SNP PPMs from PPDS PPM and manually creating PPMs in SNP

I am a new user to APO and have a small question. I will appreciate if you could help me out.
We are implementing SNP, with plans to implement PPDS in the future.
Could you please explain the difference between converting SNP PPMs from PPDS PPM or manually creating PPMs in SNP.
Thank you

How To Use Dynamic Menus To Place Manually Created Jspx Pages On Sub-Level

JHeadstarters,
Back on the JHS trail and could use some help.
I started using dynamic menus (see section 9.2 JHS Dev Guide) to setup a custom menu structure and found it could not be easier however I need to solve 2 issues;
1. How to get more than 2 levels deep on the menus (parent, child, grand-child, etc.)? In the menu structure setup I have created a menu that is 3-levels deep however when it runs you only get 2 levels. Perhaps a template needs to be changed.
2. How can I assign manually created jspx pages to sub-level menus?
Scenerio;
I have JHS generated pages *** AND *** manually created pages. Using dynamic menus to place the JHS genned pages works fine, the problem is how to do it with manually created pages.
Using Dynamic Menu's I created a top-level menu tab named "warp-core", below it on the next level I have two sub-menus, one named "search" and one named "form" for displaying the results of the search and modifying the rows (don't ask me why they are seperate).
The problem is how to assign the manually created jspx pages to those sub-menus? Or am I going abouth this the wrong way? Perhaps I could use JHS to generate seperate search and display pages.
Thanks!

Bill,
1. Yes, you need to decide yourself how and where you want to render this third level menu. You then create a region file similar to dynamicMenu2Tabs.jspx, just replace the references to level2MenuItems with level3MenuItems. Then create a custom template to call this menu 3 region file.
For example, you could create a bulleted vertical list for level 3 as illustrated in section 9.1.3 of the Developers Guide (that example is with static menu, but you can use similar technique for dynamic menu)
2. Instead of a group name, you can specify a JSF Navigation action in the menu administration application. So, you create a global navigation case to your custom page, and you enter this navigation case id in the menu admin app.
Note that if you want to generate separate search pages, you can do so by setting the advanced search property to "separatePage".

Can't create PPM plant for SNP usage from PP/DS

Hi All,
I can't create SNP plan from PP/DS in PPM via SAPAPO/SCC03 and further Goto, SNP PPM generation.
The error message is "order has no activities" Check your master data (PPM or iPPE). Message number /SAPAPO/OM082.
Need help.
Regards, Andrey

Hi,
1. Tcode /SAPAPO/OO_PPM_CONV.Enter Product an location and execute.
2. Create SNP name.
3.Select the line item, click on mass date change,enter today's date ,flag the PPM for conversion and save.
4.Select Goto----> Genrerate.Inthe initial screen enter the start date of the generation period,Bucket size, typical order size and Maximum no of modes and priority.
5.Alternatively you can do this step 4 in tcode /SAPAPO/OO_PPM_CONV_310 after flagging the PPM directly in this tcode.
6. Genrerate the SNP PPM.
Note : Execute /SAPAPO/SCC03 and enter Loc Product and Usage P and execute and enter . You will have the PPDS PPM screen.
If you want to have SNPPPM enter Usage as S.
Thanks,

SNP PPM Generation from PPDS PPM - Time less than 1 sec. in snp bucket con

Dear All,
Request immediate help .
(a) My PPDS PPM have time elements less than 1 seconds towards processing time and there are operations without a set up time .
(b) While converting such a PPM PPM into an SNP PPM I get an error of bucket consumption as SNP cannot convert less than 1 second into a daily bucket .
(c) I have to maintain the base qty in BOM and Routing as 1 unit hence cannot increase the same .
(d) Is there a way in which SNP PPM can be generated from a PPDS PPM wherein the PPDS PPM has only a processing time of 1 second and no set up time .
(e) Infact I have tried to convert the PPDS PPM with a time of 1.5 seconds but now I have lot of products where the routing suggests a processing of less than 1second and no set up . This is leading to a PPDS PPM of time less than 1 second and SNP PPM is not getting generated as guess it cannot convert a PPDS PPM with less than 1.5 seconds in a day .
Would appreciate a quick response .
Thanks and Best Regards ,
Prashant Kumar

