Issue in capturing in transit in SNP interactive planning book

Hi,
We are facing issue in capturing in trasit in SNP interactive planning book.
We are using standard planning area ( 9ASNP02) on which we have build up planning book which is copy of standard planning book. Earlier standard planning area was containing key figure 9AITRAN(in transit)attached to category group (IT1) which contained categories AH, EI.
As intransit was coming under category CS we added category in category group IT1. After adding it the intransit is not visble in planning book in key figure in transit but when we checking details of cell the value is present with start and end date as 01.01.1970 where as in RRP3 view intransit is present under current date.
Before additing category CS in IT1 group the intransit was not coming but now after adding category also the in transit is not visible in cell but present in detail view with wrong dates.
Regards,
Vrushali.

HI,
Stock in transit keyfigure will display only EI orders (incase of VMI
scenario) and AH orders (if you create inbound delivery).
If you integrate stock,CS orders only will be available in /sapapo/RRP3.
The root of the problem is in the setting from Intransit key figure:
from a planning area management point of view it reflects
the setting used in the standard SNP planning area but the customizing
of the category group used there is different from the one used in
standard systems.
Actually you added category CS there. But category CS has a atp category
type 0, which means stocks actually. In the SNP planning books by design
stocks are read separately from other orders because have to be
considered in the ATD computation.
Therefore if you need to read orders with category CS you should
consider it in the category group assigned to the ATD receipts key
figure and to the stock key figure.
This customizing could be applied at the planning area level, as
described above or at the master location level, SNP tab.
In this case you can specify there the category groups which have to be
used in order to consider stocks, ATD receipts and ATD issues about all
products assigned to the used master location. Please refer to the
related F1 helps in order to get more information about.
You can get more information at note 591310.

I am not able to resolve it. can u please guide me.
Thank you very much in advance

Hi Sandeep,
When you saved the file using the "Save locally" functionality in the Interactive Planning transaction, did you choose the option "Prepare file for upload at a later time" ? You have to choose that option so that an upload later will work.
Also, please check out OSS note Note "925933 - Interactive Planning Excel up/download corrections".

Delete Planning Book

Hi All,
I created planning area and planning books for testing. Since they were not required anymore I decided to delete all. I assumed that when I delete planning area it deletes planning book as well. but that did not happen. Now planning area is deleted but i still see planning book in interactive planning.
Please let me know how do I delete this planning book since when try using standard planning book T code to delete it give me error message " planning area does not exists"
Regards,
Harshil Desai

Thanks all for your response.
@ Aparna: When you delete planning area system deletes all dependent objects like planning book/data view.
In my case when I deleted planning area, system did not delete planning books because planning book/data view was locked by status "change by author only".
@ Rajesh: Awarding full points for hint. I could have delete the record completely but I took different rout be changing user name in table entry for respective planning book and then I deleted planning book from standard planning book transaction.

ATD Check Issue in creation TLB Order Manually in Planning Book.

Hi ,
I am facing issue in ATD Check in TLB Interactive Planning while creating TLB Order Manually.
Here goes scenario.
I am creating TLB Order Manually in TLB Planning Book with below Information.
Demand Date u2013 02.01.2012 ( Todayu2019s date ) & Qty u2013 20
Considering Lead Time of 10 Days to supply from Plant to Depot, Delivery Date in Purchase Order is calculated as 12.01.2012
Now I do outbound delivery for this PO in ECC. As client is not using Routes Transit Times functionalities, Planned Goods Issue Date for Outbound Delivery in ECC is calculated as Delivery Date from PO which is 12.01.2012 minus Transit Time in Route which is maintained as 0. Hence Planned Goods Issue Date in ECC is 12.01.2012.
This is same as Requirement Date for Outbound Delivery. PGI for this delivery is yet to happen. When PGI is done then issue is resolved.
When this Delivery goes in APO, it has requirement date as 12.01.2012 and now when I create TLB Order in Interactive Planning Book manually it allows me to create TLB Order of 20 qty extra before populating below message
u201CThere is only an ATD quantity of XXX available for product GHECP02u201D
In short it allows me to create 20 extra PO as Outbound Delivery is shifted to future bucketu2019s and hence is not counted in ATD Issues.
I am using Daily Bucket Profile in TLB Planning Book.
If I use Monthly Bucket Profile my issue is solved but again when client is creating TLB Order , by default system picks first date of bucket which client does not want.
Is there any way where in I can avoid this excess PO Creation. When it checks ATD Availability it should consider these outbound deliveries which are of future dates.
Regards,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
Such kind of issues would come when master data/transaction data in APO and R/3 are not in sync.
You could go in for some custom development for TLB orders, but it's like opening a pandora's box as you are messing with teh standard working of system. It could create data inconsistencies between APO and R/3 and I would not really advise this. It's best to maintain all the relevant master data/transaction between APO and R/3 in sync.
Better ask your client to maintain the relevant routes as required. Otherwise they should create PO directly in R/3 as required.
Thanks - Pawan

