No entry in MSDP_FCST2 after background run

Hi,
     I ran a forecast job using automodel 56 (for plant P1 and Material MATL1) in the background by creating an activity, job and scheduling.
I see the job completed successfully in SM37 and here is what I see in the spool f the background job
========
P1 MATL1
Planning horizon is smaller than past horizon of the forecast
Following forecast profile selected: BBJBQH{pSb2JX0000mAN0
Negative values in outlier correction set to zero
Outlier correction performed; 14 outlier(s) corrected
Required Time for Forecast in Seconds: 0.001
     Basic value cannot be re-calculated (Season index = 0 (status red)
     Forecast values will be negativ (Status red)
End of Processing Block:       1
========
I checked the transaction MSDP_FCST2 soon after the job is completed by the background job name and I see no entries.
The same when I run the forecast interactively gives me results. and the messages say nothing red.
The messages in interactive planning are as below:
Trend test called
Trend: 1.035-, Coefficient of determination: 2.246, Limit: 2.036
Trend test is positive
Automatic linear model selection has chosen linear regression
My questions here:
1. Does the spool mean that the forecast did not run? is that the reason why I am not seeing an entry in transaction MSDP_FCST2?
2. Why can't I see any such messages in interactive planning?
Thanks.

PLease check in /SAPAPO/MC8K transaction the message for the forecast job. A red indicator may indicate that the forecast profile was not generated.
In /SAPAPO/MC8T transaction under control parameters, make sure that "generate profile and assign it" checkbox is ON else strategy 56 will fail to create an entry in MSDP_FCST2
Ideally both background and foreground should give consistent results. However I have found discrepancies in linear seasonal regression particularly when seasonal test fails. we have alerted SAP for this through an OSS message though. hence i would request you to try to change history data just to make sure it is not data specific.

After reports running in background job need to get automatically open in excel sheet

Dear All,
I have a requirement which is new to me ,
Once the user runs the report in background system is displaying the output in HTML format .... But the Users needs to open in Excel sheet .
kindly do the needful
Regards
Srikanth BG

Hi Srikanth,
Excel processing in background is currently not possible using standard ways. There exist a really good external library that allows you to handle Excel files, and even create them in background. So you could create a final, ready to use Excel file from your background run that can then be opened.
You might have a look at the library here: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/abap2xlsx
Maybe it helps and suits your needs.
Cheers,

Planned order created after mrp run instead of purchase req

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem about planned order being created after mrp run jobs runs in background instead of purchase req. This is happening randomly. In the material master MRP view 2 procurement type is F and in the varient for the MRP job the in Purchase requisition control parmater 1 is marked that is purchase requisition. Also planning file is having the entry once there is shortage and hence MRP run is there always if there is shortage of material.

Automatic creation of PR after MRP run

Hi,
can anyone please tell me what all fields are picked up in a Purchase Requisition(PR) in the scenario of automatic creation of PR after MRP run.
If we are using more than 1 PR type in the system how is it determined during the MRP run that the PR will be created for which type.I understand that source list will have to be created and maintained but how is the PR type determined
Thanks in advance

In PR the system checks for the material and vendor. See the steps below.
Step1:Auto PO tick in material master Purchasing view (mandatory)
Step2:Auto PO tick in vendor master Purchasing view
Step3:Maintain Source list for vendor and material (If u r not using source list for auto PO creation, the assign the Source of supply to a PR in ME56)
Step4:Maintain Pur. Inforecord
Step5:ME59n : execute for PR and Vendor In ME59n, you can also select the PR document type. If you want to select different document types, go for multiple entries and enter the doc types.
When u execute, the system will give the appropriate PRs. Select the required and convert to PO.
But through MRP you cannot create PO directly only Planned orders can be created.
Reward if helpful..
Thanks,

RE : IDOCS did not Generate after payment run

I have a unique issue. After APP run (ACH) all accounting entries & payment document created corectly. However idoc's for 3 vendors did not generated. There is no issue with configuration as this is not a new vendor and every month payments made off automatically. Vendor complained non receipt of payment after 10 days and I could not find the log for that day. Could anyone please give some hints what could have gone wrong if anyone is expereinced this issue. As I said earlier all config and set up are correct and infact after that one payment is made to that vendor.
Thanks
Ivan

Hi,
Once APP run completed, Vendor open items will be cleared.
You have to create IDOC using WE19.
Run the Idoc using AL11
may be your problem will be solved
Thanks

Find out the process id from a background running script

Hello all:
I created a java service and use a shell script to drive it from background. In the script, I have code like this:
javac myApp & I want to find out the pid for this process. After googling for a while I came up with this:
echo $$ > test.pid However, I notice two things:
1. This only works when my script runs frontground, meaning only when I remove "&";
2. The pid file, test.pid, won't be created until the running script exits, after I clicked ctrl+c, for instance.
Now the question is, how can I find out the pid of a background running script from within the script itself?
I don't want to use code such as ps -ef | grep .... because of the possible name conflict.
Thanks,
Johnny

Yes, but as far as I understand this can happen to any background process, for instance, when the user logs out while a background process is still running.
But using the "$!" variable as you've shown is the "correct" solution.
This is probably what the OP is looking for:
javac myApp & echo $! > test.pidFrom the bash man page:
$ Expands to the process ID of the shell. In a () subshell, it expands to the process ID of the current shell, not the subshell.
! Expands to the process ID of the most recently executed background (asynchronous) command.