Hi
Firstly, can I ask why the base unit has to be 1, this seems a strange restriction?
If it has to be, then two possible solutions:
1) In the CIF enhancement CIFPPM01 you could multiply all values by, for example, 100 to give you larger values in the PP/DS PPM in APO and hence of a size that SNP conversion can cope with.
2) In one of the BADI's /sapapo/ppm_calc or /sapapo/ppm_gen you can do the same conversion factor if the PP/DS PPM has to also be 1 unit.
Hope this helps

PPDS Horizons and PPM

Hi Gurus,
              Can any one explain me the difference between
1. Opening periods
2. PPDS plng Time fence
3. Adjustment Horizon
4. Rqmts Ascertain Horizon
5. PPDS Horizon
& also please explain me step by step how i can create PPM for my finished products
Please let me know.
Thanks & REGARDS
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Continued...
3. Adjustment Horizon and 4. Rqmts Ascertain Horizon
These two horizons are relevant to sales order oriented planning. In sales order oriented planning we only convert procurement proposals (planned orders and purchase requisitions) into manufacturing orders or purchase orders if theses procurement proposals are used to cover sales orders.
Adjustment Horizon : Using specific PPDS heuristics, we delete planned independent requirements for which there are no sales orders, and adjust the purchase requisitions and planned orders used to cover these planned independent requirements accordingly.
u2022     To adjust the planned independent requirements and procurement proposals for selected products, we use the standard heuristic SAP_PP_015. This heuristic executes the adjustment for all procurement proposals that start in the adjustment period. You can define the adjustment period using the adjustment horizon.
u2022     Using the standard heuristic SAP_PP_016 you execute the adjustment for selected orders. The adjustment horizon and the adjustment period are not relevant here.
Rqmts Ascertain Horizon: Using a specific PPDS heuristic (standard heuristic SAP_PP_014) we can determine the planned independent requirements for which there are no sales orders.
We can determine these planned independent requirements for procurement proposals that start in the requirements ascertainment period. We can define the requirements ascertainment period using the requirements ascertainment horizon. We can use the results to ask your customers to issue sales orders.
5. PPDS Horizon
This the time horizon in which PP/DS can automatically create, change, or delete receipts. Outside of the PP/DS horizon, receipts can only be planned manually in PP/DS
PPM creation:
In APO we have PPDS and SNP PPMs.
Please refer to the URL below which gives in detail the procedure for PPM creation:

Continual Consumption : Variable field in PPM from R/3

Hi All -
I have a multi-mixed resource and it is used in one of the operations in the PPM. I was manually creating the PPM and testing a few things and I had populated the field " Continual Consumption: Variable"
How can this field be CIF'fed over from a production version?
No matter what capacity/scheduling formulas I tried to use on the Work Center, the " Continual Consumption: Fixed" field gets populated in the PPM with " No of indivudual capacities"from the WC. Never the continual consumption:variable.
What field should I mantain for this to be continual consumption :variable?
Appreciate your help
Varun

Hi Varun,
If you want input components to get consumed continously use feild Distrubution key in BOM. open bom and double click on component for which you need continous consumption and mention feild distrubution key.
Only distrubution key GLEI(equal distrubution) can be CIFED to APO.
If you are talking about continous consumption of capacities try using distrubution formula in workcenter in capacity as well as schduling tab. I am not sure about continual consumption capacity as I never used but we are using continous consumption components.
Regards.
Siddharth.

Deleting PPMs from APO

Hi all -
Whats the best way to clear the obsolete PPMs from APO? Can it be done only through BAPIs/program/manually as suggested in some earlier posts?
Is there anyway we can make the system remove the obsolete ppms from APO?
Currently we just lock the PVs in R/3 and they change to inactive in APO and thats fine. At this point no matter what I do, since the valid from/to date is in the past, the system obviosuly does not even read them.
How do we get rid of old ppms from APO? Appreciate all your help!
Varun

Thanks for the reply. So, is there no way to set an indicator on PV or on the R/3 side so that the CIF master data update job of PPM deletes it from APO?
Thanks for your answers
Varun

