What is "WITHDRAWAL:" and "ALLOCATED" in Forecast tab in RRP3

Hello Gurus,
The quantity and date in withdrawal and allocated in forecast tab of RRP3 does not match with MB51 of ECC,
also pls clarify exactly how it is determined.
Regards.

Hi there! Withdrawal and allocated quantities distinguish between two concepts - forecast consumption and forecast reduction. The withdrawal quantity represents the amount of forecast which has been "reduced" and the allocated quantity represents the amount of forecast which has been "consumed". Consumption becomes reduction when a sales order / delivery is PGI'd. Or, when an SO is canceled, the consumption is simply reversed and no reduction occurs.
Forecast reduction prevents "over-planning" for a given time period, meaning that the system "remembers" how much was shipped out to the customer so that the forecast shows in the system as "fulfilled".
For example, consider a day which has a forecast of 10. There are open sales orders of 5, and another 3 were ordered and shipped today. Assume also that there is no forward/backward consumption. SO's consume forecast for the same day only. In this case, the allocated quantity would be 5 - for the currently open orders. The withdrawal quantity would be 3. And the remaining unconsumed forecast for the day would be 2.
Not sure why there may be inconsistencies with ECC, however. If you give more specifics on the nature of the discrepancy, I will try to respond with some additional input.

Forecast consumption situation not shown in Forecast tab-RRP3 View

Hi,
I have released Forecast(FA) from DP to SNP.I am able to see the forecasts in Product view Elements tab.But I am not able to see any Forecast consumption details and overview in Forecast tab of Product view.It is showing if i create forecast manually in RRP3 view itself.How to bring the forecast data in forecast tab of RRP3 view.
Thanks&Regards
Venkadesh

Hi Venkadesh,
This is a known issue and can be solved by SAP Note 743646 - Incorrect consumption situation in product view.
Using a report, you can adjust the consumption situation in the element view so that it is the same as the consumption situation in the forecasting view. To do this, call transaction SE38 and create the report Z_CSP_DELTA_FCST with the title "Check of the consumption situation"; Type: Executable program; Status: Test program; Application: Materials Management. Delete the first line "REPORT..." from the new report then use the cut and paste functions to add the program to the correction instructions.
Try this out and let me kow if this solves your purpose.
Many thanks,
Amit Sen

Difference between Withdrawal Qty and Allocated

Hi!
Can anyone tell me the difference between Withdrawal Qty and Allocated in tcode RRP3 in tab Forecast?
In tab detail I have the Plan Qty (Forecast) and the Withdrawal Qty that most of days is the same quantity as Plan Qty and no value in Allocated. The category text is Forecast is this cases.
In other days, I have Withdrawal Qty different from Plan Qty and values in Allocated. I see that the allocated values are from orders or deliveries because the category text is SalesOrder or Deliv. and I see the ECC document number, but what means Withdrawal Qty in this and other case?
EX:
date                  material    location     category text Plan Qty Withdrawal Qty Allocated
12.03.2009     1270999     UN02     FC req.            726         726                       0
17.03.2009     1270333     UN02     FC req.          1.478         410                     60
17.03.2009     1270999     UN76        SalesOrder     0     0                             40
17.03.2009     1270999     UN769     SalesOrder     0     0                             20

Hi Teresa,
The forecast tab shows the consumption scenario.
It has Planned Qty. , Allocated Qty., Withdrawal and remaining.
Planned Qty. is the qty in forecast keyfigure
Allocated is the qty. allocated to the sales order by the system.
Withdrawal is the qty. totally deduced from the forecast once the order is PGIed.
Remaining is the qty. left in forecast
Example:
If the strategy is 10 ( sales orders do not consume forecast)
You have a forecast of 100 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 0
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 100
You create a sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 50
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 100
You create a delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 50
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 100
You PGI the delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty:0
Withdrawal: 50
Remaining: 50
The same above thing when the strategy is anything else except 10 like 20, 30 or 40 ( sales orders consume forecast)
You have a forecast of 100 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 0
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 100
You create a sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 50
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 50
You create a delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty: 50
Withdrawal: 0
Remaining: 50
You PGI the delivery for this sales order of 50 PCs
Planned qty: 100
Allocated Qty:0
Withdrawal: 50
Remaining: 50
Hope this helps.

Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?

It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

My Mid 2007 24" iMac has been a bit laggy on Yosemite and getting worse every day, so I went to the Apple Support pages on Apples website looking for help and thought I'd found some. This is what I did and it made everything 100 times worse :(

So here is what I found and what I did to try to alleviate the RAM eating upgrade named Yosemite. This guy has helped quite a few people, you can read all the comments and I gave it several tries this morning.

