Hi,
Transferring SOP to Demand Management :
Use:
You can pass on data planned in Flexible Planning or Standard SOP to Demand Management.
Demand Management determines the requirement dates and requirement quantities for important assemblies and specifies the strategies for planning and producing/procuring finished products. The result of Demand Management is the demand program. The demand program differentiates planned independent requirements and customer independent requirements. It gives the information needed in MPS and MRP for planning at SKU level. The placing of sales orders eventually consumes planned requirements and triggers updating to the Sales Information System. This actual data can then be used as input for future sales planning. For more information, see PP Demand Management.
Prerequisites:
The system distributes the data to the appropriate plants in Demand Management on the basis of the quotas you set in Customizing (in Define proportional distribution across plants). You can also make these settings in the Flexible Planning or Standard SOP menu by choosing Settings ® Plant distribution. Plant distribution works as follows:
If a plant or plants can be found for the material in the planning hierarchy, data is transferred to Demand Management for these plants.
If no plant can be found in the planning hierarchy, the system checks to see which plants have been maintained for the material in the material master record. It then checks to see whether distribution quotas have been maintained for the material. If quotas have been maintained, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas.
If no distribution quotas are found for the material, the system checks to see whether you have set generic distribution quotas; that is, distribution quotas that apply to all materials. If so, the transfer to Demand Management is based on these quotas. If generic quotas exist for some but not all plants maintained in the material master record, the system assumes that the distribution quotas of plants without generic quotas are 0.
If no distribution quotas are found at allu2014neither material-specific nor generic onesu2014, the system splits the data equally among all the plants in the material master record.
See also:
Plant Distribution Quotas
Features
Independent requirements are created in Demand Management for all materials whose data has been transferred. These independent requirements are created in the base unit of measure of the material. The base unit of measure of the material is not necessarily the same as the base unit of measure of the information structure or the unit in which you planned the material. See also Switching Units in the Planning Table.
You can transfer SOP data to Demand Management in the following ways:
Transferring Online, Synchronously and Automatically:
You set the following information structure parameters in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning (in Set parameters of info structures and key figures).
Field name of the key figure whose values are to be transferred
Planning version from which the data is to be transferred
Demand version to which the data is to be transferred
The system creates or overwrites independent requirements in Demand Management every time you save this planning version of the information structure in Flexible Planning.
Transferring Online, Asynchronously and Manually
You choose between the following options:
Transfer of the planning data of all members of a single-level product group from standard SOP (a single-level product group is a product group whose members are materials)
Transfer of the planning data created for one material from standard SOP
Transfer of key figure values from an information structure
You make the following general settings:
The material or product group whose data you want to be transferred
The plant of this material or product group
The planning version of the information structure in which the data is stored
The dates for which you want the data to be transferred
Whether you want to check what the data looks like as independent requirements before you transfer it
The requirements type
If you do not make an entry, the system sets the requirements type via the MRP group which is maintained in the material master record.
The version of the demand program to which you want the data to be transferred
Whether this version of the demand program is active and therefore relevant to MRP
Depending on the option you chose in step 1, you set one of the following strategies.
Transferring Planning Data from a Single-Level Product Group:
You transfer the sales plans of the materials direct.
You transfer the sales plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
You transfer the production plans of the materials direct.
You transfer the production plans of the materials as proportions of their owner product group (using the proportional factors defined in the product group master record).
Transferring Planning Data of One Material from Standard SOP:
You transfer the sales plan of the material direct
You transfer the sales plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
You transfer the production plan of the material direct
You transfer the production plan of the material as a proportion of the product group of which it is a member (using the proportional factor defined in the product group master record)
Transferring Key Figure Data of One Material from Flexible Planning
The information structure from which you want the key figure data to be transferred
The key figure whose values you want to be transferred
This key figure must be a quantity key figure.

I am working on a Scenario of Transferring CO-PA data to Flexible Planning, I am encountering few problems, I have done the followig steps, request you to check and get back to me..
The following configuration steps are done with Example;
Characteristic assignment
u2022 Sales Organization
u2022 Region
u2022 Plant
u2022 Material Number
u2022 Material Group
Key figure(s) assignment
u2022 Sales Quantity
Assignment: Information structure - operating concern
S555 u2013 Z001
Define activities Z1
Mass Processing Job : ZSO-PA
We are able to transfer data from CO-PA to standard SOP, But we tried for transfer to Flexible Planning SOP by creating Mass Processing Job setting as below configuration path.
Production -> Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) ->Functions -> Mass Processing -> Transfer LIS / CO-PA
After executing Job MC8G - Schedule, we checked in Tcode - MC8I u2013 Check, Status: Processed with errors, And also data are not displayed in Tcode : MC95 for Material & active version.
We couldnu2019t find log for error status.
What is the method / Procedure for transfer data to Flexible Planning SOP?
Please get back to me.