Creating 508 Adobe Acrobat Accessible Docs from various sources and formats

Note: I have no 508 training, except for perusing of documents on the web.
I need to create searchable 508 Compliance report documents for Adobe Acrobat (not for the web at this time) from merged PDF files.
To create these reports, I do not have originals, all I have been given are PDFs, some of which have been created from Word and others scanned (some with OCR and some not). Some of the reports are converted directly from Word but may also be a combination of electronic and scanned pages (signature pages, graphics, appendices, etc.) Often the scanned pages have not been scanned to actual letter size (8.5 x. 11), but are smaller. Sometimes they are larger or A4.
In preparing the final report, I take all of the PDFs and merge them into one document.
I add watermarks and headers/footers to the whole document.
In order to get all of the watermarks and headers/footers to align on the page with ease, I need all of the pages to be the standard letter size of 8.5 x 11 without losing any information.
The only way I can figure out how to achieve this is to take the pages (usually scanned pages) that need to be enlarged (sometimes reduced) and Print to a PDF.
This will create a new PDF of the existing PDF; making it the standard letter size of 8.5 x 11, without cropping.
I can then replace the odd-sized pages with the new PDF pages, creating a document where all of the pages are now the standard letter size of 8.5 x 11.
Once my document is all the same size, I can add my watermarks and header/footers.
I still need to make the whole document a searchable 508 Adobe Acrobat compliant document.
I believe I need to run the OCR Text Recognition to convert/capture scanned pages and pictures to make this document a searchable 508 Adobe Acrobat compliant document.
I tried running the OCR text recognition on the current merged (160 pages) PDF document (before adding my watermarks, headers/footers) to capture the scanned text, and I receive the following errors:
        This page contains renderable text.
        This page has graphics other than images or text on it. It cannot be captured.
When I ran the Adobe Acrobat Accessibility checker, I get the following errors:
       The first page is a scanned signature page: the error says
1 image with no alternate text
            1 element(s) that are not contained within the structure tree.
1.     Inaccessible page content
     Most of the remaining detailed report errors are:
Inaccessible page content
1 element(s) that are not contained within the structure tree.
I tested one page and used the Touch Up Reading Order tool and added alternate text to a signature block, ran the accessibility checker again, but still came back with alternate text errors.
I am open to suggestions. Feel free to advise me from beginning to end in regards to what I’m trying to accomplish.
THANK YOU!

You do have a boat load of work.
     This page contains renderable text.
     This page has graphics other than images or text on it. It cannot be captured.
This isn't an "error". Acrobat's OCR cannot process PDF page content that is not exclusively an image.
    1 image with no alternate text
When properly tagged, an image or graphic in a PDF is identified by the PDF element "Figure"
(<Figure>).
All Figures shall have an Alternate Text Description.
You may have images/graphics that are tagged as Figures but should be Artifacts.
OCR - The hidden layer of OCR output provided by Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact)
is, for practicable purposes, not something one can effectively created Tagged PDF from.
Prior to Acrobat 9 one would use Formatted Text and Graphics. With Acrobat 9 one would use
ClearScan. Alternatively, one might just re-key the content in an authoring application and output Tagged, accessible PDF.
Watermarks & Header/Footers -
Oh boy; well, once you have everything else in a "green board" line up you'd add these and manually
"fold" them into the structure tree via proper tagging.
So, the first step is to gain at least a fundamental understanding of what an Accessible PDF is and
how to create it. Then you'd want to become familiar with Section 508 1194.22.
As each of the paragraphs are correlated to WCAG 1.0, you'll want to review it to understand what
the correlation is and how it relates to PDF.
However, Section 508 will be changing.

How to create Portal/OID groups from AD OUs and keep them sync'd?

We are currently doing a simple one-to-one import sync mapping from Active Directory to OID for use by Portal.
In AD there are 40+ OUs with CN=username records, that we would like to have mapped to 40+ Portal groups with CN=username records as unique group members. We want to manage Portal privileges at the Portal group level rather than for each of 3,000+ individual users.
Each OU has it's own AD admin, so there is no way of knowing at what sub-level in the OU, an AD admin might create a CN=username record.
I had thought to manually create 40 new Portal groups, since the OUs seldom change. Now, I need to know how to create/map each of the OU=xxx, CN=username values as a unique member of the correct Portal group. During the sync, if an AD CN=username is added/modified/deleted from an existing OU=xxx, that same add/modify/delete needs to happen in the appropriate Portal group.
If somebody could assist me in "making it so", I would appreciate your time and help.
--Don

If you are already running the AD->OID synchronization, where do your OU's end up? It all depends on the mapping profile you (should have) set up.
Not sure where Portal stores the OID stuff, but you sjould be able to change the profile in such a way it ends up in the correct tree

