Hi PP Experts,
Can anybody please explain me what is Finite & Infinite scheduling with example only.Please do not suggest any link.
Hi,
Infinite shceduling make system to consider the capacity is Infinite/ Unlimited. So ther is no question of overload of cpacities. it will not show any Over load.
Finite scheduling tells system that capacity is Limited. so system checks for any work center whther Capacity is available or it already full. It dispalys overload.

Dear,
R/3 does planning without consideration for capacity situations. So if MRP says you need 500 parts on 3/1/04, it schedules them all to be built at the same time, even though you can only do 100 at a time. Assume you have a fixed lot size of 100, you'll get 5 planned orders for 100 to start on the same day. This is "Infinite Planning". APO would recognize that constraint, and instead schedule out the 5 orders over time. The important part of that is that it also will schedule out the deliveries of the components for 5 different days. This is "Finite Planning".
Now, assume old fashion MRP. It schedules all 5 orders for the same day, and the buyers go out an get all of the components for the same day. Then the planner realizes he can't do all 5, and manually changes the schedule, and manually spreads out the 5 orders. The buyers will recieve rescheduling notifications, but not until the scheduler does the manual rescheduling. You could call this "Infinite Scheduling", but that only means the same thing as Infinite Planning.

Hi,
System will not consider the available capacity & it will not show overload if you mark as infinite scheduling ie, capacity is infinitive.
If you make tick mark in finie scheduling, system will consider the available standard capacity for that corresponding workcenter and if overload system will show.
