Transfer of aggregated sales plan

Hi Experts,
I have a flexible planning scenario as follows.
I am having depots and sales plan will happen at this plant level. Once the planning is done I need to transfer the aggregated sales figures of all the depots at material level to production plant directly. And the sales should not be transfered to the depot plant level as we need to have consumption based MRP at depot.
So how can we transfer the aggregated sales figures to a particular plant. I tried to create a info structure and tried to include plant and planning plant as characteristics.
But system is not allowing to create planning hierarchy as there are two plants in the structure. Please share your thoughts on how to do this.
Than

Hi Sapna
Hmmmm, in my opinion this should work. When you do KE4S, system checks the cost element category
I am not sure if it will refer the earlier Cost element or the latest one.. But give it a try

Transfer sales plan to md61

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,
ashutosh

Ashutosh,
???? 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.

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.

The transfer of sales plans into CO-PA

At the present time sales plans are created in the several info-structures. There is only the one unit of measure in the each info-structure (for example: mt, meter and others). Further, the number of different units of measure for selling products will increase only, especially for services. It leads to the fact where we have to create new info-structures and have to implement additional customizes and create a new chain for the transfer of data into CO-PA each time a new unit of measure arises. Also it makes more comprehensive the process of the sales plans transfer for the End Users.
We think that it is logically to create the info-structure, to collect there all kinds of units of measure and transfer the data into CO-PA by the one action. Practically we cannot to do it because we have to enter the one base unit of measure into characteristic and key figures customize area (MC7F). And after transferring sales plans into CO-PA all data are reflected in that base unit of measure, although initial data were in the different units of measure.
Also our attempt to transfer units of measure as additional characteristic was fault. In that case the system gave us an error when we were trying to create a task for transfer.
Is there a solution of above problem?

HI,
Are you using Costing based, Accounting based or both of them?
We are already tried to use enhancement COPA0005 but this produces a duplication of segments and a different values of characteristics between what is posted from FI documents and what is posted on COPA document; this situation is not acceptable by client.
Concerning to enhancement COPA0001 i don't know which table i have to refer to for obtaining number of sales order, since accounting document (BKPF) and material document (MKPF) are not yet posted so far. Could you please give me this information?
Thanks a lot in advance for your kind support.

Update COPA Sales Planning with LIS informations

Dear all,
I´d like to know if it´s possible to update the COPA planning with the information in the LIS tables.
My company already introduced the Sales Planning in the LIS system and now it´s required to reply this information in COPA tables. Of course, it´s possible to do it directly in COPA using the plannification tools, however I´ve reading that it´s possible to transfer data from LIS to COPA directly with a short customizing task.
Please, could you inform me about this process?
Thanks in advance.
ViTo

Hi,
You can transfer actual data from LIS to CO-PA using mass processing (MC8G).
1. For a mass processing job, make sure you run the 3 steps in the attached note 90292. Program RMCAMUS6 updates the LISPLF table with the PLOBJs (planning objects) of items to be processed. If this job is not run, table LISPLF is empty and you will get error MA367.
2. Make sure you have specified future and historical periods in your planning type (MC8B).
3. Make sure you have data in the infostructure and materials in the characteristics.
There is also additional information that could be interesting for you in the notes 80881 and 156972.

Sales plan Excel sheet

Dear Friends
I am implementing Forecast based MRP, is there any way to export Sales forescat excel sheet, insteaded of entering the forecast values in material master, we are neary 30 products. Entering one by one is a big process, laready they have sales plan in excel sheet, pl let meknow how can i export the sales plan excel sheet to the Forecast values and execute the forecast.
thanks
Shivani

please follow below process to uplaod external data:
You use this program to transfer forecast values from external systems to your SAP system. The program works as follows:
1. The program searches for the material/plant combination defined for external forecast.
2. Using user exit EXIT_SAPLMPR1_002, you can set a filter on the materials to be forecast externally.
3. The program calls user exit EXIT_SAPLMPR1_001 and transfers information on the materials to be forecast.
4. The user exit must have the forecast values from the external system at its disposal.
5. After the user exit is run, the forecast values are posted in the SAP system.
you will need to sue custome logic to upload the excel sheet may be using GUI_UPLOAD functyion module in above user exit.

Sales planning through MRP

hi,
Our client has a requirement for MRP.
From sales side they want to enter sales tentative plan which will be integrated to MRP.
Please guide me how and where to enter the sales plan/sales budget.
Thanks in advance..

Hi
It is not exactly clear for me what do you mean by sales tentative plan.
You may consider using Sales and Operations Planning (SOP) and then transfer data to demand management.
Take a look on the following document for more details:
Standard SOP Process flow...
In some cases, it is not necessary to use SOP and you can input your sales plan directly on demand management.

Error in uploading Sales plan in APO

Dear experts,
User is trying to upload the sales plan in /SAPAPO/SDP94 transaction.
After selecting the file when we click on "CHECK" ,System is throwing an error message that "call screen (not modal) in dialog box not allowed"
please find the screen shots for reference.
Kindly let me know if anybody has faced this kind of issue before,and help me how to rectify it.
Thanks in advance.

