Finite tank planning in APO 7.0

[Former Member]

Hi group members,

One of my customers said that when planning with PP/DS, the product silo's capacity should be considered and if the silo is connected into my customer's customer with a pipeline.

So I'm trying to model this requirements with container resource(storage resource) but how can I create container resource ?

1. Should this be transfered from R/3 or created in APO ?

2. What is the step-wise procedure for this modeling ?

Please instruct me for this.

Yeah, the problem is that you can't really define a container resource in ECC. All work centers are "time based".

Maybe there is an Industry Solution that allows other type of work centers, but I am not sure.

Hi Lee,

You can create and use container resources and model as Multimixed resource

in APO.

1. Should this be transfered from R/3 or created in APO ?

Both ways are possible

2. What is the step-wise procedure for this modeling ?

The following link will guide for creating and integrating

the multimixed resources as container resources

Dear Senthil,

Thanks for your input.

You mean that Should I transfer W/C form R/3 into APO and then define that resource as container resource ?

Or the resource shoud be defined as container capacity category ?

Would you please elaborate for the step ?

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Senthil,

Not sure if the link is not copied right but it just shows about how to transfer a resource from R/3 to APO.
