Planning with forecast demand not supported in MRP Live in HANA

Help Document

Diagnosis

A forecast exists for the material and the forecast requirements are to be considered in the planning run. However, the MRP Live on HANA run does not support the planning of forecast requirements.

Note:

Do not confuse forecast requirements with planned independent requirements. MRP Live on HANA supports the planning of planned independent requirements. With regard to forecasts, MRP Live on HANA supports the following scenarios:

• Execution of a forecast for the total consumption. The forecast itself is not relevant to planning but can be used as the basis for planned independent requirements which are included in the MRP Live on HANA run.
• Execution of a forecast for the calculation of the reorder point and safety stock for consumption-based planning.

System Response

The MRP Live report plans the material using classic MRP.

Procedure

The planning run using classic MRP may be slower than the planning run using MRP Live on HANA. To enable the planning of the material in MRP Live on HANA, proceed as follows:

• Check whether the material was included in a forecast recently. If the material was only included in forecasts in the past for which forecast requirements still exist, they will prevent the material from being included in the MRP Live on HANA run. In this case, delete the forecasts or select an MRP procedure that does not take account of the forecast.
• If the forecast is executed for the total consumption and included in the planning run (for example, for the MRP procedure #VV#), you can define a similar process by setting the planning strategy group #10# (make-to-stock) in the material master and selecting an MRP procedure that enables the execution of the forecast for the total consumption whereby the forecast is not relevant to planning. Then you can use the forecast as the basis for planned independent requirements which can be included in the MRP Live on HANA run.
