APO Forecast issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

Forecast is brought directly into SNP (not DP) via a program in SE38 (local development) = /EUR/AEUPDR_DEMAND_FORECAST.

The program has worked correctly for the last 10-12 weeks for the CL2 Go-Live, it is only this week that we have seen the problems. The issue coincides with adding the CL3a SKUs to the message to GLOBE, but I do not expect that the addition of new SKUs is the root cause.

These forecasts are not visible in the SNP planning books, but are in other PPDS views.

Some of the forecasts appear correctly in the product view and in /sapapo/sdp94. However, most of the forecasts are not in the planning book. To view the problem on transaction /sapapo/sdp94. Product view (elements tab) and SNP planning book show no forecast, but on the product view forecast tab, the forecasts can be viewed. This is incorrect, forecasts should also appear on the product view elements tab and in the SNP planning book.

The BAPI is putting the information into the production system as the forecasts are available in the product view - forecast tab. This tab gets its information from the database tables, not Livecache. If I go into the SNP planning book in change mode and populate the consensus demand plan key figure manually for the first week, then the figures for the rest of the horizon are automatically populated into the planning book (and hence Live Cache).

I would like to run run a consistency reports for both orders and Timeseries Livecaches in the production system and also to check SAP notes for this BAPI.

Any inputs will be appreciated.
