Automatic dispatching in capacity levelling

HI All,
After MRP Run, I want to dispatch all orders in CM21 , Capacity levelling automatically with some predefined sequence.
Is it possible in std SAP ?
Amit

Hi
Yes, you can, the transaction CM40 can do that, please click the button 'Program documentation Shift+F1) to read the detail.
Please make sure that the field 'Dispatch' is ticked on in the section 'Action'.
Best Regards.

Capacity levelling -automatic- SAP- PS

Please tell us how system do the automatic levelling.
I have created 2 similar activities.1 is starting today and 2nd after 3days. Ist is having 4 hours spare time and second is overloaded by 4hours.
For this system should consider the spare time avilable in the workcenter for the particular day and should level it.
Pls revert to us.

N.Raju

Hi Raju,
Automatic capacity levelling is not possible in SAP PS.
There can be various reasons for this:
1. The system might not be able to decide what other work center u want to select if there is an overload.
2. The system might not be able to decide whether to change the dates in the activity or not.
By the way, you can do it through some ABAP program.

Capacity Leveling of Work Center

Hi all,
I have a problem with Capacity of Work center (WC).
I have a Internal Activity, and i assigned a WC for this Internal Activity. WC's capacity is 100H/day for 1 number of element.
Work of this WC is 250H, duration 5 days, number of element 1. Default capacity of this WC is distributed by Distribution Key define in Activity. . And they are divided equally between factory days in 5 day. That is capacity requirement is 50H/Day
So, i want to edit this WC's capacity following value:
Day 1: 100H/day
Day 2: 50H/day
day 3: 0H/day
day 4: 0H/day
day 5: 100H/day
How can i do it?? I try to use Dispatch Manually but i cant solve this problem.
Please help me for this case.
Thank all.

Dear
Capacity leveling depends on some of the basic set up of Capacity Requirement Planning .You need to have proper CRP set up frist .
Couple of check points : -
Did you work centre is relevent for finitie scheduling in CR02-Capacity Header and wht is the over laod percentage for work centre ?
Did you have Capacity Requirement Related Set up like Over all profile , time profile , Startegy Profile -OPD0?
Did your Capacity Check -OPJK -Order Control at order level are active for availibilty Check 1 and 2 and assinged Over all Profile ?
Set up :
1.Please assing a operation control key like PP01 where Details Capacity Check and scheduling is active .
2.In CR02-Work centre -Capacity Header -You should have Follow check box marked
1.Releven for Finitie Scheduleing
2.Can be used for multiple Operation
3.
3.OPU3/OPU5 -Define Scheduling paramter -Mark Scheduling and Capcity Check for planned order or production Order
4.In SPRO -Shop Floor Control-Define Production Scheduling Profile -You need to matian the relevent Parameters like
1.Schedueling Automatically 2.Scheduling Log 3.Adjust Scheduling -Basic date , Depedent Requirement date 4.Scheduling Type -Backward etc .
These are all basic level set up beside CRP overall profile and other profile like strategy /time etc which may in place as you are analysing in CM01.
Please find below some of the useful CRP details : Refer this threads which are self explaintory :

How to dispatch operation to do Capacity Leveling at Work Centre Level :
1.Frist Check the over load at work centre . Goto -CM07/CM05-give plant only -then hit the Stnadard view -You will find weekly or daily baiss load ( Requirement , Avaliable Capcity , Overlaod etc )
2.Check the week in which days you are tring to dipatch -if you selet the week check box and double clik it will show u all the dataiul load .Basde on the available capacity in other week-days u need to dipatch in CM22/CM31 or CM25/CM21
While dipatching in CM22/CM31-Select the Stragegy button on the top header -Mark Date entry when dispatching so that when you select the operation of any production order or planned order for certain work centre , it will pop with window having information of Date , Work Centre , Time .Onec you did this you will receive Scheduling log with certain information .
Hope this helps

Capacity leveling. Aim is to have oders scheduled within 1 day if possible

Hi All,
I have a list of 10 prod. orders with same basic/scheduled start/finished date= today
In capacity leveling, if i select a whole list of these orders and dispatch them, i get all orders with start day= today, finish date= today+ x days.
I would like to have orders scheduled with start/finish date within 1 day.
I have available capacity of 4 hours per day. Each order takes around 1,5 hours, thus i can have 2 orders scheduled for today, and so on. This is exactly what i need.
My kind question to you is how to setup SAP in a such way.
NB: If i do leveling for each order one by one, then i get what i want: e.g. order is scheduled within 1 day.
Best Regards,
Andrey

Dear Andrey
Your requirement is, Automatic capacity levelling based on the available capacity.
In SAP R/3 PP module, only manual capacity levelling is available. Automatic is possible in APO.
If the requirement dates are same for multiple orders, system will through all the orders in the same date and it will display overloaded. So manually we need to dispatch the overload to the required date.
Please check the below thread also.

