APO in AFS Industry

Good Day Gurus!
May I know if APO supports the Apparel and Footwear Industry? Thanks!

Hi
Yes.APO Supports AFS Industry Too.
The SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) application enables companies in the apparel and footwear industry to anticipate consumer behavior (including the impact of promotions) and forecast demand more accurately. The SAP SCM application combines distribution and transportation functionalities to support demand-driven replenishment for maximum profitability.Retailers and carriers can be seamlessly integrated into the supply chain processes.

Forecasting value problem

In forecasting (J3A1), whenever I have a month or week where the forecast value is "0" (if the material has yet to hit store shelves), SAP will automatically move the next value forecast up in place of the 0. So if July has a forecast of 0 and August has 20, then July will automatically become 20.
How do I fix this issue?

Dear Cameron,
i presume you are working on AFS
Forecasting is not supported in AFS

AFS sale order - arun report

Hi!
I need report similar to /AFS/MD04 AFS stock req list but for all material of one sale order on onew screen.
User want to see statuses for allpositions of order at one time to make decision about delivery.
any standart report?
Andrey Garshin.

Hi Andrey,
I don't see a benefit from seeing statuses in a sales order.
/AFS/MD04 is a stock/requirements list for the MRP conroller.
It does a complete different calculation than ARUN or ATP.
It will not help you to determine what can delivered.
You can have orders in B status and still be able to allocate and deliver it.
So explain your business requirements. What do you want to see?
Best Regards,
Markus

About selecting Scheduling Agreement and Forecast delivery schedule

Hi Experts,
i want to write a Report, with 2 parameters for the selection : Sold-to-party and Period
For this Sold-to-party/Period, I want to list all scheduling agreement + Forecast delivery schedule.
I already found the Function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN to read all Forecast delivery schedule lines using Sales Doc.No. , but how can I select all Scheduling Agreement for the Period ?
Regards,
David

Solution:
by selecting data from table VEPVG (Delivery Due Index) and using function SD_VBEP_READ_WITH_VBELN for each SD Document.

Can Demantra Forecast at a National level?

Good afternoon Forum,
I posted a thread about a month ago and am back again to hear some more good advice and information. I work in a business group which supplies spare parts nationally through regional distribution centers for a large industrial equipment installed base. Despite me being against this, our management has decided to use Demantra to forecast parts usage at the National level and then force down to the regional distribution centers to take a percentage of parts based on past percentage of the total, rather than roll up the individual regional forecasts to create a total.
My question is can Demantra be set to do this? What would it take? Besides being less accurate at a regional level, what other drawbacks are there?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Best regards,
ABoyNamedJoe

Hi Maggie,
To solve the proble, I think the best way is to create something like dummy entity, which is usually called adjustment entity as Alwin mentions.
Please remember not making any child entity of the adjustment entity. Otherwise, the adjustment entity won't be base-level member anymore, and you can not post data.
Hope it helps.

Change of Item Categoy in Sales Order - AFS

Hi Gurus,
I am working on AFS. In the sales order for which delivery has not been created, system is not allowing to change the item category. From TAN to TAQ.
I have maintained the Manual item category in VOV4. Still the item category field in sales order is in grey mode.
Please let me now how to make it editable.
Regards,
Naren Dev

Hi Naren,
Can you please check if that item has any associated Purchase Requisitions?
Standars SAP does allow change of item category if alternative item categories are configured and subsequent document are not yet created.
Thank you

Creation of forecast delivery in Sceduling agreement

Hi experts,
I would like to know if it is possible to create a forecast delivery line in scheduling agreement using IDOCs. The scheduling agreement is already existing but it has no forecast delivery line. If it is possible, kindly give me the basic type, message type and the fields to be populated with what data.
Thanks in advance,
Lalyn

The actual scenarois is this:
I am getting AUFNR(prodcutoin order),LGNUM(whs number) ....etc from XI system. I hav to use this data and have to create an Inbound delivery from expected GR in EWM and POST GR in EWM and Creation of Whs task in EWM again.
The transaction to create the inbound delivery from expected GR is /SCWM/GRPI (GR Preparation: From Production).
we do not have any BAPI or FM in EWM to acheive this. Pleas help me in resolving the issue.

Can't See Historical Forecast in SPP

Hi
We have loaded the sales order data using a flat file.We were able to load the data into the cube 9ADEMAND (but not into the ODS 9ARAWDAT).
We are also able to see the demand data in the forecasting planning book and even forecast is also getting generated.
The problems which we are facing are
1. Standard Deviation of Demand, MAD etc are all 0.
2. Not able to see Historical Forecast ( tcode /SAPAPO/SPPFCSTTARK) . The error message says " No historical forecast time series can be determined".
Can anybody tell us what could be the problem ?
Thanks in Advance
Mitesh

We are having a similar issue, could you provide the configuration done to the planning profile for recalculation of historical forecast?

PP - No data in Field J_3ARESM (reserved qty) of 2lis_02_pabdsi(AFS based)

Hi,
I have loaded data for the AFS based datasource 2LIS_AF_PABDSI of PP. But there is no data in the field -
J_3ARESM(reserved quantity) - only showing 0,000. Used RSA3 transaction to extract data.
I checked it after filling up the setup tables. Data is present for all other fields.
Using MB25 transaction, when I give a particular production order - it has reservation data.
But, no data is present for Reservation Quantity in 2LIS_AF_PABDSI.
Thanks & Regards

J_3ARESM- ZJ_3ARESM(AFS Fixed reserved quantity)
Hope its help.

End Routine to populate custom AFS field for Billing Item extractor

I have the following scenario for Billing 2LIS_13_VDITM datasource
Doc_No   Item Material    Item_Categ   AFS_field
2000        11     XYZ          123
2000        12     XYZ          123                  US1
3000        11     PQR          456
3000        12     PQR          456                  CA1
I need to populate the AFS_field in the first row also for all Doc Nos for certain Item categories (eg 123 & 456). I need to do this on the first transformation from PSA to DSO. I was planning to write a SELECT statement in the Start Routine with the PSA table as the reference as seen below and then write an End Routine calling this reference table. But the PSA table name is different in Dev, QA and Prod so I cannot use this.
TYPES: BEGIN OF S_AFS,
VBELN TYPE C LENGTH 10,
PSTYV TYPE C LENGTH 4,
MATNR TYPE C LENGTH 18,
J_4KRCAT TYPE C LENGTH 16,
J_4KSCAT TYPE C LENGTH 16,
END OF S_AFS.
DATA: LT_AFS TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF S_AFS,
      LS_AFS TYPE S_AFS.
DATA: LT_DATA TYPE tyt_SC_1.
LT_DATA[] = SOURCE_PACKAGE[].
SORT LT_DATA DESCENDING BY VBELN MATNR J_4KRCAT.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM LT_DATA COMPARING VBELN MATNR.
SELECT VBELN MATNR J_4KRCAT J_4KSCAT
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE LT_AFS
FROM /BIC/B0000777001
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN LT_DATA WHERE VBELN = LT_DATA-VBELN AND MATNR =
LT_DATA-MATNR.
SORT LT_AFS BY VBELN MATNR.
I am not an expert in writing ABAP code. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and points will be assigned. Thank you.

Hi
why do want to select the data from PSA table ?Already your trying to load data from PSA to DSO.
you want to populate the AFS field value in DSO right?
1. First you have to add AFS field in ur DSO
2. Write the Start routine based on ur scenario(select the data based on ur scenario and put into internal table).
3. wirte AFS field leval transfer routine(Read the corresponding record based on docu num,item num) pass into RESULT.

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
