Error when loading multiple resource in Capacity View of SNP Planning Book

[Private_Member_738444]

Hi folks,

The issue is like this:

The planners are trying to do some rough-cut capacity planning at the manufacturing plants. Hence they want to see the total Capacity & Production quantity view for the summation of all the resources at any one manufactuing location.

Therefore in SNP planning book, when they enter the follwing Selection parameters:

__________________________________________________

APO Resource

Location = 6000

Resource Type = P (P for production)

__________________________________________________

All six resources mainatained at this location gets loaded & individual capacity of each could be seen. However when they try to select all of the resources together by SELECT ALL> LOAD> it gives the following error:

The resources selected have different dimensions: TIME AAADL

Error reading data- Planning Book cannot be processed further

I feel there is some problem in the Resource master data??

This is the problem for the location 6000 & 6001

However for 6003 its working fine.

Note : 6000, 6001 & 6003 are all manufactuing plants.

Any reason why these errors?

Hi

It looks like the setup of your Resource Master Data.

SNP Rough Cut Planning uses Bucket Capacities, so your resources would need to have a Bucket Dimension (Therefore single-Mixed, Multi-mixed or Bucket types)

This Dimension will also need to be maintained. As a guess I would say that you hve some resources which are multi-mixed, they have a Continuous Dimanesion assigned of Time (AAAADL) in the "Time Continuous" Tab and the "SNP Bucket" Tab has a Bucket Definition set to "From Continuous" e.g. gets the same values as the time-continuous calculation. Somewhere amongst your 6 resources, one or two of them are set up differently to this. Worth starting off checking that all the resources are set up the same way here.

Hey Ian,

Bingo! Your analysis was to the point.

We solved this issue exactly the way you mentioned, on the subsequent day itself, though I go to see your reply only today.

Thanks neverthless.