I post this hoping to help those users who, like me, are experiencing high CPU usage and massive memory leaking with OS X core services and apps, leading to slow performance and battery drain.
I've tried everything mentioned, but found the right combination of steps to follow. I've tried this with seven different Apple computers, including mine, and has worked well so far. I applied this method yesterday to give these process a 24 hour window to fail again, so far everything good.
First step: disconnect any external or secondary monitors, if any is present. The video memory allocation leak can also happen if you have a system with an integrated card, like Intel, with no external monitors attached.
Second step: Shut down your machine and enter Safe Mode (press shift once you turn on your computer again, more info below). Once you're there, fix your disk permissions.
Guide of how to access Safe Mode: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Third step: From Safe Mode turn off your machine again and reset your System Management Controller (SMC). There are different methods, depending on machine, to do this. To know what method applies to yours read the following guide.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Fourth step: Once your machine completes a full boot after resetting the SMC turn it off again and reset your PRAM (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, BUT THE PREVIOUS ONES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THIS ONE TO WORK). The PRAM stores small bits of data that indicate our Apple computer how to interact with the devices connected to it, including monitors and video cards. It also affects software.
To reset it you should hold the OPTION, COMMAND, P and R keys in your keyboard immediately after turning on your machine again.You'll hear the start up chime, continue pressing the keys until the machine boots and the chime starts A SECOND TIME, then release. IF YOUR YOSEMITE INSTALLATION LOCKS UP AT A BLACK SCREEN AFTER THIS, DONT PANIC! It's normal, just turn off your computer and let it boot again.
More info about PRAM: OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
Voila, reconnect your external displays and enjoy your system.

I hope to hear from anyone even to knock me in the head, lol. Thanks in advance and I'll be around trying to figure this out.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

The Other data on your iPod is album art, file allocation structures, your main library file, and any other data that the iPod uses to read its songs.
You can have it removed by going to your itunes and plugging your ipod back into it. Click the device then click the music tab then uncheck box that says include album artwork.. then sync again.. this time the OTHER stuff will now be removed.

Hi,
what is the exact version of the CRM Business Package:
-Business Package for mySAP CRM - Business Productivity Pack 60.1.2?
-Business Package for mySAP CRM - Business Productivity Pack SAP R3 Integration 60.1?
-Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0 60.2.3?
If you are talking about the last one, there is a SP for it and it is located at the same place where you downloaded the Business Package.
For you Sneak Peak, did you look at your log files for your MaxDB? It happened to me once, one of my log file was full and I did not set auto-backup or no backup on my log files. The server would not come up. I backed up the log file and created new data files. The server came back up after this.
Hope this helps

Thunderbird updated and closed all open tabs.

I often keep an email tab open as a reminder until I act on it. Sometimes I will have 10 or so tabs open at the same time.
Yesterday I left the house for several hours leaving my computer on. When I returned, both Thunderbird and Firefox were closed. They were open when I left.
When I opened Thunderbird, all of my open tabs were closed. I have no idea what they were and I could find no list of Recently Closed Tabs so I could reopen them. I can only assume that an update occurred in my absence and that's what was responsible for closing Thunderbird.
This used to happen with Firefox occasionally after an update but you seem to have fixed that. Please fix Thunderbird so that it never closes open tabs.
Thanks,
Bill

Bottom line is tabs live in a file called session.json. All sorts of privacy and "speedup" type tools delete this cached information. One of the really popular ones is CCleaner. In the case of Firefox they have an additional backups they can restore from, but it is only a matter of time before these same tools. but in the case of Thunderbird functionality is somewhat reduced. Manly I think because no one at the time thought people would come to rely on tabs. In the underlying code tabs are messy and really large parts of the "vision" await further attention. Thunderbird in reality only has one and the rest is smoke and mirrors hence my particular issues re reliability long term. Compose in a tab may see more work done on the tab part of the interface to make it more robust.
Having said that I have had issues with Firefox in the very recent past, but I also run nightly builds so expect issues most people never see. (Testing comes in many forms.)
Making your own backup of the session.json file is a workaround if you feel strongly enough, but personally I think saved search folders and tags are a much improved arrangement as most IMAP servers support them so your tags appear on your other devices as well.
My view is.
Tag mail as say "To do"
open find Ctrl+Shift+F
set a search criteria for tags contain "to do" set the folder and sub folder to search
click search to make sure your criteria is working and then click save as search folder.
Thunderbird now has a new folder which only contains your "to do" tagged mails. Search folders are a vastly under utilises feature (probably because no one knows they exist) but they make a lot of business type functions much easier. (they are what underlies the "unified" folder view {View menu > folders > unified} a collection of search folders.

When I open up my hotmail, it opens a new session and not a new tab. Why?

After I launch your program with MSN as my home page, I then click on hotmail to open up my emails. When I complete the log-in, a new Firefox session opens for my emails and not a new tab like it has done in the past. This has been happening for the past two to three months. What caused this change?

