Need help on forecast consumption

Hi,
we have a requirement on forecast consumption.
there is a 'itemA' and the forecast is entered manually for this itemA with qty 10.
I have another itemB. Item A=ItemB ( in actual these are same items and the naming is different).
I'm creating a sales order for itemB with 5 qty
I want to consume the sales order against the forecast ( like the forecsat should consume and show 5 qty consumed against SO).
can anyone provide your inputs to achieve this.
I tried item relationships and cross references. Not helpful.
regards,
Karuna

Hi Karuna,
sounds very reasonable your request, we have similar requirements, so I would love to hear something from you if you found a good solution.
At the moment I have only two ideas, but I did not really check them:
1. Use End-Item-Level Substitution
2. Product Family
1: I don't know which version you are using, but I found something in ASCP Implementation and User's Guide for 11i (B10144-10) in the section 17: There is something mentioned about End-Item-Level Substitution, however I did not find some info about the forecast consumption in those cases. But you said that you tried already with Item relationships, so I guess with the substitution we do not get what we need...
2: You could also think about using Product Families, and put the Forecast on the Product Family item, and if I am not mistaken, then all items belonging to that Product Family should consume the forecast. You also find more details about this in the ASCP user guide.
best regards,
David.

  • Need help calculating power consumption

    I am calculating the power consumption for my new system but I have no idea how much power a radeon 9500 Pro and an athlon 2400 consume. Does anyone know?

    as the 9500 performs in a similar fashion to a high end gf4 i would guess 70 to 100 watts the xp 2400 is in the 75 watt range
    stick to 200 plus watt combined with 28a or so 3.3v
    or antec over 400 watts and you should be ok

  • Forecast consumption not working when using BAPI_SLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2

    HI SAP APO experts,
    I have a problem. We are sourcing our transactional data from non-SAP system so we had to develop an interface that will post transactional data to APO. We developed a program that will post data from flat file to APO LC. We  used BAPI_SLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2  in posting sales order but my problem is that its not consuming my forecast. I am using strategy 20 and backward consumption of 28 days in my product master.
    Using CIF, forecast consumption is working but not for our abap. Hope you can help me. Thanks.
    Mylene

    Hi Sarvesh,
    No, I was not able to find what is that internal request type 52. But I did some more research and you need to have check mode populated in your BAPI. In our case, we can not hard code check mode in the BAPI since we are using more than one check mode. My abaper just parsed then change the program that it will parse check mode from material master to the BAPI. Now, forecast consumption is alreayd working. But I am still facing 2 issues:
    1. After this change in the code, our program is now running longer than usual. This used to run only for 20 minuutes but now its running for more than 3 hours.
    2. For materials using demand strategy 20, sales order is consuming forecast which is correct. But when I delete this sales order, forecast quantity does not go back to original quantity in the planning book.

  • IMP:Forecast Consumption/Netting by incoming Sales orders in SNP

    Dear All,
    I need your help to understand the logic of Forecast netting by Sales orders in SNP. I can see the details in /SAPAPO/RRP3 but getting puzzled for soem SKUs. We don't have any PP/DS and GATP implemented.
    Below are the details and question based on that:
    I am releasing my forecast monthly and Sales orders as usual are coming from ECC and netting happens. Then next month again i have my forecast release then will the existing Sales orders will consume my this month's forecast (we are following backward/ foreward consumption type with 35 days back and 1 day forward, so as per the time period, SO can consume Forecast). I am a bit confused because pegging relationship is created between the demand and supply element and so new forecast shouldn't be consumed by the existing Sales orders. Am i correct here?
    Secondly, could somebody explain the difference between the 'Overview and detail' tab under the Forecast tab in /SAPAPO/RRP3. Sometimes i see some data under the 'Withdrawal Qty' column in Detail view of Forecast tab. Could somebody explain when it is populated.
    Regards
    Bishwajit

    Hi,
    I think your first question is regarding the pegging relationships used for forecasting.  Even when you release a new forecast, the system remembers the forecast relationship.  So, pegging occurs but in the sense that it pegs to forecast - in general - not to one specific forecast order in the system.  If you desire to "reset" these relationships, then you need to run the program for reorganization of independent requirements (/SAPAPO/MD74).
    Your second question relates to the existence of a withdrawal quantity and differences between the overview and details in /SAPAPO/RRP3.  The withdrawal quantity represents the amount of forecast that has been "reduced" from the forecast (corresponding to actual shipments that have been PGI'd against deliveries).   Forecast consumption occurs when SO's and Deliveries are created and saved and reduction occurs when they are PGI'd.  Withdrawal quantity corresponds to the reduction...
    Hope this helps!

