Transport of APO DP planning books

I am using APO V5.
Is it possible to transport individual data views of a planning book?
The standard transaction /sapapo/tsobj suggests that transporting is only possible at the planning book level.
Thanks for any advice...

Well NO. There is no "legal" way to do so. Alternatively You can try and play around with the objects in your transport request. This would be the backdoor entry :).
Find out the DVIEW / MVIEW internal names and locate them under the object listin your TR.
Please try this in a test system before proceeding to production.
Cheers!

Validity of exchange rates are not considered in APO DP planning books

Dear SAP Gurus
There are couple of posts on this topic without any conclusive reply and so I am posting this again.
We plan and manage data in multiple currencies and wish to maintain the same in APO DP. We have defined an exchange rate type in the planning area which is used for planning purposes. Please note that we have defined only one planning area for all global products hence data is stored in one currency only.Exchange rates between different currencies for this exchange rate type are maintained in ECC and then transferred to APO via RSA1 using standard functionality. While exchange rates are maintained with validity (valid from date) in this table, APO DP planning books only consider latest exchange rates. This behaviour changes the data in the planning book every time there is a change in the exchange rates and is a complete nonsense.
I believe there is a macro function CURR_CONV_FACTOR() which can be used to bring exchange rates as key figures in the planning book based on validity but given that this macro works only between 2 exchange rates and we use 10 different currencies, its not feasible to use this macro function for all combinations.
Is there any other way to have exchange rates based on validity ? Does SAP has any guidelines / best practice on how to handle multiple currency scenarios in DP.
We are on APO V5.1.
Thanks
Zorba

Dear Nitish
Thanks for the message.
Unfortunately your observation is not correct. If you change an exchange rate with future validity,
currency data in the entire horizon (past and future) adopts to that exchange rate.
It doesn't matter whether KF is ready for input or not as data is stored in any one currency only in PA and conversion happen only when you change the currency in the planning book (column 0)
Do some more testing and you will notice the above behaviour.
btw, which version of SCM are you on ?

Unable to release transport request for modified Planning book from Dev Sys

Hi All
can someone advice on this:
We have included a new key figure to our existing Planning book, which is already defined in Planning Area. This key figure is just getting shipping data for comparison and is not having any impact on macros also. We inserted key figure and set the attributes as output only and all looks good in Development system. But when we created transportation request and trying to release request it is giving error "Test Call of transport control program (tp) ended with return code 0208" Message no: TK094
can any one advice on this
KV

Hello,
Please check with Basis team. I think this is not related to planning book that you are trying to export. A look in the message text gives the following:
Check the following points:
Feasibility of the transport control program tp
Parameter settings in the transport profile
Availability of the transport directory and the subdirectories (cofiles, data, log, sapnames, bin)
Write authorization for the subdirectories
Write authorization for the files of the subdirectories cofiles, data, log, sapnames
Release the request again when the error has been removed.
Hope this helps.

APO DP planning books - use of 2 grids in view

I am using APO DP V5.
I know that it's possible to have 2 grids in a planning book view.
Can anyone give good examples of where 2 grids have been found to be useful?
Would it be possible to have 1 grid for 'forecast' and 1 grid for 'history'?
Thanks,
Bob Austin

The definition of two grids in a data view (not sure if you mean that by planning book view) is only possible when creating a data view for the first time. Once a data view is created you cannot add the second grid as the Table 2 option is grayed out under Title section of Data View tab.
Good example of using 2 grids is while using DP BOM functionality and also in those cases where the top grid keyfigures are to be drilled down but the bottom grid keyfigures remain at aggregate level. So if you want to compare the forecast numbers in detail with the total budget then use the total budget keyfigure in Grid 2. Remember while drilling down, keyfigures in Grid 2 are not drilled down.
In you case of having forecast in one grid and histroy in another can be effective since the data in the keyfigures are in two different time horizons. But remember if you have history in Grid 2 then the data will be aggregate (assuming you have loaded multiple CVCs) and will not be drilled down which the Forecast keyfigure in Grid 1 is drilled down to lower levels.
Hope this helps.

