Hello!

I bring goods from Factory to my country. Both are managed in the same SAP.

Factory see my forecast, and every day TLB suggest how much it is needed to load for my country and when.

TLB propose load every day, and propose to load only the quantity of 1 day of forecast. Problem is that I only have 1 truck per week. I would need that TLB propose load once per week, and besides I need TLB propose to load the weekly forecast.


I would appreciate if someone can help me,


Thank you very much in advance,

With reference to the note SAP Note 503294 - Info on Optimizer Production Lot Size

http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/503294

 

There is an issue that the CY08 to CS01 PPM, do not pick up the Rounding value or lot size correctly.

Objective is to Let PPM to read the output Lot size (10000) and do not create the small number Planned orders.

 

Please find the data detial in the attachment.

 

Could you please help to have a look at the detail and give some light on this ?

fetch notes(text) entered for a keyfigure in Planning book into the XYZ field of datasource

Hi Experts,

 

My requirement is to fetch notes(text) entered for a keyfigure in Planning book into the XYZ field of datasource(datasource generated from Planning Area and enhanced the datasource with XYZ field).This notes is visible in TCode /SAPAPO/SDP_NOTES  for a particular line item.

I tried using  FM  /SAPAPO/MSDP_NOTE_READ passing DOCID(retrieved DOCID from /1APO/F530000022 table) but it returned nothing.
Also tried using  FM  /SAPAPO/MSDP_NOTE_WRITE passing DOCID, it returned values .But when I pass these values in FM READ_TEXT, it returned nothing.

/SAPAPO/MSDP_NOTE_READ has two import parameters: DOCID, DOCID25.

How to get DOCID,DOCID25 values.

Please suggest whether approach is correct to get the notes into the datasource.

 

Thanks,

Assign product to transportation line with cost function

$

Hello guys,

 

I'm facing a problem when I want to create a cost function assigned to product on transportation lane through CIF interface.

The goal is to see in transaction for Transportation Lanes (/SAPAPO/SCC_TL1) cost function with its value.

We have implemented BADI /SAPAPO/PWB_TPSRC_IN, which is called before the transportation lane is created.

 

Here is a raw description of two solutions, which I have already tried, but without success.

 

1. Filling internal tables in method PUR_TPSRC_IN_COSTS_EXIT of mentioned BADI.

I tried several attempts with filling existing/non-existing COSID+COSEX+CSINT into the internal tables, but it's still not visible.

I can see the data stored in tables /sapapo/snp14 - 16, but PCOST and PCOSTID are not populated to table /sapapo/trprod, where it has to be.

 

2. Create TL and assign product via BADI using save BAPI.

I created cost function in advance with FM /SAPAPO/MSNP_COSTFUNC_DB_PUT, saved the TL and product with BAPI_PRDSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2 and then do the cost function update with  /SAPAPO/TR_TLANE_POST.

This solution was working, but only when I did the transfer from ECC system to APO one time.

For another run (doesn't mind if it's via CFM2 or RIMODINI) it creates a duplicity assignment to the TL.

Furthermore I have a feeling, that it's not good approach to save within this BADI data to database. Should be used only for preparation, right?

 

So, please, could you advise me where/how to fill cost function when transfering product/tl from ECC to APO?

 

Thank you for any tips.

Excel Copy paste not working after multiple drilldowns

$
0
0

Hi

 

We are seeing that when we do multiple drilldowns in DP planning books and you paste a bunch of numbers from excel, the totals are not getting updated. The system is strangely not even recognizing some of the numbers pasted, even though they are still displayed. When we save and refresh, these numbers not recognized disappear and the numbers counted into totals before stays.

 

Example:

 

We have a region named NA100 that has 2 plants and each plant has 2 materials.

 

We load region NA100 into DP planning books, then drill down to both plants, copy from excel and paste 1000 and 2000 as forecast for each plant. The system counts these into totals and show the Total for both plants as 3000 at regiona NA100 level.

 

But if I drill down another level to materials:  now I have region NA100 - Plants 1 and 2 and each plant has 2 materials ( total 4 materials). Then I am copy pasting forecast for the 4 materials, let's say 100, 250, 300& 400 at the lowest level and press enter or save, the system is inconsistent and is not always considering all 4 numbers into totals. Some time I am seeing only 350 taking 100 and 250 into consideration, even though the system displays 300 and 40, it is not counting them into totals.

