Short, medium and long term planning in SNP

Hi,
      can somebody explain me what Short, medium and long term planning mean in SNP?
Lets, say I have this scenario:
If I have a product with SNP horizon of 35 days, which means that the product is planned in SNP only after 35 days from today.  Only PPDs deals with orders in these 35 days.
I have a 3 planning books
short term with 30 days from today
medium term with 7 months from today and
long term with 2 years from today.
When I say short, medium and long term planning in SNP what exactly happens in these ?? What do users usually do in these books?
SNP horizon is 35 days and the short term book is 30 days long, in which SNP does nothing. What's the use of this book?
Thanks.

When I say short, medium and long term planning in SNP what exactly happens in these ??
Nothing much from a technical stand point.
What do users usually do in these books?
Check the Time Bucket Profile for the different books. The short Term Book will be in days, the mid term in weeks and the long term in months/quarters etc. The different books allows users to see the keyfigures in different time-based aggregate level.
But if Heuristic is executed then behaviour will be different. Remember SNP Location Heuristic run uses the bucket of the data view to compute the Net Requirement and then try creating Receipts in each bucket within the time horizon of the data view using suitable master data. So if you run Location Heuristic in the short Term (daily) view then you will have many receipts one per day most likely. If you run in mid-term Weekly view then there are less number of receipts one receipt per week till 7 months. likewise for the long term view.
SNP horizon is 35 days and the short term book is 30 days long, in which SNP does nothing. What's the use of this book?
Maybe just to see the data. Location Heuristic run will not generate any new receipt.
Thanks,
Somnath

  • Short, medium and long descriptions in BPC

    Hi all,
    I must have 3 types of descriptions in BPC members, short, medium and long.
    The only way to achieve this is using properties for two of them, or is there any other option?
    Many thanks in advance,
    JA

    Hello Ja,
    "The only way to achieve this is using properties for two of them, or is there any other option?"
    I don't understand what this mean... ?
    any how, If you are taking about master data loading from BW, then we have an option to choose description whether it is short, medium, long..
    while running the DM package in the set selection go to language tab. for reference see the below image...

  • Display short, medium, and long text in a query

    Hi all, we have a requirement to display the short, medium, and long text of an info-object in our queries.  Currently, it seems that you can only select one text lenght at a time but not all three of them together.  Aside from creating texts as attributes, is there a way to display all of the texts of an info-object?
    For example, we have internal orders with 3 texts.  When we run the query, we need to see the order number, then the short text, medium text, and long text.  Is this possible?
    thanks
    Kory Squire

    yeah you are right, we can get all the texts as attributes. Other than that you can only get any one of them.

  • Sap mm md04 and ms04 stock requirement and long term planning issue

    Hi guru's,
    i have one issue regarding MD04 and MS04. in MD04 3 storage locations were showing. in that the stock in 2 storage locations was excluded due to no long term plan.
    now if we see in ms04, these 2 storage locations are not appearing. now my logistics manager wants to maintain the long term planning for these two also.
    in md04,,, 3 storage locations available ..same like ms04 should follow
    provide the solution as soon as possible
    Thanks & Regards
    Prasad.

    Mukesh,
    To change the forecast from occuring at start of period ( month) you can always select the Schedule line Tab in MD61,MD62. then select period indicator as Day format as shown below
    Per. Ind          Date              Qty
    D     17.05.2010     30
    D     15.06.2010     40
    D     15.07.2010     50
    System will then plan PIR (forcast) based on dates assigned by user instead of being placed on the first day
    of the period. This will prevent forcast to fall into the previous month. Also it will resolve the capacity issue you are facing.
    If you have more questions please come back.
    thanks,

  • Showing short , medium and long texts together

    Hi,
    I have 0material and have navigational attribute -subdivision.
    I need subdivision to be seen in the report as following
    <b>KEY | TEXT SHORT | TEXT LONG</b>
    is there a way to show those together in Reporting?
    I know i can show KEY- SHORT TEXT or KEY-LONG TEXT but they are not useful for me.
    Regards
    Mete

    Hi Mete,
    you need to add the subdivision as infoprovider. Create a infosource just for subdivision and short and long text. Assign the text datasource to that infosource. Add 0txtsh and 0txtlg as attributes to the subdivision. Create a update rule from your new infosource to subdivision and update the subdivision and txtsh and txslg. But here you need to concentrate on just one language. Additonally post that new infosource to the texts as well providing the language key as well.

