Promotion Planning Key Figures

Hi,
How many key figures are recommend to support the promotion planning process?
Should I have one key figure for past promotions and another one for future promotions?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
The key figure Promotions is the sum of costs for promotions that cannot be assigned directly to a product.Technical Name: 0PROMOTIONS.
In a scenario like, if you are comparing two promotions on the promotion planning screen, when you view a single promotion, you can see the various key figures such as promotion history, promotion forecast, promotion stockouts, and released promotion demand for the relevant products. When you compare two promotions, all these key figures are displayed for both promotions.
Some of the typical key figures used in promotion planning are
1) The Key figure with technical name 0CMNUMPRRT determines the number of promotions in which products belonging to a segment are sold.
2) Key Figure: 0RPA_PRMQTY key figure contains the quantity to be assigned from sales for a promotion.
3) Key Figure: 0RT_PRDCAMT key figure describes an absolute amount by which a sales price is reduced as part of a retail promotion

Business Process: Final Demand Plan Key Figure in the past for APO DP

Hello APO process experts,
I have a BPX question for APO DP process owners, consultants or gurus:
1.- Have you ever seen in any SAP APO customer, that in their APO DP planning books, they chose or designed to update the Final Demand Plan key Figure in the past closed historical buckets with the Actual Sales?
Meaning that that in the Past closed historical Buckets, Actual Sales and Final Demand Plan, look exactily the same.
Meaning that they create a dynamic Final Demand Plan key figure so to speak, yet they did not choose to create a key figure that also keeps the Final Demand Plan as originally entered.
2.- Would you think that doing the above, without keeping any keyfigure in the planning book that actually shows what the Final Demand Plan was in the Past, is a good practice?
The Demand Planner could still retreive the Final Demand Plan from BI reports, yet, dynamically they could never really see it in the planning book.
3.- Do you think the above dynamic key figure would bias the Demand Planner's behaviour to manipulate the future open Final Demand Plan buckets to enter volumes in order sum to a monthly total, independently of what were the over and underachievements in the past (since they are not really visible to him) ?
I would really like your feedback,
thanks in advance!
JD Loera

Hello Thanks for your feedback.
I agree with your point, and I hope that i still get more feedback from other Business Process Experts.
I am trying to build a case for my client, to challenge the decision of their initial design as this practice is going to hurt the Demand Management process, if what they intend to achieve is a true "unconstrained demand plan"
Much appreciated

Updating data in APO demand planning key figure

Hi
We have a key figure in Demand planning which is not present in Info cube, This key figure is just avaialable in SAPAPO SDP94for manullay key in some data, Now I want to update data in this key figure via extrnal file i.e text file.
Could u suggest some ways for this, Remember this key figure is not present in Info cube, Hence we can not feed in External file to Info cube, We some other way for updating data in this key figure,
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Lavhe

If your client is not Ok with standard way of flat file upload, Also If you will get a file from external customer on weekly basis then definitely they will put it somewhere either on local server or application server.
I would suggest, Define the format for the flat file,Ask User to put that file on application server, Write a simple program to get data from that file on application server, Update the KeyFigure using standard BAPIs available,After updation delete that file from server.Schedule this program in background on weekly basis so that every time it will check for new file on server path and update the Keyfigure accordingly.
I know this is a custom development but this will work.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Multiproviders - Key figures

I created a multiproivder on planned and actual cubes.
Identified all the relevant characteristics.
Key figures technical names are same in both plan and actual infocubes.
How do I display my data for both plan key figures and actual key figures in the display of the multiprovider data and also the in the query.
Ex: IC1 - Planned Key Figures : Q1, C1, C2
      IC2 - Actual    Key Figures : Q1, C1, C2
      MP - Multiprovider Key Figures : Q1, C1, C2
I would like see the data from the multiprovider(both in BW and BEx) as...
Q1(Planned) Q1 (Actual) C1 (Planned) C1(Actual) C2(Planned) C2(Actual)
BI 7.0 is the environment.
Please advise.
Thanks,
BW

In BW3.5 Neel's answer is right, you can restrict a key figure by an infoprovider (in columns).
I hope this will work in BW7.0 as well.
Just add the KF to the column and restrict using the Plan/Actual cube (characteristic infoprovider).
I think it should work.
(modified)
I've tried to do what Neel's said (BW7.0), and it works, I am able to add two times the same KF from a MultiCube and restrict each one for one InfoCube.
I've not executed the query, but the checking says that the query is correct.
I don't understand why Ajeet says that it doesn't work.
Regards.

Key Figure Display in Interactive Planning

Hello,
I am unable to display some of the key figures in SNP Interactive Planning. All these Key Figures are present in Planning book and are also included in the data view.
Is there any setting wherein I can control the display of Key figure although that key figure is present in Planning book and data view. For Example I have my "safety stock" key figure in my planning book and data view, but I am unable to see the "safety stock" key figure in SNP interactive planning.
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sarath.

