PPDS - Overlapping Operations ( Start- Start) activity relationship

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We are having two operations 010 and 020 in a routing and we want to schedule both the operations at the same time and not in sequence. I believe that we can use the "required overlap functionality" in the routings for the parallel scheduling of the two operations.

After setting the overlap functionality when I trying to run SAP_PP_002 the operations in the PPDS order are being scheduled in sequence. In addition, the PPDS PDS also shows an End- start in the activity relationship (I don't know if this makes any difference)

Could one of the experts please let me know what are the settings in PPDS that you used to run the two sequential operations in parallel in APO?

Thanks in advance

Hii,

You can use Parallel sequence of  operations in the routing to make the activity in PDS/PPM as start to start  relationship. And PPDS heuristic will consider the same ..
