Re: Sales forecast transfer to Demand Management

Hi All,
I am facing an issue regarding the Sales forecast transfer.
Actually what is happening is When I Enter some Sales forecast in the combination of a Customer/Payer/SLoc/product /Qty. using T-Code :KEPM & Then Further I transfer this Sales forecast by t-code KE1K.
I am able to see the quantities in the MC95 for that particular combination of as chosen while KEPM.
Now this happening in the right manner in the Quality client.
But when the user is trying to do the same in PRD client what is happening is the Plan is getting distributed to three location with same quantities which makes the total Sales forecast three times the actual.
Now I had recommended the user to input the specific data like customer/company code/Profit center & SLOC while KE1K.
Still he is facing this issue.
Please advice how to go for this.
Regards,
Vivek

Transfer to demand management - Flexible Planning

Hi everyone,
I was wondering whether someone has carried out the next process in the following scenario. I am working with flexible planning in SOP (level-by-level planning and dual level planning type, since I am working with product groups).
Now I would like to transfer to demand management some data stored in a ratio associated to one field (disaggregated value) in my planning table.
I tried to do it using the online mode but I just could transfer aggregated level values. I also tried to do it with batch processing (by creating a trannfer profile, then an activity, then a job and finally scheduling and executing the job) but there was an error message that looks like "No dual planning requirements allowed".
I would be very grateful if someone could give some useful information about how to solve my problem. I guess that someone in this forum has faced this challenge formerly.
Thanks in advance and best regards.
Ben.

Hi,
Yes, dual level was specified in the MC8A.
Thanks.

SOP and transfer to Demand management for MTO material

Hi all,
I have the following situation:
I have a material, a finished goods product with planning strategy 20 Make to order defined in the material master. I enter a sales forecast for the material in SOP in SAPECC (transaction MC87), works fine.
But when I try to release the forecast to Demand Management (MC74), I get the following error message: "No requirements type exists for material 110100 1 in plant 2". I can see that planning strategy 20 MTO does not have any requirement type defined.
But what is the best practice then to forecast on MTO materials (with strategy 20 MTO)?
What I want to do is to bring down the requirements of the MTO material to Long term planning to get a BOM explosion for the components. I realize that I should not start a production plan for the MTO material, but I want to plan the requirements for components several months ahead.
What is the best practice? Should I use a different production strategy? Am I missing config or any fundamental thinking here?
I need to have the material as a MTO strategy, but I want to plan the components.
Please, give me input on this if you have any solution.
Regards,
Lars

Hi Lars,
Here's what you need to do:
1. Instead of pure 20, customize a strategy group that has in it 20 and 10, and attach this strategy group to your material.
2. In MC74 specify requirements type LSF, demand management version, and make sure to uncheck the "active" box (otherwise you will get requirements in the operative system, and not only in LTP).
3. Do the transfer, and include the version in a LTP scenario.

How sale forecast transfer to COPA via KSPP and not related to long term,

Dear all experts,
i am trying to transfer my sale forecast to COPA via KSPP. However, this is not related to product group and long term planning.
any configuration involve?
what is the step that i need to proceed?
please advise.
CJ

I think you are misunderstood something. The KSPP transaction is used to transfer the activity for the planned order; either long-term or short term to cost center activity type planning (in scheduled activity; and with reconciliation function, can copy to plan quantity).
It is not related to sales forecast from COPA to SOP which KE1E t-code is used.
For KSPP, you can set the transfer control in configuration. Alternatively, without configuration, you can use flexible transfer (menu Environment -> Flexible transfer). This provide that you have the master data in PP and CO setup correctly.

How to transfer the bom collectively in SOP & how tondelete the product group.
Regards
bhuvan

Bhuvan,
What do you mean by "transfer the bom collectively in SOP"? There is no concept of BOM, but there can be product groups, which can have Product Groups / Materials as members, the lowest level of the product group should contain material as members.
Product group is nothing but Material master, with material type PROD, so you need to follow the reorganisation process same as the one for material master to delete product group. If you are looking at deleting the members of a product group, then that is possible in the change mode of the Product group transaction.

Demand Management Through SOP

Hello Everyone,
I have a scenario where I receive an 8 week rolling forecast from marketing. This is transferred to production. 2 weeks before actual production the plan is firmed.
I was hoping to implement this using SOP transfer to demand management. I was also planning to use an MRP type with a planning time fence. But am not exactly sure of the best practice to transfer Rough cut plann data to demand management. Do I directly transfer the Rough cut plan to a "requirements plan" version?
If not what would be the best possible solution to run SOP?
Also Please suggest as to any specific configuration settings to be maintained for SOP.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Aji Kurian Mani

Hi
It depends on at which aggregation level you are receiving the Forecast.
if you are receiving at Plant -Material level. I would advice you to directly upload in to MD61.
SOP is required, if you need to do any forecasting in SAP.
or if you need to publish , analsyse the Historical and Forecasting Values at diffrent Org Levels(Plant, cutomer, Material,Sales org....etc)
using the planning tables you can maintain the Figures at one Level, which gets aggregated automatically.

