Getting an error while activating a planning area "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"

Dear S&OP community,
I am getting following error while creating a planning ares in a newly installed sandbox. "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level".
This what I did...
1) Created new attributes and master data objects and activated them successfully.
2) Time profile created and activated successfully
3) Trying to create planing area by assigning time profile in step 2 and assigned master data from step1..Unable to save the data and system returns
this error - "Enter values for planning horizon From and planning horizon To for the storage time profile level"
My understanding is time profile needs to be active but doesn't have to have values...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna

YS,
Here are my time profile settings

Planning time fence and planning cycle

Dear Experts,
Please provide me the clarity on planning time fence and planning cycle in MRP 1 view with example as i am not able to understand the SAP definition
Regards,
Phalgun Patel

Phalgun,
Planning time fence is a standard planning concept. Here is SAP's version
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/92/bf029544bd11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Also, from SAP help
Outside of the planning time fence, procurement proposals are created as usual in the planning run. When these procurement proposals move into the planning time fence, they are firmed automatically depending on the setting of the firming type.
I don't think I explain it any more clearly.
'Planning Cycle' can refer to several different concepts. Can you quote the difinition you are finding difficult to understand?

10.7 ERP Question on Planned Shipment Date and Planned Delivery Date

Hi All,
I have a 10.7 ERP question related to Planned shipment date and Planned Delivery Date which are on shipment::released event.
Are these held and displayed at the shipset / shipment level on ERP database
and forms or are they held & displayed at theline level ?
This question is specific to Oracle ERP 10.7
Thanks,
SM

I do not believe 10.7 documentation is available online anymore. Release 11 documentation is available at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A60725_05/r11_doc.htm - the functionality closely resembles 10.7

AET Generated field values are not saved.

Hi Gurus,
I have created two AET fields on the screen (marked below) and that should store values in table CRMD_CUSTOMER_H. When I create a new service request and enter the values and save, AET field values are not saved. Again, when I edit the same service request and enter the values and save , AET field values are saved on the database.
While debugging I found that, relationship BTHeaderCustExt does not exist for the first time and second time onward its appearing. Due to this, data is not being saved at first time (Line no 27 : current is empty).
When tried to create realtionship using create_related_entity , it throwing exception cx_crm_genil_model_error.
Please advice me the soution for the same.

there should be a context node at your view level. Please check ON NEW FOCUS method is implemented or not.
If not, you can implement that method with below code.
    DATA: lv_collection TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_col,
          entity        TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity.
*   get collection of dependent nodes
    entity ?= focus_bo.
    TRY.
        lv_collection = entity->get_related_entities(
               iv_relation_name = 'BTHeaderCustExt' ).
        IF lv_collection IS NOT BOUND or lv_collection->size( ) = 0.
          IF entity->is_changeable( ) = ABAP_TRUE.
            TRY.
                entity = entity->create_related_entity(
                 iv_relation_name = 'BTHeaderCustExt' ).
              CATCH cx_crm_genil_model_error cx_crm_genil_duplicate_rel.

            ENDTRY.
            IF entity IS BOUND.
              CREATE OBJECT lv_collection TYPE cl_crm_bol_bo_col.
              lv_collection->add( entity ).
            ENDIF.

Field values are repeating for search help.

Hello Friends.
I have a problem. When I create a search help for a field the identical field values are repeating. What should I do to trigger only the first time.
for example:
<u>Field-name</u>-                        <u>field-value</u>
Supplier Nr ---                                 Commodity
5001 -
                                           casting
5002 -
                                           casting
5003 -
                                           casting
So when I create the search help for commodity it is showing 'casting' 3 times in a pop-up window. It should not repeat. Can you please give me the solution what should I do?

