Is it possible workforce planning in workcenter level

Hi,
is it possible workforce planning in workcenter (means assign the employees in workcenter). please sugget about this....
Regards,
Purna

Hi, Purna
It is posible creating a workcenter for a group of employees which share same level and specific activity (rate). On this case you will have capacity planning available for this resources.
In other hand it is posible to assign work center (same used on your routing) to this group of employees. Finally indicate the specific employee ussing personnel number (PERNR) field during confirmation
Below the reference:
(https://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/b1/c03722439a11d189410000e829fbbd/content.htm)
Do not consider as posible solution to create a workcenter by each person to include it on the routing.. Because It is not practical and due the difficult to maintain this amout of information inside process.

Planning at higher level

Hi all,
We are implementing multiple Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting. Budgeting and Forecasting will be done at the base level whereas Planning is done at the higher level. Now the concern I have is in BPC we can not post data at parent level so is it even possible to Plan at higher level.
If yes, then how can we do it. Please share your views.
Thanks,
Diksha.

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your reply. I have some more questions on this document.
1. If I want to plan at a much higher level , will this BADI work. Say for example: the base level members are at level 6, I want to plan at level 2 or level 3. Will it still write the records to level 6 members though they are not immediate dependants.
2. In the example given in the document, both the base level members and the parent member is in the input schedule. If I don't have the base level members shown in the input schedule, and I only have the parent member, will this BADI still post data to the base members.
For example: I have some 500 base members to one parent node. I don't want to display the 500 base members. I will only have one parent member in the input schedule and post data to that member only. Will it still say that 500 records are submitted.
How is the scoping done for this BADI. Generally for the default logic, scoping will be based on the members on the input schedule.
Thanks
Anjali

Workforce planning in Projects

What are the different ways of assigning people to Work Centers?
My target is to get a worklist for CAT2 transaction from project internal activities.
1. I can assign people to Work Centers in workforce planning?
2. I can assign people to Work Centers with Organizational structure?
3. Is there any infotype in HR mini-master also to set such link?
What is the best practice to get that worklist updated? I have it just empty and not sure why.
Also is it possible to do a workforce planning at the WBS-element level? If so, how?
Thank you.

Best practice is based on requirement.
Please check the customization of your data entry profile in worklist area.
If you are using workfoce planning stricly for all the project then frist is best approach. but that you have to update regularly the assignments.
2. I can assign people to Work Centers with Organizational structure?
Here you assign person, most probabaly permenanatly for long time to workcenter, so you need not to chagne.
3. Is there any infotype in HR mini-master also to set such link?
As per my knowledge there is no such infotype to set up.

Workforce Planning Customization Assistance

We are rolling out a very vanilla planning application in the next few weeks. The application consists of a plan named FinPlan (contains income statement, balance sheet, etc.) and a plan called Payroll (workforce planning plan type). The WFP is the piece I am struggling with as I am working to customize many of the calcs (we wont use the performance metrics - mainly just the headcount, salary, taxes, merit, and possibly benefits tracking and calculation) and am stuck trying to unwind some of the predefined rules that come out of the box when you intialize WFP. I have downloaded the admin guide and it has been helpful, but it isnt enough to keep me going. Here are my current questions I am trying to run down...
1. What is the best way to track an employee's job title? I can't use the "position" member as it is a predefined smart list and we will have too many variations to try and list there (Director is a position, but we have 20 different director level positions I need to keep track of). This will help with open position budgeting as turnover occurs and we keep a total fixed number of employees in the system based on the approved org chart. I was thinking of having a member with text properties associated with the employee name when I set them up. Not sure if that will be enough to have it available for reporting and other analysis.
2. Do you have to input the "merit month" by employee? We have an annual merit cycle where everyone receives their appropriate raise at the same time. I tried applying the merit month and % increase in a similar fashion as I did payroll taxes but it did not work. For taxes I loaded rates at the "No Entity", "No Scenario", etc levels and it applied to all employees properly. I would assume whatever method will work for merit would also work for equity adjustments or merit overides (where someone gets planned to receive a "higher than average" merit increase).
3. Can someone provide some insight around how to plan over multiple years? We will be planning in 2013 in this application. Our model is built to covers a 5-year strategic view (2013-2017) as well. Is there a way to have whatever we plan in 2013 carry over into subsequent years so that our 2014-2017 years build on 2013 with an assumption around merit each year? I assume this will require a business rule to make happen but wanted to verify before i start down that path.
Thanks in advance for your help. In addition, any assistance or resources anyone can point me to would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jake,
Take a look at page 81 in the Workforce Planning Admin Guide for 9.3 at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/wfp_admin.pdf
I'm guessing you are looking at the formula in Essbase and not in Planning. In Planning it should say something like
If ([FiscalOffset] == 0) ...
As part of the planning deployment to Essbase that it changed to reflect the month offset from Jan based on a Fiscal Year not beginning in Jan.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Transferring Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning Level

