SAP Forecast & Replenishment flat forecast (plain)

Hi,
I am currently configuring SAP F&R (Forecast & Replenishment) and I've found that it doesn't matter which is the configuration of any of our product / locations and we will always find a flat forecast after FR Processor run.
The forecast will take in consideration the DIFs so it will show the spikes, but no consumption fluctuations will be shown when the forecast is weekly displayed during a non-DIF period. The dayweights are dynamically calculated since the daily-forecast output reflects different values (only weekly forecast is constant).
If anyone had this problem or can give me any indications about how could it be resolved I would really appreciate it.
Kind regards,
Xavi

Hi Xavi.
I am configuring SAP F&R 4.1 too. I am not sure about your problem but the flat forecast after FR Processor could be because your time serie data (consumption values) are very constants (similar values). On the other hand what Replenishment Type do you have selected in F&R Mass Maintainance for Location / Product?.
In my case I have a problem with automatic order proposals release since I don't get the automatic release. I use Replenishment Type 11 and I have the profiles with large restrecitions to avoid the exception cases. I get forcasting and automatic order proposals but no automatic release. The system generates this message exception: (High Priority) Exception-based release check enforces manual release for order prop. 0000000179.
If anyone had this problem or can give me any indications about how could it be resolved I would really appreciate it.
We could get more working together.
Best regards.
Alberto.

Book on SAP Forecasting & Replenishment (SAP F&R)

Hi,
Is any book available on SAP Forecasting & Replenishment (SCM part of SAP Retail) which covers processes in detail with example.
Thanks.

Hi
To be honest, we don´t find consultant as well as project regarding SAP F&R, Due to which we always limited with F&R knowledge. You can find some basic information below.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/137256373/SAP-Forecasting-and-Replenishment-for-Retail-A-short-Overview#scribd
The best would be you should apply for SAP Training which could be offered online or personally.
In our case , we opted for Online training which was good to get F&R overview as well as some good slides.
With this information, I am sure you can explore by yourself. Please find below the links for training.

PO Workflow with Forecasting & Replenishment

There have been a number of posts about PO workflows either not triggering or triggering multiple times after implementing SAP Notes 764521 and 797775. I have also activated all the linkages mentioned in SAP Notes 595732 and 597784.
BUS2012-releasestepcreated event is triggering wo times
However, it seems like most people have just deleted the BUS2012.ReleaseStepCreated line in SWEC and it has worked.
Has anybody done this in conjunction with SAP Forecasting & Replenishment? If so, can you answer any of these questions, because they are driving me mad!
1. What do I use to trigger my workflow now? Should I delegate FREBUS2012 to BUS2012 and use the new BUS2012.Created event to trigger my copy of WS20000075?
2. If I am going to delegate FREBUS2012 to BUS2012 and I want to extend BUS2012, do I need to create a subtype of FREBUS2012?
3. When I make a significant change, all I'm getting is a BUS2012.Changed event, not a SignificantlyChanged event. Do I need to create an entry for this in SWEC?
4. Have I already gone mental?
Any kind of guidance here would be great.
Thanks a lot

Hi Lyal Schumann,
After seeing into the system i found something, i think it may solve your problem, but i am not sure. Try this.
1.What do I use to trigger my workflow now? Should I delegate FREBUS2012 to BUS2012 and use the new BUS2012.Created event to trigger my copy of WS20000075?
 In both the business object there is a event called created so use this event to trigger your workflow. " If you see FREBUS2012 it has said that it is subtype of BUS2012 so there is no need to delegate this again.
2. If I am going to delegate FREBUS2012 to BUS2012 and I want to extend BUS2012, do I need to create a subtype of FREBUS2012?
 It depends, if you want to enhance the business object you have to create a subtype of FREBUS2012. But i dont think so it is required.
3.When I make a significant change, all I'm getting is a BUS2012.Changed event, not a SignificantlyChanged event. Do I need to create an entry for this in SWEC?
It is required to create a entry in SWEC for the significantlyChanged event
4.Have I already gone mental?
 I dont know that. Just for joke.

Difference between SAP/APO/DP and the SAP/CRM solution for forecasting

Hi,
Can you please help me identifying the main differences between SAP/APO/DP and the SAP/CRM solution for forecasting? Advantages and disadvantages?
Thanks a lot

Hi LCD777,
Forecasting at DP & CRM are altogether at different entities. CRM involves webbased data transfer mechanism tool whereas DP is database/livecache driven tool.
In CRM, you dont get optimised solution of forecasting out of it whereas in DP you can get as much as
optimised solution & flexibility as per your requirements.
DP is majorly a forecasting tool where in huge statistical method functionalities are embedded in
whereas CRM is majorly a transactional tool wherein it involves gathering of forecast data and executing it.
Typically, CRM will be integrated with DP containing GATP environment & ECC so that DP will plan for forecast data, ECC system drives sales order data & GATP calls for availability check and finally
the forecast execution& transactions will be controlled by CRM

Interested in bringing Past Due forecast from MRP Forecast Sets to ASCP

We are on 12.1.3 (EBS and ASCP) and are interested in bringing a week of past due forecast from MRP Forecast set into ASCP. We are running EDD plan.
Following have been enabled but no luck yet, open to suggestions or explanations.
1. Include Past Due Forecast = 5
2. Spread Forecast Evenly = checked (as we are in weekly buckets)
3. Demand Time Fence control = checked on plan options
4. Item are enabled for Demand Time Fence days = 0
5. Complete Collections and Plan have been ran.
Observation - Since the week start date is on Monday, when the plan ran from Tuesday, it brings the forecast for current week from Tuesday of that week onwards breaking into days. But it doesn't bring in forecast for Monday or prior week days.
Per ASCP guide, Include Past Due Forecast is useful only in case of Oracle Demand Planning.
Any help in this regards is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is the Advanced Collections Financial community. I believe you are looking for a Manufacturing community.

