MDS and forecast spreading

Hi Folks,
Is is possible to spread the forecast in ASCP when the demand source is an MDS with forecast entries.
If I use the forecast set as the demand source in the plan, forecast spreading works correctly. However when I use my MDS which uses the same forecast as a source and consume sales orders, the ASCP plan does not spread the forecast quantities.
Many Thanks.

Abhishek,
That is the correct Global Order Promising behavior. Forecast demand will be ignored in your Available To Promise (ATP) results. The intent is to show current sales order demands and the amount of supply that is available to promise to new sales orders. Your forecast is intended to drive these supplies until those sales orders are entered.
Regards,
Kevin

Forecasting Spreading NOT rounding the Qty(We DONT want DECIMALS) in Foreca

Hi ,
I want oracle will "round" the forcast Qty.Is there any Profile Option? Or setup ?
Please help me
Lokesh

You can try to use the round order quantities item attribute.
The ASCP UG says :
For items under rounding control, the planning engine rounds a spread forecast quantity up and applies its cumulative remainder to the next bucket. It uses the item-organization item attribute.
However, ASCP dev did say recently that they do not support rounding during spreading of forecast.
Inline forecasting engine rounds the forecast quantities based on item attribute. The issue here is that forecast spreading is done after inline forecasting has completed and rounding control attribute is not respected during forecast spreading.
It's a bit contradictory to what development says and as to what is in the UG. They will probably say is a Doc bug.
Best regards
Geert

ASCP engine does forecast spreading or forecast consumption first?

We are using Demantra for forecasting in Monthly bucket.Say for March 2011, forecast is 2300 qty.
And we have a sales orders 1 for 200 qty on 1st March 2011.
Planning Bucket is daily for 6 months with 5 days working. So for march we have 23 working days.
I think ASCP will first convert Forecasting bucket to Planning bucket, which means each working day will have forecast of 100 qty. ( Forecast Spreading)
Then Sales order of 200 qty will be consume by forecast on March-1,2011 ( Forecast Consumption)
If I check Consume forecast by Bucket then on 1st March, I will have 100 qty sales order and 100 qty forecast.
If I uncheck the above option in plan then based on consumption days it will work.
Our requirement, is first forecast consumption should happen before forecast spreading? How can we achieve this.
So really, Sales order on 1st March for 200 qty should be consumed against 2300 qty for March month, and then 2100 should be spread to 23 working days, Is it possible?

Hi Sandeep,
Thanks for pointing me to the section.
One solution can be the forecasting and planning bucket to be same, periodic. In this the forecast consumption will happen correctly, no issue and within the bucket. But the issue will be the ASCP will recommend planned orders on the last day of the period, which won't work. We want the planning & supply in daily bucket.
If we have forecasting bucket monthly and planning bucket daliy than every day when we run the plan we have to update the forward and backward days so that consumption can happen exactly the same month.
So I am currect with the understanding that forecast spreading happen first and then consumption.
Thanks

Which table can we see consumption and forecast values in forecast based planning

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am working on implementing forecast based planning for Spare parts for my client. They have one Main Plant which do purchase of Spare Parts and through Stock transfers moved to 60+ Plants from where Spares are being sold.
Now I am carrying out SAP trial runs for a set of 160+ materials with various models and want to compare with their existing methodology of requirement calculation.
I want to compile Consumption and Forecast data month wise for these trial materials (160+ materials in 60 Plants) . One way I thought is to go individual Material Master and looks for values in Forecast view. However it is tedious and time consuming.
The table name shows RMCP2 and RM03M for forecast and Cons values, but I could not find the table.
Hence I want to know which table if I can view I can get the consumption and forecast data calculated for quick copying and compilation.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Dear Mariano,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Like I could able to get the consumption values for materials using table MVER and fields GSV01,GSV02 etc.,
What field I need refer in table PROP for getting forecast values.
As such I could not see any column where in data are similar to Forecast view.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Joining Actual and Forecast Data

Hi All,
I have two cubes one for actual and one for forecast data. In the actual cube data comes at 0MATERIAL, 0CUSTOMER, 0DIVISION, 0FISCPER level for for key figure 0AMOUNT (Actual Revenue). In the Forecast Cube the data comes at ZMATERIAL, ZCUSTOMER, ZDIVISION, ZFISCPER for the key figure ZAMOUNT (Forecasted Revenue).
How can i merge the two providers where in one single row i can show both the actual
and the forecasted amount for the same material, customer, division and fiscal period.
Thanks
Rashmi.

Create a multiprovider consisting of your actual and forecast cubes. Within the multiprovider, include the desired info objects (e.g. 0MATERIAL, ZDIVISION, etc.). Within the multiprovider 'Identification' function, be sure to map the applicable info object(s) from each cube to the multiprovider info object.
For multiprovider 0MATERIAL: map Actual 0MATERIAL and Forecast ZMATERIAL.
For multiprovider ZDIVISION: map Actual 0DIVISION and Forecast ZDIVISION
You then build your query using info objects within multiprovider.

