Hi all,
I have a monthly bucket profile in which forecasting is done monthly for the planning areas in my system.
For previous month everything went right but for this month a material under a specific planning area is not considered. Can anybody help me out that how to reinstate that material back to that planning area and what could be the probable cause why it was not considered.
Waiting to hear from you soon,
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Please clarify one thing is it that the Material under consideration is not considered across various locations or is it for a specific location ?
Please display the list of CVCc through MC62 to find if this material is available there, it is possible that some Realignment process has deleted these material related CVCs or someone has manually deleted these CVCs. Please revert back, so that further analysis can be done.
Thanks,
Harsh

Hi,
How are doing forecast, i mean whether it is aggregated level or detailed level. What is your criteria for disaggregation of forecast, if you are doing forecast at aggregated level.
If you are calculating proportional factor to disaggregate forecast at detailed level then check whethere proportional factor is exist for that material.
Check that perticular material is exist in to the selection ID.
Check characteristic Value combination(CVC) for that particular material.
Do the consistency check for the Time series, Planning book etc. Go to msdp_admin, select planning area, go to extras & select Consitency check & do the consistency for Time Series, Planning book. Then do the forecasting.

Hi,
I think material(Product) activation is not related in your case. Basically CVC`s are the master data of demand planning. So if you have CVC of the particular product then you can able to work on that i mean some transaction data like Forecast, Sales History etc.
If you dont have CVC then if you tried to add in to selection ID then it will never display there & if you have CVC then it will display in to the selection ID.
Hope this will help you.

Hi,
see, there is always two way for generation of forecast or for planning & which are either forecgroung or background. In each way you have to specify selection i.e product, location etc.
In foreground process, if your product is exist in the selection ID then it will consider for generating forecast or for planning also & if it is not exist in the slection ID & then it wont.
In case of background process anyhow you have to select approriate selection ID in the job for forecasting or planning purpose.
So it is the matter of whether product is exist in the selection ID or not.
Hope this will help you to understand the concept.

Hi,
1. Have you created CVC for that material in to the MPOS?
2. Have you entered that material in to the selection ID?
If you have not created CVC for that material then Obviously it will not display in to the selection ID, so will not display in to the Planning Book/Data View.
So first create CVC for that material & then select the same material in to the appropriate selection ID of the planning book & then you will find the same material in to the data view.
Hope this will help you.

Hi Rahul,
I see you have 2 materials.
1.One material has no CVCs. So not considered in forecasting. You have agreed for that.
2.You have another material in the same planning area and have CVCs. Even then it has not considered.
Also you said that even in planning book it is not visible.
I have few questions for the second point.
Wether you are trying to see that material by loading a selection?
OR you are giving directly that material in the selection window under filter object?
If by selection then please check your selection.Whether in your selection, the materials are filtered by attributes
Ex: let us say your material is xxx and your attribute is for example material group: yyy.
What i think is that your selection is in such a way that there is only material group: YYY.
Now check your material has updated with correct material group:YYY.
in such situation you will have CVC but you can not see in the planning book through selection.
If by giving directly the material only in the selection, and you get no objects found for this filter, then you just copy that material and paste in your selection.

Hi Rahul,
Please check if that material has combinations in //MC62.
If yes then check the selection in the background job. Is that for all materials or for few selection only.

Vijaya
