SNP Planning book - Period Information Setting Issue

Dear All,
In SNP Planning book we have issue related to "Period Information" for
the buckets. The period labelling is not working properly.
Actually when we go to the SNP planning book and change the Period
Information Settings(refer attachment). Once Period Setting is changed,
it gets changed to all the users(globally). So it is behaving as if it is not
user specific settings.
Scenario is - Suppose I changed the Period information in SNP Planning
book to appear in particular format, and when other users goto SNP
Planning book their Period Information Setting gets automatically
set to the same format which was I changed to, and vice-versa.
FYI - We do not have - Use-Exit implemented for Period Setting.
Appreciate any input in this regard.
Thank you

Hi Pawan
Thanks for the reply.
Here is what SAP has to say, this is as per reply to my OSS message.
Question- The period information settings cannot be
made user-specific; there is no customization possible. right?
SAP Says-------> Regarding the period information settings, there is really no
customization to achieve the result, unfortunately.
Question- When you goto Design of the Planning Book, inside the Dataview Tab,
Period Labelling field shows value as "A", However F4 drop-down list do
not contain u201CAu201D value for the selection. Only possible values in F4 drop-
down list are Blank, U, Z, B and E. Could you please clarify this?
SAP Says -
> Regarding the period labeling values, the 'A' value is blank in the
selection because you can also leave it blank for the system to use the
'standard labeling' option.
Sharing it for for everyone's benefit.
Thank you
Satish.

SNP Planning Book Capacity Data View Issue

Hi Friends,
In my SNP Planing Books Capcity Data View the total of Production Qty is not matching when I expand the Product wise view for Week 22 2011. Can some one help me to identify why this is happening?
Production Total Qty shown is 29618 but when I view Product Details it totals only 24650 but Total line shows 29618.

Hi,
In the standard SNP planning area 9ASNP02, the relevant KF in Capacity view is 9ACASUP .
There may be a conflict identified between selection and key figures to be read.
You can choose a different selection condition or change to a different data view, and check if ti comes out correctly.

How to manually enter forcast/demand in SNP Planning Book

Hi experts,
Kindly help me there are two questions on my mind. First
1. How to create manually forecast in SNP planning book? and also in RRP3? (if the product is in house it automatically creates planned order, if externally procured PREQ but how about forecast using product view?
2. If the forecast is in the past but I want to upload that in the SNP Planning book?
Even if I change the period structure date it does not reflect the past dates in the planning book. Since the planning book of SNP is standard how am I be able to change the planning book time bucket start date.
Thanks and Best Regards!!!!

Hi,
in /SAPAPO/SJKTST04 you set the type of order FCST, then you planning area and version, keyfigure to populate (your forecast keyfigure, probably 9ADFCST), the order type (usually FA)
In the details you set product, date to start, in horizon - the number of orders to create, if you set 10, you'll get 10 orders starting from your start date).
Unfortunately through here, you gan create orders with fixed quantity only and also for only one product/location combination.
If you already have DP available, even for testing I find it more easy to release forecast from there.
For your second question - at least for 4.1 (I don't have a 5.0 system to check) you cannot have past dates in a column other than "Initial"
Hope that helps,
br,
Mikhail

Unit Of Measure Conversion in the SNP Planning Book

I have a problem in (a copy of ) the standard SNP Planning Book 9ASNP94.
I often need to view data in different units of measure however, but would like to avoid having to set up multiple Planning Areas. I know how to change the Unit Of Measure on my User Settings and for specific Selection IDs however, the conversions only ever work for a single Location/Product combination. As soon as I select 2 Products, the Key Figures all revert back to the Planning Area UoM.
Is there anyway round this or do I have to create new Planning Areas? If so, what are the issues in running multiple Planning Areas - does this cause performance problems?

Hi
My feeling is when you do conversion on aggregated level(multiple products), if any of the product has UOM missing then you coversion fails on aggregted level.
It looks strange that UOM conversion looks fine when you do conversion on each product.
I suggest you to check whether the UOMs (that you want to convert)are updated correctly on each product on their repective location in the product master under UOM tab.
regards
Vijaya.

The "Details All" view in the SNP planning book is not sorted

The "Details All" view in the SNP planning book should be sorted by Product Description in ascending order.
When all products in the selection ID are loaded into the SNP planning book, and then "Details All" is selected from the Header area, the product description list is not sorted in ascending order.
However when I load small number of products the issue does not occur they get sorted correctly by product description.
Is this hapenning due to standard functionality/Standard macro in Planning book?
Please let me know if anybody has faced this kind of issue earlier.
Edited by: Rohit Arun Bhosale on Jul 5, 2010 1:05 PM

Hi Rohit,
If you are using Detail All drill down then you wonu2019t get any option for sort as it will load all codes from the selection in the planning book and sorting will be based on product IDs.
but if you drill down from header on detail all -filter, even if you sort the display list there using ascending/descending button for Description, the list that you will get in the planning book after load will be based on the Product IDs agian.
I hope this is controlled from the selection we do in planning book where we select Location/Product, but if your planning is better driven by the description then you can remove the Product ID selection from header setting and have only description in drill down.

