Negative Forecasts appearing in APO-DP

Negative forecasts appearing in APO-DP against some brand/packs.Any reasons why????

Hello Kailesh,
Sometimes the planning book doesn't show what is saved in livecache. This is especially true when you have some default macros which gets executed when you load data. The default macros will run and therefore the planning book will show the result of the macro computation and not exactly what is saved in livecache. For example, if you have a macro in one planning book which computes the Net Forecast = Stat + Adjustments. Every time this planning book is run Net Forecast gets computed and also gets saved when the user clicks the save button.  Now, imagine what will happen if stat or adjustments gets changed somewhere else (e.g. thru another planning book or thru stat forecasting). When you go the first planning book in display mode, you will see that the data for Net Forecast looks "correct". However, this is not what is saved in livecache.
I suggest you try to check out your data using a planning book with no macros. You can also check out using RSA3 using the export datasource of your planning area. Both of these methods will show you what data was really saved in livecache.

  • APO DP Unable to save negative forecast values

    Hi,
    We are not able to generate negative statistical forecast in our system in the background or in the foreground. When the system is supposed to generate negative values, we receive the message "Forecast will be negative". Our business requirement is to allow negative values to be generated.
    I am using SCM7 EHP2. All key figures allow negative values to be entered, we did manual test entering data in the data view then saving -xx in cells and it works well. When background jobs are ran, the messages that are supposed to allow negative values are checked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi Maxence,
    I have had a similar requirement to see negative forecast.
    Anyway, it seems it is a standard DP behaviour. Take a look this note.
    1745808 - Negative forecast values set to zero
    According to this note, If you do not want to set negatve forecast value to zero, you have to modify the standard program to set the global parameter GV_NEGATIVE_FORECAST in class  /SAPAPO/CL_PE_FCS_SERVICE with value 'X'.

  • Function that zero out negative forecast in APO DP (SCM 4.0)

    Hi,
      I tried to look for a thread about the above function but I have no luck.  Would you kindly share a light if you have come accross negative number being generated automatically? (no macro is set up for negating forecast)
    This is the note that I would found from SAP help, but there is no actual direction to get it.

    it depends on the forecast strategy used....negative forecasts are automatically made zero by most strategies
    some forecast strategy will generate negative forecasts ( am not sure which of them do).. but in that case you can use a macro to make it zero
    I did not understand if you wanted Negative forecast or you want to zero out the negative ones
    pl check link... http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/42e03fc2269615e10000000a155106/content.htm
    SCM 5.0 has Planning area parameters that will enable you to not allow non-sero numbers in KF

  • Forecast Consumption in APO- No Data Available in Product View

    Hi Experts
    I facing some problem in Forecast Consumption in APO. The APO system is connected to a R/3 system. So data relevant for Forecast consumption comes from R/3.
    The allocation indicator in the requirement class assigned to the strategy maintained in the product master is set as " no consumption with customer requirement". and the same is transfered to APO.
    I have the changed the settings in APO and here are the setting maintained in APO to enable Forecast Consumption.
    Product Master Setting:
    a) Consumption Mode: 2 ( forward and backward)
    b) Consumption Period: ( 30 days both backward and forward)
    c) Strategy Group : 20 and assignment mode is set to "Assign customer requirement to planning with final assembly" and category group has sales order - BM
    d) The check mode setting in the ATP tab is set to "Assign customer requirement to planning with final assembly"
    I have a forecast for today's date and a sales order transferred from R/3 for the same date. But I do not see any data in the Forecast tab in the product view ( /sapapo/rrp3 Tcode)
    Please let me know if I am missing any setting in APO. Or the SAles order carries the strategy information from R/3 and influencing the consumption any way.

    Hi,
    What is your Forecast & Sales order quantity? If these are same then sales order consumed forecast, so you can not able to see in the rrp3.
      Second thing try to increse the forecast quantity than sales order quantity & then check it.
    Regards

  • Setting Negative Forecast Values to Zero

    In 7.0 we used a option - Setting Negative Forecast Values to Zero.
    But after upgrade to 7.3 this option is missing and I can find any information about this.
    Can we open the option in 7.3?

  • Forecast Deletion in APO

    How can we delete the forecast values in APO?
    Thanks

    Hi Siddharth,
    For reorganising the forecast values, you can use /SAPAPO/MD74 - transaction code.  Make sure before you use in live system, test in dev system how it works, understand the functionality and then try in live system.

  • Negative forecast release to snp

    Hi,
    we have a requirement to be able to release negative forecast values from dp to snp, i tried this out using the standard transaction sapapo/mc90 but whenever i release negative forecast values it zeroes it out in snp. Though we get a message that negative forecast values zeroed out.
    Is it possible to release negative forecast values to dp, if yes how?
    Thanks

    As far as i know, You cant release negative forecasts into SNP by MC92
    This converts the Time series to Order Series Data. There cant be a negative Forecast in SNP . Forecast is already a negative requirement. So a negative forecast is the equivalent of a reciept
    Why do you need negative forecast in SNP. If its for display purposes use TSCOPY and copy to a time series KF in SNP planning area.
    Else, using some mechanism, Filter out the Negative forecasts and make it absolute values and pass it on to SNP as Planned orders instead of Forecasts (you can change the order type when you release forecast from FA to something that is planned orders) you can pass the non-negative as forecast.

