Transfer Demand Plan to R/3
Hi All,
I need to transfer the Demand Plan to R/3.
Please let me know the importance of Period Split profile in the transfer profile screen.
we are using the posting periodicity in the planning book.
What is the use of Distribution Function?
Is it possible to transfer the demand in days for first 3/4 weeks and then in weeks for rest of the period.
Your input/suggestions are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Prabhat

Prabhat ,
Period split profile is used when your demand plan is calculated in a particular periodicity (say month) and you want to see the result in ERP with a more detailed periodicity(say weeks or days). In case your demand plan periodicity is the same as the periodicity in which you want to see the results in R/3 then there is no need for a period split profile. As the name implies period split , splits the value to a finer level.
Distribution function is used to assign weightage to the different periods. We divide the value of a period equally so iam not very sure about the distribution function concept. But i think , if you have demand plan of 100 CS for a month and you are splitting it into weeks (defined in period split profile) , and decide to give more weightage to weeks 1 and 2 compared to 3 and 4 then the distribution function comes into play . Not sure about it though.
Also refer to consulting note 403050 . It talks about releasing forecast to sNP, but then the concept of period split profile / distribution function is the same irrespective of the target to which the demand plan is released.

Transfer SOP plan to Demand Mgmt
Dear friends,
I have created SOp through MC88. And i wants to transfer SOP plan to demand management through t.code MC74.
While filling the data in the fields, i do not know what to enter in the field "Version" either "00" or "GP".
Please guide me what data to be entered in the "version" field?
Thanks
ShriIf i understand clear on your querry you want to transfer the SOP plan to the demand management.
1.In such case you can use any version.
2.But the version needs to be active .
version in Demand Management:
1. these are used to just manage the diff types of demand in the demand table just for recognising them
2. If they are active then they will be included int he MRP ELSE no.
let me know if you need more answers

Hello Guru's,
Request for information on smart documentation on the integration between Trade Promotion Management and SCM-Demand Planning from an architecture perspective how to configure for the give senario where we from APO demand planning, we provide baseline forecast into TPM and from TPM promotions values can be considered in to APO demand planning: can anybody give me some insight on it.
Thanks in advance.
KumarHi Praveen
There are several ways you can connect a DP system to a TPM. How are your interfaces and systems setup?
Option1:
Extract the baseline from APO to a BW cube, extract the data out of BW, may be using infospokes/open hub and pass it on to TPM.
2. Have a custom program written in APO-DP to extract the selected keyfigure data at the aggregation level into an interface or a .txt file into APO directory and use some data transfer service such as EDI to take this data and send to TPM.
In my experience it is simple to define an integration process. The much larger and complicated aspects are the date adjustments and the aggregation levels.
Date adjustments:
Understand the basis of the data in APO and TPM. APO is usually at the requested delivery date or material availability date ( when the customer like a store wants the product). However TPMs are usually at the consumption date ( when an end customer like you and me but from store shelf). Depending on the product and business style this can mean several days difference. Let's say it is 25 days on average, you need to add 25 days to APO base line date to get the TPM consumption date.
Aggregation level:
This can be product or customer. If the planning in DP is at product sku level and the TPM is at packs or brand level, you need to aggregate the data up before loading to TPM. The same with customer.
To me the most complex part of the integration is to understand and transform the data in a meaningful way and a strategy to sustain this integration by keeping both DP and TPM in sync in terms of master data. Also important to have a process for identifying exceptions and failures. you send baseline from DP to TPM and if it fails, how do you know? how do you trouble shoot?
Hope these help. -
Dear Experts,
In my Scenario Sales Deptt. Update sales Scheduling Agreement in SAP By VA31 and then MRP is running & creating Planned orders .
Now We wants to change our Process ,
NOW Before MRP Run we wants to transfer Sales schedule to Demand management MD61 , Where we can manually change Production plan which is not equal to Sales delivery schedule .
To copy sales schedule , I am doing Edit > Copy Requirement > Sales Plan > Total sales
Here system do not copy plan and shows below given error
u201C No production plan exists for product group XYZ u201C
Please let me know that how to copy sales schedules in Demand management (MD61) .
Regards,
ashutoshAshutosh,
???? VA01 and VA31 are not plans, they are sales documents (execution). If your question is 'does SAP support a direct copy from sales documents (such as sales scheduling agreements) to planned independent requirements, the answer is no. It would make no sense. Sales documents usually consume planned independent requirements, depending upon your planning strategy.
If you want your production plan to be increased, for the reason of planned scrap/yield loss, you normally enter that yield loss quantity in one of the scrap or yield fields in either the Material Master, or in the Bill of Materials (depending upon your planning methods). In this way, every time MRP suggests a supply order (planned order), it will suggest quantities large enough to cover planned yield loss. It is normally considered a waste of time to have a planner manipulate these types of numbers manually for each iteration of the production plan.

http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/EN/be/43bdd865f411d3b4e60004ac160649/frameset.htm
If your yield is totally unpredictable (according to your statements, this is not the case), then you would also consider using one of the standard planning tools (like Safety stock) to create some buffer stock.
Demand plans are usually not created for the sole purpose of accommodating yield issues. The most common reason to create a demand plan is to provide an orderly way to plan the entire supply chain in the most efficient manner. This is especially important when your customers demand a lead time that is longer than the total time to procure all raw materials and build all subassemblies for your finished goods.

