Master data for demand planning

hi guru's,
what is the master data for dp, from were we get & how BI is helpful in this.
BW integration to apo dp.pls help me out
with regards,
chinni

Hi Chinni,
Data from R/3 to BIW is transfered through LIS, LO-CockPit's Info Structures.
This is how the flow goes on....
The transactions that are executed in R/3 are stored in the background tables.
Data from these tables will be copied to the info Structures(LIS, Lo-**** Pits).
A data source is generated basing on the infostructure.
Data source is then replicated to BI, The Data from the data sources is then copied to Info Cube.
Once the data is there in your Infocube,
you create Characteristics value combinations and then transfer the data from the Info Cube into the Planning Area.
Once you are done with demand planning, you can either transfer the data to SNP or the demand management in R/3.
If you are not planning to use LIS Structures, then you can download the data from the R/3 Tables to an excel sheet and upload them into BI.
The transaction code for creation of LIS Structures is: MC21
If you have a seperate BI server(Apart from one in APO), it is best pratice to load data into the BI server and then transfer the data to APO BI.
Let me know if you have any more questions regarding this.
Best Regards

Display Planning data (for demand planning) in another UoM

Hi All,
The Planning area UoM is in "L". We have products whose base UoM is KG and some in L. In BW we convert all to L and load into Planning area.
The Product master is CIFed to APO and has the conversion between L and KG.
we have a requirement to view the planning data in Kilo tons i.e 1,000,000 KG.
Have maintained a Mass UoM called ZKT in CUNI transaction and maintained the conversion that 1ZKT = 1,000,000 KG. Also have defined an ISO code for the same.
Now when we load the data in the planning book the default UoM is L. When we go to user setting and maintain alternate UoM as Tons "TO", the system converts the data to tons and displays it. no matter what is the criteria used in header selection.
But when we try to display data as ZKT UoM get a error msg that conversion from L to ZKT is not possible as the conversion is not maintained in Product master.
But when we select material code (SKU) as the show condition and also in the filter condition use material code (SKU) and make a selection, the system converts the planning data from L to ZKT.
The question is when the system can convert L to TO at any character level as long as the product master has the L to KG conversion, why is not able to convert L to ZKT.
Why is the system able to convert L to ZKT for individual SKU's and only when the show condition is Material code (SKU).
Would appreciate your quick reply.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
We have same scenario right away in our system. Some of our material have a conversion in R/3 for example: 1Unit=10BULTOS, then CIFing into APO.
The scenario is that, once we planned already in APO- we dont want to go back in r/3, any changes should be remained in APO. What we did is that we maintained the CIF user setup. Maybe you can try this as well without affecting other Uom.
Cheers!

Release Offset for Demand Plans

Hi, We are trying to understand and use the release offset for demand plans. Basically we would like to hide the current period from supply planning. This seems to work in period one of the forecast. As time passes and we get to period two we would like the forecast to no longer be exposed to supply planning. This does not seem to be the case. We have tried to roll the forecast however that does not seem to resolve it. I believe we could delete the forecast lines in the "Maintain Demand Plan Screen" and then release the forecast however that is very work intensive. How should this be done?
Thanks,
Dave

Dear Jeevan,
Before you can use the invoicing plan with automatic settlement, the Evaluated receipt settlement delivery indicator must be set on the Purchasing Data screen in the vendor master record.
(If you wish to enter invoicing dates manually, this is not necessary.)
Purchase Order
SAP recommends using order type FO (framework order), i.e. a purchase order with a predefined extended validity period and a "reason for cancellation". The invoicing plan can adopt the validity period specified in the PO header.
PO items for which you wish to use an invoicing plan must have account assignment irrespective of whether a material with a master record, a material described by a short text, or an external service is involved.
The GR/IR control facility must be set up in such a way that no goods receipt (or, in the case of services, no service entry) is expected - only an incoming invoice. If you wish to have automatic settlement, you must also set the Evaluated receipt settlement indicator.
Customizing
Under Purchase Order --> Invoicing Plan --> in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
If you want to split it based on periodic than : maintain the invocing plan types :Maintain Periodic Invoicing Plan Types

Problems with HowTo "Creation of BI Master Data in Integrated Planning...)

