Release Profile

HI All,
1) What is the difference between
'Release profile' and 'Release to SNP' Tcode /SAPAPO/MC90
2) Is there any way i can release the demand directly to PPDS from DP?
Thanks,
Santhana.

Hi,
You use release profile in case you want to release the job in the background and MC90 is a interactive transaction. I guess the main difference is with the time horizon. In release profile, you have no where to define the release horizon all the demand in the specified planning book time bucket profile is released. Wher as in MC90, you can specify your own horizon.
The forecast in DP once released to Livecache makes no difference being in SNP or PPDS except that PPDS supports descriptive characteristics.
So, releasing demand from SNP and PPDS is same and really speaking it's released from Live cache order series to SP time series.
You can use the transaction /sapapo/lcout for this.

E-Recruiting Popup warning released profile

Hi Experts,
I have a request from a client. The client would like to see the popup warning at the end of an application removed, step "Send application".
The popup warning appears when the candidate has not checked "Release profile".
I have looked in the configurator, SPRO etc. but no luck! Be able to hide all the text fields, but not the entire popup box.
This candidate side is using WD, and we are on a e-Rec 603.
Hope you guys can help!
Kind Regards
Christian

Hello Christian,
the popup cannot be hidden by customizing in spro. You will have to do an enhancement or a modification in the component controller of web dynpro component HRRCF_C_APPL_SEND_UI in method REQUEST_POPUP. If you want to generally hide the profile release flag in the send application screen you can place a pre- and a post enhancement which set the flag at the beginning and delete it afterwards to bypass the popup. Otherwise you need either to do a modification or store the flag anywhere global to set it back in the post exist.
If you want to hide this popup you might want to check back with your customer if they also want to suppress the popup for profile release when entering the startpage of the external candidate. You can find this in web dynpro component HRRCF_C_STARTPAGE -> COMPONENTCONTROLLER -> method RAISE_POPUP_NOTIFICATIONS.

Deactivate Scheduling Agreement Release Profile

Hi,
We have configured scheduling agreement release profile for JIT and forecast delivery schedules.
For some reasons we do not want to use the release profile, we do not wont schedule line release using ME84.
Can any one pls suggest how to deactivate the release and also if any other settings has to be unchecked.
Pls do the needful.
Regards,
Neha

Hi Prashanth,
Changing the setting from 2 to 1 in source list will not be relevant as schedule lines has to be generated while MRP run.
I understand that if the material is checked for JIT in material master and when the Doc type is LPA then the scheduling agreement automatimatically goes for release. Correct me if I am wrong.
Should the config setting for creation profile to be deleted from SPRO settings.
Pls lemme know.

Difference between Release DP to SNP and Release profile

Hi Experts,
What is the difference between Release DP to SNP
And maintain Release profile. Can u suggest am lot of confusion about these?
Explain in brief.
prasad

Hi Prasad,
Aparna point is absolutely correct. From usage point of view, date is the only difference.
There are 2 options to release forecast from DP to SNP.
1. Demand Planning -> Planning -> Release -> Release to Supply Network Planning.
2. By creating Rlease profile, activity , planning job, etc
1 is used for online purpose & for few product/location combinations. However 2 is used for the mass processing.
Use 1 to release a limited amount of data (a few product / location combinations only) from Demand Planning to Supply Network Planning. Do not use it for mass releases, for example large planning books.
If you try to release too much data with this transaction, memory problems are likely, since the system tries to read all the data
simultaneously. For mass processing, use 2 - Releasing the Demand Plan with Mass Processing.
Decision is based on data volume & performance.
Hope this helps.

Nawanit

E-Rec 6.04 Search candidates who haven't released their profile.

Hi,
We are on E-Rec 604.
My client want could search candidates who haven't released their profile.
I know that with the manual application option they could do it but they have an special recruitment process in wich there aren´t publications...
There is any way to find candidates without release profile in the Recruiter option "Search candidates"?.
Somebody could guide me, please?.
Best Regards,
Esther

Hi,
Thanks tmusungwa, I´ll speak with our delevepment team.
Nicole, one question about your answer... Where is used this service exactly?.
Perhaps I did something wrong, beacuse I only can find candidates without release profile in the iview "Search" in the Recuiter Recruitment part. But I can´t use this option because it doesn´t let us assign candidates to requisitions, and this is our problem...
Could you guide me, please?.

