SAP SCM Demand Planning Configuration

1 PurposeThe purpose of this document is to describe the general configuration steps required tomanually set up the configuration within the system landscape that has already been installedusing the corresponding installation or configuration guides for installation.

This document supplements the existing Customizing documentation in the ImplementationGuide (IMG) and provides additional information where required.

2 Preparation

2.1 PrerequisitesBefore you start working on this scenario, you must have implemented the prerequisite

building blocks. For more information, see the Building Block Prerequisites Matrix for SAPDemand Planning Analytics rapid-deployment solution. You will find this document in thecontent library, attached to the roadmap.

3 ConfigurationThe following section describes the complete settings for this building block. These settingscan be divided into three main groups:

Prerequisite settings that have to be checked and which were delivered by SAP (aspart of the standard delivery)

The term Check refers to these prerequisite settings.

Settings defined by the customer (in the customer namespace and customer-

specific):

The system uses automation to request individual customer settings during thepersonalization process. These settings can be initial or reused from existingSAP ERP layers and are indicated in the text by <your value>.

Additional settings that need to be made, covered either by automation or manualconfiguration (in the customer namespace)

The term Create refers to these additional settings in the text.

3.1 Setting up Demand Planning

3.1.1 Creating the Storage Bucket Profile

Use A storage buckets profile defines the time buckets in which data based on a given planningarea is saved in Demand Planning or Supply Network Planning. You need a storage bucketprofile before you can create a planning area. You need to define a storage bucket profilebefore you can create a planning area.

3.6 Setting up Roles and Authorizations

PurposeThe SAP authorization concept protects transactions, programs, and services in SAP systemsfrom unauthorized access. On the basis of the authorization concept, the administratorassigns authorizations to the users that determine which actions a user can execute in theSAP system, after he or she has logged on to the system and completed the authenticationprocess.

To access business objects or execute SAP transactions, a user requires the correspondingauthorizations, since business objects or transactions are protected by authorization objects.




© SAP AG of 130

The authorizations represent instances of generic authorization objects and are definedaccording to the tasks and responsibilities of the employee. The authorizations are groupedinto an authorization profile that is associated with a role. The user administrators then assignthe corresponding roles using the user master record, so that the user can use thecorresponding transactions for his or her tasks.

Use

This chapter describes the security roles and authorization set up required to support theDemand Planning scenario.

As described in the SCM Demand Planning BPD document, there are five SAP roles definedto support the process:

Local Demand Planner (AME Area). This role is assigned to a sales/demand plannerwho is responsible for America region.

Local Demand Planner (APJ Area). This role is assigned to a sales/demand plannerwho is responsible for Asia-Pacific, Japan region.

Local Demand Planner (EU Area). This role is assigned to a sales/demand plannerwho is responsible for Europe region.

Central Demand Planner. This role is assigned to a sales/ demand planner,responsible for the central demand plan. The central demand plan covers all theareas.

Demand Planning Administrator. This role covers the administrative functions tomonitor and maintain the demand planning system with regards to dataadministration, master data maintenance and batch processes.

The Core Interface (CIF) Administrator role will be required in the DP scenario if the demandplan is going to be released to ECC. This role is not covered in this document.

3.6.1 Role Overview

Modified versions of the SAP Standard delivered roles are used in this scenario in order torestrict to specific planning books and selection ID used in the demand planning scenario andto use the Business Intelligence (BI) authorization concept.

For more information on authorization objects relevant to Demand Planning, see theapplication help for Demand Planning:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/ed/f061c18ddd79448c49064f0e645725/frameset.htm

3.6.2 BI Authorization in Demand PlanningBusiness Intelligence (BI) has its own authorization concept that differs in some details fromthe normal SAP authorization concept. You can use the BI authorization concept to restrictthe ability to access specific characteristics or characteristic values in Demand Planning.

Since organizations are set up differently for each implementation and assignments of localplanners are specific to the implementation, you may modify the authorization based on yourrealized organizational structure by following the steps mentioned below. This sectiondescribes how to create or modify the role based on the organization‟s requirement.

3.6.2.1 Authorization Relevant InfoObjects

UseWe only enable navigation attribute Area (attribute of characteristic Region) in the demandplanning object structure for BI authorizations control. The authorization relevant flag need tobe set up on the InfoObjects definition in the BI Administrator Workbench.

Procedure1. Access the activity using the following navigation options:

In step 7, choose the Business Explorer tab page.

In step 9, you do not need to find any row. Select the Authorization Relevantradio button.

If some objects are inactive due to this change, re-activate these objects.

In addition, other infoobjects are also required to be flagged as authorization relevant. In

standard delivered SAP, these objects are not flagged as authorization relevant, so you need

to change the following objects following the hits above.

0TCAACTVT - Activity in Analysis Authorizations

0TCAIPROV - Authorizations for InfoProvider

0TCAVALID - Validity of an Authorization

You can find these characteristics under InfoArea Unassigned Notes and InfoObject Catalog

Unassigned Characteristics. By using Search in the middle window, you can locate the 3

characteristics mentioned above more efficiently.
