Capacity Planning & capacity leveling

Dear All,
If we have two Sales Orders in the same date for two different materials which will use the same work center for processing, and if we run the MRP then two planned orders will be generated. Here according to the capacity planning the system will calculate the number of days required to process in the work center and the job will be assigned to the work center for planned order 1. Then when the system tries to allocate jobs from the planned order 2 to the same work order then the system will show the over load. Then we have to do capacity leveling to remove the over load.
But the clientu2019s requirement is that when the system calculates the available capacity of a work center in the planning horizon, the system should not consider the time for which the job is already assigned from the planned order 1. And the system should assign the job from the planned order 2 to the work centeru2019s available (capacity) time excluding the (capacity) time for which the job is already assigned from the planned order 1 in that planning horizon. If there is no Available capacity in that planning horizon then the system shall show the over load and then the client shall go for the capacity leveling.
How to go about Please help.

Hello Satish,
Let me understand you issue:
You would like system to give overload only when there is no capacity available in planning horizon.
Did you try using tabular planning board ? Tabular planning board uses bucket principle. It will give overload only when the whole bucket is full. It will not check the date and time of planned order # 1. While allocating capacity to plannined order # 2, the bucket's full capacity will be checked. In your case try allocation bucket size equal to your planning horizon period.

Capacity planning and levelling

Hi,
My client has around 8 different production areas and I have created 8 different order types,production schedulers,capacity planner groups and production scheduling profiles for the same. I have also created a list profile,selection profile, graphical profile, optional profile and an overall profile with my understanding.
1. I want to see for a given production area, In the morning, the user has to take the list of work centres pertaining to his area and fix priorities. In case he wants to move certain orders to next day and want to insert new orders in place of that, how to do this?
2. How can I utilise the feature of capacity planning, to evaluate my capacity requirements for new projects?
3. I want the step by step instructions for doing the capacity levelling both in graphical/tabular forms. Also please explain the purpose of different profiles used for capacity planning like selection,option,list etc.

Sridharan M

Dear
Capacity planning comprises the following partial components:
Capacity Evaluation
In the capacity evaluation, available capacity and capacity requirements are determined and compared with each other in lists or graphics.
You can use capacity evaluations to analyze capacity loads in your company.
Capacity leveling
The objectives of capacity leveling are:
1.     Optimal capacity commitment
2.     Selection of appropriate resources
3.     In most applications, you can use two types of planning table (graphical and tabular versions) to display the capacity situation and to carry out capacity leveling.
4.     In some applications such as Repetitive Manufacturing (PP-REM) or Sales and Operations Planning (PP-SOP), there are application-specific planning tables for capacity leveling.
The objectives of capacity leveling include:
u2022     Leveling overloads and under loads at work centers
u2022     Achieving optimum commitment of machines and production lines
u2022     Selection of appropriate resources
Dispatching Operations
Dispatching operations is the main function of capacity leveling. Operations are dispatched to the time when there is sufficient capacity for them to be executed. You can also dispatch sub-operations and work elements.

Capacity planning: capacity available at all workcenters

Dear all,
We have configured all the requirement for capacity availability check. the planned order is showing overload of capacity. but while doing conversion and checking in production order i am getting "capacity available at all work centers, which is actually overloaded.
Can anyone suggest how to resolve this?
Regards,
Sharmila

Sharmila,
I will assume this is a new implementation. Have you calculated the basic load yet?

Issue in Capacity Planning

Hi Experts,
I am using process orders in our project. When I use the capacity planning to level the capacity through transaction CM21, I can despatch the operation without any issue and the associated phase also is getting despatched.
But if I want to deallocate the despatched operation, Iam not able to do that. System says the message, phase can not be deallocated. But once I despatch I find only one line assigned and not two lines as before despatch.
How to select the operation after despatch and how to deallocate?
Please help

Capacity planning at Planned order level

Dear All,
                  In my current scenario i'm able to see load of process orders against the workcenter in CM01. My requirement is to do capacity levelling at the planned order level.
         I have created Production version also & attached to the planned order. Still in CM01 no load or planned order is shown on workcenter.
when i convert it into process order then it shows load / process order.
pl.let me know how i can do the capacity planning at planned order level.
Thanx & regards,
dev

Hi,
                   In MD12 when click on Go to > Capacity Levelling >
Error Message : No work centers with capacity requirements were found
I have given formula : SAP006 in capacity & Relevant to finite schedulling indicator is also active.
what may be the cause ?

