MC9B after MC9A for flexible planning

I have custom infostructure where we do flexible planning. We are using consistent planning
when I have data in my structure, I run MC9A to create planning hierarchy.
to generate proportional factors, I need to run MC9B..
but even without doing MC9B, I am able to change the quantity on the aggregated level and have the data dis aggregated to the bottom level with correct proportions.
so what is the use of running MC9B? I am confused here...
also in MC7F, there is a check box" planing objects check: off". what will happen if check this box? I read the f1 help but doed not get it.. Thanks

Any help is appreciated

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.

No Planning happening with scope of Planning for total Planning

Hi SAP Gurus,
The Scenario is for Consumption based planning and MRP run.
I have created a New Entry under Scope of Planning for total Planning run and entered the required two plants under sequence of Plants.
I have also entered manually consumption values for trial materials in those two Plants. I maintained MRP and Forecast View.
I then ran MD01 using the Scope of Planning created. But when I check the MD04 results for trial materials, no Planning has happened.
I shows a message "Pl carry out Forecast for material xxx in Plant xxx "
Then using T.Code- OMDO, I created a variant for each Plant and also Scheduled. But after then also with MD01, No planning is happening.
When I check under T.Code - OMDU, the respective Plants were activated
Pl guide me the steps for Creating of Scope of Planning and then how to set up planning file and what could be the reason materials are not getting Planned.
thanks and regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Dear Mariano,
MRP type VV (forecast based Planning) is used for these materials.
I defined Scope of Planning for Total planning and included Plants in sequence.
Then I created new Variants for Planning file entries for these Plants (T.Code - OMDO).
Then I created new Variants for Planning file entry consistency for these Plants (T.Code - MDRE)
After then I executed Mass Forecast (T.Code - MP38) and then carried out total planning run using T.Code - MD01.
Now the materials are getting planned.
I missed Forecast run earlier.
I found the reason for the problem, hence closing the thread.
Thanks to Mariano and Daniele for your inputs.

MRP TYPE for Periodic planning in the material master.

Dear gurus,
i need planned the materials in the periodic modality, are there the type MRP in the material master for create the planned file ( table MDVM) one once a month or in the specific period chose ?
Example :
I need that the material master don't create a file planned ( MD20- TABLE MDVM) for a change of the requirement situation new , but i would like that the flag in the table ( MDVM) or file of the planning MRP created when the today date is in the period specific.
31.3.2011 (or period 1.4.2011- 10-4-2011)Date for the create a file MRP and after when run MRP planned the material, for others scenary the system must not planned the material.
Are there the MRP type for my problem? Or the customizing setting?
Thanks a lot
Dani

Dani,
Not sure if MRP type or customizing can help here. And even if we are able to achieve this requirement it will be applicable at plant level.
However, try exploring option of periodic lot size (weekly, monthly, etc). This will work according to period you've set and should give you the results you are looking for.

Payment terms for Invoice plan

Hello All,
I've a Partial Invoicing plan for my equipment purchase. The first milestone payment is along with Purchase order. Means need to pay immediatly.
My PO is having payment terms - Payment 90days after end invoice month. This payment term is ok for all milestone payments. But for the first one, I need to pay immediatly.
Is it possible to have different payment terms / bye pass payment terms for the first milestone?
I don't want to use downpayment option for this.
RaviChandran

Hello.. Thanks for your feedback.
But in IV, normally due date is calculated from baseline date. Base line date will be defined by IV creation/posting date (Based on IMG setting). So by making the START Date for invoice Plan as Past Date will not work.

Generating data source for a planning area

Hi all,
I have a problem when generating a datasource for a planning area as it gives the following logs.
Activate table /1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX
Tabble 1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX was activated with warnings
and the data source is not being activated.
I have also created an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX and tried to activate the datasource for the planning area ,it is saying the datasource already exists.
Can anyone give me a straight solution for this.
thnks in advance.

Hi Satish,
After you generate the datasource, go to transaction /n/sapapo/sdp_extr and try doing a check on this datasource. If you still get those warning/error messages, try the Repair datasource option and see if it fixes the issue. In RSA1, replicate this datasource and then try activating it there and see if it works. Don't create an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX, as this is not a standard recommended way of doing it. Good luck

Organization View for Succesion Planning-My Org. Units!

Hi,
We are in process of implementing Nakisa (Release: 301_701) with EHP4
for few components including Succession Planning.
We have completed Admin settings for Succession Planning. When we log
in to End User section for succession planning & go to My Work
Area>>Visualize>>My Org. Units- Initially it was giving error "Cannot
find the root of your orgchart. The orgchart box may have been deleted
or incorrectly specified, or no valid org structure can be found for
the selected effective date. Please change the root of the chart or
select another effective date".
After closer inspection & using debugging for RFC
HRMSS_GET_ORGSTRUCTURE_AS_XML, we got to know that there are few
Organization Views which are hard coded (somewhere) but were not
present in OADP configuration for MSS. These Org. views are (1)
TMC_O_S_CP_SUPO (2) TMC_O_S_CP_ORG (3) TMC_O_S_CP_POS. I tried to add
these Org. views with relevant configuration (not sure about it
correctness)in OADP configuration. Surprisingly, system has started
showing responsible Org. Unit for Talent specialist. But still it is
not showing all the Org. Units inside Responsible Org. Unit & also not
showing the positions inside it. I think I'm going wrong in assigning
Evaluation paths to these Object Selection rules because I do not know
the purpose of each of these Organization Views. I tried to find some
information in User guides & SDN but failed to got something relevant.
Please Help!

