How to plan in characteristic based forecast in BOM level

Hi experts,
How to plan in characteristic based forecast in BOM level
Can explain me elaborate about this.

Hi Harsh,
Remember that the tree table is a Master-Detail relationship between VO. So in your case, you are applying a VO Criteria to your Master, wich will allow you to filter data a Master Level. If you want to filter the Child VO, you need to create a ViewCriteria for it and apply it in your AM -> YourMaster -> YourChild VO :: Edit -> Shuttle the VC to the right.
But following this approach the Filter you use in the ChildVO, will be applied to all Childs independently of the MasterVO.
Hope it is clearer now, but let me know if you need more help or if you think I didn't understand your main issue.

  • Characteristic based planning

    Dear all,
    what is Pcharacteristic based planning* in SAP, and in what are the main advantages of this planning.
    Thanks in Advacne
    Regards
    raj.

    Characteristic based planning is used when you are employing the variant configurator and are performing forecasting. Trying to keep the explanation as simple as possible, a KMAT (configurable material) will contain characteristics which can have different values selected when ordered on a sales document - such as an automobile where color is a characteristic. What characteristics planning does is provide a means to specify what % of the time a particular characteristic value is chosen. In the auto example, you would specify how often the auto is sold in the color red, etc. When you have a forecast in Demand Management at the KMAT level, these values are used in simulated planning, employing any object dependencies you have included in your BOMs and routings. In our auto example, it would help determine the labor hours and component materials that are needed for red automobiles, taking the percentage value in characteristics planning into consideration.
    Very complex topic to discuss in a message thread. Hope this helps provide a quick, high level view.

  • How to configure for the give senario where we from APO demand planning, we provide baseline forecast into TPM

    Hello Guru's,
    Request for information on smart documentation on the integration between Trade Promotion Management and SCM-Demand Planning from an architecture perspective how to configure for the give senario where we from APO demand planning, we provide baseline forecast into TPM and from TPM promotions values can be considered in to APO demand planning: can anybody give me some insight on it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kumar

    Hi Praveen
    There are several ways you can connect a DP system to a TPM. How are your interfaces and systems setup?
    Option1:
    Extract the baseline from APO to a BW cube, extract the data out of BW, may be using infospokes/open hub and pass it on to TPM.
    2. Have a custom program written in APO-DP to extract the selected keyfigure data at the aggregation level into an interface or a .txt file into APO directory and use some data transfer service such as EDI to take this data and send to TPM.
    In my experience it is simple to define an integration process. The much larger and complicated aspects are the date adjustments and the aggregation levels.
    Date adjustments:
    Understand the basis of the data in APO and TPM. APO is usually at the requested delivery date or material availability date ( when the customer like a store wants the product). However TPMs are usually at the consumption date ( when an end customer like you and me but from store shelf). Depending on the product and business style this can mean several days difference. Let's say it is 25 days on average, you need to add 25 days to APO base line date to get the TPM consumption date.
    Aggregation level:
    This can be product or customer. If the planning in DP is at product sku level and the TPM is at packs or brand level, you need to aggregate the data up before loading to TPM. The same with customer.
    To me the most complex part of the integration is to understand and transform the data in a meaningful way and a strategy to sustain this integration by keeping both DP and TPM in sync in terms of master data. Also important to have a process for identifying exceptions and failures. you send baseline from DP to TPM and if it fails, how do you know? how do you trouble shoot?
    Hope these help.

  • Planning version in Characteristic Based Planning?

    What is the use of planning version in Characteristic Based Planning?