Using the Demand Planning functionality in TEM
Good afternoon
I have been trying to use (in our test client) the Demand Planning functionality of TEM, I am wanting to create demand based on last year's bookings however I get no results. I have courses, which are firmly booked with attendees on them in last year. Is there a minimum number of courses and/or attendees required before a demand can be created? What am I missing?
Many thanks
DawnHi Dawn,
Try this:
Run the demand planning report using either S_AHR_61016220 or PSV2. Choose the event type which you want to create demand for, or if you have used PSV2 that is already defaulted. If the location is mandatory then put that in and run the report for the year 2010 (with all or the specified quarters checked). If you are running this for the first time, then you should get a screen which says No demand exists. Click on the name of the event type such that it is highlighted (where the cursor is on the name of the event type). Click on the Plan button (F5) and then click on the Plan button button again (F5). This should give you the various options of prebookings or bookings from the previous yea. Select the one you want, and it should determine the demand which you will transfer and save.

Master data for demand planning
hi guru's,
what is the master data for dp, from were we get & how BI is helpful in this.
BW integration to apo dp.pls help me out
with regards,
chinniHi Chinni,
Data from R/3 to BIW is transfered through LIS, LO-CockPit's Info Structures.
This is how the flow goes on....
The transactions that are executed in R/3 are stored in the background tables.
Data from these tables will be copied to the info Structures(LIS, Lo-**** Pits).
A data source is generated basing on the infostructure.
Data source is then replicated to BI, The Data from the data sources is then copied to Info Cube.
Once the data is there in your Infocube,
you create Characteristics value combinations and then transfer the data from the Info Cube into the Planning Area.
Once you are done with demand planning, you can either transfer the data to SNP or the demand management in R/3.
If you are not planning to use LIS Structures, then you can download the data from the R/3 Tables to an excel sheet and upload them into BI.
The transaction code for creation of LIS Structures is: MC21
If you have a seperate BI server(Apart from one in APO), it is best pratice to load data into the BI server and then transfer the data to APO BI.
Let me know if you have any more questions regarding this.

Transfer demand from DC to MFG
Hi there ,
I am bit confused in the following scenerio......
Suppose we have 3 DC (Distribution channel) in which demand are genereated ....... now we have 2 MFG plant which produce this material ..... how do we maintain in SAP that which plant will produce what proportion of the total demand ........
Thanks & Regards
KaushikHi Kaushik,
I have never tried this kind of scenario but i think this can be done using flexible SOP, using consistent planning info structure S891 with some modifications for distribution for plant level . Then you can transfer demand from SOP to Dem Mgmt.

Not able to Upload data in Demand Planning data view
Hi
I am trying to upload a csv file in to Demand planning interactive planning through " Upload Data " functionality
First I exported data from interactive planning , updated some data in file and again trying to upload same file.
I am getting following error
File cannot be uploaded
Message no. /SAPAPO/SDP_UPLOAD009
Diagnosis
File has no technical information or incorrect technical information.
Procedure
Save the file again locally. Make sure that the file has the technical information.
Could u please suggest what needs to be done
Thanks and regards,
Nitin LavheHello,
For using the upload data functionality from interactive planning grid, you need to first download the data. While downloading the data, please check the check box for "Prepare the file for upload at later time", and then select the option of putting the technical setting into the file or into the system. Either way is okay. Then try uploading the same file.
This should solve your problem.
Thank you.

