Realignment in IBP 1808

[pallavidwivedi108]

Hello All,

While trying to use the Realignment functionality in IBP, I have the following settings in the Manage Realignment Rules Fiori app-->

Key Figure Processing Option > Sum up source Values and Overwrite Target

While doing so, for Key figures which are UoM enabed, the realignment happens by aggregating the data for all UoM's and then pasting it for the new product. This does not give the desired result. Has anyone noticed similar behavior?

Is there a way to filter the realignment run for one single UoM?

Thanks,

Pallavi

Hi Pallavi,

realignment always processes key figure values on their base planning level using stored values. If required (e.g. in case multiple products are merged) the values are aggregated according to the selected key figure action, but they are never disaggregated. This approach is used for all key figure actions except ‘Initialize target’ where it is not relevant. Calculated key figure values cannot be used.

Your example with the planning object for location DP_LOC3 not receiving any key figure values could be caused by an error. There was a problem in case one of the cells used to calculate the target value was empty. This error has in the meantime been corrected. Could you please recheck if the problem still exists? In case it does please raise an incident on component SCM-IBP-BF-RLG so we can analyze the situation in detail.

Kind Regards,
Thomas

Hi Rohit,

Thank you for your response. I checked the base planning level. Yes DP_PRD4 has more combinations than DP_PRD2.

I noticed that the values from specific combination of (DP_PRD2) - (DP_LOC2) - (DP_CUST2) get copied to (DP_PRD4) - (DP_LOC2) - (DP_CUST2). So my understanding is that the realignment happens at the base level. Is this the expected behavior only when we select action as "Sum up source values and overwrite target" or this is valid for all action modes ?

With the same attribute mapping in realignment project as above and action mode as "Sum up source values and Add to target", I noticed that the after the realignment run, the values get changed in (DP_PRD4) - (DP_LOC2) - (DP_CUST2) and (DP_PRD4) - (DP_LOC1) - (DP_CUST2) but not in (DP_PRD4) - (DP_LOC3) - (DP_CUST2).

Is there a particular reason for the above behavior? Please find screenshots below for the above mentioned observation.

Hello Pallavi,

Suggest you to check the application log for detailed information about combinations which were copied.

If you are still not satisfied with the result after multiple iteration, you can raise an OSS for further analysis.

Thanks,

Rohit

Hi Rohit,

Settings in "Manage Realignment Rules" Fiori App:

Before the Realignment Run :

After Realignment Run :

I noticed that if the attribute mapping is done at the base level (Product ID- Loc ID- Cust ID) then it gives expected Output. So it shouldn't be a UoM issue. However, i am not able to understand the logic for disaggregation here. Let me know if i am missing out something here.

Thanks,

Hello Pallavi,

Can you please check the planning view at base level for these products and see for which combination data is not matching? I am assuming that target product DP_PRD4 have some more combinations compared to source product DP_PRD2.

Thanks,

Hi Rohit,

I attached some additional screenshots as separate comment. Let me know your view on it.

Hi Pallavi,

I did not notice this behavior.

Can you provide screenshot of realignment project for the key figure and planning view?

Thanks,
Rohit