Then I created the Listener for the created Database.
Everythig is running fine including the listener and database but
How can i view the database from Web Enterprise Manager.
Kindly Guide

You have to create the Enterprise Manager Repository first. You can use DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) or EMCA (Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant) for that. Then you can start EM by

SAP_pp_019 heuristics creates automatic fixed pegging relation ship .generally we have automatic fixed pegging and manual fixed pegging

SAP_pp_019 heuristics creates automatic fixed pegging relation ship .generally we have automatic fixed pegging and manual fixed pegging .
Example :
1) created sale order and triggered GATP
2)It calls CTP where SAP_PP_019 is run and coresponding planning takes place and pegging relation ship are generated in product view
3)when I Trigger Gatp to same sales order .why the pegging losses as it is fixed pegging so it should not break while converting to production order ?????
please correct if am wrong in any of 3 steps
Thanks & Regards
Virender

Virender,
Expert Pravin has answered your question about Planning Procedures
I will make two small comments. In my CTP experience, I have never seen anyone use the SAP_PP_019 heuristic as a CTP heuristic. 019 is a pegging heuristic, and typically CTP uses some type of material planning heuristic (e.g. create supply elements). I am not saying that your heuristic is wrong, I am only saying that I have never seen it used in such a way.
I have further never seen an implementation for CTP where there were more than 2 different planning procedures in use.
You did not ask for it, but let me give you a small piece of advice. CTP and multilevel planning are not simple or trivial subjects. From your responses about planning procedures, I will draw the conclusion that your experience in this area is...somewhat limited.
Yes, you can go to SCN and ask for advice, and we will offer whatever help we can. However, the detailed troubleshooting techniques required to solve such a problem are not really suited to SCN postings. There are already 30 items in this post, and the end does not seem to be in sight.
If I were in the position of being responsible for solving this problem, and I had little experience to bring to bear, and there was no documentation which described the original solution in detail, then I would request local expert assistance to help me in this matter. If such assistance were not to be available, I would further request my management to engage an external resource to assist; one who has extensive experience in customized CTP solutions. A competent CTP expert can probably zero in on the problem in a few days.
Using only yourself and SCN as a resource, you may find a solution to your problem tomorrow, or you may not find it after months of searching. In most businesses I have worked with, this level of uncertainty would be considered unacceptable.
Good Luck & Best Regards,

How to exclude the manually create SAP PO from MRP Run?

Dear all
There is this situation that due to the long procurement lead time, certain PO is created manually in SAP in advance based on the sales order enquiry made by customer. (In normal case, we will create a sales order in SAP and then run MRP to create PR to converted to PO)
Most of the time, customer will confirm their enquiry so that we can create sales Order in SAP and this will make it just in time for our raw material to arrive. However, when the PO is created in advance without triggered by MRP caused by Sales Order, this PO booked quantity is often taken up by the consideration of MRP RUN by other sales order. And if later customer confirms their enquiry and there is no PO stock for this due to this stock is already considered by other sales order.
Is there a way that I can exclude the manually create SAP PO from MRP Run?
Please advise.

Dear Csaba Szommer
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for confusing you.
1. We are in a MAKE TO ORDER (MTO) environment.
2. There is this situation that due to the long procurement lead time, certain PO is created manually in SAP in advance based on
    the sales order enquiry made by customer. (In normal case, we will create a sales order in SAP and then run MRP to create
    PR to converted to PO).
3. Most of the time, customer ABCwill confirm their enquiry so that we can create sales Order in SAP and this will make it just in
    time for our raw material to arrive.
4. However, for the PO that is created in advance (not created by PR triggered by MRP caused by Sales Order), this PO
    On Order Quantity is often taken up by the consideration of MRP RUN by other sales orders.
5. It creates problem that if later this customer ABC confirms his enquiry and we create SAP Sales Order in the system, the
    stock of PO created previously is already eaten up by other sales orders.
We are using MTO and do not use Forecast. And MTO Strategy is set at the material master level and as such I do not think we can simply modify the MRP Strategy to suit this unique case, as for the very same material, in one PO it should be considered by MRP but in another PO, it should be excluded from MRP Run.
Is there a way that I can exclude the manually create SAP PO (for the case of Customer ABC email enquiry without creating Sales Order in the System first) from MRP Run?
