Master Data on Lot Size Tab

Hello Guru,
I need your help with regards to the master data set-up we have in APO. In tab Lot Size, the Procedure of our products is BY PERIOD, period type is W (weekly).
We are now having issues in the quantity recomended to received, as you can see we have 23 days as safety time, but the system is calculating to have around 100 days of coverage (days of supply)
if we compare inventory target in items on a weekly view, we should have around 150m items, and the system is calculating to have around 500m items
Does this set-up in master data is a factor? hope for your help.
FYI.
We check other code in the location that is ok, we see that in its master data Procedure = Lot by lot. And the other ok one is its Procedure = BY PERIOD, Period Type = D (daily)

It would be helpful if you explained which engine/heuristic you are using.
If you use lot for lot is the quantities exactly matching the demand?

Equipment master data : address in "Location" tab

Hi experts,
Can someone tell me what the "address" data (in equipment master data, "Location" tab) are for?
What is an example of business case which will use that "address"?
Thanks,
P.

Hi,
It is the same address data that is available on equipment header (Ctrl+F5). It could be the address of where the equipment is located or where it operates. Alternatively it might be the contact details for the equipment owner or maintenance company.
It is similar to maintaining partners but you can use it as suits the business requirements.

i have selected with quanity structure and material origin tabs and profit center common and for sfg and fg variance key assign.

thanks in advance

Hi Ajay thanks for reply,

when i tick quantity structure tab when i do standard cost estimate for FG through CK40N all the raw materials are also get costed and the raw material are released with standrd price just like FG And SFG during costing run we can see the results of the costing run in costing 2 tab.
when we run standard cost it will take latest PO Price but when we issue the material to the process order does it consider any changes after costing run.

Cant fully load updated data to Master data attribute

Hi BW expert,
I meet an issue here, I am not able to load updated data to master data attribute. My loading selection is based on employee number range.
e.g employee number 00001 to 10000
However the data is successfully loaded to master data but lot of the attribute data are not updated. e.g 056, 057, 098, 0100.
I checked in PSA, there is no data updated for the attribute.
I checked in RSA3 in R/3, there are attribute data extracted.
Please advice, why attribute data is not updated when I load it in a range number. The attribute only work when I load one employee number.
Thanks.

What is the use of factoring indicator in Business partners master data

Hi All,
I am the biginner to SAP B1.please help me.I am creating the businee partners master data in that general tab factioring indicatior is there.what is need for that?

Hi,
Please refer to Note No. [593657|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1odSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=593657]
Symptom
What is the factoring indicator?
Other terms
factoring indicator, factoring, indicator, business partner, master
data,
Reason and Prerequisites
Solution
Factoring indicator
The factoring indicator is used in Reporting => Accounting Reports => General Ledger.
If a factoring indicator has been defined for a Business Partner, it
will be entered automatically into each Journal Entry that will be
posted for this BP.
In Reporting => Accounting Reports => General Ledger, you can
click on the "Expanded" pushbutton, check the "Indicator" button, select "From" and "To" and the system will only display the transactions which include the selected indicator.
This field is for the so-called subrogation, which means
demands to BPs are sold to the bank.
Through this field you can allocate an assignment code to
a Business Partner, this code can be used in an accounting reports.
This functionality is only intended for Austria.
Also, following information from the Online Help (F1)
Factoring Indicator
Assign a factoring indicator for the business partner. Note that both code and name are displayed.
This indicator is automatically inserted as default value in the invoice. The factoring indicator may be displayed in the account statements.
Choose to open a Choose From List window displaying the indicators that have been defined. Choose New to define new ones.
The indicator is only displayed after activating the field Indicator in Personal Settings.

Factors in Item Master Data

Hi all,
Can any one Please let me know,what is the Usage of Factor-1,2,3,4 Fields in Item Master Data (Purchasing and Sales Tabs).
I just want to know in which scenarios we can use them?
If anyone could explain the same with practical example,it would be helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Patil

Dear ,
Factor 1, Factor 2, Factor 3 and Factor 4 Fields for Purchase and Sales
The quantities of certain items must be calculated by multiplying
several factors. In the factor fields, you enter the multiplication
variables. For example, a 1.20 m high fence, which is sold in meters, is
in stock. The price for the sold quantity is, however, based on square
meters. To calculate the quantity (that is, the surface area) on which
the price is based, the system must multiply the sold length by the
height of the fence.
In this case, the length of the fence is determined with factor 1 and
the height (in the example here: 1.20 m) with factor 2.
The system automatically sets all the factors to 1. You can enter any
number of factors, or none at all. The entries you make here are copied
to the business transaction documents in Purchasing and Sales. You can
overwrite the factors in the row information.
Note: If you use the factors for a large number of your items, you can
use the settings for the transactions in Purchasing or Sales to display
the fields directly when you enter the document. In this case, you do
not need to call up the row information to change the factors.
You could also find some information from online help.

