Problem launching Resource planning tool

Hi all,
I have some problem in launching the resouce planning tool,T-Code:CRM_DWP.
We have a freshly installed CRM 5.0 sytem,It is throwing me the following errors:
<b>1)Internal error in Business Object Layer, method: GET_TIMESPEC_TYPES</b>
<b>2)Serious internal error occurred that cannot be described in more detail</b>
Are there any pre requisite settings that are required before launching this tool?
please provide directions to solve this.
Thanks in advance,
Sethu.

Hi Vick,
If you want to use service resource planning tool, you basically have to
decide the following:
1.   Whether you want to use SAP's Scheduling Engine (WFM Core), or an
       external scheduling engine.
2.   Whether or not you want to work with SAP R/3 HR integration. HR
       integration in this context means that employee data from the SAP
       R/3 HR component is transferred to SAP CRM using ALE. The
       availability information is transferred either to the WFM Core, or
       to the external scheduling engine.
You can not use resource planning tool without WFM Core, which is the scheduling engine for RPT
The scheduling engine can be any thing SAP's WFM core or External Sceduling engine(Non-SAP).
Let us assume that you are going with WFM Core. Again WFM core can be used in two ways.
1. If you want to use the WFM Core in an APO system, you have to set up a RFC   connection to the WFM Core
2. If you want to use the WFM Core in a SAP CRM add-on, you have to leave the relevant field empty in 'Select RFC Connection'. (This Customizing setting i have already mentioned in my last posting)
Once you have decided whether you want to use WFM core either with APO system or as a CRM add-on then you need to decide on R/3 HR Integration.
1. Without SAP R/3 HR Integration
If you do not use HR integration, use the 'CRM_LRP_FILL_RES' report to
transfer the service employees, which are stored in the system in the
role 'Employee', from SAP CRM to the WFM Core.
2. With SAP R/3 HR Integration
If you do use HR integration, employee data and availability information
is transferred from the HR system to the WFM Core using the 'RPTWFMIF'
report.
So finally after setting up all these things related WFM core you can run your resource planning tool. There is no RPT without WFM core.
Before doing all these you ned to install Software component 'WFMCORE' with version 2.0 which comes along with CRM installation DVD.
Still if you have any doubt please reply to this post.
Please reward points if it helps.

Need Resource planning tool in ECC 6.0

Hello,
Resource Planning
Use
Resource planning is a planning aid. If you only know the quantities of consumed resources (see also: Resources) you can use resource planning to plan activity-dependent or activity-independent primary costs or revenues by quantity. You can carry out detailed planning of a cost element by subdividing the cost element on the basis of the resources. The system valuates the given resource consumption with a price, which you can store separately in the system.
You can also link resources to a material or to a base planning object. This means that a resource or a base planning object has been entered in the resource master record. For the valuation of resource consumption during planning, the system uses the price of the material, regardless of whether you have defined a price for the resource during pricing (see also: Pricing).

SAP MRS - Multi Resource Planning Tool

Hi All,
I am looking for 'introductionary' information on the SAP MRS tool. There is a thread already on this tool but it does not give basic data about functionality and implementaion etc.. (below)
MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling)
Does anyone have a link that give a functional spec and data sheet on the tool? An 'MRS Guide for dummies' would be great but I will take what I can get....
The context of usage will be in connection with scheduling service technicans for CS service orders.
With Thanks,
Rory
Edited by: Rory.Moore on Feb 23, 2011 11:19 AM

Hi PSP,
Many thanks for that. I had already searched ther SAP help Library but now realise I was searching using incorrect terminology. I will read through the info and will no doubt have more specific questions to come!
I have implemented various scheduling tools in other ERP systems before and would like to use the 'out of the box' functionality in SAP as much as possible. I need to get to grips with the configuration possibilities for use in the PM module and specifically for service orders, contract maintenance (external custoemr functional locations etc).
Will get back later today..
//Rory
Edit:
A silly question perhaps, but is this the same tool as found here?

Workforce Deployment / service resource planning

Hi,
I am looking for some information on how to configure WFD for CRM2007.
Any help will be really appreciated.
thanks,
Antoinette

Hi Antoinette,
For service orders to reflect in Resource Planning Tool, Following things are necessary:
1. Mark your Item category in service order as Resource Planning relevant at IMG path: Customer Relationship Management --> Transactions --> Basic Settings -->define item categories
2. Item in transaction should be released.
To be able to do the appointment sceduling in service order, make sure following customizing is done:
Customer Relationship Management --> Workforce Deployment --> General Settings for Resource Planning --> Scheduling Engine -->Schedule Items Automatically
Customer Relationship Management --> Workforce Deployment --> General Settings for Resource Planning --> Appointment Scheduling
Let me know if this helps...!!!

