How to manually enter forcast/demand in SNP Planning Book

Hi experts,
Kindly help me there are two questions on my mind. First
1. How to create manually forecast in SNP planning book? and also in RRP3? (if the product is in house it automatically creates planned order, if externally procured PREQ but how about forecast using product view?
2. If the forecast is in the past but I want to upload that in the SNP Planning book?
Even if I change the period structure date it does not reflect the past dates in the planning book. Since the planning book of SNP is standard how am I be able to change the planning book time bucket start date.
Thanks and Best Regards!!!!

Hi,
in /SAPAPO/SJKTST04 you set the type of order FCST, then you planning area and version, keyfigure to populate (your forecast keyfigure, probably 9ADFCST), the order type (usually FA)
In the details you set product, date to start, in horizon - the number of orders to create, if you set 10, you'll get 10 orders starting from your start date).
Unfortunately through here, you gan create orders with fixed quantity only and also for only one product/location combination.
If you already have DP available, even for testing I find it more easy to release forecast from there.
For your second question - at least for 4.1 (I don't have a 5.0 system to check) you cannot have past dates in a column other than "Initial"
Hope that helps,
br,
Mikhail

How can you block production for a specific product in SNP planning book

Hi All,
Looking for a way to manually indicate a decision to prevent production in a specific cell for a product in the SNP planning book utilizing the supply planning and capacity leveling heuristics. For this requirement the resource would have available capacity during that time period. It also could plan other products in that time period. The requirement is for a planner to manually go into the planning book to somehow indicate that the heuristic should not consider that time period as available for a specific product, while still leaving the resource available for other products.
Has anyone run into this before? Any experience on how to stop a heurisitc from considering a specific time bucket for a specific product as available for orders?
Thanks
-Mike

Hello Mike,
I haven't tried it yet myself but I kow that there is the option in the Planning Book to manually fix several periods for a specific location product. This will prevent the heuristic from planning these periods for the specified product. For details please have a look in the Online Help for SNP under key word "Order Fixing".

Demand on VC material not visible in SNP planning book

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to plan VC (Variant Configuration ) materials in SNP at the group level ?
I will explain the scenario more in details below
I have an VC material say X. Material X has end product Y attached to it (material variant). When material X is cifed to APO, it appears as configurable product in APO & is a top level product. Now when I create a demand on material X through DP, the demand appears in product view (RRP3). However the demand does not appear in the SNP planning book nor it gets selected during background planning run. The system is configured as Variant Configuration & not CDP.
Is it possible to plan material X in SNP ? If possible how can the demand be read in SNP ?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
One of the limitations of Characteristics Based Forecasting is, CBF results can only be used in PPDS and not in SNP, hence it is not possible to plan that material X in SNP. Even though you use MC90 transaction which is release DP to SNP, but the data will not be available in SNP
That material X will be planned only in PPDS, there are two ways to plan, those are
1. one way is by releasing CBF results to active version using MC90 transaction, during this release, you should maintain consumption group in release settings and in product master, in this case you have to use Forecast Check/Allocation check as a part of ATP/GATP, here you can not use CTP or MATP
2.the other way is by releasing CBF results to inactive version using MC90 transaction, during this release you should not define consumption groups, generate the dependent requirements in inactive verison using heuristics in PPDS , and convert dependent requirements from inactive version to Forecast - active version using /SAPAPO/DMP2 transaction, in this case you can use MATP/CTP as a part of GATP

How to create a custom Button in a SNP planning book

Hi Experts,
I created my own Planning Book and Dataview in SNP with 3 Key Figures: KF1, KF2, KF3. Now I want to create one my own button with Macro so that when I press that button, the Macro will run to calculate: KF3 = KF1 + KF2.
I know that I can drag this Macro to one of default events like: Default, Level Change, Start. But actually, I want to create my own button so that I can handle the event as I want.
My question are:
1. How to create a custom button on the toolbar of SNP Planning book and writing macro for the button?
2. Please give me any document, material teaching about writing macro and relating to my above scenario.
Thanks very much!

Hi,
Access the transaction "/n/sapapo/advm". In the list select your planning book/ data view and click 'Start Macro Builder' button.
In the Macro builder screen, drag and drop your macro from Macro depot to the work area.
Right click on your macro name and select 'properties'. In the pop up, next to the Assigned Push button field, there is a button 'Choose'. Click that. It will display all the available icons. In standard system, it displays more than 1000 icon. Choose any one icon which is suitable for your macro function. Close the pop up and save the macro. This will assign a push button to your macro.
In the Planning book tool bar, you can see the selected icon in the header tool bar. Just by clicking that icon, you can execute the macro interactively.
And I don't know whether we can include/design our own icon. But there are already 1000+ standard icons to choose.

