Automation of scheduling for performance-based planning

Colleagues,
I've got a question regarding automation option for skipping calls upon measurement document reading update.
So, scenario as follows
MP with strategy (activity) is scheduled with 1K, 5K, 10K hours with surpressing hierarchies 1,2,3 accordingly. Initial counter reading is 0, estimated ann perf- 20K. So, we schedule IP10 which gives us all scheduled-on-hold's for 365 days of scheduling period.
Once I enter 5600 reading measurement doc, the batch would generate four 1K calls and one 5K one..They want the system automatically skip those calls in background and get only one 5K order, avoiding redundant four 1K' ones..
I don't see much of room for maneuver for automatic scheduling in PM..
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
(that's me who initiated the thread-service marketplace was messing with my last name)
They've got elaborated on the scenario and aforementioned user exit perfectly serves the purpose of restarting cyclees with offset when late reading is entered, skipping the redundant calls.. However, in that particular scenario described below that wouldn't help..
so, the requirement is as follows:
1.minor/mayor PM every 750h and 1500h accordingly
2. three different overhauls (at 15000, 30000, 60000H accordingly)
3. 500h inspection after each overhaul
After 60500H the cycle should start all over
the sutuation is worsen by the fact that I should create 5 different plans, since every maintenance pack has different call horizons..
So, we have
1. plan #1 for 500H inspections with call horizon 100%, strategy offset '500'
2. single plan#2 for minor/mayor PM with call horizon 67%, strategy offset '1250' for minor PM and '2000' for major PM
3. plan#315K overhaul1 with call horizon 93%,
4. plan#4 30K overhaul1 with call horizon 90%
5. plan#5 60K overhaul1 with call horizon 95%
I have two strategies: one for inspections and minor/mayor PM, another-for overhauls, both strategies using supressing hierarchies..
I was using offset and 'restart' and 'start-in-cycle' those plans..
after first 15K overhaul package completed:
plans #1 and 2 are restarted with latest counter reading using function u2018Restartu2019;
Plans #3,4,5, are restarted with latest counter reading using function u2018Start in cycleu2019, selecting the relevant timeframe (i.e. offset shall be set before next due call on relevant cell in package sequence ruler)
Just wanted to double check with you whether you guys got any suggestions or recommendations..
Appreciate it!!

Doubt in Scheduling of performance based preventive maintenance

Dear Experts ,
This is with respect to scheduling of performance based preventive maintenance.
I will put my doubt in example so that it will be easy for you to understand.
I want to perform a preventive maintenance for every 100 litres of fuel consumption.
annual estimate is 7200 litres , that means 5 litres a day.
so as per plan , for every day 5 days , maintenance needs to be performed.
same will be appear after scheduling in ip10 also.
While updating in the measuring document , I know that , if 100 litres is updated before due date , then order will be generated in the current date itself.
I just want to know how system responds , if 100 litres consumption takes more than 5 days , will the system generates order as per schedule date or will it wait to complete for 100 litres consumption ??
Regards
Keerthan Kumar

Greetings Keerthan,
That depends on:
1) The frequency that you input Measurement Documents in
2) Your Call Horizon on the Maintenance Plans
3) Your Scheduling Period in your IP30 Deadline Monitoring variant
Generally, SAP will adjust the schedule based on the Measurement Documents entered for the counter (1) to account for readings (usage) which are higher or lower than estimated.However, it will NOT reschedule any Orders already called. So to make sure the dates are usually adjusted to your usage, you want frequently input MDs, a high Call Horizon and a short Scheduling Period.
SAP will determine a scheduled due date for the Order based on the Annual Estimate and the readings. So, if the due date is in 5 days and you are on a call horizon of 100% and a Scheduling period of 3 days, for example:
a) if you do not input Measurement Documents from Day 0 onwards, the Order will be generated due for Day 5 when you run the IP30 on Day 2
b) if you input a Measuring Document on Day 1 indicating that less than estimated or no fuel was used, the due date and call date may be pushed into the future and the Order will be generated after Day 2.
c) if you input the MD after Day 2, this Order will already have been called and will not be rescheduled, but subsequent calls might.

Schedules for certifications based on new SAP product versions?

