Unit 2: Introduction

SCM360

Lesson: Capacity Planning Environment Lesson Overview This lesson provides an overview of Supply Chain Planning, as well as the capacity planning components and display types.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • • •

Integrate capacity planning into the R/3 production planning functions. Understand the components of capacity planning. Display the capacity situation.

Business Example You are running a manufacturing company and want to obtain an overview of capacity planning. You therefore want to find out about the capacity planning environment, and about available capacity and pegged requirements, in particular.

Figure 1: Supply Chain Planning Overview

Supply Chain Planning is usually broken down into several steps. Different components can be used to execute these steps. Demand Planning (used, for example, to derive a future demand program from the past demand figures) can be executed in Flexible Planning (with the special case of SOP - Sales and Operations Planning).

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Capacity Planning Environment

Planned independent requirements are maintained in Demand Management. Sales orders are always created in SAP ECC. A capacity availability check is not performed with Material Requirements Planning (MRP). Capacity Planning must be executed separately in a second step. Production execution, in other words the processing of manufacturing orders, takes place in Supply Chain Manufacturing.

Figure 2: Capacity Planning Environment

Master data, planned orders and production orders provide data that can be used to represent available capacities and capacity requirements. In SAP ECC, master data comprises material masters, routings, and work centers. The available capacity is a measure of the work that a capacity can perform per workday. The capacity requirement is a measure of the work required by the individual orders at a capacity at a certain point in time. Scheduling is used to determine the times of the capacity requirements. In the capacity evaluations, these requirements can be compared with the available capacities. In capacity leveling, capacity shortfalls and overloads can be leveled. You can use alternative suitable resources for processing or you can use the sort criteria to plan optimal loading.

Unit 2: Introduction

SCM360

Figure 3: Capacity Planning / Elements

The available capacity represents the capacity available for production at a work center or resource. You can schedule the sequence of operations to determine the times for the capacity requirements. To calculate the capacity requirements, the system uses formulas containing the dates and quantities for production requirements. The capacity evaluation gives you an overview of the load and the production requirements. Capacity leveling allows you to achieve optimal planning and an optimal load. Capacity reduction occurs when operations are confirmed or order quantities are reduced or cancelled.

Lesson: Material Requirements Planning, Production Order

It is mainly used in the automatic dispatching and deallocation of operations for predefined work centers in the background. For example, you can specify that, for specific work centers, the pool of orders is automatically dispatched at the start of each week. Mass processing is only possible with the capacity planning table. The following profiles may affect mass dispatching when you call the overall profile: • • •

Selection Profile Strategy Profile Time Profile

The requirements grouping and planning do not influence the individual capacities. Note the material availability after mass dispatching or mass rescheduling. This can be determined using a collective availability check.

Lesson: Repetitive Manufacturing

The following data is displayed for the planning object: • • •

Name of the production line Capacity available in the production line Total capacity requirements for the production line

The percentage capacity load resulting from the capacity requirements or the capacity requirements for the run schedule headers produced on this line. In the Detailed Information section, you can specify the quantities per period over a specific period under examination. From the quantities that you enter in the Details on the Line per material per period section, the system calculates the capacity requirements and the load on the production line. The quantities can therefore be aligned with the available capacities.

A material can have several bills of material (BOMs) that determine the components for production. The production process can also be described in different routings. The data regarding the various methods used to manufacture the material is saved in the production versions assigned to the material. A production version can therefore comprise the following data: • • • •

A material can have one or more production versions. The data on individual production versions is located at plant level. You can define the production version numbers as you like. However, each number must be unique. You can use production versions to deal with the following situations: • •

Production using various resources (for example, two different production lines) Production using various processes (for example, different routings)

Individual production quantities can be assigned to different production versions, for example, to achieve uniform utilization of the various alternative production lines.

Figure 15: Planning Levels

Capacity requirements can be generated for the various scheduling levels in different applications, that is, at different planning levels. The capacity requirements that have been generated for a product in an application at a particular point in time, as a result of detailed, rate-based, and rough-cut scheduling, exist in the system in parallel. You can view the capacity requirements separately at each level. When a planned order is converted to a production order, the production order is rescheduled and the planned order is deleted. In this case, the capacity requirements for rough-cut planning and rate-based planning are copied to the production order. Rough-cut planning is long-term, aggregated planning. It is period-oriented and uses rough-cut planning profiles.

Lesson: Repetitive Manufacturing

Rate-based planning is suitable for medium-term, period-oriented planning and uses a rate routing. Detailed planning is suitable in the short term and uses a routing, which means that you can plan for specific points in time.

Figure 16: Simultaneous Use of Different Planning Levels

Repetitive manufacturing and discrete manufacturing can occur at the same plant. In this example, run schedule headers and production orders are used with the same inspection work center. The production orders and inspection work centers use detailed scheduling. Repetitive manufacturing uses rate-based scheduling.

SCM360

Lesson: Tabular Capacity Planning Table Lesson Overview This lesson discuss the handling of the tabular capacity planning table.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Use the leveling functions on the tabular capacity planning table

Business Example In your production process, you want to level the capacity loads on the resources. To do this, you use the capacity leveling functions to compare the capacity requirements with the available capacity. Capacity leveling is first carried out with the tabular capacity planning table and then saved after the results are checked.

Figure 28: Capacity Planning Environment (3)

The main function of capacity leveling is to dispatch operations. Operations are dispatched in order to fix them at a point in time when there is sufficient capacity for them to be carried out.

76

© 2006 SAP AG. All rights reserved.

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Tabular Capacity Planning Table

Depending on whether finite scheduling is to take place, operations can be dispatched on the basis of unlimited available capacity or existing available capacity. The existing available capacity is equal to the difference between the available capacity maintained in the work center and the capacity requirements already scheduled. If necessary, you can specify a different work center during dispatching.

Figure 29: Capacity Leveling Measures

To achieve the objectives listed in the preceding slide, you can proceed as follows: •

• • •

Adjust the available capacity, either by increasing the standard available capacity for the relevant capacity category, or by inserting a time-restricted interval of available capacity in order to increase the available capacity. Define an alternative work center with remaining available capacity, for example, by using a work center hierarchy to call up the planning table. Use scheduling (either finite scheduling or manual scheduling on the planning table) to find a period with sufficient remaining available capacity. Form optimal sequences to reduce setup times.

You can only reduce/split the lot, or specify that operations are to be assigned externally, in the production order.

Figure 30: Capacity Leveling Interfaces

The capacity planning module offers two interfaces. The main capacity planning module and its various views: • •



Work center view: Here you restrict the selection for specific work centers. Work centers and capacities are displayed in the planning tables. Individual capacity view: Here you restrict the selection for specific work centers. You can dispatch operations both to work centers/capacities and to the corresponding individual capacities. Order view: Here you restrict the selection for specific orders. All the work centers and capacities affected are displayed for one or more orders.

Leveling can also be carried out directly from production order maintenance. Depending on the overall profile set for the production controller, you branch to either the capacity planning table or the tabular capacity planning table. If no overall profile has been stored for the production scheduler, the capacity planning table is called up using the overall profile SAPSFCG001.

