SAP APO DP- Demand Planning: Step by Step Configuration
1. Identify the Characteristics and Keyfigures to be planned:
2. RSA1: Create Infoarea and Infoobjects
(Characteristics: BW and Key Figures: APO)
3. Create Infocube and add Dimensions containing Characteristics along with 0CALMONTH, 0UNIT, 9AVERSION and Key Figures in Key Figures folder
4. Create Source System
5. In Datasources, Create Application Component and Datasource
6. Right click on Datasource and sequentially create transformation process, Infopackage and Data Transfer Process (DTP) but they all appear in Infoprovider under the Infocube as below:
Transformation Process:
Infopackage:
Click on start button
Data Transfer Process (DTP):
Click on Execute:
Click on the Monitor to check the status:
7. Now right click on the Infocube and click on Display data
8. /n/SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN à Create Planning Object Structure and Characteristics for which we need to do the demand planning:
Perform consistency check and save it:
9. Now we need to create Time Bucket Profile (Storage Bucket Profile (TR32) and Planning Bucket Profile for history and future (TR30)) as they are the prerequisites for Planning Area along with Planning Object Structure:
/n/SAPAPO/TR32: Storage Bucket profile is for the whole planning horizon (Past 2 years + Future 1 Year)
/n/SAPAPO/TR30: Planning Bucket Profile is How time series will be displayed in Interactive Planning (Planning book)
10. /n/SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN: Create Planning Area and add Key Figures:
Change the calculation type of all the Key figures except Sales History from S (Pro Rata) to P (Based on Different Key figure) and assign APODPDANT to store the proportional allocation values to implement dis-aggregation and save it.
11. Right click on “inactive” planning area and create time series to initialize the storage memory with the time buckets and activate it:
12. Now since planning area is assigned to master planning object structure, we can create and transfer the CVC (to POS) and key figures (to Planning Area) from sales history Infocube using MSDP_ADMIN and TSCUBE TCodes
===> MSDP_ADMIN:
POS data can be viewed by right clicking on the POS à Characteristics Combination à Display
Whereas Planning area data can only be viewed in planning book.
===> Now use Transaction Code: TSCUBE and assign keyfigure on which we need to run demand planning:
Save à red turns green
Execute à
13. /n/SAPAPO/SDP8B à Create Planning Book
9. Now our planning book is ready for interactive planning:
/n/SAPAPO/SDP94 à Interactive demand planning à find planning book in planning view/ Data view:
Save the selection profile:
Drag and drop to add the selection profile to the User and save it:
Now double click on any one customer:
It will enable the data view and data will be displayed in the data view:
In order to fetch the data from planning area and to save it in the key figures in interactive planning table
Go to Planning Area à Extras à assign forecast key figures
Your planning book is ready for demand forecasting!