  • Use Reorder Point Planning and see VSE Requirements in Long Term Planning

    Hello,
    I would like to use reorder point planning short term and something similar to MRP planning long term. I am trying to drive actual production off of consumption and plan long term for capacity, inventory and BOM components.  Our plan is to delete the near term forecast and leave the long term forecast in to show requirements for LTP.
    I'm configured for Reorder Point Planning as follows:
    MRP type V1, Reorder Point Planning with External Requirements
    Planning Strategy 52
    HB Max Stock Level
    For the longer term forecast requirements I'm configured with:
    Independent Requirement Type VSE, Planning without final assembly.  This is creating non convertible planned order independent requirements.
    The reorder point planning is executing perfectly, but how do I get the VSE planned order independent requirements to show up in long term capacity and inventory planning? What am I missing?  Is it something with MRP type, am I missing an option in the long term planning setup?
    This has been a tough issue and I would greatly appreciate any advice on this.
    Thank you,
    Wes

    HI
    check the planning scenario in MS31 and the PIR assignment in MS31 also check the plant assignement.
    Check In MD61 you have enter PIRs in simulation version and the same version is to assigned in planning scenario
    Also check T code OPU5 for LTP setting for planned orders

  • Capacity requirement for long term planning and make to order planning

    hello,
    anybody please guide me.
    my client using make to order scenarion and we are doing regulaly MRP run is MD50 with refernce to sales order.
    sales orders planning will follow for 2 to 3 months.
    at the same time my client wants to do long term planning also. to analize the capacity.
    for that he is creatind planning scenario and multi level planning with MS02 also.
    But the problem is when they are checking capacity requirement in cm38 it is showing only planning scenario load only. my client wants existing load and longterm planning load also. so they can plan the planning is sutibale in existing plan.
    so how can i get both plan in CM 38or is there any other T.code to get that data.
    please suggest me
    Thanks & Regards
    Bhakta

    Hi Pierre and Rajesh,
    When we create the simulation version, you have the possibility to choose the short-term planning. My point of view is, you can use the LTP fonction to do your scheduling for ex the next 3 months.
    I think it's what Pierre did. Am I right ?
    between to scheduling scenario to deliver my customer. With the simulation mode I can do my scheduling + use the MRP simulation to check if the raw material are available or not. Then use the MD04 to do the comparaison (or MS04 to compare between 2 scenario).
    But I found 2 problems :
    First : I don't find the parameters to show in the graphic MFS0, the planed fix order (I can only see the process order)
    Second : When my scheduling is finished, I want to update my operational planning with the simulation version. But I don't want to do article by article : when you have 400 references (raw mat, packaging, finish goods)  it's impossible (same issue like Pierre)
    Have you found a solution for this 2 points ?

  • Vendor's long term plans regarding actualizations

    Hi,
    Possibly we will decide in 2014 to purchase MBP.
    It will be than the first Apple's product in our environment.
    If it should run that way we expect to use the mbp for approximately
    next 10 years.
    How does the Apple's current long term plans conform with the above target
    regarding actualizations (bug fixes, security patches) for
    OS and all other on-board software of mbp version currently in sell?

    Oh, and the medium I want to use needs to scale high. Very high. Into the order of more than a decent amount of TBs... like, say, 40 or 50. Of course that nice, round figure wouldn't pop up out of nowhere the day I have my plans in order, it'd grow - slowly - over time. So not only do I need something scalable, I need something that can scale slowly.
    So kinda like a NAS or external HDD type of solution, except one that doesn't use failure-prone media like HDDs. Unless there's a kind of hard disk out there that doesn't fail very "easily" and lasts in an order of years?

    I believe there is nothing that exists in the world, unless you pay huge money for Solid State Hard Drives. The only solution I see is using a bunch of rewritable double layer Blu-ray discs. I don't think there is any proper solution for what your looking for. Your looking for the perfect that doesn't exist.
    I'm not sure how long SSDs will last and I don't think there is any reliable information out there, wether an SSD I plugin now will still work in ten years. Plus you would need one hell of a lot SSDs to store Terabytes of data. BlueRay is probably worse than DVD regarding reliability, until the manufacturers get more experience with them.
    Am I the only one to see a pattern with dav7 opening threads looking for things which don't exist?

  • Long Term Planning-Planning File Entry

    Hi Gurus/Friends
    In the long term planning after PIR with inactive version and creating Scenario, assinging versions, Plants,....then
    during Release+Save it is giving the Result of Planning File Entries
    Logically the system has suppose to give the Number of Planning File Entries in Propotionate to the Specific Planning Scenario number and materials inside
    But it is giving for all the Materials inside the Plant
    Is there any settings to restrict the Planning File Entry creation w.r.t Planning scenario during Release+Save
    other than the solutions through Transaction MS20,MS22 and MSAB
    (Because during Release+save logically it has to call the MS22 t.code  and do planning file entries for the materials in that scenario)
    Awaiting for reply
    thanks
    K.Prabakaran

    Hi,
    Please Refer Below SAP help .
    *Releasing a planning scenario*
    You first have to release a planning scenario before you can plan it in the long-term planning run. When you release the planning scenario, the system creates planning file entries for all materials in all the plants allocated to the planning scenario. There is a separate planning file entry for this purpose. This guarantees that your operative planning is kept completely separate from your simulative planning. This long-term planning file contains all the materials that are also contained in the operative planning file. After the release, every change relevant to MRP triggers an entry in the planning file as in operative planning.