Figure 31: Tabular Capacity Planning Table

The tabular capacity planning table has the following display types: • •

One work center/capacity with available capacity, load, scheduled, and pool for several periods Several work centers/capacities with available capacities and loads for several periods

The tabular capacity planning table can be called up for the work center view, the individual capacity view, and the order view. Available capacities and distributed capacity requirements are displayed. The unit of display for the available capacity and capacity requirements is specified in the evaluation profile. The tabular capacity planning table is divided into a resource section and a requirements section. The resource section contains the following: the name of the work center or the capacity and capacity category, scheduling periods, scheduled capacity requirements, and requirements in a pool that have yet to be scheduled. In the requirements section, you can display requirements that have already been scheduled and/or have not been scheduled yet.

Unit 5: Capacity Leveling in Tabular Form

SCM360

Figure 32: Capacity Planning Table

The capacity planning table enables you to carry out detailed planning of capacity requirements continuously over time. The capacity planning table consists of several charts arranged horizontally in which the available capacity (operating time) and the capacity requirements (operation duration) are grouped according to various criteria and can be displayed on the same axis. For example, all the capacity requirements for one order, or all the capacity requirements that have been scheduled on one capacity, can be grouped together. Each chart can have its own title bar and it comprises a table section and a diagram section: • •

80

The table section contains information for identifying and describing the objects displayed in the diagram section. The diagram section has a window on a virtual time axis in which the available capacity and the capacity requirements are displayed in graphical form with the start and finish date. This window displays the same section for all the charts. You can change this section as much as you like by altering the scale.

Lesson: Tabular Capacity Planning Table

Figure 33: Dispatching Procedure

The main function of capacity leveling is to dispatch operations. Operations are dispatched in order to fix them at a point in time when there is sufficient capacity for them to be carried out. If you have set the Finite scheduling indicator in the strategy profile, the system looks for remaining available capacities depending on the planning direction. If necessary, the user can specify another work center during dispatching. The work center cannot be locked or marked for deletion. Operations with the “dispatched” status can only be moved with the planning table after an order has been changed. A planning log is written for all planning activities. If errors occur during dispatching, the process can be terminated (you can make this setting in the strategy profile). Midpoint scheduling is dealt with in detail in the Scheduling and Capacity Requirements unit.

Figure 34: Dispatching Types (Tabular)

This slide illustrates the four ways of determining the dispatching date. In the third way, a distinction is made between internally processed operations (maintenance orders and networks) and operations that are subdivided into operation segments (production orders). The dispatching date for: internally processed operations according to the strategy profile: • •

is the earliest/latest start date depends on the distribution keys

Operations with operation segments (always with the latest start date for the operation) In the first way, you can also change the date, time, and work center. The fourth way of carrying out dispatching is only possible on the capacity planning table, and is dealt with in detail in the Capacity Leveling in Graphical Form unit. To ensure that operations are not dispatched automatically on the capacity planning table or the tabular capacity planning table, set the Date entry when dispatching indicator in the strategy profile. If this indicator is set, the system displays a dialog box in which you specify the dispatching date when you execute the Dispatch function.

Unit 6: Available Capacity

SCM360

Lesson: Maintaining Available Capacities Lesson Overview This lesson talks about maintaining the available capacity with intervals of available capacity.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • •

Maintain the available capacity Maintain and assign shift sequences

Business Example In the production process, you have made some capacity available. This can be defined differently for each workday, depending on the plant calendar. You therefore use intervals at capacities to increase the available capacity for periods where capacity requirements are high. You can maintain these manually or using shift sequences.

Figure 35: Capacity Planning Environment (4)

The available capacity is the work that can be done by a capacity at a work center per working day.

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Maintaining Available Capacities

The available capacity is defined by the work start and work finish, the break durations, the capacity utilization, and the number of machines or persons.

Figure 36: Work Center Data

The work center contains several groups of data that are located on different screens. This example only shows the most important ones for capacity planning.

Unit 6: Available Capacity

SCM360

You can allocate as many capacities as you like to a work center. Capacity categories are used to identify capacities that belong to the same category. A capacity category can only be allocated once per work center. You can maintain a separate available capacity for each capacity category. If a capacity is allocated to several work centers, it is a pooled capacity. It must be maintained separately as a pooled capacity before it is allocated to a work center. To calculate capacity requirements, formulas must be allocated in the capacity overview. To simplify capacity maintenance, you can set up a default capacity in Customizing.

Figure 38: Planning Details at the Work Center/Capacity

For capacity planning, you can enter further planning details for each capacity category. Relevant for finite scheduling indicator: If this indicator is set, the system checks the current dispatched load when searching for remaining available capacity. The Can be used by several operations indicator allows multiple loading for the available remaining capacity at this point in time. With a non-distributable capacity, only one operation can be dispatched at any point in time. This means that the available capacity of another individual capacity is not taken into account for this capacity category.

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Maintaining Available Capacities

The overload factor increases the available capacity by this percentage on the tabular capacity planning table. The remaining capacity can therefore be increased by an overload factor (for example, if capacity overloads can be reduced by working during break times).

Figure 39: Available Capacity at the Work Center

The reference indicator is set in the work center for the available capacity of a pooled capacity and therefore cannot be changed. The available capacity of both an external capacity and a default capacity is copied to a capacity category at a work center and can be changed there. A reference indicator can also be set for an external capacity.

SCM360

Figure 40: From Working Time to Operating Time

The basic working time (work start until work finish) at a work center is reduced by break times and technical or organizational disruptions. The working time minus the break times is stored in the work center as the operating time per shift. Technical and organizational disruptions are reflected in the capacity utilization.

Figure 41: Using Key Shift Sequences to Maintain Available Capacity

Shift sequences and shift definitions can be used to maintain available capacity in detail for each capacity category, but only by using intervals of available capacity.

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Maintaining Available Capacities

Shift sequences and shift definitions can be created and selected for specific parts of Customizing using the Grouping key. In a shift sequence, you can define the work start, work finish, and break times for all work centers. In shift sequences, the specific sequence of shift definitions is maintained for all work centers. By changing the shift definition, you can automatically change available capacities that have shift definitions.

Figure 42: Available Capacity in the Work Center

An interval of available capacity has a temporal validity. By adding an interval for a particular period (date from/to), the standard available capacity for this period is overwritten by a second interval. If this second interval is then deleted, the interval that follows is brought forward to the date of the interval that has been deleted.

Unit 6: Available Capacity

SCM360

Figure 43: Available Capacity/Maintenance Variants

There are several different ways to maintain the available capacity. You can interrupt the validity of the available capacity (standard available capacity) by using an interval of available capacity with a limited validity period. You can use shift sequences to maintain intervals of available capacity.

SCM360

Lesson: Maintaining Available Capacities

To calculate the available capacity, a plant calendar must be maintained that clearly defines the workdays. Plant calendars are maintained in Customizing and one can be assigned to a plant or to any particular capacity if it is different from that of the plant.

Figure 45: Work Center Hierarchy

You can place work centers in work center hierarchies. You can have as many work center hierarchies as you wish. Work center hierarchies are used to cumulate available capacities and capacity requirements in capacity planning. A work center can be assigned to several hierarchies.

SCM360

Lesson: Maintaining Available Capacities

Available capacity can be cumulated for a specific capacity category for a specific period. It can be cumulated statically or dynamically over as many hierarchy levels as you like. The dynamic cumulation of available capacity takes place during capacity planning. You must carry out a static cumulation of available capacity when maintaining work centers or capacities. You can use a period pattern key to define time intervals for cumulating the available capacity on a superior work center. The period pattern key determines the degree of detail of the cumulation of available capacity and therefore capacity planning. The period pattern key is only used for static cumulation (that is, in the work center). The period pattern key is defined in Customizing under Work center → Capacity Planning → Available Capacity. The cumulation of capacity requirements and available capacity is only relevant for the display per period (capacity evaluation and the tabular capacity planning table).

