  • SAP APO DP Automation of IBP Ops Forecast Alignment Using Disaggregation

    This document proposes automating the alignment of forecasts between SAP APO DP and IBP BPC using disaggregation. It would calculate the difference between the operational forecast in APO DP and the IBP BPC forecast, load this difference into the unconfirmed base figure in APO DP, and disaggregate across categories. This would help remove business risk and create more accurate, regularly updated alignment between the two systems for over 2,700 categories of ambient grocery and cake products.

    ADR Description USER REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION (all sections to be completed before submitting ADR for
    authorisation)

    1. ADR Objectives:To use SAP APO DP to calculate the gap between the IBP BPC Forecast and the
    Operational Forecast and then aligne by plans by adding in the difference in APO DP using the
    Unconfirmed Base Key Figure in APO DP.
    It is to be detemined between the Operational Forecasting Team and the ADR Development Team how the
    process will be delivered.
    It is envisaged by the ADR initiator as follows:
    Timing: to be performed as part of any Forecast Release.
    The Unconfirmed Base Key Figure must be zeroed for all periods before the onset of this process.
    A full forecast recalculation is required before the Disaggregation Process begins.
    The system will require a method of using the correct IBP BPC version (especially at Budget Planning
    Times).
    The system will use a Monthly APO DP Planning Book to select a given set of CVC's (listings), with Key
    Figures in Tonnes of Final Base, Unconfirmed Base & Final Forecast & IBP BPC equivalent category
    Forecast Numbers. e.g. for the Category Tesco Bisto Standard Gravy, the planning book would select all
    Live Tesco Bisto Standard Gravy Listings, and would also select the IBP Equivalent Plan.
    The system would then calculate the difference between the Ops Forecast and the IBP and load this
    number into the Unconfirmed Base Figure, this would be disaggregated using the Confirmed Base Key
    Figures.
    This step must be repeated for each of the IBP BPC Categories that are extant. There are currently over
    2700.
    At the end of this process a full recalculation of the Forecast must be performed before the forecast is
    released.

    2. Scope and Exclusions of ADR:Calculations would compare the IBP BPC and Ops Forecast in Tonnes.
    This would only be performed on Ambient Grocery and Cake Areas. Hovis Areas are outside scope.
    An ability to exclude certain business areas from Disaggregation (e.g. Cake) is essential. This would need
    to be able to be edited and controlled by the Ops Forecasting Team.

    3. ADR Deliverables: Removal of business risk and the ability to create more accurate and regularly
    updated alignment of the IBP BPC to the Ops Forecast.

    4. Training Requirements:None, the system will operate outside of normal planining operations and be
    performed by system based operations.

    5. Known Constraints:None

    6. ADR Assumptions:That IBP Plan Numbers are correctly controlled and maintained and available. It is
    also essential that this process happens before any Forecast release and can be completed within all
    normal APO DP Processes and updates. This process must be fitted in and the timing of other processes
    may need to be changed to ensure this can be accommodated.
    Reason for Change Time Is it absolutely
    essential for
    Legal /
    Accreditation /
    Customer
    reasons ?
    Benefits A Business Critical Process would be brought into controlled ISC operations, and no longer be dependent
    Description on one single Premier Foods person, would allow weekly recalculatioins which would provide a far better
    service to the business than currently available.

    Consequence of The Current Process provides incorrect and incomplete numbes, is flakey (using a Spreadsheet System)
    not doing change and causes Business Risk as the source data can only be completed by one user. At some state the
    business process will create incorrect numbers which cause major Planning Issues.

    Wipro do not have the resources to progress this ADR. Trevor has been asked if Deepak can provide any help. (18/12/2012

    SEnt to Wipro for s&e on 3/8/12 (31/10/2012 16:14:09 - Rachel Greenwood)
    ---------------
    We do not have a viable way to delivered this at present. There is thought to be a BPM dependency, as well as a lack of BPC skills
    within wipro, (BPC hasnot yet be transitioned to wipro). (31/10/2012 16:13:59 - Rachel Greenwood)
