Time Buckets in DP

Dear All,
I have the following scenario in APO DP:
I have two plants: Plant A and Plant B.
For Plant A (Weekly off is wednesday):
So Weekly buckets for Oct 08 should look like this
W1 --> 2nd to 7th Oct
W2 --> 9th to 14th Oct
W3 --> 16th to 21st Oct
W4 --> 23rd to 29th OCt
And for Plant B (Weekly off is sunday)
So weekly buckets should look like this
W1 --> 1st to 4th Oct
W2 --> 6th to 11th oct...
continues like this..
How do i address this in ONE PLANNING AREA?
Orelse should i create two fiscal year variants and attach to TWO DIFFERENT planning area?

Hi.
If I understand your requirement correctly, you are going to need two storage bucket profiles. This being the case, you will need two planning areas.
Not only will you require two FYVs but also two Time streams to assign to the storage bucket profiles. In the timestreams you can define the order of your workdays in a week.
Hope this helps.

Key figure display in planning book with respect to Time bucket profile

Hi,
I am loading a key figure to planning area from the info cube for the current month. When I review the key figure in planning book with monthly time bucket profile it shows 85 for the current month. In the same planning book with weekly bucket profile, it shows 55 from the current week and future weeks and the remaining 30 goes into the past weeks of the current month.
How to make the total quantity 85 to show in the current and future weeks only.
thanks and regards
Murugesan

Hi Murugesan,
Within the Planning Area, the data is stored at the lowest level granularity that you maintain in storage bucket profile. Then during display, system will decide what data to show depending on what kind of time bucket profile you use in the planning view, and the time based disaggregation that you maintain for Key Figure.
In this below case, what time characteristic do you have in cube? Is it date, week or month?
If it's date, check how much KF data is maintained on the dates which belong to week which has days both in this month/last month e.g. if I talk about Dec 2011, how much data is stored 1,2,3 & 4 th of Dec, 2011.
This data would appear in Dec in monthly view, but in week, it would appear in the week starting 28th November.
If data is maintained in cube in weeks, then you need to calculate how time based disaggregation would show it to you in months.
If it's months, then you would need to find out how much data would go to the days in the past week of the month.
The time based disaggregation may be causing you some issues, but in that case, I would not expect 30 out of 85 to go in the past week, unless you have data in cube in days.
Data shown in weekly view for week starting 28th Nov should ideally be a small proportion of 85, unless you are using a time stream/fiscal year variant, due to which most of December is in holidays. The only other exception I can think of is that you have data in teh days mentioned above.
It would be best to help the business understand this disaggregation logic, rather than thinking of manipulating the data to shift to a later week.
If this logic doesn't explain your situation, then please provide the date/week/month at which you have data in cube, and what quantity.

A simple list with seven time buckets starting from the date report is run.

Hi All,
I am new to ABAP.Recently i have planned to write a progam which will help in planning the delivery of scheduled items.For a given sales Org. it will display all the undelivered,delivered items in a simple list and sort them with delivery dates.it will also provide a summary report at material group.For that i have used selection screen(LIKP-VKORG-Obligatory).when i enter VKORG Details i should get all the delivery docs for which delivery is not done or partially done.For this i have taken one more table LIPS
(LIPS-MATKL,LIPS-MATNR,LIPS-VBELN,LIPS-POSNR,LIPS-WERKS,LIPS-LFIMG,LIPS-MEINS) for tables LIKP and LIPS VBELN is the key field.when i enter VKORG Data in the selection screen ,how can i get the data from LIPS Table.Please explain?
Also report should be simple list with seven time buckets starting from the date when the report is run.The amount of quantity to be delivered should be displayed under appropriate bucket i.e within the bucket where its delivery date falls in.for ex:If the report is run on Tuesday 15th march 2010 then the start date 1 should be starting date of the week which is Monday 14th March.
The report will be summarized at Material Group and Material Number.
Appreciate your help
Thanks and Regards,

Sorry, sounds too much like a complete requirement you want done for you by the community.
Please work on it yourself and search for available information before posting specific problems only.

Time buckets edit/display mode

Hi
We have requirement as first two time buckets of the planning book would be in editable mode to the user and from the 3rd bucket onwards the time buckets should be in display mode.
How can we make the portion of the future time buckets as editable ?
Thanks & Regards

Time bucket not displaying in planning book

When I opened planning book, the time bucket is not displaying as it used to be. I tried to select CVC to be displayed in the planning book and got the following error message:
@5C\QError@ Insufficient information about read period transferred
@5C\QError@ Error reading data - Planning book cannot be processed further
Insufficient information about read period transferred
Message no. /SAPAPO/TSM231
This internal error should not occur during normal processing. However if this message is displayed, contact your system administration or the SAP hotline quoting the message number.
Any idea what went wrong?

