SAP Forecast & Replenishment flat forecast (plain)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am currently configuring SAP F&R (Forecast & Replenishment) and I've found that it doesn't matter which is the configuration of any of our product / locations and we will always find a flat forecast after FR Processor run.

The forecast will take in consideration the DIFs so it will show the spikes, but no consumption fluctuations will be shown when the forecast is weekly displayed during a non-DIF period. The dayweights are dynamically calculated since the daily-forecast output reflects different values (only weekly forecast is constant).

If anyone had this problem or can give me any indications about how could it be resolved I would really appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Xavi

Hi Xavi.

I am configuring SAP F&R 4.1 too. I am not sure about your problem but the flat forecast after FR Processor could be because your time serie data (consumption values) are very constants (similar values). On the other hand what Replenishment Type do you have selected in F&R Mass Maintainance for Location / Product?.

In my case I have a problem with automatic order proposals release since I don't get the automatic release. I use Replenishment Type 11 and I have the profiles with large restrecitions to avoid the exception cases. I get forcasting and automatic order proposals but no automatic release. The system generates this message exception: (High Priority) Exception-based release check enforces manual release for order prop. 0000000179.

If anyone had this problem or can give me any indications about how could it be resolved I would really appreciate it.

We could get more working together.

Best regards.

Alberto.
