MC90 Background - Forecast Transference

[itelli_gence]

Hi gurus,

We are developing a customer program that requires to run Forecast Transference for a group of materials.

With MC90 transaction, is possible to run for one material but it is not supported to use in batch-inputs neither programs in background (why?).

The alternative with job configuration (MC8*) is not possible because is configured for one full plant, it's a non dynamic variant selection possible. In each execution of the customer program, different materials can be required to transfer forecast and the standar job solution is not suitable for it.

Any idea? Thanks in advance!

Hello Daniel

There are BAPIs to create independent requirements in both ECC and S/4HANA:

- BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CREATE

- BAPI_REQUIREMENTS_CHANGE

In S/4HANA the forecast can also be created with an upload of a file in the Fiori App.

MC90 is not the same that the BAPI_REQUERIMENTS_CREATE. MC90 take into account the settings related. Or am I wrong?

Hi Daniel apologize for my previous answers, I guess did not understood correctly what you are looking.

There are mass processing features available to transfer data from info structures into demand management. Check the following link of SAP Help:

Hello

The best way to upload data into SOP is using an IDOC. Check my answer on the following thread:

Thanks for your answer!

In our situation, numbers in info structure are uploaded yet in the system. The question is how transfer these numbers into PIRs in a customer program (MC90 is not background mode available and jobs standar for transfer forecast are not suitable for a customer program with dynamic selection of materials).
