Hi,

I tried to look for a thread about the above function but I have no luck. Would you kindly share a light if you have come accross negative number being generated automatically? (no macro is set up for negating forecast)

This is the note that I would found from SAP help, but there is no actual direction to get it.

Thanks

Hello Anita,

From what I understood in your post, you are trying to set negative forecast values to 0. In this case, you have two options:

1) Implement BADI /SAPAPO/SDP_EXTRACT and place an ABAP coding in the CHANGE_OUTPUT method which sets the Key Figure Value to 0 if the original value is negative.

AND/OR:

2) Implement a Planning Book macro that performs that function.

Hope this helps.

it depends on the forecast strategy used....negative forecasts are automatically made zero by most strategies

some forecast strategy will generate negative forecasts ( am not sure which of them do).. but in that case you can use a macro to make it zero

I did not understand if you wanted Negative forecast or you want to zero out the negative ones

SCM 5.0 has Planning area parameters that will enable you to not allow non-sero numbers in KF

That link points to planning in BI.

In DP to the best of my knowledge ,you will have to use a macro to manage the negative forecast.