Dear
I assume that you have Capacity Requirement Planning set up in place .
You can check the Work Centre capacity overload or capacity analsisy in CM05/CM01 day wise /week wise all those set up .
Please enter work centre , plant code -Hit standrad view -goto general option -setting -select periods Day .By default it will come as week .Or you can execute and then choose Profile -Option Profile -Select SAPB010 day wise .Like wise you can analise the caapctiy situation .
Capacity level in spossble throuh CM21-Work Centre wise Graphaical View -Select the operationj against planned order -Hit dispatch button at the top -if you have available capacity on the required date , time , then those operation will be dispatched and also you will recieve the Scehduling Log.
I think you should try this frist in sandbox to simulate the business requirement based on your CRP set up.
You can also use call function : CBP_EXC_WC_CAPACITY_REQUEST' for   available capacity of a work center and use CY01_DISPATCHING_OPR_DATES_CHK for dispatch
refer my earlier thread : Capacity Leveling of Work Center
Hope this helps

refer my earlier post rekated to this :

Capacity Planning vs. Capacity Leveling

My production facility is looking to divide up our shop floor by work centers. There are about 20 individual work centers that are composed of 10 people each. Each material we make is divided up into 3 operations which go through 3 separate work centers. Each operation has a corresponding work center that it goes through.
Right now we are unsure which program suits our needs better, Capacity Planning or Capacity Leveling.
Our goal is to measure each individual work center (not the workers that make up the work center). Each work center has a specific goal involving the number of materials they can produce, whether or not they reached that goal and by how many.
In a nutshell, we want to be able to measure how long it took each work center to reach their individual goals by the materials they produce.
This is all about measuring the individual work centers and how efficient they are. Our goal is to be able to utilize this data within SAP.
What is the difference between Capacity Planning and Capacity Leveling, and which would better suit our goals?
Our production facility is not very complicated and we're looking for something simple and basic within SAP to accomplish these goals.
All help is appreciated. What would be your recommendations for this type of situation?

Enterprise level capacity planning

I am trying to look at capacity planning at an enterprise level and wish to get summarized views of captured data across a number of hosts and instances. I would like to be able to see the tablespace stats for all of our instances in one graph or report, and not have to view each one separately. The OEM capacity planner does not seem to provide any such views and from what I have discovered in the repository it looks as though separate tables are created to hold captured data for each instance eg table space data for prod01 will be in table a, tablespace data for xcpt02 will be in table b.
Has anybody got any ideas on how to use the Capacity Planner for Enterprise Level Capacity Planning?

Hi,
About packaging : Always deploy your application in ear format using weblogic
(not a single war (WEB module) + single jar (EJB module)) Ref http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs61/programming/packaging.html#1051556
"WebLogic Server can bypass the intermediate RMI classes because the EJB client
and implementation are in the same JVM." If you have large data exchange between
EJB and WEB you're gonne save a lot process time (including garbage collect process
time to clean RMI object copies). For our application with save up to 7%just
using ear format for deployment.

Operations are not getting despatched in capacity planning table

Hi Experts,
I am using capacity planning table (Graphical) to level the capacities and sequence the process orders. The start date of my orders are very well in future and sufficient capacities also is available in resources. But when I go to CM25 and select one order and click on despatch, system is not despatching it. This is the case for almost all the overall profiles.
The surprising factor is, this function was working fine earlier without any issues. I havent done any changes in configs which will affect capacity planning.
What can be the reason for this? Any thoughts please?.
One more thing. Is there any option to avoid the capacity planning step if Iam using R/3 and manage it by some other way?
Appreciate your earlier reply
Thanks & Regards
Prathib

Most likely you didnt define the rowsource key properly. Please look under <install>/errors folder for any file there.
Also, please read the documentation. There is information there about how to troubleshoot a loading problem. Please always read the documentation and we would appreciate feedback on the documentation.

Machine capacity planning and efficency

Dear Guru,
I have number of machines and i want there individual capacity and efficency can we see that by any report or any tcode to see all capacity of machine.What is capacity leveling.
Is thee any configuration for capacity planning.
Thanks in advance

Hi, the following configuration steps involved in the capacity planning: SPRO --> IMG --> PRODUCTION --> CAPACITY REQUIREMENT PLANNING Capacity Requirements Planning: 1) Define time units 2) Define Capacity Category 3) Set up Capacity Planner. 4) Define parameters 5) Define Standard value key. 6) Define Move time matrix. 7) Define Setup matrix. 8) Define Control Key. 9) Define Shift Sequence. 10) Define Key for performance efficiency rate. 11) Define Formula parameters. 12) Specify Scheduling type. 13) Set up Production scheduler group 14) Select Automatically. 15) Define Scheduling parameters for Production orders 16) Define Scheduling parameters for networks. 17) Define Reduction Strategies planned/ production orders. 18) Define Reduction Strategies for network/process orders. 19) Define Control Profile. 20) Define Selection profile. 21) Define time profile. 22) Define Evaluation profile. 23) Define Strategy Profile. You can follow these above configuration steps in capacity planning Yes you need to active your all work center for the finite scheduling at the bottom of capacity view. Use all standard SAP configurations, Capacity Leveling Profile. Define time profile in OPD2. Define the strategy profile in OPDB Define the Overall profiles in OPD0. Then only you need to to active your all work center for the finite scheduling at the bottom of capacity view in work center.(CR02) Then run MRP with scheduling- 2 Lead time scheduling and capacity planning.(MD02) You will get your capacity requirement in CM01, or CM25/CM21. In rem you can use MF50. -

Setting needed for Capacity Planning.