Resources not getting displayed in Resource Planning iView

Hi,
We are working in CRM 5.0. We have assigned the iview for Resource Planning for a Portal Role. The iView is also opening correctly.
The Problem is that when we give a Particular Service Org Unit (Technicians Group) in Advanced Search, none of the Resources are getting displayed in the Gantt Chart and also no service order items are getting displayed.
The same thing is working fine in GUI. All related WFM settings and resource creation report have been done.
Please help.

Database Resource Plan not working...

DbVersion: 10.2.0.4
For some reason my resource plan is not taking effect. I've created 4 resource consumer groups. I've created a plan utilizing these consumer groups. The plan is enabled and is the top plan. The resource_manager_plan parameter is set to: FORCE:MYPLAN and I've also tried setting it to "MYPLAN" only.
The Consumer Group mappings have been set at the service level. So depending on the database service you're connecting via you should be using a particular consumer_group.
The problem is that everyone that connects regardless of what service they are using is routed to use the "OTHER_GROUPS" group (except for the sys and system users).
I find this information with the following query:"
SELECT USERNAME,SERVICE_NAME,RESOURCE_CONSUMER_GROUP FROM GV$SESSION;
What am I missing? Do I need to bounce the database or something in order for a resource plan to take effect?

Distribution resource planning, Distribution requirement Planning

Hi PP Gurus
Can anyone tell me what is SAP-DRP(Distribution resource planning) . Also want to know
1. Configuration steps for DRP
2. Transactions to complete business scenario.
3. Prerequisites to implement SAP DRP.
Thanks in Advance

Dear
Distribution Resource Planning
Distribution resource planning provides a framework for determining the need to replenish
inventory by:
Linking market requirements with manufacturing and demand management
Relating current inventory positions and demand forecasts to production scheduling
Matching material supply to manufacturing demand, and customer demand to product
supply
Process Flow
1. You define all nodes in the network including plants, distribution centers (DCs),
warehouses, and stock transfer points using the Distribution Network tool.
2. You set up the material master record for each node. In MRP 4 of the material master
record, you must define the deployment strategy for each material (the fair and push
distribution options) as well as deployment horizon (push horizon). For the push horizon,
enter the number of days for which the system considers the ATD quantity and any
additional quantity produced. Any quantity produced beyond the push horizon is not
considered in the deployment calculation.
3. To calculate an available to deploy (ATD) quantity, use the availability check rule, DE, in
Customizing, u2018Carry out control for availability check.u2019 The availability check and the
deployment checking rule, determine the MRP elements that are used to calculate the
ATD quantity.
4. You create a forecast for each DC; for example, a sales forecast.
5. You transfer the forecasted data to Demand Management. The system creates
independent requirements.
6. You perform a DRP run in each DC and in each supplying plant. The DRP run considers
the quota arrangements defined in the network, available stock, sales orders, and
independent requirements.
The DRP run in the DCs creates releases for stock transport requisitions in the
supplying plants.
The DRP run in the supplying plants creates planned orders for production.
7. You convert planned orders into production orders for manufacturing.
You run deployment to produce stock transport orders for distribution of stock from the supplying
plants to the DCs.
Distribution Requirement Planning :
Generates stock transport requisitions between locations.
Accounts for time-dependent safety stocks when the replenishment stock is calculated.
Initiates planning runs in a net change procedure or in a regenerative planning mode
Deployment
When demand is greater than supply, deployment calculates a fair share quantity based on the available-to-deploy (ATD) quantity and requirements in the distribution centers to be supplied.
When supply is greater than demand, deployment calculates distribution of stock using pull or push logic within the distribution network according to planned requirements.
Generates stock transport orders from suggested orders in the DRP plan.
Prioritizes quantities supplied based on requirements types (customer order, forecast, and safety stock).
Multi-Sourcing Using Quota Arrangements
Lets multiple plants supply a percentage of the material required by a single location, which makes it possible to prioritize the deliveries made by plants and to specify maximum delivery quantities for particular time periods.
Represents simple capacity constraints, and combines the percentage-based and maximum quantity approaches.
Lets you establish minimum, maximum, and rounding profiles for lot sizing within the network.
Lets you change the distribution network at future dates.
Lets you offset delivery times for specific items from the sourcing location to the replenishment location.
Single-Sourcing Using Special Procurement Keys
Hope this above details will be useful for your requirement .