Business Process: Final Demand Plan Key Figure in the past for APO DP
Hello APO process experts,
I have a BPX question for APO DP process owners, consultants or gurus:
1.- Have you ever seen in any SAP APO customer, that in their APO DP planning books, they chose or designed to update the Final Demand Plan key Figure in the past closed historical buckets with the Actual Sales?
Meaning that that in the Past closed historical Buckets, Actual Sales and Final Demand Plan, look exactily the same.
Meaning that they create a dynamic Final Demand Plan key figure so to speak, yet they did not choose to create a key figure that also keeps the Final Demand Plan as originally entered.
2.- Would you think that doing the above, without keeping any keyfigure in the planning book that actually shows what the Final Demand Plan was in the Past, is a good practice?
The Demand Planner could still retreive the Final Demand Plan from BI reports, yet, dynamically they could never really see it in the planning book.
3.- Do you think the above dynamic key figure would bias the Demand Planner's behaviour to manipulate the future open Final Demand Plan buckets to enter volumes in order sum to a monthly total, independently of what were the over and underachievements in the past (since they are not really visible to him) ?
I would really like your feedback,
thanks in advance!
JD LoeraHello Thanks for your feedback.
I agree with your point, and I hope that i still get more feedback from other Business Process Experts.
I am trying to build a case for my client, to challenge the decision of their initial design as this practice is going to hurt the Demand Management process, if what they intend to achieve is a true "unconstrained demand plan"
Much appreciated

Duet Demand Planning u2013 1000.150.700.3.0 (Server Component), 1000.150.700.3.0 (Client Component)
There are 2 ways available to create Duet Demand Planning Sheet
1. On the basis of existing Demand Planning Scenario
2. On the basis of existing Data views( with SAP macros)
We are able to create Duet planning Sheet with 1 option. But we got erro with second Option that is on the basis od Data view(with macros).
Planning area, Planning Book/Data view and Selection Ids are existing and active.All the Webservices given by SAP are released.
Duet is able to retrive the list of Dataviews avilable for the Planning Area. But it is failing to retrieve the Data View Details the Error is as follow
"No view Details were found Please choose another dataview."

Loading Demand plan data from APO to BW
Hi Gurus,
We have requirement as below.
we have to extract two key figures from APO to BW system
The 2key figures of APO will get data as below:
First key figure has to hold Yearly snap shot and 2nd Key figure has to hold QTY snapshot.
we have constrained production plan & sales plan keyfigures in apo demand planning and the requirement is to extract these 2 keyfigure quaintest into BI.
Data Example as below:
KF1: Yearly snapshot
KF2: Quarterly snapshots
Yearly data means from Jan to Dec and
Quaterly data is as below
Qtr1 - Dec JAN to Dec
Qtr2 (in FEB) - Mar to Dec
Qtr3 (in May) - Jun to Dec
Qtr4 (in Aug) - Sep to Dec
so please let me know to how to handle or extract these data into BW.
Thanks,
ShailajaHi Venkat,
Yes, both the key figures are ther in the same planning area.
But my question here is how to get that data into BW? meaning...
If APO/DP does the planning in the month of Sep 2010 for Jan to dec 2011 and the
values are like
Sep-10 jan Feb mar april may june july aug sep oct nov dec
15 14 13 11 10 11 12 16 14 15 22 20
Dec-10 12 14 16 18 29 20 18 15 14 12 17 20
Mar-11 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 20
Jul-11 20 40 30 40 50
meaning, If the planning is done in the month of Sep 2010 for the yr 2011 as explained above that values should be extracted into BW and the next planning will be done in the month of Dec 2010 again for entire yr of 2011 i.e. Jan 2011 to Dec2011.
But the values should be captured as they are.. that means if i use DSO the values from request1 to request2 will be over written n if i use the cube they will be added up..
Request1 will hold data of Sep2010: planning data
Request2 wil hold Dec 2010 data ....n req3 will hold data of Mar 11...
but users want to see the values or planning figures as they are.
Hope i made my requimrent more detailled.
Please let me know the solution to get the data as it is in BW.
Thanks,

What is best practice to do APO Demand planning
Hi,
My client wants to implement demand planning.
Client has come up with one scenario like a New Customer is created in ECC, and if I use BI and then APO flow ( ECC -> BI -> APO-BI) for Demand planning, user will have to wait for another day. (AS BI is always having one day delay).
For this scenarios user is insisting on ECC and APO-DP interface.
Will anybody suggest what should be the best practice for Demand planning.
ECC -> Standalone BI -> Planning area (Planning is done in APO) -> Stand alone BI
Or ECC -> APO-DP (Planning is done in APO) -> Standalone BI system
I hope I am able to explain my scenario.
Regards,
STHi Sujoy,
Thanks for reply.
(1) I have to get Sales Order data from ECC into BI standalone system Cube.
(2) Then from this cube same data is sent to SCM APO - BI Cube.
(3) Planning will be done in SCM APO.
(4) Planned data is again sent to BI standalone system, Using datamart on Planned area.
(5) In BI we will have reporting on cube, which has ECC sales order data and APO Planned data.
But in this case, there is always delay between data loads (firstly ECC -> BI, then BI -> APO, then APO -> BI).
In this case, if a new customer is created, Client wants to see demand planning in latest data.
How do we do APO DP generally?
Do we follow the route from BI, or directly between ECC and APO..
Hope I am able to explain the scenario.. -