Problem with creating release for Scheduling agremenyt

Hi
iam getting this error while generating release for the delivery schedules
the error details are " Reason no:25 reason:06 857 No Message record found"
How to solve this issue i have maintained teh release profile and assigned to schedulin agreement additional datas.
Is generating release is just communication to vendor about delivery schedules.If teh schedulking agreement type is LPA(with release) then after generating release only is it possible to do GR for the delivery schedule lines.

Hi,
It is linked in the message config in the SPRO
MM > Purchasing > Messages > Output control > Message determination schema > Define message determination schemas for Scheduling agreeement release.
When you have checked this you will see the condition types that are relevant, go to MN10 and make sure that you have an entry for each condition type that you are using.

Release Of Forecast From DP To SNP (For Some Locations, Only Baseline)

Dear All,
Generally, we follow the following procedure....In the month begining, we generate the baseline forecast for all the locations (we are having around 20 branches). Then we used to open the DP planning book for a couple of days to our branch persons so that they are able to feed their correction. After which we release the final forecast i.e. Baseline Forecast +/- Branch correction to SNP for further proceesing.
This month, we opened the planning book (as usual). Branches did the branch correction. But on final checking, we found that around 4 - 5 branches have done corrections / updations very vagely i.e. roughly. So, we wants to ignore their branch correction.
My query be that is it possible that while releasing the Forecast from DP to SNP... can we release baseline forecast for selective five branches and for the rest of the branches, we wants to release final forecast key figure i.e. Baseline +/- Branch correction.
Kindly advise further.
With Best Regards,

You have not mentioned at what level you are doing the forecasting. If forecasting is done at material- branch level then what you are asking can be achieved easily. All you have to do is go to /n/sapapo/mc90 ( or create a release profile) and for the branches for which you want to release baseline forecast , you have to specify the baseline forecast keyfigure in the input and specify the material branches in the i/p criteria. For adjusted forecast you have to use another variant and specify the adjusted forecast key figure and the corresponding material branches.
Iam not sure how your requirement can be achieved in case you are forecasting @ material level.
Thanks

[iPhone] AppStore release problem

Hi Guys,
I've got a little problem when I come to release an app.
I've watched the video regarding AppStore releases on iTunes and read all the other stuff, I think my xcode is all setup fine.
When I come to build the app using my release profile, it all builds fine. However when it comes to install the app on the phone, i get the error:
Your mobile device has encountered an unexpected error (0xE800003A) during the install phase: Verifying application
How can I fix this? To me it looks like the phone doesnt have the correct key install so it cant validate the app? I'm going to do a vanilla install of iPhone OS, any thoughts?

Hey, I'm having a somewhat similar problem in that my development builds all work fine, my app is debugged and ready for distribution build so i can upload to itunes connect but for some reason the distribution prov. profile is not showing up as an option under 'Code Signing Provisioning Profile' in project info (i have 'Code Signing Identity' set to 'iPhone Distribution: MYNAME').
I created a distribution certificate and distribution profile. I have both certificates in keychain access (development and distribution) as well as the WWDC certificate. i have a private/public key pair for each cert. i have the distribution provision file in the 'provision profiles' directory and it shows up under provisioning area under each device i have in 'organizer' (even tho i can't select it since it's distribution).
I have spent like three hours no trying to figure this out. (i even deleted/revoked both development and distribution certificates and prov. profiles and started over to no avail) Anyone have any idea???