Hi,
one of our customers need a planning application in which he can create master data for different attributes, insert some key figures for this attributes and changes already planned key figured.
For the last two point I've already found a working solution, the first point (creating of masterdata in web template) is still a problem. After a little search, I found a howto-guide "Creation of BI Master Data in Integrated Planning (IP) through Web Layouts", in which the necessary steps are described, how to do this (please see following link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/607193d5-cdd5-2b10-c699-8ff04c3124f6)
Does anyone of you know this guide and was able to build a working solution?
I have different questions, maybe you could help me:
- what kind of variable is he using?
- do I need a DataProvider in Web Template?
- how do I get the connection to the used variable in the button group?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Tim

Hi Timo,
you require two howtos to implement the solution.
First, please take a look at the first document:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d2b273-0e12-2c10-fab3-a34bde559f92?QuickLink=index&…
In chapter 3 you see the prerequisites (note 1101726 and notes 1384495, 1387004 and 136772). By this, you change the system behaviour, not to check if the new inserted master data is valid (it can't be valid, because the entries are new!)
And after this please implement the solution from the how to.
Furthermore you can take a look at this how to, which might help you too:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/607193d5-cdd5-2b10-c699-8ff04c3124f6?QuickLink=index&…
Even if my first post is a bit old, my customer still uses this solution, at the moment we are on 7.3 sp06, so it is working in newer releases too.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Tim

BPC75NW: Error Loading Master data for BPC Dimensions from BW InfoObject

Hello Gurus,
I'm trying to load master data for BPC Dimensions from BW Infoobjects.
The ID thats used in BW is 32 char long. When I run the load, the ID is truncated after 20 chars and the records are reported as duplicates.
Due to this the load is failing.
I cannot use any other ID as the texts will not be loaded in that case.
Is there any work around to handle this?
I cannot load the transaction data either.
I looked at some posts and blogs in sdn, but nothing really helped.
Cube - 0RPM_c05 (Financial Planning cube in SAP PPM)
Version: BPC 7.5 NW SP5
Thanks,
Vasu

Thanks Everyone.
" you can write a transformation file and give a new name to those IDs who have values more than 20 characters."
Poonam - Could you explain more?
I tried using a additional Dimension property to hold the 32 char ID. But I cannot access this in the transformation.
Is there a way to refer the dimension property in the Transformation file or in the UJD_ROUTINE BADI implementation?
Thanks,
Vasu

Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?

Add additional field in Vendor master data for VAT Reg. No.?
Hi I need to add one additional field for other VAT Reg. number in vendor master data FK01, We currently have two field
Current Settings:
Country : LFAS-LAND1
VAT registration no.: LFAS-STCEG
I need to add one additional field for text information. Is this possible?
Thanks you very much
Luis G.

If you want to add new fields that are not possible from config (check with your consultant) you need to implement BADIs
In SPRO, go to:
>Logistics-General
->Business Partner
-->Vendors
--->Control
>Adoption of Cusomter's Own Master Data Fields
and read the documentation provided there.
You will need to implement following BAPIs
Processing Master Data Enhancements: VENDOR_ADD_DATA
Customer Subscreens: VENDOR_ADD_DATA_CS
I am not aware of any other way to add new fields to Vendor master (however, check with your consultant for config related screen modifications)
Should you need any further info to implement it, post back (read it thoroughly first, it's quite self-explanatory).

Aabhas

BW Master Data for Customer Exit Variable Reference

Good day Experts,
I have several queries that I would like to remove the hard coding of values on to prevent yearly maintenance. In these queries there are two conditions each condition is on different key figures that is amount by year. The query is only to report on data that for the two amounts (separated by year) is greater than the specified values. I want to change the condition so the value is no longer hard coded so the query will role automatically as the time period changes. The year amount values that the condition will need to reference are not currently stored in our BW system. I would like to create master data that is maintained directly in the BW system for the amounts that a variable for the condition in the query can then access.
I know it can be set up as master data and then referenced through a customer exit variable but when I set up the master data if I do the Amount as a key figure I cannot maintain the key figure value for the master data manually in BW, if I set the Amount up as a numeric characteristic then I canu2019t directly use a decimal. Am I missing something in the key figure setup then referencing the key figure as an attribute of the year value or do I need to do it as a characteristic and use a conversion routine or something for data manipulation?
Can someone please give me some guidance to what the best way to do this is?
The data necessary master data for storage in BW is the YEAR and a single dollar value:
For Example:
Year          Amount
2009           101.50
2008          207.80
2007          807.40

I figured out that I can use an amount in the master data and maintain the amount manually as long as I use the amount with a currency instead of setting the currency in the key figure.

