Forecast History reg

Hi Team
My forecast history loaded incorrectly, please let me know what could go wrong.
Thanks
Raj

Dude....
Is that all?
Your forecast history came from where? How did you try to load the history?
Why did you try to load the history? As far as I know, loading forecast history was never recommended. That may have changed, but I believe there is an Open Interface with which you can load.
Go back and check your API mapping and let us know.
Good luck,

Forecasting of a product

Hi
This is a general case ....
Suppose if i have a new product...say a "X" ..which is a new one , one of its type . Now i want to do a forecast for this product.
There is no history for this product , there is no old product which is similar to this one, also there is no competitor data available for this to do a forecast...
Which are the possible methods by which forecast can be done for this , or how can forecst be done for this ..Please help...
Regards
RK

Hi Rakesh,
For forecasting a product, historical data always helps to fix the exact
forecast.
In cases, if you dont have forecast history available, then you can choose
one of the following ways
1) Try with manual forecast based on intelligence based forecasting
2) Try using customer given forecast if available
3) Try generating own forecast values which matches budget and overall
sales figures
4) Try using similar products which were sold in the past and if you feel
that data will match somehow and then you make modifications in the
outcome generated
I suggest you can go far manual forecast based on the marketing advise
and customer needs in order to avoid pile up of inventory

How to call a query from the backing bean ?

Hi all,
Another question for you guys :
I made a jspx page with an input form and a submit button.
When I click the submit button, the action my_action in my backing bean is executed.
This is the code :
public BindingContainer getBindings() {
return BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
public String my_action() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("EmployeesView");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
I hoped that the query 'EmployeesView' was executed in this way, but I get the following exception :
java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.model.binding.FacesCtrlHierBinding cannot be cast to oracle.binding.OperationBinding
So how should I execute the query EmployeesView ?
Second part of the question : What if I typed the name an employee in my form, and I want to
execute a query that selects all the Employees with that name ?
How do I make a query with a variable as input in the WHERE clause ?
Thanks in advance.

I'm still trying all the stuff you guys says, but still no result.
This is my backing bean :
+// the button action+
+public String my_action() {+
+// get the selected rows from the multiselect table and store the objectid's in an String array+
RowKeySet rks = graph_table.getSelectedRowKeys();
Iterator itr = rks.iterator();
Object key;
int nbr_objects = 0 , i = 0;
if (rks.size()>0) nbr_objects = rks.size();
+String[] objectid = new String[nbr_objects];+
while(itr.hasNext())
+{+
key = itr.next();
graph_table.setRowKey(key);
Object o = graph_table.getRowData();
JUCtrlHierNodeBinding rowData = (JUCtrlHierNodeBinding) o;
Row row = rowData.getRow();
+objectid[i] = row.getAttribute("Objectid").toString();+
i+;+
+}+
+// now get all the x and y values for these objectid's from the database out of the table history.+
BindingContainer bc = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
for (int j=0 ; j<nbr_objects; j+){+
+// get X and Y values for object number j+
DataPoints history = new DataPoints();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bc.getOperationBinding("retrieveHistory"); ===> operationBinding stays NULL ???+
+operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("OBJECTID", objectid[j]);+
Object retVal = operationBinding.execute();
+// ==> retVal should contain a List of all X and Y values for the provided objectid.+
+// while (retVal has values)+
+// {+
+// List_of_x_values.add(retVal.valueX);+
+// List_of_y_values.add(retVal.valueY);+
+// }+
history.add(List_of_x_values);
history.add(List_of_y_values):
+// call the soap method to do some calculations+
methodname.forecast(history);
+}+
+}+
In my application module :
public void retrieveHistory(String objectid) {
getHistory().setWhereClause("OBJECTID = '" + objectid + "'");
System.out.println("current query : "+getHistory().getQuery());
getHistory().executeQuery();
public ViewObjectImpl getHistory() {+
return (ViewObjectImpl)findViewObject("History");+
The query for the VO History : SELECT * FROM HISTORY
Please anyone ?

APO DP - use of forecast strategy 60 (copy history)

I am using APO DP V5.
I need to understand how forecast strategy 60 (copy history) works.
Suppose I have a three year forecast horizon.
Can I use this to copy from last year's history into <u>each</u> of these 3 years?
Thanks,
Bob Austin, Atos Origin

Hi Bob.
The answer to your question is no. 12 months of history will only generate 12 months of forecast.
I would suggest that if this was a requirement then a macro could be used to generate such a forecast.
Hope this helps.

Demantra - history period to be considered for forecast ???

