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.

Forecast profile not selected by forecast job

Hi Experts,
I am wondering why forecast job in background does not select the forecast profile, which I have assigned in interactive planning. It always takes the job profile even though in activity definition the checkbox (Always use job profile) is unchecked!?
My other question addresses assignment of CVC's to forecast profiles: for a specific CVC is there a way to figure out in which forecast profiles this CVC is included? Checking this in TX /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 is very time consuming.
Many thanks for your support
Aban

Partner profile not maintained error while testing inbound processing

Hi gurus,
I am trying to upload a customer master data using LSMW idoc method, I followed all the required steps and then I tried to test the inbound processing using T.code we19 and there i gave my basic type as debcor01 and I clicked on standard inbound test but it gives me an error which says partner profile is not maintained, but I have maintained the partner profile and assigned the same in LSMW. So anyone of you can please help me to solve this problem.
thanks,
Rajeev

Rajeev,
Check whether the Account Category is mantained properly or not.

Firefox does not start in MacOS in 10.6.7. For some reason I cannot create a new profile as recommended (error message Error: Platform version '1.9.2.16' is not compatible with minVersion = 1.9.2.17 maxVersion = 1.9.2.17) further help only for windows

tried to create new profile using Terminal but error message. cannot open in safe mode, instructions are only for windows All my bookmarks are in firefox

I had already tried a reinstall before, but thanks for the suggestion. Starting FF in Safe mode did not help either.
XULRunner is specific to FF. Mostly found discussion about using the code in web pages when I used Google before posting.
When FF went from version 3.6.14 to version 3.6.15 this issue started. Please note the Error message and the version info I just mentioned.
'''"Platform version '1.9.2.15' is not compatible with minVersion > =1.9.2.14 maxVersion < = 1.9.2.14"'''
'''The Platform was revved up from 1.9.2.14 to1.9.2.15'''
I could not find information on: minVersion or maxVersion much less how to change them in XULRunner.
'''''It is definitely a Mozilla FF issue'''''.
Avast sandbox is up to date and works just fine with everything else. More importantly it worked just before the update was installed.
The only reason I bothered with the update is because Mozilla touted it as a security issue and there was NO mention of any known issues with sandbox software.

Hi,
Check in WE20 if the partner profile is configured for the idoc type and the message type. That might be the cause of the error.
Also make sure the same partner profile details are sent to the control record. Partner profile details are stored in the table EDP13.
Hope this helps

ESS Record working time error "Profile not initialised" TS31000007

Hi,
This is with reference to approvals of Times in ESS . I have copied the task TS31000004 to my custom task. I have made a custom rule to determine the superior in the Z task i have created.
Wehn i try to assign the Z task created to the Data entry profile in the "with approval" section( *** use sap business workflow *** ) , it gives me an error "Profile not initialised" . If i remove the check box for "Use SAP Business workflow" and do not enter any task there, the record working time screen is shown in ESS.
Any idea why it is giving the "Profile not initalised" when i assign the workflow in data entry profile.
Your help is apprecaited.

Hi Haydn,
I have check the wokflow through CAT2 in SAP R3. When i save the CATS record, it send a workflow task to the superiror identified through by custom rule.
If i try it through front end ESS, the same is not working and is throwing "PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED" error.
I have down the following
1) Copy the standard task TS31000004 to ZTS31000004
2) Assigned it as general task, assigned the custom rule in Default rules for agen determination
3) Assigned the Task in Data entry profile, checked the box "Use SAP Business workflow" in data entry profile.
4) In Portal i have registered the UWL system, note i am not getting the ZTS31000004 in UWL xml file.
Do i need to ADD the new ZTS31000004 in SWFVISU and delete the standard TS31000004 provided and re-register system ?
also do i need to create the events in SWETYPV for this Tasks as they are not present there?
Your help is appreciated.