Purchase requisition date in SNP planning book and product view not in sync

Hello Experts,
We have an issue with display of purchase requisition date in SNP planning book.
We are manually entering the PR's for a perticular week from Monday - Sunday(01.09.2014- 07.09.2014), when the last PR is entered on 07.09.2014, it does not appear on the same day in planning book(cell becomes empty) and moves to 06.09.2014, thus quantity on 06.09.2014 is the summation of the quantities present on 06th and 07th.
The PR dates are appearing correct when we click on display details in planning book and they are correct in product view, MD04 as well.
Additionally, this is the same date on which daylight saving time comes into effect.
Kindly advise if anyone has faced similar situation earlier.
Many thanks,
Aditi

Hi Aditi,
Check the time zone that you have in your location in ECC and APO.
Also note it is recommended that you maintain the same system time zone in APO and in ECC. (check tcode STZAC in both systems).
Different time zones should generate this kind of inconsistencies.
Kind Regards,
Mariano

Capacity Consumption in SNP planning book

Hello,
Can anyone explain what drives the calculation of capacity consumption KF in the planning book.
Here is the example.
1) I have a Resource whose SNP bucket capacity of 90,000/Hr = 450000/Wk
2) I created a PP/DS PPM for one product from ECC and then converted it to a SNP PPM
3) There was no resource assignment in the SNP PPM. I then manaully assigned the resource (in step 1) to the PPM.
4) The material consumption on the SNP PPM is 37 per HR
5) The variable bucket consumption on the resource within the SNP PPM is 1 per hr.
Now I created a planned order of 4440 for the finished product in the SNP planning book manually (behind the scenes the heuristic run was carried out obviously).
On my capacity view, the values i see are:
Available capacity = 450000/Week (which is clear since its 90,000 * 5 days/week)
Capacity Conusmption = 6845
Resource capacity level in % = 1.521 (which is 6845/450000 * 100).
The only question is how is the Capacity Conusmption value populated by a value of 6845?
Please provide me your input gurus.
Thx,
Vishy
The idea is to create oneresource and assign it to multiple SNP PPMs so that the capacity situation on this resource for various products could be analysed.)

SNP - Planning Book/Data View not showing up in /SAPAPO/SNP94

Hi All:
I created a planning Book out of a custom SNP planning area. While I could see the Planning Book in the list of Planning Book in the /SAPAPO/SDP94 - Interactive Supply Network Planning (all Books) I could not see the custom planning book in /SAPAPO/SDP94 - Interactive Supply Network Planning (all Books) . I could ony see the SAP supplied PB there. Will SDP94 transaction display only the standard SNP Planning book? How can I make sure that the custom PB is displaed in /SAPAPO/SDP94?
pl. help
Thanks

Hi Narayanan,
a couple of simple checks..
can you please check that you have not set a filter critera in the shuffler in planning book/data view?
you can also check if by mistake only a limited number of users are assigned to this planning book and data view ?

Show Sales orders, STOs, & Deliveires in SNP planning book by Shipping Poin

We are using ECC 6.0 and SCM 7.0.
We have a requirement to model the Shipping point as a location in SNP. By this functionality we want to show Sales orders, STOs, & Deliveires in SNP planning book by Shipping Point in addition to Delivering Plant which is default now.
When I create Sales Orders in ECC system always perform shipping point determination and passon to APO per schedule line via CIF. These Sales Orders always show up in SNP under delivering plant/location. We also want to show them under Shipping Point location.
Here is what I have done so far:
1. I have created a CIF integration model for all required shipping points and CIFed over to APO. These locations are showing up in SNP planning book.
2. I have created Sales Orders and verified the shipping points are determined correctly and sent Sales Orders to APO successfully.
3. I see all the Sales Orders in SNP planning book at delivering plant/location.
4. But I don't see any sales orders under shipping point. They also don't show in RRP3 screen.
5. If I create a forecast in RRP3 at Shipping Point location they show-up in SNP planning book at Shipping point location.
Any idea how to model shipping points in SNP for planning?

check what the ATP order type is of these orders are (from RRP3)
then check what ATP group these order types are assigned to (from SPRO)
then in the SNP Planning are make sure the Keyfigure you want to see them in refers to the ATP group from above
Which planning book are you using? Is it a standard book/ copy of a standard book? What KF are you expecting to see it under... the standard book has KF for planned production that will be same as your PPDS planned orders

Unit Of Measure Conversion in the SNP Planning Book

I have a problem in (a copy of ) the standard SNP Planning Book 9ASNP94.
I often need to view data in different units of measure however, but would like to avoid having to set up multiple Planning Areas. I know how to change the Unit Of Measure on my User Settings and for specific Selection IDs however, the conversions only ever work for a single Location/Product combination. As soon as I select 2 Products, the Key Figures all revert back to the Planning Area UoM.
Is there anyway round this or do I have to create new Planning Areas? If so, what are the issues in running multiple Planning Areas - does this cause performance problems?

