Profit Planning Weekly in CO-PA

Is it possible profit planning weekly in CO-PA?
I activated weekly postings in Operating Concern. However planning layout has no weekly characteristic.
Thanks

Hi,
In CO-PA planning you can work only with weeks or periods, but not with both at the same time. When you plan in weeks, the data are stored with the week information (ALTPERIO) as well as with the period information (PERIO). In some cases (when the week belongs to the two periods) the assigment PERIO x ALTPERIO is not unique (e.g. week 001.2008 belongs to Dec and Jan).
The CO-PA planning posts records either according to months or weeks. But it doesn´t allow for planning in weeks to distinguish or to consider month period. It means that for week planning the info in field PERIO is not taken in account and only according ALTPERIO amounts are distributed .
Normally when you create new layout, a popup should be displayed, where you can select what time dimension will you use in layout: periods or weeks. Once you select 'periods' in the popup, the characteristic ALTPERIO (week/year) is not available in layout anymore.
Please try to create new layout again:
1. Start KE14
2. Fill in the layout name and press 'Create' icon
3. The periodicity popup occurs: select 'Week planning'
Then the char. ALTPERIO should be available.

Forecast based planning -weekly schedules split -reg

Hi,
our requirement is we use forecast based planning where in both forecast periods and historical periods are months
then when fore cast is run requirement is coming in Md04 in monthly buckets only
when we run MRP the out put schedules should come in weekly bucket taking this monthly requirement
how to get that
as we understand weekly demand can be cumulated to get schedules on monthly but monthly demand can not be split in to weekly schedules as output
any thoughts
regards,
Madhu

Hi,
There's a customization transaction where you can define splitting of forecast requirements for MRP.
Go SPRO, Materials management, Consumption based planning, Forecast, Define Splitting of Forecast Requirements for MRP.

Planning Weekly distribution

Hi Gurus,
I have this question about checking what weekly distribution a planning application has.
I have an application called Budget_app, and I am not sure what weekly distribution it has. Now I need to check and see what weekly distribution it has. How can I see the distribution. Can I do it in Planning or I need to open the Oracle table.
Thanks

Since you asked for Oracle table
Planning holds this information in SUPPORT445 column of HSP_SYSTEMCFG table
0 - None
1 - 445
2 - 454
3 - 544

Using MRP to plan weeks supply

How do we get MRP to consider multiple plants (WERKS) when comparing to an overall inventory target? (Safety stock or weeks supply)

Hi,
Use scope of planning.
It means we can link multiple plants or
Single MRP area or
Several MRP areas or
Plants and MRP areas.

Assign particular measring point to Particular Maintenance Plan

Hi,
I would like to know whether it is possible to assign measring point to maintenance plans.
Here it goes the scenario
Equipment= PUMP
I have maintenance plan weekly & monthly
In weekly maintenance plan ( Every Monday)I have to check
1.Vibration,
2. Speed,
etc upto 10 measuring point
In Monthly maintenance plan (30 days) I have to check
1.Bearing Condition,
2.Oil Level,
3. Pressure
4.Temperature
5. Current,
6. Voltage
The above mentioned measuring point is created w.r.t equpt PUMP by T-Code IK01.
Now problem is whenever I get call object i.e maintenance order according to weekly & monthly maintenance plan.
Weekly order- 100001 is generated while confirming (IW41) this Order & its operation activity
I will update measuring point but it is displaying all the measuring point of an equipment.
I want only measuring point pertaining to weekly maintenance plan should only display.
How can I link measuring point to particular maintenance plan?
Is there any solution available or does anyone come across this scenario?
Pls revert back for any more information.
Regards
Pradeep

Hi,
I have been able to see measuring point in a task list since upgraded to EhP4.
I was just trying to assign measuring point to operation But it is throwing error message saying measuring point doesnot exist.
When I press F4 none of the measuring point is existing though I have created Measuring point to equipment?
Can someone help me or guide where am I going wrong?
I have gone through the below link for details on inspection rounds but there is no elaborative & detailed procesure existing

Lot Size "WB - Weekly Lot Size"

Dear All,
I have selected lot size "WB - Weekly Lot Size" for a material.
The Planned week start day is Monday in planned calender.
If i run MRP for the above maintained material it is not flowing the requirment and it is not combined on Monday, it is throing on Tuesday, Thursday and all the other day including MOnday also.
Why is this system is not throwing correctky the requirment on every MOnday.
Is there settings need be done to get this.
Your valuable answer will be appreciated.

