type to the organisation, but even that doesn't seem to help.
Please reply with your suggestions to: [email protected]
Thanks

to use the calender you have to download palm desktop ......... then you can save the files from palm desktop in the folder calender on the ipod

Period O in Horizontal Plan

Hello..
We have set our bucket types to be all periods, days=0, weeks=0, periods=18.
When pulling up a horizontal plan in ASCP, the first bucket is Period 0.. What is the purpose of Period 0, then following is the current date Period 1.. not all the information is listed in either one.
The Period 0 has the forecast entries but not the beginning on hand while Period 1 does not have the forecast and has the beginning on hand.
Please provide some insight on this .
Thanks,
Nadi

Nadi,
Period 0 is past due and will show past due forecast, sales orders, and supplies.
On hand inventory is always available today, so it is displayed in period 1.

Modification in forecasting data entry (t code - mc88)

Hi,
I have a requirement to freeze dates in transaction mc88 (Forecast maintaining) for previous dates and open dates for entry on specific dates in a month which cannot be modified once frozen. Is it feasible and if it is how much effort will be required.

hi,
You have to use flexible planning and your own planning type to control this. You cannot do this in standrad SOP MC88.

Issue in consumption of forecast for configurable material

Hi,
we have a issue in consumption of forecast by sales order for a configurable material.
Please find the below details for the settings maintained and the steps followed.
Please let me know how we can overcome this issue.
settings in R/3
1. Class and characterisitcs are created in R/3
2. standard material was created and class assigned
3. planning strategy used is 56
4. material, class, characteristics,ATP check, ATP customizing , sales order were integrated to APO
Settings in APO
1. CBF table, CBF profile, Consumption group were created in APO
2. Consumption group is attached to the product master
following steps were followed.
1. Forecast was created in DP for a certain characterstics ansd relaesed to SNP/PPDS
2. forcast is visible in product view
3. sales order was created in R/3
4. slaes order is visible in APO but it is not consuming the foreacast for the same set of characteristics.
Please let me know how we can overcome this..are we missing any customization ...?
Thanks
Ram

Hi Srinivas,
thanks for your response.
The forecast consumption problem was solved after correcting the entries in requirement strategy.
have one more query.
when the sales order for a configurable material is transferred from R/3 to APO, we should be able to see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" in APO product view.(when we click on the green triangle representing the configuration).
However, we could see the values under "descriptive characteristics tab" for some of the characterisitcs and not for other characteristics.
we tried comparing the characteristics but could not figure out the reason.
any pointers / clues to come over this issue would be helpful.
thanks
Ram
