Forecasting in SOP
hi
I want to know about the calculation in forecasting in SOP
Mean absolute deviation, Ex post Forecast,Basic value , alpha beta factor
How these values r calculated?
Amit
1.SAP - has forecast profile.
inside the forecast profile we have the forecast model
Each mode has it own calcualation..All the belwo mentioned values are used for calcluation in arrriving at the forecasted value at the end of the forecast run
2. i have explained little on the few elements
Basic value:It is used in arrving the first order exponential smoothign value.
These below 2 values help you to calculate the forecast:
alpha :The system uses the alpha factor to smooth the basic value
beta:The system uses the beta factor to smooth the trend value
How these values r calculated?
The below link should help and answer all your questions.

Hi,
I am working with forecast of SOP at background, for that activity I have created variant.
Here we are getting an error
Product group/material is not allowed as an aggregation level
For a Product group, if I have used other product group then its work. I have need requirement for that product group.
Pl helps me for finding the solution.Hi,
In your case you must be having as below:
First level: Product group -- A
Second level: Production group -- B
Third level: Material
You must be trying directly for PG A, which is first level PG>
But, SAP does not allow the top level PG to be disaggregated. Disaggregation is only allowed if the members of a PG are materials, and not some other product group.
In such a case, you first need to disaggregate from first level PG to second level PG -- from A to B and then carry out further activities for PG b, which is the lowest level PG.
I hope this is helpful.
Revert in case of problem.

Dear Expert,
Our requirement is that we have no SOP function, but we need the forecast for running MRP generate purchase proposal. how to do?
regards
NathanHi ,
Maintain the forecast view of the materials & the relevent settings... Then execute material forecast from transaction MP38. Take a MRP run..the forecast requirement will be reflected as unplanned requirement & planned orders will be created accordingly.
Thanks

Material Forecast VS SOP Forecast
Hi,
Could anyone please explan to me what is the difference between the mtl forecast and the SOP forecast ? I have read the documentation a few times and still have not bee able to figure out what the difference is. Do we need to use both at the same time ? Do the forecasted values in the material master equate to the forecasted values you see in the SOP planning table ? Are these two interchangable ? I would really appreciate it if someone could explain this to me.
ThanksDear,
It depends on the parameters used. First let you be clear that do you want to do it through SOP or Matrial master, then go ahead with that. It may be same or diffeent depends on the parameters used.
If you do it in forecast in material master usually we use it for ra material where we use consumption based planning with VV.
If you do sales forecast it is used for product and we are doing with a planning stg where we control the consumption.
In SOP, we can control what to consider as consumotion or whether to take last year slaes...
In material master it is just a consumption.
Hence be clear what is required for you and proceed -
In SOP- transfer forecasted values from material master to info structure?
Hi All,
I wanted to test out a few scenarios. Do you know the answers / can you help simulate and check the below?
1. If I run the forecast using different models for different materials using the total forecast run (MP38), the forecast values will get updated in the material master. Can I get these values transferred directly into the SOP (standard or flexible), without re-running the forecast in SOP? What I am looking at is a possible scenario where individual materials have different forecast model, so do not want to run forecast from SOP using one model for all.
2. Can you have the capability of selecting diff model (say based on material master data) in SOP for diff materials? When I ran SOP, the model I specify there for forecasting is applied for all materials
3. If I upload historical values/forecasted values in the material master, can I directly transfer them to SOP without any change to the value?

SOP- Sales forecast in $ value
Hello,
Is it possible to enter a sale forecast is SOP or Flexible SOP in $ value of forecast sales, instead of at Quantity in "PCS". For example, we want to forecast for 6 months the sales of a product family. Is it possible in SOP or it must be done with CO/PA?
Regards,
Edited by: Boaz Weinstock on Jun 30, 2008 4:37 PMIn the flexible planning, you should choose right planning type which has layout of sales value instead quantity.
Planning type is linked to a planning table.
Forecast comesup from history, CO/PA is used only for the cost benefit analysis.