Meaning of CONDET key figure in standard 9ASNP94 APO SNP planning book

I am trying to clarify the use and meaning of the CONDET (capacity consumption details) key figure in the SAP standard SNP planning book 9ASNP94.
Any advice appreciated...

Hi Frank,
This indeed is practical requirement wih no simple solution ( at least we did not find).
We created a background job for deletion of the stocks ( which were updated through IDOCs like your situation) at specific periodicity. The jobs were made as per planners with specific variants and when planner would like to delete the stocks, the job will be run.
Another option could to be copy the standard program /SAPAPO/RLCDELETE to a module program and check validation at the input screen, before calling the deletion program.

How to Retrieve Totals in APO DP Planning Book

Hi All
I want to see the totals coulmns in planning book data view. I know I can check the totals from settings> row totals
But this row totals disappears as soon as I log out of the planning book. Is there any way this row totals is permanently attached to the data view?
Is there any BAPI, I can use to read the KF totals?
Any pointers on this will be highly helpful
Thanks

Dear Vijay,
I doubt if there is any standard settings or configuration is there for this functionality. What i can suggest is either you add seperate key-figures for displaying total of all the periods and write macros to populate key-figure values in it. The second option is initiallize the key-figures for an extra bucket which is really required by the business and populate the total in that extra period by writing macro. By second method there will not be extra key figure required. Apart from writing macros you can use BAPIs for reading the key-figure and adding it and finally populating the key figure values in the key-figure but this is not required as macro is sufficient for populating the key-figure in both the cases.
Please let me know if you think any other better way of doing it.

APO DP Planning book cell entry or exit - macro way to validate business rules

Dear All,
We have requirement from business that Demand planner will key in forecast in respective KF, when comes out of one cell and go to another cell to enter forecast, we have to validate the cell value with 3 months average and if it is deviated certain percent we need to highlight with different color.
Note: Planner do not want to enter/save in between moving between planning book cells.
For example: 3 months average is 100. Planner wants to enter forecast in cells continuously for next 12 months without hitting Enter key or save. I want to compare the cell value with average and if its deviated beyond certain level we need to highlight the cell with different color.
I know that we have macro events will work when we hit enter key or save or exit or level change.
I am not sure this is possible, wanted to know any other way possible.
Thanks in advance.
Please share your thoughts.
Sreeni

This will be quite difficult to achieve because the planning books are designed so that macros execute after you press enter. There are 3 possibilities that I see
1 - If you allowed the planner to make all their inputs into the required key figure and then press enter, you could easily design a macro to read each cell in the input key figure and compare it to the 3 months average of another key figure then highlight the input cell accordingly using the CELL_BG() functionality as described above.
2 - Alternately you could create a dynamic alert on the input key figure using much the same logic but again these will not generate until enter is pressed.
3 - Another option is to create a macro that asks the user to enter data into a pop-up box which is read into a layout variable. This macro could be triggered from a push button. You could then do the comparison between the value in the layout variable and the 3 months moving average for that particular time bucket and present an error message if it is outside the tolerances that you set. Such a macro could run for all time buckets or for a range of time buckets that the user highlights. Your user will still have to press enter however. The use of some of the macro operators is below:
Overall I think you have to go with option 1 or 2 and generate the alerts at the end of user input
Hope this helps

Unit of measure in APO DP planning Book

Hi All,
We are using LB as Base unit of measure in product master and same is used as Unit of measure for DP planning area. I would like to use two different key figures in DP planning book where one key figure should display LB as UoM and other should display CS.
How do I achieve this? I tries check box option in keyfigure details screen in planning area but it does not help since Base unit of measure is same in product master and planning area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Harshil Desai

Harshil,
Maintain alternate unit of measurement in the Product master and then assign the alternate unit-CS in Planning book for the 2nd KF as CS by going to the design tab/option from Planning book.
Thanks

APO SNP Planning Book Show Product View alternative UoM

Hi,
I have a base UoM of BTL and an alternative UoM of CAS.
I can change/save in my users settings the in transactions /SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View) and /SAPAPO/SDP94 (Planning Book) to show the alternative UoM CAS as default.
The problem I have is when I enter the Planning Book, load a product, right click on the product (in Selected Objects), select Show Product View and then look at the stock tab, this always shows as the base UoM BTL. Can this be saved to show the alternative UoM CAS?

