Transfer to R/3 using mixed periodicities is not allowed

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are in the process of implementing DP for one of our clients,

We are facing the following problem, while releasing the Demand ( as PIR) to SAP R/3.

Transfer to R/3 using mixed periodicities is not allowed

We have maintained below mentioned steps;

1.Periodicities of Planning area maintained only weekly buckets.

2. Maintain Transfer Profile (SAPAP/MC8U)

3. Define activities for Mass Processing (SAPAPO/MC8T)

4. Create Demand Planning for Background job

(SAPAPO/MC8D)

5. Schedule demand planning in Background (SAPAPO/MC8G)

6. Through SM37 I checked the Spool List.*Error: Transfer to

R/3 using mixed periodicities is not allowed*

Kindly request if anyone knows provide solution.

if you are using all these transactions you must be using a planning book

that planning book will have mixed periodicities in its time buckets profile

change that to a single profile or use a planning book that has one period in its TBP

check

- If theres any initial period. if so remove the initial period indicator check from planning area design

- just guessing if any period split profile if defined. though not sure. if this affects during transfer to ECC,

I think you can have only month, quarter and year in your storage bucket profile when you release forecast to ECC.

Anything lesser than that will give you an error when you release forecast to ECC.

If you want to send forecasts in weekly buckets, then you need to maintain the period split profile (Transaction /SAPAPO/SDP_SPLIT - Maintain Period Split Profile ) and assign this profile to the transfer profile.
