Short term and Long-term inspection and characteristic

Hi all,
In the SAP portal, they mentioned about Long-Term Inspection with Long-Term Characteristic, and Short-Term Inspectoin with Short-Term Characteristic.
May I know what is the usage on the above and how to setup in the system?
Thanks
YY

Long Term Characteristics Indicator is marked in the Control Indicators Tab of an MIC.
Long Term Inspection is used when the Business Requirement is to do Results Recording after Usage Decision.
In normal circumstances, i.e. Short Term Inspection, system won't allow us to do RR once UD is given.
Best Regards,
K. Raghavendra Nayak

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

DPM 2010 Short and Long Term goals

My question is related to size restrictions.
Our existing DPM 2010 is setup with two protections groups, System State, and a Default (file) protection group. Both are set up the same. A co worker recently had to re-create a protection group due to his negligence and deleted it without looking at how
it was setup in the first place, since then I've been having errors in backing up to tape:
Synchronization frequency is set to just before recovery point
Short term goals are:
Recovery points are at 8:00 AM, 12:00PM, 6:00PM Everyday, Express Full is 8:00PM Everyday
Long term goals are:
Retention range 2 weeks, Frequency Weekly (1 recovery point every 1 week for the last 2 weeks)
Full backups are set to Saturday at 11:00 PM
Here's the thing, we have 3x3TB external drives that, historically have been swapped out weekly (Monday mornings, using Firestreamer for tape emulation). Since the co-worker broke, and re-created the protection groups, when we view DPM Console on Monday
morning, we see that the backup jobs are failing, the 3TB drive is full.
Could this 3TB drive be full due to this weekly swapping out when it is set to a retention range of 2 weeks? Obviously, it could be because the protection group actually contains that much data, but I'm trying to wrap my head around sync frequency, recovery
points and how that works into recovery goals.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Right. After the registry key is added, all new recovery points written to tape will show they expire at midnight (12:00am) on they day they expire so any tape jobs that run later that day will be able to use that tape after the expiry
date.
To prevent tape jobs from failing because there are no tapes available, you can also add this registry value.
During a new tape backup or if a tape becomes full and there are no other tapes marked free, Free (contains data) or expired in the library, DPM will raise an alert to prompt for another free tape to continue backup. The same is true during a
restore, if the needed tape is not in the library an alert will be raised. By Default, DPM It will wait for
1 hour before failing the job.
This prompting timeout can be configured by the registry entry “PromptingTimeOut” under “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\1.0\Prompting”
PromptingTimeOut:REG_Dword:43200000 (dec) = 12hrs
The Formula is (#hrs * 1000 * 60 * 60)
1HR = 1*1000*60*60 = 3600000 decimal
So for each hour to wait, multiply by 3600000.
8hrs = 28800000 decimal
Restart the DPMRA service.

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,
Ram

How to automatic post the profit OR loss to short term Capital / long term

Hi,
How to automatic post the profit OR loss to Short term Capital gain / Long term capital gain on posting of Sales transaction ?
Incase the inventory item is less than one year older then the difference should be posted to the G/L of Short term Capital gain, where as if the item is more than one year older then the difference should be posted to the G/L of Long term Capital gain
Thanks in advance
Samir Gandhi

I don't think any logic can be used to reach your goal. How B1 system should post in such a fussy conditions?
In case the inventory item is less than one year older then the difference should be posted to the G/L of Short term Capital gain
How can you identify these items? An inventory is a moving concept like a river. It come and goes with all different ways even as to value and revalue them.
Please follow the common sense to face reality.
Thanks,
Gordon

Reclassification of short and long term payables and receivables in ECCS

Hello,
Has anyone worked with reclassifying long and short term receivables and payables in consolidation? Or anyway of using the FI automatic reclassification for closings and be able to consolidate and make eliminations in any of the consolidation tools (ECCS or SEM BCS) between company codes already in SAP and companies outside SAP.

QM, Inspection Lot with Long-Term and Required Characteristic

I want to know if it is possible to print a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with a required, long-term characteristic, if the inspection lot is using the special function "Short-Term Inspection Completed". And then a special Usage decision is made.
Our dilemma is that we have materials that must be shipped for pre approval with a COA, before certain QM tests have been made, and we want to be able to print the COA, but the required flag stops us.
So, what we really want is to require the characteristic if it is one usage decision and not require it if it is a special usage decision related to a "Short-Term Inspection Completed" inspection lot.
We also, would prefer not to have multiple COA profiles to handle, this would cause too much extra data handling.
Thanks,

Hi,
I If your Characteristic , whether it is short term or long term, is not marked as REQUIRED characteristic then there will be sure botheration for you to perform UD w\o performing the RR for them. It will prompt a message, which tends to be warning normally. But the characteristic is not REQUIRED and is OPTIONAL one then there will be no message , no botheration.
But one thing is very clear that if you want to print the Result of some MIC or characteristic,
then
1. it must be recorded for the result.
2. it must be maintained in the COA profile.
At the other hand if you don't wish to print the result of some characteristic, whether it is short term or long term, don't keep it in the COA profile. System will not print it for you.

