Hi Gurus,
Please brief me on the significance of setup group and setup matrix in APO and the effect of the same in planning?
Thanks,
Prasanth
Hi Prashanth,
Based on your query, components of different products can be clubbed
together based on their characteristics say like colour, weight, properties
For example, if you are having 3 different item categories with low weight
SKUs, medium weight SKUs and high weight SKUs but the resource used
for making is same, then you can categories these by creating set up
matrix which will tell you the switch over time between low to medium,
medium to high etc., and accordingly based on the demand, the plan will
be generated by system. Hope this concept is clear now.
PP heuristics is used to create procurement proposals for uncovered product
requirements and also to carry out planning tasks for products or orders or
resources. One of the typical example for planning task is scheduling
Planning procedures are delivered by SAP to meet various types of business
and planning scenarios. Say for eg, if you need to plan manually, there is
a procedure that you need to select and maintain, for automatic, there is a
separate procedure.
Hope all your queries are addressed.

Hi Prashanth,
Setup group tries to group products with similar characteristics.
Setup matrix provides the sequence in which the set up groups
can be executed.
Setup sceanrio is used in cases where in the time taken for switching
over from one product or group of products or category of products or
charactersitics of products which is called as predecessor to another
product or group of products or category of products or characteritiss of
products which is called as successor.
Say for eg, if you are having a scenario wherein
you need to manufacture products with low weight,
medium weight and heavy weight products.
You can define in the set up matrix that for switch
over from low weight to medium weight products for
manufacturing, the set up time involved in 2 hours and
the setup cost involved is Rs.100,
Similarly, for switching over from heavy weight products
to medium weight products, the set up time involved
is 3 hours and the set up cost involved is Rs.50.
Based on this information, system will frame a matrix
of information and use during planning.
Hope this information is clear to you.
Please confirm whether your issue is resolved.

Hi Senthil,
Thanks for the immediate reply.
Could you please enlignten on one more, as setup group is the grouping of materails, how we will group components of different finished product together as we will be planning all the materials based on the demand. As you told that its grouping of materials having similar characteristics, considering our planning,how we will group it. Kindly elaborate.
Moreover appreaciate if you can give me a brief about heuristics and PP planning procedure in PP DS and how both these get into effect. Please provide me with some documents on heuristics.
Thanks,
Prasanth
