Calculations as Inputs to Supply Planning

[andrew_craven]

Hi Gurus,

Key figures defined as 'Input for supply planning' that are marked as 'stored and calculated' are able to be calculated based on key figures within their calculation chains. This is very useful if you want to transform an input before feeding it into the supply planning eg days cover -> inventory target based on forecast demand. My understanding is that the one catch is that the predecessor key figures need to be at exactly the same planning level or it doesn't work and you have to do things like use copy operator to 'break the chain'.

In my particular case one of the upstream key figures contains a month offset via attribute transformation (ie different planning level eg perprodloc->perprodloc1) which stops the inputs being recognised by the supply engine.

Question, before embarking on time-consuming L code journey to do do the attribute transformation, anyone know if this will work. Ie will the supply engine recognise the inputs if some of the source is L Code?

Best regards

Andrew

Hi just got a response via OSS: to the question:

The answer is no.