Digambar

Transport of SNP planning book resulted in inconsistency

Hi
We recently added a new standard key figure to the SNP planning book in DEV system and Transported it to QA and PROD.
The issue now we are facing is the Time Bucket (TB) forward profile appears to show the time buckets in a daily format as against weekly bucket that existed before the Transport.
Is it essential to always transport the entire planning book each time we add a Keyfigure ?
will this situation even apply to macros etc.
The question now arises is IF multiple people are working on same planning book to add, delete or update items of the planning book, how do we separate them in different transport requests when each time planning book has to be transported.
Also I would like to find out any change logs to make sure changes exist before transporting a planning book ?

Hi
It looks like the setup of your Resource Master Data.
SNP Rough Cut Planning uses Bucket Capacities, so your resources would need to have a Bucket Dimension (Therefore single-Mixed, Multi-mixed or Bucket types)
This Dimension will also need to be maintained. As a guess I would say that you hve some resources which are multi-mixed, they have a Continuous Dimanesion assigned of Time (AAAADL) in the "Time Continuous" Tab and the "SNP Bucket" Tab has a Bucket Definition set to "From Continuous" e.g. gets the same values as the time-continuous calculation. Somewhere amongst your 6 resources, one or two of them are set up differently to this. Worth starting off checking that all the resources are set up the same way here.

Meaning of CONDET key figure in standard 9ASNP94 APO SNP planning book

I am trying to clarify the use and meaning of the CONDET (capacity consumption details) key figure in the SAP standard SNP planning book 9ASNP94.
Any advice appreciated...

Hi Frank,
This indeed is practical requirement wih no simple solution ( at least we did not find).
We created a background job for deletion of the stocks ( which were updated through IDOCs like your situation) at specific periodicity. The jobs were made as per planners with specific variants and when planner would like to delete the stocks, the job will be run.
Another option could to be copy the standard program /SAPAPO/RLCDELETE to a module program and check validation at the input screen, before calling the deletion program.

SNP - Planning Book/Data View not showing up in /SAPAPO/SNP94

Hi All:
I created a planning Book out of a custom SNP planning area. While I could see the Planning Book in the list of Planning Book in the /SAPAPO/SDP94 - Interactive Supply Network Planning (all Books) I could not see the custom planning book in /SAPAPO/SDP94 - Interactive Supply Network Planning (all Books) . I could ony see the SAP supplied PB there. Will SDP94 transaction display only the standard SNP Planning book? How can I make sure that the custom PB is displaed in /SAPAPO/SDP94?
pl. help
Thanks
Ryan

Hi Narayanan,
a couple of simple checks..
can you please check that you have not set a filter critera in the shuffler in planning book/data view?
you can also check if by mistake only a limited number of users are assigned to this planning book and data view ?
else you may want to check note : , 327371

How can you block production for a specific product in SNP planning book

Hi All,
Looking for a way to manually indicate a decision to prevent production in a specific cell for a product in the SNP planning book utilizing the supply planning and capacity leveling heuristics. For this requirement the resource would have available capacity during that time period. It also could plan other products in that time period. The requirement is for a planner to manually go into the planning book to somehow indicate that the heuristic should not consider that time period as available for a specific product, while still leaving the resource available for other products.
Has anyone run into this before? Any experience on how to stop a heurisitc from considering a specific time bucket for a specific product as available for orders?
Thanks
-Mike

Hello Mike,
I haven't tried it yet myself but I kow that there is the option in the Planning Book to manually fix several periods for a specific location product. This will prevent the heuristic from planning these periods for the specified product. For details please have a look in the Online Help for SNP under key word "Order Fixing".

Christian

User are getting kicked out of SNP planning book

Hello Experts
I hope you can help me out here!
From time to time we are experiencing strange issue for SNP user's .. User are getting kicked out from SNP planning book
Please help us.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
As far as I know, users should not get kicked out unless someone terminates their session.
Even if they lock some data and the same data is needed by some job, it's the job that would fail showing data lock. Similarly, if some other uses tries to access the locked data, the user who is accessing later would face the issue of not being able to go to edit mode.
It's possible to write programs that could specifically do this work of kicking out users before we run batch jobs, but let me assume that this is not the case with you.
One possibility is that there is issue in livecache and so users are not able to access livecache or get kicked out from their active session (e.g. your log area gets full, then users would soon get kicked out after seeing the system hanging initially). This you would need to check at the time when users face issue. This would also mean that other processes that need livecache should also fail e.g. GATP, or SNP planning or PPDS planning related jobs would fail at the same time.
If you could share exactly what error message the users are seeing, that could be helpful in resolving the issue.
Thanks - Pawan

