MLR in background

Former Member

Hi

We have set up MLR in APO DP and it work fine in interactive demand planner. But we cannot make it run in the background. We keep getting the error "mixed periodicities in a forecast are not allowed"

We have tried to use the time from the master profile and remove the time from the MLR profile in /sapapo/mc96b - and also tried to use the MLR profile instead of the master profile.

We cannot determine why the background job calls for more periodicies. Can you help?

The MLR.EXE file runs on a microsoft server and the database is on a unix-server.

Regards

Mads Bach

HI Mads Bach,

The issue might be with the data view you use...

Do you run the background job on the data view than the interactive run?

Check if your background job is define with the proper time bucket for both past and future.

Got some help from SAP.

The issue was the time buckets profile contained more than one time periodicy (year and period) and it is only allowed to have one periodicy for background processing. see note 357789

We also had an issue with the initial column in the planning book. This is solved in note 935758
