New product introduction

[OliverA41]

Hello,

in the configuration guide of a new productintroduction, I find the follow step :

Ensure that the forecast level contains the attribute with the business meaning Product ID.

How can I do this ?

Furthermore I want to know, what the reason of the app "maintianing of productlifecycle. If I remember correct, for two years, this app was not existing.

Regards

planning-area.pngHi Oliver,

Ensure that the forecast level contains the attribute with the business meaning Product ID. - meaning is PLM app reads the business meaning of the Attributes. if set the business meaning in planning area configuration then only you can see the Planning area in PLM app.

refer the below screen shot for planning area config\

Hi Sandeep,

thanks for the response.

I have maintained the attribut

and the forecast level is wkprodloccust (statistical forecast). For my perspective, this is correct. But the sytem is not working. It ignore still the new product.

Hello Oliver,

The above reply is very helpful . Small addition , it might help your query . The statement is referring to the "Aggregation Level" while executing the forecasting run with attribute PRDID. I could remember, unless , system will not consider the life cycle indicator , please test it at your end.

Application job with Job template : Statistical Forecasting

NPI Steps are-

- Perform pre-requsite for NPI

-Settings for product Life cycle

- Manage Product Life cycle

-Add life cycle indicator in the forecasting model

- Execute the forecasting run.

Thank you,

Hello Gaurab,

thanks for the response. You are right, the documentation is very helpful. But unfortunatley, I don't understand the point

Thanks in advance
