MRP/Forecast Profiles - Program RMMM0001

Hi,
anyone out there knows how to turn off the program RMMM0001? It will run whenever a MRP or Forecast Profile is changed or Deleted.
In addition, can this auto-schedule be configured? That is, only run whenever change is done (even default value change) and no run if profile is deleted.

Mandatory/Default field for mrp/forecast profile mrp area

Dear guru,
In MM01/MM02 when i create a new mrp area for a material I want Mrp profile field and forecast profile field as mandatory field. Or as alternative solution purposed with a default.
How can I do that ?

Dear Murugesan ,
in OMSR i make the mrp profile (MDMA-DISPR) and forecast profile (MDMA-PROPR)
as required entries in the screen sequence.
But when I create/change mrp area fields the system dont consider as required these fields.
Are you sure that the field selection for data screen is concerning also for mrp area fields ?
Thanks.

MRP & Forecast Profile

Hi there,
When we mainatain Forecast Profile (T-code - MP30).. we have two colums to be checked for differrent fields Fixed value & Default value.
But we cannot set both the indicator at the same time for a field i.e both the fixed value & default value checked.
Same is also applicable for MRP Profile - MMD1
Then why SAP has provided a check box instead of radio button .
Please suggest me the same .
Regards
Kaushik Choudhury

Hi kaushik,
Default value - Indicator that specifies whether the field is copied to the material master record as a default value; that is, the value can then be overwritten in the material master record
whereas
Fixed Value - Indicator that specifies whether the corresponding field is copied to the material master record as a fixed value; that is, the value cannot then be overwritten in the material master record

Creating a New Forecasting profile for MRP

Hi there,
Please can somebody let me know how do I create a new Forecasting profile for MRP.
I want to see this in table MRPR once created. (field PROPR).
Kind Regards,

Dear marelizen
Use transactio code MP80.
Creating a Profile
The information contained in this info object is relevant to the material master for industry and to the article master for retail. Retail customers are requested to substitute:
article for material
requirements planning for material requirements planning or MRP
1. In the Material Master menu, choose Profile ® MRP profile or Forecast profile ® Create.
The initial screen appears.
2. Enter the name you want to give the profile.
If you want to use an existing profile as a reference, enter its name under Copy from so that the system can copy its values to the new profile.
3. Choose Selection screen.
The selection screen appears. It shows all the fields that can be copied to the MRP or Forecasting screen in the material master record.
4. Enter a profile description and select the fields you want the profile to contain, specifying whether each field is to be copied to the material master record as a fixed value or as a default value.
It is not possible to select Fixed lot size and Maximum stock level in a single MRP profile. However, if you select Maximum stock level, you must also select Lot size (materials planning).5. Choose Data screen.
MRP profile data is spread over two screens. To switch from one screen to the other, choose Data screen 1 or Data screen 2.
When you access the data screen from the selection screen, the system checks whether the fields selected are allowed to appear in the same profile.
The data screen appears, containing only the fields you selected on the selection screen. The fixed values and default values are displayed in different colors. All fixed values are required fields except where the field can also be left blank.
If, in the forecast profile, you enter N or 0 as the forecast model, no forecast is made.
Like forecast model N, if you enter forecast model 0 when maintaining a forecast profile, you will be unable to maintain any other field in the profile.
Unlike forecast model N, forecast model 0 deletes any existing forecast values when you change the material. This ensures that these values are no longer included in materials planning.
6. Enter the corresponding values and save the profile.
If the system detects inconsistencies or errors, it asks you to change the fields selected on the selection screen and/or to correct the values. Otherwise, the initial screen appears, where you can begin to create another profile.