Demand management table

Sir,
We are following the process of SOP in REM as follows:-
1) Creation of Product group.
2) Upload the Sales plan for product group
3) Desagregation of products
4) Copy to active version from inactive version
5) Transfer to demand management
we reqire the table for Sales and operation plan and also after transherring to demand management which table is updated. This is required as we are preparing a report for Sales Plan v/s Production plan.
Thanks & Regards,
Nilesh

Hi,
Transferring SOP to Demand Management :
Use:
You can pass on data planned in Flexible Planning or Standard SOP to Demand Management.
Demand Management determines the requirement dates and requirement quantities for important assemblies and specifies the strategies for planning and producing/procuring finished products. The result of Demand Management is the demand program. The demand program differentiates planned independent requirements and customer independent requirements. It gives the information needed in MPS and MRP for planning at SKU level. The placing of sales orders eventually consumes planned requirements and triggers updating to the Sales Information System. This actual data can then be used as input for future sales planning. For more information, see PP Demand Management.
Prerequisites:
The system distributes the data to the appropriate plants in Demand Management on the basis of the quotas you set in Customizing (in Define proportional distribution across plants). You can also make these settings in the Flexible Planning or Standard SOP menu by choosing Settings ® Plant distribution. Plant distribution works as follows:
If a plant or plants can be found for the material in the planning hierarchy, data is transferred to Demand Management for these plants.
If no plant can be found in the planning hierarchy, the system checks to see which plants have been maintained for the material in the material master record. It then checks to see whether distribution quotas have been maintained for the material. If quotas have been maintained, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas.
If no distribution quotas are found for the material, the system checks to see whether you have set generic distribution quotas; that is, distribution quotas that apply to all materials. If so, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas. If generic quotas exist for some but not all plants maintained in the material master record, the system assumes that the distribution quotas of plants without generic quotas are 0.
If no distribution quotas are found at allu2014neither material-specific nor generic onesu2014, the system splits the data equally among all the plants in the material master record.
See also:
Plant Distribution Quotas
Features
Independent requirements are created in Demand Management for all materials whose data has been transferred. These independent requirements are created in the base unit of measure of the material. The base unit of measure of the material is not necessarily the same as the base unit of measure of the information structure or the unit in which you planned the material. See also Switching Units in the Planning Table.
You can transfer SOP data to Demand Management in the following ways:
Transferring Online, Synchronously and Automatically:
You set the following information structure parameters in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning (in Set parameters of info structures and key figures).
Field name of the key figure whose values are to be transferred
Planning version from which the data is to be transferred
Demand version to which the data is to be transferred
The system creates or overwrites independent requirements in Demand Management every time you save this planning version of the information structure in Flexible Planning.
Transferring Online, Asynchronously and Manually
You choose between the following options:
Transfer of the planning data of all members of a single-level product group from standard SOP (a single-level product group is a product group whose members are materials)
Transfer of the planning data created for one material from standard SOP
Transfer of key figure values from an information structure
You make the following general settings:
The material or product group whose data you want to be transferred
The plant of this material or product group
The planning version of the information structure in which the data is stored
The dates for which you want the data to be transferred
Whether you want to check what the data looks like as independent requirements before you transfer it
The requirements type
If you do not make an entry, the system sets the requirements type via the MRP group which is maintained in the material master record.
The version of the demand program to which you want the data to be transferred
Whether this version of the demand program is active and therefore relevant to MRP
Depending on the option you chose in step 1, you set one of the following strategies.
Transferring Planning Data from a Single-Level Product Group:
You transfer the sales plans of the materials direct.
You transfer the sales plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
You transfer the production plans of the materials direct.
You transfer the production plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
Transferring Planning Data of One Material from Standard SOP:
You transfer the sales plan of the material direct
You transfer the sales plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
You transfer the production plan of the material direct
You transfer the production plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
Transferring Key Figure Data of One Material from Flexible Planning
The information structure from which you want the key figure data to be transferred
The key figure whose values you want to be transferred
This key figure must be a quantity key figure.

SOP and Demand Management!

Hello SAP Gurus, I need a litle help,
I have created a SOP in transaction MC87 for a material/plant with quantity 100 for month 10. Then I make a copy to Demand Management and in MD04 I have the requirements. So far so good.
The problem is: when I change the quantity in MC88 for the material/plant to 0, the system doesn't copy to demand management the 0 quantity.
Is there any way to put this to work this way or do I have to go in MD61 and delete the requirements for the material/plant?
Thanks in advance,
Adelmo Silva

Hello again SAP friends,
Maybe I can explain myself beter:
SAP v4.6C
1. MC88 - I change de Rough-Cut Plan for my material/plant with production values equal to 0 (zero).
2. I transfer to demand management and everything works fine!
SAP ECC 6.0
I do the same as SAP V4.6C and I get the error: "No data maintained for material ARS_PA_01 plant 1000 in transfer period Message no. MA640"
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance,

Sop to demand management

Dear friends,
In SOP Single level product group value can be transferred to demand management (mc81 - extras - transfer to demand management). But for multi level product group - how to transfer to demand management from SOP?
regards
v.senthilkumar

Hi,
This is not possible, since in SOP, values for only the lowest level in a product group, can be transferred to demand management. In case of sinlge level product group, automatically you have the lowest level, which you are transferring (basically the material). But, in case of multi-level, there are PGs below PG.
So, you first need to disaggregate your requirements from a higher level product group to a lower level one. You need to disaggregate to the lowest level (the material) in the hierarchy.
Use transaction MC76 for the same. After that you would be able to transfer the requirements to demand management.
Revert in case of any problems.
Rgds,
Shrenik
