Planning BOM & Forecast Consumption

Hi,
Is there any functionality to replace planning bom for a process enabled org...Aslo what are the setup to consume forecast at sub assemeblies.For eg: consumption should happen for a intermediate or sub assemblies when a sales order is placed for the FG..Forecast will also be placed for intermediate or sub assemblies....
Thanks

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

  • 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

  • Forecast Consumption Reduces Planned Quantity

    All, I would appreciate the Community's feedback with regards to why we are seeing the forecast (Planned Qty in RRP3) reduced.
    A number of examples have been identified where the forecast quantity has been reduced by the withdrawn quantity and the Remaining Quantity reflects the Planned Quantity.
    We are more used to seeing the forecast remain as per the DP forecast but Remaining Quantity reducing by the sum of allocated quantity and withdrawal quantity.
    Columns represent From and To dates, Plan Qty (Forecast from DP), Withdrawals, Allocated, Remaining Plan Qty.
    Row 1 is the reduced forecast which when released to SNP = 516 for the w/c 04.08.2014

    We have a number of examples like this but the more conventional reduction of Remaining Planned Quanity is the norm'.
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Hi Chris,
    Take a look of this old SAP note (it for R/3, but maybe you can find the reason):
    772857
    - FAQ: Independent requirements reduction/withdrawal quantity
    Question 9: What are common reasons for the reduction not  occurring?
    Response:
    For planning strategies with planned independent requirements consumption: Have the prerequisites for the consumption been fulfilled (see Note 772856)? Were there independent requirements quantities to be reduced at the time of the goods movement in the forward/backward consumption periods (planning quantity > 0)?
    For goods movements from inventory management (MM): Is the 'Independent requirements reduction' (PABKZ) indicator set for the movement type (transaction OMJJ)?
    For goods movements from SD (for example, transaction VL02) for reducing the make-to-stock production (requirements type LSF): Is the 'Requirement reduction' (PABKZ) indicator set in the requirements class of the customer requirement (transaction OVZG)?
    For stock transfers/transfer postings: A reduction does not occur for stock transfers in a planning segment. Only stock transfers between different plants, MRP areas and planning segments can reduce planned independent requirements.
    Is an MRP type that provides 'Reorder point planning', 'Forecast-based planning' or 'No material requirements planning' set for the material? See the modification of Note 68641 if you want to allow the reduction for these materials.
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards,
    Mariano

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
    Thomas

  • 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

  • Planned and actual consumption for each confirmation

    Dear All,
    There is a production order. it has two operations. i have made three confirmations of each operation for that order. now i want to see the planned and actual consumption for each confirmation. how is it possible.
    However i know that on order we can see planned and actual consumption but it is for total order but i want to see planned and actual consumption for each confirmation. Actually client wants that on 2nd confirmation what is planned consumption and what they consumed on actual. thanks

    Hi,
            In standard SAP this type of report not be there, but u can make it by using BOM,Confirmation table, & material document table.
    Use AFRU to get posted document no for confirmation & detail by joining it with MSEG by mblnr & MAZHR.
    now u get plan component qty by using mast & stpo if ur bom not changed in Production order , if in order component may be change then use afko & resb table & by comparing base qty or order qty & confirmation qty get plan component qty for confirmation.
    Thanks

  • DP BOm forecasting and Characteristics based forecasting

    Have anyone implemented DP BOM forecasting and Characterstics based forecasting at the same time in the same planning area/POS?  If so, can you please provide instructions /documentation on how you are able to do that?
    (The version of SCM/APO DP we are using is 4 .1)

    Thanks for the response, however I already know about the SAP help guide. The help guide does not answer my question at all that is why I posted this question.
    When I try to turn on both CBF and BOM forecasting, the radio button of either one get's greyed out when I select the other one. However if I un-select the added characteristrics remains and then if I select the other option, it adds the new charactersitics associated with that function.
    My question is whether you can implement (turn on) both CBF and BOm forecasting at the same time .
    Has anyone tried this as well or have implemented both functions in the same planning area?
