Forecaste Consumption.

I have a question regaridng consumption of forecaste. I have a Material which is Buy to sell(HAWA). I maintain Demand for that Matertial in MD61.  A sales order comes in for a requested delivery date of 12/31/2010. but I just PGId the sales order today. which months forecaste will it consume. The forecaste of this month or the forecaste of 12/31/2010.

Hi
The consumption method depends on the strategy.
If you use the make-to-stock strategy, the system always reduce the oldest PIR regardless of the posting date or delivery date, the consumption period is not taken into account. You can change this behavior by the small modification of the note 71804, this will reduce the PIR which is closest to current date if you use backward consumption and take the comsuption mode/period into account, please read the note for more info, but this still has nothing to do with the posting date or delivery date.
If you use the make-to-order strategy, the consumption mode/period can be considered, and the date will be checked for reduction in the period is determined as below.
If neither the field 'AllIn' is set nor 'Red' in customization OVZG for corresponding requirement class but in the movement type the field 'Reduction indicator' is set in OMJJ, the forecast is reduced with the MM-IM posting date: MKPF-BUDAT.
In other cases the forecast is reduced with material available date of the the delivery item.

  • Forecast Consumption

    Hi,
    we are running ASCP on 11.5.10 and use a forecast from ODP loaded into the ASCP plan.
    In the plan options we have set "Schedule By" to "Schedule Ship Date" because we want that everything is planned for the Schedule Ship Date from the Sales Orders.
    Our plan consumes forecast via "Forecast Consumption Buckets", meaning per Month in our case.
    The question is now:
    1. Which date from the sales orders is used to decide in which bucket the forecast is consumed? I suppose it's the same date as we have define in plan option "Schedule By", or?
    2.Does anyone know if it's possible to say that forecast consumption happend for example per "Request Arrival Date" but all Scheduling in the Plan is done on "Scheduling Ship Date" ?
    The background for these questions is:
    We have situations where sales orders can not be confirmed to the Customer requested date, so we have a different schedule ship date then requested ship date.
    But the forecast should be consumed in the bucket of where the customer has initially requested the ship date. If we consume in the buckets for the schedule ship date, then it might lead to the wrong conclusion that customer's sales orders are not in line with the forecast.
    Maybe someone has any experience on that, any help is appreaciated.
    Best regards,
    David.

    Hello Ravi,
    thanks for the response. Infact this is what I expected. Maybe I will raise a feature request on that question 2 because from business side it sounds logically.
    Thanks,
    David.

  • Forecast consumption situation not shown in Forecast tab-RRP3 View

    Hi,
    I have released Forecast(FA) from DP to SNP.I am able to see the forecasts in Product view Elements tab.But I am not able to see any Forecast consumption details and overview in Forecast tab of Product view.It is showing if i create forecast manually in RRP3 view itself.How to bring the forecast data in forecast tab of RRP3 view.
    Thanks&Regards
    Venkadesh

    Hi Venkadesh,
    This is a known issue and can be solved by SAP  Note 743646 - Incorrect consumption situation in product view.
    Using a report, you can adjust the consumption situation in the element view so that it is the same as the consumption situation in the forecasting view.  To do this, call transaction SE38 and create the report Z_CSP_DELTA_FCST with the title "Check of the consumption situation"; Type: Executable program; Status: Test program; Application: Materials Management.  Delete the first line "REPORT..." from the new report  then use the cut and paste functions to add the program to the correction instructions.
    Try this out and let me kow if this solves your purpose.
    Many thanks,

  • Forecast Consumption in APO- No Data Available in Product View

    Hi Experts
    I facing some problem in Forecast Consumption in APO. The APO system is connected to a R/3 system. So data relevant for Forecast consumption comes from R/3.
    The allocation indicator in the requirement class assigned to the strategy maintained in the product master is set as " no consumption with customer requirement". and the same is transfered to APO.
    I have the changed the settings in APO and here are the setting maintained in APO to enable Forecast Consumption.
    Product Master Setting:
    a) Consumption Mode: 2 ( forward and backward)
    b) Consumption Period: ( 30 days both backward and forward)
    c) Strategy Group : 20 and assignment mode is set to "Assign customer requirement to planning with final assembly" and category group has sales order - BM
    d) The check mode setting in the ATP tab is set to "Assign customer requirement to planning with final assembly"
    I have a forecast for today's date and a sales order transferred from R/3 for the same date. But I do not see any data in the Forecast tab in the product view ( /sapapo/rrp3 Tcode)
    Please let me know if I am missing any setting in APO. Or the SAles order carries the strategy information from R/3 and influencing the consumption any way.