 

Has any one seen this behavior? This looks like a bug but could not find any SAP notes directly addressing this...

 

Thanks,

KP

Hello!

I bring goods from Factory to my country. Both are managed in the same SAP.

Factory see my forecast, and every day TLB suggest how much it is needed to load for my country and when.


In a lot of materials, in MM03, I have periodic lot size of 3 days.

My question is: Does this parameter any effect in TLB proposal to my warehouses? Does this parameter any effect in my replenishment?

If not, What is this parameter for?

Missing fields in datasource from APO

$

Hello,

 

We are running BW in an SAP APO system. A new key figure was added to the APO system and should be available to extract from APO to a target DSO. However, the new field does not show up in the datasource and the transported transformation is unable to import the corresponding rule. This is in our QA system, it does show up and work fine in our test system. In RSA6 the datasource displays the field as hidden, but there is no corresponding entry in the ROOSFIELD table.

 

Any assistance would be appreciated.

 

Thank you,

APO DP - Macro Run at Lowest Level - Interactive

$
0
0

Hello All,

 

I have the following business scenario:

 

1- We have one planning book and two data views

2- In the first data view we have 3 key figures (KF1, KF2 and KF3) and a default macro. Default macro does the following calculation:

 

KF3 = KF1 + KF2

 

3- In the second data view we have two key figures (KF3 and KF4) and no macro.

 

When we enter interactive planning screen and make a change in KF1 and KF2; KF3 is calculated automatically. When I save the data, I can see the same number at the same level in Dataview 2 that I saved the data in Dataview 1.

 

Up to this point there is no problem. However, when I disaggregate data to lower levels in both data view, although the Totals that the data is saved is the same, the details are different. We may end up similar to the following situation:

 

Char1 (P)Char2 (L)KF3  Value (DV1)KF3 Value(DV2)
P1L1500
P1L2150200
P2L160120
P2L2160100

 

When we compare the data at P Characteristic aggregate (this is the level where the data is saved interactively) the sums are equal (for P1 it is 200 and for P2 it is 220)

 

However lower levels are different. I want all levels to be equal and consistent in both dataviews.

 

I tried the following:

 

1- In the macro settings I changed the Execution Settings as "Details Only". However this does not work as requested. If the data is at P level in our example in the interactive planning screen then the "Detail" level is P. This setting does not mean that the data is disaggregated to the most detailed level (i.e. CVC level)

2- I tried to create a macro that will DRILL_DOWN to lower levels and assign this macro as "Exit" event so that each time the user saves the data it is disaggregated first and calculation happens at the lower levels, which will give us consistency. However we have 20+ characteristics and I do not want to disaggregate to all characteristics with this macro function. This does not look like a solution to me.

3-  Background jobs does not help me as I need a solution on the foreground.

 

Is there a way to run the default macro (or any macro in the interactive screen) at lowest level (i.e. CVC level) whatever the aggregation on the screen is?

 

Appreciate your comments...

Calendar is not considered by CTM on source location for distribution demand

$
0

Hello,

 

When CTM runs, CTM creates a purchase requisition on xxx (receiving location) and creates a distribution demand on yyy (source location) on non working days which means CTM does not consider any calender in source location. There was no GR time maintained on source location. When I create a purchase requisition on xxx manually, distribution demand is created on working days as expected.

 

here are the settings,

 

1. Calendar (shipping/warehouse) is maintained properly.

2. Product is in-house production in source location.

3. in CTM, Settings-->Master data setting --> Ignore master data --> "Shipping and receiving calendar" is not checked.

 

Could anybody let me know what could be the reason behind it? or what should I want to check apart from calendar on source location or CTM settings.

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Delivery blocked sales order is not visible in APO planning book

Hello Experts,

 

Help me out on my issue.

 

There was a sales order in APO from R/3 which was visible in the planning book.

when I set delivery block for that sales order (for whole order), this sales order (quantity) is not visible in planning book any more.

But I could be able to see this order in the product view (/SAPAPO/RRP3). the problem is that the order disappears in APO planning book when I set only few kind of delivery block. not for all. Here what I am wondering is what is the setting or logic behind for disappearing the sales order in APO planning book when delivery block(only for few delivery block type) is set for a sales order.