Which table can we see consumption and forecast values in forecast based planning

Dear SAP Gurus,
I am working on implementing forecast based planning for Spare parts for my client. They have one Main Plant which do purchase of Spare Parts and through Stock transfers moved to 60+ Plants from where Spares are being sold.
Now I am carrying out SAP trial runs for a set of 160+ materials with various models and want to compare with their existing methodology of requirement calculation.
I want to compile Consumption and Forecast data month wise for these trial materials (160+ materials in 60 Plants) . One way I thought is to go individual Material Master and looks for values in Forecast view. However it is tedious and time consuming.
The table name shows RMCP2 and RM03M for forecast and Cons values, but I could not find the table.
Hence I want to know which table if I can view I can get the consumption and forecast data calculated for quick copying and compilation.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Dear Mariano,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Like I could able to get the consumption values for materials using table MVER and fields GSV01,GSV02 etc.,
What field I need refer in table PROP for getting forecast values.
As such I could not see any column where in data are similar to Forecast view.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Velmurugan.

Forecasting: Different customer forecasts under one material

I am currently provided with customer forecasts which are used in planning and I input on our SAP system using T.Code MD61 create or MD62 change.
Right now, if two different customers give forecasts for the same Item code they are added together in the forecast.
e.g.
Customer
Item Code
Jan-14
Feb-14
Customer 1&2
Item1
7000
7000
Right now there seems to be no way to keep forecasts for different customers on different lines once one line is active.
How can I set the forecast to look like below?
Customer
Item Code
Jan-14
Feb-14
Customer 1
Item1
5000
5000
Customer 2
Item1
2000
2000

Hi GM,
Post this discussion under SAP ERP Manufacturing - Production Planning (SAP PP)
In MD61 demand is maintained against the material not againt the customer. If you want to maintain the demand and identify the demand specific to customer then use strategy 50 for the FERT material. In that case entire demand eg 7000 can be mantained in MD61. Sales order can be created seperately for customer 1 5000 qty and customer 2 2000 qty. On MD04 screen you can see the customer specfic demand qty which you can convert partially to poduction as required. Incase of strategy 50 once sales order is created then only convertable planned order against the sales order demand gets created upon MRP run. Production will be order based.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramagiri

APO DP Composite forecast and expost forecast

Hi every body
We want to use composite with standard mode with automatic correction of history by outlier. Univariates are univariates strategy 13 with moving average. It should be possible since I have seen doc explaining that we can store expost forecast for composite in a keyfigure
In composite profile, we do not have the flag for outlier. So I maintained it in the univariates of the composite.
I got no effect
I am not sure of the place where to maintain the keyfigure for expost forecast for composite. I maintained the usual forecasting setting in the planning area with the field for forecast, corrected history, corrected forecast, expost forecast. But with composite, is there an other place since I did not got result ?
Kind regards,

no ext post forecast with planning strategies 13 and 14

Statistical Forecast Models Using Forecast Assignment Table

Hello all. I need some help.
I am trying to setup a background process to execute Statistical Forecasts in background using the models stored in the table /SAPAPO/DP_FCST2
Can anybody offer advice with regards the best approach.
Is there a specific Forecast Strategy or User Exit that should be used?
Thanks

Hello Christopher
Control Parameter in the activity needs to be setup correctly.
Additionally please refer this old thread
Forecasting interactively and background in DP
Just want to add some additional information on this topic -
In Planning Book, Goto Settings => Forecast Profile => Assignments: There are three options available -
1) Save assignment of selection for forecast profile - This allows users to save changes to original forecast profile
2) Save assignment with unique forecast profile - (this allows for the planner to fine tune a model but then save it to a unique GUID instead of over-writing the original profile itself. Typically, DP Planner are expected to use this option.
3) Do not save assignment and forecast profiles - This also allows users to over-write the original forecast profile settings without saving the assignment
Additionally if this /SAPAPO/FCST_GUIDS parameter is set to “X” then it will result into system saving any forecast profile changes as a unique forecast profile(GUID based).
Also when generating the forecasting (using option#2 above )interactively, it is important to use same planning levels(selection id) as defined in aggregation levels in background job.
Hope this will help.
Thank you

ASCP engine does forecast spreading or forecast consumption first?

We are using Demantra for forecasting in Monthly bucket.Say for March 2011, forecast is 2300 qty.
And we have a sales orders 1 for 200 qty on 1st March 2011.
Planning Bucket is daily for 6 months with 5 days working. So for march we have 23 working days.
I think ASCP will first convert Forecasting bucket to Planning bucket, which means each working day will have forecast of 100 qty. ( Forecast Spreading)
Then Sales order of 200 qty will be consume by forecast on March-1,2011 ( Forecast Consumption)
If I check Consume forecast by Bucket then on 1st March, I will have 100 qty sales order and 100 qty forecast.
If I uncheck the above option in plan then based on consumption days it will work.
Our requirement, is first forecast consumption should happen before forecast spreading? How can we achieve this.
So really, Sales order on 1st March for 200 qty should be consumed against 2300 qty for March month, and then 2100 should be spread to 23 working days, Is it possible?

Hi Sandeep,
Thanks for pointing me to the section.
One solution can be the forecasting and planning bucket to be same, periodic. In this the forecast consumption will happen correctly, no issue and within the bucket. But the issue will be the ASCP will recommend planned orders on the last day of the period, which won't work. We want the planning & supply in daily bucket.
If we have forecasting bucket monthly and planning bucket daliy than every day when we run the plan we have to update the forward and backward days so that consumption can happen exactly the same month.
So I am currect with the understanding that forecast spreading happen first and then consumption.
Thanks