Capacity Leveling Problem

If I have an order that requires 85 hours of production, and the work center responsible only has available capacity of 14 hours per day, how can I divide up the order in a Capacity Leveling Planning Table (CM22)? When I dispatch the order, it automatically overloads the work center instead of spreading itself out over several days. When I created the production order I gave it a start date 2 weeks away from the finish date. Yet in capacity leveling, when I dispatch the order, it only goes to one day and overloads the work center by several hundred percent?
Basically, how can I take this single order and divide it up over 7 days in Capacity Planning?

In both the "strategy" box of CM22 and the "capacity" tab of CR02, I have made sure that the relevant boxes for finite scheduling were checked. However, the system still overloads the work centers. This would mean that there is a 'finite' capacity in each work center and that each center cannot be overloaded, but my work centers still load themselves to nearly 1000% capacity! Why is this? How can I make sure that when a work center reaches capacity, it's quantities flow into the next available slot?
How can I spread the requirements over a period of several dates and not just one?

Capacity leveling, after Deallocate scheduling dates getting changed.

Dear Experts,
I have a issue in Capacity leveling using transaction CM25 - Online. I have created some production orders (using forwards/backwards scheduling) for overloading of WorkCentre's. When I dispatch orders it’s getting scheduled perfectly, but when I Deallocate same orders scheduled dates are getting changed.
Even after deallocation production orders schedule dates should be the same. Can you please help me in this regard?
Thanks in advance.
Prashanth

Hello Prashanth,
From SAP help Date Determination in Dispatching and Rescheduling - Capacity Leveling (PP-CRP-LVL) - SAP Library
The current dispatching data is cancelled. The status "dispatched" of the operation is reversed. The order is rescheduled.
If further operations exist for an order which has already been dispatched, the system automatically carries out midpoint scheduling. If no other dispatched operations exist, the system carries out lead time scheduling.
If order date is in past then it schedules to current date during de allocation if you do not have enter number of past days allowed to start date in scheduling parameters.

How to do capacity levelling

Dear Frndz,
Pls help me how to do capacity levelling.....
Scenario:
I have created two production orders for the same finish date as a result the work center is overloaded.Now I want to do capacity levelling.Tell me the step by step procedure to do capacity levelling, so that the capacity problem is solved.
Regards,
Srini.

HI,
Capacity leveling after order creation
This process covers capacity leveling of requirements from the production process, monitoring the capacity after different periods, and how the system determines the new values for the current order after changes are made to the quantities, times, and dates.
1) T Code CM21
2) Enter the field Plant & work Center
3) Choose Enter.
The current orders whose operations result in capacity loads at the selected work center are displayed. By scrolling through the different charts in the planning table, you can analyze the information provided.
4)For a better view, choose Settings ® Scale ® Monthly period split.
5) To automatically dispatch one or several operations of an order, click the red rectangle in the order's diagram section to select the order and choose .
The order disappears from the order pool and reserves a time segment in the work center section.
6) To manually dispatch one or more operations of an order, select the order in the diagram section, drag it to the work center section with the mouse, and place it in a time period that you select.
7) To deallocate an order, select it in the work center's diagram section and choose .
The order is again displayed in the order pool.
8) To analyze the changes made in scheduling, select an order in the order's diagram section and choose Order.
9) Choose Item and write down the start and finish dates of the operation you selected.
10) Choose Enter until the Planning Table: SAPSFCG001 Finite Scheduling Forw./All Functs.Active screen appears.
11) Drag the order to a valid section in the work center's diagram section. Make sure that you move the order to a valid and defined start and finish date.
13) Select the order in the work center's diagram section and choose Order.
14) Choose Item and compare the new start and finish date.
15) Choose Enter until the overview tree appears.