Lesson: Overview of Scheduling Lesson Overview This lesson provides an overview of scheduling-related data and processes.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • •

Generate the capacity requirements for the various pegged requirements Describe the main elements of lead time along with the origin of the data

Business Example You want to generate capacity requirements for the various planning levels in your company (SOP, MRP, SFC, and so on). You want to calculate them using the various scheduling instruments and the appropriate formulas for the capacities affected. Due to the capacity overload, you need to reschedule orders in your company. You must therefore find out about the time elements in the order and the scheduling types.

Figure 48: Capacity Planning Environment (5)

The capacity requirement is the work required by the individual orders at a capacity at a specific point in time.

Lesson: Overview of Scheduling

Figure 49: Planning (Scheduling) Levels

Different planning levels are available for the individual application areas. For example, you can plan MRP requirements in the following three ways, depending on how specific you want your planning to be: • • •

Rough-cut planning with a rough-cut planning profile Rate-based planning with a rate routing or a routing Detailed planning with a routing. There are three different planning levels in capacity planning.

The capacity requirements at the planning levels each have their own capacity requirements ID. In the individual capacity planning applications (PP-SOP, master production scheduling, repetitive manufacturing, and shop floor control), the capacity evaluations are predefined for a specific level. Detailed scheduling is generally carried out for production orders.

Unit 7: Scheduling and Capacity Requirements

SCM360

Figure 50: The Work Center and Its Dependencies

The work center forms the basis for capacity requirement determination and scheduling. Lead time scheduling is carried out for various order types (planned orders, production orders, inspection plans, and maintenance orders). Lead time scheduling for planned orders and production orders is always carried out using a routing. The order dates can then be determined and the capacity requirements calculated. The basic dates, and not the dates of the operations, are transferred from the planned order to the production order. The capacity requirements calculated in lead time scheduling, along with the available capacity in the work center, serve as a basis for capacity planning.

Lesson: Overview of Scheduling

Figure 51: Scheduling Types

The scheduling types (forward, backward) are to be assigned to the appropriate order types as default values. The special types are, excluding current date scheduling, planning functions of capacity planning. Current date scheduling is automatically triggered for orders with a start date in the past. When dispatching the operations of orders, midpoint scheduling is automatically executed for the non-dispatched operations of this order. Finite scheduling takes into account the available capacity at the individual work centers.

Unit 7: Scheduling and Capacity Requirements

SCM360

Figure 52: Lead Time Scheduling - Finite Scheduling

Lead time scheduling uses an unlimited available capacity to determine the dates for the capacity requirements. In contrast to lead time scheduling, where the system does not take into account the load situation of the relevant work centers, finite scheduling schedules the operations while taking into account the current load situation generated by operations dispatched to work centers. The capacity availability check in the production order creates a basic load. To benefit fully from the availability check, the capacities of all orders must be checked. You can also use the RCCYLOAD report to create the basic load. The operations are not dispatched, so the capacity requirements in the capacity planning functions are therefore not taken into account. The basic loads of the orders checked for capacity can be evaluated with the overall profile SAPSFCG010.

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Overview of Scheduling

Figure 53: Finite Scheduling

When using finite scheduling to dispatch operations, the system takes into account the current capacity loads of the capacities. In finite scheduling, only those capacities for which the Relevant for finite scheduling indicator has been set are taken into account. By not setting this indicator, you can exclude a capacity with sufficient available capacity from finite scheduling. Conflicts that arise between the operation dispatched and other operations in the order that have been dispatched and/or with the order itself do not lead to an automatic dispatching correction. For each operation to be dispatched, the system checks whether remaining capacity is available for the operation at the date determined. If the operation has suboperations relevant to scheduling, the system also looks for available capacity for these suboperations. If there is sufficient available capacity, the system dispatches the operation. If there is insufficient capacity, the system moves the operation to a date when it can be processed without any capacity problems. You can specify the search direction in the strategy profile using the Planning direction forwards indicator. The period for the search for remaining available capacity is specified in the time profile in the Planning period section.

Figure 54: Midpoint Scheduling I

The above example shows the process of dispatching an operation. Midpoint scheduling is always executed when at least one operation is dispatched. With midpoint scheduling, the order is not scheduled starting from the order start or order finish date. Instead, it is scheduled starting from the dispatched operation.

Lesson: Overview of Scheduling

The example shows the process of dispatching a second operation in an order. If only one operation is dispatched, all the operations that precede it are scheduled backwards and all the operations that follow it are scheduled forwards. If more than one operation was dispatched, then the scheduling direction between the two dispatched operations depends on the scheduling direction that was selected during lead time scheduling.

Figure 56: Scheduling/Time Elements in an Order

The two order floats have different purposes: • •

Float before production - date shift, capacity planning Float after production - allow for disruptions, capacity planning

The order floats can be predefined in Customizing and in the material master (using the scheduling margin key). The duration of an operation comprises a maximum of five time elements: • • •

Queue time: can also be used in capacity planning Setup time, processing time, teardown time Process-specific wait time

The duration of the move time lies between two operations, but it is assigned to the preceding operation. The material requirements are scheduled to the earliest start date (this can be changed in Customizing).

The capacity requirements can be displayed at the earliest or at the latest dates.

Figure 57: Correction of Execution Time

The ideal execution time cannot generally be achieved in business practice since breaks and disruptions interrupt work. With lead time scheduling, the execution time is adjusted to take account of these facts: • • •

120

The standard values are first converted to the “seconds” unit of time and adjusted using the performance efficiency rate per activity type. The ideal execution time is calculated using a formula key from the work center. The ideal execution time is adjusted using the internally calculated time factor (working time/productive operating time). The productive operating time is determined from the working time, also taking into account the capacity utilization and the break times.

Every capacity at the work center can be assigned formulas for calculating the capacity requirements. The formulas can be used for various functions (capacity requirements, scheduling, costing, and production resources/tools). "Generate" controls the immediate code generation for the formula. If no generation takes place in formula maintenance then it is generated at the time of execution, which can be a drain on system performance. A formula can consist of a maximum of 3 lines with the following operation: +, -, *, /, SIN, COS, DIV, MOD, SQRT, EXP, LOG.

Figure 60: Link Between Formulas and Standard Values

The formula definitions for calculating the execution time and the capacity requirements are stored in the work center. The formulas themselves are stored in Customizing as formula definitions. The parameters used in the formula definitions must first be maintained in Customizing as formula parameters. The standard value key defines the entry fields for the standard values in the operation. The standard values entered in these fields are used to calculate the execution time and the capacity requirements.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Reduce capacity and know how to determine the remaining capacity requirement.

Business Example Once the operation has been processed, to reduce the capacity requirements you want to confirm the work that has been finished. For orders that do not have to be executed, the capacity requirements are automatically deleted by canceling the order.

Figure 62: Capacity Reduction

Capacity requirements are reduced or deleted by order confirmations, setting orders to one of the "Lock" or "Technical completion" statuses, or by setting the deletion indicator.

