Hi Bin,
You can define your various hierarchies of planning in SNP through Master planning object structures. (/SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN - Administration of Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning )

Planning on Product group level

Hi,
We want to do forecast on the product group level.We have created 5 product groups and under each product group there are about 50 materials.Now for flexible planning I have created a infostructure with characteristics Product grp/Material and plant.
Can anyone help me out how i can do the plannig on different product groups with same infostructure.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Please find the below steps for flexible planning.
1.create a infostructrue with characteristics & key figures-MC21
2.Create a planning paramerters-MC7F
3.Create a planning type-MC8A
4.Create a product group-MC84/MM01
5.Create a Planning hirerachy-MC61
6.Create a plan using MC93
and regarding your issue you have to create a planning hierarchy .Once the planning hierarchy is done the data is avalible to create a plan

How to Enhance search help for product groups. Currently no ability to add multiple lines from result list

Hi All,
In CRM Web UI, there is no multi selection option for product group id f4 help for Custmer event creation or edit screen under “Product” tab=> Product Group ID field.
Web UI Component Details -
UI component : TPMOE
View : TPMOE/ProductEOL
Context: PRODUCT Attribute : -PRODUCT_GRUOP
Click on Product Group ID field then below F4 Help screen appears.
In the product group results list, user can select only one row and Then all the product will be queried for selected product group, transferred to product list tab.
Current technical design for Product Group F4:
a) SE11 Data Dictionary search help “CRM_MKTPL_PGRP1” is used and data is fetched displayed based it( Refer method GET_V_PRODUCT_GROUP of context node class CL_TPMOE_PRODUCTEOL_CN00)
b) In UI, F4 pop up is handled by UI Framework in SAP generic manner so no multi selection is allowed.
c) A round trip event is triggered after selection of row from results which reload view with queried product result based group selected.
Requirement :-
In the product group F4 results list View, user should be able to select multiple row .As SAP GUI has the option of multiple entry selection from search help window with the help of field called MULTISEL.
System should query for products with all selected product group, transferred to product list tab.
Note: - The multi select options works fine for GUI, but for UI standard SAP code ignores this or never is this structure taken into consideration. Standard class to display F4 help on UI is CL_THTMLB_F4HELP.
Can we enforce same behavior like DDIC search help in Web UI too Or suggest how we can achieve this requirement?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Arjun

Hello All,
We have achieved this requirement by Custom development and approach followed as -
Define UI object model zprgrp & zprgrpquery and object relationship in table ZCRM_OBJTAB
Query Strcuture : ZCRMST_PRGRP_SEARCH & Result List structure : ZCRMST_PRGRP_RESULT
Created Custom component : ZPRGRP with Search /Result view and with GENIL Class, search logic
Defined custom ComponentUsage “ProductGroup1SearchHelp” for ZPRGRP in Standard Component TPMOE
e. Called F4 application for field product _group with help component usage created in step d.

CK13N How to display Costing for a product with level as the transaction IH

Hello to all:
When I calculate the cost of a product, in the transaction CK13N I use the button Costing Stucture On to display the detail by item but there is no level notion.
I would like to display the cost like in hte transaction IH05, depending of the level in the bom.
Is somebody know a mean to do that.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Jean-marc

Hi Jean
With "Print preview of entire hierarchy", what I see in my system is exactly what you want
What i did is this
1. Execute CK11N for p1
2. Do not click on Costing Str on or off
3. SImply click on the printer icon as i said and "Print preview of entire hierarchy"
What I see is
P1
Under P1, I see
AS1
- C2
- C3
C1

SOP product group

Hi All
I have more than one product group produced on one production line and we want do and see the capacity analysis for all the product groups at the same time to get the overview capacity analysis for the line.
How to see it in one transaction?

Mayuresh,
You mean to say you have more than one products can be manufactured in one work center and you want to do the capacity planning.
After MRP run system will create plan orders, then go to CM25, select profile: SAPSFCG014- put workcenter and plant and execute. You will get 3 different charts where you can do the planning for all products at a time.

SOP for product group

Hi experts,
I have a problem transferring planed Sales quantities by product groups to SOP.
I did steps:
1.     Planned sales quantities by material, KEPM.
2.     Created product group with members material, MC84
3.     Transferred planned sales quantities to SOP into inactive version, KE1E
I can see or change SOP for material (MC88, MC89), but plan for product group is empty (MC82, MC83)!!!! Iu2019ve tried to create sales plan for product group transferring it from COPA (MC82), but it doesnu2019t work. Accordingly Break down PG plan (MC76) doesnu2019t work because plan for product group is empty and there is nothing to distribute.
4.     Iu2019ve checked planning type SOPKAPA for info structure S076. Structure row Sales has Aggregation method Total created. Iu2019ve tried to change planning type SOPKAPA, e.g. inserted new structure row. But for product group plan I see the same view, I mean there is no new structure row. Is it possible, that plan for product group used another planning type not SOPKAPA?
The main question is u2013 how to aggregate/ sum planned sales quantities for product group?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Greetings,
I guess,you know the limitations while transferring COPA plan data to SOP in PP module.
however,let me repeat 1.Unit of measure maintained in COPA module and PP module should be same.
further,2.You can transfer planning data to SOP at the product level or the product group level. If you want to plan and transfer data at the product group level, you need to create a characteristic (or characteristics) to represent the product group levels in SOP when you maintain your operating concern. Since in SOP product groups are stored as products in the database, make sure the characteristic you create for the product group has the same type and length as the characteristic "Product" (CHAR 18).
Kindly check these two limitations.
Thanks - GS Rao

Aggregate planning to support Product Group/Material/SKU 3-level ?