srivas

Sequential scheduling of orders in capacity leveling

Dear All Hi,
I working on capacity leveling where in the clients want the following requirements, please give your valuable inputs & your help will greatly appreciated & rewarded.
The following is the scenario:
If have 3 orders scheduled on 3 consecutive days (considering each order completes in a single day) then if drags the first order to forward date, then the system forward schedules only the selected order but the client wants order number 2 & 3 to move automatically. That is if I push the first order, then sequentially 2nd & 3rd order should move automatically & gets rescheduled sequentailly.
Similarly it should happen when I drag the 1st order to left then the proceeding orders should simultaneously move along left in leveling screen
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Mario,
Thanks for your reply.
All the 3 orders are independent & are of finished goods. All the orders are scheduled on the same work center. Due to machine break down during the processing of first order, there's a loss of time, so i will select the first order & dispatches to forward date & at the same time i want the 2nd & 3rd order to get resheduled correspondingly.
Suggest the solution for this, Thanks in advance.

Use of Planning Table (MF50) in Capacity Levelling with Production Order

Hello Experts
I wish to know that is it possible to perform Capacity Levelling in planning table (tcode MF50) with respect to a Production Order ? It is known that MF50 is used in Repetitive manufacuring to do the capacity levelling with respect to Planned orders. But in our discrete manufacturing scenario we want to use planning table to the capacity levelling with respect toa Production order.
Any clue or help pertaining to this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Jayanta

Dear ,
MF50 is does the cacapcity leveling based on mateail -run schedule order (planned order ) where as in discrete manufacturing , when you run the MRP , MRP system assume Infinite Capacity and schedule the order as per your selection in MD02(2,1,3,3,2) and then you convert those planned order to Production order .Here you checkied the Capacity in Production Order level .
In stanadrd SAP , it is not possible to use MF50 for discrete production order.
In discrete order or process order , do the caapcity leveling , there are seperate planning table available based on Over all Capacity Profile and Schedule type .This can be done in following way :
1.CM31-Production Order Wise -Tabular
2.CM23-PO wise -Graphical
3.MC88: Ruf Cut Planning
Work Centre Wise : CM21 -Graphical , CM22-Tabular Planning Table .
Make sure the below set up before you carry on the Capacity leveling :
.Define time profile in OPD2.
Define the strategy profile in OPDB
Define the Overall profiles in OPD0.
In OPJK maintained check capacity with SAPSFCG013 profile for your production order type
In OPU3 , scheduleing parametre s: Generate Capacity , Scheduling Type , Automatic Log ,Start date in Past as per your req.
In OPJU , chekc the contol tab of the scheduleing as per OPU3
In OPKP- Production scheduling paranmeters assing the overall capacity profile -SAPSFCG013 with finte scheduling tick.
Master Data :
1.Materials Master define the Production scheduler and production scheduling profile
2.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.
3.Routing - enter the values for the standard values. Use control key with scheduling.
Hope this will help you .

Routing update in capacity leveling CM21

Hi Collogues,
We have simple production type. Production order with production versions.
16 production lines (work centers) with different rates. 1 operation per routing.
I want to use in capacity leveling CM21 to dispatch planned/production orders on these 16 lines.
The problem is that when I dispatch a pln/prd order in CM21 on a work center nether routing nor production version gets updated.
Your suggestion are welcome.

Solution found.
Set for each production version "Production line".
Then go Mf50 switch to graphical planning table. It updates routing when I move planned order over work centers.

No Automatic Dispatching Of Planned Order to new Production Version

Dear Sir,
When rescheduling an operation from one line to another, the system
checks whether a production version exists for the material to be
produced that contains the new production line as the preferred work
center. If such a production version is found, this version is taken
over into the planned order. The planned order is scheduled again based
on the production version.
The second function allows you to automatically search for an
alternative work center in the case of a capacity overload of a work
center, and to dispatch the operations to it. The predefined
prioritization of the alternative work centers is considered in this
case.
The indicator Reschedule with production version must be set in the
strategy profile.
My issue is sytem does not making automatic Dispatch to the second
Production version for the material at the time of insufficient capacity
Best Regards
Rami Abd El Fattah Mohamed,PPQM Functional & Technical Application
Consultant

In the dispatching control u can remove operation date check indicator and regarding the termination indicator SAP help says"
"if you have not set this indicator then dispatching is not terminated but carried out without taking the production version into account. That means that the planned order is scheduled with the old standard values and the formulas from the new work center and dispatched to the new line."
Please check if it works now.
thanks

