Forecast Profile by Users

Hello,
We have Forecast profiles that run as Batch jobs once in a month and there are other forecast profiles which users execute in the interactive planning.
I was wondering if any configuration can be made to prevent users from viewing Batch Run Forecast Profiles in the Interactive Planning.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
Sanju

If you have a Authorization team(or SAP security team) that helps a lot - just give them the object and the who(or what role) is to be assigned to what Forecast profile
but if you are a stand-alone consultant then try transaction PFCG
go to environment>Authorization objects> drill down to where this object is (or search).
There would be some help on authorizations that you can read to get an idea

  • APO DP - validation of correct forecast profile

    We are using APO DP V5.0.
    In interactive DP, we forecast at the level of 'product at customer'. For the 'product at customer' characteristic we have navigation attributes, such as 'history type' (eg EPOS, despatch)
    The 'history type' determines which key figure we use as history, and so we have forecast profiles which are relevant for the different history types.
    If a user assigns a forecast profile in interactive DP to a 'product at customer', we want to get the system to check that the forecast profile is actually valid for the relevant 'history type'. We have named the profiles carefully so that, for example, the first x characters of the profile name reflect the history type; so we could have validation logic saying 'if history type = EPOS, check that forecast profile starts with 'EPOS'.
    But how could this validation logic be triggered?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi Bob,
    Wow, what a brain bender!
    I think this would require some fairly serious ABAP...
    You can't get the value of an attribute interactively (via a macro function, for example using ACT_IOBJNM_VALUE()).  You would need a Function Module that could manipulate the Planning Object Structure to grab the attribute of the characteristic in question, based on the current selection. 
    The name of the forecast profile also can't be done with a standard APO macro function.  We had something similar where we wanted to get the name of the forecast strategy via a macro function, but we ended up needing to create a short Function Module in ABAP that could called as a User Exit Macro.  The trick with the Function Module is that you will need is to tell the system to get the GUID of the current selection, then use that to find the name of the Forecast Profile (field PRPFL) from the /SAPAPO/DP_FCST2 table. 
    Once you have that, you could tell the Function Module to pass just the first four letters ('EPOS') back to the planning book user exit macro so that you could then compare that with the attribute value.
    Probably you didn't need me to write this short functional spec, but it was a very interesting problem to consider.  Hopefully somebody else will read this and tell us a much simpler way to do it.

  • DP- Forecast Profile

    Hello SAPains,
    The user changed the CVC status of 126 CVC.
    How can user assign a similar forecast prolife to all CVC's. Can
    we add through SDP19?
    Please write back,
    Thank you.
    Regards
    Rahul Chitte

    Hi,
    As per my understanding of your problem you need to create a selection ID which includes the "126 CVCs" you mentioned. Then you can assign this selection ID to /sapapo/msdp_fcst2. Alternatively you can also accomplish the same using /sapapo/sdp94. You can also create multiple selection IDs encompassing the "126 CVCs" you mentioned and assign them individually to the forecast profile.
    The tx "sdp19" does not exist.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank You.
    Regards,

  • APO DP Forecast profile consistency check

    I am using APO DP V5.
    Has anyone any experience of using the 'forecast profile consistency check' pgm /sapapo/rmdp_fcst_prpfl_consis?
    What exactly does it do?
    Thanks,
    Bob Austin, Atos Origin

    Hello,
    This report /SAPAPO/RMDP_FCST_PRPFL_CONSIS is  consistency for forecast profiles
    While there is no need to schedule the report automatically at regular intervals, there are some special situations in which it can be very useful.
    When must this report be run?
    1. When you transport forecast profiles from a system A to a system B. In this case, you must convert the internal version indicator (Id).
    2. If you are having problems with the date display or if the system changes from the relative date specification to the absolute specification for no obvious reason.
    When should you run this report?
    1. If you are working with generated forecast profiles (user parameter /SAPAPO/FCST_GUIDS).
    2. If you are using a manual forecast.
    What exactly does this report do?
    1. The internal version ID is checked.
    2. Date fields are checked. Fields filled with 00000000 are initialized.
    3. Overall profiles without any single profiles are deleted.
    4. Generated forecast profiles that are no longer assigned to a selection are deleted.
    5. The assignment of forecast profiles to a selection is deleted if the forecast profile no longer exists.
    6. Parameters for the manual forecast are deleted for any forecast profiles that no longer exist.

  • Transporting the master forecast profile

    Hi,
    How could i transfer a master forecast profile other than /sapapo/tsobj..
    pls answer, vignesh

    Hi
    As far as I know I think we can only transport the forecast profiles via T-code  TSOBJ ,
    Otherwise you can create them manually on production system directly, if you have enough authorization on the system. In our case we treat these are softconfigs as business users also want to check the forecast profile and execute the forecasting.
    Thanks

  • No Master Forecast Profile Assigned.

