Life Cycle Forecast Not calculated

Hello,

I have issue to obtain forecast calculation with Like Profile management.

Here are the settings I would like to have :

Basic settings Family / Product / Location

Like Profile (model) created with Family OR Product.

For exemple

Family      : Planes

Product      : *

Location     : *

Model         :  Family Cars

I have 24 months of history  for Family Cars, which should be fine.

In this case, I dont have forecast calculation, and the following message :

NOT POSSIBLE TO CARRY OUT THE FORECAST, no HISTORICAL DATA.

I made 2 different tests :

TEST 1


Basic Settings Family / Location

Like Profile (model)


=> Forecast calculated

Hi Pierre,

As per the log you have sent it says CVC combination is not available for replacement.

Simple Scenario:

Old products A,B,C

New Products D,E;F

Now what the life cycle planning do we will align the history data as follows.

A data will align to D.( A is source and D is Target)

B data will align to E.

and C data will to F.

For this to be done we need to create CVC's of all products A,B,C,D,E,F in your MPOS.

For ex ,in your case

Combination 1

FAMILY 1010 C24 0
Like profile: DP & ETLOC

what is your target combination.

You have define Phase in for your Target combination and phase out Basic combination(i.e. Combination 1).

I think document has all steps clearly defined.Reply if any concern.

TEST 2 :

Basic Settings : Family / Location / Customer

Like Profile (model) : Family

=> Forecast Calculated

(for these 2 tests, My assignment was  Family = Planes and other characteristics = * )

Why I cannot use my characteristic product for  the basic settings of my life Cycle management ?

I am blocked ....

Thanks for your help

Hi Pierre,

I am giving you the link for the detaied configuration of Lifecycle Planning.It is below:-

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60ef73eb-1dbf-2d10-0c8d-cbe0341b0...

Only one thing to add, if you are using Z chrecteristic like ZMATNR instead of 9AMATNR which is standard one.

You need to go to your MPOS.Choose Extras --> Assign Product/Location.Here give your Z charecteritics.

Rest You can follow this document and in any case you need clarification reply.

Hi Nitish,

Thanks for your answer.

I checked everything written in the link you sent to me, my parameters looks fine.

Unfortunately, it does not work.

I am not able to generate forecast if my basic settings of the Life Cycle contains my characteristic "product"

How is it possible ??

Thanks in avance for your help
