Sales Forecast Scenario - help needed

Dear Experts
I need your help in following forecast scenario:
I am have two planning areas, one for actuals and other for planning (The cube structure are similar). The forcast function is written at material and month level in mutiplanning area. I have created a new planning version LE2 by copying actuals for first six months of 2008.
I like to generate forecast for next six months in this plannng version. by using reference data from actuals planning area with version # and period 01.2007 to 06.2008. I am using Automatic Forecast Method as the strategy.
I have restricted the calmonth characteristic in the package as 07.2008 to 12.2008. The fields for reference in the function has calmonth from 01.2007 to 06.2008 and # as version and planning area = planned. Field for condition has version # and planned as planning area.
I have following issues:
The function is using refrence data from 01.2007 to 12.2007 and not up to 06.2008?
Proposing values for version # and actuals planning area insted of LE3 version and Planned planning area.
Please guide.
Best Regards
Shahid

Hi
There is a correction in my previous mail. The planning area in reference data is set to actuals.

Data Load scenario- help needed

Hi gurus,
Please help me with the below scenarios for the LO mechanism:
Rec 1 entered in R3 between T1 and T2 (during R3 setup table population). When does Rec1 get into BW?
Rec 2 entered in R3 between T2 and T3 (after setup table population but before initialization loads). When does Rec 2 get into BW?
Rec 3 entered in R3 between T3 and T4 (during initial loads in BW). When does Rec 3 get into BW?
Rec 4 entered in R3 after initialization is completed after T4. When does Rec 4 get into BW?
Time
T1                                          T2    T3                                                                               T4
|--|---||--
       Rec 1                                Rec2                                   Rec 3                                                   Rec 4
T1 T2 Setup Tables populated
T3 T4 Initial Loads performed
T4 onwards Delta Loads performed

Hi ,
senario1;Rec 1 entered in R3 between T1 and T2 (during R3 setup table population). When does Rec1 get into BW?
during the setup table filling ,v3 jobs will be descheduled
you need to lock all the user's (no user can post documents)
Rec 2 entered in R3 between T2 and T3 (after setup table population but before initialization loads). When does Rec 2 get into BW?
here just setup table is filled,however init is not performed
so still v3 jobs will be in descheduled mode ,the posting which were/are happened sits in application tables
Rec 3 entered in R3 between T3 and T4 (during initial loads in BW). When does Rec 3 get into BW
here init is running,it will be down time for R/3 due to heavy load processing to BW
so still v3 jobs will be in descheduled mode ,the posting which were/are happened still sits in application tables
Rec 4 entered in R3 after initialization is completed after T4. When does Rec 4 get into BW?
after init,now we need to schedule v3 jobs, so all the postings(which were posted earlier/which are posted for the moment) now will transfer from application tables to delta que depending on the update mode(direct/queued/un serialized)
Hope this helps you!!!!!!!

Critical Scenario - Help Needed

Hi Gurus,
Scenario:
1) I have a table control with 2 radio buttons, 7 columns and 1 column of push buttons.
2) On click of radio button 2, the push button gets enabled and on click of the push button, a pop-up
screen comes up.
3) After entering data on the pop-up screen, control should come back to the main screen and whatever
data the user has entered should get displayed.
4) Now say user has entered 7 rows of data by repeating the above process. Suddenly, the user wants to
see what he entered in the first row's pop-up, then the user has to press the first row's push button in order
to see what he had entered in the pop-up.
My Problem is with the 4th Point, how can I achieve this.
Challenges I am facing: Even though I am clicking the 5th row's push button, it is showing me the 1st row's
data.
The Pop-up screen's values should change row wise depending on the data.
Please help me out, this issue is eating me up.
Thanks

STO been included (considered) into Sales forecasting

Dear friends
Does anyone knows if is possible to make Stock Transport Order been considered at Sales Forecasting ?
We need not only Sales Order been there , but include quantities from STO too.
Best regards,
Ale

Dear,
Forecasting is calculated from past history.
Hence consumption to sales order is considered for forecast. If you want the STO data also to be considered for Sales forecast if you enable the movement type used for STO delivery. If you are looking for that please come back

Help needed with RA with Sales order scenario

Hello Gurus,
We are using SD-RR right now for our sales orders. We are facing difficulty with timing cost posting in that scenario and need your help with same.
When we do PGI cogs posting is done. RR usually happens at at later point of time after customer accepts the order. Out cost is booked before revenue recognition, which financially is bothering client. Client wants Cost and revenue recognized at same time.
I've heard that RA can be used with sales order item as cost collector. I want to understand how will it work functionally and what are the basic config elements.
If someone can explain step-by step I'd appreciate that very much.

Hi,
Follow the step
1) Create two user defiend Status for Sales order, one like X -Revenue & Cost to be recognised, and Y = ot to be recognised
2) Use Completed Contract Method in Expert more for Status Y and Revenue Based RA for Status X
3) Use Y as default Status in Sales Order. When you run RA, system will post costs to WIP and Revenue to Billing in Exess of Revenue. When ever you want to recognise revenue and Cost, change the status of the Sales Order as X, then Revenue based RA will be used.

Rijo Paul

Sales forecasting-updating opportunities with booked values

Hi,
we have a need where a user creates an opportunity for a large deal (say worth 6M USD) which will be realized over say 6 months. each month from the day the oppty is created say 1 MUSD worth orders will be created.
how do we incorporate this scenario in the monthly sales forecast. challenge here is that one opportunity will result into multiple orders each month. how will the sales forecast know that against the large deal of 6 MUSD, some amount is already realized/booked and it should subtract that amount from forecast report. need is to avoid double forecasting in such scenarios.
is there a standard report which takes care of such scenarios?
i am sure this is not a unique situation in almost all B2b sales this should be a need.
any pointers will be appreciated
thank you.