    Hi,
    What is your Forecast & Sales order quantity? If these are same then sales order consumed forecast, so you can not able to see in the rrp3.
      Second thing try to increse the forecast quantity than sales order quantity & then check it.

  • User exits/BAdIs for Forecast consumption by sales order

    Hello Experts,
    My question here is: When Sales Order either new or change comes from ECC to APO, what are key fields considered for Forecast Consumption? Is requirements strategy is considered from location product master or Sales Order brings own data from ECC into it's own structure? I have read from SAP help or documentation that Sales Order coming from ECC does not use requirement strategy from Product Master. Rather it get its own fields like planning strategy/group / requirement class from ECC. It uses location product master only to get consumption parameters like forward/back word consumption days. So I am thinking to use some user exits or BAdIs to enhance the incoming sales orders to consume separate forecast categories in APO.
    My requirement is:
    For the same one product we want sales orders (can have two different order types or identify by a custom field) to consume two different order categories (ie. FA & FC) by enhancing incoming sales orders. So we have regular 1)Forecast key figure which is 'FA' category and 2)Forecast Additional key figure which is FC category. When we release two separate forecasts from DP we release into these two key figures and categories. Now we want incomping sales orders to consume these two categories separately when our sales orders are having two different order types (i.e OR and ZR).
    I want to kow what way we can acomplish this? Are there any user exits or BAdIs for this purpose?
    I looked arount BAdI /SAPAPO/DM_BADI_CSP and I am not quite sure it's going to help. Are there any others?
    I appreciate if anybody explain me the process?
    Thanks in advance!

    Standard Logic --- Whatever plant is visible in the Sales Order, the sales order will appear under that Product Location in SNP
    There is no standard way of making the sales order visible in another location.
    Depending on your requirement(Ex: Forecast Consumption, planning etc),using APO-BW we can simulate the requirements in the other plant which can be a nightly run and not immediate.
    Now coming to your question, if the delivering plant is A, how does ECC Delivery document know when the sales order has plant B that the delivering plant is A.
    Can you be more specific.

  • Forecast consumption not working when using BAPI_SLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2

    HI SAP APO experts,
    I have a problem. We are sourcing our transactional data from non-SAP system so we had to develop an interface that will post transactional data to APO. We developed a program that will post data from flat file to APO LC. We  used BAPI_SLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2  in posting sales order but my problem is that its not consuming my forecast. I am using strategy 20 and backward consumption of 28 days in my product master.
    Using CIF, forecast consumption is working but not for our abap. Hope you can help me. Thanks.
    Mylene

    Hi Sarvesh,
    No, I was not able to find what is that internal request type 52. But I did some more research and you need to have check mode populated in your BAPI. In our case, we can not hard code check mode in the BAPI since we are using more than one check mode. My abaper just parsed then change the program that it will parse check mode from material master to the BAPI. Now, forecast consumption is alreayd working. But I am still facing 2 issues:
    1. After this change in the code, our program is now running longer than usual. This used to run only for 20 minuutes but now its running for more than 3 hours.
    2. For materials using demand strategy 20, sales order is consuming forecast which is correct. But when I delete this sales order, forecast quantity does not go back to original quantity in the planning book.

  • Forecast consumption against CTO item in ASCP

    In source side module (OM, MRP) , following is the observation:
    i) we define a forecast set with consume check box checked for ATO model
    ii) create a sales order for ATO model , configure it .
    The sales order quantity for configured item is consumed against forecast of ATO model.
    I want to do same type(as source) of consumption in ASCP for configured item. Is this possible? I was trying to check this scenario in R12. Following is the setup:
    i) created forecast set with consume check box Unchecked for ATO model
    ii) create sales order for ATO model and configure it .
    iii) run collection
    iv) define plan with plan options ;
    consume by forecast bucket checked and explode forecast check box checked.
    In this above setup, the sales order quantity for configured item is not getting consumed against forecast of ATO model. Is there any thing wrong in setup ? please let me know.