I have many broken links while I try to know it by myself.

Hi amitabha,
Please find below the detailed steps to define a planning book:
A planning book defines the content and the layout of the interactive planning screen. Planning books are used in Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning. They allow you to design the screen to suit individual planning tasks. A planning book is based on a planning area. You can create several user-specific data views in a planning book. In this step, you create a planning book for Demand Planning.
Procedure
1.     Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
SAP SCM menu     Advanced Planning and Optimization  Demand Planning  Environment  Current settings  Define Planning Book
Transaction code     /SAPAPO/SDP8B
2.     Enter the planning book DP_001 and choose Create.
The Planning Book Wizard dialog box is displayed.
3.     Make the following entries:
Field name     User action and values
Planning Book     Enter the planning book DP_001
Planning book text     Demand Planning
Planning area     Select the planning area DP_001 and choose Enter
Manual Proportion Maintenance     X
Promotion     X
Univariate forecast     X
4.     Choose Continue.
5.     Assign the following key figures from planning area to the planning book by using drag and drop or choose Add all new Key Figures to add all key figures:
Description     Value     Comment
History     9AVHISTORY     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Forecast     9ADFCST     Relevant for Scenario MTS and VMI
Promotion 1     9APROM1     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Forecast (addition.)     9AAFCST     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Planned Price     9APRICEFC     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Sales Forecast     9AREVFC     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Production (Planned)     9APPROD     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Manual Correction     9AMANUP     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Additional Field 1     9AADDKF1     Relevant for Scenario VMI
Additional Field 2     9AADDKF2     Relevant for Scenario VMI
Additional Field 3     9AADDKF3     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Additional Field 4     9AADDKF4     Relevant for Scenario MTS
Additional Field 5     9AADDKF5     Relevant for Scenario MTS
The Proportional factor APODPDANT key figure is automatically added to your planning area when you create the planning area. You do not have to add this key figure yourself and assign it to the planning book in this step. When you create the respective view, this key figure will be automatically there for your selection.
6.     Choose Continue.
7.     Assign the following characteristics from the planning area to the planning book by using drag and drop:
Description     Value
APO Location     9ALOCNO
APO Product     9AMATNR
Brand     9ABRAND
Sales Organization     9AVKORG
APO Destination Loc.     9ALOCTO
     The characteristic 9AVERSION (APO Planning Version) will be added to the planning book automatically after you complete this step.
9.     Choose Continue to go to the Data View tab (the Key Fig. Attrib tab is available in the change mode only after you have completed the planning book).
10.     On the Data view tab; enter the following values:
Field name     User action (Scenario MTS)     User action (Scenario VMI)
Data view     DP_Standard     VMI_Standard
Data view description     Demand Planning     Demand Planning
TB profile ID (future)     DP_4Weeks_5Month     DP_4Weeks_5Month
TB profile ID (history)     DP_12Month     DP_12Month
Status     3 (Changeable)     3 (Changeable)
11.     Choose Enter.
12.     Select Visible and select the date as of which you wish the past planning horizon to be visible when this data view is opened.
13.     Choose Continue, and assign the following key figures from the planning book to the data view for either the MTS or the VMI scenario, keeping the same order as in the table:
Make-to-Stock
Key Figures      Description
9AVHISTORY     History
9ADFCST     Forecast
9APROM1     Promotion 1
9AAFCST     Forecast (additional)