Coverage profile and Forecast profile together

Dear all,
Can we use coverage profile and forecast profile together.What are the requirements for the same.
We are using coverage profile with following details
No. of periods=20
Type of period per length=1
Range of coverage in first period= 10
The forecast profile is set for
Historical periods=12
Initialisation period=2(Automatic,X)
Periods /season=12
Forecast periods=12
with different weighting groups.
But whenever forecasting is executed with some historical data for the 3 profiles it is giving same forecast values for all 3 profiles with different weighting groups.
Also the MRP type used here is a copy of the PD MRP type and not VV or VS.
Where can the problem lie?
Regards
Manisha

Dear
Coverage Profile and Forecast profile are two different subject !
If it is range of coverage profile , then The range of coverage profile contains the parameters for calculating the dynamic safety stock. This is a statistical calculation on the basis of average daily requirements.With the dynamic safety stock, you can determine a safety stock based on requirements and range of coverage. The dynamic safety stock adapts automatically to the changed requirements and is fully available for planning purposes. You can limit the quantities used in the calculation of the dynamic safety stock by defining maximum and minimum ranges of coverage. You can also limit the period of time by defining different time periods in which the range of coverage is valid.
I hope you are asking about saferty caverage profile,,here basicalli we are setting the system to see how the safety stock is to be covered and calculated.See the help link below and come back if required
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/f3/dbbb16b36111d1a6770000e83235d4/frameset.htm
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPLO/Dynamicsafetystock+calculation
Where as Forecasting Profile , please refer the below :
Profiles
One more query : Also the MRP type used here is a copy of the PD MRP type and not VV or VS.
I think you should use Forecast Base MRP type like VV rather PD.PD does not carry out any Forcasting Functionality .Please check wether you replicate PD from VV , then it is possible to execute Forecast specially Total Consumption set up in MRP type .
Hope this will be useful

APO DP - loading of selections and forecast profiles assigned to selections

I am using APO DP V5.
I am forecasting at a 'product at customer' level.
I have a flat file containing the 'product at customer' combinations - of which there are several thousand - and the proposed forecast profile for each combination.
Is there a good way for:
1. loading these combinations as a set of 'selection ids' into APO DP?
2. loading the set of 'selections assigned to forecast profiles'
I note that the 'selections assigned to forecast profiles' are in table /sapapo/dp_fcst2, but this table includes the GUID for selection ids, so I assume the selection ids must be generated first.
Thanks for any advice.
Regards,
Bob Austin

Hi Bob,
There was a similar question asked sometime back in this forum, and am attaching the replies given to that.

How is the forecast profile tied to the article master?

Hello-
I understand how to create a forecast profile, but I assume there is some way to assign that profile to articles or material groups, and I cannot figure that out. If it is assigned, it will show on the article master in the right field, but it cannot be changed or maintained in the article master directly. So, there must be another method to link/assign these outside of the article master.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks-
Brady

Hello-
Thank you for the answer, I found it - I have a Retail system, so it is structured a bit differently, but the tab is ultimately there.
Thanks again-

APO DP - validation of correct forecast profile

We are using APO DP V5.0.
In interactive DP, we forecast at the level of 'product at customer'. For the 'product at customer' characteristic we have navigation attributes, such as 'history type' (eg EPOS, despatch)
The 'history type' determines which key figure we use as history, and so we have forecast profiles which are relevant for the different history types.
If a user assigns a forecast profile in interactive DP to a 'product at customer', we want to get the system to check that the forecast profile is actually valid for the relevant 'history type'. We have named the profiles carefully so that, for example, the first x characters of the profile name reflect the history type; so we could have validation logic saying 'if history type = EPOS, check that forecast profile starts with 'EPOS'.
But how could this validation logic be triggered?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bob Austin, Atos Origin

Hi Bob,
Wow, what a brain bender!
I think this would require some fairly serious ABAP...
You can't get the value of an attribute interactively (via a macro function, for example using ACT_IOBJNM_VALUE()). You would need a Function Module that could manipulate the Planning Object Structure to grab the attribute of the characteristic in question, based on the current selection.
The name of the forecast profile also can't be done with a standard APO macro function. We had something similar where we wanted to get the name of the forecast strategy via a macro function, but we ended up needing to create a short Function Module in ABAP that could called as a User Exit Macro. The trick with the Function Module is that you will need is to tell the system to get the GUID of the current selection, then use that to find the name of the Forecast Profile (field PRPFL) from the /SAPAPO/DP_FCST2 table.
Once you have that, you could tell the Function Module to pass just the first four letters ('EPOS') back to the planning book user exit macro so that you could then compare that with the attribute value.
Probably you didn't need me to write this short functional spec, but it was a very interesting problem to consider. Hopefully somebody else will read this and tell us a much simpler way to do it.

