Simulation of Planning in MSP(SAP APO) Error

Hi All,
I am trying to Simulate the Planning Process in MSP in SAP APO server.
I followed the Configuration step as per the documentations in SAP.
But when I try to create a Maintenance Plan through /SAPAPO/MSP01 , I am getting an error "No Activity Selected OR No Activity Exist"
But I have created the activities in in the Stock Task List Linked to the Maintenance Profile used to create the Maintenance Plan.
Has anyone encountered a similar scenario. If so please let me know a possible solution or your suggestion on this.
Thanks in advace.

Hi Vijay,
Seems like there are some inconsistencies exist.Run /SAPAPO/OM17 specifically for product-location combination.Ensure your doing the consistency check in background mode.COM Routine error will occour if you try to change one of the keyfigures setting of planning area in foreground.
Hope it will be helpful for you.

Want to learn SAP APO

HI Experts,
I have 4+ years of experience in SAP BI, now I am planning to learn SAP APO. Please give me sugessions is it is useful to future carrier and what are the best materials or documents to learn.
Regards,
SVS

Hello
As you have good exposure in BI , DP would be a good area to explore. Let me tell you , BPC is the area that might help you more in the long run.
In DP what is going to happen is you may have to read lot of functional processes and get yourself acquainted with mapping them to the system.
If you are bent on APO then spend sometime with DP. Before that first read Forecasting and if you google this word you can see lots of good sites. Please let me know if I can be of any help.

Long term planning in ECC for materials planned in SAP APO

Hi SAP PP and APO Experts,
I would like to know whether it is possible to plan a material in SAP ECC with Long Term Planning to create Simulative Planned Orders in ECC, when the MRP Type for the material is set to X0 (Planning in SAP APO).
Warm regards,
Prem

Hi Dhaivakumar,
Appreciate your prompt response.
My business is MTS. I have made all settings for LTP planning for the material. (M|RP Type is set to X0-Planning in APO). When I execute the transaction MS02, I get the error message "Material 5200000013 J310 is not planned automatically. Message no. 61008". The details of the error message is:
The material 5200000013 in plant J310 or in MRP area is not included in automatic MRP because
either the MRP data for plant J310 or MRP area has not been created
or an MRP type has been entered for the material in plant J310 or MRP area that does not allow automatic MRP.
Warm regards,
Prem

Error while simulating Pay Plan

Hi
I created a pay plan item and trying to simulate the pay plan.I am getting the error "Error in debit entry Simulation". Could anyone suggest how to get around this error
Thanks and Regards
Varadarajan B

Hi Varadarajan,
At first I assume that you are talking about an FS-CD Payment Plan. Is this correct? At second I assume you are referring to the Structure "SVVSCPOS_B" (Direct Input Structure of Payment Plan Items). Is this correct as well?
If, and only if both assumptions are right: what 'nature' does the underlaying Payment Plan Item have? I assume it isn't a One-Time Payment (means: PSNGL = ' ' blank), when you execute 'Simulate Payment Plan' for a particular Insurance Object - Business Partner - Relationship, based on at least one item, or multiple items in table "VVSCPOS" (Payment Plan Item).
Moreover: Are all important FS-CD Posting Areas (for example see transaction "FQC0", and table "TFK033C") properly configured?
How did you create the Payment Plan and the Payment Plan Item(s)? I strongly recommend pretending being a feeder system and utilizing the special transaction 'VKTT'. Starting with "Read Partner - Application Server partner_std.txt > Continue" you will find in the main menu "Goto" for branching to Partner, Account, Ins. Object, or Payment Plan. Thus, you should create via VKTT
a Business Partner,
a Contract Account (with Relationship to this Business Partner),
an Insurance Object (with Relationship to this Business Partner) and assigned to the Contract Account, see 2.;
Thereafter you should create 4. an appropraite Payment Plan, of course with at least 5. one Payment Plan Item. Don't forget to save all your cases ;-)
This approach will enable and support you to retest your scenario, and to analyze errors fast and easily, when you launch Collections/Disbursements > Master Data > Insurance Object > Change (transaction "INSOCHANGE") for the Insurance Object - see 3. - and the Payment Plan/Payment Plant Item - see 4. and 5. - you created through VKTT.
If an error message occur, you should go to the Help and analyze the provided text. The AGS xSearch could help you in finding the root cause, please see "Home | SAP Support Portal" <Login with your S-User or C-User) > "Knowledge Base &amp; Incidents | SAP Support Portal" > "Search for a Solution | SAP Support Portal".
Does this help?

