Hi,
I was wondering how long does a rules in /SAPAPO/RLGCOPY last. Is there a end date/validity date for rules?
I was told that the rules are refreshed weekly.

Re: Realignment Rules validity
Hi Amit
What exactly mean by rules in /SAPAPO/RLGCOPY?
In /SAPAPO/RLGCOPY, we have validity date which has to be equal to system date. Once both the dates match, realignment job will take place.
Thanks

Re: Realignment Rules validity
Sorry I was clear enough. So basically realignment job will run only once, that is unless I change the validity date again say for tomorrow. I wanted to ask if there is something like an end date, for eg realignment rule will executed as long as system date <= end date/validity date. Is there any config which can be done.
So if a realignment job needs to exist for week, I need to change the validity date daily, right.

Re: Realignment Rules validity
Hi Amit
But why you will run the realignment again next day for same entries. Once the realignment steps are executed you require to any how add new realignment steps with new validity date or you can also keep this field back and schedule the job in the background.
so whenever job is running it picks those steps which are not yet executed yet and schedule it in the background.
You can also give future dates for some of the steps and schedule the jobs in the future so whenever system date match to validity date defined in step realignment will happen for those steps.
Please find below the screen shot, you can see steps with date of today got execute today and validity date with 26 Jan will get executed tomorrow.
I hope this information helps you. If yes, please close the thread following steps How to close a discussion and why
Thanks

Re: Overall Profile does not open with correct Heuristic Profile
Hi Jack,
This is quite possibly a program error. Please, check if note below is applicable to your system:
2028807 - /SAPAPO/CDPS0: Incorrect heuristic profile is set in DS planning board

Hi Tiago, I will have that Note implemented and I will let you know if that corrects the problem. Thanks, Jack

CTM is generating dependent demand on Phantom Assembly instead of components of Phantom Assembly
Hello Folks,
I am using CTM with Bucket-Oriented planning and SNP Orders along with SNP PDS. I have a FG with has components and a phantom assembly in the PDS. When CTM is executed, dependent demand is generated on the Phantom Assembly instead of the components of Phantom Assembly. Is this standard behavior, can this be prevented by using any planning parameter?
FG - A
Phantom - P - ( Phantom components P1,P2)
Component - X1
Component - X2
I also use PP/DS where there is dependent demand generated on the components of Phantom Assemblies but we run CTM prior to PP/DS for business benefits.

Re: CTM is generating dependent demand on Phantom Assembly instead of components of Phantom Assembly
CTM will not create dependent demand for the phantom. It will simpley "Skip" the phantom and create demand on the components of the phantom. Are you sure the SNP PDS has the phantom indicator set for your phantom?

Re: CTM is generating dependent demand on Phantom Assembly instead of components of Phantom Assembly
Ken,
Yes. I do have the phantom indicator in SNP PDS. Attached is a screenshot. This is not an isolated issue since it's being observed for several business units which use different CTM profiles, each of them have their own location-products.

Re: CTM is generating dependent demand on Phantom Assembly instead of components of Phantom Assembly
I don't understand why you say its a problem with CTM.
Did you click on the Phantom indicator? Do you see the components under the Phantom in the PDS?
Does it work with SNP Heuristics.
It is a master data issue, CTM will plan the PDS with phantoms same as any other engine.

Re: CTM is generating dependent demand on Phantom Assembly instead of components of Phantom Assembly
Ken,
Expanding the Phantom indicator gives the components of the phantom assembly. When CTM is executed, FG creates SNP: Dependent Demand at Phantom assembly and corresponding SNP Planned Order. This Planned Order for the Phantom Assembly inturn creates SNP:Dependent Demand on Phantom Assembly components and corresponding Pur Reqs. This is a problem because we don't want SNP Planned orders sitting for Phantom Assemblies.
Location heuristics when run in 9ASNP94 works fine. It does not generate dependent demand on Phantom Assembly but it creates dependent demand on the components of Phantom assembly.
Maybe I should raise an OSS message.

Re: Value of stock in APO
Janet,
Here is good news. You can do ANYTHING in SAP if you have enough time and money.
The answer to your question is yes. You haven't described where you want the info, but it is fairly straightforward to bring price-type data into BW infocubes for use in DP. See your local BW resource.
If you intend to use CIF rather than BW extractors, then it will require enhancements. Speak to your local developers.

Re: Value of stock in APO
Hi Dogboy 49
Thanks so much. We are on SCM7 EHP3 and there is a business requirement to see the projected stock on hand and projected safety stock as you can see it on the SNP planning book in a report as a value. We already load SNP planning book data (projected stock and safety stock as well) to a BW infocube from which we report in Bex . So I was not sure if there was a standard way of bringing the cost price into the SNP product master. What do you think will be the best solution - via BW or via the CIF ? We have developers, so we can do either. Maybe BW as the other data is already in an infocube ?
Kind Regards
Janet

Re: Value of stock in APO
Hi Janet
I would still challenge the business requirement.
Generally we don´t bring the cost factor into APO because you would like to planning and not constraint them with budget. You could always bring the information in Reporting to valuation of stock.
But if you still want, I would not prefer play around with CIF as we don´t have real time cost valuation.
You can use the BW extraction process to extract the Cost information once a day to make it at least easy and robust development.
Please let us know if this information helps you.
Thanks

How system calculate the delivery date based on.
Hello APO experts,
I am SD consultant and very well aware of ATP but new to GATP ATP.I have gone through a couple of threads on GATP and could not find the answer.
My question is how the system will calculate delivery date when the products are available only after 6 months if we have GATP integration with SD.
What is the check points in GATP and how system calculate the delivery date based on?
I am aware of ATP in SD like the system will check all the dates like Material Availability Date, Pick/pack time, Transportation Planning date, Loading date, Goods issue date, Transit Date, Delivery Date.
Kindly let me know if have missed out any point.
Thanks.

Re: Value of stock in APO
Janet,

This would be an enhancement. As previously mentioned by expert Amol
APO in general, and SNP in particular, is a Planning solution. All valuation, and all valuation decisions, are normally done in ECC, or whatever other Online Transaction Processing System you happen to be using.

Re: Value of stock in APO
Hi Janet
I don´t see any standard way to bring the cost into SNP via CIF.
I would prefer to use APO BW solution. You can create couple of time series KFs in SNP planning book. One i.e. cost/piece you can load into KF which you can hide in planning book and see you if you can right a macro cost/piece * stock (projected stock and safety stock KF) and show in the planning book.
I hope this solution will help you.
Thanks

Re: Value of stock in APO
Hi DB49 and Amol
What the business is looking for is similar to the Fiori app "Explore projected stock value".
We are not looking to constrain the planning with the budget. They want a cost valuated idea of what the stock holding will be based on the plan coming from SNP, if that makes sense. I will try the BW route.
Thanks for your feedback.

Re: Value of stock in APO
Janet,
Perhaps the business should use the Fiori app. Or, create some nice reporting in a separate BW instance. You have to ask yourself: What benefit would the planners gain by adding this new bit of information to the SNP planning book?
Standard SNP Planning book as supplied by SAP is a planning tool.
It is not a reporting tool
It it not a budgeting tool
It is not an analytics solution.
Adding Non-standard Key Figures to SNP will have an effect on performance.
If you try to torture SNP into being something that it is not, you will add cost (both obvious and also unseen) to the solution. You should only do that if the business requirements are compelling, and the value of the benefit exceeds the costs.
