System not taking into account production resource calendar settings

[anil_desouza]

Hi Experts,

The client is implementing heuristics for which we need to make changes to the production calendar. However this change impacts the following business scenario:

Description:

In a make-to-order sales order scenario, we create an order for a BOM material. Based on the production BOM, APO PPMs and other master data settings system creates a planned order in the system. Our goal is to control the scheduling of this planned order in the system.

The control condition is:

if a sales order is created before 3 am local time, then the planned order should be created on the same day. But if the order is created after 3 am local time, then the planned order should be created the next day.

Settings maintained in SCM-APO to achieve this:

We are trying to achieve this by keeping the production resource calendar open from 2 am to 3 am (tcode /sapapo/res01) on working days. The production calendar at the location level (tcode /sapapo/loc3) is open 24/7 because for other business processes like heuristics run etc, we need the production calendar open 24/7. As per the SAP help, system is expected to overlap both, the production resource calendar and location production calendar while scheduling a sales order. If system were actually doing an overlap, any sales order created after 3 am with same day requested delivery date would create a planned order tomorrow instead of today. But in current environment, system ignores the production resource calendar and creates a planned order on the same day.

Dear Anil,

Have you configured the same calendar in APO also?

Calendar does not get CIFed. Secondly the field of factory calendar will get populated in resource master but will not get considered in planning.

I am assuming that PPM/PDS is there in the system.