Process Flow
1. You define all nodes in the networkincluding plants, distribution centers (DCs),

The DRP run in the supplying plants creates planned orders for production.
7. You convert planned orders into production orders for manufacturing.
You run deployment to produce stock transport orders for distribution of stock from the supplying
plants to the DCs.
Running DRP
Purpose
In DRP, during the net requirements calculation, the system compares available stock and the
scheduled receipts from the supply source with planned independent requirements and incoming
sales orders. If there is a material shortage (available stock is less than the quantity required),
the system creates an order proposal.
The system calculates the quantity recorded in the order proposal (in the form of a requisition)
based on the lot-sizing procedure you specify in MRP 1 of the material master record.
The system also schedules the order proposal. Delivery and release dates are determined from
the transport time and time associated with goods receipt processing.
The system can process DRP for the whole supply chainincluding the production plants. DRP
includes production and purchasing into the planning process for the production plant.
Prerequisites
In order to perform a DRP run, you must:
Set up a distribution network, including identification of quota arrangements and lead
times.
Define MRP parameters in the material master record for all the materials in the
distribution network.
Process Flow
1. You schedule the DRP runs for your network in the same way you would schedule an
MRP run.
2. You perform the DRP run:
A DRP run on one material is the same as single-item, single-level planning in the MRP
run. Because the deployment plan involves finished goods, there is only single-material,
single-level planning of individual materials without explosion to lower levels.
A DRP run on one plant is the same as total planning in the MRP run. Single-plant
planning involves planning all the materials in a certain location that are relevant for
requirements planning.
A DRP run using mass processing allows you to process several locations at once so
that the whole supply chain is planned.
3. You use net change planning to plan only materials that change relevant to distribution
requirements planning since the last planning run (for example, change in a sales order
quantity or date). Net change planning improves system performance for large, complex
distribution networks with many materials. If a material is changed in a way that is
relevant to the planning run, it is given a net change indicator, and included in the next
planning run.
Performance can be improved even further by using the change planning within the
planning horizon. Only changes relevant to requirements planning that fall within the
user-defined planing horizon are included in the planning run. To keep the planning
results up to date, perform a total planning run regularly (weekly or monthly).
for planning. Regenerative planning is performed in the implementation stages.
4. If you are using mass processing, determine the sequence in which the series of DRP
runs must be executed.
Result
The information resulting from the DRP runs includes purchase requisitions and scheduling
agreements. Use these to plan how to supply the distribution centers in your network. The DRP
run in the DCs creates releases for stock transport requisitions in the supplying plants. A DRP
run on the supplying plants creates planned orders for production.

Launching Actor From Tools Menu

I have written a configuration tool(lets call it application ABC for simplicity) within the actor framework for a very large API. Application ABC was designed/intended to be launched from the Tools Menu in LabVIEW. For development I ran application ABC directly using a development style "splash screen" that I would run from the project that owned the source code. My development splash screen has a crude pop-up that allows you to select the VI that you want application ABC to act like it was launched from. As part of the final stage of development I wrote a VI that uses the App.MenuLaunchApp and AppMenuLaunchVI properties to retrieve the VI to configure.
Here is where the trouble started. Application ABC runs well and closes as expected with no sort of odd behavior while closing when run using the development splash screen. When launched from the Tools menu application ABC acts normally and allows me to run all of the methods/msgs for the actors without any hints of trouble. Closing application ABC LabVIEW crashes whenever the launch originated from the Tools Menu. This is very consistent.
My guess as of right now is that it has something to with the actor framework running in a private application context (LV.Dialog). I am assuming that LV.Dialog is making assumptions that I am breaking.
I haven't tried a simplfied example yet; but I am interested to know if anybody else has tried something like this.... Is the AF Message Maker in the actor framework?
LV2012SP1
My customer won't let me share the code.
I attached the debug output in case that interests anybody.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

lvlog.txt ‏4 KB
Crash Dialog.PNG ‏42 KB

I was able to work around this error...
First I made a simple example and found that I couldn't recreate the problem(no surprise). I then started building up the simple example until I realized that I needed to have the actor open up it's own referance to the parent VI(the VI that's tool menu was used) and not use a referance opened by the splash screen. Even if the referance to the parent VI ref was valid for the actor to use while running it would crash LabVIEW upon closing. I added the VI name and application service name to the class data of the actor and then used pre-launch init to call a method that would open the parent VI ref. I should also not that enquing the open parent VI ref method from the splash screen still results in a LabVIEW crash upon closing the actor.
Fun stuff...
If anybody wants to chip in as to why this is occuring I would be glad to learn more.

