MC8E: SOP to DM Transfer

Dear Gurus,
I'm using MC8E to do collective transfers of SOP to DM. When i save the job number for one material and execute the job, SOP is transferred successfully to DM. But when it is multiple materials already, none has been transferred.
Has anybody experienced this?

Hi Balaji,
So things are like this:
Without BW and APO, your demand planning tool remains erp-SOP.
In SOP you can use either standard SOP, where you can forecast based on consumption (from stock movements, not sales documents), or create your own planning environment using SOP-Flexible Planning functionality. There you can bring actual historical data from SD documents, and subsequently use that for forecasting.
Then, both forecasting and transfer to DM can be done EN MASS, using the mass processing functions (transactions MC8*).

Mario

Integrated Planning in COPA using KEPM and loading of quantity to SOP

Hi,
We are in process of testing integrated planning in COPA using KEPM and loading of quantity to SOP (MC87) or Transfer Qty to SOP - KE1E. I created a planning level with basic information to plan quantity on product with Period/Year, Version, Plant, Product, Record Type (F), Unit Sales Qty.
Also created Planning Package & Planning Parameter with Planning layout and entered quantity for a material which creates a profitability segment with quantity update. The problem occurs when transferring to SOP the sales quantity either using MC87 or KE1E, it goes into a loop and times out. We tried using different parameters, but ended up with same result.
Are we missing some Config/steps here, any thoughts will help.
Satish

Hi,
You need to transfer COPA plan to inactive version of SOP through KE1E. Thereafter, in PP, the same is transfered to active version through MC78. Thereafter it is transferred to Demand Management through MC74.
Please check with your PP consultant.
Trust this helps. Please assign pts if useful

How to create new structure for SOP?

How to create new structure for SOP? and transfer data for long term planning?

hi dear
For SOP there are two types
1. Standard SOP : this the standard SOP configured by SAP consider the Level by Level planning and planning done for product group .
2. Flexible planning SOP: this option is given, so that Rough planning/SOP planning can be done as per the client requirement.e.g planning structure can be sales orgn., distribution channel, division, plant, material
For configuring the flexible planning SOP follow steps
1. Define info structure in IMG
where u define the characteristic and Key field
2. Set parameters for info structures and key figures
Sales & Operations Planning >Master Data>Set parameters for info structures and key figures
where u define Planning method
Consistent planning
Level-by-level planning
Delta planning
and aggregation type
1. Average calculated
2. Total created
3. No aggregation
3. create Planning type with reference to info structure

Sales planning through MRP

hi,
Our client has a requirement for MRP.
From sales side they want to enter sales tentative plan which will be integrated to MRP.
Please guide me how and where to enter the sales plan/sales budget.
Thanks in advance..

Hi
It is not exactly clear for me what do you mean by sales tentative plan.
You may consider using Sales and Operations Planning (SOP) and then transfer data to demand management.
Take a look on the following document for more details:
Standard SOP Process flow...
In some cases, it is not necessary to use SOP and you can input your sales plan directly on demand management.

In SOP- transfer forecasted values from material master to info structure?

Hi All,
I wanted to test out a few scenarios. Do you know the answers / can you help simulate and check the below?
1.     If I run the forecast using different models for different materials using the total forecast run (MP38), the forecast values will get updated in the material master. Can I get these values transferred directly into the SOP (standard or flexible), without re-running the forecast in SOP? What I am looking at is a possible scenario where individual materials have different forecast model, so do not want to run forecast from SOP using one model for all.
2.       Can you have the capability of selecting diff model (say based on material master data) in SOP for diff materials? When I ran SOP, the model I specify there for forecasting is applied for all materials
3.       If I upload historical values/forecasted values in the material master, can I directly transfer them to SOP without any change to the value?
Appreaciate your inputs.

We are able to transfer data from CO-PA to standard SOP, But we tried for transfer to Flexible Planning SOP by creating Mass Processing Job setting as below configuration path.
Production -> Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) ->Functions -> Mass Processing -> Transfer LIS / CO-PA
After executing Job MC8G - Schedule, we checked in Tcode - MC8I u2013 Check, Status: Processed with errors, And also data are not displayed in Tcode : MC95 for Material & active version.
We couldnu2019t find log for error status.
What is the method / Procedure for transfer data to Flexible Planning SOP?
Please get back to me.