    Hello SAPiens,
    While creating a Univariate Forecast, the message pop ups NO MASTER PROFILE ASSIGNED. in Interactive Planning,
    I have checked the assignment in SDP19, but system doesnot picks in while creating the Forecast for a particular CVC.
    Please help
    Thank you
    Regards
    Rahul Chitte

    make sure the entry for the CVC exists in /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 transaction. make sure the checkbox "All Related Selections" is checked as well since it has a positive impact on the user experience in DP screen.
    A good practice is to generate all the profiles by running strategy 56 in the background with the master profile.
    If you overtly want to run the forecast with a specific model, go to the menu bar before you hit the univariate button. Under Settings --> Forecast Profile --> pick up the master profile and then run the univariate.

  • APO DP - loading of selections and forecast profiles assigned to selections

    I am using APO DP V5.
    I am forecasting at a 'product at customer' level.
    I have a flat file containing the 'product at customer' combinations - of which there are several thousand - and the proposed forecast profile for each combination.
    Is there a good way for:
    1.  loading these combinations as a set of 'selection ids' into APO DP?
    2.  loading the set of 'selections assigned to forecast profiles'
    I note that the 'selections assigned to forecast profiles' are in table /sapapo/dp_fcst2, but this table includes the GUID for selection ids, so I assume the selection ids must be generated first.
    Thanks for any advice.
    Regards,
    Bob Austin

  • How is the forecast profile tied to the article master?

    Hello-
    I understand how to create a forecast profile, but I assume there is some way to assign that profile to articles or material groups, and I cannot figure that out.  If it is assigned, it will show on the article master in the right field, but it cannot be changed or maintained in the article master directly.  So, there must be another method to link/assign these outside of the article master.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks-
    Brady

    Hello-
    Thank you for the answer, I found it - I have a Retail system, so it is structured a bit differently, but the tab is ultimately there.
    Thanks again-

  • Mandatory/Default field for mrp/forecast profile mrp area

    Dear guru,
    In MM01/MM02 when i create a new mrp area for a material I want Mrp profile field and forecast profile field as mandatory field. Or as alternative solution purposed with a default.
    How can I do that ?

    Dear Murugesan ,
    in OMSR i make the mrp profile (MDMA-DISPR) and forecast profile (MDMA-PROPR)
    as required entries in the screen sequence.
    But when I create/change mrp area fields the system don’t consider as required these fields.
    Are you sure that the field selection for data screen is concerning also for mrp area fields ?
    Thanks.

  • Creating a New Forecasting profile for MRP

    Hi there,
    Please can somebody let me know how do I create a new Forecasting profile for MRP. 
    I want to see this in table MRPR once created.  (field PROPR).
    Kind Regards,

    Dear marelizen
    Use transactio code MP80.
    Creating a Profile  
    The information contained in this info object is relevant to the material master for industry and to the article master for retail. Retail customers are requested to substitute:
      article for material
      requirements planning for material requirements planning or MRP
    1. In the Material Master menu, choose Profile ® MRP profile or Forecast profile ® Create.
    The initial screen appears.
    2. Enter the name you want to give the profile.
    If you want to use an existing profile as a reference, enter its name under Copy from so that the system can copy its values to the new profile.
    3. Choose Selection screen.
    The selection screen appears. It shows all the fields that can be copied to the MRP or Forecasting screen in the material master record.
    4. Enter a profile description and select the fields you want the profile to contain, specifying whether each field is to be copied to the material master record as a fixed value or as a default value.
    It is not possible to select Fixed lot size and Maximum stock level in a single MRP profile. However, if you select Maximum stock level, you must also select Lot size (materials planning).5. Choose Data screen.
    MRP profile data is spread over two screens. To switch from one screen to the other, choose Data screen 1 or Data screen 2.
    When you access the data screen from the selection screen, the system checks whether the fields selected are allowed to appear in the same profile.
    The data screen appears, containing only the fields you selected on the selection screen. The fixed values and default values are displayed in different colors. All fixed values are required fields except where the field can also be left blank.
    If, in the forecast profile, you enter N or 0 as the forecast model, no forecast is made.
    Like forecast model N, if you enter forecast model 0 when maintaining a forecast profile, you will be unable to maintain any other field in the profile.
    Unlike forecast model N, forecast model 0 deletes any existing forecast values when you change the material. This ensures that these values are no longer included in materials planning.
    6. Enter the corresponding values and save the profile.
    If the system detects inconsistencies or errors, it asks you to change the fields selected on the selection screen and/or to correct the values. Otherwise, the initial screen appears, where you can begin to create another profile.
    warm regards

  • Forecast profile not calculating error

    Hi Guys,
    I am facing problem related to forecast profile. I created forecast profile using seasonal model (Not Master forecast profile). When back job run. It's try to run with seasonal model, but it's can't, so it's don't compute MAPE error. With out MAPE it's does not know that it need to go back to Master forecast profile (56 and MAPE) or not.
    So, I don't know why it not calculating MAPE? Do any one facing same kind of problem?

    MAPE error will be calculated regardless of strategy mainatained in profile. but make sure you have selected MAPE error calc method while creation of forecast profile.
    MAPE( mean aboslute persentage error) is the best method to analyse error even SAP recommended to use this method to get best results.
    regards