LIFA maybe deprecated but it still has usefulness and some prefer it over LINX for various reasons. But yeah new projects should seriously consider moving to LINX.
That being said if you are using an Uno or a Mega I've already compiled the binary and can upload it using this tool.

Sales Planning

Hi friends,
I need your help with the following issue:
The client requirement is to register in SAP a Sales Plan, based on the quantities they expect to sell during the planning period, they want to plan quantities as well as sales revenues. I can plan sales revenues using Profit Center Accounting but I dont know in which module I could plan quantities.
Thanks in advance,

More precisely the flow will be use:
COPA Planning> MRP>SOP>Cost center planning-> P&L estimate

COPA Sales Planning issue

Hi,
We are uploading COPA sales planning price and quantity to derive the Revenue.
Revenue = sales planning price * quantity
Currency = USD (as default 2 decimal places)
In Excel file we maintained planning price = USD 1.561 and Sales Quantity = 50000.
The expected results in KEPM after upload is = 1.561 x 50000 = 78050.
Once uploaded the results in KEPM shows:
Planning price = USD 1.560 & Quantity = 50000
The results is = 78000.
FYI - the planning layout is Integrated Excel and field for Sales Planning Price have been set to 3 decimals.
This have caused differences in reporting. Is there a way to make SAP calculation accept 3 decimals instead of 2 decimals.

KEPM will display the currency decimal places based on settings in table TCURX. In this case, only 2 decimal places allowed for USD even though the planning layout have been set to >2.

Setting "Aggregation For Plan" for Scenario members in Dimension Library

In the Dimension Library, I have a Scenario which has two members (B and C) which roll up to a parent member (A). Unlike the other types of dimensions, I am unable set the Aggregation as the properties (Aggregation for Plan 1, Aggregation for Plan 2, Aggregation for Plan 3) are not available under the Planning category.
If I view the outline in EAS, I am able to modify the aggregation for the A and B members directly but I'm unsure as to what impact this would have on the planning application.
Any ideas why the properties aren't available? The BPMA Administrators guide seems to suggest I should be able to do this.
Can I go ahead and modify the members direct in EAS?
Cheers.

I did take a look at the custom dimension and it's members with their storage properties both in DEV and PROD and there were NO Dynamic/Label Only members. Checked the relational database as well and it too showed that there were no members with Dynamic/Label Only storage properties in the custom dimension.
To my surprise this morning, when I checked the numbers in EAS the two columns had the same numbers. It looks like its fixed now as the IMPLIED_SHARE setting took effect and both the "Members in Dimension" = "Members Stored".
I noticed that the server team had stopped and started all the server again yesterday night sometime in DEV so maybe that's when the setting actually took affect and for some reason it didnt take affect the first time they restarted the servers Or maybe because I refreshed the database again from workspace this morning. I am not sure which one fixed it.
Thanks Celvin for your time and inputs.

Sales order item Qty check with sale plan qty

Dear all
How its poosible - While creating sales orer system should check sales order item qty, delivery date    with sales plan qty for that period. If total sales order requirement qty greater than sales plan qty then system should give error msg. System not consider stock & inward / outward mvt . only check plan qty.
in details
1> Create Weekly sales plan   - w.r.t Material & Plant   - ( T code u2013 MC87 )
Eg .   Material - FG001   , Plant 1001 ,   Week 11.2011 - 2000 Kg
2> Now creating sales order . system check sales order item qty & plan qty as per delivery date or week
Eg . i> Sales order no. 1 - delivery week u2013 W 11.2011   , item u2013 FG001 ; Plant u2013 1001 ; Qty u2013 1500 kg
Requirement : System check u2013 delivery week u2013 11 according to that sales plan qty for that material & plant is 2000 kg ;
total actual Sales order qty = 1500 kg . so condition is fulfill system allow to create sales order.
Eg. ii> Sales order no. 2 u2013 Delivery week u2013 11.2001 , item u2013 FG001 ; Plant u2013 1001 ; Qty u2013 1000 kg
Requirement : System check u2013 delivery week u2013 11 according to that sales plan qty for that material & plant is 2000 kg ; total actual Sales order qty = 1500 + 1000kg =2500 kg . so condition is failed , ( sales requirement qty > sales plan qty ) system should not allow to create sales order, gives error msg.
Thanks & Regards
Pramod

Hello,
I have made something like that, to replace the defaut Check by one that check purchase order shipping date.. Here is a exemple code for trapping :
You must place it in SBO_Application_ItemEvent
if ((pVal.FormTypeEx == "139") & (pVal.EventType == SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_VALIDATE) & (pVal.ItemUID == "38") & (pVal.ColUID == "11") & (pVal.Before_Action == true) & (pVal.InnerEvent == false))
                CheckAvailability();
Don't forget to disable the SBO Check Availability in the document's config form.
Sorry for my poor english and good luck
Chris.