Table for Demands and Supplies after CTM run

Hi Gurus,
I want to get number of demands and supplies after CTM run .
I can see these details from opt11 . But i want to use these data points further for a custom developments .
So please let me know , in which table these entries sit ? There has to be a standard table for the same .
Regards
Bhupendra

Vikas,
You can also improve changing the data points in CTM global setting /SAPAPO/CTMCUST...
Enable check box : Asynchronous Update and Define appropriate Packet Size and also update
Package Size for Creating Orders
Package Size for Creating Pegging Rels
Package Size for Order Selection
Below example illustrates the improved performance by enabling check box : Asynchronous Update and Define appropriate Packet Size
If you set the indicator, CTM first plans the number of demands
specified in the Package size field. Then the system creates the
corresponding orders in the liveCache. At the same time, CTM continues
with the planning for the remaining demands.
If you do not set the indicator, the system first plans all demands and
then creates the orders in the liveCache.
Example
You want to use the asynchronous liveCache update for 20000 demands.
Enter 1000 as the package size. The system attempts to fulfill the first
1000 demands. The orders for these demands are created in the liveCache,
whilst CTM planning continues for the remaining 19000 demands."
We had similar issue and CTM performance improved significantly after updating the above setting.

Workbook column should preserve color after the run in Analyzer

Hello all,
I use BEx SAP BW 3.x.
I made a workbook , and I put column 3 to have orange color in this workbook then I saved it.
Then I run a query, in BEx Analyzer.
My orange column is orange, but just partially, top and bottom. In this column I have now data
and for that zone with data the background is white, not orange.
Please provide me a solution, what should I have to modify, so my entire third column to be orange after the run in Analyzer .
Any clues would be appreciated.
Thanks.

In bex 3.x embedd the query in your workbook then change the format of the style of the cell not the cell itself
This will only work if the column has a unique bex style
Other than that nto much use unless you have a piece of macro code or use excel functionality to add an extra column and make that orange
YOu could of course have the column being an exception where the exception is always true - and then format the exception style to be orange

Hi,
Planning mode controls how the system is to deal with proc proposalexisting
from last planning run which are not yet firmed in the next run.
When we are changing reqmts qty and dates for proc proposals the system
automatically take this into account.Where as if there is any change to
bom/material master whether these changes will have an effect on planning run
will be controlled by planning mode.
Planning mode is set automatically set in the planning file and also
we can override in md02.
Mode 1: Inthis mode system reactivates the existing planning data
ie the system adapts existing planning data.
ex changes to qty/dates
Mode 2 : In this mode the system reexplode tho bom for all existing proc
proposal which are not firmed if there is any changes to bom
ex changes to bom /sales order bom
changes to production version / bom explosion no
Mode 3 : Inthis mode the existing proc proposal are deleted and again recreated
ex changes to inhouse prodn time / planned delivery time/sch margin
key
Hope this will help

Schedule lines are not coming for HALB after MRP run

Dear All,
I am not getting schedule line after mrp run, inspite of all required setting only purchase requisitions are coming.
Material type is HALB and involve a subcontracting process (30). For raw material I am getting the schedule line but in the case of HALB, it is not coming.
Pls let me know if I am missing something and guide me further on this.
Thanks & Regards
Kundan Kumar

Hi,
In transaction OMDT you have to enable the indicator create schedule lines
In MD02 MRP control Prameter here select the Delivery schedules -3- Schedule line. Processing Key as NETCH and Planning Mode - 3 delted and recreated.
Maintain source list ME01, in that put MRP indicator as '2' i.e. schedule lines via MRP.Put your agreement no in that.
If u run MRP properly u will get schedule lines automatically in ME38.
Make the schedule agreement, make it source relevent in the source list make is FIX and MRP indicator as 3.

Automatic creation of Schedule line after MRP RUN

Hi,
Till now we are using only PO for placing orders to vendor, now we want to use the functionality of scheduling agrement, so that after MRP run, we can get automatic schedule line creation, for this , what are settings required, how system create the automatic schedule lines based on which criteria, second thing while creating on eschedule agrement i found that the conditon which i can add for a vednor in ME21N that all condition are not coming while creating schedule agrement even my vendor is same for PO and Schedule agrement, so what are the setting required for this.
regards,
zafar

Hi
1.In material master purchasing view data auto PO is to be flagged.If scheduling agreemet with release documentation.
Then flag JIT indicator 1.
2.maintain MRP views in material master
3.In source list for fix vendor,source list usage 2 is to be maintained.
4.Vendor master purchasing data auto PO indicator is to be flagged.
5.Then when you run MRP automatically schedule lines are generated.
For JIT and forecasting maintain creaton profile in OMUP transction.
Assign the creation profile in scheduling agreement.

PR created after MRP run, instead of schedule line

Dear all,
I want to create schedule lines automatically from the planning run, for raw material. I have maintained info record, scheduling agreement, quota arrangements and also the source list.
For the raw material, safety stock of 1000 nos. has been maintained. The current stock of the material is 0.
After MRP run, based on the upper level PIRs, schedule lines are generated properly. But, against the safety stock of 1000, a PR is generated.
I donot want a PR to be generated.
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Shrenik
Edited by: Shrenik on Mar 8, 2008 4:17 PM

Dear all,
I checked an found that the schedule agreement date does not have any effect. Even if the requirement date falls outside the date range, i am able to create schedule lines.
I also found that if i maintained GR processing time, then always a PR is created. If GR processing time is 0, then only schedule line is created. Moreover, planned delivery time does not have any effect on the calculations, even if it is 10 days, 20 days or 900 days.
Can someone please clarify all these? How are these times taken into account?
Thanks in advance,
Shrenik