Hi
My feeling is when you do conversion on aggregated level(multiple products), if any of the product has UOM missing then you coversion fails on aggregted level.
It looks strange that UOM conversion looks fine when you do conversion on each product.
I suggest you to check whether the UOMs (that you want to convert)are updated correctly on each product on their repective location in the product master under UOM tab.

Vijaya.

Transport of SNP planning book resulted in inconsistency

Hi
We recently added a new standard key figure to the SNP planning book in DEV system and Transported it to QA and PROD.
The issue now we are facing is the Time Bucket (TB) forward profile appears to show the time buckets in a daily format as against weekly bucket that existed before the Transport.
Is it essential to always transport the entire planning book each time we add a Keyfigure ?
will this situation even apply to macros etc.
The question now arises is IF multiple people are working on same planning book to add, delete or update items of the planning book, how do we separate them in different transport requests when each time planning book has to be transported.
Also I would like to find out any change logs to make sure changes exist before transporting a planning book ?

Hi
It looks like the setup of your Resource Master Data.
SNP Rough Cut Planning uses Bucket Capacities, so your resources would need to have a Bucket Dimension (Therefore single-Mixed, Multi-mixed or Bucket types)
This Dimension will also need to be maintained. As a guess I would say that you hve some resources which are multi-mixed, they have a Continuous Dimanesion assigned of Time (AAAADL) in the "Time Continuous" Tab and the "SNP Bucket" Tab has a Bucket Definition set to "From Continuous" e.g. gets the same values as the time-continuous calculation. Somewhere amongst your 6 resources, one or two of them are set up differently to this. Worth starting off checking that all the resources are set up the same way here.

Stock not in SNP Planning Book

Hi
We are doing a global implementation and we have seen the issue where stock exists in live cache, and is correctly considered in SNP Heuristics, but the stock on hand is not displayed in the SNP planning book.
This is NOT an issue with the stock category, as the same stock category is displayed for Poland and the UK locations.
This is leading me to think this might be a time zone issue?
What possible reasons can people think of where stock of the CC category is in live cache but not displayed in the SNP planning book. But another plant location is performing correctly for CC stock.
S SB

I have answered my own issue. The stock on hand macro is initial stock + Receipts - Demands.
Deployment is running in the evening and pushing out the stock, the day rolls over to the next day and then the deployment STR demand is considered history and as per the above formula is netting off the stock.
This is a symptom of running the SNP run in the evening, not at 00.01am. (Deployment STRs of stock are instantly in the past) which then affects the stock on hand balance.
Hope that is clear to anyone else having this issue.
Simon.

Meaning of CONDET key figure in standard 9ASNP94 APO SNP planning book

I am trying to clarify the use and meaning of the CONDET (capacity consumption details) key figure in the SAP standard SNP planning book 9ASNP94.
Any advice appreciated...

Hi Frank,
This indeed is practical requirement wih no simple solution ( at least we did not find).
We created a background job for deletion of the stocks ( which were updated through IDOCs like your situation) at specific periodicity. The jobs were made as per planners with specific variants and when planner would like to delete the stocks, the job will be run.
Another option could to be copy the standard program /SAPAPO/RLCDELETE to a module program and check validation at the input screen, before calling the deletion program.

Process orders not reflecting in SNP planning book

Hi,
I am facing a problem here that the SNP planned orders once converted into process orders in ECC are not reflecting in the SNP planning book.
However if i check the /sapapo/rrp3 product view, the process orders are visible here.
Kindly help me understand if i am missing out something here.
Thanks,
Nalin

Hi,
Please Check whether the ATP category is assigned to the Category group which is assigned to KF in the planning.
If that is assigned rightly then run TS cons check.

User are getting kicked out of SNP planning book

Hello Experts
I hope you can help me out here!
From time to time we are experiencing strange issue for SNP user's .. User are getting kicked out from SNP planning book
Please help us.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
As far as I know, users should not get kicked out unless someone terminates their session.
Even if they lock some data and the same data is needed by some job, it's the job that would fail showing data lock. Similarly, if some other uses tries to access the locked data, the user who is accessing later would face the issue of not being able to go to edit mode.
It's possible to write programs that could specifically do this work of kicking out users before we run batch jobs, but let me assume that this is not the case with you.
One possibility is that there is issue in livecache and so users are not able to access livecache or get kicked out from their active session (e.g. your log area gets full, then users would soon get kicked out after seeing the system hanging initially). This you would need to check at the time when users face issue. This would also mean that other processes that need livecache should also fail e.g. GATP, or SNP planning or PPDS planning related jobs would fail at the same time.
If you could share exactly what error message the users are seeing, that could be helpful in resolving the issue.
Thanks - Pawan