Lesson: Capacity Reduction

The following confirmations result in a change to the capacity requirements: • • •

Confirming quantities Confirming forecast standard values Confirmation on another work center

Figure 63: Determining Remaining Capacity Requirements

Up to Release 4.6C, there was only one way to perform capacity reduction, namely, quantity-based reduction. With Release ERP, the four methods mentioned above are also available. To control this, there is a new “Control Capacity Reduction” indicator in the work center (on the Capacities tab page) for each of the three fixed capacity segments (setup, processing, and teardown).

133

Unit 7: Scheduling and Capacity Requirements

SCM360

The following variants can be implemented: •

Proportional to confirmed quantities: Remaining capacities are calculated on the basis of the remaining quantity using either the standard values for each activity type or a forecast standard value based on the confirmed values (prognosis). To do this, the formulas for the work center are used. The standard value for setup is set to zero with the first partial confirmation. All other remaining capacities can only be deleted by setting the remaining quantity to zero or the forecast quantity to zero.



Proportional to confirmed work: In this type of requirement reduction, it is not the confirmed quantity but the reported work that determines the remaining requirements. To do this, the system first determines the record type group (capacity segment) which in the work center is assigned to the activity type (on the Calculation tab page), and it then determines the remaining capacity requirement from the proportion of the actual work and planned work and assigns this to the capacity segment.



Complete on partial or final confirmation:The status of the confirmation is evaluated and the complete, still open capacity requirement is completely reduced.

For orders that are planned in SAP APO, the indicator does not affect the capacity reduction in SAP APO in any way.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Use the detailed scheduling planning board

Business Example The capacity planners responsible for machine loading are obliged to process the scheduled capacity requirements in production on time. It is therefore necessary that you familiarize yourself with the corresponding tools in the SAP System.

Figure 64: Capacity Planning Environment (6)

The main function of capacity leveling is to dispatch operations. Operations are dispatched in order to fix them at a point in time when there is sufficient capacity for them to be carried out. If necessary, you can specify a different work center during dispatching. These work centers must have been selected when you called the planning table.

Lesson: Introduction to the Capacity Planning Table

Figure 65: Capacity Planning Table

The capacity planning table enables you to carry out detailed planning of capacity requirements continuously over time. The capacity planning table consists of several charts arranged horizontally in which the available capacity (operating time) and the capacity requirements (operation duration) are grouped according to various criteria and can be displayed on the same axis. For example, all the capacity requirements for one order, or all the capacity requirements that have been scheduled on one capacity, can be grouped together. Each chart can have its own title bar and it comprises a table section and a diagram section: • •

2006/Q2

The table section contains information for identifying and describing the objects displayed in the diagram section. The diagram section has a window on the virtual time axis in which the available capacity and the capacity requirements are displayed in graphical form with the start and finish date. This window displays the same section for all the charts. You can change this section as much as you like by altering the scale.

Figure 66: Capacity Leveling - Overall Profile

When you call up capacity leveling and capacity evaluations, all the necessary settings are taken from an overall profile. This overall profile can be a profile provided by SAP or a user-specific profile. For capacity leveling, the relevant overall profiles are tied to a menu option but you can access them using the appropriate USER parameters. If an overall profile is called up for a capacity planning table, the profile for the tabular capacity planning table and the period profile is not required. If an overall profile is called up for a tabular capacity planning table, the profile for the capacity planning table is not required.

The scheduling dates are the start dates for the search for remaining available capacities in finite scheduling. You can specify them in several ways: • • •

Manual entry Using the scheduled operation dates (lead time scheduling of the planned order or production order) Drag and drop using the mouse

Finite scheduling is a special type of lead time scheduling with a capacity availability check. Finite scheduling is only carried out for operations whose work centers have the Relevant for finite scheduling indicator. Midpoint scheduling is always executed, either during simulation or when data is saved.

Figure 68: Rescheduling/Deallocating

You can reschedule operations that have already been dispatched by specifying a different date and/or a different work center. If you specify another work center, you must have selected this work center when you called up the planning table. When you deallocate operations, the current dispatching date and the Dispatched status are cancelled. The order is rescheduled. The system can close gaps that arise when operations are rescheduled or deallocated. It does this by moving operations according to the Close gaps key in the strategy profile. Changing the order quantity automatically results in deallocation of the operation. On the capacity planning table, the ATP logic can be used to carry out material availability checks for production orders. The system checks the availability of components at order level, that is, for all operations in the production order for the requirements dates. The result of the availability check can be analyzed in the planning log.

To change the time periods on the initial screen, click Time Profile. You can display the shift calendar for a capacity on the capacity planning table. The features of the shift period split and the relevant time fence are determined in the time axis profile. You can specify that the system is to hide non-work periods that are common to all capacities on the capacity planning table. To aid orientation, you can insert date markers in the diagram section of the capacity planning table. In Customizing for capacity leveling (under Define Chart Sequence), you can specify that multiple loading be displayed automatically in the capacity planning table. On the planning tables, you can copy data from other structures to production orders and maintenance orders. For example, you can copy material data from the MARA structure in the tabular capacity planning table (text lines) and in the capacity planning table (table section) using the sort layout key. If a work center is being maintained, the capacity at the work center carrying out the maintenance is not available at this time. This capacity is assigned an unchangeable load. To do this, you must make the appropriate entry for the system condition in the maintenance order. To call up a dialog box displaying data on the work center, choose Extras Planning Info System.

Lesson: Scheduling Strategies Lesson Overview This lesson discusses the different dispatching strategies.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Define important settings for the planning strategy when mass dispatching

Business Example In your production process, you want to level the capacity loads on the resources. You need to carry out capacity leveling with the capacity planning table using various planning strategies.

Figure 70: Strategy Profile

The strategy profile is part of the overall profile for capacity planning and is used to define the parameters for an individual planning strategy. Different strategy profiles reflect different planning goals. You can switch the profile interactively during planning. If the Cancel dispatching due to error indicator is set, dispatching is cancelled if errors are detected when the system checks the operation dates and order dates. The system always writes a log.

Lesson: Scheduling Strategies

Figure 71: Planning Direction

The planning direction determines the search direction for remaining available capacities if the original operation dates are not available. With automatic scheduling, the system searches in the future for a possible dispatching date within the planning period. When the Change planning direction indicator is set, the system changes the planning direction when searching for remaining available capacity if it does not find any in the planning period in the planning direction. If this indicator is not set, dispatching occurs in the past. When the system dispatches operations at the earliest point in time, it does not take into account the dispatched dates of the operation. With this planning strategy, you can achieve a capacity commitment without any gaps by using the Plan. direction forwards setting.

Figure 72: Insert Operation/Close Gaps

On the capacity planning table, operations can be inserted into a capacity commitment that already exists. The operations that have already been dispatched are moved according to the planning direction without changing the sequence. The capacity must not allow multiple loading. The Close gaps function is used when a dispatched operation is deallocated or rescheduled. Depending on the planning direction indicator in the strategy profile, the operations that follow or precede the rescheduled or deallocated operation are rescheduled (moved) to close the gap that has arisen. You can define the direction and period concerned in the strategy profile. Therefore, this rescheduling either finishes at the next gap or at the end of the planning period. You can achieve a schedule without gaps by using the Dispatch at earliest point in time function.