  • Excluding storage location from MRP run in Long Term Planning

    Hi,friends,
         In my scenario , i want to exclude storage location from MRP run in long term planning.When i set storage location MRP indicator "2" in SPRO and SLoc MRP indicator "1" MRP4 in material master, i can exclude the storage location after run MRP with MD01/MD02,and i can see the expected result in MD04.But in Long Term Planning scenario the storage location can not be excluded after run MRP with MS01/MS02,and the requirements list in MS04 include the stock in the storage location i want to exclude. i dont know if i miss something.Plz give me some advice.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Refer the OSS Note 208017 - LTP: Long-term planning and storage locations
    ==========================================================================
    Symptom
    In long-term planning (Transactions MSBT / MS01 / MS02 / MS03), the MRP indicator of a storage location for a material is not taken into account (material master, view MRP 2 [up to and including Release 3.1I] or MRP 4 [as of Release 4.0A]).
    The storage locations excluded by MRP or planned separately are also planned in the plant segment.
    Additional key words
    LTP, MM01, MM02, MM03, master data, MRP indicator, LGORT ...
    Cause and prerequisites
    The MRP indicator for a certain storage location of a material is only taken into account in operative planning (requirements planning, MRP).
    The long-term planning occurs exclusively at plant level.
    Solution
    This is no error. The system works as intended.
    The individual storage locations should not be distinguished in the long-term planning, in order to perform a comprehensive long-term planning.
    This is important, for example, within the kanban processing where the storage locations with kanban MRP are excluded from the MRP, but in spite of that should be included in the long-term planning.
    ==========================================================================

  • Extracting LTP (Long Term Planning) Data from SAP ECC to SAP BW

    Hello all
    Here is the task in hand. There is a standard report that Production Planners execute post their MRP/LTP runs. This report can be accessed through T-code "MCB)". The program in action is RMCB1200. I tried looking for any standard extractors but to no avail. I would be fine to know either or both of the following:
    An extractor
    All the primary tables involved ( I have found a few tables through the program but a list by some expert will help me understand that I have not missed anything significant)
    Also, if anyone has done this before, how was your experience with the extraction in terms of extraction volume and performance.
    Regards
    Gajendra

    After further digging, here is some information that I found out.
    T-code
    Program
    BADI
    MSEX
    RMDMRPEXTRACT02
    MD_SR_LIST_EXTRACT
    This could possibly provide the data required. The program can be scheduled and the output can be managed by SPRO settings for Extraction Mode. I am running tests to confirm if it provides me the correct information and matches with MCB) output.
    Here are some tables, just for reference:
    LTP Tables: PLSC, PBHI, PLPT, MDTP, PLPR, PLPB
    MRP Records:

  • How to get the medium and long text for PRODUCT HIERARCHY?

    hi experts,
    i am using data source called 0prod_hier_text. in ECC there is description for medium and long.
    but in BW it is mapped to 0TXTSH which is short text, and in the transformations medium text is mapped to short text of BW (0TXTSH) which is having length only 20.
    IF it exceeds more than 20 it is now showing.
    so how to get  add 0TXTMD which is medium text so that i can see the description for MEDIUM.
    i did try to add  to 0PROD_HIER but i cannot add.
    i need to show medium text description in the Report.
    plz provide me the input.

  • How to consider the Purchase Orders in Long Term Planning

    Hi All,
    I wanted to include the Purchase Orders of Finished Material in Long Term Planning.

  • Implementing Long-Term Planning

    Dear Guys,
    Is that possible to implement Long-Term Planning (LTP) in SAP when there is no SOP module in the system. Would you please inform me the basic requirements or basic setup to implement LTP in SAP system.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Payam,
    This is always recommended to implement LTP if you have long lead times for some procured parts, bottle necks in capacities for work centers and most important to plan about budget required for the production of those parts.
    The above things you cannot check with STP/MTP and perform changes after the STP/MTP runs. But this you can do with LTP with diffrent scenarios and compare it till you satisfy.
    You can do the precosting of the parts and check what would be your future costing and plant budget.
    You can transfer the requireemnst of the critical parts to vendors well in advance after LTP run and before running the actual planning for the entire year, so the vendors will be well prepared to supply you the parts.
    You can also checks the capacities required for the production before the STP run.
    If this is OK then please close this thread.
    Regards

  • Long-Term Planning (PP-MP-LTP)

    Do you know BI content for Long-Term Planning (PP-MP-LTP)?

    Not that I know.
    Often business people actually mean SOP (BC: 0SOP_PLANNING) when talking about long-term planning. I don't see any point in reporting LTP that is more like alternative MRP scenarios. It is operational and different scenarios easily get confusing in reporting.