  • Forecast Consumption in SNP for shipped qty's

    Hello experts,
    I got a question for forecast consumption in SNP and whether forecast stays "consumed" or not after a customer orders gets shipped (Post Goods Issue).
    My example is: I have a weekly bucket forecast qty of 100 in DP and release this to SNP. Now in SNP planning book I have 30 units of open Customer Demand against it ... means I have 70 in Forecast line (30 units got consumed correctly). Once I create a shipment for the open Customer Order of 30 units in R3 the situations remains the same .. but if I post the Goods Issue now on the delivery document the Customer Demand disappears (which is correct) but my Forecast line increases again from 70 to 100. I thought forecast consumption in APO would "remember" the already shipped quantities ? I know that you can reorganize open forecast but want I'm looking for is the standard R3 behaviour of keeping already shipped qty's as consumed. Can anybody help here or explain ?
    Regards
    Thomas
    Using SCM5.0

    Hi Datta,
    I checked the note  - there is only point 9 in the list saying:
    "9. During goods issue for the delivery in R/3, the forecast is always reduced to the date requested by the customer. In addition, overdeliveries are ignored."
    Unfortunately this doesn't explain how it works or needs to be done to have FCST consumption happen in APO_SNP based on shipped qty's. In my case FCST consumption works okay up to the point of posting the goods issue on a delivery document. I wonder if there something I need to activate somewhere to have this working since I can't see any "with drawn qty" in APO.
    Any other hints ?
    Regards

  • Forecast Consumption in SNP for Make-to-Order products

    We are working on using APO-SNP for Make-to-order products (PlngStrategyGroup = "81" in R/3). We want to achieve normal forecast consumptino on FinishedGoodLevel and generate PlndOrders which shall derive component demand for purchasing (such PlndOrers wont be released to production - they should only function as demand driven on component level)
    What we have done so far: Forecast in APO-DP on Finished good level exists and has been released to SNP. The product gets "ciffed" from R/3 into APO material master with planning strategy group "20" (which is basically "make-to-stock") --> we were hoping this would allow us to use "normal" forecast consumption but nothing happens (FCST is not being consumpted by open Sales orders). Within the product view of such products APO is still "realizing" that this is a make-to-order product.
    Any other ideas / thoughts what could be done to achieve "normal" forecast consumption on FGI level for make-to-order products in APO-SNP ?
    Tks !

    I checked in /n/SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View), unfortunately only FC exists there
    Seems that the open Sales Orders from R/3 are being created within another segment (the "element" Tab of RRP3 shows 2 segments:
    1) "Make-to-stock" (which contains the FC)
    2) "Make-to-order" (which contains the Sales Orders)
    That might explain the issue I see (FC and SOs are in different planning segment --> no consumption). Reading about planning segments in the help sounds like I need to find a way to bring Sales Orders for Make-to-Order products into the Make-to-stock segment  ... jus a thought .. any idea how to do this ? Does that mean I need to modify the CIF for Sales Order transfer for Make-to-order products ?
    Tks

  • CTM - Forecast Consumption for Dependent Demand

    Hi
    We have a scenario where the Planning Strategy for a assembly part (say X) is set to a custom copy of 70 so that forecast is consumed by dependent demand. Forecasts are released from DP for such assemblies.
    The Parent of this assembly (say A) is defined when sales order is taken (Engineer-To-Order scenario) and BOM defined with X under it. The Finished Good 'A' itself may have any other planning strategy (say Make-To-Stock or Make-To-Order).
    The problem we are seeing is that when system plans for X during a CTM run, the system adds the the dependent demand of the parent to the forecast of X itself. There is no forecast consumption, so this leads to doubling up of demand.
    I understand that forecast consumption occurs in Livecache and CTM does not store the intermediate results of planning in Livecache as orders, so there is no forecast consumption.
    Any suggestions on how forecast consumption of dependent demand can be achieved during the CTM run ?
    Thanks
    Rishi Menon

    Hi,
    Request you to go thru the CTM help library under topic sub assembly planning to resolve your issue..
    It says you need to carryout two CTM runs.
    In the first CTM planning run, you plan the sales orders, and in the second CTM planning run that you then execute immediately afterwards, you plan the planned independent demands of the assembly.

  • APO Standard Forecast Consumption Condition in /SAPAPO/DM_BADI_CSP

    Hi
    I need to change the standard forecast consumption logic to meet the business requirement which is as follows.
    Forecast should be consumed based on the fiscal month window.
    Note: Standard SAP /APO functionality do not support forecast consumption based on the fiscal month window instead system uses consumption period [in calender days] in backward/forward direction and system do not restrict the forecast consumption window based on the fiscal month.
    Please provide inputs if you have faced such situation. I have got a BAdI  '/SAPAPO/DM_BADI_CSP' that most closely resembles to serve the purpose but then I don't know much about it. Any sample implementation will also be helpful.

