Forecast on cost center

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Is it possible for us to do the forecast on cost center using plan value as the basis?

I have searched some forums and the SAP t-codes, but can't seem to find it.

Please kindly suggest

Thank you very much in advance

Hi Erwin

what do you exactly mean by forecast? How different is it from plan?

btw, is your issue on revenue/cogs on main item and child item resolved?

Hi Ajay,

Well, this is the requirement from the client.

They want to keep the planned value for 1 fiscal year, and they will review the plan value quarterly and will create a one month ahead forecast using the actual value from cost center.

So, i am thinking, to save those two different value in two version:

- plan value : version 0

- "forecast" value : version 1 (example)

the problem is, i still havent been able to do the forecast automatically (eg: Jan - Feb - Mar actual value to be averaged into the Apr "forecast")

What do you think?

Thank you

Hi Erwin

Thats the right way... You should plan in version 1 and 2 and so on

However, I donno there is any mechanism of copying the averages... As far as I know, you need to do it manually... You can create a BAPI upload program which can calcuate as well as upload

You can copy actual to Plan in KP98.. But there is no mechanism of averaging out as you want

You can use customer exits COOMKPLV and / or COOMKPT4

Hi Ajay,

Closing this thread about the forecast.

About the revenue / cogs on main item and child item...

Unfortunately, it is still not solved as the issue, but we decided to make another work around this issue.

PS:

I am sorry, didn't read that line of you asking about the main item and child item

My mistake

I will post the work around in that thread

Once again, thank you for your help

BR, Erwin