Hi all,
We are implementing SAP IS-U for a water suplly company and we have a process in which an Installation is transferred from a Business Partner to another. For this we are using the Move-in / Move-Out functionality (trx EC60).
So far, so good. The problem is that we also should transfer also the Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning level to the new Business Partner and new Contract Account.
The questions is: can we transfer these automatically?
We thought in different scenarios in case this is not possible, so I would appreciate if you can give us an opinion:
1 - Use FP40 transaction and transfer FICA elements manually
2 - Create a FOP process to perform step by step the process from CIC0. The only problem I have found is that there is not any object that allows me to transfer the open items. Does it exist? If not, this option is not valid
3 - Use the "Change CUstomer" Functionality. Did you have any experience using this funcionalidty? The main issue I have with this is that the system generates a dummy invoice, the Move in Date is in the future, and the Account must be closed.
Please any information will be very helpful. Thank you very much in advance!
Best Regards,
Lucas

Hi Lucas,
You can transfer the open items and the dunning level manually to the new BP and CA through transaction code FP40.
You need to maintain the following configuration settings in the posting area 1055-
Curr-Currency of the Cocd
Clearing Reason-Clearing reason used for transfer
Document Type-Document Type used for Transfer
Only all items- blank
Credit-X
Transfer DL-X
Moreover, you cannot transfer Instalment Plans through FP40, as instalment plan items are statistical in nature.
Hope it clarifies.....
Thanks,
Amlan

Planning on SLoc level in SNP

We have a need to plan the replenishment of a plant on two different storage location levels. The same material numbers exist in both storage locations, but due to excise requirements certain customers (in a different country) will be supplied from the one storage location and other customers (in the same country as the plant) will be supplied from the other.
Our forecast in APO DP is split in two different forecast areas, but when the forecast is transferred to SNP we lose visibility of the forecast area as SNP is based on product location.
We would like to know if it is possible to plan on a storage location level in APO SNP ?

Sure... you can do anything if you manually create new locations in APO.
Otherwise, if you want to CIF them from ECC, you will need MRP Areas.

Hi,
Use SAP008. And under the scheduling tab in the Other formula field maintain SAP004 and under the costing tab besides the activity tab there is a field without a label. Maintain the formula SAP008 there.
Hope this helps.

Issues in Workforce Planning

Dear Friends,
I am facing following isues in workforce planning.
1) I am not able to assign team maintained at WBSE level in assigned activities.Though the manpower maintained at Work Center is easily asigned.
2) The capacity requirement for activity as well as resource in not getting distributed, though I am using Distribution key to distribute work equally both at activity & work center level.
3) Last, once a resource has been assigned to a particular activity for a particular period, the system is still allowing allotment of same resorces to other activities during same period.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Seemant

Thanks for response.
We are maintaining WBSE team for the same WB SE to which network activity is assigned. The requirement for having a team at WBSE as well as Work Centre arises because, as per the business scenario the project may utilize resources other than that on Work Centre.
I have done all required settings & marked all relevant indicators.
Yes in I am using SAP020 Distribution Key.
For the third point that I mentioned (that you say to be standard system behaviour) I would explain again.
Once I have loaded a particular resource with work form a particular project, logically the system shall block that resource for that particular time frame (within which it is loaded). Are you saying this is standard system behaviour?
Thanks,
Seemant