How to "roll back" SAP APO PPDS planning batch run from infeasible batch mid-point to before start of planning batch run?

Hi Experts,
We are investigating if any SAP customer that implemented SAP APO PPDS has ever attempted to establish a "roll back" of the SAP APO PPDS created supply plan to a defined point before the start of the SAP APO PPDS planning batch run?
We have a situation where - in the middle of the planning batch run - randomly or intermittent the batch run hangs or runs a step for multiple hours that normally, at most days, takes only a few minutes to run. In a situation like this, the supply plan is not in a state where customer sales orders can be promised (using GATP CTP) or planned orders can be converted to production orders and published to SAP ECC, etc since the plan may be capacity infeasible or simply partial or incomplete.   To not hold the business operations hostage to wait resuming operations (promise customer sales orders, convert and release and execute orders to transfer, deliver, produce, or purchase) for hours or days, we need to find a way back to the original plan right before the nightly PPDS batch planning job started.
We already close all the queues from ECC to APO, thus, no CIF traffic from ECC to APO. We also shut down the customer sales order feed into ECC as normal process for duration of the APO PPDS batch planning run. Thus, functionally, we are theoretically in a situation to simply go back to a PPDS and active planning version save prior to the run. Yet, many more technical and BASIS-related questions remain on how to roll back to a state where the plan was not compromised.
This inquiry is to learn if any other SAP customer has ever established a process to roll back SAP APO PPDS to a previous point in time supply plan to resume operations? Whatever the reasons are, be it after a failed batch run, or any time during the normal interactive plan day.
Additional information about our design and plan:
1. We have a two year horizon supply plan in PPDS
2. We only publish to ECC 14 days worth of planned orders, stock transfer requirements, and purchase requirements
3. We convert planned orders to production orders and release production orders in ECC 2 days before first operation starts
4. We convert PR's to PO's and STR's to STO's in ECC 2 days before execution (ship or submit to vendor)
Any indication where a SAP customer has developed and uses a process to roll back an SAP APO PPDS- planned supply plan to an earlier point in time or version would be helpful to know.

Manimaran M.

Hi Manimaran,
Saving in Simulation means in DS board when you click on save it provides you option to save sim version or adopt to active version. If you copy to inactive version you cannot copy back trasaction data specially PPDs orders back to active version again while if you save in simulation you can adope it to active version at any point of time. YOu can adopt simulation version changes to active version using T-code /SAPAPO/CDPSS0
Copying to active version means you copy data from version 000 to some other active version while here results are kept simulation,

Error while creating Planned order in SAP PP

Hi ,
I am creating planned order for finished material and system has given below error - Please specify the order deadlines in ascending order.
SAP Message Error- Message no. 61009 Please specify the order deadlines in ascending order
Very first planned order get saved and we declare the production and business completed
Now creating second planned order , while saving system giving above error.
I am Taking Planned Order Profile LA -Stock order
Any solution ...?
Thanks in advance !!!
Deepak.

Hello Deepak,
Please adjust the order dates in the scheduling of the planned order. In normal production scenario operation completed end of the night shift and order finish date is possibly moved one day in the future for this reason we need to set the operation timing in 24:00:00 format
In your issue change date like this
End date : 30.06.2014
Start : 31.05.2014
Opening date : 31.05.2104
Check with this date, it’s work for you

Prigramming Logic details for SAP APO Planning Models

Hi All,
I need to learn more about different model available in SAP APO - DP, SNP and their behaviour.
Request to please share any link or document associated with programming logic in different planning models available in APO.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Senthil,
Thanks dear for your response.
What I am looking in programming details of exisiting DP forecasting models like Trend Analysis, Linear Regression.
What I know about MLR is that system uses below equation
Yi = bo + b1X1 + b2X2... + bn Xn
where Yi = Sales History
bo = Mean
b2 = co-efficients
x2 = causal factor etc.
Do you have document which details out how the figures are computed using these planning models?
Once again thanks for your quick reply brother.