More details for master data

Hi friends,
I want to know more details about the master data, when there is one cube or dso, how can I find out that master data objects in that?
When right click on master data info object and display, there is tabs called u2018general, business explorer, master data/texts, hierarchy, attribute and compoundingu2019, want to know much details on each tab and option in that.
I know some thing about these options, but want to know all options. This is basic question, but wants to know detaily from experts. Please give more details on this. Thanks in advance.
Suji.

there are 6 tabs in master data datasource
1. general tab, 2. Business explorer 3. master data/text 4. Hirarchy 5. attribute 6. Compounding
General:
in this there are 4 options
1. dictionary : give data type of that object, give length of the object, convertion rotiune is alpha which makes
"ALPHA conversion", is a transaction (transaction code RSMDCNVEXIT) that checks the format of all values of characteristics that use one of the conversion routines ALPHA, GJAHR and NUMCV. If values are found that do not have the correct internal format it can replace them by correct value and update all dependant SAP NetWeaver BI objects (like InfoCubes, Hierarchies, master data of other characteristics...).
The most important conversion routine - due to its common use - is the ALPHA routine that converts purely numeric user input like '4711' into '004711' (assuming that the characteristic value is 6 characters long). If a value is not purely numeric like '4711A' it is left unchanged.
transfer routine : when u want to write the routine use the create buttom.
Business explorer:
use authorization relevant check box when you want the object as authorization and use in report based on user requirement.
Master data/text:
it shows the object has attr or text or both, you can find by identifing the check box
Hirarchy:
if the check box of with hierarchy is checked then it has hierarchy.
Attributes:
it shows the attributes of the attributes.
compounding:
In Compounding, A Field or another Object is attached to an Info Object. A Compounding Characteristic is when object's definition is incomplete without the definition of another Characteristic Info Object.
We can also determine whether we want to compound the characteristic to other InfoObjects. Sometimes we need to compound InfoObjects in order to map the data model. Some InfoObjects cannot be defined uniquely without compounding.
For Example the Info Object - Location (0PP_LOCAT) has to be assigned with a Compound Info Object - Plant (0PLANT).
By using compound InfoObjects, you can model the dependencies between InfoObjects. You can compound InfoObjects to map the data structure of a source system.

Assigned Master Data roles in IBP user management

Hi All,
The new update of the IBP 4.0.1 has given a new feature called Assign Master Data under roles to give permissions to the Master Data with respect to versions. But when I add a version and tick version specific Master Data under the versions tab and activate my model, only some set of Master Data is visible under my Planning area. Is there any reason for this? Please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi Manaswini,
We have noticed a similar behavior while trying out the version specific scenarios and copying Master data /Key Figure from one version to another. For some of the planning areas, only few of the Master Data would be visible while for other it works as expected.
So, I am not sure about the exact reason but if you have any other planning area, you could try activating version specific master data over there.
Thanks,

Lot Size different to master data

Dear Gurus,
In master recipe, when I am trying to save the following error message is appearing.
Lot size different to master data
Can anyone help me on this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Arul.

Dear,
Please check,
When a master recipe is scheduled, the lot size can be proposed in two different units of measure
If a base quantity is maintained in the material master (view Work scheduling), the lot size is entered in the base quantity of the material master. If no base quantity is maintained, it is entered in the unit of measure of the recipe header (header unit).
That is, the unit of measure of the lot size is predefined by the system and you cannot choose it.
If the lot size is entered in base unit of measure for scheduling, up to now, no conversion between base unit of measure and header unit occurs. The lot size (in base unit of measure) is converted into the operation quantity directly via the conversion factors of the operation. The scheduling result is incorrect. and system display the message Lot Size different to master data.

R.Brahmankar
