Hi,
Setup groups are used in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling in SAP APO as mentioned below :-
For single resources the setup group characterizes the setup status required for processing an operation.
The system can use a setup matrix during detailed scheduling to adjust the setup time for an operation according to the sequence of operations or during setup optimization to define the optimal sequence of operations. Setup keys are used to provide a more detailed classification of setup statuses within a setup group.
For multiresources the setup group characterizes any particular characteristic of an operation, for example, the temperature at which an operation is carried out. The system can synchronize operations with the same characteristic and the same duration, that is, it can plan them simultaneously on one resource.
Setup group and setup matrix in APO are location dependant.
/sapapo/cdpsc6 -> selection of setup groups
/sapapo/cdpsc7 -> Select setup matrix
Hope this is will help.
