Attribute description not appearing in Lifecycle Management App

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am not able to see Reference product description in Life cycle management app. Could this be because I have linked description attribute to its corresponding ID attribute in master data type or is it a system issue?

Thanks.

Regards,

Hi Navven,

To be able to define reference products for a new product in SAP Integrated Business Planning for demand, your planning area must fulfill the following prerequisites:

• You have defined which attribute of the planning area represents the product ID.
• Product references and forecast dates are only taken into account if the forecast level contains the attribute with the business meaning Product ID in the planning area.
• You have created the respective planning objects for your new products using key figure upload or the copy operator or you have created the planning objects in Microsoft Excel.
• Recommended: You have defined which attribute of the planning area represents the product description and the product group. If you don't do this, the Manage Product Lifecycle app cannot handle descriptions or product groups for the products and the system uses the product ID instead.
• Recommended: You have set the business meaning Actual Sales for one key figure of the planning area.
• Recommended: You use a copy of the SAP6 planning area and adjust it if required. The SAP6 template planning area has been enhanced to fulfill all the prerequisites and recommendations.
