How to confine various level of planning in to limited and lowest level of planning in DP by the users

Hi Gurus,
May I know the various methods to confine planning level at the lowest level and re-define the Primitive methods where  business currently uses in excel sheet and plans at all level into demand planning with a minimum and lowest level by which the business reduces manual work and increases visibility and planning.
Example: Business currently plans at customer Hierarchies  which has about 6 levels, product has Hierarchies at 5 levels, location hierarchies at 3 level in excel sheet and on monthly level for an year and then quarterly for 2 years and yearly basis  for one year. This we need to confine to lowest level of customer, product and location.
HEIRARCHY LEVEL

L3
SOLD-TO- PARTY
CVC
P6_C5_L3
So in this case, the cvc are created at lowest level of planning, at P6_C5_L3.
Now how to convenience the business that they need to do the planning at this level for planning, as the rest levels will be aggregated automatically in demand planning.
Is the grouping level place a major role? if so how to do that as the business says for some products they do at p4_c2_L1 level for some they do at P5_C4_L2 level.
Could someone guide us in giving some solution which ease the business need of planning at any level. Hope you have understood my requirement by the above example. If not do let me know, so that I may try to inform by further details. Thanks in advance.

Praveen,
Not really sure what the question is.  You say you want to 'confine' planning to the most detailed level, but you also want to support planning at an intermediate level.
No matter.  DP transparently supports planning at any/all levels simultaneously.  Data in DP is always stored at the detail level, no matter which level (or combination of levels) the forecast is entered at.

  • How can I cancel the storage plan I just bought and get a bigger plan?

    How can I cancel the storage plan I just bought and get a bigger plan?

    I quote:
    'If you purchase a higher-tier storage plan for your iCloud account to replace your existing storage plan (for example, a 20 GB plan to replace a 10 GB plan), the existing plan will be canceled and you will receive a prorated refund for the time remaining. The new storage plan is applied to your iCloud account and the annual payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan.'
    So just purchase the new storage level and it will sort itself out automatically.

    No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

    Basically on my site when i go from a small screen to a big screen everything doesn't adjust to the screen size. I don't know what im missing

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.  Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How to get my images always order by file name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?

    How to get my images always order by arquive name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?
    Sorry for the poor english, but im portugues.
    In the library we can change the order of classification of image by, time of capture, name of file etc... I'm wondering if its possible define to be always by the name of file.
    It ´s possible?
    And i have other question, in print label we have an option to auto rotate to feet in page to have the image using the maximum area in the page (auto rotate, zoom etc), its possible to change the orientation of the rotation to be always in  the other direction?

    The Muvos are USB Mass Storage devices and do not have the ability to display track information based upon ID3 tags.
    The Zens all read and display track info based upon ID3 tag information that is either gathered from an online source or entered by the end-user.
    If you want the track information displayed instead of the ID3 tag information, you could edit the ID3 tags and rename the title to whatever you have as the file name. Not sure why your file names would differ so much from the ID3 tag info though, almost all of my content has the same name for the filename as it does on the ID3 tag title.

  • Promotion planning and lowest level KF

    Hai,
            The promotion key figure has to be the lowest level of detail, which means the KF has to be the lowest in the hierarchy. This means, I can only assign promotions at the lowest level?
    For example, a product called DOW white color soaps and a group level called DOW soaps. So as per the promotion planning, I can only set promotions at the DOW white color soaps and not at the group level of DOW soaps? is that true? What if I have a case that I have to specify a promotion at group.
    Thank you.

    Hi Vishu ,
    Firstly let me clear you that Promotion Key figure is the key figure in which the data for the promotion is to be stored and the Promotion level is the characteristic at which level the promotion is maintained ,this may be the Locaion or the Product .Yes you need to assign promotion to the lowest level but this does not mean that you can not add promotions at higher level like product grp or Brand .
    In promotion base you can define Characteristics (Grp/Brand etc) on which you want to plan promotion.
    For more clarification go thro.

  • Help, please - Combined Limits and Expressions for Insurance Plans

    I seem to be configuring something incorrectly using the Combined Limits and Expression in the IMG.  I was wondering if somebody has used this successfully and can give me some pointers?  I've used it successfully when I've limited a plan to coverage of not more than 50% of the coverage for another plan, but I can't seem to get it to work for my current requirement.  Here is my current requirement:
    I have 2 life insurance plans, one basic and one supplemental.  The supplemental can only be elected if the basic plan is elected, so the basic plan would be the priority plan.  The individual maximum allowable coverage amount for each plan is $3,000,000, which is configured under the coverage rules.  However, the combined limit between the 2 plans is also 3,000,000.  A person can have the basic plan only and have the full 3 mil, or they can have both plans and must not go over the 3 mil between the 2 plans.  The basic plan is 1x but the supp plan can be 1x - 8x so it is very possible that the basic will not hit the limit, but the supp will. 
    I tried to set the combined limit of 3,000,000 for the 2 plans using the 2 pieces of the combined limits config, but I've tried everything, and it does not cut them back.
    Can anyone tell me step by step how to configure this, or do I need to enable and develop a user exit?
    Thanks!
    Lisa

    Hi, Lisa
    This should not be a problem.
    Firstly, have you set the Basic plan as a corequisite for your optional plan?
    Benefits--> Flexible Administration -->Prerequisites and Corequisites --> Define Corequisite Plans;
    Choose your secondary plan from the drop-down; then define your primary plan as the corequisite.  In most instances, selecting the 'Any plan required' radio button  should to the trick.
    Now for the combined limits:
    This is a 2-step process.
    1:  Define Combined Coverage Limits.
    Choose your Optional life plan, and enter the following:  Limit Amount -- 3,000,000; Rel. Operator :  >=
    REPEAT FOR BASIC PLAN AS WELL!!!!
    When you save this, your resulting screen should read something like this :  OPTL     Optional Life Limit   3,000,000   0.000  >=
    2:Define Combined Coverage Limit Expressions
    Select your Optional life plan.
    Enter the following in the table:
    1.00  |  Basic Life Plan
    1.00  |  Optional Life Plan
    Again, do the same for the Basic plan.
    the combination of these two steps  creates the following equation:
    3,000,000 >= 1* Basic Life + 1* Optional Life.
    Feel free to ping me if you have questions.   Contact details are on my business card.

  • HT204053 My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop items being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?

    My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
    Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

    You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
    Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

  • DP Local Key Figure Discrepancy between Aggregated level and lowest level

    Dear,
    Here is my issue.
    Forecast (key figure)
    Life Cycle Factor (key figure)
    Final Forecast (Local Key figure)
    Final forecast = Forecast * (1- LCF (%) )
    Example :
    Product 1 = 100
    Product 2 = 200
    Product 3 = 300
    TOTAL FORECAST = 600
    If I assign a life cyle factor to Product 1 = 60
    Total LCF appears  = 20 (60 + 0 + 0) => OK
    Final Forecast Product 1 = 40        => OK
    Final Forecast Product 2 = 200      => OK
    Final Forecast Product 3 = 300      => OK  
    Total Final Forecast =  480  (600 * (1-20%)        => NOK 
    I have a very strange situation because  at the product level, the formula is OK   => Final Forecast = Forecast * (1 - LCF(%) )
    BUT Total Final Forecast should be the sum of the each product Final forecast = 40 + 200 +300 = 540.
    Can you help me to understand what I have to correct for  this aggregation ?
    Thanks a lot for your help

  • Due to a divorce all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my Library to the new computer. How can I do this without using an external drive and use new computer just like I do the old one? Thanks.

    Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy  a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