How to create customer master data for walking customer in retail

hi experts !!!!!!
for retail industry e.g books trading industry
how to create customer master data for walking customer in retail
its dummy or one time customer
if i create one time customer then same customer number can i use for every new order and every new customer how ?????
thanks

Dear Hanumant,
As per my view,,
You can use one time customer functionality to full fill your requirement.
When you create sales order with one time customer system take you to the customer data maintanence screen through that you can maintain the one time customer data.
Same one time customer number you can use for every new order through maintaining different data.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Quick sizing for Demand Planning system

Hi All
Our team is required to do quick sizing for a SCM 5.0 Demand Planning system with Livecache. The DEV and QAS is already available but not being used at all but now we need the quick sizing for the production box. I have never done any quick sizing, detailed help is appreciated. I have gone through the service.sap.com/quicksizing for demand planning it shows 3 input tables only for Throughput sizing - Time Series, DP Run, DP Users. The APO functional guys entered some numbers but not sure what to do next as the Calculate Result shows information Iam not able to understand.
What I need from sizing is CPU processor, disk size, memory size, etc in clear detail. Please suggest, Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ali

Hello Ali,
First of all I am not a BASIS consultant and hence it would not be prudent for me to comment on hardware configuration reuqired in your case.
Secondly I do not understand what you mean by Quicksizer has been shut down. It is available online at <a href="http://service.sap.com/quicksizer">Quicksizer Tool</a> in Service Marketplace.
There is good amount of documentation available in the website giving details on the basis of computation of different parameters. Again SCM Hardware Configuration is not just dependent on the number of users but the functional requirements as well.
Thirdly - I cannot explain how SAPS concept is related to SCM Quicksizing. Per my understanding the SAPS concept is an hardware-independent benchmark of throughput which is an indicator of the processing capabilities required at peak loads. SAPS will determines the number and processor speed on your Application Server depending on the processor capabilities. Most hardware vendors provide datasheets with SAPS capabilities.
Suggest you go through the document "Background: Sizing mySAP Business Suite" under Sizing Guidelines >> General Sizing Procedures.
Thanks,
somnath

Crystal reports 2011 failure to pull the master data for AP Items

I am using businessobjects 4.0 and i am also running crystal report 2011.I am connecting to a sap erp ecc 6.0 ehp4 without any issue.The challenge comes when trying to input or pick the master data for example company code .The crystal report does not populate the company code field with master data.Any suggestions?

Hi Venkateswaran,
FIrst of all thanks for offering help...
uploding screen shots, below mentioned screens are captured when I was creating a new report on CR2011, usning SAP standard table "T001", there is no parameters, it is simple report but I didnot get data, if i browse the field through Cystal report is says Data Size is 0.
I also would like to inform you that If i use crystal report 2008 SP3 for same ERP, Same table and same fields, then i get proper data/report.

Custom master data for Sales Document Number

Is it possible to create master data for "sales document number" as a custom field and/or table in R/3? We have a need to record the "end user" customer of an order but this data may be updated a long time after the order and sale is complete. IT seems that loading to BW/BI may be simpler if this is treated as document attributes rather than transactional data since no delta will be trigger by changes to this field. Does anyone have experience with this approach?

Hi,
it is possible to create attributes for this InfoObject. Add the Attributes you need in BW. You can use the attributes even if the sales doc is line item dimension of your cube.
On Sourcesystem side you have to create a generic extractor in SBIW. I think a table view on VBAK or VBAP may fullfill your needs. Of course the tables are not the smallest ones but maybe u can use the timestamp to implement a generic delta. Check whether the timestamp is set when the 'end user' is set. Not every change in the sales document leads to an entry in the delta queue of logistic, but the timestamp should be set.
After that replicate the datasource to BI and connect it to the attributes of 0SALES_DOC
I had a similar enhancement at one customer reading the actual transport routes to the sales documents and it worked fine.
Hope that helps

Upload SNP master data for future Materials

Hello Everybody,
I am working on SCM 2007 and due to client's business requirements, I need to load the SNP master data of the new materials which presently do not exist in my R/3 system and will be produced/introduced after six months.
Client wants to do the forecasting for such materials from now onwards. Since, these materials do not exist in R/3, I cannot CIF and bring the master data in my APO system. Please suggest, how can I load SNP master data for such materials. Is there any standard tool available for the same?
Kind Regards,
Rahul

Hi,
If you require product locations only for forecasting I guess you will require only products and locations to be define in APO. I would suggest that you can create a seperate Model for this product locations which is not their in ECC and do the forecasting if it satisfies your business requirement, the reason being once you create master data directly in APO it will not be possible to CIF the master data fom ECC which will create inconsistency.
You can use LSMW also to upload product and location if you are not defining comples parameters like Time phase cost in Product location & their are not many validation which I assume will be the case.
Thanks,
Sanjog
