Forecast not released from DP to SNP on first day of the release horizon

Dear Experts,
We are releasing forecast from DP to SNP every week on Saturday. We also have maintained daily bucket profile to release it in days for first 180 days.
Now the problem is occurs when the background job for DP to SNP forecast release happens on Satruday. For ex. if on Sat 31st Jan 2015, the job runs, it should release the requirements from Mon i.e 2nd Feb, but it is releasing starting from 3rd Feb and it is skipping Monday.
If we do it manually, then it works correctly. Hence I assume the master data, period split profile is correctly maintained.
Even the calendar has 2nd Feb as working day.
Please let me know if any one of you has ever encountered such issue and any pointers would certainly help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Maybe your program is executed using a different variant.
In your case, considering that when you test the release manually it works ok, I would check the variant used in your job.
Go to SM37, identify the background job that was executed on Saturday. Select the job and press Steps. You will see 1 or more programs and variants. Select the line corresponding to the release program, go to the main menu --> Goto --> Variant. Check the starting date.. it should be Feb 2nd.
Kind Regards,

Negative forecast release to snp

Hi,
we have a requirement to be able to release negative forecast values from dp to snp, i tried this out using the standard transaction sapapo/mc90 but whenever i release negative forecast values it zeroes it out in snp. Though we get a message that negative forecast values zeroed out.
Is it possible to release negative forecast values to dp, if yes how?
Thanks

As far as i know, You cant release negative forecasts into SNP by MC92
This converts the Time series to Order Series Data. There cant be a negative Forecast in SNP . Forecast is already a negative requirement. So a negative forecast is the equivalent of a reciept
Why do you need negative forecast in SNP. If its for display purposes use TSCOPY and copy to a time series KF in SNP planning area.
Else, using some mechanism, Filter out the Negative forecasts and make it absolute values and pass it on to SNP as Planned orders instead of Forecasts (you can change the order type when you release forecast from FA to something that is planned orders) you can pass the non-negative as forecast.

Distribution Profile / Customer Specific Forecast Release

Hello All,
I have a small question about the distribution profiles in Demand Planning. We use MRP and VMI scenarios.
1. While using VMI, we release forecast from DP to SNP using a distribution profile for each location. We get the percentages based on the quarterly reports on what was actually shipped to the customer and we manually enter the percentage every three months.
Our planners do this manually for the locations today since we only have a bunch of customers through VMI.
2. For the rest of the customers, we use DP and MRP. We release the forecast to ECC using a distribution function that would equally divide the PIR by the total number of days and we see that in MDO4.
The concern now is that instead of dividing the forecast equally by the day, can we divide it by the percentages of forecast consumed by the customer like we do for VMI?
If so, rather than the planner entering the numbers in the distribution profile manually, is there an automated way such as an exit that would actomatically calcuate the percentage consumed by a specific location and update them in the distribution profile automatically. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Rohit.

Hello Rohit,
You will need these BAdis -
BAdi Name : /SAPAPO/SDP_RELSPLIT
Description: Change period split profile when DP released to SNP.
BAdi Name - /SAPAPO/SDP_RELDATA
Description - Modification of Data During Release from DP to SNP - Orders
You can fetch Period Split Profile value from Freely-Definable Attribute(like AT101) Product-Location Master (Table Name : /SAPAPO/MATLOC) to use during Forecast Release process. is added in /SAPAPO/MATLOC table.
You can create commonly used pattern using distribution functions and mapped those to different Period Split profiles. Also you can map these PSPs to some kind of numeric digits/text to easily identify/remember period split profile names uniquely. These numeric digits can be set into Product-Location Master by either users or by using custom program.
This is just an idea, please think, you may improvise further to make it more purposeful for your scenario.
Example : Common distribution functions -
Month - 4 X 4 - 25% split into 4 Week on the Month
Month - 1F X 1 - 100% on 1st day of the Month
Month - 1L X 1 - 100% on last day of the month
Month - 2 X 4 - 50% split into 2nd and 3rd week of the Month and so on and so forth
Hope this will help.
Thank you

Error logs in job releases forecast from DP to SNP-"Matl does not exist"