    Hi Lawrence
    Might be completely out of box idea.
    If I understood correctly, you want to have this visibility mainly for planner to aware them which version data they are accessing. You could create separate data views for each version and also restrict by authorization.
    Once you different versions, you can rename them with versions for example data view name could include version like SNP 104 Weeks (000) and SNP 104 weeks (simulation).
    Hope this could help the purpose.
    Thanks

  • DP BOm forecasting and Characteristics based forecasting

    Have anyone implemented DP BOM forecasting and Characterstics based forecasting at the same time in the same planning area/POS?  If so, can you please provide instructions /documentation on how you are able to do that?
    (The version of SCM/APO DP we are using is 4 .1)

    Thanks for the response, however I already know about the SAP help guide. The help guide does not answer my question at all that is why I posted this question.
    When I try to turn on both CBF and BOM forecasting, the radio button of either one get's greyed out when I select the other one. However if I un-select the added characteristrics remains and then if I select the other option, it adds the new charactersitics associated with that function.
    My question is whether you can implement (turn on) both CBF and BOm forecasting at the same time .
    Has anyone tried this as well or have implemented both functions in the same planning area?

  • Demand (not consumption) based Forecasting

    Hi SDNers,
    In 4.7 standard SAP without APO, we have consumption based forecasting.  We need forecasting to be DEmand based so it forcasts based on sales orders, both open and closed.
    How is this possible to setup please?
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi DB49,
    Yes you are correct: I am talking about the key figures from which your forecast is derived. We do "not" want to use the past issues (consumption) as a key figure, and "do" need to use demand/requirements (Sales orders, both open and closed) as a key figure.
    Apologies for my not clearly defining the issue earlier.  I was alwalys told SAP standard forecasting used only consumption to derive the forecast - really hope this is not true as we must now use actual sales orders to derive the forecast numbers.  Unfortuntly, I do not know how to accomplish this change.
    We do not use S&OP: currently run Forecast (RMPROG00) then Copy Forecast (RM60FORC) monthly, which passes to Independant requirements, which is then planned by MPS and finally MRP.  We run MPS and MRP on different days by plant.
    Most of our materials are MRP Types M0, M1, PD, using MRP Group 0040, with many different Lot size groupings. For the most part, we do not use Strategy Groups.
    We forecast at the parent and component levels, mostly at the parent level.
    Hope this helps - please let me know if you need any more info or if I did not clearly state our processes.
    Thanks again for your help!! Really appreciate your time and knowledge sharing.

  • How to change datasource name based on the partition in configplan

    Hi
    Can any one please give me some solutions regarding how to change datasource name based on the partition in
    configplan.
    can't we do this in configuration plan?

    If you want to change template based on parameter. you have to use below syntax
    v_layout boolean
    V_LAYOUT:= FND_SUBMIT.add_layout(template_appl_name => 'SQLAP' -- application short name
    ,template_code => 'HUBAPAPN' -- template name
    ,template_language => 'en'
    ,template_territory => '00'
    ,output_format => 'PDF');
    Above can be used in plsql stored procedure before submitting Concurrent Program (Bi Publisher report) or may be you can try to add this code in Oracle reports after report or before report trigger
    Thanks

  • Preventive Maintenance Order is not releasing as per scheduled Planning in Counter Based Plan

    Hi Experts
    In The below schenario
    There is a  counter based maintenance plan. of strategy 100 km,200 km,...1800 km..
    Operaton1,  Operation2,... Operation3... defined in maintenance package for 100 km, 200 km,.... respectively.
    Now issue is that system is releasing order as per sequence of scheduled planing & not according to schedule of current counter reading of counter.
    case:  At 200km order 1 is released with operation1 only, logicaly system should release order with operation1, & operation2
              same like that at 300 km, system has released order with op1 & op2, logicaly system should release order with operation1, & operation3 as per strategy defined in maintenance plan.
    In the present condition, what we have to do to get the desired result like for next counter reading of 400 KM system should release order with op1, & op4.
    Best Regards
    Pravin Gautam

    1st order is getting generated by 100 KM. While doing Preventive Maintenance, vehicle will not have any movements so that counter reading at the completion should as same as 100 KM.
    I am not clear how & why you entered 200 KM for completion of PM order.
    Also, if you complete the 1st Preventive Maintenance at 200 KM, from there only system should calculate the next order. Its not Time based as this will come automatically with predefined frequency. Your plan is Performance based & system will act according to the completion of previous Preventive Maintenance.
    I don't find any reason to change behavior which is correct. I am not convinced with the development which is giving wrong details to the business.