Capacity leveling problems

I have some troubles with implementing capacity leveling. I cannot level with planned orders (cable solution), so it is only possible to plan production orders.
The setup matrix is used (because setup times can be greatly reduced, depending on the succesor).
For some operations, simular machines can be used. CM21 (work center view) is used. Version: R/3 release 4.6C.
Now a couple of problems rise.
Problem 1:
Since there are simular machines, normally production versions are used for capacity leveling. However, we have to level with production orders, so production versions are not applicable.
Making one workcenter with different individual capacities is also no solution, since SAP messes up with setup times then (i.e. two operations of different production orders have to leveled onto the work center. Normally, the setup is 20h, but if it is a right succesor, it has to be 0h. This is mentionned in the setup matrix. If we dispatch now with a specific strategy for setup time optimization, only one operation will have setup time and the other operation will be schedule from the start on of the other operation's setup... In reality, two setups has to be done, since there are two machines!).
Alternative sequences is also no solution. While leveling, the alternative sequence will never be used by SAP, in my view.
Problem 2:
The strange logic of SAP: setup of the next work center can only be done if the production on the previous work center has finished. In reality, the setup of the next work center can overlap with the production of the previous workcenter.
Besides these two problems, there are some more troubles with capacity planning in SAP. SAP messes up sometimes by putting the setup time before the wrong operation (sometimes, the first operation has no setup time and the second does. However, this should be the other way around.).
If you plan an operation manually, SAP doesn't take into account the setup matrix.
Does anyone has a solution?

Hi Walravens,
What i have understood is, u have the avilability of multiple resouces to produce same material, if any capacity bottle neck, u level the different production order of same material from "one work center" to "another workcenter".
At cm21, select the mutiple workcenters (selection criteria) and dispatch the operation as need.
For setup time overlap, how to system know ur producing two operations (from two different orders) with same setup.
Even the operations from same production order, system consider the set up time of the second operations unless u define overlap function. . Am I understood your problem in correct way.
So remove the set up time for second operation and dispatch.

Issue with Capacity Levelling-CM25

Hi Everyone,
We use CM25 for capacity levelling.
Issue:
Total Capacity req. = 186.8 Hr
Available Capacity on 01.01.2012 on the resource = 380.2 Hr
Now when I try to dispatch the capacity req. for a planned order manually on 01.01.2012, system distributes the capacity-
Distributed   Period
        5.0    31.12.2011
      23.8    01.01.2012
      23.8    02.01.2012
      23.8    03.01.2012
      23.8    04.01.2012
      23.8    05.01.2012
      23.8    06.01.2012
      23.8    07.01.2012
      15.6    08.01.2012
    186.8
But we want to dispatch capacity say on one particular day or split it onto two different days i.e. 90 Hrs on 01.01.2012 & 90 Hrs on 02.01.2012. Is it possible? If yes, how?
Additional Information-
Capacity Defination in resource-
No. of indiv. cap.   16
Operating time       23.76
Capacity             380.16
Relevant to finite scheduling
Thanks,
Parashar.

Hi Amol,
Thanks for your input.
As I have said I already have Capacity more than what is required.
Capacity Available per day: 380.2 Hr
Total Capacity Requirement: 186.8 Hr
I am trying to know that whether what issue has been raised is possible to solve in Capacity Levelling & How.
We are not maintaining shifts in SAP at present.
Thanks,
Parashar.

Reg. Capacity levelling for the maintenance order

Hi all,
I am using SAP R3 ECC6.0.
I have created a maintenance order with order type PM01(Internal).In this order i have assigned Work Center 1 with the Work center category as Labour.And i have assigned 2 operations for this Work center in the maintenance order with the total hours of 60 HRS. and i saved this order & made the status to release.
Then i went to Tcode CM33 and there i inputed the Work center name and executed it.It opens a Graphical View.But in that view my order no is not displayed .Previous order no. which is there already for that Work center is shown there.
What could be the Reason.
As an alternate checking i went to T code CM31 order view.There i Inputed my order no. and executed it but it throws a message
"No Capacity requirements were found in the evaluation period"
"No work centers or orders were found"
What could be the reason.
Tell me how to overcome this issue.
More over i want to make dispatch in the capacity levelling.
Thanks in advance,
M.Badrinarain.

hi badri,
are you checking in the same period ? and next check ur overall profile and time profile assigned to ur overall profile .... u will find order no , operation no .... and once u dispatch operation status gets DSPT .
