Release to SNP issue

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have an issue in releasing the DP to SNP , Heres the situation:

we have a weekly release to SNP.

I make the changes on wednesday to a manual input KF ( For Eg 10) , then on wednesday the forecast is calculated. Then again change the value to 20 on thursday , saturday is the release to SNP. It should have released 20.

When the release happend, it has released only 10 , but not 20. What could be the reason for this?

Hi Sam,

It seems that the your data is not saved in LiveCache. Did you perform a save action after data change (macro or manually)?

Try also to run DP TS consistency check TSCONS and OM17.

Thanks,

Hi Marius,

Yes, the data is not saved in LC. the data is saved , but when i change the data in DP and release it , the release happens for the 1st changed data and not the one which is presently existing.

i ran OM17 for DP Time series check for DP planning version. there was some inconsistency ad  corrected it.

do you see any other issue?

Hi Sam,

If the new value is saved in LC and your procedure to release the forecast from DP to SNP is correct you should have the right value in SNP!

For test purpose try to release from InfoCube in SNP.

Thanks, Marius

Sam,

When you say "forecast is calculated", is it happening with some background job? If yes, check whether it's only executed on a specific day? Check the log if it is executed daily for the same job.

Rahul,

yes forecast is calculated with some background job.

my issue is that the what ever i release form DP is not released to SNP. Yes i checked the log and i cannot find from there.

for Eg: for Product A - 100 in DP  - I make changes today morning and macro is calculated to give the final forecast. Then tomorrow i go and change again Product A - 200 pcs, then the macro calculates the new final forecat.

during the weekend when i release to SNP, it releases only 100 , but in DP i can see that its 200.

Sam,

Are you sure the background job is executed daily?

Did you try with MC90 in foreground? Check what happens with the same? Also check the period maintained in the variant of MC90 for releasing demand.

I hope you are not releasing it from info cube, could you confirm?

Rahul,

yes i tried MC90 n the foreground and it works fine. But the weekend batch release job has a problem.

no its not from Infocube.

background job for calculating FF is executed daily.

Sam,

Could you share what exactly you are doing in this calculation. Share the screen shot of macro etc. and show what it is doing.

Plus could you share what is FF category, coz if I recall I had (in my system from FA to FE). Could be coz of difference of the version. It seems the issue is somewhere in calculation itself or background job which is releasing. Also share the variant which is releasing the forecast.

Regards

Rahul