  • How to do forecasting with BOM

    Dear All,
    I am doing process --forecasting with BOM.
    Any one help me .. what is the process & steps involved in this scenario???
    When i am trying to create  Master planning object structure , select tick DP with BOM.
    But some std. key fig on comming.. like -- 9ABOMID.9ABOMIO...How to Do that???
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pankaj.

    DP BOM relevant indicator will automatically add the characteristics 9AMATNR, 9ABOMID, 9ABOMIO, and 9APPMNAME to the master planning object structure. You can add any other characteristics that are required....  you need these char to do forecasting with BOMs

  • "CLOSED":How to plan inventory from multiple orgs simultaneously using MRP?

    Hello everybody,
    How to plan inventory from multiple organizations simultaneously using SCP?
    My customer found that in supply chain planning (MRP) system always plans in single manufacturing organization, say, ATC, firstly. If set in organization item master, the source type as 'Inventory' and the source organization as another trading organization name, say, ANX. if there is insufficient inventory in ATC, SCP-MRP would plan in ANX, disregard of the inventory exist in ANX for the item.
    But for some items, there are both inventory in ATC and ANX and we want plan BOTH their inventory simultaneously instad of firstly ATC and then ANX.
    Is there any standard function in Oracle that can do so? I found that the sourcing rule cannot help in this case.
    A simple test case is described in
    https://gtcr.oracle.com/gtcr-dir/gtcr_4607/5580425.992/Alternative_to_plan_multi-org_MRP.doc
    Thanks

    Catalina,
    Net the inventory simultaneously? Its not quite clear what your client wants.
    Even in the old SCP, you can use sourcing rules to first net inventory in org1 and then net the inventory in org 2 via a transfer from rule. The key point is it is always incremental based on where you place teh demand and then you provide source to fill that demand.
    One restriction that ASCP still has up to 11.5.10 is that you can only have sourcing rules going in one direction. This means that you can't have a rule that sources ORG1 from ORG2 for item A, then have the revers in ORG2 sourcing from ORG1. That won't work, ASCP will randomly ignore one of the rules.
    The best choice may be to use GOP with a sourcing split % so that yo do consider the inventory in both orgs when demanding the order, but it would still be done by checking ORG1 then ORG2.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to create a report based on a DataSet programatically

    I'm working on a CR 2008 Add-in.
    Usage of this add-in is: Let the user choose from a list of predefined datasets, and create a totally empty report with this dataset attached to is. So the user can create a report based on this dataset.
    I have a dataset in memory, and want to create a new report in cr2008.
    The new report is a blank report (with no connection information).
    If I set the ReportDocument.SetDataSource(Dataset dataSet) property, I get the error:
    The report has no tables.
    So I must programmatically define the table definition in my blank report.
    I found the following article: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/869, and came up with something like this:
    internal class NewReportWorker : Worker
          public NewReportWorker(string reportFileName)
             : base(reportFileName)
    public override void Process()
             DatabaseController databaseController = ClientDoc.DatabaseController;
             Table table = new Table();
             string tabelName = "Table140";
             table.Name = tabelName;
             table.Alias = tabelName;
             table.QualifiedName = tabelName;
             table.Description = tabelName;
             var fields = new Fields();
             var dbField = new DBField();
             var fieldName = "ID";
             dbField.Description = fieldName;
             dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
             dbField.Name = fieldName;
             dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
             fields.Add(dbField);
             dbField = new DBField();
             fieldName = "IDLEGITIMATIEBEWIJS";
             dbField.Description = fieldName;
             dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
             dbField.Name = fieldName;
             dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
             fields.Add(dbField);
             // More code for more tables to add.
             table.DataFields = fields;
             //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo info =
             //   new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
             //info.Attributes.Add("Databse DLL", "xxx.dll");
             //table.ConnectionInfo = info;
             // Here an error occurs.
             databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
             ReportDoc.SetDataSource( [MyFilledDataSet] );
             //object path = @"d:\logfiles\";
             //ClientDoc.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
    The object ClientDoc referes to a ISCDReportClientDocument in a base class:
       internal abstract class Worker
          private ReportDocument _ReportDoc;
          private ISCDReportClientDocument _ClientDoc;
          private string _ReportFileName;
          public Worker(string reportFileName)
             _ReportFileName = reportFileName;
             _ReportDoc = new ReportDocument();
             // Load the report from file path passed by the designer.
             _ReportDoc.Load(reportFileName);
             // Create a RAS Document through In-Proc RAS through the RPTDoc.
             _ClientDoc = _ReportDoc.ReportClientDocument;
          public string ReportFileName
             get
                return _ReportFileName;
          public ReportDocument ReportDoc
             get
                return _ReportDoc;
          public ISCDReportClientDocument ClientDoc
             get
                return _ClientDoc;
    But I get an "Unspecified error" on the line databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
    What am i doing wrong? Or is there another way to create a new report based on a DataSet in C# code?

