Hi Ada, by de-initialize you do mean deleting the PA's time series objects (which I did) and create the TSO's again. This didn't change the internal factors and there was only a single version attached to the PA.
An example. If I add demand into June in Demand planning and transfer this to ECC with the split profile, the first demand appears in ECC on the 26.05.2014. Although small, it creates confusion. I do understand that June 1 is in week 22, which is the same week that 26 May is in and this is the reason the demand appears.
If you then try and compare the monthly time buckets in ECC with DP there is a variance because of this.
What we're trying to achieve is the first demand for this month should be on 3rd June (2nd is a public holiday for us) and all of the demand to be split into weeks 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 according to the work days in each of these weeks, not the calendar days. So if our demand was 20, it would split 4, 5, 5, 5, 1.
To may sure I understand correctly:
Internal factors are used to calculate the disagregation in DP. So if you use a data view in weeks to transfer the forecast it calculates on the internal factors which we can't change.
The period split attached to the transfer profile and is driven from what is set up in the period split and distribution function. This is not influenced by the internal factors.
