When I create a Planned order using PDS, the Setup time is coming as 0.

[Former Member]

We have been using PPMs for a long time, and now we are trying to migrate to PDS.

We are currently in SCM 7.0.

I successfully created the PDS in APO (using CIF from R/3). In the PDS (in APO), for a particular activity, I see the activity type is "S", and the Activity Duratiion (Fixed) is 43,200 Seconds.

However, when I create a planned order using this PDS, the activity time is zero (End time = Start Time).

When we use the PPM the setup time comes correctly.

Any help will be appreciated..

Hi Guduri,

Please check the following.

1) Whether setup time is maintained in all operations in the routing in R/3

2) Check UoM is maintained correctly in set up time in operations

3) Use transaction PDS_MAINT in R/3 and change relevant fields required

and then recif using transaction curto_create in R/3

Senthil,

Thanks for your views.

I have checked all that you have suggested, and it is okay. The issue still persists.

One thing that I noticed was that it is working fine in the old SCM 5.0 environment - the setup time is coming correctly in the planned order.

However, we have this issue in the new SCM 7.0 environment. Is there something that is different in SCM 7.0 in terms order explosion ?