    Abhishek,
    I would revisit this part of your setup for ASCP:
    "created forecast set with consume check box Unchecked for ATO model"
    You just instructed ASCP not to consume this forecast. The source side forecast set must have "consume forecast" selected.
    Starting in 11.5.10 release, Oracle implemented very significant improvements for CTO model forecast consumption. The old MRP process supported forecast consumption for one level in the sales order organization only. Oracle ASCP 11.5.7 through 11.5.9 supported multi-level, multi-org forecast consumption for one source of organizations only.
    So yes, your requirement is supported in 11.5.10 and later releases. ASCP will perform forecast consumption in this order:
    1. Consume the forecast for that specific Configured item (if entered)
    2. Consume the forecast for any remaining sales order demand for the referenced ATO Model.
    3. Explode the bill and consume the forecast for lower level options, subassembly configured items, and ATO models as needed.
    To support this in a multi-org environment you will need to provide a global forecast and appropriate sourcing assignments.

  • Question on Inline forecast consumption in ASCP

    Hi,
    We are trying to test the option of cosuming the forecast in ASCP.
    We currently have the forecasts consumed in the source i.e. at the forecast set by the planning manager. But we have new requirement that for some of the organizations, we would like the forecast to consumed in the plan NOT at the forecast set.
    So, can you please suggest how we can do that? And what are necessary setup steps or profile option settings that we need to do the forecast consumtion in the ASCP plan.
    Below are couple steps that I tried but the forecast consumption does not happen in ASCP.
    1. Stoppped planning manager
    2. Checked "Consume by Forecast bucket" on the Main tab of the plan options
    3. Set the values for Backward and forward days as 5 and 5
    4. Turn off the "Consume" option on the forecast set.
    I really appreciate you review and suggestions on this.
    Regards,
    Anand.

    Hi
    4. Turn off the "Consume" option on the forecast set. -- I did nt test recently but this in source FC set should be checked is wht I remember..
    also It does nt mater it gets consumed in source or not you will anyway collect orig FC qty and ascp will consume accoridng to plan options.
    Thnx

  • IMP:Forecast Consumption/Netting by incoming Sales orders in SNP

    Dear All,
    I need your help to understand the logic of Forecast netting by Sales orders in SNP. I can see the details in /SAPAPO/RRP3 but getting puzzled for soem SKUs. We don't have any PP/DS and GATP implemented.
    Below are the details and question based on that:
    I am releasing my forecast monthly and Sales orders as usual are coming from ECC and netting happens. Then next month again i have my forecast release then will the existing Sales orders will consume my this month's forecast (we are following backward/ foreward consumption type with 35 days back and 1 day forward, so as per the time period, SO can consume Forecast). I am a bit confused because pegging relationship is created between the demand and supply element and so new forecast shouldn't be consumed by the existing Sales orders. Am i correct here?
    Secondly, could somebody explain the difference between the 'Overview and detail' tab under the Forecast tab in /SAPAPO/RRP3. Sometimes i see some data under the 'Withdrawal Qty' column in Detail view of Forecast tab. Could somebody explain when it is populated.
    Regards
    Bishwajit

    Hi,
    I think your first question is regarding the pegging relationships used for forecasting.  Even when you release a new forecast, the system remembers the forecast relationship.  So, pegging occurs but in the sense that it pegs to forecast - in general - not to one specific forecast order in the system.  If you desire to "reset" these relationships, then you need to run the program for reorganization of independent requirements (/SAPAPO/MD74).
    Your second question relates to the existence of a withdrawal quantity and differences between the overview and details in /SAPAPO/RRP3.  The withdrawal quantity represents the amount of forecast that has been "reduced" from the forecast (corresponding to actual shipments that have been PGI'd against deliveries).   Forecast consumption occurs when SO's and Deliveries are created and saved and reduction occurs when they are PGI'd.  Withdrawal quantity corresponds to the reduction...
    Hope this helps!