Mixed periodicities in a forecast are not allowed In Demand Planning

Hi All,
I am running forecast in background by defining activity and job in transaction /sapapo/mc8t and /sapapo/mc8d .
I am scheduling the job in transaction in /sapapo/mc8g.
Before scheduling the job i checked the job in transaction /sapapo/mc8i and this check is fine.
When I am running the job in background i am getting the following error message:
"Mixed periodicities in a forecast are not allowed".
This error I am getting in the spool of job in SM37 transaction.
I ran a copy key figure macro in the same planning book with the same view and it is having no problem.
In my planning book i am having only one dataview and with that dataview only i am scheduling the job.
The strange thing is that the forecast is running smoothly in interactive mode in same planning book,same data view with same forecast profile.
Did anybody face the same problem in the past?
I am using SAP SCM 7.0 version.
Thanks In Advance,
Mukesh Pandey

Hi,
I contacted SAP on the same and they suggested me exactly what was the problem.
I will try to explain the problem with an example here as that would be easy.
Say, My storage bucket profile is a custom week.
suppose i am doing forecast at custom week level.
my time bucket profile in the planning book is "2 years in months".
So here in the background job we are expecting from the system to first divide years in months and than months to custom weeks. Here we are referring to mixed pereodicities.
So the rule is your time bucket profile and the bucket of forecasting should be directly in proportion of storage bucket profile.
it should not be
Year-->month--
>week
it should be
Year-->week or year>month or month--
>week.
I hope i am clear.

Mukesh Pandey

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

Moving average forecast does not work correctly

Hello,
I have a forecast model with the strategy moving average 6 months. When I checked the forecast values in the planning book, I recognized that there is a mismatch with the calculation of the forecast:
There is a drift of 2 months when showing the values in the appendant buckets. The first bucket which is filled with forecast values (bucket: current month + 1) contains the moving average value from month - 8 until month - 2.
Example: forecast value for Feb 12 is calculated as follows:
(Nov 11 + Oct 11 + Sep 11 + Aug 11 + Jul 11 + Jun 11) / 6
It is the same procedure for all other following months.
The right calculation should be as follows:
(Jan 12 + Dez 11 + Nov 11 + Oct 11 + Sep 11 + Aug 11) / 6
I checked several settings in the activity and job creation and in the setting of the forecast profiles. I expected that an offset of 2 months is set, but there is nothing.
So, I do not know how to explain this system behaviour....
Hope anybody can help!
Thanks and kind regards
Heinz

Hello Heinz,
The only place to check is the forecast profile. Let me assume that you are not talking with reference to SPP. Also, that the period indicator in your master profile is Months. So, this would mean that you have maintained forecast profile as follows:
You need to cross-check that the offset in the section history horizon of the master profile should have value +1, since you are running the forecasting during January, and you want January history to be considered in average calculation. Periods in history horizon should be 6.
Similarly, in the forecast horizon in the master profile, you should have an offset of +1, since you are running the forecast in Jan, but you want the forecast to happen from the month of Feb onwards.
Also, check in the univariate profile tab that you are checking for the right KF for history values, when you look in the planning view.
There is nothing more to standard forecasting apart from few things like 'like profile' or 'phase-in, phase-out' profile. Other option for changes is some custom logic, but it doesn't seem that there is a need for it if calculation is for simple moving average.
So, if the above points don't explain your situation, then better to raise OSS for SAP, to see if there could be some bug.
Thanks - Pawan

Composite Forecast Profile

Hi,
     I tried to create Composite forecast profile. I got this error message when I tried to run it , "No suitable single profile is assigned to master profile." Not sure what happened. This is the steps that I did:
       1) Create Master Profile in forecast profile.
       2) Select "Composite Forecast" at the selection model and type in the name of Composite forecast profile.
       3) Go to Composite forecast tab and select my created univariate profiles.
       4) Assign weight to each univariate profile.
       5) Click "Save Single" profile button at the top.
       6) Click the clock icon (or F8) to adopt the change.
      Could anyone tell me what went wrong ? Thanks in advance for your help.
Paranee

Hi Paranee,
Did you check that your planning book had the check box composite forecast activated?
This could be the reason.
You can check this in transaction /SAPAPO/SDP8B
I hope this can help you.