  • Negative Forecast in SNP

    Hi,
    I released forecast to SNP from DP. The released Forecast values in the standard planning book shows with negative values. To cross check the problem I tried to create Forecast from RRP3. The entered values shows up negative values in the SNP planning book. Any inputs in this regard would be appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    K7

    Hi,
          This is a bug. You never get negative values into SNP through release. You either need to upgrade the service packs or open a OSS message.
    Refer to this [post.|Re: Forecast Values appear negative in SNP Planning Book; that talks about a similar issue.
    Thanks.

  • Forecast creation in APO

    Hello,
    do you know whether transaction /SAPAPO/DMP2 can be used to create Forecast in APO - based on dependent demand in an inactive planning version, we would like to create forecast in the active version. When I execute DMP2 the log always says "No planned independent requirements generated". Do you have any experience?
    Thanks and regards,
    Anke

    HI Anke,
    i do have the experience while working on CBF..
    we have generated PIRs for componets for which dependent demand exists..
    make sure that your components have strategy 10 in MRP3 page tab..
    category in the DMP2 transaction should be AY and AZ.
    try this..
    I am working on the latest verion of SCM...let me know whether you are able to use the same settings..
    i will help you in this regard if the above settings do not crack your problem..
    regards

  • Forecast Transfer from APO to R/3

    Hi All,
    We have an issue wherein we wanted to transfer the forecast to R/3 for non-working weeks.
    We are planning in APO in weekly buckets. So, when we transfer the forecast for a week which is completely marked with non-working days at R/3, we want the forecast for that week at APO should get transferred to the rest of the working days of the respective month/period.So we dont lose forecasts for that week which are planned in APO.
    Do we have any settings by which we can force the forecast to push to the other weeks which are are haing work days in a period.
    This is how the system is behaving when we have a non-working day at R/3 in week. If I have 5 day a week and one day of that week is a now working day. So, when I transfer the forecast fromAPO to R/3, all the quantity for that week in APO is getting pushed to remaing 4 days of a week. the same functionalitywe would like to have if complete one week is non-working week, the APO data for that week should get transferred to next three available weeks.
    Hope I was clear. There is a business reason for this. the business/demand planner can plan their material even though the plant is shutdown for a week since they may want the forecast should get consumed by the Sales Order delivery. The Sales Order delivery can consume the existing stocks.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Regard,
    Rakesh Wade..

    Hi Rakesh Wade,
    Can you check "days in period" option in master forecast profile, i hope here we can adjust the days and recreate forecast for remaining days.

  • Forecast bias in APO DP

    I am using APO DP V5.1.
    Statistical forecasts show a consistent positive bias.
    Can anyone advise on how I can address this point?
    Thanks...

    There is nothing such an automatic bias correction in APO DP. If you see bias in the forecast, either the forecast model chosen is not the right one (in this case, you should change the model) or there is no right model for your data (in this case, you should forecast manually).
    Example for the first case: data with positive trend, forecasted with a constant model will show consistent bias. The solution in this case is to change to a trend model with good parameters.
    hope this helps,
    Pablo

  • Inconsistent forecast consumption in APO and R/3

    Hi Experts,
    We have a couple of issues with consumption in our system.
    We have a situation where APO is showing us consumption in the /SAPAPO/DMP1 view but no consumption showing in the planning books and the RRP3 requirements screen. Interestingly, when we go and change the sales order in R/3, the consumption then gets triggered in APO. So there seems to be some kind of delay and the consumption seems to be lagging a step behind or somehow a trigger isnt hapenning first time around.
    The other is more a question...
    If you do the F1 help on Fwd consumption in APO and R/3, it tells us that in R/3 consumption is based on workdays as defined by the factory calendar whereas in APO, it talks about consumption considering calendar days and not workdays and that its not possible to define a calendar to make it work with workdays.
    We have fwd consumption set to 2 days and we have noticed that if e.g the order comes on a Friday, consumption gets lost due to the following two days being Saturday and Sunday. Whereas in R/3 it jumps forward and consumes Monday and Tuesday and ignores Satuday and Sunday (We are using 5day calendars). This is causing a big headache and consumption is all over the place.
    any ideas?

    OK, I have found the solution to half the problem. It was a system bug and the last sales order wasnt being consumed and there is already a note out for that.
    Still confused about the workday vs calendar day issue in R/3 and APO. How do we align the two systems and get the consumption happening in APO for 5 days and not 7 days?

    Usman

  • Mass deletion of Forecast & Backlog Confirmatin from APO

    Hello All,
                       Is there any transaction to delete the backlog Forecast & Confirmation from APO. Can MC75 transaciton in R/3 delete the Forecast from APO in mass. In current senario I am doing manual deletion of backlog Confirmation  every month. Can any transaciton help me in same ??
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Mohit,
    You can use TCode- /sapapo//rlcdel, which is the same as the report in SE38- /sapapo/rlcdelete. chose 'select object by categories'. Put the order category as F*, put the date range, planning version, product and location and execute. This will delete the forecasts for the particular product/loc.