  • Forecast Consumption in SNP for shipped qty's

    Hello experts,
    I got a question for forecast consumption in SNP and whether forecast stays "consumed" or not after a customer orders gets shipped (Post Goods Issue).
    My example is: I have a weekly bucket forecast qty of 100 in DP and release this to SNP. Now in SNP planning book I have 30 units of open Customer Demand against it ... means I have 70 in Forecast line (30 units got consumed correctly). Once I create a shipment for the open Customer Order of 30 units in R3 the situations remains the same .. but if I post the Goods Issue now on the delivery document the Customer Demand disappears (which is correct) but my Forecast line increases again from 70 to 100. I thought forecast consumption in APO would "remember" the already shipped quantities ? I know that you can reorganize open forecast but want I'm looking for is the standard R3 behaviour of keeping already shipped qty's as consumed. Can anybody help here or explain ?
    Regards
    Thomas
    Using SCM5.0

    Hi Datta,
    I checked the note  - there is only point 9 in the list saying:
    "9. During goods issue for the delivery in R/3, the forecast is always reduced to the date requested by the customer. In addition, overdeliveries are ignored."
    Unfortunately this doesn't explain how it works or needs to be done to have FCST consumption happen in APO_SNP based on shipped qty's. In my case FCST consumption works okay up to the point of posting the goods issue on a delivery document. I wonder if there something I need to activate somewhere to have this working since I can't see any "with drawn qty" in APO.
    Any other hints ?
    Regards

  • Forecast Consumption in SNP for Make-to-Order products

    We are working on using APO-SNP for Make-to-order products (PlngStrategyGroup = "81" in R/3). We want to achieve normal forecast consumptino on FinishedGoodLevel and generate PlndOrders which shall derive component demand for purchasing (such PlndOrers wont be released to production - they should only function as demand driven on component level)
    What we have done so far: Forecast in APO-DP on Finished good level exists and has been released to SNP. The product gets "ciffed" from R/3 into APO material master with planning strategy group "20" (which is basically "make-to-stock") --> we were hoping this would allow us to use "normal" forecast consumption but nothing happens (FCST is not being consumpted by open Sales orders). Within the product view of such products APO is still "realizing" that this is a make-to-order product.
    Any other ideas / thoughts what could be done to achieve "normal" forecast consumption on FGI level for make-to-order products in APO-SNP ?
    Tks !

    I checked in /n/SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View), unfortunately only FC exists there
    Seems that the open Sales Orders from R/3 are being created within another segment (the "element" Tab of RRP3 shows 2 segments:
    1) "Make-to-stock" (which contains the FC)
    2) "Make-to-order" (which contains the Sales Orders)
    That might explain the issue I see (FC and SOs are in different planning segment --> no consumption). Reading about planning segments in the help sounds like I need to find a way to bring Sales Orders for Make-to-Order products into the Make-to-stock segment  ... jus a thought .. any idea how to do this ? Does that mean I need to modify the CIF for Sales Order transfer for Make-to-order products ?
    Tks

  • Cross-location forecast consumption

    Hi experts,
    Is there any possibility to influence the forecast consumption logic in order to have a cross-location forecast consumption?
    Let me explain the requirement with an example:
    PROD 1 - LOC A -> FCST = 10
    PROD 1 - LOC B -> FCST = 20
    The situation is...if a new requirement for the first combination (PROD 1 - LOC A) of 15 is entered in the system we will consume the entire forecast in LOC A.
    APO WAY:
    PROD 1 - LOC A -> CONSUMED FCST = 10 --> REMAINING FORECAST = 0
    PROD 1 - LOC B -> COMSUMED FCST = 0  --> REMAINING FORECAST = 20
    In that case we would like to consume all forecast for LOC A (10) but also consume the remaining requirement quantity for LOC B (5).
    DESIRED WAY:
    PROD 1 - LOC A -> CONSUMED FCST = 10 --> REMAINING FORECAST = 0
    PROD 1 - LOC B -> COMSUMED FCST = 5  --> REMAINING FORECAST = 15
    We have been looking for user exits in order to influence withdrawal quantities stored in /SAPAPO/DP_SCHED table...is that correct procedure?
    We are looking at BAdI "/SAPAPO/SDP_RELDATA" in order to influence the release, and change the the forecast quantities based on the withdrawal quantities, but this would force as to release forecast on daily basis.
    Finally, we know that GATP functionality could be used, but it is moving sales orders in case that allocation is not possible, and we are not allowed to move sales orders across locations.
    Any idea? Is that possible?
    Thanks in advance,
    Raul

