Hi,

If you change the formulae in Scheduling tab, it will directly impact the Order finish date.

Hi,

I meant whatever change you do will directly affect the finish date calculation (Scheduling) of the order.

If you reduce setup formula so that it reduces the setup time by 2 hrs your order finish date will be reduced by 2 hrs. And if you donot maintain any formula scheduling will not take place at all.

Hello,

Set-Up formula to be specific, it is mandatory to indicate on this field. are client want to achieve that if the finished product to be create in a production order at first time in production it is basically compute the set-up machine time included in computing the finished date/time. and he mentioned right after the succeding production order for this finished product the set-up machine time must not be included since it the 1st PO the time to set-up the machine should be now disregarded by the 2nd PO for this finished product.

thats why i think set-up formula for this should be blank but it is not possible it is mandatory. what should i do now in order the set-up time could not be pick in computing the production order finish date/time?

Thanks

Hi,

You can use SAP std formula SAP001, which has a setup time of zero minutes.

you can check the same in SAP_01 key OP17 which is used in SAP001 formula (defined in OP21).

If you use this formula by default your operation (assigned to this WC) will have zero setup time. You can change it if required or leave it as it is if you want zero as setup time.

Dear,

You can create two routings.

1. First one with set up time and

2. Second routing without giving set up time.

For first time when you are making production order use first routing and from next time you can use second routing.

Hope it will help you.

Hello,

Is there an idealistic that there is NO SET-UP TIME for a machine in every production order even the product is always the same product that many is doing?

Thats what our client idea on this set-up time machine, once the product will have another PO, since that machine was already set-up on its 1st production of the finished good in the 2nd time the machine time to produce will only be the one to be compute in the finish date/time for the PO?

Hi,

There is a different manufacturing method called Repetitive manufacturing. In this, setup time will not consider for any order. Due to same product or similar product, setup time need not required or considerably very less compare to machining time.

Dear,

Ok then don't maintain any time for set up in routing it will work for you.

Hello

How was this can be set-up in repetitive manufacturing?

my client is in repetitive mfg, the work center category they use is (Machine traceble) why does if they manually create a production order the set-up machine time was pick up

Thanks

Hi,

In REM, there is no Setup time. More over in REM, no Production order concept. When MRP run system will create only planned order. Against this planned order, we can confirm the production qty.

If you are creating production order means it might be rework order ( Discreate). To calculate cost and other activities they might included setup time.

For rework order, setup time is necessary for all orders when you create.

Dear,

What you want to change in that?

If you keep blank, then no scheduling take place in order so it is mandatory to have these formula at work center.

You can use the Std SAP forlmula's unless & until you have unique requirement,You can check the formula minatined for set up,processing time,tear down etc in OP21

OP17-Formula Parameters

OP21 -Formula definition