Hi Visu,
Your answer is really helpful, thanks for that. But while I am trying to hide some key figures it is not allowing me to do so. It is either hiding all the key figures or unhiding all. Please let me know if why the system is behaving like this.
Thanks

Key figure display in planning book with respect to Time bucket profile

Hi,
I am loading a key figure to planning area from the info cube for the current month. When I review the key figure in planning book with monthly time bucket profile it shows 85 for the current month. In the same planning book with weekly bucket profile, it shows 55 from the current week and future weeks and the remaining 30 goes into the past weeks of the current month.
How to make the total quantity 85 to show in the current and future weeks only.
thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi Murugesan,
Within the Planning Area, the data is stored at the lowest level granularity that you maintain in storage bucket profile. Then during display, system will decide what data to show depending on what kind of time bucket profile you use in the planning view, and the time based disaggregation that you maintain for Key Figure.
In this below case, what time characteristic do you have in cube? Is it date, week or month?
If it's date, check how much KF data is maintained on the dates which belong to week which has days both in this month/last month e.g. if I talk about Dec 2011, how much data is stored 1,2,3 & 4 th of Dec, 2011.
This data would appear in Dec in monthly view, but in week, it would appear in the week starting 28th November.
If data is maintained in cube in weeks, then you need to calculate how time based disaggregation would show it to you in months.
If it's months, then you would need to find out how much data would go to the days in the past week of the month.
The time based disaggregation may be causing you some issues, but in that case, I would not expect 30 out of 85 to go in the past week, unless you have data in cube in days.
Data shown in weekly view for week starting 28th Nov should ideally be a small proportion of 85, unless you are using a time stream/fiscal year variant, due to which most of December is in holidays. The only other exception I can think of is that you have data in teh days mentioned above.
It would be best to help the business understand this disaggregation logic, rather than thinking of manipulating the data to shift to a later week.
If this logic doesn't explain your situation, then please provide the date/week/month at which you have data in cube, and what quantity.
Thanks - Pawan

Key figure flag in the planning layout

Hi,
Can anyone explain the importance of the key figure flag in the planning layout?
Regds
Pavan.

Hi Arun and Zegion,
Thank you for your responses.
Arun, I do not have any aggregates on the cube. I changed the aggregate properties of the Key Figure from SUM to Minimum. this has solved my problem temporarily.
the reason I am saying temporarily because this is a SAP delivered InfoObject. This is for the datasource 0CO_PC_PCP_01. When I read through the documents, it said, SUMMation for Aggregation and Last value for "Exception Aggregation" will display the value of KF as the last value and does not add them up.
Since this wasn't the happening in my query, I changed the Aggregation from SUM to Minimum.
Regards,
S.P

Key Figure Planning in Marketing Planner ?????

Hi All,
We have to implement CRM Campaign Management for our Client. We have sligntly modified the standard Planning Profiles and Planning Layout in BW BPS and created a custom z-package. The RFC connection has already been setup with the BW system and is working/tested successfully. On CRM side we have created Planning Profile Group, having the required Planning Profiles which are created in BW BPS.
Now the problem is, we are not able to see the Planning Layouts in CRM Campaign Management Key Figure Planning.
We really dont know what went wrong, or if there is some extra setting we need to do. I searched almost all the SAP HELP, but couldnt find any procedure or doc.
Can you experts out there help me in resolving this issue, if you have already faced similar problem it will be of great help.

Meaning of CONDET key figure in standard 9ASNP94 APO SNP planning book

I am trying to clarify the use and meaning of the CONDET (capacity consumption details) key figure in the SAP standard SNP planning book 9ASNP94.
Any advice appreciated...

Hi Frank,
This indeed is practical requirement wih no simple solution ( at least we did not find).
We created a background job for deletion of the stocks ( which were updated through IDOCs like your situation) at specific periodicity. The jobs were made as per planners with specific variants and when planner would like to delete the stocks, the job will be run.
Another option could to be copy the standard program /SAPAPO/RLCDELETE to a module program and check validation at the input screen, before calling the deletion program.

How to use a non cumulative key figure in a multi planning area

Hi
I'm new to bps, my problem is
I need to read the last stock quantity and value at plant and material level to do further calculations in a fox formula, so i made a planning area for the cube 0rt_c36 and another for my tc cube where the results should go, then i combine these areas in a multiplanning area.
problems arise when selecting the key figure in the ratios tab of the multi area, the ratios 0CPTOTSTOBU (last stock) and 0CPTOTSTOPV (last stock purchase value) are not available, only the inflow and outflow ratios are 0CPTOTREBU and 0CPTOTREPV.
I know when reporting, the actual value for stock is calculated by bex, namely, there is no data store at database level, so the question is:
How to obtain last stock for using in bps??
thank you for any help
regards
A. Garduñ

Hi Azael,
In the How to Papers, you will find a Guide on how to take a Sanpshot view of the Stocks(How To Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW). Basically if you implement the Guide, you will have another cube called ICSNAP1, which will contain stock quantities /values at the end of each month. You will therefore have to take stock at the end of the last month from that cube and add up the relevant receipts and issues to arrive at the current Stock or Stock as on a particular date.
Hope this helps!

Sriram

Adding new key figures to DP planning area

I am using APO DP.
When adding new key figures to a planning area, is there any way of avoiding having to deinitialise and then re initialise the planning area?
Thanks for any advice on this...

First of, let us know which version of DP are you using.
If you are using 7.0, all you need to do is right click on your planning area and select Change Keyfigure setting and you should be able to update the key figures there.
The below is from SAP help for SAP APO 7.0, you should be able to add the key figure without deinitializing the planning area.
Key Figure Settings
Here you can change the properties of the key figures of a planning area, if the planning area has already been initialized. You can also add or delete key figures. However, you can only delete key figures that are no longer used in planning books, data views, macros, or demand forecasts. You can find out in which objects a specific key figure is used with the where-used list.

Planning Book Macro which can read different key figures from data views

Hi Experts,
I am looking for help to create a Planning book level macro which is having capabilities to read different Key Figure across the different Data Views. For example DataView 1 has Sales Orders and Data view 2 has Forecast and I want put in Data view 3 the netted numbers from SO and Forecast.
Please provide me some quick pointers.
Regards,
Rahul Mohnot

Hi,
Not only is it the easiest way, it is the only way to do it as Laurence has put it. As you can see, macro workbooks are created for a Planning Book/Dataview combination.
Thanks