Check the [[Options window - Tabs panel]] and make sure the setting "Open new windows in a new tab instead" has been selected.
There are also quite a few tabbed browsing add-ons that give you greater control over tabbed browsing, and can force all new windows to open in a tab. Some examples are:

Using "+" I am unable to open additional tabs; if I use File and click on New Tab it will open. I don't have the Ask Toolbar. How can this be corrected?

Prior to today, when I clicked on the "+" a new tab would open. It no longer does that. However, when I open File and click on "New Tab" it opens just fine. I do not have the Ask Toolbar as far as I know (this was mentioned as a problem previously). What can be done to fix this? Thank you.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

What is kernel_task, and why is it taking up so much RAM and CPU?

I have recently upgraded to OS X Mavericks, and despite promises of extreme performance, my MPB has been running slower than ever before. According to Activity Monitor, "kernal_task" is taking up 600+ MB of RAM and hasn't dropped since I upgraded. It's also been taking between 4% and 8% of my CPU. When I first upgraded, there was a little alert message that said it was optomizing my system, and it may slow down the computer and decrease battery life. The message lasted for two days, then finally went away. (I didn't close it, so I assumed it had finished.) However, kernal_task, which I thought was the optomization, has been on the top of the list of RAM usage and top 3 on the list of % CPU since I upgraded. PLEASE tell me what it is, and how I can decrease it's toll on my performance! It won't let me stop the task or even get more information on it when I select it on the list of processes. Also, on a side note, Activity Monitor used to let you change its dock icon to a pie chart showing memory usage. Unfortunately, this feature seems to be gone. Is there any way I can get it back or use a different app? I don't want to have it open on top of my stuff or as a window, I would like to see it in the dock. In fact, the chart isn't even in the memory tab of the Activity Monitor application anymore!
Thank you so much to whoever can help me out in my panic and frustration. For the record, I am actually really great at computers, but I turned to the support community because I'm sure there's someone out there with more knowledge than me, even though I'm not a tech-illiterate person...

Also, I'm on a MacBook Pro 17" with a 500GB hard drive (and only 70GB free, but I use an external 2TB as my main drive). It is a mid-2010 build, and I bought it certified refurbished.

That's not very high. Mine is over 1 GB. Typical is around 5-800 GBs depending upon what tasks are running.
You don't need to add more RAM, just be careful not to run more concurrent tasks than are appropriate for your memory usage profile. It's really not a big deal unless it gets to 600 GBs. Then you have a problem.
I disagree with McBlob about free disk space. Keep at least 10% of the drive's capacity as free space. For you that's 50 GBs, and that's adequate.

I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar

Question
I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar. Tried f10, alt, nothing! Can I reload an old firefox? There is no firefox logo at top. When I rt click at top I see hide toolbar and leave full screen. To the right there is only a home sign. How can I get my BOOKMARKS ??????? I so need them and hate what ever this is that now shows up on firefox.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Hi, My mac book pro starts lag, after shut down is still the same. Every application is taking 3-6 seconds to open, if I type something in Word letter appears only after 2 - 4 seconds, Whats going on and how to fix it ?

Very slow performance
Even after shutting it down and restarting still the same.
Laggin a lot
Please help!!!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
A possible cause of a slow user interface is a large set of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Another possible cause is iCloud activity, especially Photo Stream synchronization. If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane and see whether there's an improvement.
Otherwise take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message. You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Windows 7 64-bit Adobe Reader 9.3 and IE8 - Opening PDF in tab and then closing said tab causes IE8

I've been running Win7 64-bit for quite some time now and only up until a few weeksa go started to have problems with Adobe Reader continuing to ask me how I wanted to read a document and to click here to save the settings and not ask me again. The check box never worked and it would continue to ask me constantly every time I opened up a new PDF file.
I finally figured out how to get rid of the nagging dialog box but now each and every time I open up a new tab with a PDF file in it and then close the tab, IE8 crashes and tries to recover the tab. This never happened before.
What is causing this and how do I fix this? Please advise.
Upgraded to 9.3 this morning and problem remains. Tried uninstalling all traces of Adobe Reader and reinstalling but still no dice.
Problem also happens at home on a similar computer running Win 7 64-bit and running an older version of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

Try this:
Right click on the IE8 icon in the taskbar. A menu pops ups up. Right click again on "Internet Explorer". Then left click on "Run as administrator". I had a different problem with Reader and this solved the problem. The problem I had was I could not save pdf files in IE8. This solved that problem.

What is "WebWatch" and how can I get rid of it?

What is "WebWatch" and how can I get rid of it? It just showed up on my home computer. It pops up every few minutes while I'm on line and drives me crazy whem I'm trying to work or just read. This is what it looks like. It's in a small box in the middle of the screen with grey over the rest of the screen. I can't do anything until I "x" it away.
WebWatch

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If you see that extension there click Uninstall.