Best MRP type and strategy to run MRP for component using PIR and forecast

Hi Experts,
I want to run MRP for Component parts. I need to run MRP based on Planned independent requirements and Forecast Data.
Which is the best suited MRP type and strategy.
Please help to share bestpractices if any. thank you.
Rayudu

Hi,
is the components you are talking are Semi finished materials or Raw materials and Packing materials which are procured from vendors ???....
It is not a good idea to maintain planning strategy for Components which are part of BOM...these materials are automatically planned when the header materials of these components are planned....
If these components are not part of any BOM then you can try the option of using forecast based planning.. MRP type VV and maintain the forecasting view in the material master
You can also explore the option of consumption based planning like manual or automatic reorder point planning...
Thanks
Kumar

Setup of reorder point planning and forecasts

Can someone please tell me the setup steps of reorder point planning and forecast sets..
I hav seen the documentation but am complete lost
Need ur help!
Emm

Hi Emm,
1. Create an item for which the inventory planning method should be reorder point planning along with that provide the minmum order quantity & maximu ordered quantity and the Source type should be supplier.
2. Navigate to > planning > forecasts > Sets: to define the Forecast Quantity. ( First Forecast Set, then Forecast Line, then Forecast Items > inside this define the forecast quantity.
3. Define the safety stock by navigating to Planning > Safety Stocks .
4. Then submit the reorder point planning with parameters as restock – yes and name of your forecast.

Jyoti

CDR in the context of Forecast and forecast version

Can someone please help me understand the term "CDR" in the context of forecast and forecast version? What is the expansion of the term CDR?

No idea of what is CDR ... We have CDP which means characteristic dependent planning.
Maybe CDR is also characterisict dependent somthing? (Just a guess ...)
What's the context do you find this term?

SAP ERP - Demand Planning and Forecasting

Dear all,
my customer is a wholesale company. They want to use a component in SAP ERP (not SAP APO), in order to make demanding planning and forecasting for the materials , quantities and dates they should make the purchases in order to cover the demand of their customers. What is the component that should be used in order to achieve this?

MRP can be used without production planning. SOP and Demand Management are not Production.
Nevetheless, if you want a simpler planning cycle, provided that you understand its ads and cons, you could go for Consumption Based Planning MRP.

Budgeting and Forecasting in AWM 11g

Hi,
We are looking at implementing the budgeting and forecasting capabilities into an Oracle OLAP 11g Cube built using AWM v11.1.0.6.0A.
On a very high level, we have the following questions:
1. What are the options available in AWM 11g for budgeting/forecasting.
2. What are the limitations/pre-requisites (in terms of cube or AW design).
3. Steps required to create a budgeting/forecasting model (like what needs to be done in the Cube Scripts) in AWM.
Any inputs on the above are highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Piyush

There is, unfortunately, no direct support for Forecasting in 11g AWM or the 11g OLAP API (which sits underneath AWM). But there is support for this in the OLAP DML and I recommend that you look at the OLAP DML Reference documentation. For forecasting, for example, see
FCOPEN function -- Creates a forecasting context.
FCSET command -- Specifies the forecast characteristics.
FCEXEC command -- Executes a forecast and populates Oracle OLAP variables with forecasting data.
FCQUERY function -- Retrieves information about the characteristics of a forecast or a trial of a forecast.
FCCLOSE command -- Closes a forecasting context.
These can be built into a DML PROGRAM, which can in turn be run from a Cube Build Script (as an OLAP DML command step).
You can write directly to the variables of a cube (provided you have not enabled Materialized Views, which is unlikely in this case).
There is support in the 11g OLAP API for MODELs in the OLAP DML sense, but this has not been exposed through AWM. You can use the API (Java or XML) to create models, custom members, and rules in models. See
OLAP Java API Reference (Javadoc)
In particular you may want to see classes
oracle.olapi.metadata.mdm.MdmModel and subclass MdmDimensionCalculationModel (to represent a model)
oracle.olapi.metadata.mdm.MdmAssignment (to represent an assignment of the form lhs = rhs in a model)
oracle.olapi.syntax.ConsistentSolveSpecification (to associated a model with a cube)
oracle.olapi.syntax.Expression and subclasses (to define rhs of model assignments)

Mds and mdworker are constantly using 10%-40% of my CPU since partitioning.

2 days ago I partitioned approximately 80GB of my 500GB 7200rpm macbook pro drive to be used for Windows 7. There was 430GB of free space on my HDD at the time so I know that there was no overwrite issue. It has successfully been installed and runs very well. However, since I did this the mds and mdsworker processes on the Mac side are constantly using large amounts of my CPU and are bogging down my computer. I understand that these services help create the Spotlight database. Is anyone aware of this issue?

After two days I'd say it's time to start over. Go to the System Preferences application- you can get to it by clicking on the Apple in the upper right corner, System Preferences is about a third of the way down the menu. When it's open, select Spotlight from the list of preferences. Under "Search Results" in Spotlight you will see the order in which results will be displayed. If you want to change the order, now would be a good time.
Uncheck all the boxes, this will remove them from the consideration of Spotlight. Then re-check the ones you wish to be available in Spotlight, this will force them to be re-indexed. My arithmetic says your files should occupy not much more than 50 GB, this should not take long to index.
You could try just Applications, or just System Preferences first to see if it is able to complete the task. If it takes longer than a few minutes, there's likely something else going on, perhaps related to your partitioning.
Good luck! Joel.