Hi
Search helps
Standard search help
Types of search helps
Concept of search help
Search Help Interface
Dialog behavior of search helps
Selection method for search helps
Performance of search helps
Attaching search helps
Hierarchy of search helps
Standard Search Help
The input help (F4 help) is a standard function of the R/3 System. It permits the user to display a list of possible values for a screen field. A value can be directly copied to an input field by list selection.
The fields having an input help are shown in the R/3 System by the input help key to the right of the field. This key appears as soon as the cursor is positioned on the corresponding screen field. The help can be started either by clicking on this screen element or with function key F4.
If the number of possible entries for a field is very large, you can limit the set of displayed values by entering further restrictions.
Further meaningful information about the displayed values is included in the display of possible entries, especially if the field requires that a formal key be entered.
TYPES OF SEARCH HELPS
Elementary search helps
Describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
Collective search help
Combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
Search Help Interface
Search help interface determines how the exchange of values between the screen template and the selection method is implemented.
The search help interface defines the context data that can be used in the input help and the data that can be returned to the input mask. Analogously to the interface of a function module, the search help interface comprises interface parameters.
When you define an interface parameter of a search help, you must also define whether it should be used to copy data to the input help (IMPORT parameter) or whether it should be used to return data from the input help (EXPORT parameter). A parameter of a search help can also have both attributes at the same time.
The location from which the IMPORT parameters of a search help get their values and the screen fields in which the contents of the EXPORT parameters of the search help are returned are defined in the search help attachment. The search help itself should always be attached to an EXPORT parameter of the search help. If this parameter is also the IMPORT parameter, its contents are only used in the input help if it is a search string (that is, if it contains a ´*´ or a ´+´).
You must define the parameter types of a search help. You can do this by assigning them data elements.
Value Transport for Input Helps
NOTE:In the above example, screen fields A, B and C are linked with parameters of the search help. As a result, values can only be transported between the screen and the search help for these three fields. Existing contents of screen fields A and B can be used for selecting the hit list since they are linked with an import parameter of the search help. The values of parameters A and C can be returned to the screen from the hit list since these parameters are declared as export parameters of the search help.
Description of dialog behavior
A hit list might contain plentiful number of entries. A
dialog provides the user with an option to restrict the
entries displayed on the hit list.
In an input help process, the set of possible entries is presented in the dialog box as a list for displaying the hit list. The user selects the required value from this list by double clicking. Since the possible entries are often formal keys, you must be able to display further explanatory information about the possible entries in the list.
If the set of possible entries is very large, the user should be able to define additional conditions for the attributes of the selected entry. Restricting the set of data in this way both increases the clarity of the list and reduces the system load. Additional conditions can be entered in a further dialog window, the dialog box for restricting values.
Specifying the dialog type of a search help defines whether the dialog box for restricting values should be offered and if so under what conditions.
The attributes in the dialog box for displaying the hit list or in the dialog box for restricting values must be defined as internal parameters of the search help. An internal parameter can also be used in only one of the two dialog boxes. It can also belong to the search help interface.
The internal parameter types are also defined with data elements. These data elements define how the parameters are displayed in the two dialog boxes.

Diff between Planning in BPS and Planning in APO

Hello..
Can any one give me some good insight in to the difference between planning in APO and plannning BW BPS.. In what way is it diff?
thankyou..
kishore karnati

Hi Kishore,
Not sure about APO but some of the distinct features of BPS planning are:
Loose integration with the transactional data flow
Fast and simple adaptation to current and future organizational changes
Free and unrestricted definition of integrated planning scenarios
One homogeneous planning environment for the flexible design of various planning steps
One central data warehouse as basis for all information needed in the decision process
More simulative planning processes
Maybe an APO expert could comment on the other side
Hope it helps...

Null and no data in field value

I transferring sql from MS Access to Oracle 9i.
In Access I have this
select * from tableOne where firstname <> ''
and firstname & '' = ''The firstname field can be edited where it could have data and the data could be deleted so I am trying to select records where firstname is not null and it has no data in it.

I transferring sql from MS Access to Oracle 9i.
In Access I have this
select * from tableOne where firstname <> ''
and firstname & '' = ''
select * from tableOne where firstname IS NULL;
- or -
select * from tableOne where firstname IS NOT NULL;
as appropriate.
In Oracle there is no difference betwen being NULL and having data of length '0'

How to calculate a date in the future and set it as field value?

I'm trying to set the value of a read-only field to a date and time 72 hours from the current date and time. Here's how I'm doing it now:
var futureInMilliseconds = new Date().getTime() + 259200000; // current date and time + 72 hours in milliseconds
field.value = new Date(futureInMilliseconds);
The field is formatted as "m/d/yyyy h:MM tt". When I test this in the debugger I see it listing the correct date and time in the future, but the value applied to the field is always the current date and time. So, I'm having a difficult time getting this to work for something that should be fairly straight forward and simple. I'd appreciate any suggestions.