Vendor-Managed Inventory
Key Figures      Description
9AADDKF1     Additional Field 1
9AADDKF2     Additional Field 2
9ADFCST     Forecast
14.     Choose Complete.
15.     When the Planning Wizard prompt appears, choose Yes to complete the planning book and data view.
16.     On the initial screen, change the planning book you have just created by choosing Edit.
17.     If you are installing the VMI scenario, continue with step 21 (entering a free text for the key figures).
If you are installing the Make-to-Stock scenario, repeat steps 9 to 12 to create the following views:
Views     View Description     Key Figures
DP_CLP     COLLABORATIVE DEMAND PLANNING
          History
          Forecast
          Forecast (additional)
DP_RELEASE     DEMAND PLANNING - RELEASE VIEW
          Manual Correction
18.     On the Data View tab page, specify the following TB profile IDs for the DP_RELEASE view,
Field name     User action and values
TB profile ID (future)     DP_12Month
TB profile ID (history)     blank
19.     Create the remaining views for the Make-to-Stock scenario according to the steps 9-12:
Views     View Description     Key Figures
DP_LOGISTICS     DEMAND PLANNING - LOGISTICS VIEW
          Forecast
          Production (Planned)
DP_SALES     DEMAND PLANNING - SALES VIEW
          History
          Forecast
          Forecast (addition.)
          Planned Price
          Sales Forecast
          Manual Correction
DP_PROP     DEMAND PLANNING - PROPORTIONAL FACTOR VIEW     Proportional Factor
To modify the proportional factors manually, you need to create a separate data view containing only the APODPDANT key figure to control the authorization to change these factors. This key figure is a default value in the view and is thus invisible, so you do not need to assign any key figure from the right list in this view.
20.     Choose Complete.
21.     Go to the Key fig. attributes tab, select the FreeText radio button and make the following entries for each key figure. Choose Save Setting after entering the data for each key figure (depending on your scenario).
Key Figures     Free Text     Relevant for scenario

Steps to create macros in macro wrokbench:
3.7     Creating Macros (SAP APO)
Use
You can use advanced macros to perform complex calculations quickly and easily. Macros are executed either directly by the user or automatically at a predefined point in time. When defining advanced macros, you work in a special desktop environment known as the MacroBuilder.
In total, four macros are created in the Demand Planning building block. They are all defined for the planning book DP_001. You create three macros for forecast calculation according to the following instruction. The chapter Creating the Macro for Consensus-Based Planning describes how to create the alert macro for consensus-based planning.
In the DP_STANDARD view of the planning book DP_001, you create two macros:
The first macro is used for the standard and consensus-based planning. The system calculates the arithmetic average of Statistical Forecast, Sales Forecast and Logistics Forecast, the result of average forecast data plus Promotion Data is inserted in the Final Forecast cell. It enables the user to consider the forecast input and the promotion plan from different departments within the company. The planner can make manual adjustments and enter the final agreed forecast into the Final Forecast cell. All of this information can be shown in the planning book screen.
The second macro multiplies the Final forecast data with the Planned price to calculate the sales volume. The third macro is an alert macro used for highlighting exceptional situations in consensus-based planning.
In the DP_SALES view of the planning book DP_001, you create the fourth macro. This macro multiplies the Final forecast data with the Planned price to calculate the sales volume, which is the same as the one in the standard view.
3.7.1     Creating Macros for the Standard View

Graphic view when entering SDP94 planning book

Hi,
do some of you know if there is a possibility for setting the DP planning book up, so it always will start with the graphic view ??
Instead of starting with the table view
This only for single users ???
Thanks in advance
Jan Juhl

Hi Jan,
You can achieve the same by going into the design mode of the data view from the interactive planning book. Then Click on the top left cell with the right mouse button to pull down a menu. Then Check the graphic option. Save and come to live. It will dispay the graphic option as a default everytime you open the planning book.
In case you do not want table view at all in the data view, you can go to design view and click the layout button on the top. Then unflag the Table view. Save and come to live mode. The data view can show graphic dispaly only.
Let me know if it helps.
Regards
Gaurav

Alert's for Multiple Planning Book

Hello Experts,
We have created a macro, let's say for planning book1. Created a activity for the same. So once the job is executed we are able to see the alerts. Now the requirement is the same alerts has to be viewed in other planning books too (Say PB2 and PB2). One way is I can create a new activity for the PB2 and PB3. But again it's a performance problem for us. So please let me know is there any other way to implement this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Siva.