Hi Everyone,
I am facing error logs in the batch job which releases forecast from DP to SNP
Forecast release job - Weekly - Through background job
Forecast category - FA
Error 1: - Characteristic combination appears on batch job log with an error that
"GMC does not exist " Even though it exist in R/3 and APO
All products with error message "Product does not exist" from do exist and have Forecast in Product View
Error 2: - Deleted KCC keep showing up on the Demand Forecast release job log as errors even though they are invalid KCC and were deleted previously. How do they get removed from error log so they don't get created again
Material does not exist on the APO Product Master, in R3 there is a delete flag and the MRP type is set to X1 ,it does not exist in the APO Product Master and does not exist in R3.
Request you to kindly provide any way forward which may be causing error logs of the job
Thanks in advance,
Mrigendra Sharma

Hi Mrigendra,
Please re-initialize the SNP planning area (program : /SAPAPO/TS_PAREA_INITIALIZE) and then check the consistency by executing the program: /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_CONS_CHECK. If you observe any inconsistency in the log/spool, then re-run the program: /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_CONS_CHECK to observe all green.
It is recommended to run the consistency program after any master data change. The initialization program should be run at least weekly.
Try transfering the data again from DP to SNP to see if the error reappear.
Hope this helps.

Nawanit

Release Of Forecast From DP To SNP (For Some Locations, Only Baseline)

Dear All,
Generally, we follow the following procedure....In the month begining, we generate the baseline forecast for all the locations (we are having around 20 branches). Then we used to open the DP planning book for a couple of days to our branch persons so that they are able to feed their correction. After which we release the final forecast i.e. Baseline Forecast +/- Branch correction to SNP for further proceesing.
This month, we opened the planning book (as usual). Branches did the branch correction. But on final checking, we found that around 4 - 5 branches have done corrections / updations very vagely i.e. roughly. So, we wants to ignore their branch correction.
My query be that is it possible that while releasing the Forecast from DP to SNP... can we release baseline forecast for selective five branches and for the rest of the branches, we wants to release final forecast key figure i.e. Baseline +/- Branch correction.
Kindly advise further.
With Best Regards,

You have not mentioned at what level you are doing the forecasting. If forecasting is done at material- branch level then what you are asking can be achieved easily. All you have to do is go to /n/sapapo/mc90 ( or create a release profile) and for the branches for which you want to release baseline forecast , you have to specify the baseline forecast keyfigure in the input and specify the material branches in the i/p criteria. For adjusted forecast you have to use another variant and specify the adjusted forecast key figure and the corresponding material branches.
Iam not sure how your requirement can be achieved in case you are forecasting @ material level.
Thanks

Could not release my own Key Figure from DP to SNP

Hi SAP Experts,
As requirement, I have to run forecast for three Key Figures in Demand Planning (DP): Z_FK1, Z_KFK2, Z_FK3. Unit of measure of these Keyfigure are VND (currency Viet Nam Dong).
I added these Key Figures to DP Planning Area with name Z_DPPlan01.
I created a new Planning Area in SNP with name: Z_9ASNP02 by coppying from the standard 9ASNP02. Then I added the above Key Figures (Z_FK1, Z_KFK2, Z_FK3) into Z_9ASNP02 planning area.
After I runing forecast in DP, I tried to release value of three Key Figures into SNP with tcode: /n/sapapo/mc90. Although system informs that u201CRelease successfully executedu201D, nothing released from Z_DPPlan01 to Z_9ASNP02 when I check in SNP Planning book.
Question is:
How to configure Key Figures in SNP and DP (Sematic, Key Figure Function, Category, Category Groupu2026) so that we can release all three above Key Figures from DP to SNP?
Thanks very much for your help!

