Time_Phase Planning _ Forecasting issue
Hello Guru's
I have a question related to time phased planning.
I m trying to use time phased planning with RP type as R2.
Forecast model is T and period indicator as T
When i execute the tracation MP30, the forecast values are getting generated normally.
But when i try to execute the trancation MP38, there is no Output. Means no forecast carriedout.
Appreciate if you can advise me on how to carry out forecast in background for time phase planning
Amit Patel
Hi there
We are using RP TYPE as R2, and when i run forecast using MP30 it is generating foecast values properly
When i try to use transaction MP38, the log says
Number of selected articles : 1
Number of article forecasts carried out : 0
Number of occurring exceptions : 0
Number of terminations : 0
MP38 is not working for TIME PHASE RP TYPE. if i change the RP type to VV, It is working fine

Setup of reorder point planning and forecasts
Can someone please tell me the setup steps of reorder point planning and forecast sets..
I hav seen the documentation but am complete lost
Need ur help!
EmmHi Emm,
1. Create an item for which the inventory planning method should be reorder point planning along with that provide the minmum order quantity & maximu ordered quantity and the Source type should be supplier.
2. Navigate to > planning > forecasts > Sets: to define the Forecast Quantity. ( First Forecast Set, then Forecast Line, then Forecast Items > inside this define the forecast quantity.
3. Define the safety stock by navigating to Planning > Safety Stocks .
4. Then submit the reorder point planning with parameters as restock – yes and name of your forecast.

SAP ERP - Demand Planning and Forecasting
Dear all,
my customer is a wholesale company. They want to use a component in SAP ERP (not SAP APO), in order to make demanding planning and forecasting for the materials , quantities and dates they should make the purchases in order to cover the demand of their customers. What is the component that should be used in order to achieve this?MRP can be used without production planning. SOP and Demand Management are not Production.
Nevetheless, if you want a simpler planning cycle, provided that you understand its ads and cons, you could go for Consumption Based Planning MRP.
See this link for details:

Planning item forecast consumption
We have a business need to use forecast demand to react and order long purchasing lead time items early and stock sub-assemblies to reduce manufacturing lead time. However our sales orders are for unique items (configured by outside system) , which cannot be forecasted as these items never repeat. It’s also not possible to create Product Family or planning BOM with Base model as assembly and saleable items as components because, saleable items keep changing (as they are unique). Due to this reason, standard forecast explosion will not serve the purpose of consuming the forecast. Hence, we are exloring the forecasting at Planning item level, which is a logical group of similar type of saleable items. Planning Bills will be created to include sub assmeblies and critical components. However now we have a problem with consumption, Planning item forecast needs to be consumed as sales orders for Unique items get created. Is there a way in standard oracle to address this business scenario? We are on 11.5.x and using MRP. Early response will be appreciated
Thanks,
NitinUse planning BOM which contains your sub assemblies or intermediates. Explode the planning BOM to arrive at forecast for individual sub assemblies / components.
Try using Forecast type : consume and derive in item setup -
Hello All ,
I am looking for planning functionality of CRM
My requirements are:
Allow to sales man insert forecast for year including products, quantity, and customer per every month.
This data should be used for planning later.
Some ideas?
Thank you very much ,
Rika
P.S. We are implementing now SAP CRM 2006 .Hi Rika,
i specifically do not know which module will be used for the planning functionality in crm for your requirement but what you can do is using BI and using keyfigure planning you can prepare the planning functioanlity and in your landscape when there is integration between BI and CRM it can be used to plan the forecast also.
We have done for CRM5.0 with BI and we done the KPI for the sales team to make sales forecast for the period month,quarter, halfyearly and yearly based on 5 measures like geography,product,sales rep etc. when the actual sale is done then it is taken from the CRM to make the plan vas actual forecast.
It was totally a custom development that we have done.
Thanks and if helpful reward points

Hi,
There are no other batch scripts I am aware of, you will have to create any new ones.
In regards to backing up with business rules and planning, that would be mainly be backing up the repository.
You can also use LCM to export your objects and this can be called from command line.

