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.

SNP Interactive Planning. Problems for SNP PPM plant

Hi All
Can you advise please why SNP interactive planning does not create SNP planned order when there are SNP and PP/DS related PPMs together.
And once i delete SNP PPM, SNP interactive planning creates SNP Planned Order without any problems.
Once i again create SNP PPM and run SNP interactive planning- it does not create planned order to fullfill demand.
Thanks
Best Regards
Andrey

Hi Nandha
Thanks! You solved a problem. PPM had maximum/minumum lot size 100 while in product master in Quantity determination max/min lot size fields were empty.
I've added the same values to product master as in PPM and run again SNP interactive planning.
And planned order was created.
Thanks!
Best Regards
Andrey

Production during resource downtime in SNP Distribution Planning Book

Hi Guys,
We are in SCM7.0. Have got PPDS along with SNP and DP. SNP Planned orders are converted to Production orders and are capacity planned in the PPDS planning board.
When a production order gets its partial confirmation in ECC then the Production (Confirmed) KeyFigure in the SNP Distribution planning book doesnot considers the resource downtimes / weekends. This results in receipts during downtime/weekends in day bucket in the SNP planning book.
Before partial confirmation, the scheduled production orders (in PPDS) is reflected correctly in the day bucket considering the downtimes / weekends.
Any suggestion on relevant Notes / Settings.
Thanks
Srini

Hi,
Ok, I understand the issue completely now.
But did you right click on the bucket with downtime in SNP planning book, choose diaply details and see the order details?.
After doing this you can check in product view and MD04 to check if the order is actually open in this period.
If it not open in the period corresponding to the bucket in which it is displayed in planning book and product view and MD04 are fine, Please check this and update, maybe other experts could help.
If you have a really good abapper, you could also debug the planning book load or raise an OSS to be safe.

Capacity Consumption in SNP Capacity Planning Book

Hi,
Can someone let me know how the Capacity Consumption KF(9ACACON) is calculated in the SNP Capacity Planning Book.
No macor is associated with the KF. But when i load the data in specific to a resource it gives me some value in the Capacity Consumption KF.
Is there any option to identify the calculation logic of this KF ?
Regards
BVN

Hi
There is no formula as such, it depends on the master data settings in your resource. In transaction /sapapo/res01 you can display the Capacity but how exactly depends on what type of resource you are using and how the capacity is calculated, basically you can have:
Time-Continuous capacity
PP/DS Bucket Capacity
SNP Bucket Capacity
And they can also have different values!
For the SNP View it should be using the SNP Bucket Capacity, so if you click on this tab in your resource master data it should have a field "Bucket Definition" which can either be from Continuos Capacity or be maintained separately. If you click the button "Bucket Capacity" it should show you the current values you have.
If it is from Cont Capacity then click that tab and see the start, end and break times there.
To add a little confusion, you may also have several variants of capacity, the active variant is on the General Data tab, this is the capacity variant that should show up as standard capacity in your planning book.
There is more to it all than this but hopefully that should help answer your qeustion.

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

Master Data Setup Steps & Execution for SNP Aggregated Planning

Hi,
I need some URGENT Help on the Master Data Steps and Execution of SNP Aggregated Planning. I've read the SCM 5.0 help with quite confusing understanding from it as regards to Master Data setup.
I want to run SNP for a Group of Products at a Group of Locations (say Customer Group or Group of Distribution Centers) at an Aggregate Level & then later Disaggregate the Generated Supplies from the Aggregate Level to the detailed Product-Locations level.
I have setup a Location Hierarchy with the Group of Distribution Centers and Product Hierarchy with a Group of Products & since SNP_LOCPROD aggregation is assigned to the 9ASNP02 Planning area ... I created a LOCPROD Hierarchy which use the Location & Product Hierarchy.
The Main intention is to Improve Performance of Planning Runs at a Rough Cut / Aggregate Level by doing a Rough Cut Capacity Check & Split Distribution Center requirements to Multiple Plants producing the same product. This would also help increase the Optimizer Performance.
I am finding there is no place to run SNP Heuristic by Specifiying a Hierarchy in the Selection screen of /sapapo/snp01. So how is Aggregated Planning even run ?
(I know there are Aggregation & Disaggregation Functions available in SNP Interactive Planning ... but what do I put in the Selection as 'Hierarchies' are not available in the Selections in the 9ASNPAGGR Aggregation Planning Book).
Can someone also Provide me Detailed Steps and point me to a Detailed Training document on this ? I could not find anything on the SDN Form as well as BPX Forum as well as on Wiki site from within SDN.
Please if anybody can Guide me Urgently ? I am needing to test this quickly to Demo to someone to demonstrate the APO Capabilities (else the Customer may lose interest in APO as he is comparing functionality with another tool). I don't want this to happen.