Coverage profile and Forecast profile together

Dear all,
Can we use coverage profile and forecast profile together.What are the requirements for the same.
We are using coverage profile with following details
No. of periods=20
Type of period per length=1
Range of coverage in first period= 10
The forecast profile is set for
Historical periods=12
Initialisation period=2(Automatic,X)
Periods /season=12
Forecast periods=12
with different weighting groups.
But whenever forecasting is executed with some historical data for the 3 profiles it is giving same forecast values for all 3 profiles with different weighting groups.
Also the MRP type used here is a copy of the PD MRP type and not VV or VS.
Where can the problem lie?
Regards
Manisha

Dear
Coverage Profile and Forecast profile are two different subject !
If it is range of coverage profile , then The range of coverage profile contains the parameters for calculating the dynamic safety stock. This is a statistical calculation on the basis of average daily requirements.With the dynamic safety stock, you can determine a safety stock based on requirements and range of coverage. The dynamic safety stock adapts automatically to the changed requirements and is fully available for planning purposes. You can limit the quantities used in the calculation of the dynamic safety stock by defining maximum and minimum ranges of coverage. You can also limit the period of time by defining different time periods in which the range of coverage is valid.
I hope you are asking about saferty caverage profile,,here basicalli we are setting the system to see how the safety stock is to be covered and calculated.See the help link below and come back if required
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/f3/dbbb16b36111d1a6770000e83235d4/frameset.htm
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPLO/Dynamicsafetystock+calculation
Where as Forecasting Profile , please refer the below :
Profiles
One more query : Also the MRP type used here is a copy of the PD MRP type and not VV or VS.
I think you should use Forecast Base MRP type like VV rather PD.PD does not carry out any Forcasting Functionality .Please check wether you replicate PD from VV , then it is possible to execute Forecast specially Total Consumption set up in MRP type .
Hope this will be useful

Abhihash -
Your suggestion worked good, thanks! Thank you too Naga.
One more question please. I have grouped on {Asgnmnt.GroupName} for the different departments and have added this code to the details section and suppressed it to remove the duplicates...
Here's the code....{CallLog.CallID} = Next( {CallLog.CallID})
My question: Is this the best way/method to remove duplicates?
I also going to add a Summary to count the days for each group - should I use 'Count' or 'Distinct Count' to get an accurate count of the days?
Thx.

"file not found" error in VI Logger when running an imported VI Logger task

I'm having trouble getting all of my imported tasks to run in VI Logger.
I'm using VI Logger 2.0, with an SCXI-1100. The data acquisition tasks I import run fine. One of the VI Logger tasks I've imported runs OK, but the other one gives an error:
"Engine Error!
Error Code = 7
LabView: File not found. The file may have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the OS."
If I create a new VI Logger task, the new task works OK. And my 1st VI Logger task to be imported works OK. So I know my setup mostly works. But our company has never been able to figure out importing tasks very well, so I'm looking for help.
Question 1: What file is LabView looking for? I've checked my Export path and database path, and they are identical in both the working task and the non-working task.
Question 2: Where else might I look for the difference between the 2 VI Logger tasks? Neither task uses any weird characters in the name, both have analog input channels and calculated channels. And I've mixed and matched the data acquisition tasks with no change (the good VI Logger task will run with either data task, the bad VI Logger task won't run with either data task), so I'm pretty sure the problem is in the VI Logger task, and not the data task. I've also tried importing the 2nd task on its own, as a separate import function, but that gave the same error.
Thanks for the help in advance,
Jake

Hi Spex,
I can import the VI Logger task OK (from another PC running VI Logger 2.0), but I can't run the task. I've attached the file. The "1 channel" task runs OK. The "x-probe" task starts, takes 1 or 2 data points, then hangs for a few seconds, then pops up the "file not found" error. The data acquisition taks run OK, so I don't think they're the problem.
This file I've attached includes 2 good data tasks ("1 channel" and xprobe"), 1 good VI Logger task ("1 channel"), and my non-working VI Logger task ("x-probe", which works fine on the PC it was exported from).
I have also tried exporting the non-working VI Logger task on its own, and it still imports OK, but still doesn't run, and gives the same error.
Thanks,
Jake

Hi, Neeraj
The purchase order you are talking of, was it created before this changes were carried out? If so, this changes will not get effected. in this case create a New purchase order.
Even after this if the error exists then check the following:
1. The condition type should be a copy of VAT condition type.
2. The condition type should of category "Tax".
3. Check there is no conflict of condition records, try to maintain condition Record using the same acces as that of VAT.
4. Use the same Tax Code as that of VAT condition type.
Hope this will correct your problem.
Regards