Getting error while doing sales planning in COPA

Hello Friends,
While i m doing the sales planning in COPA via KEPM, I am getting the dump for ABAP Feilds regarding Volume and Weight.
Error has been stated below.
Runtime Errors CONVT_OVERFLOW
Except. CX_SY_CONVERSION_OVERFLOW
Date and Time 19.03.2008 16:16:40
Short dump has not been completely stored (too big)
Short Text
Overflow when converting from "1.12036e+12"
What Happned?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "SAPLKEAB" had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_OVERFLOW', was not caught in
procedure "GET_WEIGHT_AND_VOLUME" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
When attempting to convert the value "1.12036e+12", an overflow occurred.
As i m getting the ABAP Error while making the sales planning for Finished Product

My guess - because I don't know your system - is the system is looking for one particular type of value, but is being fed a different one. While trying to convert, the value foes into data overflow.
Check:
1. If the planning is in Alternative Units of measure and this alternative is well defined in the material master.
2. If a standard conversion routine has been assigned to any of the values and the conversion routine is not consistent with the data type / data element.
3. Check your upload file / data. Is there a column defined there that should contain data of a specific type (decimals, or number formats, etc.) but is not the case.
4. If all else fails, you need an ABAPer to decode the error for you.
Cheers.

Sales Plan in SD Module.

Hai SD Gurus,
Where Sales plan arrived in SD Module ? How it is transferred to PP Module.
Regards,
Mohanraju

Hi Mohanraju,
Sales Plans in Standard SOP
Various functions are available for creating and modifying sales plans in standard SOP:
Manual data entry
Arithmetic distribution functions
Copying data from SIS
Copying data from CO-PA
Forecasting sales quantities on the basis of past usage
Transferring product group proportions
Interactive graphics
For example : Forecasting Sales Quantities on basis of past usage
The forecast is one way to obtain planning data in Sales & Operations Planning (SOP). If necessary, you can change the forecast results after you have copied them to the planning table.
Place the cursor in the planning table on the key figure (if you are planning the characteristic view) or the characteristic (if you are planning the key figure view) for which you want to carry out a forecast.
Select the columns of the periods you want to be forecasted by choosing Edit ® Select.
See also Selecting Columns in the Planning Table.
Choose Edit ® Forecast. Or, if you are planning product group or material sales quantities in the standard planning table, choose Edit ® Sales plan ® Forecast ® Execute.
The Model Selection dialog box appears.
Specify the start and finish dates of the period for which you want to forecast data.
Specify the start and finish dates of the historical period on which the forecast is to be based.
In standard SOP, the forecast is based on consumption data (historical usage data). In flexible planning, the historical values on which the forecast is based are actual data; that is, the forecast is based on the key figure values updated to information structures from the operational applications. In the case of level-by-level planning, you can define the forecast profile such that the forecast is based on consumption data or on the consumption data of a reference material. You maintain the reference material in the material master record.
Analyze the time series and, if necessary, correct the historical values (see Analyzing the Time Series and Modifying the Historical Values). Alternatively, you can base the forecast on the corrected historical values of the previous forecast version by setting the Corr. vals indicator in the forecast profile.
Check to see if the forecast profile displays settings you want to use. If not, choose a different forecast profile with Forecast profile.
Do not try to choose a different forecast profile by using the possible entries button in the field Profile.
Choose Perform forecast.
The Forecast Parameters dialog box appears.
Define the forecast parameters for the selected model.
Choose Perform forecast.
A dialog box displaying the forecast results appears (see Interpreting the Forecast Results).
If the forecast results are not what you expected, check the settings in your forecast profile.
If necessary, change the forecast results (see Changing the Forecast Results).
Flag the forecast results for saving in one of two ways:
Choose Copy results if you want to copy the forecast results into the planning table.
Choose Save if you want to save the forecast results in the forecast versions database but do not want to copy the forecast results into the planning table. The prerequisite for saving the results to the forecast database is that you have not set the indicator Do not save to forecast DB in Customizing (the Customizing activity is Set parameters of info structures and key figures).
To save the forecast version, you must save the planning version by choosing Planning ® Save in the planning table.
Hope this helps you.

KPF6 : Enter Sales Planning

Hi,
Is it posssible to enter a planning by value and by quantity (Sales Planning) with Tcode KPF6 ?
Please If yes, How ?
Regards.

Normally Sales Planning is not done in KPF6. It is done in Profit Center Accounting, COPA..
Still you would want to do it, try to change / copy / create user defined layout, by copying the standard layout in KPG5 and check if you have Quantity field.

Sales planning : potential customers

Hi all,
I'm quite new at this, read some books, tried some examples. I need to make a sales planning query and to be honest didn't do so bad so far.
But I have some questions which seem quite obvious, but of which I didn't find any answers.
Suppose I have a sales representative and he forecasts to have 3 new customers for the next planned year.
How do you make a planning on those ?
You don't have any data about these.
For your existing customers, it's no problem, the data comes out of R/3, but what about potential customers ?
Do we need to create these in R/3 as being a kind of dummy-customers ? Or can I create these customers in one or an other way, in my real-time infocube ?
Thanks,
C

Hi Cornelia,
thanks, that's what I suspected.
I guess if I add a record with a customer number 999999 and some planning data that this will do the trick.
Kr,
Christophe