Forecast profile not calculating error

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem related to forecast profile. I created forecast profile using seasonal model (Not Master forecast profile). When back job run. It's try to run with seasonal model, but it's can't, so it's don't compute MAPE error. With out MAPE it's does not know that it need to go back to Master forecast profile (56 and MAPE) or not.
So, I don't know why it not calculating MAPE? Do any one facing same kind of problem?

MAPE error will be calculated regardless of strategy mainatained in profile. but make sure you have selected MAPE error calc method while creation of forecast profile.
MAPE( mean aboslute persentage error) is the best method to analyse error even SAP recommended to use this method to get best results.

MRP Forecasting Run

Hi Gurus,
Need your expert advice on one of our issues.
We have a requirement that AMC should be taken for the past 6 months regardless if there is any usage or not. Standard behaviour is that during MRP Forecasting run, zero values in the earlier historical values are not taken into account.
For instance forecast period is set to '6' however, only last period has a value of 19.17 and others are zero in the historical data.
When we execute the forecast run system actually considers as 1 month even if we defined 6 month.
If standard SAP doesn't cater for the above, is there a way to twig the system to achieve the above objective? If yes, how can this address the zero usage and can it be restricted for a specific group of users?
Thanks.

Dear Poster
You have created a thread in the SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) area, is this correct? The issue reported seems like it should belong to an ERP or similar forum? Let us know of this issue refers at all to SMR_SERVER and we can proceed with assistance otherwise I will move your thread to a more suitable forum if SRM is not your issue!

Interested in bringing Past Due forecast from MRP Forecast Sets to ASCP

We are on 12.1.3 (EBS and ASCP) and are interested in bringing a week of past due forecast from MRP Forecast set into ASCP. We are running EDD plan.
Following have been enabled but no luck yet, open to suggestions or explanations.
1. Include Past Due Forecast = 5
2. Spread Forecast Evenly = checked (as we are in weekly buckets)
3. Demand Time Fence control = checked on plan options
4. Item are enabled for Demand Time Fence days = 0
5. Complete Collections and Plan have been ran.
Observation - Since the week start date is on Monday, when the plan ran from Tuesday, it brings the forecast for current week from Tuesday of that week onwards breaking into days. But it doesn't bring in forecast for Monday or prior week days.
Per ASCP guide, Include Past Due Forecast is useful only in case of Oracle Demand Planning.
Any help in this regards is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Forecast Profile Assignment At Customer Level

Hi All,
I would like to assign a forecast at a customer level that has multiple products that roll up to this one customer. Is this possible? When I enter one customer in the selection profile and load all of the item and then try to assign a forecast profile, it does not seem to hold the forecast profile and does not appear in the Assign Forecast Profiles to Selection (/SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2).
Are there any good document on restrictions and rules for forecast profile assignments to different levels of aggregation. For example, do you always have to be at a specific level to assign are forecast profile to a selection?
Thank you,
Rumi

Hi Rumi
I think it should be possible to Assign Forecast Profiles to Selection via T-code (/SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2). Please create respective selection in planning book as per your requirement. Then go to above T-code only give respective planning area and execute.
It will show you all the current selections with assigned FCST profiles. You also find few buttons on top. Please select the assign, which will take you to next screen for selection. You can given put the customer information in selection and execute which will give you all the selections with given customer.
Select your respective selection and than you can assign the FCST profile with some buttons from header.
Please read the following thread from SDN will give you more information about it.

Please let us know, if it helps you.

Assigning cvcs to forecast profile (in mass)

Hi All,
We have loaded thousands of new CVCs into Demand Planning and would now like to assign then to a single forecast profile. I thought that it was possible to do this via a background job since this contains a selection profile and a forecast profile. However, after the job completes, I do not see an assignment. Is there something that I may be missing here (a setting) or am is there another way to assign numerous CVCs to a forecast profile?
Regards,
Rumi,

Datta,
I am familiar with this transaction but I am not sure it is the best way to solve this problem I have described? Also, if new CVCs are generated they need to be assigned to the master profile via the background job. I don't want to have to use /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST2 to do this. Also, I don't know how you can assign a forecast profile to 10000 or more CVCs in this transaction?
Rumi