Shyamal

How sale forecast transfer to COPA via KSPP and not related to long term,

Dear all experts,
i am trying to transfer my sale forecast to COPA via KSPP. However, this is not related to product group and long term planning.
any configuration involve?
what is the step that i need to proceed?
please advise.
CJ

I think you are misunderstood something. The KSPP transaction is used to transfer the activity for the planned order; either long-term or short term to cost center activity type planning (in scheduled activity; and with reconciliation function, can copy to plan quantity).
It is not related to sales forecast from COPA to SOP which KE1E t-code is used.
For KSPP, you can set the transfer control in configuration. Alternatively, without configuration, you can use flexible transfer (menu Environment -> Flexible transfer). This provide that you have the master data in PP and CO setup correctly.
Rgrds,

Result recording to be done after UD with long term inspection

Dear All
I have activated two MIC's for long term inspection. Inspection lot is created and UD is provided after Result recording. i have run QA12 and go to EDIT/RESET/INSPECTION COMPLETION. status of UD changed to LTIN and then in Qe51 / qe51n i selected long term inspection but error message is coming '' NO CHARACTERISTICS WERE FOUND". Plz help , how to do result recording after UD.

Dear Even if the char is long terms & if you have forcefully completed the chars then even if char has LTIN status it will not allow you.
But check this in your sandbox and revert.
1. In the MIC set the 'Optional Characteristic' and 'Long tem inspection ' in the control indiactors.
2. Attach MIC in inspection Plan
3. Do results recording and comlpete UD. all short term charactericts are closed.
4. QA12Change UD with history for Inspection Lot ,
Menu-> Reset inspection completion -> Status changes to LTIN
5. Goto QA02 --> you woudl see " do you wnat to compete Long term inspections" --> yes
6. Then Long term inspection characterictic is open for results recording.
7. Change and complete results --> Make UD
Check and Revert.
Cheers

LONG TERM INSPECTION CHARACTERISTICS

can any body guide me my quality plan have short term and long term characteristics 0010 operation i maintained all characteristics is short term characteristics and 0020 operation all characteristics link with class i am not maintained short and long term
my query is i am not enter any values in 0010 operation i enter 0020 operation characteristics but once i done usage decision this characteristics not update for batch means if i maintain any long term characteristics in quality plan system should not update for batch characteristics
if any body done this business kindly revert me this is urget .

No need that all characteristic should have status '5'.
But the result only which has status '5' would be updated to batch characteristic value.
If a batch characteristic is long-term and required characteristic, the status would be '1' when first usage decision.
When you record the result for the long-term characteristic, the status would changed '5'.
Then you should save usage decision againg for batch characterstic update.

What actually gets written to tape by long-term protection?

I've been reviewing our long term recovery goals and am confused by the Customize Recovery Goal screen. The only documentation I can find for it only gives brief descriptions and is for 2010, I'm using 2012 R2.
Customizing Recovery Goals for Long-Term Protection
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399209.aspx
I notice it says 'Back up every:' under the recovery goals, not 'colocate'. Does this mean that it will take a backup and write it directly to tape instead of writing the recovery points on disk to tape?
The specify long-term goals screen in the Modify Group wizard says 'All long-term tape-based protection uses full backups.' Does this mean the file and application recovery points from the short term protection aren't written to tape?

Hi,
<snip>
What actually gets written to tape by long-term protection?
>snip<
It really depends if you are using short-term to disk or not.
1) You are using short-term to disk, long term to tape (D2D2T)
       In this configuration the last successful disk based recovery point is written to tape.
       The data is read from DPM recovery point and copied to tape.
2) You are using short-term to tape and long term to tape (D2T2T)
     The first LT recovery goal is a full backup taken from the protected server.
      Other LT goals are tape copies from lesser goals, so you need multiple tape drives.
As noted - all long term tape backups are full backups, no incremental backups are possible.

DPM 2012 SP1 long term backup fails when protected server reboots

Hi,
we're using DPM 2012 SP1 with Short-term and long-term protection.
We use a daily short-term backup to disk and a weekly long-term to tape.
We are noticing that when a long-term tape backup is running, it fails when we reboot one of the protected servers.
Is anyone else having this issue ? I assumed the long-term tape backup will be created from a disk-recovery point.

Hi,
What is the detailed error code in the properties of the failed initial replica or consistency check job ?