Dear Pawan,
2 . The business requirements are:
Our customer is a bank that has many branches. They want to forecast for each branches:
- The Total money (all denominations) will be issued in next quater (Z_KF1). This base on historical data (Z_HIS1)
- The total money (all denominations)will be received in next quater (Z_KF2). This base on historical data (Z_HIS2)
Base on these forecast KFs, we need to calculate the Average of Total money will be received and Issued in next quarter (Z_KF3 = (Z_KF1+ZKF2)/90.
90 is the number of days in a Quarter.
We need to release the three KFs from DP to SNP for further calculation and reporting. As said previously, I added three time series KFs Z_KF1, Z_KF2, Z_KF3 to SNP Planning Area (Z_9ASNP02)
If could not release, we can coppy. But the problem is that: in DP, beside standard characteristics 9AMATNR and 9ALOCNO, we also added more custom characteristics like Z_TYPE (to generate CVCs and to drill down money by type (cotton, polymer, coin)). So when I run the Tcode /n/sapapo/tscopy, despite of the fact that in u201CCharacteristic Assignmentu201D I only assigned 9AMATNR and 9ALOCNO from source to target, system show message like:
3 combinations not contained in target master planning object structure
Message no. /SAPAPO/MSDP_REL108
Diagnosis
Characteristic combinations exist in the source planning area's master planning object structure that are not contained within the master planning object structure of the target planning area.
System Response
The source data of these characteristic combinations is not written to to the target planning area.
So, How to copy with my case?
4.Please Explain more about:
u201CCreate a third custom category group containing your custom category, and add this under 9AMALO. Give only your category group name & Semantic should be 000u201D
4.1.I can creat a custom category group under menu path:
SAP Reference IMG u2192 Advanced Planning and Optimization u2192 Supply Chain Planning u2192 Supply Network Planning
u2192 Basic Settings u2192 Maintain Category Groups.
But where can I create my custome category? Is this menu path:
SAP Reference IMG u2192 Advanced Planning and Optimization u2192 Global Available-to-promise (Global ATP) u2192 General Settings u2192 Maintain Category
In this path, I can see to folder:
-u201CSAP categoriesu201D: We could not create new category in this folder
- and u201Cnon-SAP Categoriesu201D: I can press button u201CNew Entriesu201D and key in Data like:
oCategory: TT
oCategory text: TT
oCategory Description: TT
oSort String: 99
oCategory type: Requirements (I also tried with Forecast, Stock, Receipt)
And then, press u201CSaveu201D button. But system always create message:
u201CEnter values in work area for non-key fields
Message no. SV174
Diagnosis
An entry has been made for a non-key field in the view or table, which does not satisfy a selection condition stored in the Dictionary or made in the maintenance transaction initial screen.
System Response
The values entered cannot be accepted.
Procedure
Ensure that your entry is correct. This data record will not be displayed if you use the same selection conditions again.u201D
I donu2019t know what wrong here. How to create my custom Category? Here is u201Cnon-SAP Categoriesu201D, Is there any problem if we create category with this type?
4.2 How to add custom Category Group under 9AMALO? Which T-code we use?
5. By the way, Please clearly explain for me:
5.1. What are differences between u201CTime series live cacheu201D and u201COrder live cacheu201D?
5.2. What are differences between releasing KFs from DP to SNP and copying KFs from DP to SNP?
Thanks very much for your help!

Releasing a portion of Forecast for SAME product to SNP and a portion to R3

After running DP forecasting, can a portion of the forecast for the SAME product be released to SNP and a portion transferred to R3 ?
The requirement here is for a product, say Prod1, demand comes from 2 Business lines. Through Project System u2013 PS module, system differentiated the business lines
From a DP phase 1 perspective, client want to do global forecasting for 2 business lines
The challenge we r facing is demand coming from Business line 2 cannot be consumed in SNP as demand comes in the form of Automatic Reservations and CIF doesnt have the capability to CIF automatic reservations. Standard CIF only cifs manual reservations. So client wants the forecast for Business line 2 (Note that this is for the same product) to be transferred to R3.
So can a portion of the forecast for the SAME product be released to SNP and a portion transferred to R3 ?
TIA

Hi Visu, thanks for the reply
So if If I want to release the demand plan as a background job to both R/3 and SNP based on certain characteristic(Business Line), I am thinking of doing the below things.
Release to R3 -- >
1. Create a Transfer Profile
2 . Create an Activity using "MC8T- Define Activities for Mass Processing" and assign this transfer profile to the activity.
3. Create a Planning Job by selecting a Selection ID( that has the demand separation characteristic)
4. Schedule the Planning Job
Release to SNP -- >
1. Create a Release Profile
2 . Create an Activity using "MC8T- Define Activities for Mass Processing" and assign this Release profile to the activity.
3. Create a Planning Job by selecting a Selection ID( that has the demand separation characteristic)
4. Schedule the Planning Job
However, I am not sur eif I can do the follwoing.
1. Can I create a SINGLE Planning job to release demand BOTH to R3 and SNP ?
2. If I am using Different Key Figures in the planning area( per business line), do I have the need to maintain a separate characteristic value in the POS, as anyway I can load the data from cube to these separate key figures based on business line ?
3. MOST IMPORTANTLY, if I use different planning jobs to release to R3 and SNP, I can have different selection ID's ( per business line) and select these in the planning job instead of maintaing TWO DIFFERENT Key figures. do you think this is feasible ? Any thoughts/advice ?
TIA