    Hi,
    For Issue#1
    I have ran this utility multiple times, but its not correcting. Probably i need to raise OSS message to sort it out.
    For Issue#2
    I think i have confused you, i have two scenarios first where i have sales order/delivery coming from external system. I am not worried about them as i will not be doing PGI for such order.
    Second scenario which i am having is very standard scenario. I have forecast in APO and creating sales order/ delivery in ECC. When they come to APO they consume forecast. Till this point every thing is fine. As soon as i do PGI of delivery, then that quantity should move to withdrawal from allocated, but in my case its not going to withdrawal but getting removed from allocated. This is resulting in increase of forecast quantity. I am tring to resolve this issue and seeking your help.
    Thanks

  • GATP - Forecast Consumption withdrawal quantity

    Hello Gurus,
    Need your expert advise on forecast consumption situation where we did PGI against Delivery qty wich is same as SO qty and and forecast consumptions happens and it show in withdrawal qty column when PGI. But if we cancel/Reverse GI, withdrawal qty still appears (I mean by right it should disappear from withdrawal qty and SO should appear as allocated qty since Cancelled GI), very much appreciated your help on it. Thanks.

    Hello Manimaran,
    Thank you for your time.
    Scenario:
    R/3 side                                        APO side  Elements Tab (RRP3)       Forecast Tab
                                                                                    Planned Qty                  Withdrawal    Allocated Rem Plnnd
    Sales Order - 100 qty                  SO 100                                              FC Req 200 (Initial 300)                        100                200
                                                                                    SO                                                        100   
    Delivery - 100 qty                         SO become 0                                    FC.Req 200                                          100               200
                                                          Deliv    100                                       SO                                                         100              200
    PGI - 100                                       SO & Deliv removed/disappeared    FC. Req 200                     100                                   200
    upto here the consumption situation correct but when we do Reversal PGI then
    Cancel PGI 100 qty                      Deliv  100                                            FC.Req 200                  100                                     200
                                                         SO    0  
    so here after GI reversal, it does not show SO as 100 in allocated since cancelled GI and it shows as withdrawal only, even we tried to delete Delivery but still it shows withdrawal as 100.. and also we even deleted SO, stiil withdrawal qty still shows 100, by right once SO deleted or cancel GI, withdrawal qty should be '0' and SO should be 100.
    Its a customised senario and how to fix this issue? Appreciate your help and advise with more info. Thank you.

  • Forecast Consumption

    Hi,
    we are running ASCP on 11.5.10 and use a forecast from ODP loaded into the ASCP plan.
    In the plan options we have set "Schedule By" to "Schedule Ship Date" because we want that everything is planned for the Schedule Ship Date from the Sales Orders.
    Our plan consumes forecast via "Forecast Consumption Buckets", meaning per Month in our case.
    The question is now:
    1. Which date from the sales orders is used to decide in which bucket the forecast is consumed? I suppose it's the same date as we have define in plan option "Schedule By", or?
    2.Does anyone know if it's possible to say that forecast consumption happend for example per "Request Arrival Date" but all Scheduling in the Plan is done on "Scheduling Ship Date" ?
    The background for these questions is:
    We have situations where sales orders can not be confirmed to the Customer requested date, so we have a different schedule ship date then requested ship date.
    But the forecast should be consumed in the bucket of where the customer has initially requested the ship date. If we consume in the buckets for the schedule ship date, then it might lead to the wrong conclusion that customer's sales orders are not in line with the forecast.
    Maybe someone has any experience on that, any help is appreaciated.
    Best regards,
    David.

    Hello Ravi,
    thanks for the response. Infact this is what I expected. Maybe I will raise a feature request on that question 2 because from business side it sounds logically.
    Thanks,
    David.

  • User exits/BAdIs for Forecast consumption by sales order

    Hello Experts,
    My question here is: When Sales Order either new or change comes from ECC to APO, what are key fields considered for Forecast Consumption? Is requirements strategy is considered from location product master or Sales Order brings own data from ECC into it's own structure? I have read from SAP help or documentation that Sales Order coming from ECC does not use requirement strategy from Product Master. Rather it get its own fields like planning strategy/group / requirement class from ECC. It uses location product master only to get consumption parameters like forward/back word consumption days. So I am thinking to use some user exits or BAdIs to enhance the incoming sales orders to consume separate forecast categories in APO.
    My requirement is:
    For the same one product we want sales orders (can have two different order types or identify by a custom field) to consume two different order categories (ie. FA & FC) by enhancing incoming sales orders. So we have regular 1)Forecast key figure which is 'FA' category and 2)Forecast Additional key figure which is FC category. When we release two separate forecasts from DP we release into these two key figures and categories. Now we want incomping sales orders to consume these two categories separately when our sales orders are having two different order types (i.e OR and ZR).
    I want to kow what way we can acomplish this? Are there any user exits or BAdIs for this purpose?
    I looked arount BAdI /SAPAPO/DM_BADI_CSP and I am not quite sure it's going to help. Are there any others?
    I appreciate if anybody explain me the process?
    Thanks in advance!