What is the "field" object?
What happen when you use "event" for the object and not "field"?
Even if this script is placed at the document level or any other location, it is still a calculation. It just not a field Custom Calculation Script. You are adding one value to another to get a new value.

Forecast horizon values are not being considered in Total demand row

Hello Experts,
We are in SCM 4.1 Version.
I have a question regarding Forecast horizon consderation in Planning book.
We have a weekly data view In our Planning book,and in that planning data view "Total demand" row is not calculating correctly for the products with Forecast horizon .
The entire Forecast is counted in Total demand without considering forecast horizon value for that Product.
But this is working fine for Daily data view.
I have also noticed that, Total demand values are calculating correcly in weekly view ( Forecast horizon value from the Product master is taken into account ) only when the Forecast horizon value crossing that week bucket.(i.e >7 days).
But usually we will have a Forecast horizon value of 3 days for all our products,.
What should we do to get the Total demand values correctly?
Thanks in advance..

Custom Field values are not saved. when MPP imported from another instance.

Hello Mate-
Currently I am merging one small instance (I2) of PWA in our corporate instance(I1). as the corporate instance is huge, we are doing manual merge of groups, securities, users, custom fields etc. also downloading the MPP as xml from I2 and then planned
to publish from I1.
There are few project level custom fields which are being used in MPP. and those fields may have formulas too.
I created same custom field in crporate environment(I1) but while trying to open the projects in our corporate environment(I1), the project custom fields are gone.
Could you please guide me here, I am lost. I can not do a data base migration ans it would override all data from I1 instance so need to do it manually.
Many thanks
Deb
Dev EPM Consultant

Hi
You may not be able to do this as the custom field GUID's are different in both the instance.
You may write a macro to copy the custom field data from one to another one

Custom field values are not storing in the data base

Hi Friends,
We have created one Custom field called ZZ_APPROVER in Rfx Header , we have included this field in the below stuctures
1.INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_BID
2.INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF
The data type of this field ( ZZ_APPROVER ) is CHAR and the length is 1 . we have given 2 fixed values in Value Range
1 -
X+2 Approver
2 --- Provisional Approver
so when we select either 1 or 2 ( in Drop Down ), its displaying properly on RFx Screen, but when we try save this document the values are not strong in the data base.
Can any one give me idea why its not stroring in the data base
Thanks in Advance
Kumar Srini

Hi Ganapathy,
A Record is created in table BBP_PDHSC , for other z fields, the values are stroing , but for this field ( ZZ_APPROVER ) [ drop down list ], the value is not stroring
Thnx
Kumar Srini

Field values are not erased when I change content types.

On an SP2010 site I created 2 Site Columns TextColumn1 and TextColumn2 (both Single Line of text).
I added Two Content Types ContentType1 and ContentType2 (both derived from Item).
I created a list and enabled content types. I Added ContentType1 and ContentType2 to the list.
I configured the devfault view to show TextColumn1 and TextColumn2.
I added an Item of ContentType1 and for TextColumn1 added the value 'c1'
I edited the item and changed the content Type to ContentType2 and entered a value of c2 for TextColumn2.
The default view still shows the value of 'c1' for TextColumn1 even though the item is of content type ContentType2 which does not have this field defined.
How do I correct this?

If I'm understanding your question correctly, this is expected behavior. The item still has both the content types applied to it. The columns are included in the view. So Any values in those columns for that item will be displayed.
You could create views for each content type.
You could also look into changing the default content type.
Not sure if this helps because I'm not sure I understood the problem.

GR/IR A/c Amount and Amount in local Curreny values are not matching

Hello Gurus
When we are doing MIGO for some Scheduling Agreement PO's the Amount and Amount in local currency columns are mismatching with paise (+/-), eventhough PO belongs to Local Currency (INR). Because of this GR/IR account is not cleared after MIRO through F.13. Both MIGO and MIRO amount are showing as Open items.
Why it is happening and what is the way to clear GR/IR A/C. (F.13 with Tolerance limit is also not workout).
Thanks & Regards
Venkat.P

Hi sridhar
Thanks for reply
Through MR11 also these values are not cleared.
