Reg Scheduling Timings for PRODUCTION ORDERS

[Former Member]

Dear All

One issue is there regarding scheduling timings.

1. We have one finished goods,under this four semi finished materials

are there,these four semi finished products are produced by same work

center.

2.Demand is given for finished goods and run the MRP,Planned orders

are generated for finished goods as well as for four semi finished

materials depend on the In house productions days,up to here it is

fine.

3.Scheduling type is Backward Scheduling,Lead time scheduling and

capacity planning is used for MRP run.

4.The Scheduled dates for four Semi finished materials are same,So the

four Semi finished have to be produced on the same day and in same

work center.

5.The issue is the START TIME and FINISH TIME for four semifinshed

orders are SAME,which have to be produced in same work center on same

day,which it is not possible PRACTICALLY..The Client is asking for

exact START TIME and FINISH TIME of the order.

Capacity is calculating fine,so i need the inputs in scheduling point.(Totally 8 hrs are available, two hours per order,so it Should start one after another )

Pls give your valuable inputs.

Hi,

Just to brief on Mr. Dhaval's input:

After MRP run, use CM21. Input the Work center and Plant to display the Plan of the Work center. Now Drag and Drop the orders from the "Orders pool" to the "Work centers" chart depending on the priority of the order to be executed and Save the Orders to get the new dates to be updated on the Orders.

Now if you evaluate the Work center in CM01, you wil get the load as per the available capacity.

This will solve your requirement.

Hi,

This is standard behavior.Even if there are more than one plan orders generated for the same Semifinish or finish materials during MRP run you may find same Start and End Date/time for plan orders.

For this you have to perform Capcity Laveling later after MRP run.You can use T.Code CM21,CM25.

Hi,

Thanks for ur response,

I know the normal behaviour and capacity planning and levelling...

My scenario, i use capacity and scheduling different formula so i need better input.

If some can explain capacity planning overall profile with example it will help.

Here is an example on how to customize the Capacity Leveling Profile.

Define time profile in OPD2.

Assuming you want to create a time profile for 2 months.

Entry Type Start Date End Date

Database Read Period J -3 3

The database read period specifies the period in which capacity requirements are read

from the database. All requirements are accessed which are partially or completely

within the database read period.

Evaluation Period G -1 60

The evaluation period specifies the period over which data is formatted and displayed.

The evaluation period must lie within the database read period.

Planning Period G -1 60

The planning period defines the period in which the SAP system can carry out planning.

The planning period is smaller than or equal to the evaluation period. You cannot move

operations outside the planning period. Equally, when automatic finite scheduling is

carried out for an operation the system only searches for a new date within the planning

period.

Dispatch of backlog G Backlog dispatch Date = 0

The date for dispatching the backlog is of importance in period-related planning.

You use the date for dispatching the backlog to determine the date backlogs are to be

allocated.

The following types of entry are available:

Actual date specifications

These date specifications (for example, calendar day, calendar year) are only useful in

the profiles in exceptional cases.

Relative date specifications

These date specifications (for example, number of calendar days, number of calendar years)

are always calculated from the current day.

For every period, you can specify in what form you want to enter the date by using the

respective field "Type of entry".

Define the strategy profile in OPDB.

In this menu option you define strategy profiles to control capacity leveling with the

planning tables.

You can copy the standard strategy profile like SAPSFCVER1 or SAP_T001.

Assuming you copy the strategy profile to ZAPSFCVER1 ticking the followings:-

1. Dispatch at earliest point in time.

2. Change production version on error.

3. Cancel dispatching due to error.

4. Use operations floats.

5. Use float before production.

6. Use float after production.

and copy the strategy to ZAP_T001 ticking the Change Planning direction.

Define the Overall profiles in OPD0.

The overall profiles are used as follows to control capacity planning:

If you select the menu options:

Capacity planning -> Leveling -> Work center view -> Planning table, then the profile

SAPSFCG001 is processed in the standard version.

You can change the profile, but the SAP sub-profiles should remain unchanged as far as

possible.

You can define your own profiles and allocate them to particular users by means of user

parameters. (See user parameters CYA -> CYX)

For example, when you access the planning table enter using the application menu

"Capacity planning" -> Leveling -> Work center view -> Planning table

the user parameter "CYA" is operative.

You can select any overall profile you like by entering via the application menu

"Capacity planning" -> Leveling -> Variable.

Your details of the profile can be as follows:-

Profile ZONLINE ZBACKGRD

Selection profile SAPSFCS005 SAPSFCS001

Control profile SAP__C001 SAP__C002

Time profile ZTIME SAP__Z002

Evaluation profile SAP__A001 SAP__A001

Strategy profile SAP__T001 ZSTRATEGY

Period profile SAP__P002

Planning table profile SAPSFCL010

Prof. Plan tab (tab) SAPSFCR011

List profile SAPSFCI001 SAPSFCI001