Difference :Automatic Reorder Point Planning and Forecast based palning ?
Dear MM Guru's,
As we See in throtical Concepts that
Automatic Reorder point planning and Forcast Based Planning Used the prevuious Historical Data.
Please explain what is difference Between them.
regards,
A. S.Hi,
Reorder Point Planning: -
Use: -
In reorder point planning, procurement is triggered when the sum of plant stock and firmed receipts falls below the reorder point.
Features: -
The reorder point should cover the average material requirements expected during the replenishment lead time.
The safety stock exists to cover both excess material consumption within the replenishment lead time and any additional requirements that may occur due to delivery delays. Therefore, the safety stock is included in the reorder level.
The following values are important for defining the reorder point:
- Safety stock
- Average consumption
- Replenishment lead time
The following values are important for defining the safety stock:
- Past consumption values (historical data) or future requirements
- Vendor/production delivery timelines
- Service level to be achieved
- Forecast error, that is, the deviation from the expected requirements
Manual Reorder Point Planning
In manual reorder point planning, you define both the reorder level and the safety stock level manually in the appropriate material master.
Automatic Reorder Point Planning
In automatic reorder point planning, both the reorder level and the safety stock level are determined by the integrated forecasting program.
The system uses past consumption data (historical data) to forecast future requirements. The system then uses these forecast values to calculate the reorder level and the safety stock level, taking the service level, which is specified by the MRP controller, and the material's replenishment lead time into account, and transfers them to the material master.
Since the forecast is carried out at regular intervals, the reorder level and the safety stock level are continually adapted to the current consumption and delivery situation. This means that a contribution is made towards keeping stock levels low.
Forecast-Based Planning: -
Use: -
Forecast-based planning is also based on material consumption. Like reorder point planning, forecast-based planning operates using historical values and forecast values and future requirements are determined via the integrated forecasting program. However, in contrast to reorder point planning, these values then form the basis of the planning run. The forecast values therefore have a direct effect in MRP as forecast requirements.
Features: -
The forecast, which calculates future requirements using historical data, is carried out at regular intervals. This offers the advantage that requirements, which are automatically determined, are continually adapted to suit current consumption needs. The forecast requirement is reduced by the material withdrawal so that the forecast requirement quantity that has already been produced is not included in the planning run again.
Reducing Forecast Requirements
- Reducing forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system also reduces future forecast requirements.
- Reducing current forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system does not reduce future forecast requirements.
- Average reduction of the forecast requirements
The reduction of the forecast requirements is based on average daily consumption. Actual consumption data is not relevant.
The system calculates the average daily requirement first using the formula forecast requirement/number of workdays in the forecast period.
The forecast requirements are then reduced by the quantity resulting from the following formula: number of workdays worked x average daily requirements.
Period Pattern and Forecast Periods
You can specify the period pattern for the forecast (daily, weekly, monthly or per accounting period) and the number of periods to be included in the forecast individually for each material. It is possible, however, that the forecast period pattern is not specific enough for planning purposes. In this case, you can define per material that the forecast requirements should be divided according to a finer period pattern for planning. You can also define how many forecast periods are to be taken into account during requirements planning. The splitting indicator is defined in Customizing for MRP per plant and per period unit and is assigned to the material in the material master.
Example: -
For a monthly forecast, the requirements date would be set on the first workday of the month because, for planning, it is assumed that the total requirement must be available at the beginning of the period. You can then divide this monthly requirement into either daily or weekly requirements. -
Very imp planning and goods issue
i have two questions to ask .
1)for what purpose cbp is used .that is will it used for any other purpose apart from procurement. what is the full form of mrp1,mrp2,mrp3,mrp4
2)can a goods issue happens with respect to purcahse requistions/.
please answer my queries i will appreciate u.Dear Meena,
CBP : It is known as consumption Based planning used for planning procurement of external purchasing material ie. supplied by vendor..
MRP 1/2/3/4 : MRP stands for Material Requirment planning & 1 to 4 are different views maintained to plan requirement through MRP by system itself.If you do all necessary configuration & update master data for all MRP view you can get direct schedule lines generated after MRP run which will be sent to vendor for delivery of material.In short its automatic procurement process.
Through Purchase requisition u cannot issue material .This is document to inform about the requirement of material which will be converted into Purchase order ort production order.
Consumption-Based Planning
Purpose
The central role of MRP is to monitor stocks and in particular, to automatically create procurement proposals for purchasing and production (planned orders, purchase requisitions or delivery schedules). This target is achieved by using various materials planning methods which each cover different procedures.
Consumption-based planning is based on past consumption values and uses the forecast or other statistical procedures to determine future requirements. The procedures in consumption-based planning do not refer to the master production schedule. That is, the net requirements calculation is not triggered either by planned independent requirements or dependent requirement. Instead, it is triggered when stock levels fall below a predefined reorder point or by forecast requirements calculated using past consumption values.
MRP Procedures
In consumption-based planning, the following MRP procedures are available:
u2022 Reorder point procedure
u2022 Forecast-based planning
u2022 Time-phased materials planning
I hope this will be useful to you.