SAP PP-Planning at Assembly level(70)u201D & u201C Planning at Assembly level witho

Hello SAP-Guruu2019s
Pls explain the Strategy u201C Planning at Assembly level(70)u201D & u201C Planning at Assembly level without final Assembly (74)u201D and pls give any examples if possible.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Planning at Assembly Level (70)
Purpose
This planning strategy is particularly useful for manufacturers of products with variants if a more
reliable forecast can be produced for certain assemblies than for the multitude of product
variants.
Prerequisites
You must maintain the master data of the assembly as follows:
Strategy group 70 on the MRP screen.
Set the indicator for assembly planning, the Mixed MRP indicator, to 1 on the MRP
screen.
Consumption parameters (Consumption mode, Bwd consumption, Fwd consumption on
the MRP screen) to allow for consumption of planned independent requirements.
If you are using this strategy in a make-to-stock environment, you also must set the
Individual/coll. indicator to 2 on the MRP screen.
Reduction
Consumption
This strategy is very similar to Planning with Final Assembly (40) However, planned
independent requirements are consumed by production order requirements (or schedule lines in
repetitive manufacturing) and not to requirements of sales orders.
1. Stock for the assembly usually exists.
2. Planned independent requirements are entered at assembly level. Procurement (planned
by means of the planned independent requirements) is therefore triggered before the
production order stage (or schedule line in repetitive manufacturing).
3. The planned orders for the assembly/components are convertible.
4. Procurement smoothing according to order demand is possible. In this strategy,
however, the ability to react flexibly to customer requirements is more important.
5. An accurate availability check is performed according to ATP logic during production
order processing.
6. Requirements from production orders (or schedule lines) are passed on to production
and can lead to changes to procurement after the sales order stage, if the order
quantities exceed the planned independent requirement quantities. However the order
quantities cannot be confirmed if there is insufficient coverage of components. The
system automatically adjusts the master plan. For more information see Coping with
Insufficient Coverage of Components .
7. The planned independent requirements are consumed during the production stage. This
means that you can compare the planned independent requirements situation with the
actual order requirements.
Unconsumed planned independent requirement quantities increase the warehouse stock of the
component, and cause procurement to be decreased or not to take place at all in the next period.
This procedure is called "netting."
Sample Scenario: Strategy 70
Process Flow
This example is based on a production plan in which 100 pieces are planned for <reqdat1>,
<reqdat2>, and <reqdat1>.
Stage 1: Demand Management
1.In this scenario, planned independent requirements are created as follows for the
production plan.
Period indicator Reqmts date Planned qty Value
T (= day) <reqdat1> 100 10,000.00
T (= day) <reqdat2> 100 10,000.00
T (= day) <reqdat3> 100 10,000.00
The system will find requirements type VSFB because the strategy group has been set
to 70.
2. The requirements are passed on to MRP. The stock/requirements list (Logistics
Production   MRP   Evaluations   Stock/reqmts list) displays the following
information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 0
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 100 - 100 -
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 200 -
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 300 -
Stage 2: Procurement Before Use in Production
1. A procurement requisition is created in the MRP run (Logistics   Production   MRP
Total planning). The stock/requirements list displays the following information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 0
<reqdat1> PlOrd. 123/STCK 100 100
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat2> PlOrd. 124/STCK 100 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/STCK 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
This procurement requisition is the starting point for production or external procurement.
You have a variety of options for handling the procurement process in the R/3 System.
One possibility would be to convert the planned order into a production order, release of
the production order and a goods receipt of the yield quantity. It is also possible,
however, to use returns or other goods movements for make-to-stock production.
2. After goods receipt for the order, the stock/requirements list displays the following
information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 200
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 100 - 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/SDeb 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
Stage 3: Production Order and Allocation
A production order that uses the planned component is created (Logistics   Production
Production control   Order   Create).
An availability check is performed in the order (Component   Availability   Check availability).
In this example, it is assumed that production is 50 pieces of the material and the
material has an in-house production time of zero.
A popup appears containing the following information:
Requirements date <today>
Requirements quantity 50
Availability check (checking group) 02
ATP quantity 200
Confirmation date <today>
Confirmation quantity 50
This availability check is always performed according to ATP logic. See Availability Check [Page
157].
The production order quantity, which is not visible in the production order, is allocated to the
component quantity. You can, however, control the allocation in the stock/requirements list or in
the total requirements list. The total requirements list displays the following information:
Requirements type Date Allocated quantity Total quantity
VSFB 300
<reqdat1> 100
RESE <reqdat1> 50
<today> 50
<reqdat2> 100
<reqdat3> 100
After creation of the production order, the stock/requirements list displays the following
information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 200
<today> OrdRes SZ-10 50 - 150
<reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 50 - 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/STCK 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
Any parent material that consists of this component is automatically allocated to this plan. In
practice, there are several header materials (like SZ-10 in this example) that allocate this
material.
Stage 4: Procurement After Production
This does not apply to this strategy.
Stage 5: Goods Issue for Production Order
After goods issue for the production order (Logistics   Materials management   Inventory
management   Goods movement   Goods issue), the stock/requirements list displays the
following information:
Date MRP element MRP element data Received/
required
quantity
Available quantity
<today> Stock 150
< reqdat1> IndReq VSFB 50 - 100
<reqdat2> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
<reqdat3> PlOrd. 125/STCK 100 100
<reqdat3> IndReq VSFB 100 - 0
Hope this helps.

