Capacity Levelling in SNP

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I need to setup capacity leveling using SNP heuristics.

I am trying to understand how Capacity planning would work ; please share your thoughts:-

Scenario 1:

Product “Prod1”; has two PDS:

1.       PDS1 (Op -10: Res X and Op-20: Res Y)

2.       PDS2 (Op -10: Res P and Op -20: Res Q)

During SNP planning run Res Y gets overloaded.

Will capacity leveling (background) shift the load to PDS2?

Scenario 2:

Product “Prod1”; has two PDS:

1.       PDS1 (Op -10: Res X and Op-20: Res Y)

2.       PDS2 (Op -10: Res P and Op -20: Res Q)

X and P are alternate resource; similarly Y and Q are alternative; i.e. if Y gets overloaded no need to shift to PDS 2; just replacing Res Y with Res Q will be fine – How can this be achieved?

My basics requirement is how to define alternative resource which can be used for capacity leveling.

AC

Hi Vikas,

Scenario 1: SNP capacity leveling execution in background (/SAPAPO/SNP05) with 'Alternative Resources', considers the alternative resources based on different PDS i.e. Y's over load will be shifted to Q provided there is capacity available.

Scenario 2: SNP PDS supports one mode only. For each mode, you need to generate a SNP PDS (based on production version value while generating the integration model). Alternative sequence/Parallel sequence of ECC are supported only in PP/DS with alternative modes.

Thanks Rajesh for the reply:

"Scenario 1: SNP capacity leveling execution in background (/SAPAPO/SNP05) with 'Alternative Resources', considers the alternative resources based on different PDS i.e. Y's over load will be shifted to Q provided there is capacity available. "

- Does that mean PDS2 would be used insted of PDS1 if load is shifted from Y to Q.

Hi AC,

That's correct. The source of supply of shifted load will be PDS2.

Thanks,
Rajesh