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi everyone,

 

 

I need to create a program for mass creation of Prod. specific means of transport, for already existing transportation lanes.

 

I want to know whether this can be done using any of the below 2 BAPIs:

BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI

BAPI_TRLSRVAPS_SAVEMULTI2


If yes, then it would be great if anyone could guide me with all the parameters that I need to pass in this BAPI.


If no, then how can this be done easily, for mass creation.



Many thanks,

SNP disaggregation according to demand wrong quantities

$
0

Hello,

 

We are trying to implement SNP disaggregation but are having some issues on the split quantities when running the disaggregation according to demand.

I have seen other discussions on the forum where the problem was that the Net Demand macro wasnt activated. That is not our case.

 

I am running some tests and I have the following scenario for example:

 

Location Product hierarchy

Header level: Product X / Location Y

Subproduct level: Products A, B,C / Location Y

 

Forecast Product A: Month1 1000, Month2 600

Forecast Product B: Month1 500, Month2 200

Forecast Product C: Month1 240, Month2 750

 

No other requirements exist.

 

So, lets make the clearest example: assume that the Production (Planned) at header level is 1740 in Month1 and 1550 in Month so after running dissagreation according to demand and order based I would expect same quantities as forecast (product A to have production 1000 Month1 and 600 Month2, product B to have 500 Month1, 200 Month2 and finally product C to have 240 Month1, 750 Month2)

 

But instead those disaggregated quantities, we are getting:

 

Production Product A: Month1 860, Month 2 610

Production Product B: Month1 540, Month 2 200

Production Product C: Month1 340, Month 2 740

 

In other tests with different percentages the differences are even bigger.

 

So what I am misunderstanding about the SNP disaggregation? Or am I understanding it well but the behavior of the system is kind of wrong or unexpected?

 

Thank you for you help.

Hi Gurus,

 

Thanks for all your support till date...

 

Here is another new requirement which I am facing bit difficult to address the client, experts please help me in resolving.

 

According to the client requirement, they want the forecast values at a product group level(aggregarted level) to be divided into product level(dis-aggregated level) in percentage basis and this percentage value we will be getting from historical key figure( average of last 6 months history data)

 

UOMJan'14Feb'14Mar'14Apr'14May'14Jun'14Jul'14Aug'14TotalAvg.% of his.Sep'14
HistoryTotal(A+B)PC54293818791112671810055034961826.8333

ForecastTotalPC625
Mat APC450.64
Mat BPC174.36

 

Total - total of six month history data

Avg - avarage of 6 month history

% of his - percentage of each material history data

 

here 625 forecast value should be disaggregated on percentage bases.

 

Mat A    450.64= 0.721023*625             Mat B    174.36= 0.278976*625

 

Please help me is creating MACRO and work in sap interactive planning book.

 

Thanking you in advance.

Change of Plant Location in Sales order and imapct of order history in APO

$

Hi All,

 

We have a business requirement whereby we change the sales order from Plant A to Plant B due to a material availability issue at plant A. However, we want to pull plant A into APO for the sales history via the extract since this is where the original demand was placed. As far as I can tell SAP does not store the original plant anywhere except for the Change Log. which is not useful to us.

 

I find it hard to believe that this is such an unusual business requirement that would require a development to solve this problem? Does anyone have any input they could offer?

 

Thanks,

Moving inventory of a material to another Material

Hi Gurus,

It will be helpful if any one can answer the below question.

 

We have a scenario

--> Product ABC (PLANT 1000) = Product CDF (PLANT 1100)

---> Inventory of a Product ABC is in Plant 1000 (DC)

 

Business wanted production plant to see the inventory before creating the receipt elements.We don't have plant 1000 in APO, we just have 1100 plant in APO.

 

In DC 1000 PRODUCT   ABC--1000 KG in inventory

 

In Production Plant 1100 Product CDF has inventory 100 KG--> Actually the total inventory we have 1100 KG

When running Heuristic APO need to consider 1100 KG and generate order for the requirements.

 

 

Can any one help me how to map Product ABC = Product CDF so that we can see total inventory in Plant 1100 (Production Plant)?

 

Please it will be helpful if anyone suggest.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Rajesh