Hi Nic,
Either someone deleted the time bucket profile, or else the periodicities in the time bucket profile are not in line with the periodicity allowed in your planning area.
Go to Advanced Planning and Optimization-> Demand Planning -> Environment -> Current Settings -> Maintain Time Buckets Profile for Demand Plng and Supply Network Plng, or directly use the tcode "/SAPAPO/TR30".
Check that your time bucket profiles ZDP_PBP_9Q & ZDP_PBP_5Q exist by using F4 help, and also select them to see what periods are used in the time bucket profile e.g. weeks, days, etc.
If you don't find the time bucket profile, then they need to be created (based on names, my guess is that *9Q will contain 9 quarters, and *5Q will contain 5 quarters). I expect that issue lies here itself.
If time buckets profile exist, then check the following:
1) Go to /sapapo/msdp_admin, select your planning area. See the storage bucket profile name in the "info" tab.
2) Go to /SAPAPO/TR32 (Periodicities for Planning Area). Give the name of the Storage bucket profile that you see in 1.
3) Check what periods are used in storage bucket profile.
4) Storage bucket profile needs to have lower periods maintained than the time bucket profile. e.g. assuming that your time bucket profile has quarters, then you need to have at least quarter maintained in storage bucket profile. Even if you have day or week or month selected in storage bucket profile, it's ok because these are smaller periods than quarters what you have in time bucket profile.
Also make a note if "post period" is checked. Note the name of "fiscal year variant" if that is maintained along with this tick. I hope you don;t need to go further but if above don;t resolve your issue, then we need to check the fiscal year variant.
Thanks - Pawan

Invalid time buckets profile reference

Hi :
I am getting fololowing error while loading data in planning book : " Invalid time buckets profile reference", and unable to laod any data to planning book
I have already done consistency check , initailised version , checked time bucket profile , storage bucket profile , and those are fine .There are no time stream id defined either .

Hi Virendra,
Check whether your time bucket profile falls same under storage bucket profile. I mean, check your fiscal year variant in storage bucket profile as well as in Time bucket profile. becz you have assigned the storage bucket profile to planning Area, which having fiscal year variant & if you are using different fiscal year variant in Time bucket profile, this mentined error will appear.

Unable to save Time Buckets Profile for SNI

I am getting this weird behavior with the Time Buckets Profile in SNI.
Whenever I Edit and Save the changes, the Time Bucket Profile reverts back to Years 0000, Months 0000, Weeks 0000 and so on.
I am using SCM 7.0 with the SP 06.
I have maintained the necessary Visibility Profiles for the relevant applications.
It was working until a couple of days and stopped from today. We recently added a custom view under SNI Details.
Any thoughts?
Kedar

Amit
this is not a Time bucket profile but a storage bucket profile
you cannot create or maintain it... its standard SAP structure for storing data in technical buckets
the use of this bucket is in interactive planning book if you want to see how the data is stored(which you seem to have used). This is useful , say, in explaining how the weeks overlapping two months has got the quantity. Again this is a temporary setting and cannot be saved in the planning book
SCM5.0 makes this a bit accessible by giving this as an option in the drop down icon for "period settings"

DP time bucket conversion

Hello,
For statistical reason, our statistical forecast is made with monthly time bucket (Gregorian calendar). The business requirement is to have converted the results in fiscal period month. After conversion based on the DP logic we are loosing 5-7 % from our accuracy.
How we can fix that difference?
Any idea would be appreciated.
Thanks, Marius

Marius,
If you are forecasting at an aggregated level (most companies do), and you have chosen the conversion method of disaggregating months down to days, and then re-aggregating back up to fiscal periods, then 5-7% difference is not unreasonable. You might be able to achieve better precision by tweaking a few things, or by creating a custom ABAP conversion routine.
Seriously, though, how much effort do you really want to spend on this? High levels of precision in a forecast are generally inconsequential. Remember, it is just a forecast, which is a prediction of the future. When you consider the most common forecast KPI, ( forecast vs actual), a world class forecasting process will only yield 80% accuracy. In many companies, using a forecast that is 'imprecise' by 5% is generally not worth the time and money to improve.
Best regards,

Grouping by time buckets

I have an sql that does some counts by hour for the last 24 hours. I wanted to change this to use for the last 4 hours but instead of 24 buckets I wanted 16 buckets of 15 minutes each.
For the last 4 hours in hour buckets seem to work fine. But for the last 4 hours in 16 buckets, doesn't work fine as it seems to give me the totals for the 1 bucket and repeats the same for the rest of the 15. Could some look let me know what I'm doing wrong here, thanks.

I'm not sure if ntile would work in this case, since ntile puts them into equal number of buckets. But we want them to be divided by time range as in 15 minutes of 16 buckets fro 4 hours. But if there are more number of records in say one 15 minute cycle, some of these records will be pushed to the next cycle as it tries tp put them in equal buckets.