Release Planned Orders from SNP to R/3

Hello Experts:
I have a business request to release the Production Planned KF from SNP into a frozen MPS (or even an inactive fcst version) in R/3. Since we have only released a forecast from the DP side to R/3 in the past, can anyone tell me the best practice to release from SNP to R/3? Do I need to create an info cube to perform the release?
The business runs a Heuristic in SNP at the finished good level and the makes modifications and would like to release this to be used in the R/3 MRP run for some groups of materials, as opposed to releasing the forecast for MRP to run on.
Currently, I can send the data from SNP Production Planned KF to a time series KF in DP and release to MD63 from there, but they would like to release directly from SNP in the future.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
If you want to release SNP planning data to ECC, you need to make following settings.
In customizing
Maintain Distribution definitions
Maintain Settings in Configure transfer to OLTP system in SNP customizing-Global Settings.
If you maintain periodic setting in SNP setting, you need to run transaction /SAPAPO/C5 to transfer data.
As well as u can do this also :
1) You need to create a release profile using transaction /sapapo/mc8s
2) In release profile, you need to maintain planning area, key figure to
be transformed, plg version, category, etc.,
3) Once it is created, using transaction /sapapo/mc8t, maintain the
R/3 transfer steps
4) Then create a planning job in background using transaction
/sapapo/mc8d

EREC: Qucik search functionality for locked profiles of candidates

Hi Experts,
Normally when a candidate register themselves in e-Recruiting application, they have two option to set their profile status i.e. 'Locked' and 'Released'.
Locked - Applicant is inactive or not looking for change. So when recruiter do a search, they won't see 'Locked' profiles.
But in our case, recruiters are able to see the Locked profiles. which is not correct.
Could you please let me know how it can be restricted. So that recruiters will not be able to see the locked candidate profiles.
Please suggest some hints.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anil

Hello,
This is how the standard e-recruiting quick search works. It does not take into account the attachments of objects nor the candidate profile status. It searches for the structured free text data only and also searches for candidates with both released profiles and candidates with locked profiles.
If you want the recruiters to be able to search for released candidates then they have to use either the TRM search for candidates (Candidate Search service), the search for candidates in the context of a requisition (Search and Proposed Candidates link), and the search for candidates in the context of a talent group. These three searches take into account candidates with released profiles only.

Releasing demand plan from DP into custom categories in SNP.

Hi Gurus,
I need to release the demand plan from DP into SNP custom categories Z1 thru Z4. The key figures that I mapped to these custom categories are created in a non-standard planning area (copied from 9ASNP02).
I am able to release the demand plan using category FA only. Can anyone help me in releasing demand plan into these custom categories in SNP.
Thanks,
Shiv.

Shiv
I did a F1 help on target category field in tcode /n/sapapo/mc90 and this is what i found
For the release of the demand plan to Supply Network Planning, you can specify a category that tells the system which category of orders to release to. An entry in this field is optional, but if you do enter a category it must be a category that represents sales orders or forecasts, such as FA or FB.
You can also release to categories you have created yourself. This allows you to distinguish, for example, between different forecast priorities.
The system proceeds as follows:
1. Has a category been entered in the release profile? If yes, this category is used.
2. If no, has a category been set in the definition of the requirements strategy in Customizing? (You define the product's strategy in the Proposed strategy field on the Demand tab of the product master record.) If yes, this category is used.
3. If no, category FA (forecasts) is used.
So as the F1 help says in the release transaction /n/sapapo/mc90 did you try giving the custom categories ? Also i have one more idea - after the forecast gets released to category FA , copy it to a key figure that is assigned custom cateogries Z1 to Z4.
But just want to understand something . Why do you want to release it to a custom cateory instead of FA ? How are you going to handle the consumption of forecasts by sales orders if you release it to custom category. I think releasing it to a custom category will make your process more complicated since you are altering the standard SAP functionality.
Thanks

Releasing a portion of Forecast for SAME product to SNP and a portion to R3

After running DP forecasting, can a portion of the forecast for the SAME product be released to SNP and a portion transferred to R3 ?
The requirement here is for a product, say Prod1, demand comes from 2 Business lines. Through Project System u2013 PS module, system differentiated the business lines
From a DP phase 1 perspective, client want to do global forecasting for 2 business lines
The challenge we r facing is demand coming from Business line 2 cannot be consumed in SNP as demand comes in the form of Automatic Reservations and CIF doesnt have the capability to CIF automatic reservations. Standard CIF only cifs manual reservations. So client wants the forecast for Business line 2 (Note that this is for the same product) to be transferred to R3.
So can a portion of the forecast for the SAME product be released to SNP and a portion transferred to R3 ?
TIA