Please read SAP online help:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/f4/7d282c44af11d182b40000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Please check your settings in SPRO:
SPRO > Production > MRP > Planning > Lot-Size Calculation > Check Lot-Sizing Procedure
...here you can check "Scheduling" field (V439A-TERBV) of lot size "WB". And you can check also field V439A-LGTER.
F1 help for the field:
Scheduling for period lot sizes in short-term area
This indicator defines the time in the period the system is to create the availability date or the start date for the lot for period lot-sizing procedures.
The availability date is the date on which the material, including the goods receipt processing time, is available again. In the MRP list, the availability date is equal to the MRP date.
In in-house production, the start date is the order start date, in external procurement the start date is the release date.
The following procedures exist:
Availability date equal to requirement date
Availability date at period start
Availability date at period end
Start date at period start
Planned order start date at period start and availability date at period end
With this setting, the in-house processing time in the material master record is ignored.
Note
The following is valid in all cases:
If the start date lies in the past, the system switches to forward scheduling. The following example illustrates how the system procedes:
The period start is Monday and the period end is Friday. The planned delivery time is 8 days. The indicator for determining the date is set to, "availability date at period end".
Today is Monday, a requirement is planned on Wednesday. The system has to schedule forwards. As the system works using date determination, today's date is not selected as the start date. Instead, the system determines the next period end, and uses backward scheduling to calculate a start date that does not lie in the past. This means that the end date was planned for the Friday of next Week.

Transport of Std.Planning area

Hi
1) I would like to transport planning area '4CFVS01' from client 000 (BPS). Please let me know is it possible to transport only the above planning area with all its subordinate objects?
When I checked the Import of planning application, I think if we select the planning application e.g marketing and campaign planning it will transport all the planning area under this.
Where as I need only the 4CFVS01 (Validation sheet planning area) to be transported.
2) Also please let me know planning area u20194CFVS01u2019 (Validation sheet) & u20184TPM2000u2019 (Trade promotion) come under which planning application head?
-     Marketing & Campaign Planning
-     Sales Planning
-     Quotation planning
-     Service planning
-     Resource planning
-     Profit planning
I guess it should be marketing and campaign planning? Please let me know. Thanks for your help.
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Marc,
Thanks for your response.
I have created a customized planning area with Business content (real time Infocube) in BPS side. Now when I do a transport of Std Planning area and its subordinates (i.e 4CFVS01 - planning area) in that case will it throw any error?
Since already the std infocube is mapped to a customzied planning area. Should I need to delete the customized planning area before doing a copy of the std planning area?
Thanks,
Vijay

Creating Profit Center Accounts

Hi,
I am looking to create accounts in PCA. We have one company code, controlling area, so I am looking to have the same accounts/cost elements in PCA as in our chart of accounts.
Can someone tell me how to create the accounts/cost elements in PCA. I could see two transactions KE5B and KE61. These are looking for financial statement version and cost element groups to copy from. My questions are
1. Is it necessary that we have all the accounts in a financial statement version to copy them over to PCA using KE5B, or is it possible to copy the chart of accounts directly to PCA.
2. I see that plans and actuals are recorded againts accounts in PCA. Then, why do we need to have cost elements in PCA?
3. Are KE5B/KE61 the only transactions to create/assign accounts to PCA? Do we need to do anything in config to assign accounts to PCA.
Thanks for your help.
Ram