Figure 75: Dispatching in Freely-Definable Period Split

If the start times of operations must always be at the start of a shift, or if operations must only be dispatched to a shift if they can be completed during the shift, you should use a period pattern to carry out dispatching. If you want to use this function, select a period pattern in the strategy profile (for example, a shift period split) and specify the conditions for dispatching using the following indicators: •





2006/Q2

Start search in planning direction - If this indicator is set, the search starts at the first point in the split in the planning direction and the search is performed in the planning direction. Always adhere to period pattern - This indicator specifies that either the start dates or the finish dates of operations should always be on points in the period pattern. Operation completely in period pattern - This indicator specifies that the start time and finish time of an operation must lie within a split interval.

Figure 76: Planning in Non-Work Periods/Fixing

The Planning in non-work periods indicator determines that the system ignores the calendar, operating times, and available capacities during dispatching. A full 24 hours are then available for the available capacity. You can fix planning intervals on the capacity planning table. You can no longer change planning in these time intervals. You cannot deallocate or reschedule operations in these periods and new operations cannot be dispatched.

Lesson: Sequencing Lesson Overview This lesson discusses the formation of sequences for optimal dispatching, using setup group categories and setup group keys as an example.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Define the main settings for dispatching using predetermined sequences.

Business Example In your production process, there are work centers that are overloaded with capacity requirements. You therefore try to ensure that the delivery dates are observed by forming an optimal scheduling sequence of the requirements.

Figure 77: Sequencing 1

You define the dispatching sequence for the selected operations using the sequencing key in the Dispatching sequence field. The operations must have the same start dates. Once sequencing and dispatching have taken place, the setup standard values are only reduced if the relevant strategy is set in the strategy profile. You can also use other sort criteria by assigning sequence numbers in the order header (planned order and production order).

Lesson: Sequencing

Figure 78: Sequencing 2

In this example, the dispatching sequence is determined by the setup optimization function instead of the sequencing key. During setup time optimization, the standard value for the setup is changed. As a result, the values for the duration and capacity requirements are recalculated using the formulas. The setup group key and setup group category are a prerequisite both for setup time optimization and for the sort sequence. An Initial setup state field has been integrated into the strategy profile. This field allows you to maintain a predecessor operation for the first operation to be dispatched so that a setup time adjustment can be executed. Operations are also deemed predecessor operations if they lie outside of the planning period but within the evaluation period.

SCM360

Figure 79: Sequencing 3

With sequencing, the setup time of an operation that is to be processed at a work center can depend on the operation previously processed at the work center. The setup time therefore depends on the setup status of the work center. The following planning functions that automatically take into account the setup status of the work center are available on the capacity planning table: • • •

Adjusting the setup times of dispatched operations Dispatching operations at the best time for the setup (see this slide for an example) Demonstration: Dispatching Operations in a Sequence with Minimum Setup Time

To calculate the setup time of an operation, these planning functions do not use the setup standard value from the operation, but instead use an appropriate setup standard value from the setup matrix. The setup matrix shows how the setup standard value depends on the setup status of the work center. The setup status of a work center is defined in the setup matrix by the setup group category and the setup group key stored in the operation. The transition between two setup statuses is defined in terms of the setup group categories and the setup group keys of two operations that are processed at the work center, one after the other. The setup standard value saved for a transition is assigned to the following operation.

Figure 80: User Exits

The user exit is an interface predefined by SAP. You can use the user exit to make customer enhancements without making changes to original SAP objects. The enhancement concept is dealt with in course BC425. You can only access one user exit to sort capacity requirements (CYPP0001) using the interface defined in the program. If a user exit has been activated for the sort sequence, the sequence key is ignored. You can automatically lock time periods for scheduling on the capacity planning table using the enhancement (CY040001). In the table sections of the planning tables, you can use the enhancement (CYPP0002) to fill the text fields with any user-specific data. You use the “Functions - User” menu options to access the user exit for changing operation data (CY190001) from the planning table.

Exercise 12: Sequencing Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: • Execute dispatching with an optimal sequence and an automatic setup time optimization.

Business Example To make optimal use of your resources, you want to reduce the setup times with corresponding dispatching sequences. You therefore create a setup matrix and form setup group categories and setup group keys to optimize dispatching using planning strategies.

Task 1: Perform sequencing for the work center R-L##. 1.

Call up the capacity planning table with overall profile SAPSFCG014 for work center R-L## and capacity category 002. Create a production order for product R-F1##. Use order type PP01, a finish date in two weeks' time, and a quantity of 20 pieces. Look at the setup group category and setup group key for operation 30. Capacity Planning → Leveling → Variable → Online Goto → Order → Create Hint: Different products are usually produced at one work center. This would mean that different setup group keys are automatically displayed on this planning table. As we are only planning with one product in this course, you must change the setup group key in some operations.

2.

In the planning table, change the setup group key in the operations of the first production order in the pool, from 30 to 40, and of the fourth production order from 30 to 10. In the production order that was also created, enter the setup group key 20. To save the changes, choose Save when exiting the planning table. Click Change Operation

Lesson: Special Functions and Mass Processing Lesson Overview This lesson discusses advanced dispatching functions.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • • •

Execute capacity planning with alternative production versions. Use the planning table with the temporary storage function. Execute mass processing as dispatching or deallocation.

Business Example In your production process, there are work centers that are overloaded with capacity requirements. You therefore try to keep to your delivery dates by using mass scheduling and using production versions to process requirements at alternative work centers.

Figure 81: Capacity Planning with Production Versions

If you have to process an operation at another work center because of insufficient capacity in a planning period, you usually require a different work process. Both the work center and the data concerning times change. If the operations to be dispatched involve planned orders, you can read the routing again and reschedule it.

176

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Special Functions and Mass Processing

Production versions with alternative routings and production lines must be maintained in the material master. These production lines must also be used in the routing. In Customizing, the Rescheduling with production versions indicator must be set. With manual rescheduling to a bottleneck work center, the new version is read, scheduled, and dispatched. With the Change production version on error dispatching function, the next production version is copied to the planned order during automatic scheduling and manual scheduling. The planned order is rescheduled but not dispatched. With the Terminate when rescheduling with production version strategy indicator, the system ensures that an operation that is meant for a bottleneck work center can only be dispatched manually to a bottleneck work center of another version. Hint: When the planning table is called up using the work center view, only the work centers previously selected are displayed. If the operations that were rescheduled using the planned order are to be displayed on the planning table, these work centers should be selected when you call up the planning table.

Figure 82: Temporary Storage of Planning Results

You can temporarily save planning results without automatically leaving the planning table by calling up the capacity planning table with the SAPSFCG016 overall profile. You can view the result in a backup log.

Conditions: • •

In the control profile, the Plan. on indicator and the GUI status (change status SAPPLT05) must be set for the pull-down menu. Midpoint scheduling should be activated to update the planning table. Otherwise, an inconsistency will arise when planning results are temporarily stored, because the orders will have been rescheduled.

Figure 83: Mass Processing

Mass processing in production planning and control can be used anywhere where large amounts of data are being processed. It is mainly used in the automatic dispatching and deallocation of operations for predefined work centers in the background. For example, you can specify that, for specific work centers, the pool of orders is automatically dispatched at the start of each week. Mass processing is only possible with the capacity planning table. The following profiles may affect mass dispatching when you call the overall profile: • • •

Selection Profile Strategy Profile Time Profile

The requirements grouping and planning do not influence the individual capacities. Note the material availability after mass dispatching or mass rescheduling. This can be determined using a collective availability check.

Business Example Due to continually growing competition and the market's increased demands regarding quality, it may be necessary to carry out planning in more detail. This requires persons and individual capacities to be assigned to the capacities.

