Schedule operation with downtime in between

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Experts,

When creating a planned downtime in the resource in TA /sapapo/res01 and trying to reschedule orders in the DS planning board any order is scheduled to start before the break and end after the break.

Our users wants the order to be schedule in order to start before the break and end after the break. Any idea to control this?

Example: an order with duration of 3 days starting on 11.07.2011 and ending on 14.07.2011, if we insert a break on 12.07.2011 we would like to have the order scheduled from 11.07.2011 to 12.07.2011 and them from 13.07.2011 to 15.07.2011.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks and BR

Hi Mauricio,

There are two thing one is downtime, second is break(shift break)

1. If you want to extend the operation during the downtime it is not possible with standarad SAP but you can do it by implementing BADI /SAPAPO/CRESDOWNTIME. Refer to SAP Note 448601 which gives sample coding for same.

2. If it is break you can define activity is interuptable by break in master data i.e. PPM and acheive results as required by you.

Hi,

I could see the below lines from sap library which will be helpful to you.

Scheduling during a downtime u2212 due to a machine breakdown or maintenance, for example u2212 is not possible.

Activities that take longer than one continuous working time may have to be interruptible by non-working times in order to be capable of being scheduled.

So can you try using the " interrupt operation functionality " availablle in DS board.

Thanks,