Installed the Nakisa Add On?
Installed the Nakisa transport?

False advertising for GSP Plan?

Okay, I purchased an HTC One for Verizon back at the end of August from my closest Best Buy. I got a great deal trading in my Galaxy S3 and paid pretty much for the case and screen protector only, couldnt pass that up. I was told when I bought the phone that their Service Plan on cell phones was the best, instead of dealing with Verizon, taking the phone in there with their service plan and having to get a refurbished phone, I could go with their plan, take the phone back into Best Buy no matter what the issue is and have it replaced with no deductable AND I would get a NEW phone on the spot. Plus he said the plan was changing soon and that a deductable was going to start and that it would make sense to get in on the plan now. So I did that because I know about getting refurbished from Verizon and I didnt want that, based on what they told me.
Fast forward 6 months and my phone breaks, complete power failure. I take the phone to the store, no issues really getting my service, employee checked over the phone and had it ready for replacement pretty fast. Besides being a day later than he said, as of now my phone hasnt come in to the store yet and I had everything done at the store on 3/3/2014 and today is 3/6/2014. I was pretty content, until I decided to check out the forums and see what other people were dealing with and happen to find out that my phone will NOT be a new one.
In a lot of the cases I've been reading here, it seems pretty common practice in best buy's stores to have their employees blatantly lie to the customer about what the protection plan actually does. I was told I would get a new replacement on the spot, which is the whole reason I signed up for this plan and the reason I didnt get the extra coverage from Verizon, I KNOW they deal in refurbished phones for replacements and being told by Best Buy that they will give you a knew phone and not to deal with Verizon for coverage was a great thing to hear and of course sign up for.
So after reading all of the complaints about getting a refurbished phone when they were also promised a new one, I felt the need to post my exact same experience from a completely different store. I cant imagine (having worked for Staples and Gamestop over the years) just telling people a flat out lie about what I sold them. Is anyone held accountable for this? Is this something Best Buy is promoting their employees to do, I find it hard to believe this could happen across so many stores in so many places if that is not the case. So now I know that I'm getting a refurbished phone and I'm not very happy with that and I'm certainly not happy about being misled and lied to.
I seriously hope there is no issues with phone after this exchange, now I've bought plenty of refurbished items and have had no problems with them, but when I'm told I'll get a new phone on the spot if mine breaks for whatever reason, I kind of expect that to happen. My phone was supposedly in stock at the store too, but I was also told that didnt matter because it had to be ordered and done this way. What sense does it make to not give out one from inventory to make sure the customer has a phone right away? Why not have the ordered item simply replace the one you could be giving to a customer. This would certainly make the customer a lot happier AND it would show that everything your employees are telling them is true.

Alrighty, here is an update.
I got my new, haha, not new but refurbished phone yesterday 3/7/2014
All I thought was working fine with it. But it so happens that the top speaker on the phone is blown out, it crackles like crazy and the top of the phone has a small separation in the casing.
I'm so happy they replace your phone with a broken refurbished one. If anyone from Best Buy reads this, I'm not a happy customer right now. My phone showed up at the store completely dead, I had to wait 15 minutes just for them to charge it enough to get it turned on and activated. Nothing else was tested and a simple test of a video or something would have shown right away that the top speaker was blown out.
Now I'm going to have to drive another hour to the store and have this all done again, at least this time my phone works otherwise, but still this is pretty unacceptable.

MRP Areas in Flexible Planning?

Hi,
we are in the process of evaluating different planning tools for our long term planning. And I guess we have two options: APO-DP and Flexible Planning in ECC. We are a non manufacturing (government) organisation and want to try to forecast/plan future demand and requirements. We are getting our demands from maintenance orders and cost center consumption. Reqs are in the form of components on maintenance orders and STO's between storage locations in different MRP areas.
Is it possible to do flexible planning and taking mrp areas into account. Will it be possible to forecast future demands on Plant and MRP area level. Mind we are not selling anything through sales order, so we are not actively using SD org structure.
Best regards,
Kenneth

Dear,
APO-DP Vs Flexible Planning in ECC. Yes APO advance but ECC is more user friendly.
The master data is managed in R/3 and transferred to APO using CIF. An issue storage location is maintained in the R/3 production version. This issue storage location is assigned to an MRP area in R/3. This MRP area is contained in the integration model (transaction CFM1). The MRP area is therefore transferred to APO. The APO plan (PPM or PDS) is created in APO in the MRP area. Using this plan, a planned order is created in the MRP area location in APO.
If you want the R/3 behavior, you must not assign the component to the model in the MRP area location. The system will then automatically switch to the plant location, that is, the system then uses the plant location as the issuing location of the component in MRP area.
Hope it will solve your problem. Also refer the OSS Note 628739 - APO 3.x Release restrictions for MRP areas
