APO DP - BADI for storing forecast error in mass processing

[Former Member]

I am using APO DP V5.

Does anyone have experience of using the BADI for storing the forecast error in mass processing?

My questions:

1. Which BADI is it?

2. Which forecast errors can it store (eg MAD, MAPE, customer specific errors?)

3. How does it work - does it store the fcst error(s) in a key figure, or a table?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob,

Go to SE19 --> create implementation: BADI name /sapapo/sdp_fcst4. give some Z name to implementation. Go to interface tab, select activate_fcst_version method, just write 1 line code inside:

ev_flag_active = 'X'.

activate the method, activate the BADI implementation too.

This BADI records background forecasting errors into these two tables: /sapapo/fcsthead & /sapapo/fcstaccu.

It stores all of the forecast errors including customer specific errors.

BADI - /SAPAPO/SDP_FCST4

The same error measures as defined in FOrecast Profile is used for storing - this can be any error measure (only one at a time)

You need to define Time Series keyfigures for storing the error. Read the documentation for the BADI for details.