Hi Siva,
I think it is possible to assign the (macro-generated) DB Alerts to a different planning book. Using macro workbench, you can do this in the properties for the alert in a particular macro.
We have a situation where a particular macro alert is executed in a background process in a background-only planning book. However, we assigned the alert to the interactive planning book, so the users can see it interactively. It also simplified the creation of the alert profile in /SAPAPO/AMON1. (We are on APO 5.0)
The only shortcoming of this is that the alerts are no longer available in PB1. Once they are assigned to PB2, that's it.

Multiple attachment of planning books to planning area

Dear all,
I am facing an issue:
When I copied the planning book in a planning area without making any changes I was not able to display the original book,
In display I found that planning area of original planning book was changed and the copied book had the requried planning area.
Please advise..
Regards,
Amol Chavan

Hi Amol,
Not sure if I understand your question correctly. But I guess you have got a planning area assigned in your planning book which you need to change. Goto Define Planning Book (transaction /SAPAPO/SDP8B) enter the planning book for which change is required. Then click on Edit (in the menu bar) >> Assign Planning Area. This will list the planning areas in the system and you can change the planning area suitably. Please note after this you need to go and check for the characteristics and keyfigures in the planning book and data view. These may be changed depending on the new planning area. Macros needs to be checked as well.
Hope this helps,
Somnath

Possible to call a transaction from a planning book using a macro button?

Hi All,
Is it somehow possible to call a transaction using a macro button in the planning book? Also, the current selection should be passed as input parameters to the transaction.
In my example, I am trying to run the transaction /SAPAPO/MC90 - Release to Supply Network Planning from the Demand Planning Planning Book/Data View. This way if planners need to change forecasts mid month for specific selections, they can easily transfer to SNP without having to go out of interactive planning.
Thank you,
Maria

Hello Maria,
It's possible to call a transaction from a planning book using a macro button.
What you can do is ..... Create a function module and inside it use the command "Call Transaction Tcode" (ABAPer can do this) to call ur specific transaction. And this module can in turn be called from your macro. Please find the below link which explanis how to call a function module from a macro. Do let me know if you need more information on this.
Calling a function module from APO Macro

Thanks for your answer, Uma!
I was testing Bapis that you mentioned and I think it's a radical solution because I would be blocking users, I just want to lock a planning book (users can keep logged in the system)
Transaction /n/sapapo/sdpplbk does not guarantee that user can access to planning book (if he/she is smart )
any suggestion?

Hi Cesar/Rasec,
If I understand correctly you want users not to change any data while some background job is being run. One way to handle this would be to lock and unlock the concerned planning area. This will prevent any users from making changes to the data in the planning area which should also mean your background job will not fail due to locks on data selection by users.
For this you can develop customization to do locking and unlocking of the planning area. The function module ENQUEUE_/SAPAPO/E_PAREA can be used to lock planning area while DEQUEUE_/SAPAPO/E_PAREA to unlock the planning area.
Hope this gives you some direction.
Thanks,
Somnath

Product: &1 Location: &2 Error in Planning Book

Hello All,
We are facing an issue which is not reproducable and occurs randomly for different products.
When users access planning book, the following information message (not error message) appears as
"Product: &1 Location: &2" and the user is getting logged out without saving data.
We have implemented sap note 1510476 but still issue is found for few users.
Any pointers on this will be appreciated.
Regards
R. Senthil Mareeswaran.

Hi Senthil,
As for as I know, if this is a DP Planning Book, then, we need to explicitly execute the Macros (advisable for faster access though). For SNP Planning Book the macros run automatically.
If, your Planning Book is a DP PB, then, while executing the Transaction, it did not turn up to the exact Macro and proportionally, could not retrieve the Data Selection for Product & Location.
Please check whether the macros are running succesffuly.
Regards,
-Syed.
