Copy safety stock from Infocube to SNP

[Former Member]

What is the best way to copy safety stock data from Infocube to SNP planning area?

This is not a one-time but an on-going interface so spreadsheet upload is ruled out and the standard transaction /SAPAPO/REL_TO_SNP is only good for forecasts. Also we have not implemented APO DP as we forecast in an external system and load the forecsat via. the above transaction code.

Hello Sandy

Here are the details -

( 1 ) Using Transaction Code /n/SAPAPO/TSCUBE or you can follow below path from SAP Menu.

Advanced Planning and Optimization ---> Demand Planning ---> Environment ---> Data Administration ---> /SAPAPO/TSCUBE - Load Data from InfoCube

OR

( 2 )  Alternative is using Transaction Code : SE38 or SA38,  and use the program : /SAPAPO/RTSINPUT_CUBE

Specify Source as Infocube and Target as Planning Area.  Specify Date range(From/To Date), Selection Condition for which you want to load the data. Set the grouping condition to do 'group by'  while loading the data.  Do Key figure Assignment  -  Keyfigure from Infocube to Keyfigure from Planning Area. Use "Additional Setting" button to set Parallel processing profile and other options.

Note,  The characteristics in the 'selection condition' and the 'grouping condition' refer to the characteristics in the InfoCube (not from the planning area)

You can create a variant and run it as a part of batch job or within a step in the process chain.

( 3 )  Another way by Using Tcode: /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN,  You can add a Key figure from Infocube into Planning area. If you use semantics as 002 (Semantics for InfoCube key figures) you can select the keyfigure from Infocube and it can directly display data into Planning book without the need of loading the data from cube. You can read more on this by reading SAP help.

Hope this will help.

Hi Sandy,

as the source is an InfoCube and the target a time-series key figure, the simplest way to copy is to use /SAPAPO/TSCUBE.

thanks,
