Small question of SOP Forecast

I know that Material Master forecast could maintain the forecast model for each material. But the SOP, as another way of forecasting, is usually used as mass processing. I wonder that whether SOP could also select and maintain forecast models in material level as MRP? or it can only do it on the level of sales Org. ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Chris,
Normally, in S&OP, we do Forecast Run in mass by scheduling a batch job/ Planning Job...
Like one can define a planning job using tcode-MC8D (For a specific Sales Info Structure) for a particular Sales Org/Plant/list of materials and in that case, also assign a "Planning activity".
This Planning Activity decides in mass processing which Forecast Model to be used to calculate forecast. So depending upon your business requirement, you can define number of Activities (Planning Activities) with various Forecast Models and define Planning Jobs.
Off-course, it's really not possible to define Activities & Planning Jobs for each material to select respective forecast model... but you can segregate a list of materials (having some sort of similar structure) and define a Activity & assign it in Planning Job.
You can define Activity in: SPRO --> PP --> S&OP --> Functions --> Mass Processing --> Define Activities.
Hope I was clear while explaining it.. Revert if anything is not clear.
Regards,
Anup

Move the photos from the Trash bin in iPhoto onto the Library icon to get them back in their proper events. Then check the thumbnails to see if they are still behaving the same. If they are make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

NetStream.send() should usually be faster than NetGroup.post(), especially when using 1:1 NetStreams (vs Group NetStreams).
when groups are large, there's no passive way to tell when members join or leave. however, for small groups (less than about 15 members), they will be "fully meshed", meaning every member has a direct connection to every other member. when that's the case, you can see the NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect/Disconnect events on a NetGroup. to receive those, you must create a NetGroup with the same groupspec as your NetStream and listen for NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS events.
your function "msg" must be a method on the subscribing NetStream's "client" object to receive NetStream.send()s from the publisher.
this is all generic ActionScript stuff. i don't know how to use Flash CS5 but this stuff should all be the same in Flash and Flash Builder.

I need help in two small questions

Hi,
I'm new to Java and this is my first contribution.
I have some small questions and hope that I get their answers
*1. How can I read the input from the keyboard directly, without waiting to press Enter-key? (In DOS-console and not in graphic interface application)?*
*2. How can I write a Java code to print in a printer?*
With my best regards in advance

Hello and welcome to this forum. One request, could you please turn down the volume? All-bold is a bit much. Why not reserve it for when you really need it?
1. How can I read the input from the keyboard directly, without waiting to press Enter-key? (In DOS-console and not in graphic interface application)?Not without great difficulty. There are non-standard libraries out in the great aether that will allow this, but I believe that most of us mere mortals will use a GUI such as Swing when we want this type of functionality.
2. How can I write a Java code to print in a printer?Have you looked on Google or the Sun tutorials? It would be best if you start there and then come back here if you have any specific questions about something that's not working.
Good luck.

Nokia E71 small Questions

I've been using my E71 for 6 months but it has left me with a few small questions.
1.) The 2.5 audio port produces awful hissing when paired up with a pair of Sennheiser in-ear headphones (the noise can be heard on the bundled nokia headphones, just not as loud). This hiss can also be heard when navigating the menu system via the menu sounds. Is this typical or does the 2.5mm output supposed to produce clear sound?
2.) The front audio speaker tends to develop a echo/hollow sound when talking to people or listening to music. I must tap the front speaker to rid the issue. This is something that seems to come and go.
3. ) I'll be taking my phone to Poland and wanted to know if there's a way to change the SMS language/dictionary from English to Polish. I'd like my words to be corrected and autotyped in Polish.
If that is possible, is there then a hotkey for such an action to be able to swap between languages?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

we dont live jere 24/7
its a user to user forum
you need a compatible 2.5m adaptor and they are hard to find and match up with good headphones
this speaker does tend to be hollow at times this is not a music device so quality is not as same as a music dedicated model
in phone got to personalisation/language there you will see phone language and writing language see what options you have from there
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Anyone else pretty excited? (some small questions)

This is pretty great, I've been waiting for this merger for awhile (like I'm sure a lot of us have been) but I do have some small questions (that probably wont be able to get answered):
• On the 9th, I'm assuming people will be camping out and what have you. But would EVERY Verizon and Apple store carry the Verizon iPhone on the 10th? I'm assuming no...
• With the NE2 special ending, even long time customers will no longer be able to use this service, right? Furthermore, does that mean there will be no more annual upgrades, and that everyone must pall full retail (usually $300-$500) for a new phone?
Thanks~

• With the NE2 special ending, even long time customers will no longer be able to use this service, right? Furthermore, does that mean there will be no more annual upgrades, and that everyone must pall full retail (usually $300-$500) for a new phone? Existing Customers will have their NE2 option grandfathered for one more use, then after use at upgrade time it's forever gone. Annual upgrades required a minimum service level, so not everyone qualified (I never did, my plans were too cheap to qualify) and upgrades will come at 10 months (1 year contract) or 20 months (2 year contract), same as they are for me now.
Thanks~

Material Forecast VS SOP Forecast

Hi,
Could anyone please explan to me what is the difference between the mtl forecast and the SOP forecast ? I have read the documentation a few times and still have not bee able to figure out what the difference is. Do we need to use both at the same time ? Do the forecasted values in the material master equate to the forecasted values you see in the SOP planning table ? Are these two interchangable ? I would really appreciate it if someone could explain this to me.
Thanks

