SAP F&R:: Service Levels & Forecast Frequency

Hi, while modelling some user requirements, I have come to figure out some kind of a "dynamic" link between the service levels "determined" for a location-product and the forecast frequency assigned to the said location product. Please find my observations below.
OBSERVATION
1. To start with, I had assigned an experimental Service Level Profile with all Service Levels values set to 99.99%.
2. However I find that for location-products which have a weekly forecast frequency as compared to those with a daily frequency, the system automatically/ dynamically determines a service level of 91.00, which is a value that is not maintained in the service level profile.
How does the system do this? What is the link between the forecast frequency and the service levels determined?
Looking forward to some suggestions!
Vismay Jani.

hello,
you can define service levels for let's say different objects
- selling class
- ABC indicator
to simply the maintenance you can define a more "global/general" service level for each object.
the selling class is calculated/determined by each forecast calculation automatically. if the selling class changed an other service level will be considered by the next forecast calculation automatically.
there is definitively no difference between a daily and a weekly (or what ever) forecast frequency.

In the transaction related to PO select the path goto->header texts and then details of the texts like ID,objectname,language,name.Pass all theses details to 'READ_TEXT ' FM. Then you will get text lines described for a perticular Po ,similarly for item also.

Auto.Reorder point calculation based on service level-calculation incorrect

Hi
I have gone through all the postings pertaining to this topic.Still I am not getting the calculation steps despite of using the same proposed in many of the threads.
My calculation and system calculation as follows:
Service level maintain in MRP2 view was 99.8, so R factor must be 4.00 as per the chart given in sap help.
Planned delivery was 10 days. Material is externally procured. No GR processing time. Schedule margin key was also 000.
Forecast was executed for next 3 months based on past history of 12 months. (Moving average method).
Forecast values for 03.2010 = 140, 04.2010 = 140, 05.2010 = 140.
MAD calculated by system and shown while executing forecast in material master was 48. Safety stock calculated by system was 108 and re-order point was 157.
Since lead time is shorter than forecast period, SS = RWMAD = 4(10/31)48 = 61.94
W = Lead time in days/Forecast period in days.
LTC (Lead time consumption) = 140*10/31 = 45.16
ROP = SS + LTC (lead time consumption) = 61.94 + 45.16 = 107.
Where as system proposal was 157.
Kindly throw some light where is the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
It would be grateful if somebody throws light on the above scenario.

Determining service level offer for delivery date based on customer/materi

Hi,
we operate R/3 4.7 enterprise and are looking at a new requirement to present a service level offer at time of sales order input va01, drvin by customer number or group and the material number... For example customer 123456 orders two materials, ABC, ZXC... ABC has a proposed delivery date of today +2 while ZXC has +5 days, this would populate the "first date" ETDAT and then if not available schedule lines would be based on ATP scope of check. To further explain a second customer 654321 orders the same two materials, ABC and ZXC but this customer has a service level of today +4 days for ABC and +10 days for ZXC... I do not recollect in my experience such functionality in standard sap, perhaps with CRM? OR ABAP user exit?
Appreciate your thoughts and direction, perhaps siome one has developed a similar scenario or knows with greater experience that the solution is not in standard R3 4.7...
Thanks and look forward to your thoughts...
Craig

Hi,
When u creates sales order, system reserve material in c u r case
ABC = Today + 2 days
xyz = today + 5 days
Now another order come for same material then system automatically gives u next date if material is not availabe
ABC = Today + 4 days
XYZ = Today + 10 days
But if u have stock then this will not give u further dates,it will confirm as early as possible.

How to determine the real (effective) Service Level ov a material?

Hello Experts,
I have Service Levels of for example 92% or 98% for a material set up in the material master data ( MARC-LGRAD ). This shall mean in reality, that I can deliver in 92% or 98% of the cases the needed goods in the right quantity. Only in 8% or 2% of the cases I can not do that. Maybe I have nothing of that material in stock to deliver or I only have not enough of it.
The Service Level is one of the aspects affecting the reorder point and safety stock.
No I want determine for my materials what the "real" Service Level is based on maybe the deliveries?
Is there a standard report of SAP to check this? If not: does anyone has some hints for me how to code it myself?
Best Regards
Manfred

Hi Manfred,
This information is a bit tricky, becuase you don't always have it in the business process.
One of easy sources, is if you plan for sales, then you can see both what was ordered versus what was actually delivered.
But if you plan for internal consumption, lets say somebody goes to the store, and if the material is not there nothing is recorded in the system to testify for that.

Recreate SAP and database services in Windows

Hi!
I'm running my sandbox in a wmware enviroment and yesterday the C: partion got corrupted and I managed to "save" the other drives where the SAP and database are installed.
Is there any way to recreate the SAP and database services in another Windows installation? (manually or automatically)
That way I don't need to reinstall the whole system....and no there is no backup or snapshot since the system is not complete.
But if I get the database to start I should be able to do a backup and then do a new installation and import the backup!?
Thanks for any input
rollo

What is the database platform?
If it is SQL Server try attaching the data & log files to another instance SQL instance at the same release & patch level, if that works the database is intact so recovery should be possible.
From there rebuild your vmware box and treat the SAP install as though you are doing a 'system copy' so -
-Install & patch Win2003
-Install & patch SQL Server
-Install a 'blank' SAP Central Instance & update kernel
-Attach SQL database
-Use the SAP's SQL Migration tools to prepare DB & instance
-cross fingers & startsap
-make a backup
Check out http://servcie.sap.com/instguides for the System Copy guide that matches your release
If that helps please reward points
Cheers