Settings for performance based maintenance plan

Hi experts,
Incase of hour or Km dependent performance base plan, how we can fix the reading (In hours or Km) limit or period of order generation? what is the impact of annual estimate? Please give me an example with all readings.
Regards,

When you create a plan with a counter (Associate a measurement point of counter type to the same), then you would be able to specify at what intervals (Counter readings for this measurement point), the call object associated to the Maintenance plan should be generated.
The actual call date for this maintenance plan however depends on the "Annual estimate " for the measurement point counter and also the actual counter readings captured for the measurement point
For ex: Annual estimate maintained for the Point : 12,000 Miles .Maintenance for this equipment should be triggered for every 1000 Miles (This should be the counter interval maintained for the Maintenance plan). Based on the above the maintenance plan would generated a call every one month (Annual estimate / period).As an example, when this Maintenance plan is scheduled for 1 yr, then 12 maintenance calls will be generated one each for every month. The actual and scheduled dates for the call depends on the various other scheduling parameters maintained for the Plan.
Its critical for any counter based maintenance plan that the counter reading is Captured , Through measurement documents regularly, EVEN IF THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THE COUNTER READING, Otherwise, the system generates call objects (for example, maintenance orders) based on the estimated annual performance entered for the counter, even though the counter reading has not in reality been reached.
for ex: owing to a vehicle breakdown/ repair if the vehicle has been in repair shop for a month,To avoid a maintenance order being created before it is needed, you maintain the new total counter reading in the system regularly over the period of the month. You then reschedule the maintenance plan using IP30, and the call date is recalculated based on the updated counter reading. In this case, the call date would be later.

Performance based plan with reset

Hi Experts,
One of my client is maintaining Fleet and have planned maintenance packages for the vehicles.
For every 10000 KM they do Regular service, every 30000 KM they do Minor service, for every 100000 KM Major service.
Minor service includes Regular and Major includes both Minor and Regular.
There should be 100% shift in all the packages but shift in Regular package should not shift the dates of Minor and Major, shift in Minor should shift Regular but not Major.
And once the plan reaches 100000 KM and Major service is completed, the maintenance plan should be reset and again start with the cycle (Re,Re,Mi,Re,Re,Mi,Re,Re,Mi,Ma).
Any way this is possible with standard or through development.
Thanks & Regards,
Feroz

PeteA,
Based on the requirement given by Feroz, it seems that final reading on the vehicle is 100000.
Feroz,
Please confirm what is maximum reading on your vehicle meter which makes it 0.
If it is 99999 (i.e., 100000). The solution given by me would work.
If it is not the maximum reading, you might be able to play with Annual Estimate in Measuring point and Scheduling Period in Maintenance plan to achieve your requirement.
Please do reply.

Remaining capacity requirements scheduled for operation in Planned Order

Hi all,
I'm workig with planned orders, and I need the "Remaining capacity requirements scheduled for operation" data to list it in a Z Report, but I don't know how to get it.
You can see the info in the "Detail Scheduling" of the planned order in MD13.
Anyone knows how to get the info? Any table or any FM to get it?
Points will be given for helping
Thanks in advance!

Did you ever find out where the planned order capacity information lives? I can find the production capacity information in table KBEZ, but it appears that there is no planned order info there.
Thanks,
Matthew Bruckner

Appraisal template for performance management plan

Hi, I can see my performance management plans in the table per_perf_mgmt_plans. But in this table I can't see the appraisal template that is linked to the plan. Is there any table or view which shows this?
Thanks

Thanks for the answer but I actually would like to see it in a database table. In the per_perf_mgmt_plans table there is no mention of the appraisal template. Is there a table or view I can find this link between the plan and the appraisal template? Thanks

Performance based maintenance plan

I am trying to schedule my performance based plan under two conditions:-
In the first factor,I have kept my initial counter reading as 0 as on today,my cycle as 2000 hrs,estimated as 2500 hrs.
An my plan date is calculated as 24.10.12.
In the second factor,I have kept my counter reading as 0 as on today,my cycle as 2000 hrs,estimated as 2500 hrs.
An my plan date is calculated as 24.10.12.
Why the planned date is coming as 24.10.12 in both the cases.It should be different.

Hi,
I believe you have created counter today and starting value may be 0 or directly 500KM .. in this case last counter reading for both the values will be same date ..so better post 550KM tommorow and then try this way and check :
First condition :- Start counter reading with 0KM
Secondition :- Start counter reading with 550KM ..
Doing the above should give you different dates ..
In your case you have posted both OKM & 500KM on same day you will not find any difference in calculation of dates ..
Note :- System takes the last counter reading date as the start date for calculation ..in case of Counter based plans ..

