Hi Venkatesh,

The service name itself says clearly what is the functionality of it.

DemandPlanningCharacteristicValueCombinationCreateRequestConfirmation_In --- is to craete the Charateristic Value combnations (CVCs) which we create generally through /SAPAPO/MC62.

1. DemandPlanningScenarioID --- Planning area

2. DemandPlanCharacteristicID --- Characteristic (e.g 9AMATNR)

3. DemandPlanCharacteristicValue --- Characteristic Values(e.g BANGALORE)...

Regards,

Deepthi

Hi Deepthi,

When you create CVC , through transaction /sapapo/MC62 , the value of Planning Object Structure (MPOS) is required. But in Enterprise Service , it is asking for the name of Planning Area and NOT MPOS. Can you please clarify this...there seems to be a disconnect between MC62 and Enterprise Service.

Please check the following log while executing the Enterprise Service.

Hi Venkatesh,

1) In the case of ES we have web service only to create the Demand planning scenario (Planning area) but not for PLOB. And when you create this Demand planning scenario via service you need to enter both cahracteristics & key figures. And inturn the system creates PLOB with those characteristics. Did you create any Demand planning scenario via web service.

Are you using the planning area which was created in the SCM backend?

You cannot use the planning area created manually through /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN in this Web service. So before creating CVCs via this Web service you need to create the Demand planning scenario.

After creating the Demand planning scenario check for /SAPAPO/MSDP_ADMIN for both planning area(same name as above) and there will be a new PLOB created as well.

For more information check out APO-DP wiki for DP Web services.

I hope this helps..

Regards,

Deepthi
