1. Check attribute length under Configuration
2. Check the length of your data using excel function len() and filter by those that are higher than allowed value

Unconstrained Planning
Hi Experts
I am using S&OP supply.I have the following issues.Need your expert opinion.
1.While doing Unconstrained planning it’s not considering the existing stock on Hand. Suppose at DC I have inventory of 100 qty .
If I get demand of 200.I should get the transportation receipt qty of 100 not 200.Now its generating 200 qty.
2. Issue in capacity planning. It’s not updating the Available Capacity, Capacity Consumption and utilization Percentage Keyfigure in planning view.
Thanks in Advance.

IBP 6.1 Master Data with External Systems
Hi Guys,
I am working in a new project to use IBP 6.1 and we are starting with the design of the Data Model.
According to the requirements, there are some Master Data that will receive data from another/external system. They want to define in the final version as "External MDT" because they receive directly data from that external source. But in the first steps of the project, to reduce complexity, they accept extract data to an excel file from that system and import in IBP. In this case you can define these Master Data as "Simple MDT", right?
But then, in the final deployment, they want this MD as "External". According with out colleagues, once you define the Master Data as "Simple", you cannot change in the future to "External", is that correct?
Could you explain what is the best solution for this case?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
David.

yes, once you set uo the type, you cannot change any more

Issue with Local Members in Versions
Dear experts,
I am currently experiencing an issue regarding local members when working with Versions in the Excel Planning Views.
In Version "Base Version" my Local Member behaves just fine. It is a simple calculation that I want to attach to a specific key figure for all planning level combinations in the planning view.
However, when I leave the Base Version and open a created version, the local member disappears. I entered the EPM Edit Report and tried to configure the local member to show up again, but it did not work for me.
Also, in the version I was not able to recreate the simple local member that works just fine in the Base Version. Whereas in the Base Version the Member is attached to every planning level combination, in the version it is simply put at the very bottom and only appears for the last respective planning level combination of the planning view.
Any guidance on how to deal with this issue? Thanks a lot!
Regards
Holger

Hi Irmhild,
Thanks for the answer, this is what I thought.
So, what is the best solution in this case?

Re: Unconstrained Planning
Hi Roshan,
1) Can you check the configuration of stock on hand kf, if it is marked stored or has any calculation?
Make sure you are entering values in the current bucket.
2) Is available capacity time series dependent? If not, then mark it attribute as key figure to appear in excel view. However internally it will be considered for calculation of capacity usage. Check the same for capacity consumption rate. If required, re upload these MDTs.
Thanks,
Rohit

Re: IBP 6.1 Master Data with External Systems
Dear David
I am a bit confused by your wording.
You say you consuider to first laod via Excel to reduce complexity and change later
That has nothing to do with "external MD types".
"External" refers to the operation data model such as Response, for which you would load data from ECC via Near Realtime-INterface in the future once that exist, or via API
It does not refer to periodical data transfer via HCI / SDI for strartegical planning processes such as SOP or Demand
(I know, technically that is not correct what I am saying now, but you can imagine it a bit like the difference between APO-DP and SNP: In DP you load via Infocubes from any kind of source, and you can flexible define any kind of master data and key figure. For SNP you load via CIF and you are much more restricted to what you adjust, as the heuristics need certain objects)
And it is not "external vs. simple MD type". If at all, it would be "external vs all the rest of the types" :-)
So which processes are you talking about, just SOP or inventory? And which MD types are you talking about in detail?
I would guess you would need simple or compound anyhow
Kind regards

Re: Issue with Local Members in Versions
Can you post some screenshots of both the EPM settings / formula and the excel planning sheet both working with Base and not working with alternative version so that you can see the excel references?
And which AddOn-Release are you?

Re: Unconstrained Planning
Hi Rohit.
You are rite I entered my SOH quantity in other bucket.After entering in initial bucket.
I changed the resource master with Time series indicator.Now I am getting Available Capacity.

Capacity Overload Alert
Hi Experts
I am trying to generate the Capacity Overload Alert in IBP S&OP supply plan.But somehow its not getting generated.
Even though Capacity Percentage utilization crossed 100%.
Please let me know your views.

Re: Capacity Overload Alert
Hi Roshan,
Capacity Overload is triggered when Utilization percentage is higher than the threshold.
Did you maintain any values in Capacity Overload Alert Threshold?

And you also need to save the favorite after adding the alert and ensure the alert has a name.

Re: Issue with Local Members in Versions
Sure. We use EPM Addin 4.0.2.2 and our IBP is the StarterEdition on Version 4.
In the Base Version, I add an exemplary local member "(fn) Statistical Forecast Quantity" at the bottom of the planning combinations. As desired, after i press enter the local member is calculated at all planning combinations in the planning view:
In EPM, the local member looks like this:
When I switch the planning view to a version now, the local member disappears. In EPM the local member defintion did not change. I tried to edit the "attached to" definition (e.g. member combination with my Version also selected) but could not make my local member show up correctly again:
Now the second test: I recreate the same local member I created in the Base Version, this time in my SOP Version. As you can see on the screenshot, the member this time does only attach to the bottom planning combination on the screen and is not calculated for the other combination in the planning view:
In EPM, the local member looks like this:
I again tried to experiment with the "attached to" definitions, but was not able to create a universally applicable local member. When I e.g. change the "attached to" definition to the key figure Statistical Forecast Quantity (and optionally in combination with Version SOP), the local member disappears completely. I also noticed that the EPM formula does not change when you change the "attached to" definition and changed it manually, again without achieving my goal.
So basically after this analysis I have two questions:
a) Is it possible to design a universally applicable local member that shows up in both the base version and other versions without changing the local member settings?
b) If a) is not possible: How do I design local members in versions that at least behave the way like they do in the base version?
Thank you and best regards

Re: IBP 6.1 Master Data with External Systems
Hi Irmi,
Thanks for your answer. I understand what the explanation for External MD types is.
Let me put you in context to understand all the process. We are working in S&OP and Demand processes, and we have for example "Products" information as MD Type, which it is maintained in SAP MDG-M and they want to keep updated this Material governance directly in MDG-M and replicate the data in IBP to use in S&OP/Demand processes. And the requirement ask to have updated this information at least one time per day.
So based on your comments, there are two options for the configuration:
- Create this "Product" Master Data as "Simple" MD Type. So we can start by importing and Excel file received from MDG-M to IBP (we should automate this process to have updated tables), and we need to specify in the configuration if the data has been changed/added/removed. Later we can replicate from ECC to IBP via HCI, but for that we need to replicate first the data from MDG-M to ECC.
- Create this "Product" MD as "External" MD Type. So the system can load data from ECC via Near Realtime-Interface. But for this second option we need to create this interface between IBP and ECC, but first we need tol replicate data from MDG-M to ECC.
Please let me know if I uderstood something wrong.
Are these the options that we have for this situation? Based on your experience and/or pros and cons: what is the best solution in terms of complexity, efficiency and time consumed to configure each option?
Thanks for all your answers,
Best regard,
David.
