Planning version in Characteristic Based Planning?

What is the use of planning version in Characteristic Based Planning?

Hi Lawrence
Might be completely out of box idea.
If I understood correctly, you want to have this visibility mainly for planner to aware them which version data they are accessing. You could create separate data views for each version and also restrict by authorization.
Once you different versions, you can rename them with versions for example data view name could include version like SNP 104 Weeks (000) and SNP 104 weeks (simulation).
Hope this could help the purpose.

Characteristic based planning

Dear all,
what is Pcharacteristic based planning* in SAP, and in what are the main advantages of this planning.
Thanks in Advacne
Regards
raj.

Characteristic based planning is used when you are employing the variant configurator and are performing forecasting. Trying to keep the explanation as simple as possible, a KMAT (configurable material) will contain characteristics which can have different values selected when ordered on a sales document - such as an automobile where color is a characteristic. What characteristics planning does is provide a means to specify what % of the time a particular characteristic value is chosen. In the auto example, you would specify how often the auto is sold in the color red, etc. When you have a forecast in Demand Management at the KMAT level, these values are used in simulated planning, employing any object dependencies you have included in your BOMs and routings. In our auto example, it would help determine the labor hours and component materials that are needed for red automobiles, taking the percentage value in characteristics planning into consideration.
Very complex topic to discuss in a message thread. Hope this helps provide a quick, high level view.

Options to maintain persons in active plan version from a current plan vers

Hi,
We have two plan version currently in use. Plan version 01 in the current status and plan version ZZ in the active status. Few employees are still with the current plan version and are active in the system.
Can anyone guide me how to maintain the Persons that are still with Plan Version 01 and active in the system ?
Because we need to somehow maintain them also with ZZ otherwise our Ugraded system wil not show all reports correctly...This would be considered as Masterdata correction....
I mean how to move the persons from the plan version 01 to active plan version ZZ and how there relationships will be maintained.

Characteristic Based Planning in SOP - R/3

Hi Experts,
I would like to plan my material variants (stockable items of my configurable products) using Sales & Operations Planning. To that end, I wanted to know, if there is a functionality available in the R/3 SOP system, with which I

Hello
If you don't want to use forecast based planning, the only alternative is to make the forecast in SOP.
After making the forcast on SOP, the values are transfered to demand management and then MRP is used to generate planned orders.

Long Term Planning : Requirements from "Consumption based planning" missing

Hello,
I'm trying to use long term planning ( MSBT,MS01..) for simulation. In the scenario I've set up I want to have all actual requrements and orders as well as fixed orders.
The problem is that requirements(=forecast) for materials with consumption based planning ( MRP type =VV ) are not transferred from the operative planning. How can this be achieved ?
Best Regards
Bernt

Hi,
Hard to say... have you looked in the details of the VV MRP setting, your LTP scenario, or your copy transaction in case there is some parameter about this?
In case you are looking for information about this process, here is a good document with a detailed description of the Long-Term Planning Process in SAP (with detailed T-codes as well): http://expertplug.com/materials/training/long-term-planning-in-sap
You have a preview and a detailed description to see if it suits your needs.

Defaulting CO plan versions specific to cost plan method.

Hi Experts
I wish to have dedicated CO plan versions as shown below:
Z01: Overal planning
Z02: Detailed planning
Z03: Unit cost planning
Z04: ECP
For ECP, the CO plan version can be defauled. Similarly is there any provision to default the specific CO plan versions for the remaining cost plan methods?
This helps in preventing the selection of inappropriate version. And also provides clarity that the version it self indicates the cost plan method.
Request experts to comment.
warm regards
ramSiva

Dear Prasad
Thanks for prompt response, Is there any impact if we create new version ? Is there any SAP suggested documentation
Kindly revert

Characteristics based planning: SNP deployment supports characteristics?