Dear,
It depends on the parameters used. First let you be clear that do you want to do it through SOP or Matrial master, then go ahead with that. It may be same or diffeent depends on the parameters used.
If you do it in forecast in material master usually we use it for ra material where we use consumption based planning with VV.
If you do sales forecast it is used for product and we are doing with a planning stg where we control the consumption.
In SOP, we can control what to consider as consumotion or whether to take last year slaes...
In material master it is just a consumption.
Hence be clear what is required for you and proceed

Sop forecast

Hi,
I am creating sop from forecast. I am doing the following steps. Please tell me whether I am right or not.
In the first month I have maintained the historical consumption values for materials in MM02 under total consumption.
I created sop for the materials through forecast in MC87/ MC88 active version.
I am transfering these values to demand management in mass transfer job.
I am then running MRP for this.
Is this fine or am I missing out any steps?
Thanks and Regards,
Raghu

Hi ,
procedure of Flexible Planning:
1.Create Plan in inactive version
2.Convert Plan in to Active Version
3.Transfer to Demand management
1) Create Planning for material MC87
2) Copy to Active Version MC78
3) Transfer to Demand Mangement MC74
Master Data in SOP:
1.Information Structure
2.Planning Type
3.Planning Hierarchy
4.Product Group
5.Resource
6.Rough cut planning profile
configuration steps for SOP:
1)Set parameter for Info structure and Key figure
2)Maintain Transfer Profile
3)Define Activity
4)Define Key figure assignment
5)Define copy profile.

Sop/forecast in sd

Hai gurus,
i have one scenario,( REM Method)
1) Company 'A' is the marketing one which collects all the requirements from various parts of the country
and make a consolidate requirements of all the final products like( P1,P2,P3 and P4) for the entire year.
2) Company 'B' is the manufacturer of final products like P1,P2,P3 and P4 ,based on the input given by the
executives of Company 'A' during the meeting(under non SAP situation now)with executives of company
'B'.so the qty input is only data given manually by the executives from company 'A' to company 'B'.
3) Both the company A and B comes under same management.
4) Company 'B' produce the final products like P1,P2,P3 and P4 and sell it to Company 'A'.(100% invoicing
of all the material produced from Company B to A under non sap situation)
How to map the same in SAP, as the requirement from Company 'A' pass to Company 'B' and the same is
produced and sold back without any problem for accounting and qty disputes.
regards,
sekar chand.

Dear Mr Lakshmipathy,
thanks for your reply and correctly pointing out the case.
i am clear based on your reply for the earlier thread regarding how the transactions are taking place
between one company to another, but my current question is how the input of the company'A' is
transformed to company'B' for production.
Either through sop or any other method present in std SAP
regards,
sekar chand

Question about Statistical Forecast

Hi,
We are trying to configure Statistical Forecast and the challenge is the planning level:
Our input KF is called Sales History and has a base planning level as:
PE/PRD/SOG/SOF/SGP/DC/ST (Period/Product/S.Org/S.Off/S.Gp/Dist.Channel/Sold-To level)
however we want our forecast to be run at a more aggregate level as:
PE/PRD/SOG/SOF (Period/Product/S.Org/S.Off),
i.e. without 3 levels SGP/DC/ST (S.Gp/Dist.Channel/Sold-To level)
My questions are:
1) How can we forecast at an aggregate level without using too many helper KFs?
2) Given that input KF and output KF for statistical forecast have to be at the same the aggregated planning level, how can we disaggregate forecast result back to the detail level?
Thank you.
Yee Ann

Hi Ram,
thank you for your fast reply. I might not have expressed myself clearly enough. Our situation is as follows:
We have an input key figure (ACTUALSQTY) at level PERPRODCUST and an output KF (STATISTICALFCSTQTY) at the same level. The statistical forecast itself however should be calculated at the higher level PERPRODCHAN (CHAN=distribution channel of the customer), and the results should be stored at STATISTICALFCSTQTY@PERPRODCUST, on the lower level. We need this STATISTICALFCSTQTY@PERPRODCUST as input for the manual sales forecast; the sales forecast KF has the base planning level PERPRODCUST, therefore I need to have the input at this level as well.
As far as I know, it is possible in APO DP to explicitly name a level for the statistical forecast itself, even when the level of the input/output key figures is lower.
I was hoping that there is a similar functionality in S&OP on HANA, i.e. I define a forecasting profile with input and output KF at PERPRODCUST and insert the forecast level PERPRODCHAN either in the forecasting profile or in the Excel AddIn when running a forecast.
As I assume from your answer above, I was thinking too simple.
If I define ACTUALSQTY@PERPRODCHAN and STATISTICALFCSTQTY@PERPRODCHAN I can do the forecast at this aggregated level, that is fine. However, I need another KF like DISAGG_STATISTICALFCST@PERPRODCUST as input for SALESFCSTQTY@PERPRODCUST, i.e. for the manual sales forecast on level PERPRODCUST. I think that is actually the same situation that Yee Yuen described in
"2) Given that input KF and output KF for statistical forecast have to be at the same the aggregated planning level, how can we disaggregate forecast result back to the detail level?"
And I didn't get your idea of how to derive this DISAGG_STATISTICALFCST@PERPRODCUST from STATISTICALFCSTQTY@PERPRODCHAN.
It would be great if you could help me again!
Cheers, Jonathan

Please help me with my mac. when i turned it on, a small question mark icon (?) appears at the center.

hi,
Please help me out with my MAC model m6497. when i turned it on, only a smallquestion mark appears at the center and does not proceed to its descktop at all

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.