Performance based maintenance Plan and regular reading

SAP says that for performance based plan it is imporatnt to enter the current reading REGULARY, even if it has not changed. otherwise, the system genrates call objects based on estimated annual performance entered for the counter, even though the counter reading has not in reality been reached.
My question is what does REGULAR means? does it means weekly reading? or daily as suggested in post http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2016488&tstart=0
My concern is daily zero value reading, isn't this an over kill and too much unneccessary data.
I will appreciate your views.
Regards

Thanks fopr your reply.
I didnt quite get that though.
are you saying I dont need to load regular zero values if vehicle is not doing any KM, as long as annual estimated value is realistic?
What should be the annual estimated value of the counter for the following plan?
1- 3MON OR 10,000 KM
2- 6MON OR 20,000 KM
3- 30MON OR 60,000 KM
I would think its 40,000 Km per year. But if i do that and if my vehicle doesn't do any KM and stay parked for longer period then maintennace plan calls the the KM based package instead of Mon based. hence bringing the call object sooner then it was suppose to.
My original question was how REGULAR reading is acceptable for performance based plans e.g. weekly, monthly etc?

Consumption based planning

Hi,
I need to configure the CBP based on Past consuption data of 3 months and also it should give me future forecast values for 3 months. also I want to use safety stock and Reorder level.
Which MRP type should be used and what are configuration setting required for the same.
Also pl.guide me on What will happen if there is sedden rise in the requirement is any month?
Thx

Hi,
MRP supports and helps the MRP controller in the task areas. These tasks include
determining type, quantity and time of the requirement, and scheduling corresponding
procurement elements. The automatic planning run for MRP determines shortage situations and generates the corresponding procurement elements. Possible
procurement elements of MRP are planned orders, purchase requisitions and
scheduling agreement schedule lines. The planned order and purchase requisition are
internal planning elements that can be changed, rescheduled or deleted at almost
any time.
In in-house production, the system creates planned orders for planning production
quantities. When planning has finished, the system converts the planned orders into
production orders. The system then converts the dependent requirements in the
planned order into reservations in the production order.
In external procurement, the system either creates a planned order or a purchase
requisition for direct planning of external procurement quantities. Whether purchase
requisitions are created for direct planning, or planned orders are created first, you
can use the creation indicator for purchase requisitions/MRP groups in the material
master record on the initial screen of the planning run. When planning has finished,
the planned order must be converted to a purchase requisition, which is subsequently
converted to a purchase order. The advantage of creating a planned order first is
the additional procurement proposal check that is executed by the MRP controllers.
Purchasing can only order the material when the MRP controller has checked the
planned order and converted it into a purchase requisition. Otherwise, the procurement proposal is immediately available for Purchasing.
Planning Levels of Consumption-Based Planning
Requirements planning takes place at plant level. In other words, the entire stock that
exists in the plant is considered in planning. However, the stocks of individual storage
locations can be excluded from MRP or planned independently. These stocks are then
not included in MRP at plant level. You can also execute requirements planning
for individual MRP areas. You can define the MRP areas yourself. This means
that several storage locations can be grouped together for one MRP area and that
requirements planning can be executed separately from the plant for these MRP areas.
MRP areas enable a differentiation of material requirements planning within a plant.
(MRP areas include the function of storage locations that are planned separately for
materials requirements.)
Planning Levels for Materials Planning is either
1. The Plant with Storage locations planned separately.
2. MRP areas
Basically, MRP areas are optional. You can plan all material requirements without referring to MRP areas.
There are three different types of MRP areas:
1. Plant MRP areas (obligatory) that are automatically created by activating
planning with MRP areas. Their numbers match the number of the plant. If no
more MRP areas are defined, the plant MRP area covers the entire plant.
2. Storage location MRP areas that are defined by the storage locations assigned
to them.
3. Subcontractor MRP areas that provide planning of the requirement of the
material provided for a subcontractor and are defined by the assignment of
this subcontractor.
Prerequisites for Consumption-Based Planning
The following prerequisites must have been fulfilled in order to carry out requirements
planning for a plant:
Requirements planning for the corresponding plant must be activated in
Customizing for Materials Management under Consumption-Based Planning u2192
Planning u2192 Activate Material Requirements Planning.
T-code - OMDU
The plant parameters for the corresponding plant must be activated in
Customizing for Materials Management under Consumption-Based Planning u2192
Plant Parametersu2192 Carry Out Overall Maintenance of Plant Parameters.
T-code - OMI8
In the material master record, you have to maintain the MRP data of the materials
that are subject to automatic planning.
I hope this may help u !