Dear experts,
Does SCM7.0 support SNP deployment with characteristics (configurable products)?
I am aware that SCM7.0 includes PP/DS deployment features that support characteristics, but I must use a SNP deployment method.
Thank you very much.
Edited by: Hector Mediavilla on Sep 26, 2011 1:41 PM

Hello,
It's a pity that the functionality is not supported yet up to the most recent version.
Please check the below contenct from note 1446894:
+Characteristics Based Deployment
SNP Deployment does not support Characteristic based planning. The functional scope of PP/DS Deployment is restricted compared to Deployment in SNP:
- only Deployment Heuristics (no Real-Time Deployment and no Deployment Optimization)
- no Push Deployment
- no Fair Share between stock transfer demands and independent requirements+

Plan Version - FI/CO

Hi,
I am relatively new to FI/CO. I have some queries with regards to version.
1) What is the significance of version? Are version and Plan version synonymous
2) With respect to plan cost there is something called plan version.Does actual cost have something similar? Does budget have something similar?
3) If the answer to Q.2 is 'NO', then does make sense to use 'plan version' to actual costs/budget. Does SAP provide this logic.
Could someone provide me some link/documentation regarding the above mentioned issues.Mail them to [email protected]
Regards,
Roshith

Actual version is zero. The plan version is mapped to
actual in config. there is only one actual version. You can have many plan versions. This allows companies to be flexible to change the plans as needed. Your reports can then be set up to run against the plan version you designate. Version 1 maybe set up a the start of the year. Version 2 could be set up later based on new information. Here's some documentation on version in the IMG for FI.
POINTS ASSIGNED are appreciated
The same concept holds true in CO but the plans are entered independently.
Define Plan Versions
You can define plan versions in this activity. You have the option of posting planning data from each fiscal year to an unlimited number of versions.
Example
You can define several versions of your annual budget plan and base each version on different conditions. You can also create several versions for your financial reports, whereby each report is based on different sales revenue.
Activities
1. To create a new plan version, choose New entries. You can also change an existing plan version.
2. Enter 0 in the column Ld (Ledger). This is the general ledger, and is the only ledger in G/L Accounting where planning can be undertaken.
3. Enter the key for your new version in the Ver column.
4. Specify how the planning data is to be posted:
a) If you want to plan data manually for the specified combination of ledger and version, select Man. plan.
b) If you want to transfer the data from the Overhead Cost Controlling (CO-OM) or Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) component for the specified combination of ledger and version, select Plan Integ.
5. Enter a name for the plan version.
6. Save your plan version.

Consumption based planning

Hi,
I need to configure the CBP based on Past consuption data of 3 months and also it should give me future forecast values for 3 months. also I want to use safety stock and Reorder level.
Which MRP type should be used and what are configuration setting required for the same.
Also pl.guide me on What will happen if there is sedden rise in the requirement is any month?
Thx