Figure 84: Application Criteria for Splits

A split is a partial capacity requirement that must be assigned to an individual capacity. In Customizing, the capacity category determines the creation of individual capacities. Splitting involves the splitting of quantities or standard values.

Lesson: Assigning Individual Capacities

Figure 85: Capacity Assignments

These four elements can be assigned to the capacity. The possible assignments depend on the capacity category. You can only maintain links to persons, qualifications, and positions if the SAP Human Resources (HR) module has been implemented. These links can also be assigned to the work center header. Assigning individual capacities to a capacity allows you to carry out more detailed planning within capacity planning. This link allows you to divide up the capacities, for example, into individual machines for which available capacities can also be maintained. Linking persons with the capacity allows you to specify individual employees who are selected to work at this capacity. The assigned (linked) persons must already exist in the personnel system. Linking a qualification to a capacity ensures that only employees with appropriate qualifications will be selected to work at this capacity. You specify which qualifications are required for someone to work at the capacity. If the capacity is linked to a requirements profile, the qualification is determined by the requirements profile.

Figure 86: Qualifications - Objectives

In addition to the purely manual assignment of individual capacities, you can also select employees with the right qualifications on the basis of qualification specifications resulting from data entered in the: • • •

work center, work center capacity, and operation.

You can maintain these qualifications or requirements profiles in the personnel system. You can also save positions in the operation (the former serve as the bearers of qualifications). All the data is linked when selecting a suitable person.

Lesson: Assigning Individual Capacities

Figure 87: Qualifications - Skills Required

In the routing and in the order, you can attach requirements profiles, a job, and a position to an operation. You can assign requirements profiles and qualifications (with characteristics) to work centers and capacities. You define a requirements profile in the HR system. To work with the profile, it must be linked to one or more qualifications. You can assign a characteristic to each qualification. A HR work center must be created if requirements profiles are to be assigned in the work center maintenance. This is not necessary in the case of an assignment to a capacity with the category labor. You can use requirements profiles with operations, work centers, and capacities. The user must decide whether he/she wants to assign qualifications only, requirements profiles only, or both. People can also be assigned to positions.

Figure 88: Ranking List

The ranking list is the result of comparing the qualifications in the operation, work center, and capacity with the abilities of the individual employees. The system compares the required qualifications of the operation, the work center, and capacity with the abilities of the employees. The result is a ranking list. From this list, you can select an employee and assign the capacity requirements to this person.

Lesson: Dispatching to Individual Capacities

Lesson: Dispatching to Individual Capacities Lesson Overview This lesson discusses the assignment of capacity requirements to persons and individual capacities.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • •

Describe the types of capacity splits and selections using ranking lists Describe how splits are confirmed

Business Example Due to continually growing competition and the market's increased demands regarding quality, it may be necessary to carry out planning in more detail. After persons and individual capacities have been assigned to the capacities, capacity requirements can be assigned in detail.

Figure 89: Split Types

Several types of split are available. The data used to define splits depends on the type of operation (operations with work elements or internally processed operations).

2006/Q2

197

Unit 9: Resource Planning

SCM360

In the case of operations with work elements (SFC), you can split either the quantity or the standard values of the capacity requirements. In the case of internally processed operations (PS, PM, PP-PI), you can split the work or the duration. Splitting the quantity corresponds to splitting the duration, and splitting the standard values corresponds to splitting the work. It makes sense to split the quantity if parts of the task are to be carried out either by two or more individual capacities at the same time or by one or more individual capacities at different times and there are gaps between them. If an operation can be split into two or more partial tasks that can be executed by different individual capacities at the same time and for the whole quantity, it makes sense to use the standard value split. In very specific cases, it can be useful to split both the quantity and the standard values.

Figure 90: Confirmation of Splits

A summary confirmation can only be carried out for splits that have not been partially or finally confirmed. The capacity requirements for the splits that were not partially or finally confirmed are reduced when the operation is finally confirmed. For example, this is possible in the case of splits with very small requirements where a confirmation would mean too much work. If the requirements for the operation are only partly distributed over splits, the split requirements are reduced when the split is confirmed. The remaining requirements that were not distributed to splits are only reduced when the operation is confirmed. Example: An operation has capacity requirements of 10 hours. 2 operations are assigned capacity requirements of 4 hours each. The capacity requirements that were not allocated (2 hours) are reduced when the operation is confirmed. The capacity requirements for the individual capacities (two lots of 4 hours) are reduced when the individual capacities are confirmed.

Lesson: Creating an Overall Profile (Capacity Evaluation) Lesson Overview This lesson show you how to create an overall profile for evaluating capacity.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Create an overall profile for capacity evaluation using a modified selection profile and list profile

Business Example The initial screen of the overall profile has too few input fields for selecting work centers. You therefore create a new overall profile.

Figure 92: Overall Profile

The overall profile includes four subprofiles with the following meanings: The selection profile determines which sets are accessed to generate the various selection screens, and for which period the capacity requirements are read from the database. The order set, the capacity category set, and the work center set are used for additional selection criteria.

214

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Creating an Overall Profile (Capacity Evaluation)

The list profile specifies the layout of the detailed capacity list and the variable overview, and determines which list is automatically displayed. The graphics profile contains settings for the layout of the various graphics: • • •

Determining the earliest/latest dates of operations Sort sequence such as date, material number, order number Displaying columns, bars, or lines

In the options profile, the default parameters are specified for the type of display, the display period, distribution and branching in display or change mode. An overall profile can be accessed with the user parameters CY1 - CY7 individually for every user.

Figure 93: Structure of a Set

It is important to distinguish between basic sets that always refer to one criterion and multidimension sets that group together any number of basic sets. For example, which selection criteria are displayed in a dialog box for selection depends on the basic sets the multidimension set consists of. Multidimension sets are always used in the selection profile, in the combinations, and in the column definitions in the variable overview.

2006/Q2

© 2006 SAP AG. All rights reserved.

215

Unit 10: Customizing Capacity Planning

SCM360

Whether and how you can specify values for a selection criterion is determined by the structure of the relevant basic set. You can use the basic set to specify: • •

whether an individual value or a value range can be specified whether the criterion is assigned a fixed value and thus no user specification is required

Sets are specified in Customizing for capacity planning and grouped together in a selection profile or in a combination. To make it possible to specify an individual value or a value range for a selection criterion, a variable must be defined for the individual value or for the upper and lower limit of the value range. You create variables in Customizing for capacity planning.

Figure 94: Selection Profile (Capacity Evaluations)

You use the selection profile, among other things, to specify which sets are used to define the layout of the various dialog boxes. You can also specify the database read period in the selection profile in the section Interval period. In the evaluation, only those capacity requirements are read from the database where at least one date (for example, the earliest start date) falls in the period defined. The display period (see settings) must also lie in the database read period. During the capacity evaluation, you can specify another selection profile via Planning → Profiles → Selection Profile.

Date for dispatching the backlog: If remaining requirements are displayed, then all the requirements whose finish dates lie before the date for dispatching the backlog are dispatched to the period that contains this date. Production order indicator: The indicator specifies whether you branch to production orders in display mode or in change mode. Planned order indicator: The indicator specifies whether you branch to planned orders in display mode or in change mode. Work center indicator: The indicator specifies whether you branch to work centers or capacities in display mode or in change mode.

You can sort all the lists in any way you like, even in groups.

