Leap year and 445 Calendar in APO IMG and initializing planning areas

[Former Member]

Hello gurus,

How would you set-up in APO S/PRO IMG the leap year 2008? We just recently found out the our fiscal year 2008 in APO is configured incorrectly. We use 445 system as our fiscal calendar.

However when we try to set-up the calendar in APO and try to initialize a planning area in 2008 -- wk 53 is not showing. Instead Wk 01 of 2009 is showing 2x. One in Pd 12./2008 and one in Pd 1/2009.

The dates we are using for fiscal 445 2008 is

P1 12/30/07-1/26/08

P2 1/27/08-2/23/08

P3 2/24/08-3/29/08

P4 3/30/08-4/26/08

P5 4/27/08-5/24/08

P6 5/25/08-6/28/08

P7 6/29/08-7/26/08

P8 7/27/08-8/23/08

P9 8/24/08-9/27/08

P10 9/28/08-10/25/08

P11 10/26/08-11/22/08

P12 11/23/08-1/3/09

Our attempt in configuration in IMG for 2008 445:

Month Day Pd Shift

1 27 1 0

2 24 2 0

3 30 3 0

4 27 4 0

5 25 5 0

6 29 6 0

7 27 7 0

8 24 8 0

9 28 9 0

10 26 10 0

11 23 11 0

12 31 12 0

And here is 2009 445:

1 4 12 -1

2 1 1 0

3 1 2 0

4 5 3 0

5 3 4 0

5 31 5 0

7 5 6 0

8 2 7 0

8 30 8 0

10 4 9 0

11 1 10 0

11 29 11 0

12 31 12 0

Any thoughts on what configuration we are missing or entered incorrectly?

The answers of the Guest User seem to point exactly to the issue.

Hi

Do you get the same result if in 2008 add one more line

1 2 1 +1

and change the 2009 periods by removing the first line?

Thanks Harish! Yes we get the same result. We think the problem maybe in the way Planning Area initialization function is working (/sapapo/TS_PAREA_INITIALIZE). It's not creating the week 53 of the year for a leap year.

ok not sure if this helps.... but as per ISO standards "Week 01 of a year is per definition the first week that has the Thursday in this year, which is equivalent to the week that contains the fourth day of January"

the week 53 of 2008 in ur definition has the thursday of jan 2009. So that week might be falling into the next year instead of 2008

Thanks again Harish!

That information help's a little bit.

DOn't know if this will provide you with more insight -- in our APO demand planning our week starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday (besides following a 445 calendar).

The Mon- Sun week may not be the crux ...

the question would be - how do you decide which weeks will start all in the first period or which is the first week of period P1?

1st jan 2011 is a saturday. so does P1 of 2008 start with27th Dec or 3rd Jan.

normally the rule is that the week in which there is the first thursday of the year becomes the first period of that year.