Hi PP Gurus,
I want to know what setting we have to do for capacity planning.
what I know is:
1. W/C should be set for finite scheduling.
2. In scheduling parameters for process order tick "Generate capacity Requirement".
This both setting are made in my scenario, but it is'nt loading the work center fot that week.
Any other setting nedded?
Thanks, in advance.

Dear ,
You need to have following set up at basic level frist before you perfomr the capacity requirement planning :
1.In OPKP-Define Production Scheduling parameter -Availability check -Confirm Capacity and also Finite Scheduling chekc box ticked .
2.In OPU3/OPU5-Define Scheduling Parametesr -you should mark the following
1.Automatic Scheduling check box should be marked
2.Scheduling Log check box should be marked -generate in case there is a scheduling error due to capacity over load .
3.Scedulinga and Generate Capcity should be ticked .
3.In OPJK Imaintain check capacity with SAPSFCG013 overall profile and set indicator -1 -Release Order -by user decision if capacity is insufficient
4.Work Center - Define the capcity planner group,activate checkbox Relevant for Finite sceduling,on the capacity header define the shift timings,break timings and unit of measure,no of individual capaity, enter formula for scheduling in capacity view.
5.Routing - enter the values for the standard values. Use control key with scheduling and CRP activated .
6. OPD0 and have the following set up : Overall profile : SFAPSFC015 --Inside the over all profile I have the following set up
1.Selection Profile -SAPSFCS013 SFC: Order view, standard overview
2.Control Profile : SAP___C004 : Gen Capacity Availability Check for 1.5 months
3.Time Profile : SAP___Z006 : Gen Capacity Availability Check for 1.5 months
4.Evalution Profile : SAPSFCA013 : Gen Capacity Availability Chek =3.0D
5.Strategy Profile : SAPSFCVER1-Gen Capacity availability Check
6.Period Profile : SAP___P001 -Weekly period
7.List Profile : SAPSFCI001-Production Planing
Check all of them in place .Then you can go ahead with Capacity Req.Planning -Evalution and Leveling -CM21/CM22/CM05/CM07 etc.
Refere the below theread for farther reference :

Planned order splitting during capacity planning

Hello,
anybody plese help me during the capacity planning in T.code.CM31 i want to split a planned order and want to assign alternative sequence. how can i do this and the capacity should be reschedule automatically to my requirement date. i am using backward scheduling.
plese suggest immediately
Thanks and reagards
Bhakta

Dear Bhakta
MRP does not perfom any Capacity Requirement Planning .While you are executing MRP with Lead Time Scheduling , MRP proposes Planned Order Dates based on the Routing Operation Timing not based on the Work Centre available Capacity because in SAP Std R/3 we did not have scope to check the finite scheduling and capacity requirement chek .MRP assume that Work Centre has infinite available capacity .
In MRP run , it will give you Detail scheduling of the Operation in Planned Order -Detail Scheduling tab and copied the routing , BOM as master data .When you convert that Planned order to Production order , it will copy the Routing details based on the Order Type denpendt Parameters -OPL8-Routing -Alternative sequnce and Automatic selection -3 option
Thats why we have Capacity Requirement Planning for Detail Capcity check and production order scheduling .
Note : Earlier to my first reply , please note that you have option in CM21 enter sequence number at order level which may applicable to you .CM21-Work Centre -exectute -Select the Order from order pool -Goto Order -Sequence number maintainence
This number( sequence number operation /order ) that can be assigned to production orders or planned orders at the level of the task list header and is therefore valid for all the operations in an order.
Hope this is clear .Revert if you nees farther help

Any std report in Capacity Planning showing only dispatched orders/opns ?

Hi CRP gurus:
Does SAP has any standard report/transaction in Capacity Planning that shows (or has a selection for showing) only "dispatched" orders/opns ?
- Chetan

Chetan,
Use transaction COOIS. In this choose Operations, System status as DSPT at operation level, enter plant and execute. You will get only orders and the operations which are dispatched in this plant.
You can navigate to the capacity planning table from the selected records through order change.
Hope this is ok with you,...reward points..and close.

HR personnel availability as input to PM labor capacity planning

Good Day SAP Gurus!
I am looking at using HR's personnel availability as input to PM capacity planning.
I am planing to take this approach;
1.Reference HR in shift definition in IMG
2.Use the shift grouping in Work Ctr capacity header
3.Define Interval of Available Capacity using the shift defined
Appreciate your valuable inputs for the above steps to ensure it will work as well as the transactions/table to check personnel availability between HR and PM.
Also, I have read that I can use "Performing Work Center" in operations of capacity category "personnel" for the same purpose but I don't know how this works.
Anyone has better approach? Thanks a lot in advance!!

Hi
without knowing the answer:
i would first check the integration points of PErsonnel Time Management with other SAP Applications. As far as I remember is the "CATS" (Cross Application Time Services) function collecting data for cross company topics, like capacity leveling tasks.