Hi Visu, thanks for the reply
So if If I want to release the demand plan as a background job to both R/3 and SNP based on certain characteristic(Business Line), I am thinking of doing the below things.
Release to R3 -- >
1. Create a Transfer Profile
2 . Create an Activity using "MC8T- Define Activities for Mass Processing" and assign this transfer profile to the activity.
3. Create a Planning Job by selecting a Selection ID( that has the demand separation characteristic)
4. Schedule the Planning Job
Release to SNP -- >
1. Create a Release Profile
2 . Create an Activity using "MC8T- Define Activities for Mass Processing" and assign this Release profile to the activity.
3. Create a Planning Job by selecting a Selection ID( that has the demand separation characteristic)
4. Schedule the Planning Job
However, I am not sur eif I can do the follwoing.
1. Can I create a SINGLE Planning job to release demand BOTH to R3 and SNP ?
2. If I am using Different Key Figures in the planning area( per business line), do I have the need to maintain a separate characteristic value in the POS, as anyway I can load the data from cube to these separate key figures based on business line ?
3. MOST IMPORTANTLY, if I use different planning jobs to release to R3 and SNP, I can have different selection ID's ( per business line) and select these in the planning job instead of maintaing TWO DIFFERENT Key figures. do you think this is feasible ? Any thoughts/advice ?
TIA

Schedule Line releases in APO do not show in IDoc

Hey Guys,
1) The scheduling agreements are released to ECC via /sapapo/pwbsch1 even though i do not maintain any release profile, confirmation profile or process in the /sapapo/pwbsrc1 under the Sch. Agmt tab. I have the distribution definition maintained.
My understanding is that without maintaining any values for release profile, the release should fail when executed via PWBSCH1.
2) When i create releases for schedule lines using /sapapo/pwbsch1, the schedule lines get published to ECC and i have verified them. I do not see them published in the IDoc's in APO though. ( transaction WE02 ). Does the IDoc have any settings to be done for the SA releases to show up.

Ruchi

another thing, earlier, when everything seemed to be working properly, I noticed that the render indicator lines on top of the time line would change from either a gray or light blue to a green. Now it doesn't change even after I've made changes. So it seems that the timeline isn't recognizing the changes for some reason. Yet when I double click on the clip and then select the filters tab in the viewer and watch the video in the viewer the changes are all there. Only after I drag the clip from the viewer and place it on top of the previous one, the render indicator lines change to red.

Release category

Hi all,
I released my demand plan to supply network plan,in Release profile i used category FC but no data is shown in SNP planning book,afterwards i used category FA insted of FC this time all my data is shown in my SNP planning book what is the difference between FA and FC .
Is there any specific settings for FA,is there any document please let me know.
Thanks in advance
prabhu

Hi,
Categories serve to group orders according to different kinds of stocks, goods receipts, goods issues and order types. Enter a category that represents orders or forecasts such as FA or FB. The system creates demand orders with reference to the category in the liveCache order area (also called Order liveCache). The category is determined during the release to SNP as follows:
1.   Has a category been entered in the release profile? If yes, this category is used.
2.   If no, has a category been set in the definition of the requirements strategy in Customizing? (You define the products strategy in the Proposed strategy field on the Demand tab page of the product master record.) If yes, this category is used.
3.   If no, the category FA (forecasts) is used.
Hope this will be useful for you.

How can I run a custom program ASYNCHRONOUSLY when booting WinPE?

I have a custom application that I want to have running during WinPE for my Litetouch deployments. I had this working in SCCM and now I want to get it working in MDT.
I have the Netcheck.exe application in my Extras folder, it ends up on the root of my X: drive.
Here is my unattend.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

By default, the Litetouch.wsf file is launched synchronously, and so my Netcheck app won't run until the Litetouch wizard closes (this won't work for my needs). Also, synchronous commands are run before Asynchronous commands. Therefore, I need to run
both my custom Netcheck app and the Litetouch wizard Asynchronously.
However, every time I use the unattend file that I pasted above, WinPE boots and then immediately reboots. If I am quick and hit F8 I get a command prompt, and then my Netcheck app and the Litetouch wizard both run (sweet!), but then when I close that cmd
prompt, WinPE shuts down (lame).
The wpeinit.log is shown below. Everything seems to look good, so what is wrong? How can I accomplish this?