Dear,
Status:            Processed with errors ok
Activities checked:? what is the error message here like
   COPY
       Planning type in activity and job not identical
       Planning type of job: SOPKAPAM
       Plng. type of activity:Z004PLAN
When checking a mass processing job in SOP/flexible planning (Transaction MC8I), in the log error message "Activity and COPA profile have different planning versions?
Or planned/actual indicator in the COPA profile?
Version should be        A00
Please check the MC8S. Then an Avtivity in MC8T
after you create the job in MC8D with the acitivity you have defined for your info structure.
After that check in MD62 for plan value.

MC74 : how transfer SOP to PIR for a specific mrp area

Dear guru ,
i want to transfer Planning Data of a SOP Version for a single material to Demand Management.
The copy to Demand is run directly into the plant of the SOP Version.
I manage MRP Area.
How can I transfer directly SOP to PIR for a specific mrp area ?
Thanks in advance

Hi..
In MC87 you have to first create planning data.. SOP.
Then if you go to MC74 your planning data will be transferred..
Ii.e you will get the PIRs automatically from Demand management..
Hope the above clarifies..

SOP and transfer to Demand management for MTO material

Hi all,
I have the following situation:
I have a material, a finished goods product with planning strategy 20 Make to order defined in the material master. I enter a sales forecast for the material in SOP in SAPECC (transaction MC87), works fine.
But when I try to release the forecast to Demand Management (MC74), I get the following error message: "No requirements type exists for material 110100 1 in plant 2". I can see that planning strategy 20 MTO does not have any requirement type defined.
But what is the best practice then to forecast on MTO materials (with strategy 20 MTO)?
What I want to do is to bring down the requirements of the MTO material to Long term planning to get a BOM explosion for the components. I realize that I should not start a production plan for the MTO material, but I want to plan the requirements for components several months ahead.
What is the best practice? Should I use a different production strategy? Am I missing config or any fundamental thinking here?
I need to have the material as a MTO strategy, but I want to plan the components.
Please, give me input on this if you have any solution.
Regards,
Lars

Hi Lars,
Here's what you need to do:
1. Instead of pure 20, customize a strategy group that has in it 20 and 10, and attach this strategy group to your material.
2. In MC74 specify requirements type LSF, demand management version, and make sure to uncheck the "active" box (otherwise you will get requirements in the operative system, and not only in LTP).
3. Do the transfer, and include the version in a LTP scenario.

Mario

SOP:transfer to demand management.

How to transfer the bom collectively in SOP & how tondelete the product group.
Regards
bhuvan

Bhuvan,
What do you mean by "transfer the bom collectively in SOP"? There is no concept of BOM, but there can be product groups, which can have Product Groups / Materials as members, the lowest level of the product group should contain material as members.
Product group is nothing but Material master, with material type PROD, so you need to follow the reorganisation process same as the one for material master to delete product group. If you are looking at deleting the members of a product group, then that is possible in the change mode of the Product group transaction.

Transfer SOP plan to Demand Mgmt

Dear friends,
I have created SOp through MC88. And i wants to transfer SOP plan to demand management through t.code MC74.
While filling the data in the fields, i do not know what to enter in the field "Version" either "00" or "GP".
Please guide me what data to be entered in the "version" field?
Thanks
Shri

If i understand clear on your querry you want to transfer the SOP plan to the demand management.
1.In such case you can use any version.
2.But the version needs to be active .
version in Demand Management:
1. these are used to just manage the diff types of demand in the demand table just for recognising them
2. If they are active then they will be included int he MRP ELSE no.
let me know if you need more answers

TCode: KE1E - Transfer from CO-PA to SOP Functionality

Hi everyone,
Hope you can help me a little bit, does anyone knows how does KE1E transfer plan and where does it remain or how, in the form of what kind of orders or requests ? I have looked for information but haven't got any yet.
Thanks on any advice
Bk

Hi MS,
Please check to include the attribute unit for your quantity field .Have you entered the quantity unit field in the planning layout?
Normally this error is produced because there are planning records in your CE2XXX table without units of measure.
Therefore if you want to transfer the affected segments to SOP, you should correct these segments.
In case you need you can delete the data and re-enter it.

Abhisek

COPA Configuration Steps to transfer data to SOP

Hi Vicky
Setting the Switch is the reccommended process.
But there may be some cases in Implementation where the switch is not switched on.
For Example,
Lets say in one company they want PA to be implemented first without OM. and They also wanted to maintain Cost center.In this case U have to put the switch Off inorder to make the Cost center field Editable in IT0001.
And after some time client implemented OM and wants to transfer the data from PA.In This case U have to use the reports in order to fill the gaps between OM and PA.
So Basically Switching on Is the correct process and reports are used to plug the holes made my making the Switch Off.
Hope this clears U.
Award Point if Helpful.
