Life Cycle Planning in SAP APO DP

Setup Lifecycle Planning – like Pro le setup / Assignment Part -2

Creating Phase in and Phase out

We de ne phase in and phase out pro le to model the life cycle of Old and New
Products.

If the phase out pro le period is within the history horizon speci ed in the
master forecast pro le. the system adjusts the corrected history. If the phase in
pro le period is within the future horizon speci ed in the master forecast pro le,
the system directly adjusts the Forecast Key Figure. We must set the Lifecycle
planning Active indicator in the Master Forecast pro le

Phase-In pro le

Using phase-in pro le in Demand Planning, we can simulate the launch phase of
any product life cycle. A phase-in pro le changes the demand history or demand
forecast of a product by given percentages during a speci ed period or periods.

In Demand Planning, we can also use Like pro le to generate forecast for a new
product based on existing product. In this kind of scenarios we can adjust the
historical data of the “like” product upwards to correct the downward trend in
Shares demand during the “like” product’s discontinuation phase.

Step 1

Execute the transaction /SAPAPO/MSDP_FCST1- you will reach the following

screen.

After clicking on the Phase In/out button, you will reach the “Time Series
Maintenance” screen.

Step 2 – Create Time Series Maintenance

1. Create the Time Series ID (Phase In) ZDEPH_IN_001 and Description.

2. Give the Phase in Start date and End date and the Period Indicator

If we are launching a new product from 1st Aug, 2011 and that will end by 31st
Dec, 2011 and the period Indicator is “M”

3.Select the ag “Before Start date, apply constant factor” –  “0” (its not showing
the above screen shot.) you use a constant factor before the start date with a
value of 0 in a phase-in pro le. You can also enter other values.

And  “After end date, apply constant factor” – 100%

sales. So we give an increasing % values to attain the targeted sales by the phase
in end date.