Forecast Mismatch in DP and SNP

Hello all,
Currently we are in SCM 4.0. When we release the forecast from DP to SNP, there is a mismatch in the forecast if the monthly buckets are selected and the forecast matches for weekly buckets.
Can anyone please help me out on this.
Thanks,
Sai

Forecasts for weeks that cross the months are split in two in proportion of days in the two months. Eg. a forecast of 700 may be split into 400 and 300 for the week that crosses a month such that 4 days of a week fall in one month and 3 in the next. So due to this split, forecast that was say expected to be 700 inside a month would have only 400 in the month. This is a standard behaviour. you would need to explore badi that are active during forecast release if you want something different.

Forecast release

Hi All..
when I release my forecast from DP to SNP... it has to be released to a 'customised keyfigure'. How do I accomplish this task? Is there any setting by which I can make sure that the forecast is released to 'custom keyfigure' defined by business?
Thanks
Pooja

Hi Pooja ,
In the keyfigure assignement you need to specify souce and target keyfigure in tcode : /SAPAPO/MC90.
here target key figure is your custmoised key figure .
Also in data transfer details select forecast.
and make sure you have assigned right forecast category to customised key figure in planning area like FA.
Click on release extended on that screen you will see keyfigure button click on it .

How Forecast Release and Consumption for Variant Configuration

Hi experts,
we are planning in our project how to Forecast Release and Consumption for Variant Configuration
can you explain me
Regards,
babu

Hi Sivaramakrishna,
We tried the same but what is complicating is having "market" attribute of customer in R/3 and planning forecast in DP at the "market" level. There is no customer as such in DP. THere is only market. We could release forecast at market leve using "consumption group". But I am trying to figure out how to have the sales orders consume forecast at the location, product and market level in SNP.
Today we have our sales orders to consume forecast in SNP at location-product level. we are trying to take this to "location-product-market" level in SNP.
I think we need to use some settings for characteristic based or variable consumption I think...but not clear.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for taking time to reply.

Upload data from excel to snp livecach

Dear All.
I need to up load data from excel to snp. is their any bapi or function module.

Hello,
If you are using SCM 5.0 or above version you can load the data from Excel to SNP in two steps.
1. Load the data from excel to infocube with normal process.
2. Load the data from infocube to SNP by transaction /SAPAPO/REL_TO_SNP
Hope this helps.

Need to be "released" from Veizon Blackberry Server to get BIS in New Zealand??

I have a Verizon Blackberry Tour that has been unlocked. I am now with Vodafone New New Zealand and have registered for Blackberry Internt Service with Vodafone. It does not currently work - Vodafone tells me that the phone is registered on Verizon's Blackberry server and I need to contact Verizon to have it released from their server before Vodafone can provide me with BIS. Verizon tells me that because I never had a plan with them, the phone is not registered on their server (not sure I believe that, but....). Verizon has told me to contact Blackberry as the phone would have to be released from a Blackberry server. This doesn't make sense to me ... but I can't seem to find a way to talk to someone at Blackberry to find out. Can anyone help?

It makes sense to me, in that whoever used the device prior to you, did not "remove" the PIN from their account. Hence, the device remains registered on the previous account.
Verizon will need to do this. RIM doesn't do this. It is a common question asked here of users purchasing used devices. Call Verizon.

How to get the forecast data from SCM into BW

Hello,
Is there a table or Function module in SCM F&R that can be used to transfer the forecast data from SCM F&R into BW? I dont see any Business content datasources that has the forecast data.
I would like to get the future forecast data. For ex, if there is a forecast for a material and Site for the next 52 weeks, I would like to retrieve
the same from SCM. I dont see any business content. The closest would be 0FRE_ANA_WEEKLY_1. But it has only the past data, not the future data.
Thanks,
SBS.

Hi,
You would follow the same process as you would for getting data from a R3 system to BW, i.e generate datsources on the APO side and then set the extraction to flow from APO to BW. On the BW side, you'll need a source system for the APO, replicate datsources, set up update and transfer rules in the infosource and then load data to the data targets.
Cheers,
Kedar
