Error in flexible planning (MC94), Need SAP tables for planning hierarchy (MC61)

[former_member370893]

Hi Experts

We are using infostructure S535 in flexible planning. Please find attached screenshot for characteristics.

My requirement to build a program to upload forecast target quantity in MC94 infostructure S535. I got error message "No characteristic value combinations exist for the selected data". I know reason for error is that characteristics to be maintained in the MC62-planning hierarchy.

I could see many "sold to party-ship to party-partner-sales group-Material group-Finish-Basis weight-solver grade-plant" combinations maintained in the MC62. I want to know How planning hierarchy being created in MC62 for this combination.

1. Is there any way system automatically create planning hierarchy in MC62? How i can check the details created by, changed by, changed on? 2. Also, I want to know table or report used to get planning hierarchy. I need this information to build excel sheet with combination of characteristics used to upload for MC94. 3. If i try to enter target quantity in MC94 for sold to party only without any characteristics combination, i got information message that "The planning hierarchy contains no details for the characteristics,These were either not maintained or excluded from the planning"(refer screenshot).

I want to know reason for this message.

regards,

Uday

Hello,

In such cases the Planning Hierarchy should be rebuilt according to the instructions in note 920027.

Delete the planning hierarchy with report RMCP6DEL and then regenerate it with Transaction MC9A.

Calculate proportional factors for the regenerated hierarchy using transaction MC8U

Hi Caetano/Rupesh,

Thank you.

Program RMCP6FLS or t code MC9A help me to create planning hierarchy automatically.

Can I add new characteristics value in planning hierarchy MC62? Will it cause any issue if I create planning hierarchy manually?

Hi Brahmankar,

We want to update characteristics in MC62 manually for new planning hierarchies.

If we run MC9A/RMCP6FLS after some time, will it overwrite existing characteristics proportions.

Hi Bhamankar. Thank you.

I created new infostructure Sxxx for characteristics material group, sold to party and partner.Key figures are target quantity and confirmed quantity.

Infostructure report shows confirmed quantity for new sales orders.

I have below questions.

1.I ran MC9A to get planning hierarchy but run was not successful. Table SxxxE didn't get any entries. is there any configuration missing? How can I get planning hierarchy for new infostructures?

2. Need I run OLI7 to get old sales order information?

Hi,

Was your issue resolved as I am too facing issue while regenerating my info structure S9** in MC9A that "info structure not planned with consistent planning method".

I have to add one product group in planning hierarchy in MC62 but getting error,"Planning level(s) does/ do not exist.

Let me know your solution of this issue.

Hello

You can try report RMCP6FLS.

You can also check for other SOP and flexible planning relevant reports on transaction SE38, searching for RMCP*.
