Capacity Leveling Or Tabular Mettod

Hi Experts
Can any one tell me About the capacity leveling or tabular method And how we used it in our day to day scenario.

Hi Pankaj,
Normally in domestic projects very less usage has been seen for Capacity LVl. but by the Tcode CM25 you can use this form of levelling. CM25 is tabular capacity planning board where you can see the capacity requirements laid against the planned orders or work centers. After visualizing the plan you can better evaluate the capacity requirement. But it is mainly used to priortize the operations in std. practice.
There as the board you can select the plaaned order and via allcaote and Deallocate buttons you can take these operations. And finnaly you despatch it them to upper tab of the boards as yr firm capacity load.
Pls try it. It is a very good tool,

Issue met in Capacity Leveling with tabular

Hi, guru:
I met a fascinating issue in CM22,Remain.avail.capac. fileds in the upper area is 0, so i checked the available capacity with CM01 for the correspondent day, available capacity is 14.After i creating a production order, the capacity requirement is 1.7, but the field display -1.7 in CM22. so I can not dispatch it ,showing the error with overload. But i can dispatch it in CM21. I think the problem is that CM22 gets the wrong AvailCap or doesn't get it. but i don't know how to solve it . any sugession will be appreciated,thanks in advance.

Hi Dear:
Check you Capacity utilization into your Resource or Work Center, cause many times this parameters is the reason for you issue between these two tcodes.
I mean, the CM22 take in count this parameter, but not the CM01
I hope this be useful 4U

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 .

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 Leveling error CM22

Hi,
   I get a problem when I do capacity leveling in CM22..I can perform the leveling in CM21 successfully while I get error msg in CM22..I search this forum but no answer for this similar question..
error msg:
   I try CM21 and it works..I didn't save the leveling result in CM21 and switch to CM22,but I get this error msg..
Capacity not availableMessage no. C7056
Diagnosis
The system could not find any remaining available capacity within the planning period.
things checked:
    I checked CM01 and I am sure there are enough capacity available ,the planning period in CM21 is also correct (2011/7/1 to 2012/3/31).I also check the strategy(finite schedule and planning direction checked)..

Capacity leveling procedure

Hi pp friends,
I have done all required settings and i can see periodrequirements in CM22 but don't know how to carryout lelling execution steps and how will it benefit in case of production order.
If possible send screen shots.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Capacity levelling can be performed more easily from transaction CM21(graphical) rather than CM22(Tabular).
CM21 displays planning table with 4 separate parts. upper left part gives details of work center, lower left part gives corresponding planned order./production orders(you can restrict in selection screen only production orders/planned orders). lower right part gives Orders pool and load will be shown in red colour. Upper right part gives any changes mode to capaciry requirements.
Please go through Standard SAP documentation related to Capacity levelling for more details.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/49/e6f3340cdb8c44e10000009b38f844/frameset.htm
From this transaction you can see capacity Overlappings on each work centers clearly. By levelling the capacity of production orders from here will change the scheduling of the operations.

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?

HI
Capacity evaluation
In the capacity evaluation, available capacity and capacity requirements are determined and compared with each other in lists or graphics.
Capacity leveling
The objectives of capacity leveling are:
Optimal capacity commitment
Selection of appropriate resources
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.
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.
T codes for Capacity Planning
Work Center view - Capacity Evaluation
CM01 - Load
CM02 - Orders
CM03 - Pool
CM04 - Backlog
CM05 - Overload
Capacity Leveling
CM21,CM22, CM27,CM28.
Hope it will help u

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.

WORK FLOW & PROCEDURE FOR FOR SNP CAPACITY LEVELLING HEURISTICS RUN

Dear Sir / Madam,
Currently, we are taking only SNP Heuristics Run and the output viz. planned stock transfer requisitions are being passed to PPDS as such. But now we feel, SNP capacity leveling can play a vital role in getting more fine tuned results from PPDS. So, We wants to start using the SNP Capacity leveling run. We shall like to know the work flow / procedure for taking the SNP capacity level run i.e. what inputs should be properly reviewed before taking the SNP capacity level run and what shall be its output..? Kindly let us know the procedure / work flow for taking the SNP Capacity Levelling Run.
Your early reply in this regard shall be really appreciable.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Hi Sanjeev,
as in any other module, correct master will play a key role in getting effective results in capacity levelling. you will need to check the following master data while setting the system for capacity levelling :
Consistency in BOM in R/3 and PPM/PDS
Consistency in Routing in R/3 and PPM/PDS - the actual through put on the shop floor should be the same as that in the routing and in the PPM/PDS. unless this is in sync, no amount of levelling can return good results.
Maintenance of shift - again as present in the shop floor.
you can provide the dump of the above master data and ask the shop floor engineers to validate the data as it exists in the ssytem. you can do the consistency check between R/3 and APO yourself using queries. Once they have validated this master data and the the actual master data reflects in your system, i think, the job is more than 50 % complete.
also you need to check the lot sizes, rounding profiles, and period factor, becasue all three combined play a major role in giving good or better results after levelling.
you may also check at what level you want to run the levelling. whther the bottleneck is at the finished component level, or 2nd level, etc. you may check whther you have discrete manufacuring or REM and if you really want to levelling on REM order.
then you need to analyse, what is the lengh of horizon you want to run the capacity leveling on. sometimes it makes no sense to run on the entire horizon because if capcities are already overlaoded, you will not achieve the desired results.
hence depending upon the level of your understanding and comfort of the planner (who will be using this result), the horizon can be increased grdually.
if you are starting to implemement capcity levelling, you can sumulate runs and show the results to the planner and check if the standard capacity heursitics satisfies their requirement. else you can go for custom requirement.
you will also have to decide on the stratagies, priorities,etc based on the business requirement.
i think the above should give some starting direction to implement capcaity levelling in your system.
award points if you find this useful.

After capacity leveling dependent requirement s to be adjusted

hi
iam planning a fert product on 30 th agust for 100nos
created md61 -pir for 100 nos
done mrp run at mdo2 and got scheduled dates for 100nos which has gone beyond the requirement date as i was chhosed leed time scheduling and made dependent reqirement proposal for the order operation date.
here the important thing is the work center which i nedd to produce was fully engaged inthe period (schedule period which system proposed) .hence i made capacity leveling and planned order dates were changed again
which are actual producion dates
after capacity leveling my planned order was firmed
my problem here is the dependent requirement proposal date also
need to be changed with respect to firmed planed order.
how to achive this
i tried with opu5
but no changes in dependent reuirement proposal (planned order)
plz suggest
sasikanth
vst-it projects

hi
i tried it but unfortunatly it is creating a new planned order and giving exemption messge to the firmed planned oder as cancel the proposal
which is not at all acceptable
means for a single PIR
i made mrp run AND got planned order , after leveling the planned order was firmed
means my pir was satisfied with this
i made mrp run without changing PIR dates and quantity by expecting that it should propose a new dependent reqirement
but system created a new planed order to pir date which sholud not happen.
plz elobrate your view

Prerequisites for Capacity leveling

what r the Prerequisites for Capacity leveling ?
What setting we can do to run the capacity leveling?

Hi,
Assign the correct capacity formula at workcenter .
Actiavte the Finite scheduling tick at Capacity header view & maintain the all relvant capacity data at capcity header.
Activate the "Generate cap req' check box at
OPU5,OPU3
Lead time scheduling should be carried out ie For planned order leveling , lead time scheduling should be carried out during MRP

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.
