Fix process orders automatically

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

In PPDS, after converting planned orders to process orders, we fix them manually. Is there a way to fix automatically? Thanks.

If you do not wish to make any more changes to the dates and resource assignment for an operation or order, or if you do not wish to make any further changes to the resource schedule for a specific time segment, you can fix the operation, order or (for certain time intervals) the resource.

Fixing operations or orders -

This function is available on the detailed scheduling planning board or in the production planning run. If you have fixed an operation or order on the DS planning board, the associated order acquires the status date fixed and PP firmed.

An operation or order with the status date fixed (and thus also PP firmed) is fixed for detailed scheduling and production planning. If you reset the fixing on the planning board, the date fixed status is reset. If the corresponding order also has the status output firmed or input firmed, the PP firming is retained.

Process fixing intervals with heuristic

You can also create, replace, or delete fixing intervals using the heuristic SAP_DS_03. In addition, you can specify in the heuristic settings that the operations lying within the fixing interval that is to be created are to be fixed when the heuristic is executed. As a result, the operations are protected not only from changes due to the detailed scheduling but also from possible changes made in an MRP run. After execution of the heuristic, the order has the status Date Fixed and PP-Firmed.

That was quick! Thank you very much!
