Monthly DP Forecast does not split evenly into weeks.

[former_member601196]

We are having an issue where the forecast is generated correctly at the monthly level.  However, when one looks at the same forecast in the weekly format, the values are not splitting evenly into all of the weeks within that month.  For example, if a 5 week month has a forecast value of 1000, we would expect to see a forecast of 200 in each of the 5 weeks.  Unfortunately, we are seeing the first 4 weeks with a value of 225 and the fifth week with a value of 100.  The 5 weeks still add up to total the monthly view.

Hi,

The system considered the technical periods as per your planning area's storage bucket profile to carry out the time-based disaggregation. The planning area's key figure settings (calculation type and time-based disaggregation) influence the way data needs to be aggregated and disaggregated. Please check the following links for details.

For equal distribution, you may need to set the time-based disaggregation type of concerned key figure to 'E' using t.code /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN (tab Key Figure Aggregtn). However, this key figure type may not be set as 'Fixable Key Figure' (tab - Key Figs - Details).

Thanks,