Figure 98: Structure of a Profile (Extended Evaluation)

The overall profile for the extended evaluation contains six subprofiles whose settings are compatible with one another. You can maintain them in Customizing for Capacity leveling and Extended Evaluation. The selection profile specifies which sets are used to determine the layout of the various selection screens. In the list profile, you specify which list is displayed when you access the extended evaluation. You can branch from one list to another using Goto. In the time profile, you specify for what time period the capacity requirements are read from the database. The database read period, the evaluation period, the planning period, and the date for dispatching the backlog are specified in the time profile. All requirements lying wholly or partly in the database read period are accessed. The period profile specifies the periods in which the loads appear. For example, a period can represent a day, a week, several days, or several weeks. In the options profile, you can specify the work center hierarchy name for cumulating available capacity and capacity requirements, and you can specify the distribution key. In the control profile, you specify the type of presentation and the layout of the data (here: lists in period form).

You therefore create a new initial set and add this to a new overall profile. You also want to always call this overall profile automatically if you select Evaluation → Work Center View → Orders from the menu.

Task: Create an overall profile with the description Z360-GES## for a new initial screen. You want to see the following input fields when you call up this overall profile: Work center from: Work center to: Capacity category: Capacity planner group: Plant: You should always select work center R-V##. 1.

In the first step, create a new basic set Z360-BS## for the entry Work center from/to for the work center field name. As the descriptive text, choose ##-Work center from/to. For the entry fields, include two variables and set work center R-V## as the value.

2.

In the second step, create a new multidimension set Z360-MS## for the complete initial screen. Use the 5kstart1 set as the copy template. As the descriptive text, choose Work center, CapCat and CapPl. Change the multidimension set for the entry fields according to the defaults and the sequence under 1.

3.

Copy the SAPA010 selection profile as a separate profile with the name Z360-SP## and swap the initial set with the multidimension set created under 1-2. As the descriptive text, choose GR ## Selection Profile.

Figure 101: Work Center Field Selection

Fields of the work center are combined into screen groups. Modifiable fields are predefined by SAP for every screen group. Attributes (mandatory entries, displays, etc.) can be switched on or off per field. The settings for each field can also be controlled per work center category. This control is possible via a specific switch for influenceable fields. The work center category is provided as the only dependency. Settings for field selection are transportable and release-enabled. The sequence of screen groups can also be defined per work center category.

Figure 104: Formulas

Every capacity at the work center can be assigned formulas for calculating the capacity requirements. The formulas can be used for various functions (capacity requirements, scheduling, costing, and production resources/tools). "Generate" controls the immediate code generation for the formula. If no generation takes place in formula maintenance then it is generated at the time of execution, which can be a drain on system performance. A formula can consist of a maximum of 3 lines with the following operation: +, -, *, /, SIN, COS, DIV, MOD, SQRT, EXP, LOG.

The formula definitions for calculating the execution time and the capacity requirements are stored in the work center. The formulas themselves are stored in Customizing as formula definitions. The parameters used in the formula definitions must first be maintained in Customizing as formula parameters. The standard value key defines the entry fields for the standard values in the operation. The standard values entered in these fields are used to calculate the execution time and the capacity requirements.

General operation value: The parameter is assigned a field directly from the general operation data. The value of this field goes into the formula. Typical fields are lot size, base quantity, number of splits and the amount of capacity. Work center constant: The parameter is assigned a fixed value in the work center and this value goes into the formula. Standard value: A standard value is assigned to the parameter that goes into the formula. The assignment is by means of the standard value key. User field of operation: The parameter is assigned a user-specific data field for the operation. Value from PRT assignment: This may involve both the quantity and the usage value of the PRT. PRT constant: The parameter is assigned a fixed value in the master record of the production resource/tool. Can only be used for formulas within the PRT administration. General formula constant: This parameter can be assigned a value that is then copied to the application.

Lesson: Creating an Overall Profile (Capacity Leveling in Tabular Form) Lesson Overview This lesson discusses the system settings required for using the capacity planning table with work center hierarchies.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Create an overall profile for capacity leveling with the capacity planning table so that you can level bottleneck capacities

Business Example To level bottleneck capacities, you want to call up the capacity planning table with a hierarchy work center. You create a new overall profile for this.

Figure 108: Capacity Leveling - Overall Profile

When you call up capacity leveling and capacity evaluations, all the necessary settings are taken from an overall profile. This overall profile can be a profile provided by SAP or a user-specific profile. For capacity leveling, the relevant overall profiles are tied to a menu option but you can access them using the appropriate USER parameters.

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Creating an Overall Profile (Capacity Leveling in Tabular Form)

If an overall profile is called up for a capacity planning table, the profile for the tabular capacity planning table and the period profile is not required. If an overall profile is called up for a tabular capacity planning table, the profile for the capacity planning table is not required.

Figure 109: Structure of a Profile (Leveling)

The overall profile contains subprofiles with settings that fit together; there are seven profiles for the capacity planning table and eight profiles for the tabular capacity planning table. The control profile specifies the type of presentation and the layout of the data. There are also indicators for restricted planning, setup time optimization, and actions to start jobs. In the options profile, you can specify the work center hierarchy name for cumulating available capacity and capacity requirements and you can specify the distribution key. The strategy profile specifies the planning strategies for dispatching and rescheduling. The time profile specifies the period for which capacity requirements are read from the database. The list profile specifies the layout of the standard overview and the detailed capacity list. The selection profile specifies which sets are used to determine the layout of the various selection screens.

Unit 10: Customizing Capacity Planning

SCM360

When calling up the overall profile for leveling with the capacity planning table, the system also uses the profile for the capacity planning table. When calling up the overall profile for leveling with the tabular capacity planning table, the system also uses the profile for the tabular capacity planning table and the period profile. The period profile specifies the periods in which the loads appear. For example, a period can represent a day, a week, several days, or several weeks.

Figure 110: Control Profile

The control profile contains settings such as the type of presentation, whether the tabular or graphical version of the planning table is to be used or only lists. With the presentation you define the type of display for your data within capacity leveling. You can choose between the two types of planning table and the list display. You use the layout type to specify whether the capacity requirements or available capacity data is to be displayed per period or continuously through time. The display per period is used for data for example in the capacity planning table (tabular form) or in the planning tableau. The data is displayed continuously through time on the capacity planning table. If the indicator change mode is set, then capacity leveling is called up in change mode and you can make changes to objects. In this case, objects can be locked when they are read from the database by setting the Lock All indicator. If the indicator is not set, then capacity leveling is called up in change mode.

The Always Sort indicator specifies that the lines in the planning table are sorted after every change (for example, once a requirement has been deallocated). If the indicator is not set, new lines in the planning table are added to the end of existing ones.

The evaluation profile contains settings that are important for evaluating data.

251

Unit 10: Customizing Capacity Planning

SCM360

In the selection profile you make specifications for selecting, filtering, and grouping data relevant to capacity leveling. The object- and filter sets define the selection screens for accessing capacity leveling from the capacity planning menu. An object set contains criteria and default values such as fixed values according to which objects relevant to capacity leveling are selected. A filter set contains criteria and default values such as fixed values according to which the requirements belonging to the objects selected can be filtered. The requirements grouping specifies according to which point of view the requirements are to be grouped on the relevant planning table. They control the correct selection of capacity requirements for the charts in the planning table. The selection key allows you to choose objects for a multiple selection. In the selection profile, you can also specify which requirements for which scheduling level (detailed-, production rate- or rough-cut scheduling) and for which order category are to be read by the system. You can then process these capacity requirements. Hint: Sets in capacity planning must be imported from the delivery client into the work client using report SETIMP00.

