SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization, Demand Planning Add-In for Microsoft Excel 1.0

Does anyone know if the DP Add-in for Microsoft Excel is doing well. How does it pull/push data on the DP tool? Is it fast, and is it a free add-in ?

Hi Satish
As you know business always loves to work in excel and if we offer this possibility they are going to appreciate it very much.
We have already perform PoC for the excel frontend in out business scenario and looks really positive. At the same time, I will also say that there is still big room for improvement for SAP. SAP is already coming with better excel front end but only with IBM demand solution.
so going back to our topic, I would say surely you should go for it. It would be really great if you have data view with less or minimum key figures should be exported to excel where business require to update or maintain key figures. If I am correct, I think you are unable to use it for aggregate forecasting or you have default macro´s to be execute immediately.
In summary, it´s worth to explore the option to see if it works for your business. I am sure business users will be very much happy with this.
Please let me know if this information helps you.
Thanks

  • Not able to download S&OP Add-In for Microsoft Excel

    Hello Folks,
    I have been trying  to download the  S&OP Add-In for Microsoft Excel but its not just getting downloaded. I am not able to see the S&OP in the excel ribbon. Any help would be appreciated. Let know if any info is needed from my end.
    Thanks

    Dear Karan
    1) generally, under the following link you will always find the newest available add-on:
    https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=00200682500000001943&_EVENT=DISPHIER&HEADER=Y&FUNCTIONBAR=N&EVENT=TREE&NE=NAVIGATE&ENR=67837800100900008464&V=MAINT
    --> Comprised Software Component Versions --> SAP SOP EXCEL ADD-ON 3.0 --> # OS independent
    2) As there are new Add-on's several times a year, you should efford to check with your administrators that you get the required authorizations, or that they provide always the latest version to you with other means, e.g. by putting the file in the company - internal "shopping-basket"
    3) When installing was successfully, but you dont get it displayed, than go to Excel (I have Excel 10, so the path might be slightly different for you)
    --> ribbon "file"
    --> "Option"
    ==> you get a new window, here:
    On the left choose "Add-Ins"
    --> than on the right side bottom-left you will find "Manage"
    --> choose "COM-Add-Ins" and press "Go..."
    ==> you get a new little window popped up. Here your "S&OP Add-In for Excel" should appear and flagged :
    If that does not appear, you installatoin was not successful and you have to repeat
    Good luck

  • TDM Excel Add-In for Microsoft Excel will not install: Installation Summary No software will be installed or removed.

    Hello,
    My7 computer is running Windows 7, I have the Base installation of LabVIEW, and have Microsoft Office 2007 installed.
    I have downloaded the Add-In for Microsoft Excel from:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2944
    unzipped it successfully (66 files created)
    searched for messages and updates  (No notifications.)
    and I get a screen reading:

       Review the following summary before continuing.
    Installation Summary
       No software will be installed or removed.
    The "Next" button is grayed out, leaving "Save File" "<<Back" and "Cancel"
    Does anyone have a suggestion why I am unable to go any further?
    Thank you,
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you sure it hasn't been installed before? Under Control Panel...Programs and Features...National Instruments Software...do a "Change/Remove" and look down the list for "NI TDM Excel Add-In verX.XX". If found, uninstall and re-run the installer for the newest version.
    This might help as well.

  • Pros and cons Demand Planning in APO or ECC

    Hello,
    is there a paper/pdf out there describing the pros and cons of DP in APO and ECC. We are planning to implement demand planning and are in an evaluation face whether to go with an APO solution or not. The financial aspect is not an issue. We already have the licensing in place for APO and ECC.
    Which solution provides better flexibility and usability? Have any of you guys got experience with implementing demand planning in a non-manufacturing orgnisation. That is we are looking for a tool to forecast/plan external and internal procurement.
    Any suggestions are  welcome.

    Hi ,
    Definitely APO DP have many advantage over ECC. 
    => More Flexibility than ECC demand management
    => Complex statistical tool can be used for forecasting
    => Complex macros can be build as per the business need
    => Easy visilbility & maintenance of the data
    => Advance Demand planning functionalities like Promotional planning, LCM, Management decisions, etc can be incorporated easily.
    Also refer the details provided in the below thread for more details:

    I have a Adobe CC Photography plan and I would like to Upgrade for the Complete plan, What should I do? my account is Brazilian

    Adobe only sell the latest version of Creative Suite which is CS6 so you can't buy CS5 anymore. Upgrades are also only available from CS5 to CS6 so CS3 wouldn't qualify anyway.
    I'm afraid you are out of luck.

  • Activity dependant planning and Activity independent planning

    Hello gurus,
                     Can anyone please explain the difference between the Activity Dependant Planning and Activity Independant Planning with some examples
    thanks
    rihana
    Please, search Web

    Hi Rihana,
    Activity indipendent planning : Activity-independent cost planning covers both primary and secondary costs, but does not refer to a specific activity type.  Eg : internal and external distribution
    Activity-dependent planning : Activity-dependent planning of primary and secondary costs, on the other hand, enables you to plan both fixed and variable costs. You may require this functionality if your costing system uses flexible standard costing based on marginal costs. In this release you can carry out flexible standard costing based on full costs.
    This means fixed costs are used to calculate the cost rates and are in effect converted to variable costs.

  • Recieveing "OnUCAppointmentGetVisible" error in Outlook 2013 (64 bit) - "Custom UI Runtime Error in Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013"

    Hi All,
    I originally posted this in the MS Support forums (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-outlook/recieveing-onucappointmentgetvisible-error-in/1a40eca2-8cd1-40f1-a92f-cb08f0af6b72), but was directed over here.
    I have recently upgraded an installation of Office 2010 to 2013 (both 64 bit) but am now receiving an error which says:
    Window Title - "Custom UI Runtime Error in Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013"
    An error occured while calling the callback: "OnUCAppointmentGetVisible"
    This seem to happen when I initially open a calender entry, and when I close the entry (most only the first time I close the entry).
    I did have some developer tools installed for Office 2010 and VS 2010 which played around with Excel,2013 but I have now uninstalled these.
    In addition, BCM 2010 was installed (but for the time being has been uninstalled), but I don't think that is the culprit.
    The issue is being caused be an Outlook add-in. I have three COM add-in enabled, but the one causing the issue in the "Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013".
    We are currently trialling Lync in a demo installation which is in a different domain to any of the Exchange accounts, but should this cause a problem? For the time being I have disable this add-in.
    Regards,
    Chris
    Chris

    Hi,
    Sorry for my misunderstanding. If the issue is determined to be caused by Lync Meeting Add-in, please remove this add-in from Outlook, then go to Control Panel to repair Office 2013 program. After repairing,
     this add-in would be automatically reinstalled. Please check whether the issue persists. About how to repair Office programs, please refer to:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
    If the Lync Meeting Add-in is not automatically reinstalled, please try to manually add this add-in by the following steps:
    1. Starting Outlook 2013 as an Administrator (right click, run as Admin).
    2. Click File > Options > Add-ins, Manage Com Add-Ins Go... > Add..., C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\UCAddin.dll, OK.
    3. Close Outlook and start it as a normal user.