Hello Experts,
We have below requirement.
Created sales order for a particular material. Planned delivery time is picked from info record for that material and PR has been created.
We are converting PR into PO and the planned delivery time is fine. Now we are updating the ASN from vendor with some prior dates. In MD04, the same got updated. However the sales order still shows the old planned delivery time only. How to get the new planned delivery time in the sales order based on the ASN updated in PO.
Example:
Material: A
Planned delivery time is 10 in info record
Created sales order. Planned delivery time in the sales order is 10. PR created with fixed vendor and planned delivery time is 10 days from the date of creation.
Converted PO.
Now we received the ASN from Vendor that the vendor will deliver this material in five days. So accordingly we are updating the ASN in PO with delivery date.
In MD04, we could the new planned delivery time based on the ASN. However sales order delivery still shows the previouls delivery date only.
How to get the new delivery date in the sales order based on the ASN update?
Regards
BalaThis is not standard SAP logic. Required delivery date on the original line item stays as it was when you issued the order. Then you create a confirmation (ASN) that is relevant to MRP with the updated delivery date. Planning sees the new date and acts accordingly, and also in the order you can see both "old" and "new" (in the confirmation tab).

Planning using forecasting in PP
I am using forecasting to plan raw materials. The way I want the forecasting to work is that it shoud copy the historical consumption as the forecast as an example Jan 2007 actual consumption should be the forecast for Jan 2008. In summary last year's month sales = This year's month sales.
I have created the forecasting view for the material but am not sure which forecasting model I should put in the Material Master to meet this requirements.
thanksDear,
do the following
Period indicator = M
Model forcast = J
hist period = 12
forecastperiod = 12
Initilization = X
tracking limit = 4
selcetion procedure =1
reset aumatocally = check box set
para.optmization = check box set
correction factor = check box set
optimization level = F
execute the forecast
selcet the forecast date
Forecast model = seasonal model
clickk on forecast
check box set - winter procedure
alfa factor = .2
Gamam factor = .3
period/ season = 12
click on forecast
here is the result waht you are expecting. see the result and come back

Cash Mangement Report for Liquidity Forecasting Issue (FF7A)
Hello,
This report runs on the basis of value date, which is fair enough. But the issue is the reconciliation of the GL balances and the report balance that vary for the transactions other than local currency.
For example, a payment made in US dollars (while the local currency is Pakistani Rupees PKR), the system picks up the last updated buying rate (USD/PKR) from the system as usual.
But once you view the same transaction in the above mentioned report, the system choses the selling rate (USD/PKR) from the system for liquidity forecasting. But the issue is that, we wish to see the details of foreign currency transactions with the exchange rate of that particular document, not the prevailing one, so that the balances of both GL and the report gets reconciled.
Please help me out, if anyone has already worked it out.
Thanks, and Regards,
Zeeshan RashidHi,
The logic for the system to use last updated rate, is that the forecast for receivables and payables are restated at the latest rates, i.e. the realistic values which would be received or paid.
If certain transactions are settled, the same needs to be cleared so that they are not picked in liquidity forecast report.
Trust this helps.

Change over from reorder planning to forecast -reg
Hi,
Currently we are using for some parts manual reorder point planning wth MRP type V1 and strategy 40
We require to change to forecast based planning where in we can change MRP type to VV and what strategy we have to put
any specific for forecast based planning
we use make to stock scenario only
as of now the requirements are calculated based on the customer orders and reorder point as per the current settings
we need the requirements calculation with past consumption values only then is it required to change the strategy to 10 from 40 ?

Planning Stucture authorization issue in SCM
Hello Experts,
Need your help.
In our SCM7.0 system, we have implemented FM: /SAPAPO/MCP_PERMISSION_CHECK2 for authorization check to Planning Structure Infocube. That is working fine.
Now Users are facing authorization issue in Prodcution when they executed transaction /n/SAPAPO/SDP94 with below message.
Error message: You do not have authorization for all the characteristic values selected Message no. AUTHORITY041
Analysis authorization trace message: " Message EYE001: You do not have sufficient authorization for InfoProvider ZDM_PLN1 with activity 03.
We have assigned customized analysis authorization and that is maintained with InfoProvider "0TCAIPROV" as " * ".
Earlier this was working fine in production but now users are getting authorization issue. When we tested in other systems, it is working fine.
I appreciate your help in this issue.
Regards
Ravi
Edited by: Ravi K on Jul 5, 2011 6:04 PMRavi
Verify the selections in the Production system v/s the test system. Are they exactly the same ? I can think of two possibilities -
1. User is attempting to access a selection where he/ she does not have access to at least one of the CVC's filtered by the CVC.
2. The selection definition should (but does not in your case) contain the characteristic on which the authorization is setup.