    Standard Logic --- Whatever plant is visible in the Sales Order, the sales order will appear under that Product Location in SNP
    There is no standard way of making the sales order visible in another location.
    Depending on your requirement(Ex: Forecast Consumption, planning etc),using APO-BW we can simulate the requirements in the other plant which can be a nightly run and not immediate.
    Now coming to your question, if the delivering plant is A, how does ECC Delivery document know when the sales order has plant B that the delivering plant is A.
    Can you be more specific.

  • Forecast consumption against CTO item in ASCP

    In source side module (OM, MRP) , following is the observation:
    i) we define a forecast set with consume check box checked for ATO model
    ii) create a sales order for ATO model , configure it .
    The sales order quantity for configured item is consumed against forecast of ATO model.
    I want to do same type(as source) of consumption in ASCP for configured item. Is this possible? I was trying to check this scenario in R12. Following is the setup:
    i) created forecast set with consume check box Unchecked for ATO model
    ii) create sales order for ATO model and configure it .
    iii) run collection
    iv) define plan with plan options ;
    consume by forecast bucket checked and explode forecast check box checked.
    In this above setup, the sales order quantity for configured item is not getting consumed against forecast of ATO model. Is there any thing wrong in setup ? please let me know.

    Abhishek,
    I would revisit this part of your setup for ASCP:
    "created forecast set with consume check box Unchecked for ATO model"
    You just instructed ASCP not to consume this forecast. The source side forecast set must have "consume forecast" selected.
    Starting in 11.5.10 release, Oracle implemented very significant improvements for CTO model forecast consumption. The old MRP process supported forecast consumption for one level in the sales order organization only. Oracle ASCP 11.5.7 through 11.5.9 supported multi-level, multi-org forecast consumption for one source of organizations only.
    So yes, your requirement is supported in 11.5.10 and later releases. ASCP will perform forecast consumption in this order:
    1. Consume the forecast for that specific Configured item (if entered)
    2. Consume the forecast for any remaining sales order demand for the referenced ATO Model.
    3. Explode the bill and consume the forecast for lower level options, subassembly configured items, and ATO models as needed.
    To support this in a multi-org environment you will need to provide a global forecast and appropriate sourcing assignments.

  • Question on Inline forecast consumption in ASCP

    Hi,
    We are trying to test the option of cosuming the forecast in ASCP.
    We currently have the forecasts consumed in the source i.e. at the forecast set by the planning manager. But we have new requirement that for some of the organizations, we would like the forecast to consumed in the plan NOT at the forecast set.
    So, can you please suggest how we can do that? And what are necessary setup steps or profile option settings that we need to do the forecast consumtion in the ASCP plan.
    Below are couple steps that I tried but the forecast consumption does not happen in ASCP.
    1. Stoppped planning manager
    2. Checked "Consume by Forecast bucket" on the Main tab of the plan options
    3. Set the values for Backward and forward days as 5 and 5
    4. Turn off the "Consume" option on the forecast set.
    I really appreciate you review and suggestions on this.
    Regards,
    Anand.

    Hi
    4. Turn off the "Consume" option on the forecast set. -- I did nt test recently but this in source FC set should be checked is wht I remember..
    also It does nt mater it gets consumed in source or not you will anyway collect orig FC qty and ascp will consume accoridng to plan options.
    Thnx

  • Planning item forecast consumption

    We have a business need to use forecast demand to react and order long purchasing lead time items early and stock sub-assemblies to reduce manufacturing lead time. However our sales orders are for unique items (configured by outside system) , which cannot be forecasted as these items never repeat.  It’s also not possible to create Product Family or planning BOM with Base model as assembly and saleable items as components because, saleable items keep changing (as they are unique). Due to this reason, standard forecast explosion will not serve the purpose of consuming the forecast. Hence, we are exloring the forecasting at Planning item level, which is a logical group of similar type of saleable items. Planning Bills will be created to include sub assmeblies and critical components. However now we have a problem with consumption, Planning item forecast needs to be consumed as sales orders for Unique items get created. Is there a way in standard oracle to address this business scenario? We are on 11.5.x and using MRP. Early response will be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Nitin

    Use planning BOM which contains your sub assemblies or intermediates. Explode the planning BOM to arrive at forecast for individual sub assemblies / components.
    Try using Forecast type : consume and derive in item setup