Distribution Planning within SAP - APO 3.0 or SCM 4.0

Hi,
Can do any 'Distribution Planning' within SAP SCM V4.0 or V5.0.
We are trying to improve 'decision-making' associated with selection of a particular warehouse for shipments coming out of a specific plant. The application should be able to produce a recommended set of shipments by week from each plant. Critical inputs that go into the process will be (a) Procurement Forecast; (b) Production Forecast; (c) Warehouse Space; (d) Production Plan etc
Can this be done utilizing SAP APO 3.0, SCM 4.0 or SCM 5.0?
Thanks

Hi Tushar,
APO 3.0, SCM 4.0 nd SCM 5.0 all provide replenishment, distribution and deployement along with basic transportation planning functionalities wihin SNP (Suppluy Network Module) of APO. With SCM 5.0 you get other applications (along with APO) like EWM (Extended Warehouse Management) and better transportation planning features.
Moreover it makes sense to go in for the lastest version of the solution to get the latest set of features. Please check on help.sap.com under my SAP Business Suite >> SCM >> APO >> SNP or http://www.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/scm/featuresfunctions/index.epx for more details.

Integration SAP APO consultant duties

Hi Gurus,
can any one let me know what are the duties of integration consultant in SAP APO (DP,SNP,PPDS) ?
Please let me know if you guys have any answers
Thanks & Regards,
Raj kumar

Hi,
The mandate of integration consultant is to ensure that there is no business loss to the company because of some transaction data not transferring between R/3 and APO
If a planned order is not transferred to R/3, the production of certain materials may not be done and this may result in loss of business due to stock out
Similarly if a sales order or a change thereto is not transferred to APO, the planning results may be wrong resulting in business loss to the client on account of lost sale and unwanted stock.
So the duties of Integration consultant include
To properly set up the system and connections,
To closely monitor the data transfer activities and report and get the errors quickly resolved from functional persons.
Guiding the users for proper maintenance of master data as most of CIF errors are attributable to wrong data maintenance.

What is the best expression to name the planning flow on SAP?

I am working on my graduating project in this topic: configuring the planning flow on SAP for the different types of industries.
By planning flow, I am talking about S&OP -> Demand Management -> MRP. But what's the best way to refer to this flow?
I already thought about:
"industrial planning" but it's too general and not precise.
"production planning" but it already refers to the PP module, which deals with other functions than what i am meaning.
"logistic planning" but it refers mainly to the operational level (ressources, workshop management, scheduling) while my work stops at MRP (tactical level)
Can you help me to find the best designation?

OK, I got it now... You are going to love this!
"Advanced Planner and Optimizer", or in short "APO".
The abbreviation even has a website shortcut already www.sap.com/apo and there is a whole instant community already there waiting for you.
What a bargain! :-)
Cheers,
Julius

How sales order number generated in the SAP R/3 is transferred to SAP APO

Dear Experts,
During the creation of the Sales order in SAP R/3 an Purchase requisition is created in SAP APO and assigned with temporary sales order and when we save the sales order in R/3 the corresponding sales order number is attached with the purchase requisition in SAP APO. Is there any exits or BADI available while this Sales order detail transferred to APO or during this sales order details attached to Purchase requisition in APO side.
Many thanks in advance,
Senthil

Senthil,
During the creation of the Sales order in SAP R/3 a Purchase requisition is created in SAP APO
?? I guess you are talking about one of the planning procedures that executes 'Start product heuristic immediately', yes?
and assigned with temporary sales order
I guess you are talking about [Temporary Quantity Assignments|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_glossary/en/74/b171467944d3119b440060b0671acc/content.htm], yes?
Is there any exits or BADI available while this Sales order detail transferred to APO
Standard enhancements are
Sales order CIF enhancement on the ECC side
CIFSLS03 (outbound from ECC)
Sales order CIF enhancement on the APO side
APOCF010 (Inbound from ECC)

BW-BPS versus SAP APO

Hi!
Does someone know the main differences between BW-BPS and SAP APO. When should I pick one tool and when the other.
Best Regards,
Teresa.

BW-BPS and APO are very different products.
BW-BPS tend to be high level or generic planning and occassionally detailed level planning. Some common planning applications to be developed are Sales Planning, Inventory Planning, Profitability Planning, CCA/PCA planning, Financial statement planning, etc.
APO is more Supply Chain Management for production or demand planning with MRP and capacity checking....