IO Service Level versus Profit Analysis Simulation Set Service Level Change

R12 (RAC) Service Level versus Profit Analysis
Projected Service Level in Analysis workbench shows a strange negative quantity
when ussing Item Simulation Set in a plan.
The customer expects that when Service Level is changed in the item
simulation set, the system should use It.
But Target Service level still appears negative in the Analysis Workbench
Test Case:
Inventory Planner Responsibility.
Navigation: Inventory Plan > Name.
Look for an existing inventory Plan. Click on "Plan Options" Button.
Assign an Item simulation Set.
Save changes.
Close the "Plan Options" window.
From the "Inventory Plan Names" window push the "Launch Plan" Button.
When plan finished, navigate to: Analysis Workbench
Look for the plan, and review the showed value in the field projected Service Level.
They noticed that when they create an Item simulation Set, Original Service Level
field is not populated and they thought maybe It was part of the problem, so they
tried adding a value in the Service Level Field of the item simulation set.
However; it did not work.
They are expecting that if no change has been made to the service level in the Item simulation set, It should use the service level set in the Service Level set, used in the inventory Plan.

Hi Bruyneel,
I've solved the problem. I think while doing kernel or component upgrade SAP clear all configuration that connected from ABAP and JAVA. You can re-config from config tool.
1. Goto \usr\sap\<SID>\<SIst.Num>\j2ee\configtool and execute go.bat
2. cluster-data -> global server configuration -> services -> com.sap.security.core.ume.service.
3. Configure:
ume.login.guest_user.uniquefields with J2EE_GUEST, and make sure the user is already exist in ABAP
ume.persistence.data_source_configuration dataSourceConfiguration_abap.xml
ume.r3.connection.master.ashost
ume.r3.connection.master.client
ume.r3.connection.master.passwd : with SAPJSF user's password
ume.r3.connection.master.sysnr
ume.r3.connection.master.user : SAPJSF User

MRP 2 view - service level field

Hello colleagues.
Can anybody explain me what's the usage of the field "service level (%)" in the MRP 2 view of the material master ?
The SAP help does not help that much ...
Regards,
Fernando

Dear,
In MRP2 view thers is field service level % where you can define the percentage of present stock will be in safety stock.
hope it will works for u
Service level
Percentage specifying what proportion of the requirement is to be covered by the warehouse stock.
Use
The system uses the service level to calculate the safety stock.
The higher the service level, the higher will be the safety stock calculated by the system to compensate for additional consumption or delays in delivery.

Layout Service Level Report

Hi together,
does anyone know, how to change the Layout of the Office-Document the Service Level Reports generated by the Solutionmanager? I know how to change the Fooder and Header, but what do I have to do to change e.g. the SAP Logo to the Logo of my company? Is it possible to change the Word Master Document?
Does anyone know?
Best regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
You can customize the SLR front page.
You can customize the header and footer, and since the SAP Logo is part of the report header, you should be able to replace it with your company logo. Please visit this link for more details [Customizing SLR FrontPage|https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000598892010E].
Please check the PDF at this location because I beleive it fully answers your question.
You should specifically look at "2.2 Customizing Step by Step - 2.2.2 General Settings - Coverpage".

Service level% -- Confusion

Hi Guys,
I am working on service level %. I am using the MRP forecast type PV. Service level % is maintaibned and everytime the Forecast is executed, the safety stock is automatically updated in the material master.
Could you please explain me the formula/logic involved in this calculation??
for example if the forecast caluclates demand of 46%, and service lvel is mainntained to 55%. What would be the safety stock calculation logic
Sanjay

Hi,
Service level means, when the sales order comes, on what percentage you can cover the sales order requirement immediately, this is called service level.
when the service level % increases, your safety stock also will increase to cater the sales order requirement. When the service level % reduces, the safety stock also will reduce.

Service level agreement

what is meant by service level agreement in sap... i searched a lot but couldn't understand that...can any one explain clearly about this service level agreement..

Hi,
Service Level Agreements (SLAs), you work with customers to stipulate the form that the performance of a guaranteed service takes.
The SLAs define the attributes (such as content, scope and means) for the service products (for example, maintenance, Hotline) agreed on with the customer in the service contract. Different parameters, such as response time or availability time, confirm a SLA.
Examples of parameters within a SLA:
·         Response time (technician on site within a specified time)
·         Operating time/availability time (working time of the service or support center)
·         Downtime (maximum number of breakdowns per year)
·         Availability (assured system availability in %)
·         Solution time (maximum period of time allowed for the solution of a problems

How to maintain service level agreements with vendors in SAP ? Can we use cotracts for this ?

Hi,
Yes you can use contract to maintain service level agreements with Vendor.
During creation of the service contract (T.code: ME31K) select item category D (Service) in the item overview screen and maintain the service details (Service number, Quantity and price).
Then whenever you need service then you can use this contract and release the contract using ME21N (PO) screen.

Service Agreement and Service Level Agreement

Hi
Can anyone provide me a copy of Service agreement and Service level agreement which can used between sap partner and a customer.
I am doing my first implementation in SAP B1 and i want to make this agreement with my customer before i start implementing the software.
I searched the portal but couldnt locate it.
Thanks and Regards
C.Louis

Hi,
I think the first agreement document is EULA (end user license agreement). The second is your request.
I think you can ask the sample of the agreement to SAP branch in your country. if not, let me know your e-mail.
