Optimizer with both finite and infinite capacity

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we're using the SNP optimizer for our mid-term planning.

We have different kind of production resources :

For finished goods we want to limit capacity during optimization run.

For intermediate products we just want to calculate the needed capacity but we do not want to limit it during optimization run.

So I check production capacity in optimizer profile, I check "finite capacity" in resource master for finished goods and uncheck in in resource master for intermediate products.

Still the optimizer is considering intermediate product resource capacity as a constraint.

Do you know how to achieve this requirement?

Thanks

Hi Nicolas,

by default all resources are considered finite in SNP Optimization.

you will need to enhance SNP Optimizer BADI to influence input log.

in Table ET_RESFAM, remove finite cap check for the reosurce you want to plan infinitely.

Another soltuon could be, in resource master maintain bucket capacity like 1000 hrs per day or may be more.

Let me know if you need more details.