Easy Cost Planning at Network Level

Hi All,
I was able to implement ECP at WBS level, but not able to implement at network level. I am using SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4.
I have activated the business function ops_ps_ci_1 and also activated the 'Activate Planning for Network Activities with Easy Cost Planning' in the configuration settings in SPRO-IMG. I had gone through most of the threads on this topic like :
Network Activity Easy Cost planning
ECP at activity level not triggered
I am not able to find the option for 'Create Alternate CO Version' and 'Activate Multiple CO Version' under the Easy Cost Planning and Execution Services in SPRO-IMG.Please advise me in implementing Easy Cost Planning at Network Level and correct me if I was wrong in completing the configuration steps.

Thanku All,
I have done all the steps as you mentioned
1. Activated the business function OPS_PS_CI_1.
3
2.
3.
Activated Multiple Plan Version using the tcode RCNPRECP
Still not able to view the options under SPRO-IMG Easy Cost Planning
* Create Alternate CO Version
* Activate Multiple CO Version
Also not able to implement ECP at network level.

When drilling down,is it possible to see all next level values in one click

While drilling down, is it possible to see the next level for all Level 1 values instead of just the value this is clicked?
Is there a feature that we can enable or achieve this differently?

967447 wrote:
Hi thanks for the reply. The users requested this.
e.g. the report is showing Region and Revenue columns.
There are 5 regions displayed in the report. Letz assume that each region has 3 countries.
Now if the user clicks on a region to look for country data, the report should be able to display the countries data for all 5 regions instead of just the region that user clicked i.e. in one click the report should show all 15 rows (5 regions * 3 countries)To achieve what you are looking for, I would recommend a different approach. Try this:
1) Create a summary report of your regions with "high level" infiormation.
2) Create a detail report with all the columns your wish that would display all the regions and all the countries.
3) Create a View Selector with both reports, calling the first "Region Summary" and the second "Region Details."
4) Put this in the Compound Layout and now the users can see both.
You don't want to use drill or navigation in your scenario.

PS Workforce planning, Person Assignment in internal activity.

Hello PS colleagues!
Im trying to use the workforce planning functions but I can not get the screen for person assignment in the internal activity.
I have done this, IMG I go to this path:
Project System -> Structures -> Operative Structures -> Network -> User Interface Settings -> Layout of Activity Detail Screens -> Define layout activity detail screens
Then I create all tab, I copy the standard to my network profile and there is tab 8, in standard is call Admin. then when I try it out it do not appear in the project, I use project builder.
Does any one what more I need to do for this to work??
Please help me out with this.