Figure 113: Requirements Grouping

2006/Q2

SCM360

Lesson: Creating an Overall Profile (Capacity Leveling in Tabular Form)

The requirements grouping specifies which objects are to appear on the planning table. A requirements grouping generally consists of several groups that are maintained as a multidimension set. Every group contains a particular combination (production orders, planned orders) of capacity requirements as well as optional filter criteria. These groups are assigned to the individual charts in the planning table. Typical charts in the planning table include work centers, orders (pool), order (dispatched).

Figure 114: Strategy Profile

The strategy profile is part of the overall profile for capacity planning and is used to define the parameters for an individual planning strategy. Different strategy profiles reflect different planning goals. You can switch the profile interactively during planning. If the Cancel dispatching due to error indicator is set, dispatching is cancelled if errors are detected when the system checks the operation dates and order dates. The system always writes a log.

Figure 115: Time Profile

The time profile defines the following time periods: the database read period, the evaluation period, and the planning period. All the time periods are defined relative to the current planning date (positive / negative). Various types of date entry are possible. All requirements lying wholly or partly in the database read period are read. The evaluation period must be less than or equal to the database read period, and it reflects the range of capacity requirements records (KBED records) that have been read. The planning period represents the range of the KBED records to be dispatched and must be less than or equal to the evaluation period. The date for dispatching the backlog is a date on which all currently backlogged capacity requirements records are dispatched. This provides an overview of the operations that have been delayed. It is used for the tabular capacity planning table, that is for the display per period.

Figure 116: List Profile

The list profile defines the layout of the detailed capacity list. In the overall list profile, you can also specify subprofiles for defining the fields to be displayed on the detailed capacity list. These subprofiles also define the sequence in which the fields are to be displayed. The profile for the capacity requirements list defines how the fields in the list are displayed. You can specify a profile for the standard overview and for the detailed capacity list, and define one of these as the default option.

Figure 117: Check Report / Overall Profile

The overall profile can be a standard profile provided by SAP or a user-specific profile and consists of a series of individual profiles. Since Customizing for the overall profile for capacity leveling is very complex, errors frequently arise when changes are made or new profiles created. The check report is a simple tool that analyzes an overall profile for errors. The check report lists the profiles in the overall profile on the screen. The system highlights profiles with errors. When you double-click a selected profile, the profile hierarchy is exploded and possible errors displayed. The long text for the error message specifies how to remove the error and refers to the relevant transactions in Customizing. You can call up the check report with transaction CMCH or in the capacity planning table by selecting Settings → Display Profiles.

Figure 118: Period Profile

The period profile contains settings that are relevant to period-related displays. These settings include the period type and the period duration. You use these two entries to specify the period split for your evaluation period. You can also specify a planning calendar in the period profile. This allows you to define period lengths flexibly. The period profile is only necessary if you want to see the capacity planning table with a display per period. In this case, you must have defined a display per period in the control profile.

Figure 119: Profile for the Tabular Planning Table

The profile for the tabular capacity planning table specifies, for example, which requirements are displayed in which charts, as well as the type of requirements to be displayed. The layout of the planning table will be dealt with in the next unit. You specify what type of requirements you want to display using the “Reqmts to be displayed” key. You can choose between requirements generated by dispatched operations and those generated by operations not yet dispatched. You can use the Width indicator to control the width of the screen displayed on the tabular capacity planning table. You can use the Formula rem. av. cap. field to specify the formula used to calculate the remaining available capacity. You can use the Dispatch time indicator to specify the time at which the operation is dispatched when it is rescheduled on the capacity planning table. The system proposes this time when an operation is rescheduled.

Lesson: Creating an Overall Profile (Capacity Leveling in Graphic Form) Lesson Overview This lesson uses the check report for troubleshooting and for changing an overall profile.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Use the check report to change an overall profile for capacity leveling for the capacity planning table.

Business Example You want to be able to view additional information on the capacity planning table. You therefore add two columns to the table section.

Figure 120: Profile for the Capacity Planning Table

The profile for the capacity planning table contains settings that define the structure and layout of the capacity planning table. The capacity planning table should be used with the standard setting provided. Every chart is a horizontal window within the planning table. If some of the charts do not fit onto the screen, you can scroll along the chart sequence.

262

SCM360

Lesson: Creating an Overall Profile (Capacity Leveling in Graphic Form)

Every chart contains a table section and a diagram section. You can define the display for the material stock curve in the section entitled Histogram. For example, you can define the color and width of the line for the chart to be displayed.

Figure 121: Layout of the Planning Table

The correct requirements grouping must be maintained for every chart, otherwise the capacity requirements are not displayed in that chart. A sort-layout key must be defined for every order type, planned order, and production order. These sort-layout keys are grouped together as a sort key.

Exercise 21: Creating an Overall Profile (Capacity Leveling in Graphic Form) Exercise Objectives After completing this exercise, you will be able to: • Analyze and maintain the overall profile with the check report

Business Example To obtain more information on the capacity planning table for the requirements, expand the display in the table section using the check report.

Task 1: You called the capacity planning table with the ZPPSFCG011 overall profile for the R-M## work center and discovered that the headers are missing in the three charts. You also want to add additional information to the table section. 1.

Copy an overall profile with the name Z##SFCG011 using the check report and the ZPPSFCG011 overall profile.

2.

In your overall profile, use the check report to navigate to the sort layout key for your charts and define the sort layout key for the production orders as follows: Field contents

Column width

Material

8

Order

10

System status

5

Reduction ind.

3

Work center

6

Operation

4

Latest start date

10

Hint: A resource contains several sort layout keys. If, for example, you change a sort layout key for the production orders, you must also change the sort layout key for the planned orders. 3.

Maintain the headers for the sort layout keys.

Task 2: You have called the capacity planning table with the overall profile Z##SFCG011 and you want to deallocate a scheduled planned order again. The planning table responds with an error. Use the check report to analyze the error. 1.

Call up the planning table with the Z##SFCG011 overall profile for your R-P## work center and simulate scheduling of the planned order.

2.

Now deallocate the planned order and look at the deallocated capacity requirements. What has happened? Use the help for the status bar.

3.

Use the check report to analyze the errors and then correct the overall profile.

Task 3: On the capacity planning table, you want to prohibit scheduling using drag and drop. 1.

For the Z##SFCG011 overall profile, do not permit drag and drop from chart 3 to chart 1.

Task 4: In the diagram section of the planning table, you want to display the order number instead of the material description. 1.

Change capacity planning table profile Z##SFC011 accordingly. Hint: If you want to change the graphical object contents, change the SAP standard setting. The graphical object type SAP000 can therefore only be changed by the fastest person doing the exercises. However, navigate up to this point in Customizing and check the setting.

Figure 127: Material Stock Curves

For the materials to be produced, you can show and hide a chart with material stock curves on the capacity planning table. These curves are not automatically updated, but an update can be triggered if order data has been changed. The stock receipts are displayed in a daily period split for the material selected. The material is only displayed as a receipt once the last operation in the order has been processed. In Customizing, you can specify the type of stock curve to be displayed (available stock, safety stock, or days' supply). Overall profiles SAPSFCG001 and SAPSFCG004 have this function. Prerequisites in Customizing: • • • •
