Demand Planning Configuration

The following are the basic Demand planning configuration steps:

1. Master Planning Object Structure

2. Storage uc!et profile". Time buc!et profile#. Planning area$. Planning boo!s and data %iew&. 'orecast profile

All that above steps should be configured in sequence.

(n this document) ( will present the re*uired configuration steps indetail and also their rele%anc+ with demand planning

[email protected] 1/49

There are three types of master data in DP:

Planning master data: BOMs, Routings, Material Masters, and

Resources, that are required to generate supply plans. This data usesthe !" to populate #$P $PO.

B% Master Data: Data required for reporting that relates toharacteristics, such as Te&t, $ttri'utes and (ierarchies. This data uses

B% e&tractors to populate ta'les in #$P $PO.

"orecasting Master Data: Master data specifically for Demand Planning,

called haracteristic )alue com'inations. This data is created in #$P $PODemand Planning and stored in the Planning O'*ect #tructure.

!n regards to Transactional Data, #$P $PO +ill essentially store three

types:

OTP: urrent planning data from your R- system such as #ales

Orders, #toc/, Production-Purchase Orders. This data uses the !" to

populate #$P $PO.

B%: (istorical transactional data on #ales orders,

Production-Purchasing orders for forecasting or $nalysis. This data uses

B% e&tractors to populate !nfou'es in #$P $PO.

efore configuring the abo%e said re*uirements) it is important todetermine what the characteristics are and !e+ figures are.

,et us ta!e an e-ample of onda /ompan+. The car b+ itself is a'inished Productand then the nature of the car 0Product Category

li!e Sedan or an S3 and again it is further di%ided into standardlu-ur+ Sedan or a limited edition 0Product Hierarchy one and so on.

So if we loo! into the abo%e e-ample) Product) Product categor+)product hierarch+ all form the /haracteristics.

The 4umber of cars to be produced and the number of parts re*uiredto produce a car all form the !e+ figures 05-ample 100 cars to beproduced in onda plant 6) the 177 forms the !e+ figure

/haracteristics and 8e+ figures are usuall+ defined in 6PO 9

All characteristics are selected in Planning Obect structureand All !ey figures are selected in Planning area of APO DP

Please note that the BOM har om' !D column +ill not 'e displayed

as it is !nternal


37/49


This finishes the setup of planning area. The ne-t step in the DPconfiguration is the Planning boo!s and data %iew.



38/49


- Planning boo(s and data vie/

Planning boo! is the most important tool for demand planner. The datafor planning is deri%ed from the planning area. 6lthough the Demand

Planner does not maintain the Planning area) the data stored in thePlanning are maintained b+ him.

To define a Planning boo!)



39/49


(n the ne-t screen enter the planning boo! description and planningarea. The na%igational %iews in the same screen represent the

planning model t+pe and the screen selections associated with it.Select all the %iews and continue.



40/49


'or our e-ample ( am selecting all the !e+ figures from the planningobject and characteristics from the planning area.



41/49


/lic! =/ontinue> to select the characteristics.

The ne-t step is assigning Data %iew for the Planning boo!.

ere) the Planning start is the da+ onGfrom which +ou want theplanning to start. (f left blan! the planning will start automaticall+ fromtoda+ 0default %alue.

Offset field represents the buffer period gi%en in da+s 0offset inbuc!ets. This represents the number of da+s after which the DP to be

started. 'or e-ample if the Planning start is 17oct277B) and offsetentr+ is 17) then the DP would start on 21oct277B.


Planning 'oo/ is a su'set of Planning $rea and Data ;ie+ is a su'set

of planning 'oo/. 7ou can ha)e n num'er of Data )ie+ for 0planning 'oo/.


42/49


The T represents the Time buc!et profile that we assigned to planningarea. The %isible and (nput fields are related to the Time buc!et histor+profile) whether +ou wanted to %iew past histor+ and if so fromwhenand whether +ou wanted to manuall+ enterGadd histor+ data in theplanning boo! if so fromwhen.'or our e-ample ( ha%e gi%en from October 277 onwards.

The Table1 field represents a name for this Data 3iew table.

Once +ou clic! continue) +ou would again see the !e+ figures) but thistime it is from the Planning boo!. Hou are the !e+ figures here to add itto the data %iew. 6gain for our e-ample) we select all the !e+ figures.Please note that the characteristics are notGcannot be selected) onl+the !e+ figures. Once selected) clic! complete to acti%ate the planningboo!.



43/49


4ow to see how all the descriptionGdata entr+ we did in the pre%iousstep) go bac! to the same transaction



44/49


The table name we ga%e DP@'/ST1) the fields we described in the data%iew) T past and future and it will also be in 5dit mode as during theplanning boo! creation we selected the input option for T past.

Please note that whene%er we change the T histor+ and future) sameis affected here.

'or e-ample) Co to APAPO&$+0 2 "aintain $ime *uc(etsProfile for Demand Plng and #upply 3et/or( Plng and changethe month and wee! in the T profile)



45/49


This completes the creation of planning boo! and data %iew. The ne-tis creation of 'orecast profile.

4. 5orecast Profile

(n order to do the Demand planning we need to forecast. 'or thatforecasting we need to assign some algorithmsGformulas to a profile.This assignment is done in the forecasting profile. This forecastingprofile is assigned to the planning area.

To create a forecasting profile) go to S6P menu; 6d%anced Planningand Optimi


46/49


Once in) select the Planning 6rea and enter a name for the forecastingprofile.

The forecast figure !e+ represents the !e+ figure to which the

calculated forecast to be sa%ed. 'or our e-ample let us ta!e ?3@ST'A1.

The forecast hori


47/49


The ne-t step is to select a model for the master profile to do theforecast.

ere we choose ni%ariate profile.

'or our model parameters) we choose Mo%ing 6%erage and for 'orecasterrors we choose) all the error t+pe.

Once the details are entered on this screen clic! on theto sa%e this profile. Then go to the main profile tab and assign thisprofile there.



48/49


Sa%e the profile and e-it.

This completes the configuration re*uired for the Demand Planningconcept. 'rom this we would be seeing the processes in DP or(nteracti%e Demand Planning.