Time Buckets with multiple Key Figures in Each

Hello Experts,
I have seen documents creation of ageing buckets and calculations but not seen any document with ageing bucket having multiple Key Figures part of it.
User's have used Excel to create Bucket header and using V and H lookups they are populating data in to those columns. Is there a way we can achieve this in Bex Designer? Below is what needed on report which would give user's overview of Current Week, Previous Week, Last 4 weeks and Last 13 weeks. I have attached Snapshot for better Understanding
From Excel--->

Hi Sam
If week is your time period analysis then create a structure in columns, above your key figures, based on week selections variable.

I don't think that you will find such a document.

Unable to populate the values to all time buckets for previous year.

HI BW GURU'S,
Please treat this as very Urgent . I have to deliver it by MONDAY ..
Reguest you to mail be back.
Reporting on ODS: FI-AR ODS ATB Report.
I have created the report which is working fine for all buckets to the current date.0P_KEYD2,and 0P_KEYDT these 2 SAP exits i have used for posting date and net due date for offset values.it's working fine for current date.
When i am giving the date like 2004 evrthing is coming under over 365 bucket only my requiremnt is i want the snap shot as if iexecute the report on the same day like it should populate the values to which bucket it falls.
Cabn anyone pls help me in this.
Advance thanks.

I have solved this onmy own.
the solution at present i have done on Posting date as key date.but we have to take it on Net Due date.

Macros and Data View time bucket difference

Hi,
Our client is having a macro for a dataview wherein in one of the macro step, we have a condition where the values are checked for a bucket which I dont see in the data view. For example, in the macro, we have a condition for W06/2009 while in the data view, the column starts with W10/2009. What might be the reason for this? Or else, is this a mistake?
Regards,
Guru.

Hi Biplabk,
This is in response to your solution tht Macros will work on the data of the Live CAche and are not concerned of the period views in the planning book. But if that is the case, why would we have macros specific to the planning book?
So, what i am thinking is that, the macros will operate only on that data which are shown in the data view and not the other.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,
Guru Charan K.

How is affected the forecast correctness if I change the Time Bucket.

How is affected the forecast correctness if I have a monthly bucket, but now I want to have a daily bucket?
This desition could impair the performance drastically?. How many periods the engine has in count to forecast when is a daily system?
If I have daily system however my worksheets could group months or weeks, it isn't true?
Edited by: user10586948 on Jan 9, 2013 8:29 AM

The daily bucket configuration is usually discouraged due to various reasons:-
1.Performance issue. Your data volume would be very high as you would maintain sales record on a daily basis
2.Difficult to get good Forecast Accuracy. This point is heavily dependent on customer business. In general, unless you are getting the Demand stream from POS, you may not get a very good pattern in daily bucket.
3.You may not be able to get a good forecast after 3 months or so (technically feasible to get this for longer duration). An extra tuning exercise would be required
The only advantage is on reporting side. You can aggregate the data on Week as well as on calendar month (not 445). Currently, week aggregation to calendar month is not supported (till 7.3.1.4) but it is one of the expected features in 12.2.
Hope, this helps.
Thanks, Kunal

Time buckets

Hi gurus,
I have couple of tests to be performed.
1) We have a planning book that has future horizon of 2 years.A new data view is created with first 26 weeks in weeks and the rest of the horizon is in months. When I create test data and run the macro to calculate the total forecast how will the data appear during the rolling period of last 26th weeks and the 1st month?
2) From the above PB, DP data is released to SNP. In SNP we have the two year horizon.. with first 6 weeks in days, next 10.5 months in weeks and the rest 1 year in 12months. How will the data be dis aggregated? Is there any configuration to be performed? Kindly reply with detailed steps and transaction codes.
This is only for display for forecast, All the data is stored in weekly storage buckets in livecache.
Any quick responses are highly appreciated.
Sai

Hi Sai
1. Standing on 11/20/2011 the first week is dated 11/14 and the 26th week falls on 7th of May 2012. The monthly bucket starts from June 2012 and goes on till Oct 2012. This is how the total 2 years with first 26 weeks and rest months will look like in the planning book.
2. Through /SAPAPO/DFCT maintain the proportional factor (weights to be considered while splitting) that needs to be consider while distributing the total forecast from week to day bucket and another for month to week as per your requirement. Assign this distribution function to the Split Profile through /SAPAPO/SDP_SPLIT . In the split profile have 3 levels of details: from Week to Days, Month to Weeks and Month to Month with the corresponding Distribution Function. This Split Profile needs to be assigned to Period Split Profile in /SAPAPO/MC90 during release from DP to SNP. Besides this Split Profile, a Planning Bucket Profile representing Days, Week and Months periodicity of the total 2 year horizon needs to be assigned along with other relevant parameters.
Does that help.