Hi,
MRP supports and helps the MRP controller in the task areas. These tasks include
determining type, quantity and time of the requirement, and scheduling corresponding
procurement elements. The automatic planning run for MRP determines shortage situations and generates the corresponding procurement elements. Possible
procurement elements of MRP are planned orders, purchase requisitions and
scheduling agreement schedule lines. The planned order and purchase requisition are
internal planning elements that can be changed, rescheduled or deleted at almost
any time.
In in-house production, the system creates planned orders for planning production
quantities. When planning has finished, the system converts the planned orders into
production orders. The system then converts the dependent requirements in the
planned order into reservations in the production order.
In external procurement, the system either creates a planned order or a purchase
requisition for direct planning of external procurement quantities. Whether purchase
requisitions are created for direct planning, or planned orders are created first, you
can use the creation indicator for purchase requisitions/MRP groups in the material
master record on the initial screen of the planning run. When planning has finished,
the planned order must be converted to a purchase requisition, which is subsequently
converted to a purchase order. The advantage of creating a planned order first is
the additional procurement proposal check that is executed by the MRP controllers.
Purchasing can only order the material when the MRP controller has checked the
planned order and converted it into a purchase requisition. Otherwise, the procurement proposal is immediately available for Purchasing.
Planning Levels of Consumption-Based Planning
Requirements planning takes place at plant level. In other words, the entire stock that
exists in the plant is considered in planning. However, the stocks of individual storage
locations can be excluded from MRP or planned independently. These stocks are then
not included in MRP at plant level. You can also execute requirements planning
for individual MRP areas. You can define the MRP areas yourself. This means
that several storage locations can be grouped together for one MRP area and that
requirements planning can be executed separately from the plant for these MRP areas.
MRP areas enable a differentiation of material requirements planning within a plant.
(MRP areas include the function of storage locations that are planned separately for
materials requirements.)
Planning Levels for Materials Planning is either
1. The Plant with Storage locations planned separately.
2. MRP areas
Basically, MRP areas are optional. You can plan all material requirements without referring to MRP areas.
There are three different types of MRP areas:
1. Plant MRP areas (obligatory) that are automatically created by activating
planning with MRP areas. Their numbers match the number of the plant. If no
more MRP areas are defined, the plant MRP area covers the entire plant.
2. Storage location MRP areas that are defined by the storage locations assigned
to them.
3. Subcontractor MRP areas that provide planning of the requirement of the
material provided for a subcontractor and are defined by the assignment of
this subcontractor.
Prerequisites for Consumption-Based Planning
The following prerequisites must have been fulfilled in order to carry out requirements
planning for a plant:
Requirements planning for the corresponding plant must be activated in
Customizing for Materials Management under Consumption-Based Planning u2192
Planning u2192 Activate Material Requirements Planning.
T-code - OMDU
The plant parameters for the corresponding plant must be activated in
Customizing for Materials Management under Consumption-Based Planning u2192
Plant Parametersu2192 Carry Out Overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters.
T-code - OMI8
In the material master record, you have to maintain the MRP data of the materials
that are subject to automatic planning.
I hope this may help u !

Organizational Management Plan Version Lock

While planning personell costs we use several plan versions in addition to our active version 01. We would like to block or lock access to the plan versions once our budget is complete. Does anyone have any ideas on locking OM versions?
Thanks for the help,
Eric

Hi Eric,
I think it is not possible to lock the plan version but work around might be to create two separate authorisation roles. One with PLOG authorisation objects to your plan version with all relevant change function codes INSE, DEL, AEND etc and then another role with only DISP and LISD for the same plan version. When the plan version should be locked role to change could be removed and display role assigned.
Maybe bit more maintenance than just flicking a switch but should work if there is no other solution.

Saku

Plan Versions in SAP HR

What are the uses of Plan Versions? I can see current plan version that is active If I would like to create two plan versions suppose say Current Plan Version 01 and 02 for Future Plan Version? What will be the use if i go for versions? Iam bit confused on this It may sound simple still this making me confused...
Experts please throw some light on this

Hi,
The current plan version should be "01", as set in PLOGI PLOGI. This plan is what is updated whenever personnel changes are made in the system and represents your current organization.
Another verison could be used to create a "future state" or a "what if" scenario. For example you can have a version for a 20% decrease in the work force. Or a 20% increase in the workforce. Or if your company acquired another company. Then what would your reporting structures be? You could build each in a different plan version to see.
Then, if one of your scenarios came to be true and you wanted to utilize that structure, you could make that plan version the active version and all relationships would change to that new "current" plan version. Even if they never come true, the various plan versions can be utilized by management for "what if" scenarios.
An example of one that could actually happen, say your company acquired another company, but the deal would not be final until July 1st. Your management wants to build the org structure so they can see what it will look like July 1st, but you are not make any changes to the current structure until then. You could create a new plan version by copying the current structure, then add the new company and changing the relationships as necessary. Once management has approved this version, you would make it the "current " version in PLOGI PLOGI on July 1st and all the relationships and new assignments would now be active and seen in the structure and in PA.