    Thanks for your quick answer, do you think it is possible to use /SAPAPO/SDP_RELDATA in order to influence forecast distribution and "simulate" a cross-location consumption?
    Example:
    PROD 1 - LOC A -> FCST = 10
    PROD 1 - LOC B -> FCST = 20
    Sales Order in A for 15. After Sales Order creation my situation is:
    PROD 1 - LOC A -> CONSUMED FCST = 10 --> REMAINING FORECAST = 0  (RELEASED = 10)
    PROD 1 - LOC B -> COMSUMED FCST = 0 --> REMAINING FORECAST = 20 (RELASED = 20)
    If I use /SAPAPO/SDP_RELDATA in order to check consumed quantities and redistribute forecast from B to A it would be possible to have:
    PROD 1 - LOC A -> CONSUMED FCST = 15 --> REMAINING FORECAST = 0 (RELEASED = 15)
    PROD 1 - LOC B -> COMSUMED FCST = 0 --> REMAINING FORECAST = 15 (RELEASED = 15)
    Has someone experience on that BAdI? Is there any other possible solutions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Raul

  • Forecast Consumption Respect "quarter" Boundaries

    Hi,
    Can ASCP Forecast Consumption RESPECTS "Quarter" boundaries
    Regards
    Lokesh

    Lokesh,
    ASCP does nothave any specific feature to respect quarterly boundaries.
    You can limit forecast cosnumption to a specific "bucket" (day, week, period) and by design if you forecast using one of those buckets (week, period), then any sales order within that time period will consume that forecast before going backward and foreward to consume other forecast entries.

  • Forecast consumption for external items?

    Hi,

  • ASCP engine does forecast spreading or forecast consumption first?

    We are using Demantra for forecasting in Monthly bucket.Say for March 2011, forecast is 2300 qty.
    And we have a sales orders 1 for 200 qty on 1st March 2011.
    Planning Bucket is daily for 6 months with 5 days working. So for march we have 23 working days.
    I think ASCP will first convert Forecasting bucket to Planning bucket, which means each working day will have forecast of 100 qty. ( Forecast Spreading)
    Then Sales order of 200 qty will be consume by forecast on March-1,2011 ( Forecast Consumption)
    If I check Consume forecast by Bucket then on 1st March, I will have 100 qty sales order and 100 qty forecast.
    If I uncheck the above option in plan then based on consumption days it will work.
    Our requirement, is first forecast consumption should happen before forecast spreading? How can we achieve this.
    So really, Sales order on 1st March for 200 qty should be consumed against 2300 qty for March month, and then 2100 should be spread to 23 working days, Is it possible?

    Hi Sandeep,
    Thanks for pointing me to the section.
    One solution can be the forecasting and planning bucket to be same, periodic. In this the forecast consumption will happen correctly, no issue and within the bucket. But the issue will be the ASCP will recommend planned orders on the last day of the period, which won't work. We want the planning & supply in daily bucket.
    If we have forecasting bucket monthly and planning bucket daliy than every day when we run the plan we have to update the forward and backward days so that consumption can happen exactly the same month.
    So I am currect with the understanding that forecast spreading happen first and then consumption.
    Thanks

  • CTM - Forecast Consumption for Dependent Demand

    Hi
    We have a scenario where the Planning Strategy for a assembly part (say X) is set to a custom copy of 70 so that forecast is consumed by dependent demand. Forecasts are released from DP for such assemblies.
    The Parent of this assembly (say A) is defined when sales order is taken (Engineer-To-Order scenario) and BOM defined with X under it. The Finished Good 'A' itself may have any other planning strategy (say Make-To-Stock or Make-To-Order).
    The problem we are seeing is that when system plans for X during a CTM run, the system adds the the dependent demand of the parent to the forecast of X itself. There is no forecast consumption, so this leads to doubling up of demand.
    I understand that forecast consumption occurs in Livecache and CTM does not store the intermediate results of planning in Livecache as orders, so there is no forecast consumption.
    Any suggestions on how forecast consumption of dependent demand can be achieved during the CTM run ?
    Thanks
    Rishi Menon

    Hi,
    Request you to go thru the CTM help library under topic sub assembly planning to resolve your issue..
    It says you need to carryout two CTM runs.
    In the first CTM planning run, you plan the sales orders, and in the second CTM planning run that you then execute immediately afterwards, you plan the planned independent demands of the assembly.
