Calculations as Inputs to Supply Planning
Hi Gurus,
Key figures defined as 'Input for supply planning' that are marked as 'stored and calculated' are able to be calculated based on key figures within their calculation chains. This is very useful if you want to transform an input before feeding it into the supply planning eg days cover -> inventory target based on forecast demand. My understanding is that the one catch is that the predecessor key figures need to be at exactly the same planning level or it doesn't work and you have to do things like use copy operator to 'break the chain'.
In my particular case one of the upstream key figures contains a month offset via attribute transformation (ie different planning level eg perprodloc->perprodloc1) which stops the inputs being recognised by the supply engine.
Question, before embarking on time-consuming L code journey to do do the attribute transformation, anyone know if this will work. Ie will the supply engine recognise the inputs if some of the source is L Code?
Best regards
Andrew

Optimizer runs but demand fulfillment rate is 0% , Inv Target fulfillment rate is 0%
Hi,
We are configuring the optimizer to generate the best fit solution.
TWO customers, ONE DC , TWO PLANTS, TWO products both assembled at one resource
We have uploaded the following data:
1. PMINLOTSIZE , PMAXLOTSIZE
2. TMINLOTSIZE, TMAXLOTSIZE
3. PRODUCTIONCOSTRATE, TRANSPORTATIONCOSTRATE
4. LEADTIMES FOR PRODUCTION, TRANSPORTATION
5. NONDELIVERYCOSTRATE
6. INVENTORYTARGET, INVENTORYTARGETVIOLATIONCOST, MAXINVENTORY
The heuristics is running correctly and generating the key figures for production as per the ratios defined.
However, the optimizer runs without errors but production is nil. Please refer to the log below:
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9100 | Optimizer started |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9101 | Optimizer finished |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9102 | Optimizer found optimal solution |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9120 | Optimizer solving time: 0.01 seconds |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9121 | Optimization problem contains 3321 variables |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9122 | Optimization problem contains 1459 linear constraints |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9130 | Solution information: demand fulfillment rate is 0.00% (not delivered amount: 113799.122013) |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9131 | Solution information: objective function value is 11379999.951299995 |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9132 | Solution information: objective function bound is 11379999.951299995 (gap to found solution: 0%) |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9133 | Solution information: total non-delivery costs are 11379912.201299995 |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9143 | Solution information: total inventory target violation costs are 87.749999999999972 |
| Information | SCMPLAN | 9149 | Solution information: inventory target fulfillment rate is 0% (not satisfied amount: 175500) |
Thhe Optimizer does not give a feasible solution i.e. production quantities are 0 , have i missed out on any other input KF / setting? Request guidance in this regard.

Aggregated constraint key figures eg MAXAGGPRODUCTION
Hi gurus,
Does anyone have experience of using these key figures? I've been trying to use MAXAGGPRODUCTION with S&OP Optimizer and got unexpected and unhelpful results. I'm not sure if it's a) my interpretation of their use b) the on-prem (3.0.2.3) version we're using c) my config which is a copy of from the SAP4 model.
What we'd like is a convenient method of constraining production at several levels of product aggregation based on different attributes similar to sub-family/ family. We can do this anyway by defining resources for each product family etc but this concept seems more elegant for our purpose. The fact that planning level PERPRODLOCSRCAGG contains PRDID as a route and consequently max production needs to be defined at product level also seems odd to me.
Anyone got any answers, experience, documentation?
Best regards
Andrew

Test Data export using IBP API
Hi all,
I want to test data export using IBP API (getDataExport API which uses a RESTful web service).
I have checked official documentation and SCN post.
Before doing anything in SAP ECC, I want to test this API with a simple interface. To do so, I used SoapUI, but I can’t get it to work :
Steps I have done so far:
- In IBP:
- I have assigned to my user a visibility filter for the planning area, with no filter rules defined.
- I have a Key Figure “CONSENSUSDEMANDBASEQTY” defined @ PERPRODCUST (Keys are PERIODID, PRDID, CUSTID,
- In SoapUI:
- I have created a new REST project. I have tested 2 URLs :
- https://xxxxxx.ibp.ondemand.com/sap/sop/sopfnd/services/analytics/sopa.xsjs (from SCN post)
- https://xxxxxx.ibp.ondemand.com/sap/sop/sopfnd/services/analytics (from official documentation)
- I have created a new REST project. I have tested 2 URLs :
I am not sure which one is correct?
- I have specified my IBP credentials in the request properties :
- I have specified the request parameters :
- I submit this request with "POST" method, but I get the following error messages, according to the URL I use :
- "Error 404 - Not found"
- "Error 500 - Internal server error"
Can someone help me with this?
Do you know another simple method to test this API (outside ECC)?
Thanks,
Pierre