Hi Gurus,
Good Morning.
I am trying to prepare a Forecast Plan for next 6 months based on the Sales History for Past 13 weeks. The solution which i was thinking of is to prepare a Custom Sales Forecast report in SAP with the Sales History over the 13 weeks as the basis for the calculation , spread it out in monthly buckets and then upload it to the Planned Independent requirement table (MD61)
If at all if i dont use the above option , In the system if i extend the forecast view then we can plan the Total Consumption over there , ther total Consumption does looks for all the Sales Order over that particular period? and also how can i get the data in the the forecasting to be transferred to the Planned Independent requirement table ? It would be great if you are able to provide some Configuration/Setup details.
Thanks in Advance..
Thanks
BalajiBalaji,
It appears you are asking about R/3 forecasting, and not APO. You don't have to write a custom report, SAP standard functionality provides your requirement.
Standard methods in R/3 to arrive at Planned independent Requirements through a forecast are Material Forecasting (which creates forecasts based on historical consumption) and Sales and Operations Planning (which can forecast based on anything you design).
Simplest to implement is material forecasting. For most companies, FGs consumption data is more than adequate to provide realistic forecasts.
Once your forecast is done, using either Material forecasting or SOP, it can automatically be converted to Planned Independent requirements.

Hi Gurus,
is it possible to have a Forecast in SOP in which I have different customer using the same part number? Scenario is this customer gives separate forecast for this material. I need to consolidate this forecast and load to Demand Management.
For example below:
Customer Forecast Material
Customer 1 200 Mat1
Customer 2 300 Mat1
Customer 3 250 Mat1
I want to load the forecast by customer and transfer it in Demand management as a whole or separately will do. Is it possible to manipulate this data using SOP? may i know how?
I only know the per material loading of forecast.
Thanks,
RaymondHi,
Your scnario can be achievd by Flexible Planning.
You have to create InfoStructure where the Customers is a Characteristic Value.
Please find the TCode to configure Flexible Planning as Follows:
1. MC21: Create Info Structure
2. MC7F: Planning Parameter
3. MC61: Create Planning Hierrachy
4. MC9B: Calculate Proportion
5. MC8A: Create Planning Type
6: MC93: Create Plan in Flexible Planning
7. MC90: Transfer to Demand Management
8. MD02: MRP Run.

Characteristic Based Planning in SOP - R/3
Hi Experts,
I would like to plan my material variants (stockable items of my configurable products) using Sales & Operations Planning. To that end, I wanted to know, if there is a functionality available in the R/3 SOP system, with which IHello
If you don't want to use forecast based planning, the only alternative is to make the forecast in SOP.
After making the forcast on SOP, the values are transfered to demand management and then MRP is used to generate planned orders.

Section 3: Functional Description
Background (whatever; Ex.Why does this program have to develop?)
This is to allow materials dept to view and analyze total component requirement base on sales forecast ie. budget forecast, inactive version within specific planning horizon.
Requirements
In SOP, material dept will maintain planning data (sales & production plan) in various version.
1. Active version: A00
This version is transferred to demand mgmt as active version. MRP will use this planning data to create order proposals (planned orders, purchase requisitions).
2. Inactive version: 001 999
There are 3 types of inactive version in SOP:
a) Sales forecast 000 799
b) Budge forecast 800 820
c) Forecast report 821 999
This report should allow to read any version of the sales forecast and return the total component requirements in the planning horizon that specify.

First screen is .Sop
.copa
Again for sop is having a selection screen and in this it is divide based on month and year seperately in two more screens.
same for copa also....
so pls tell me a correct solution where to correct and get values.
Priority is very highhhhhhhhhhhhhh,so pls help me in sorting out this. -
Hi,
I have a requirement like this....
For a product they want to take previous months sales data say for last 12 months... when we put this data upon execution system needs to propose the next future forecast data say for next 24 months after making some calculations ( ex. making average ) .... I know this can be done in APO... but client do not want to use APO and want this in ECC R/3
Is this can be achieved in ECC R/3 ?. Problem here is they do not want to use forecast based planning also......is there any way this can be done in SOP
Thanks
VinamrathHello
If you don't want to use forecast based planning, the only alternative is to make the forecast in SOP.
After making the forcast on SOP, the values are transfered to demand management and then MRP is used to generate planned orders.
Take a look on the following link for more details:
Planning Table: the Forecast - Sales &amp; Operations Planning (LO-LIS-PLN) - SAP Library

