DS board profiles

[Former Member]

1. In DS Board --  we have DS strategy profile as SAP001 and PP strategy profile as SAP002 and we are running Heuristics like -- schedule sequence, remove backlog etc . These Heuristics have their own strategy settings related to scheduling mode and planning direction- how DS strategy profile or PP strategy profile influences the production planning and scheduling here ?

(a)Taking an example --In PP strategy profile(SAP002), the scheduling mode is -- 'infinite scheduling' while in case of DS strategy profile it is 'find slot'.Heuristic 'remove backlog' has scheduling mode as 'insert operation'. If I run heuristic 'remove backlog' in DS board then what scheduling mode will be chosen by system out of 3 -- Find slot, infinite and insert ?

(b)In case planning directions are different between PP strategy profile, DS strategy profile and the Heuristic being run --then which planning direction will be chosen ?

Thanks in advance for help.

Hi Learner,

The DS strategy is used for the following actions: Reschedule, deallocate, interrupt operation, fix, cancel fix, and reschedule using drag and drop.

The PP strategy is used for the following (order processing) functions: create order, create based on templateedit, change quantity and change source of supply.

For DS functions such as scheduling or rescheduling, for example, the system uses the DS strategy profile whereas it uses the PP strategy profile for PP functions such as creating an order or changing an order quantity.

Please refer consulting note 663297 - Strategy settings for planning (documentation)

Hi Learner 123,

In the case of a heuristic (like SAP002 - Remove Backlog), neither DS Strategy nor PP Strategy are used. Instead, the strategy settings maintained for the heuristic itself in /SAPAPO/CDPSC11 are taken into account.

You can see and change the strategy settings of the heuristic within the DSPB in menu Settings -> Heurisics... .

For PP functions and DS functions, it works as described by Rupesh.

Tiago
