Difference between SNP Heuristics and PP/DS Heuristics

[former_member225637]

Dear Friends,

I have a basic question regarding Heuristics , is SNP Heuristics and PP/DS Heuristics are same

if not what is the key difference between them

i am very clear about PP/DS heuristics but not sure how heuristics is used for planning in SNP , i am able to read sap help , but could not able to get clear answer

Please help

Thanks & Regards

Hi Raj,

You are right.

SNP heuristic uses the transaction /SAPAPO/SNP01

and program /SAPAPO/RSNPDRP1

PPDS heuristic uses the transaction /SAPAPO/CDPSB0

and program /SAPAPO/BACKGROUND_SCHEDULING

Hope it is clear now.

Please confirm your query is resolved

Hi Raj,

Can you also take a look at this thread which talks about how SNP Heuristic works.

Hope this helps,

Hi Raj,

Heuristics is the simple algorithm which can be attached to any working

module to perform our business requirements.

PPDS Heuristics is used to create procurement proposals for uncovered product requirements

and to carry out planning tasks for products or orders.

This will be used during Production planning run and in interactive planning.

whereas

SNP heuristic is used during capacity levelling and deployment. The SNP Heuristic performs

requirements planning through the entire supply chain network to determine how to satisfy

the customer and/or consumer demand.

SNP heuristic, based on a repair-based planning approach, efficiently plans complex distribution

networks in multi-site production environments.

Dear Thanks,

so it means SNP Heuristics and PP/DS Heuristics are two different algorithms and maintained using two different t codes (different program ) in spro

am i right

Thanks & Regards
