Hello,
With COPY operator we have ability to run only for a particular scenario:
However, the DISAGG operator cannot be run for a specific scenario and only gives the ability to choose a version:
Why is this? Is there a way to enable Scenarios for DISAGG operator? If not, is there an alternative way (ADVSIM?) to accomplish this?

I understand the problem...
Easiest would be to have an additional calculation for CONSENSUSDEMANDQTY :
@WKPRODCUST = SUM("CONSENSUSDEMANDQTY@WKPRODLOCCUST")
And than use the COPY operator to copy that to CONSENSUSDEMAND@WKPRODCUST
Pretty easy 🙂
You just need to make sure that your level WKPRODCUST has the same attributes than WKPRODLOCCUST except the location-specific ones

Thanks Irmi- I guess it was as simple as that! Though I did have to add an intermediate key figure without UOM Conversion, because CONSENSUSDEMANDQTY had UoM conversion and was causing inflated values.

Hi Irmi, Hi Shivaditya,
based on requests from several customers (e.g. improvement request 536) the DISAGG operator is enhanced in IBP 1902 to support scenarios. In general scenarios store only changes (Delta) as compared to the underlying planning version. When key figure values are copied in a user defined scenario with the COPY or DISAGG operator the values are stored in the scenario, even if they do not differ from the value of the underlying version.

you do know that there is a new parameter in COPY that deals with the UoM conversion, so you DO NOT need another KF???
Check the model config guide under COPY operator... Same for DISAGG

Hi Shivaditya
it would be helpful if you had sketched out what YOU want to accomplish processwise...
COPY and DISAGG originally had different target functionality, even though they have quite a big overlap, and both are intended for batch use only and not interactively.
ADVSIM should ONLY be used in exceptional cases, as it does have a big impact on performance as it is running on the fly for whatever you have loaded interactively.
In regards to versions or scenario, neither of the three is intended to copy between different scenarios / versions, but only within a specific scenario / version (except DISAGG when copying cross planning areas). To copy between different versions, you use the version management. To copy between different scenarios, you use the scenario management.
As of today, DISAGG can not be used for scenarios and I am not sure if that technically would work.
NOTE: The following is only speculation!!!:
So maybe you explain, what you want to achieve and why you think ADVSIM could be an alternative?

Hello Irmi,
Thanks for your detailed inputs- appreciate as always!
What our requirement is:
Scenarios are for What-If analysis: for example, whats the impact on my supply plan when say moving production around. That is why SOP Operators can be run within a scenario to take modified inputs into account.
Now we want to achieve this: we want to start on the Consensus Demand Plan Qty step: create a scenario for changes to Consensus Demand Plan Qty (kf CONSENSUSDEMANDQTY@WKPRODLOCCUST level) which is copied over using the DISAGG to CONSENSUSDEMAND (@WKPRODCUST level) as an input to heuristics. {standard Best Practices content in SAPIBP1}.
However, since DISAGG cannot be run within the Scenario, this cannot be achieved. What are your thoughts on this?
Regards,
Shivaditya Singh
Sounds good! Thanks a lot Irmi and Thomas!