  • HOW TO CREATE A DFF BASED ON ORGANIZATION

    Hi,
    I want to create a DFF which would have 5 different context values, i want 2 of them to be available in one organization and other 3 in other organization, how i can achieve this.
    Regards,
    Usman.

    Hello,
    "HOW TO CREATE A DFF BASED ON ORGANIZATION"
    1- I will create a customized table having two columns one is for context name and other is for org_id,
    2- then i will create a value set on this table and will use this on 'Value Set' field on 'Descriptive Flexfield Segments' window.
    3- In the where clause of this value set i will pass org_id from profile $PROFILES$.ORG_ID,
    4- this will restrict the context based on org_id And user will only have context related to there org
    I have successfully achieved the above requirment.
    Find below the restriction you should follow so that Value set is available in LOVs on "Descriptive Flexfield Segments" window:
    Value sets used for context fields must obey certain restrictions or they will not be available to use in the Value Set field in the Context Field region of the Descriptive
    Flexfield Segments window:
    • Format Type must be Character (Char)
    • Numbers Only must not be checked (alphabetic characters are allowed)
    • Uppercase Only must not be checked (mixed case is allowed)
    • Right-justify and Zero-fill Numbers must not be checked
    • Validation Type must be Independent or Table
    If the validation type is Independent:
    • the value set maximum size must be less than or equal to 30
    If the validation type is Table:
    • the ID Column must be defined, it must be Char or Varchar2 type, and its size must
    be less than or equal to 30. The ID column corresponds to the context field value
    code (the internal, non-translated context field value).
    • the Value Column must be defined, it must be Char or Varchar2 type, and its size
    must be less than or equal to 80. The Value column corresponds to the context field
    value name (the displayed context field value).
    • the value set maximum size must be less than or equal to 80
    All context field values (the code values) you intend to use must exist in the value set. If
    you define context field values in the Context Field Values block of the Descriptive
    Flexfield Segments window that do not exist in the context field value set, they will be
    ignored, even if you have defined context-sensitive segments for them.
    Best Regards,
    Usman.

  • How to create a record based on the name of a file in the file-system?

    Hi,
    With a lot of pictures I want to have a database to gather some information about these pictures.
    First question is how to generate a record based on a file in the file system?
    e.g. the pictures are "c:\fotos\2009\01\disc_001.jpg" to "c:\foto\2009\01\dis_98.jpg" .
    now i want to create records with as one of the attributes the name of the picture (not the picture itself). how to create these records (based on the information of the file-ssytem). i.e. the number of records should be the same as the number of pictures.
    any suggestions?
    any reaction will be appreciated.

    You can create a list of files in the directory and read the list files from that directory.