PS and Resource planning

Dear all
this is my first thread, so please let me know if I'm doing something wrong...
I'm working in a company which is going to implement SAP in the next two years, and so I'm going to interest me in SAP, especially the modul PS. My first question concerning this modul is: How to use the resource planning. My department has to manage about 50 assembler (internal and external) which are going onsite to help the assemling works. So there has to be a very flexible tool. But how to do that with the PS module? Workcenters? Planning board...
Somebody is able to give me some advice?
Best regards

Hello
thanks for your reply
that's right, but I attended to various courses and we will get a test system in a few days. I'm part of the team which is going to implement the system. So I have to understand the system before we implement it. If we have to plan the resources with Project Server (of course interfaced with SAP) or if SAP fits to our needs without any additional tool. So every information I can get is helping me a lot.
Where can I find the Help-Portal?

Hi Shaun
Tried both of your suggestions, however neither strategy worked.
Strategy 1
Tried installing via powershell - "install-windowsfeature -name fs-resource-manager -includemanagementtools"
Feature un-installed itself during the restart.
Attempted to use the command "DISM /online /remove-feature /featurename:FSRM-Infrastructure-Services". However
this did work because one the Service was'nt installed or two because there was no command option for "/remove-feature"
PACKAGE SERVICING COMMANDS:
/Add-Package - Adds packages to the image.
/Remove-Package - Removes packages from the image.
/Enable-Feature - Enables a specific feature in the image.
/Disable-Feature - Disables a specific feature in the image.
/Get-Packages - Displays information about all packages in the image.
/Get-PackageInfo - Displays information about a specific package.
/Get-Features - Displays information about all features in a package.
/Get-FeatureInfo - Displays information about a specific feature.
/Cleanup-Image - Performs cleanup and recovery operations on the image.
Strategy 2
Tried installing via powershell, using the following command DISM
/online /enable-feature /featurename:FSRM-Infrastructure-Services, however got the same result, the install backed out during the restart.
All up back to where I started?

MRS - CRM Integration: Resource Planning Node for CRM demands

Hi all,
We have a multi backend scenario where MRS 800 add-ons (ECC and NW add-on) have been installed in ECC. Demands can come from the ECC PM/CS orders or from the CRM system as Service orders.
For PM/CS orders, from the work center of the activity or operation, the system determines the planning node and assigns the demand to that planning node. But we need help in identifying the Evaluation Path for determining the Resource Planning Node for demands coming from CRM. Currently we have to manually select the CRM Service Order to be able to view the demands in the MRS planning board.
The service organization structure has been created manually in CRM and is not available in ECC system. We are unable to identify which organization structure can be used as resource planning structure (in the Planning board which is in ECC) for CRM service orders.
Please provide your inputs on these two issues in the MRS-CRM scenario:
1. What is the evaluation path for determining the Resource Planning Node for demands coming from CRM system?
2. Which organization structure can be used as resource planning structure (in the Planning board which is in ECC) for CRM service orders?
I would appreciate any help in this regard.
Thank you!

Resource planning in cprojects with xRPM or MRS?

Dear Experts,
To my understanding there are four options to perform resource planning in combination with cprojects:
1.     Do a planning in cprojects only
2.     Use resource planning application (RPA) from SAP CRM
3.     Schedule resources with xRPM
4.     Schedule resources with SAP MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling)
I have a couple of questions:
(a) Is it correct that I cannot assign resources to project roles in xRPM based on qualification matching? Is it right that xRPM is used rather for a long-term view to define the available capacity of projects/roles than assigning specific resources to roles?
(b) How can help SAP MRS in comparison to option 1 (planning in cprojects)? I assume that I can do also in cprojects itself a qualification matching. MRS provides a more detailed qualification object to cover complex requirements, right? What else provides MRS what cannot be managed in cprojects itself?
(c ) If we want to use a staffing process were project lead and resource manager doing the staffing and have the option to suggest or reject roles, we have the option to use xRPM or MRS, right? What are the differences? In MRS we have options like using several resource managers, softbooking/hardbooking or itu2019s possible to define the workflow who proposes resources and who is doing the final staffing (project lead or staffing manager), reasons for rejections can be configured etc. Are these options in xRPM available as well?
Thanks,
Angie

Hi Angie,
I have not implemented MRS or RPA so can only answer your first question. You cannot do a resource search via qualification in Portfolio Management (aka xRPM), typically you would do this in Project Management (aka cProjects) and this functionality works fine provided you have maintained qualification data for BP's and roles. Portfolio Management financial planning function can be used for a long term view as you have mentioned. However, it is also typically used to summarize and/or roll up resource demand / assignment to a bucket or portfolio level or summarize resources for multiple projects via initiatives or collections. You can also use a top down approach and at a high level plan values at the bucket level (i.e. forecasted demand or business case demand) and compare against detailed planned / assigned demand rolled up from project management.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Lashan
