Hi all,
I have noticed a new feature in Master Data type Configuration :
It is possible to "Enable effective dates". Then, two attributes "Date from" and "Date to" are automatically created :
I didn't find any documentation on the subject, and I was wondering if this feature is compatbible with Supply Planning Operator?
If somebody has any knowledge to share on this subject, it would be appreciated !
Thanks,
Pierre
Hi,
I have run satatistical forecasting in IBP 4.0
However I am finding it challanging in IBP 5.0 . Not sure where to confure it. We have been able to copy SAP_IBP_PLANNER_APP into our roles and the tabs for statistical forecasting and supply planning are visible in the IBP excel ribbon
When we go to statistical forecast it shows us the following window:
We selected the time period as Monthly. Howevr we couldnt get anything in the "Forecast Model" selection pane. It was blank. Then we tried to run it. We got a message stating "Select a profile".
We are not sure where and how to select the profile in IBP 5.0.. Request your help.

Hi,
I have configured the Forecasting Operator (IBFORECASTING) for my planning area. Request your guidance on the following points:
1. Where do I configure the alpha, beta, gamma values (in IBP 4.0, it was available in Forecasting parameters)
2. How do I enable the operator? When I login to the excel add-in , I do not find the forecasting operator in the control bar (or the other operators) I have configured. How do I run it through excel (its not available under advanced features either).
Thank you ,

Hello,
I'm using the SAP3 standard model and populated it with the Muesli sample data. As seen in the screenshots below, the Rec Safety Stock and TIP have values in the chart analytic, and the relevant master data elements are populated.
However, in the network visualization, it says there is no data. How do I generate the network diagram? Please also help me understand why Customer Group / Segment, Ship From ID, Component ID, and Source ID are null when they are populated in the master data.
Thanks for your help,
Will
Nothing Displayed in Network Chart
Why Null?
Master Data Elements Populated (Source Customer Group, Source Production)
Rec SS and TIP values Exist

Hello experts,
There are few copy operators scheduled in our application.
Can someone let us know how to check the status of these copy operator jobs from excel or UI?
Click on the "Status" button in "Advanced" option in excel only shows few records and I couldn't sort it by date also.
Thanks in Advance
Anil
Hi Experts
Could you please share SAP IBP training centers provided SAP and SAP Partners for SAP IBP technology.
Kindly share list of SAP /SAP Partners providing SAP IBP training and Duration details also.
It would be great if could share the training cost with certification and training cost without certification.

Hi,
We are working on a planning area which is a copy of SAP2. We have generated Consensus demand plan. We are able to populate Customer Sourcing Ratio for each time period in Prod-Loc-Cust planning view.
However we are unable to populate the dependent demand quantity at the DC which is a sourcing location for the customers. We ran the "Unconstrained Demand and Supply (No Shortage)" and tried to populate the values of dependent demand quantity. However we did not succeed. Not sure where we are going wrong. Please help.

Hi
While preparing a prototype scenario, I had used certain MDT combinations and used them for Planning. Out of these, few combinations were later found useless. As such I had deleted, all the KFs that I had uploaded for these combinations followed by the MDTs. But while creating "New View", I am still able to see these combinations which I had deleted.
While going through help doc, I found a certain Operator called "DELABDNCOMBOS".
Now, my questions are:
1) If I use this, will I be able to get rid of "only" the KF information related to these useless combinations whose MDTs I had deleted
2) Like Copy Or Group Operators, is there any parameters for this operator as well?

HI,
Please share some link or guide which can help us in learning about the HCI configuration.
Also, is there any dummy server where we can practice for setting up the connection with HCI and IBP.
Thanks,

Hi, We are facing the issues while sharing the dashboard with other users. Users are having different roles and visibility filters. So, wanted to understand what are the rules for sharing the dashboard with respect to "User Role" and "Visibility filter". Regards, Kiran
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
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
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:
I am not sure which one is correct?
Can someone help me with this?
Do you know another simple method to test this API (outside ECC)?
Thanks,
Pierre
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

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.