I referenced the post below.

it is not working for me. I don't understand the approach of using derived column to get rid of NULLs neither. Can you help?
Thank You Warmest Fanny Pied

EDI IDOC generation for interface with Vendor software help needed.

EDI IDOC help needed.
We are NOT an EDI shop, but have a project to output data to Sales Force.com
Sales Force requests IDOC output - eg. 810 Outbound Invoice.
We will need to do a historical load of Orders/Quotes/Invoices from the past 2 years.
Is there a function module or series of FM's that are used to generate the E2EDKxxxxx type segments?
I have been testing using the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP FM's, but they generate segments begining with E1EDKxxxxx.
Basicall we have a report program that the user enteres in the date range of Order/Quotes/Invoices they wish to extract, the the program needs to output a flat file (.txt) on the server which is then picked up by Sales Force.com.
Also, is there a way to have in the Partner Profile a generic Partner under the "Type KU" that can be used for all orders/invoices so I don't have to create a KU Partner Type for each and every Sold-To customer we have?
I am very new to EDI so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Scott.

Hi Scott,
We will need to do a historical load of Orders/Quotes/Invoices from the past 2 years.
I know it's very tempting to use an interface for such loads if you anyhow have to create one. However, often the volume alone speaks against interface usage for such scenarios.
Is there a function module or series of FM's that are used to generate the E2EDKxxxxx type segments? I have been testing using the IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC and IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP FM's, but they generate segments begining with E1EDKxxxxx.
Well, the E2* segments basically reflect the external name of the IDoc segment, whereas the function modules you're referring to basically just create an internal version of the IDoc. Once the IDoc framework then passes the IDocs to the partner, the segment names usually (depends on how the IDocs are passed on) get converted to their external name. If there are multiple versions of a segment, then the version number will be appended to the segment name.
Note that IDoc segment definitions are only partially stored in the data dictionary. If you want to see all versions you should always use transaction WE31 to look at segments. There you can also see for example for E1EDK01 the several versions and when you then use in SE37 function module SEGMENT_EXTERNAL_NAME_GET you will see what SAP produces as the external name for segment E1EDK01. This function module is basically the one that handles the segment name translations.
Ignore the comments for subsystem, this is basically an option in SAP to possibly trigger further external tools (e.g. mapping etc.) for handling the outbound IDocs.
Again, the funny thing is that via the WE30 transaction, if i put in INVOIC02 as the Obj. name and see the segments, i can see that E2EDK01 there is a version 005, but if i go to SE11 and put in E2EDK01005 structure line and i get a "not found". We just have up to E2EDK01002.
In the old days SAP used to generate E1, E2 and E3* structures in the data dictionary (SE11). The E1* structure reflected the character type representation of an IDoc segment, whereas the other two (definition and documentation) contained actual references to data elements (e.g. if you used a quantity field). However, in newer releases those dictionary structures (E2* & E3*) are no longer generated, because they're superfluous (meta data defined via WE31 is sufficient).
Cheers, harald

Using Sales Forecast packaged application

Hi, i wish to use the sales forecast packaged application but, trying with different users all the users see the same data, i mean the Sales Rep A see the selling cycle of Sales rep B. Since the manager is right to be able to look to Rep's opportunities this is not valid between Reps. Am I doing something wrong?
What is the best and fastest way to implement such controls?
Thank you in advance.
Maurizio

Hi Maurizio,
The sales forecasting app seems to be an overall view of sales and sales cycle, it doesn't restrict the data. It only restricts the Admin functions when you set at least one APEX user as admin.
You'll need to implement some sort of VPD (Virtual Private Database) policy to restrict data to each user.
You say that you "try with different users", how do you mean?
Have you set up Apex users as reps?
If you have, there will be no link to those users in the reps table in the database.
What you may have to do is set up a custom authorization and link it to the Reps table.
Search this forum and the Apex docs for "Custom Authorization" for help with this.
Your custom authorization will then have to link with the VPD.
See this link for VPD and other options
Re: Any ideas on restriciting users/groups of users to data
Hope this helps,
Gus..

Collaborative sales forecasting

Hi Experts,
Was trying to test collaborative sales forecasting , have done all the basic setting and have been able to release forecast to collaborative forecasting
but I have to test it and i dont want to run SPROXY to update customer baseline sales forecast
I want to update the same up using transaction /SCA/TSDMTEST
the time series type I am using is DFC01
but i have tried all the key figures and try setting them too
but key figure customer baseline sales forecast doesnt get updated with the values saved using TSDM
Please suggest me a way where i can update customer baseline sales forecast with out using XML messages of type ProductForecastNotification (PFN) or ProductForecastRevisionNotification (PFRN).
Regards
Manas Malhotra

Hi Manas M
You can manually do it in customer view
Create a internet user, assign him to Customer BP organisation and assign BP Org to location master of customer
Now access the below transaciton
/SCA/ICH_C - SNC - Customer View
Go to Sales Forecast Details - Product View (Customer)
There you can enter manually
Please remember, this is only for testing, You have to put to use, you need to edit the roles, and give only what screens a customer would like to use and to what extent
For now user roles mentioned in help link for customers