Hello Everyone,
For the AFS and APO integration, we want to have planning run on Product group, Material and SKU.
I know the standard AFS and APO integration will support aggregate planning on Material and SKU level. Will it be able to run SNP aggregate planning on Product group/Material level?
Thanks,
Bin

Dear Bin thanks for clarifying
You can try the below two options if its only for a reporting purpose and no capacity planning has to happen at that level.
1. THRU ABAP: Maintian the Product group in the Product attribute field in the Extra tab of the product master and then a Report can be developed through ABAP which can pick the capacity available to consumed by different product groups. As it will already have the product wise capacity consumed it will be easy to map it for the ABAP person using Product group info. From product attribute tab.
OR
2. IN the MPOS of your linked planning area maintain in the char attributes the Product attribute field 1.
By this when you load the capacity view for a particular you can detail all it Product attribute wise too like product wise.
As you will have maintained Product attribute as Product groups you will have the capacity consumed by each product group.
I havent tried 2nd option myself but i am certain to quite an extent it will work.

APO DP: Disaggregation to product&plant level from higher levels.

Hi.
We do demand planning on groups of products and for country/region in general, we have around 48.000 CVC's in our current setup. It works very well.
A new situation has arisen where we need to have the forecast split down to product and plant level.
As is we simply don't have the information at this level of granularity.
I don't see how we can add for instance product to our setup, we have around 20.000 products so the number of CVC's in DP would become massive if we did this.
I was thinking that perhaps something could be done by exporting the relevant key figures to a new DP setup with fewer characteristics (to keep the number of CVC's down) via some infocubes, perhaps some disaggregation could be done via some tables and the BW update rules. This still leaves the issue of how to get the figures properly disaggregated to plant and product though.
Does anyone have experiences on how to get the figures split to lower levels from DP when you're planning on a higher level?

Simon,
One approach as you mentioned can be creating Z Table where in you set up disaggregation proportion from product group level to product level or product location level.
Product Group X 100 Product A@loc1 10
Product B@loc1 90
Download your planning area data into infocube C and then use BW routines to convert the data from group in infocube C to lower level refereing Z Table....into another infocube..
SAP also provides such standard functionality of spliting the aggregate Demand plan to detailed level
SNP plan..through functionality like location slit or product split.
Essential you will be using same concept in yor BW solution or you may also want to consider the
release your DP to SNP planning area its as solution of diaggregation of data to lower level.

Manish

How to map Product Group for the Materials in BW.

Hi All,
We have an requirement for one of the report called as Progress validation Report.
We have to craete thsi repotr which would pulll out Inventory value, Production Plan value, Total Lates, Current week deliveries and WIP for a quarter.
Cube whihc provides details about production plan has data by Material, plant and product group wise.
But rest of the cube from which we extract the key figures does not have data by Product grop wise.
Product group is been picked from PGMI table in R/3.
How I can related the materials which are in other cube to the respective Product group.
Material and the relevant prdoct group data doesnot flows in BW.
There is even a scenario where ahve seen a material falls under 2 product groups..
PLease guide as how i can realted already existing materials in the Cube to the product group.
Points will be assigned
Thanks & Regards
Vaishali Patil

Hi,
Product Group is master data for material master. It is part of Matreial Clssification data in R/3.
Please check if you are having the same already loaded as attribute of Material master. I guess it will be there, if it s not there then you should try to load the same in material master object which you are using in all the cubes.
If the maintinenece in master data is nopt possible then you got to populate the same in cube.
There will be a combination of keys (materail/plant/prduct family etc.. ( for which Product group will be unique). then load product with the help of these key combinations in all the cubes via update routine.
There is one more way to have this but which is performance intensive.
You may create one master data object called Product Group and keep material number as attribute (with compunding all other key fileds to get the unique combination). Then you may create an infoset using cubes and this master data object. Join the materail numbers in all. Display this object in report.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S

How to create a Product Grouping and manage multiples?

How I can create a Product Grouping with 3 pieces of a product + 2 pieces of another product and ensure that customer can only order in multiples (6+4, 9+6, 12+8, etc.) and not for example 4+3?
Regards,
Francesco

Hi Madhavi,
You also need to assign the hierarchy to the application Product in Tcode: COMM_PRAPPLCAT.
There we have two settings,
1. Assign hierarchy to application.
   Make a new entry. Choose application Product and assign the hierarchy you
   have created.
2. Assign hierarchy to product type.
   In case you wish to have a separate hierarchy for each product type ( Material,
   Service, Warranty etc) than use this setting.
   Make new entry. Choose a product type and assign hierarchy to it.
Wish the information is useful. If it helps, do reward with points.

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location. They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group

How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group
This would be an SMS group similar to an email listserv but running on the SMS network
I have seen private individuals offering this service
It seems strange to me that no internet site like Apple, Yahoo or Google offers this as a free service much as the email group services are free services.
Steve

I think the app GroupMe might do what you want. You might also try contacting your carrier. My carrier offered some fancy group texting service for a while but they never really advertised it so, unless you asked, you never would have known. But, GroupMe is available in the app store. There are lots of other apps that also do group texting but it seems to be the one that gets recommended the most.

How can I see in my address book all contaacts that have not been placed into groups?

How can I see in my address book the contacts that have not been put into groups?

The best way to do that is create a new "smart group" with the following:
This way you can identify those without a group and drag them to one.