Hi Ram
Would like to share my views on the above
In PCA we can create accounts and accounts groups. The cost elements created in CCA can be created as accounts in PCA. These accounts / account groups can be used in PCA for PCA assessment cycles. So, GL expense items which are represented as cost elements in CCA are represented in PCA as accounts.
There are three sets of books maintained GL Financial Books of accounts, CCA cost accounting records, and PCA. PCA books are maintained in ledger 8A. We come across this ledger when we customize reports thru report painter where in most of the customized reports, I have considered parameters of 8A ledger references viz, controlling area, company code, currency etc although they are same these records are also transferred to 8A ledger in PCA.
Would like to share my experience wherein I have done planning in PCA with creation of accounts and account groups
1)Planning for material consumption accounts PC wise T code 7KE1
2)Planning for COGS PC wise Tcode : 7KE1
3)Planning for sales PC wise T Code : 7KE1
4)Planning for inventories which are also created as accounts - Tcode : 7KE3
The above planning can be manually entered or integrated thru excel planning or uploaded thru excel files. We have various options available
1) The reason to do the above planning was to have PC wise Planned P&L.
2) To ensure cost center planning values are posted to PCs executed TCode
1KE0 CO Plan Data under Plan data transfer. This transfers cost center plan data to PCs assigned in cost center master data record
3) Once above planning parameters are completed, PC assessment cycles were run for transferring expenses within PCs. These expenses could be viz, Marketing costs, Corporate costs and Adm costs which are not allocated or assessed thru cost center assessments
4) To have above planning process, defined separate SKFs for PCA assessments which formed as basis of allocation for expense transfer within PCA. Ex; Sales qty, etc
5) With the above data flow customized PCA reports were created thru report painter for plan and actual values and variances.
Manaul Planning process was carried out for all elements was done in PCA since other planning tools Integrated Planning LTP and SOP were not within the scope. If those tools were enables and certain planner profiles and forecasting profiles were created and data is transferred and integrated from either COPA or sales / logistics planning to SOP. SOP planned values are considered at all levels of planning covering, CCP, Activity planning, product costing, internal orders and finally profit planning is derived.
Where these planning tools are not there, PCA planning as mentioned was followed.
Appreciate if someone can confirm / correct my understanding on the above process. Looking forward for comments

Planning data

Hi,
I am doing COAP Planning, Have created planning level on the basis of Sa;les organisation , planning packages on the basis of Years... now pls let me know in which all planning methods i need to define the parameter sets and how to input the planned data .
Thanks !

Hi ,
Sales Planning---
The process begins with the planning of target values, such as at the material
group level. Average prices and cost of goods manufactured can be determined
at this stage.
In the next planning phase, plan data is distributed top down. The plan data
for material groups is broken down into combinations of customer groups and
products.
In bottom up planning, the plan data can be entered manually for each sales
representative and then brought together in a single plan version.
In the fourth planning step, the additional plan data can be transferred to sales
and profit planning from other business areas, such as cost center accounting or
incoming orders.
After planning has been finalized, the plan data can be transferred to production
planning, allowing production plan data to be reconciled with sales planning.

Arun

Business Planning unclarities

Hallo SDN,
I have some Biz Planning & Simulation queries. Hope you can help me.
. Is key figure model = costing-based CO-PA in R/3? Are they synonymous?
. Is P&L = Profit Planning = KF model?
. How does P&L relate to B/S?
. Why is it that Profit Planning uses no characteristic values? If so, how can a record be identified with no char values?
. To which Planning of B/S is Cash Flow tied to ?
. Is n-*** value change of Indirect Method = offsetting entry (OE)?

Sorry, I have to ask, is SEM forum part of BW forum ? Is it the correct forum to post about SEM? Hope to get some replies. Since SEM is accounting related. Would this forum be most appropriate to advice on SEM / accounting related matters pertaining specifically to SEM?

                                   The issues i'm facing are:
When it is reading a row from MS-Excel it is writing to the .pdf file from last cell to first cell.( 2 cell in 1 place, 1 cell in 2 place like if the row has two cells with data as : Name of the Intern: Kesavulu Reddy then it is writing to the .pdf file as Kesavulu Reddy Name of Intern)
and the second issue is:
It is not recognizing the date format..it is recognizing the date in first row only......
Plz Tell me wht is the solution for this...

Use your debugger to step through the code line by line. This should help you understand what it's doing. Or if you don't want to do that, sprinkle output statements all over until you know what it's doing.