Ambrish Mathur

Harish,
Read your Blog with great interest. I think you have very nicely captured the Features over there. It was very helpfull.
I still have some very very basic questions (sorry if I was not clear earlier) and I will try state with an Example.
Are you saying ...
1. If I have 2 Products FG1 & FG2 .. then I need to FIRST
     create another Product Master called FG1_2_GP (say)
     via Trnx. /sapapo/mat1 ?
2. Similarly for the 5 DCs say DC1, DC2 .... DC5 ... I need
    to First Create a Location of type 1002 DC1_5_GP (say)
    via Trnx. /sapapo/loc3 first ?
I think I have not done these at all.
3. Finally are you saying that I need to now Create the
     Hierarchies ... ZCPGPROD (using FG1 & FG2)
     and ZCPGLOC (using DC1, DC2 ... DC5) and
     then create a generated Hierarchy ZCPGLOCPROD
     with Structure SNP_LOCPROD and using the ZCPGPROD
     and ZCPGLOD as Component Hierarchies ?
4. I am still not clear how would you Link Product Group
FG1_2_GP with ZCPGPROD ?? Where do we setup that FG1_2_GP is a Header of FG1 & FG2 ?
5. Similarly where do you Link Location Group DC1_5_GP with the Location Hierarchy ZCPGLOC ?
6. Finally in SNP Interactive Planning with Planning Book 9ASNPAGGR using the Location-Product (Header) as Selection what will I enter in this field ?
I read your Blog. More details on the Example would help ... I saw in your Blog the PH_POWDER product Group (containing PH_FG1,2,3 Products) example which I was not clear whether it was a New Product you created via /sapapo/mat1 or a New Hierarchy Code created via /sapapo/relhshow. Similarly you did create Location Groups PH_DC_AGG but do not seem to have used it. I think you have assigned PH_POWDER group and assigned to Locations 3000, 3100 & 3400 individually via /sapapo/mat1 ... but was not clear on how you linked it to the Location Product Hierarchies. You have also not created a Location Produc Hierarchy at all using PH_POWDER and PH_DC_AGG at all ... or have you ?
7. Is the Untold Trick that the Product Hierarchy Name and the Product Group created in Trnx. MAT1 must be same and the Location Hierarchy Name and the Location Group code created in LOC3 Trnx. should be same ?
8. I had created a Generated Hierarchy at ZCPGLOCPROD ... is this what I enter in 9ASNPAGGR as Selection of Location-Product (Header) ?
9. I want to first understand Standard SNP before I go into the diretion of creating my own Planning areas and Planning Books. Is this really needed for me to Plan 2 Products in these 5 DCs at an Aggregate level. I will be doing Aggregation of all kinds of Demand (STOs, POs, Forecast, SalesOrders, TLB Order Demand) and want the Supply generated at Aggregated Level to Disaggregate to the 2 FGs at the 5 DC Locations based on Proportion of Demand.
I think my question is far more basic wrt the Master Data Setup ... would help if you can clarify each of my questions separately in your reply. The Confusion is due to lack of clarity on the Master Data Setup in linking the Product Group PRODUCT Code & Location Group LOC Code to the respective Hierarchies and also SNP Interactive Planning not having a Place to enter these created Hierarchies.
I do want to praise and appreciate your contribution to the Blog ,,, well done. Full 10 Points Guaranteed on reply to above questions.

Ambrish

Key Figure Display in Interactive Planning

Hello,
I am unable to display some of the key figures in SNP Interactive Planning. All these Key Figures are present in Planning book and are also included in the data view.
Is there any setting wherein I can control the display of Key figure although that key figure is present in Planning book and data view. For Example I have my "safety stock" key figure in my planning book and data view, but I am unable to see the "safety stock" key figure in SNP interactive planning.
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sarath.

Hi Visu,
Your answer is really helpful, thanks for that. But while I am trying to hide some key figures it is not allowing me to do so. It is either hiding all the key figures or unhiding all. Please let me know if why the system is behaving like this.
Thanks

Define start date in SNP interactive table of planned order

hi,
does anyone know how to control the start date and the scheduling of planned order created in the SNP interactive table?

Hi Arieh,
For SNP Pl.Order the standard SAP APO behavior is to control the availability date (End date).
To control Start date you have to convert SNP Pl.Order in PP/DS Pl.Order. Then in the PPT1, production periodic view you can change by start date if you change the strategy to Forwards.

SNP Planning book - Period Information Setting Issue

Dear All,
In SNP Planning book we have issue related to "Period Information" for
the buckets. The period labelling is not working properly.
Actually when we go to the SNP planning book and change the Period
Information Settings(refer attachment). Once Period Setting is changed,
it gets changed to all the users(globally). So it is behaving as if it is not
user specific settings.
Scenario is - Suppose I changed the Period information in SNP Planning
book to appear in particular format, and when other users goto SNP
Planning book their Period Information Setting gets automatically
set to the same format which was I changed to, and vice-versa.
FYI - We do not have - Use-Exit implemented for Period Setting.
Appreciate any input in this regard.
Thank you
Satish Waghmare

Hi Pawan
Thanks for the reply.
Here is what SAP has to say, this is as per reply to my OSS message.
Question- The period information settings cannot be
made user-specific; there is no customization possible. right?
SAP Says-------> Regarding the period information settings, there is really no
customization to achieve the result, unfortunately.
Question- When you goto Design of the Planning Book, inside the Dataview Tab,
Period Labelling field shows value as "A", However F4 drop-down list do
not contain u201CAu201D value for the selection. Only possible values in F4 drop-
down list are Blank, U, Z, B and E. Could you please clarify this?
SAP Says -
> Regarding the period labeling values, the 'A' value is blank in the
selection because you can also leave it blank for the system to use the
'standard labeling' option.
Sharing it for for everyone's benefit.
Thank you
Satish.

Transit time , SNP CTM

Hi,
I am facing another scenario:
we are using CTM for SNP.We have maintained transit time of 3 weeks for certain products from a certain vendor location. Vendor location was not CIFed from R/3, but was created by extending the product to a location in APO. After the CTM run, planning book is showing 4 weeks transit time for one particular product only.
ANy suggestions on this will be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Can you confirm what you see is 4 weeks by looking at the requirement and availability date of the order/req created in the system at the destination? Can you confirm there is no Stock transfer horizon at source? Also confirm whether there are no holidays either in the receiving calendar at destination or shipping calendar at source? Are you maintaining calendar in T lane mode?

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
Ryan

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 ?
else you may want to check note : , 327371
Let me if this helps.
