Error while activating Settings for TS Supply Planning

[AyanBishnu]

Based on the new feature that we have got in "Settings for TS Supply Planning", I am trying to model a simple change leveraging the function. My objective is to have different input KF by version for Independent Demand. In my planning area I have the standard input KF "INDEPENDENTDEMAND" which is a default input for TS heuristic and optimizer.

I have copied the above KF and created a new KF "ZINDEPENDENTDEMANDPSI" that I want to use as an input in the simulation version named XXX.

When I go and activate the version specific button and select the "ZINDEPENDENTDEMANDPSI" as an input for PSI version, I get the error "maintain all mandatory inputs". Even though I didn’t touched the master data and attribute section still many default inputs in the master data section gets blank and I need to update them again by selecting the default option. But still while saving get the same error "maintain all mandatory inputs".

Even if I force save and actvate the gets activated but the TS heuristic fails with unexpected error.

Changed the input for independent demand KF for version PSI

As soon as I save it the MDT prefix gets changed from EA to EAEA and all the reference attribute for input goes blank, which I suspect is since the MDT prefix is getting changed hence the system cannot find the MDTs in IBP.

And after I activate it the MDT still shows wrong MDT prefix and required attribute are missing. When I run heuristics, it gives an unexpected error.

I have already raised a high OSS and IBP development is looking into this as we speak.

N:B: Have anyone used this feature in any production or QA enviornment ? If yes then, have you faced this similar issue ? If no, then please dont use it until the bug is corrected.