We are kicking off an MRP project in a couple months and I need some help filling in a few gaps in my knowledge. I am fairly familiar with MM but hardly at all with PP. We are on ECC 6.0. Not running SRM/APO.
Some background: My company wishes to do forecast based MRP. We have about 2 years of MM transactional history and inventory of data. We have not implemented any PP but are prepared to put in whichever components are required in support of the MRP process. However, a non-SAP system will remain our production order system. We use SAP MM/WM for procure to pay and IM of raw materials. The desire is to marry SAP's generated forecast based on historical data with a future sales/demand forecast created in Excel. This sales forecast lists out the finished good. The forecast gets generated quarterly for the next 3 months.
A few questions I had:
1) Since we do not care to valuate or inventory the finished good, I assume that we need to represent the finished good as a phantom material with the BOM components being the raw materials?
2) What is the BADI that is used to import the Excel sales forecast? What transaction calls the BADI?
3) I assume that after SAP marries the historical and future forecast data, there is the ability to view the consolidated forecast and make adjustments...what transaction is used for this?
4) We have three plants and so far each plant has been carrying out its MRP planning (outside of SAP) on its own. However, there are many raw materials and finished goods that are common to the plants (ie same SAP material numbers) and, if not already, could be sourced from the same vendor for better pricing. On occasion, when there is a shortage in one plant we do a plant-to-plant transfer.
a) I assume there is the capability to run MRP using the summarized forecast of all three plants? I'd group the plants under an MRP area, correct?
b) Can some raw materials be planned at the plant level while other materials at the global level?
c) Or if MRP takes place at the plant level, is there any functionality for our global procurement team to see a more summarized global view of the material requirements? He'd need this, for example, to negotiate better pricing on centrally agreed contracts with the vendor.
Thanks!
VladVlad,
1) Since we do not care to valuate or inventory the finished good, I assume that we need to represent the finished good as a phantom material with the BOM components being the raw materials?
Don't know where you got that idea. I wouldn't do that, but I don't know all the particulars. If you intend to sell finished goods, you probably will want to put them in a plant as stock. If you intend to build finished goods, you probably shouldn't use a phantom.
3) I assume that after SAP marries the historical and future forecast data, there is the ability to view the consolidated forecast and make adjustments...what transaction is used for this?
Big assumption. There are several ways to approach forecasting within SAP ECC. These functionalities are not a 'transaction'. I suggest you look at standard online help to get a feel of what is and is not possible. Below is a bit of info about forecasting within SOP. SOP is one of the planning methods with the greatest feature sets. If SOP doesn't have enough functionality for you, then you probably need APO. There are also simpler methods of forecasting in SAP.

another big assumption. MRP, unlike forecasting, is generally done at the plant level. There are ways to manage MRP so as to consolidate your demand into a single plant, but ultimately the purchased materials will have to be sent to the place where they are needed. If you have 5 places where your RM is needed, you will either cut 5 POs, or one PO and then ship the parts internally to the point of use.
b) Can some raw materials be planned at the plant level while other materials at the global level?
Generally MRP planning parameters are set at the plant level. There are, however, ways to manage your requirement.
c) Or if MRP takes place at the plant level, is there any functionality for our global procurement team to see a more summarized global view of the material requirements?
Yes
In closing, expert Mario Adler has given you some sound advice. What you are describing is a project. Some companies take months or years to implement a solution similar to the one you are describing. If you want to get the best bang for your buck, engage a consulting company who has done this before. You will end up richer in the end.

S076 SOP table for SD report (Sales Forecast Report ).
Hi
We are using S076 SOP table for SD report (Sales Forecast Report ). This has only material number as key at present , where as we want to know if flexible planning will give material/shipto as key for forecast.
Thanks In advance .Hi
These are the key figures I am seeing in OMOJ , As I am new to this functionality I am not able to add new key figures , can I request you to explain it to me ......
Key figure F D
Sales
Production
Stock level
Target stock level
Days' supply