In the current system I have 5 years of history sales data - but for my forecast I need to consider data only for the last 3 years.
Are "history length" and "start date" are the only parameters which decide the history length or is there any other parameter also considered in deciding the length of history to be considered for forecast generation.
Appreciate your response.
thx and rgds,
Pankaj

Hi,
Check whether the following parameters fulfill your requirement.
StartAverage

How do I delete Statistical Forecasts for components that have no history

Hi
How do I delete Statistical Forecasts for components that have no historical data, but the Stat forecast model is still forecasting values for components.
Other than creating a macro to clear the key figure columns interactively in the planning book, where in the model or background job do I activate or set that components without 12 months historical data are not forecasted .i.e. zero values in forecast for these components?
Thanx
Keegan

Hi Keegan,
To my knowledge there is no standard way you can tell the system not to forecast if the last 12 periods are zeros.
We have the same issue and we use 3 methods to get around this:
1. A macro as you said
2. Create a phase out profile in life cycle profile with parameters, start date today to some 12/31/9999 and set the "Before start date, apply constant factor" 100% and "After start date, apply constant factor" 0%
and check the indicator " Life cycle planning " in master forecast profile.
This puts zeros for all future values but does not check if the history has zeros in it.
3. Delete unwanted CVCs so that we will not see any issues with disaggregation and junk data.

History Horizon in forecasting

Hi All,
I have given the 6 months duration for historical data in the forecast profile. We are also using fiscal variant here.
When I run the univariate forecast profile I see some forecasted data.my confusion is when I click the tab "Horizon" and there if I change the "from" field in history and after that I run the univariate forecast - it is not considering my changes.
The fiscal variant we are using is for 4-4-5 calendar.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Prabhat

There could be sevaral resons
1. Make sure you have selected the 'Period Intervels' radio button and not the 'Number of periods'.
2. Check if there is any data for the horizon you selcted
3. It may also depend on the forecast model that you chosen. For example constant model may show you the same results if the history data is same for the horizon you selected as that of preivious seclection. To test this select a different model and execute the forecast and check if the results have changed

Copy history as the forecast result

Hi Experts,
Has anyone ever use the forecast model that copying the past 12 months history as the future period forecast result in PP forecast model?
I know this function is availbale in APO DP, But I want to use this function in R3 not in APO.
thank you in advance!

Stat forecast got generated without any order demand history

Hello ,
I have a issue came in , where we are seing a Stat forecast got generated without any order demand history. Is there any forecast strategy avaialable which can cause it.
Any hint is appreciated.
Regards
Deven

Hi Deven,
may be due to some redundant data this issue is coming.
Just write a simple macro and Give ROW_INPUT (0) to your history keyfigure .This will zero out the data for your "History" keyfigure.
Again try to generate stat fcst see what is coming.
Hope this will resolve your query.Same is the case happen with me i tried the same thing which i mentioned here.

Change over from reorder planning to forecast -reg

Hi,
Currently we are using for some parts manual reorder point planning wth MRP type V1 and strategy 40
We require to change to forecast based planning where in we can change MRP type to VV and what strategy we have to put
any specific for forecast based planning
we use make to stock scenario only
as of now the requirements are calculated based on the customer orders and reorder point as per the current settings
we need the requirements calculation with past consumption values only then is it required to change the strategy to 10 from 40 ?

Reg : material master change history

Hi All.
I am changing the value of the material master characterstic assigned to class under the classification TAB of material master.
I want to extract the last chaged date of the characterstic value.
The material master change history ( Table CDHDR) is not reflecting the changes done to the characterstic value.
Can anybody please suggest me how can i extract the change history of the characterstic value of a given class for a given material.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi
If a field is changed in any transaction with a new values those changes are recorded in CDHDR and CDPOS tables with the field name, Transaction name and field old and new values, changed by and date etc
So you have to fetch the change data history from those tables passing the
OBJECT CLAS = MATERIAl and the Objectid = Material no and fetch the data from CDHDR first and then for all entries of CDHDR fetch the data from CDPOS and use the data and required fields

Reg: PO item History

Hi,
Could you tell me in which table Purchase Order Line items change history will be available..
Regards
Reddy

Hi Chandu,
You can get the PO changed line item text using CDHDR and CDPOS tables.
Use Object Class: CDHDR-OBJECTCLAS = 'EINKBELEG'
Object Id: CDHDR-OBJECTID ' 'Your PO number'.
And get the value of change no with the help of the above data. CDHDR-CHANGENR will provide you the change no for this PO.
You can find the changed line item text value from table CDPOS from the values found in above table CDHDR
Use Object Class, Object Id, Change No found above and apart from that use the field FNAME (in CDPOS) as TXZ01, and CHNGIND as 'U'. It will provide you the changed text as well as the old text..

Reg Forecast functions in Oracle

Hello Everybody,
Is there a forecast function in oracle that's equivelent to forecast function in MS Excel ?

Not sure about MS Excel, but Oracle has MODEL clause that can be used for projections.
Take a look into
"Example 2 Sales projection that fills in missing data"
at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14223/advbi.htm
Also I know that projections can be done in Oracle OLAP Option using OLAP DML.

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.