Dear,
Status:            Processed with errors ok
Activities checked:? what is the error message here like
   COPY
       Planning type in activity and job not identical
       Planning type of job: SOPKAPAM
       Plng. type of activity:Z004PLAN
When checking a mass processing job in SOP/flexible planning (Transaction MC8I), in the log error message "Activity and COPA profile have different planning versions?
Or planned/actual indicator in the COPA profile?
Version should be        A00
Please check the MC8S. Then an Avtivity in MC8T
after you create the job in MC8D with the acitivity you have defined for your info structure.
After that check in MD62 for plan value.

Reg SOP and flexible planning

Dear all,
Please explain what is the difference between SOP and flexible planning, similarly in an industry when do use Longterm planning, when we will use SOP and when we use Flexible planning, when we should use MRP planning
Please advice
regards
venkat

Dear,
Standard SOP:-
Standard SOP, you work with one organizational unit, the product group hierarchy, and plan predefined key figures in a planning table with a set layout. All plans in Standard SOP are based on the standard information structure S076.
If there are more regions for an organization, planning can not be done at different region or different sales organization level using Standard SOP.
Flexible Planning:-
Flexible Planning, on the other hand, can be based on any information structure of your choice, either a self-defined information structure or a standard information structure.
If there are more regions for an organization, planning can be done at different region or different sales organization level using Flexible planning

MC8E: SOP to DM Transfer

Dear Gurus,
I'm using MC8E to do collective transfers of SOP to DM. When i save the job number for one material and execute the job, SOP is transferred successfully to DM. But when it is multiple materials already, none has been transferred.
Has anybody experienced this?

Hi Balaji,
So things are like this:
Without BW and APO, your demand planning tool remains erp-SOP.
In SOP you can use either standard SOP, where you can forecast based on consumption (from stock movements, not sales documents), or create your own planning environment using SOP-Flexible Planning functionality. There you can bring actual historical data from SD documents, and subsequently use that for forecasting.
Then, both forecasting and transfer to DM can be done EN MASS, using the mass processing functions (transactions MC8*).

Mario

Transfer to demand management - Flexible Planning

Hi everyone,
I was wondering whether someone has carried out the next process in the following scenario. I am working with flexible planning in SOP (level-by-level planning and dual level planning type, since I am working with product groups).
Now I would like to transfer to demand management some data stored in a ratio associated to one field (disaggregated value) in my planning table.
I tried to do it using the online mode but I just could transfer aggregated level values. I also tried to do it with batch processing (by creating a trannfer profile, then an activity, then a job and finally scheduling and executing the job) but there was an error message that looks like "No dual planning requirements allowed".
I would be very grateful if someone could give some useful information about how to solve my problem. I guess that someone in this forum has faced this challenge formerly.
Thanks in advance and best regards.
Ben.

Hi,
Yes, dual level was specified in the MC8A.
Thanks.

Transfer of data from flexible planning to PIR table when saving the trans.

Dear all.
I have a query regarding Flexible LIS Planning (MC93 or MC94). My question is about on transaction MC94. When I save the data on this transaction, it automatically transfers to PIR (Planned Independent Requirement) table. I donu2019t know how this been done by the consultant; is this a configuration, abaping or any enhancement? Any one has any idea regarding this please advice.
I am very thankful for your help.

Hello,
This is 100% SAP standard functionality.
Go to transaction MC7F.
There, pick your Info structure SXXX and go in the details of it (CtrlShiftf2 or loop icon)
In the bottom right of your screen there is a block called "synchronization of planned independent requirements".
Delete the data that is there or simply untick the requirement "active" check box.
Alternatively, in that same screen above in the right there is a block called system paramaters - the least setting is transfer to demand management with user exit - uncheck that.
Hope it helps.

Stock Transfer and Demand APO

Hello Everybody good morning,
I've got a scenario which i would appreciate your support.
The company which i work for we've got a sort of Sales Rep mobil. The stock usually is transfer accordingly their sales need by a transfer stock method into SAP and located into their specific storage location. Usually, this stock is often sold or it will be sold within the month. However, into APO demand forecast, this considerable stock "sold" is not yet included as the material was not effective sold, invoiced....
What i would like to know is, if there's any possibility to include stock transfer into Demand figuers onto APO?
Ie: Sales Rep. X / storage location 001
Stock transfer from Central Warhouse of 1 pc.
This one pc, despite be stil located into this Sales rep mobil, basically its sold, and i would like to know the possibility which this 1 pc be considered "sold" into APO. Is that possible? How could i configurated that this would happen? I guess that this is linked into Material Master set for this specific storage location up, am i right?
Well i would appreciate if anybody could adviced me into that scenario.
Cheers
CC

Hi Caio,
In demand forecast, usually this stock consideration is not needed to be taken care into account as it will be net off during supply planning run (SNP).
In case you want to net the stock off at demand planning side, i.e. SNP is not considering this particular stock at all, then the stock data for specific storage location can be pulled into BW (or any other system you are using for transferring data between ECC and SCM). Extract the data to a KF in demand planning and while releasing the demand to SNP, use (Demand - sold stock) KF.

biplab