Rolling Forecast - Offset for Forecast consumption
Hi Guys,
I wanted to set up / configure a rolling forecast consumption concept. For example :
February March April
Forecast 200 20 50
Shipped Qty 50 100 50
Rolling Forecast 150(200-50 From FEB) 70 (170-100)
New Forecast 170(150+20) 120
And So on.
So as shown above its clear that 200-50 is done and the result of the difference between forecast and shipped Qty is made available in the next Month Period ID as rolling Forecast(150). Then the result of this can be Added to current month forecast to calculate the New forecast for the month. Now the Rolling Forecast for the month of March would be 70 and this should reflect in April as a carry forward.. then the logic continues...
Looking forward to customization and calculation logic ( at all levels) help.
Thanks

SAP IBP Statistical forecast best suitable method
Hi Experts,
It is given in sap help doc that if more than one forecasting method is included in a statistical forecast profile, the system optimizes the data for all methods in the profile and picks the best forecasting method based on the least errors.
Can anyone elaborate as to how system automatically selects the best method?
Or is it by the planners discretion to select based on the error values?
Thanks,
Subya

KFs definition in Inventory Planning
Hi,
Need help in understanding what is the flow of input/output KFs between Inventory and Demand planning and between Inventory and Supply Planning.
Particularly want to understand if the consensus demand KF generated in demand planning mapped as the IO forecast KF which is the input in the inventory planning. Also the output KFs such as recommended safety stock, target inventory position etc. go as the inputs to the supply planning?
Can someone plz suggest where to find the definitions of the inventory KFs?

Planning Operator Configuration - to Clear Data
Experts,
Similar to the copy Operator in the Planning Operator Configuration, i.e. SAP_SFND."sap.sop.sopfnd.catalogue::SOPAPI_EXECUTE_SCHEDULER_COPY_JOB",
Is there any DELETE or CLEAR function available like SAP_SFND."sap.sop.sopfnd.catalogue::SOPAPI_EXECUTE_SCHEDULER_xxxx_JOB" ..
I would like to clear only few Keyfigures by running the job , similar to copy OPERATOR?
Looked at latest documentation and couldn't find any details?

IBP for Inventory - # of Replenishments and Cycle Stock
Hi,
For IBP for Inventory 5.0, is there a way to get the number of replenishments to a node, based on the recommended safety stock and target inventory position for that node?
Also, is there a way to separate out the cycle stock and/or the pipeline stock?
Thank you!

Display unit of measurement in Excel planning views (no conversion)
Dear experts,
my requirement is to make the base unit of measurement for each key figure visible in the Excel planning views in a column placed right of the key figure column (like in APO SNP standard). The goal is not to achieve some kind of unit of measurement conversion, but to simply have a column show the DIFFERENT types of UoMs that exist in the planning view (for example pieces and currency in the same planning view).
Any ideas how to proceed?
Best regards

IBP Excel Template- Not able to view more than 12 time buckets in Chart
Hi Experts,
I am using SAP provided excel template to view my S&OP data in IBP Excel 5.0. The issue is that I am not able to increase the time bucket to 30 months from existing 12 months (provided as standard setting) i.e. the bar chart is showing data for 12 months only.
I have modified the following settings in Chart-Feeder :-
1) Modified the 'Time Headers Range) to 29 (i.e. No. of Time Periods - 1)
2) Extended the Chart Data to include 30 time buckets. Now the Chart-Feeder is depicting data from Mar'15 - Aug'17.
However after refreshing the Planning View, the chart is still showing data for 12 time buckets only i.e. the changes done in Chart-feeder are not reflecting in the Bar Chart. Am I missing some additional setting?
Thanks,
Diwakar