Consider the pending PO and Purchase requisition fore cast base planning (vv)

Dear friends,
Our client at presently they are using Forecast based planning for RAW material , in that requirement will not consider Pending Pur req and PO, Is that any option for consider pending PO for Forecast based planning , kindly do the needful.
Regards,
Sabhapathy R

Hello Sabhapathy,
I am not sure why you would need to consider pending PurReqs and POs. These pending documents are considered during the MRP run, but not to generate the forecast.
Forecast-based planning is based on material consumption.
The MRP will generate PurReq or Planner Orders considering the open documents. For example:
+ Current stock = 1000 CS
+ Open PRs and POs to arrive = 400 CS
- Forecast Requirement =1500 CS
- Safety Stock policies = 100 CS (safety stok)
- New replenishment orders = 200 CS
Thanks and Regards,
Mariano

Steps in Fore Cast Based MRP-reg

Hi,
we would like to implement forecast based MRP for spare parts which we supply against sales order from dealers
request you to provide us step by step working with forecast based MRP
1. what are the inputs for forecast based MRP
2. Process of forecast based MRP
3.Out put of forecast based MRP
4. reduction of requirements
etc...
madhu kiran.

Hi Madhu,
Use
Forecast-based planning is also based on material consumption. Like reorder point planning, forecast-based planning operates using historical values and forecast values and future requirements are determined via the integrated forecasting program. However, in contrast to reorder point planning, these values then form the basis of the planning run. The forecast values therefore have a direct effect in MRP as forecast requirements.
Features
The forecast, which calculates future requirements using historical data, is carried out at regular intervals. This offers the advantage that requirements, which are automatically determined, are continually adapted to suit current consumption needs. The forecast requirement is reduced by the material withdrawal so that the forecast requirement quantity that has already been produced is not included in the planning run again.
Reducing Forecast Requirements
*Reducing forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system also reduces future forecast requirements.
*Reducing current forecast requirements by consumption
If consumption is higher than the forecast requirements in the current month, then the system does not reduce future forecast requirements.
*Average reduction of the forecast requirements
The reduction of the forecast requirements is based on average daily consumption. Actual consumption data is not relevant.
The system calculates the average daily requirement first using the formula forecast requirement/number of workdays in the forecast period.
The forecast requirements are then reduced by the quantity resulting from the following formula: number of workdays worked x average daily requirements.
Period Pattern and Forecast Periods
You can specify the period pattern for the forecast (daily, weekly, monthly or per accounting period) and the number of periods to be included in the forecast individually for each material. It is possible, however, that the forecast period pattern is not specific enough for planning purposes. In this case, you can define per material that the forecast requirements should be divided according to a finer period pattern for planning. You can also define how many forecast periods are to be taken into account during requirements planning. The splitting indicator is defined in Customizing for MRP per plant and per period unit and is assigned to the material in the material master.
For a monthly forecast, the requirements date would be set on the first workday of the month because, for planning, it is assumed that the total requirement must be available at the beginning of the period. You can then divide this monthly requirement into either daily or weekly requirements.
Prerequisites
You have set an MRP type for forecast-based planning in the material master (MRP 1 view).
You define MRP types in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Check MRP types.
Process Flow
1.The system copies the requirements quantities that it has forecast in the requirements planning run and calculates net requirements. During this calculation, every period is checked to make sure that the forecast requirements are covered either by available stock, by planned receipts from purchasing or by production. If a material shortage occurs, the system generates a procurement proposal.
2.The system calculates the quantity recorded in the procurement proposal according to the lot-sizing procedure that you specified in the material master. Depending on the lot-sizing procedure, several forecast requirements are grouped together into one lot.
3.For every procurement proposal, the system calculates the date on which it must be converted into a purchase order or a production order.
Hope this helps you.

Vinodh