Hi Linda,
Try changing you user settings for a product in RRP3 Screen.
Page Menu --> Settings -->General Tab -->General Panel -->enter AUOM value (CAS in your case).
Note - The conversion only takes place for the products, for which the alternative unit of measure entered is also entered as the alternative unit of measure in the product master, or for the products, for which the base unit of measure has the same dimension as the alternative unit of measure.
Caution: Test it , how its affecting for other products which doesnt have CAS as AUOM.
All products which have BUOM as BTL will be changed to CAS when AUOM is maintained for them in product master.
Thanks

APO DP Planning book - Missing Unit values

Hi,
I have an issue with the planning book display. I find that the Unit Column is sometimes blank while sometimes, it displays "EA". I am not able to find a pattern in this toggling of display of Unit column.
I went to the data view/design and found the Unit Column is ticked. However, the display of Unit column is very strange. Sometimes "EA, sometimes blank.
Can anybody help me to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Ehsan Ahmed

Hi,
If you select unit colum in the dataview then it display Base unit of messure from product master. There are two reasons.
1. If you are loading different materials which contain different BUOM then it will be blank cause conflict of BUOM from product to product.
2. In the product master (/SAPAPO/MAT1) Properties tab SDP relevance should be blank (Relevant for DP and SNP). Otherwise there may be chance of Blank UOM.
Hope this clarifies.

Kishore Reddy.

Drill down performance issue in APO SNP Planning Book

We have a requirement where planners would want to do a Details All on the header for 1000+ products in selection.
For a situation where there are 54 products to drilldown to, we get the following performance in seconds.
Time Bkt Profile      180 Days      60 Days     30 Days
Loading                  14           9.98           8.2
Details All                 262            90.18           56
So for a dataview of 180 days, it takes 262 s to do a details all on a selection with 54 products.
We think we have the latest LC (KERNEL    7.5.0    BUILD 044-123-149-413)
We think we have required LC config
liveCache server has 32GB physical memory with 45GB swap space
CACHE_SIZE= 1572864 x 8kb pages ~ 12.5GB
OMS_HEAP_SIZE= 23GB (approx 75% of main memory)
MAXDATAVOLUMES=16, ~ 63GB total
Is there anything we can do to improve the response times further ?

Thanx Charlie.
I will check the notes and let you know.
We are doing a forecasting at the wholeseller,SKU Level.
We have 1 planning area, 1000 WPs, 1000 wholesellers & 800 SKUs for each wholeseller.
Do you think that SEM 4.1 will have any problem in handling data at this level?
For forecasting purpose we are using 3 years of past data at SKU level.

How to track Changes done in planning book....by whom.....in DP planning

Hi All,
I want to track the changes done in Key figures in planning book ..........mostly by whom .......let me know how to track the same in APO DP planning book...........any std..........way..........like R/3...........pl reply.............your expert guidence will be appreciated..........by rewarding the same..............Thanks...........
Best Regards
Sharad

Hi,
You would be able to tackle this partially by adding a new hidden key figure.
Refer the example below;
Kfig1. Stat forecast: Calculated using stat forecasting
Kfig2. Adjusted forecast: user normally changes this
Kfig3. Hidden copy of Adjusted forecast:
Using macros copy 1st snap shot of stat forecast to Adjusted and Hidden. once adjustments are done, use Macro to compare Adjustments and Hidden copy of original values, or this can be a overnight batch job to generate alerts
Hope this helps.