Purchase requisition date in SNP planning book and product view not in sync

Hello Experts,
We have an issue with display of purchase requisition date in SNP planning book.
We are manually entering the PR's for a perticular week from Monday - Sunday(01.09.2014- 07.09.2014), when the last PR is entered on 07.09.2014, it does not appear on the same day in planning book(cell becomes empty) and moves to 06.09.2014, thus quantity on 06.09.2014 is the summation of the quantities present on 06th and 07th.
The PR dates are appearing correct when we click on display details in planning book and they are correct in product view, MD04 as well.
Additionally, this is the same date on which daylight saving time comes into effect.
Kindly advise if anyone has faced similar situation earlier.
Many thanks,
Aditi

Hi Aditi,
Check the time zone that you have in your location in ECC and APO.
Also note it is recommended that you maintain the same system time zone in APO and in ECC. (check tcode STZAC in both systems).
Different time zones should generate this kind of inconsistencies.
Kind Regards,
Mariano

Capacity Consumption in SNP planning book

Hello,
Can anyone explain what drives the calculation of capacity consumption KF in the planning book.
Here is the example.
1) I have a Resource whose SNP bucket capacity of 90,000/Hr = 450000/Wk
2) I created a PP/DS PPM for one product from ECC and then converted it to a SNP PPM
3) There was no resource assignment in the SNP PPM. I then manaully assigned the resource (in step 1) to the PPM.
4) The material consumption on the SNP PPM is 37 per HR
5) The variable bucket consumption on the resource within the SNP PPM is 1 per hr.
Now I created a planned order of 4440 for the finished product in the SNP planning book manually (behind the scenes the heuristic run was carried out obviously).
On my capacity view, the values i see are:
Available capacity = 450000/Week (which is clear since its 90,000 * 5 days/week)
Capacity Conusmption = 6845
Resource capacity level in % = 1.521 (which is 6845/450000 * 100).
The only question is how is the Capacity Conusmption value populated by a value of 6845?
Please provide me your input gurus.
Thx,
Vishy
The idea is to create oneresource and assign it to multiple SNP PPMs so that the capacity situation on this resource for various products could be analysed.)

DEAR GURUS,
*There is a question regarding the resoucre consumptions relevant to PDS in SNP,*
****The inputs are:****
****1) Base Qty= 7700 TH****
****2) Set Up =45 MIN****
****Resource consumed by operation activity is 112 207 seconds = 31,17 hours.****
****Unfortunately we didnu2019t understand how this figure is calculated.****
****Can you please help us in this****

Stock not in SNP Planning Book

Hi
We are doing a global implementation and we have seen the issue where stock exists in live cache, and is correctly considered in SNP Heuristics, but the stock on hand is not displayed in the SNP planning book.
This is NOT an issue with the stock category, as the same stock category is displayed for Poland and the UK locations.
This is leading me to think this might be a time zone issue?
What possible reasons can people think of where stock of the CC category is in live cache but not displayed in the SNP planning book. But another plant location is performing correctly for CC stock.
S SB

I have answered my own issue. The stock on hand macro is initial stock + Receipts - Demands.
Deployment is running in the evening and pushing out the stock, the day rolls over to the next day and then the deployment STR demand is considered history and as per the above formula is netting off the stock.
This is a symptom of running the SNP run in the evening, not at 00.01am. (Deployment STRs of stock are instantly in the past) which then affects the stock on hand balance.
Hope that is clear to anyone else having this issue.
Simon.

Read data from SNP planning book

Hi Frnds,
We are faced with a situation in which we need to read certain key figures such as PIR's, Goods Issue from SNP Planning book.
We tried using BAPI "BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL" to retreive data. But it seems that we are giving wrong input data to the BAPI. Could you please let us know what to be fed into the BAPI in simple terms? If there is any example code for the same , would be very much appreciable.
Orelse if there is some other way to retreive this data kindly suggest us accordingly...
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Karthick

Hi Karthick,
The parameters for calling BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL really depends on your Planning Area and Planning Book configurations. The planning book configuration will limit what Characteristics and Key Figures will you be able to read using BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL. Let me give you an example.
Assumptions: The planning book is configured as follows:
Name = ZPB1
Data view = DV1
The DV1 data view contains the characteristics 9AMATNR and ZCNTRY and Key Figures ZKF1 and ZKF2.
Assuming also that we have the following data currently in livecache:
9AMATNR-ZCNTRY-ZKF1-ZKF2
000001234-PH       - 143 - 567
000007891-PH       - 245 - 782
000007891-US       - 124 - 890
Let's further assume that you want the data aggregated to country level (e.g. char ZCNTRY), you have 1 planning version 'ZPAV1' and you only want the data for Country=PH, then here are the parameters that you need to pass to BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL:
PLANNINGBOOK = 'ZPB1'
DATA_VIEW = 'DV1'
SELECTION = 9AVERSION I EQ ZPAV1, ZCNTRY I EQ 'PH'
GROUP_BY = 'ZCNTRY'
KEY_FIGURE_SELECTION = ZKF1, ZKF2
Hope this helps. Please post again if you have any questions. I can give you sample code if you can post your email address.
