Capacity Leveling Question, Retaining original dates

Dear colleagues,
We are using standard dispatch functions in CM22. Here is a quick depiction of the problem.
Steps
1. Production order dispatched to a future date
2. Order is deallocated
3. System seems to retain the dispatch date of the production order and does not revert to the original date after deallocation
I realize that there may be settings that can help in retaining the original dates of the production order prior to the dispatch.
Have any of you set up the system to retain the old dates? Please advise.
Thanks,

Hello Pravan,
I have production order with basic/scheduled start/finished date= today's date.
1) I have made leveling. Scheduled finished date is changed to today's date+ X days.
2) I have made deallocation. Scheduled finished date is back to date as before dispatching: today's date.
I'm not sure what settings controls that, but if you will send yours, i will compare it with mine as will send you a difference if any.
Best Regards,
Andrey

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.

SNP - Capacity Leveling question

Hi All:
I am trying to do Capacity leveling in one resource and for one material.
After CIFing the material, resource, location and BOM (PDS), I entered some forecast for the specific material in DP and released it to SNP.
Then I ran the product heuristics and when I looked at the planning book 9ASNP94 and Data View SNP94 I noticed that the capacity utilization where more than 100 % in some periods.
Next I executed the 'Capacity leveling button'. and entered the following parameters and executed.
Combined Scheduling
100 % max util
Product priority
Ascending
Heuristics Method
All Relevant Resources
In the Log checked all the three options
The log comes out as follows:
Green status on Resource and Parameters
Yellow status and 'Resource xxxx not used in any PPM/PDS'
Red status Resource utilization
I checked the PDS for the resource xxxx and i found it to be there.
When I go back to the Capacity view the leveling has not happened.
What am I doing wrong? Pl. help.
Thanks
Narayanan

Hi Narayanan,
I think there should be any issue. I hope You selected the data view snp94(2), and loaded your resource in the planning book. then You executed the 'Capacity leveling button' in the planning Book, Right? Try without checking the 'consider alternative resource' check box, and dont give any priority in your capacity levelling profile.
Thanks,

HT4796 How to retain original dates of files while migrating from PC to MacBookPro

I migrated my Documents, Pictures, etc. from my PC (Dell Latitude E6410) to the new MacBookPro (late 2013) by a hard connection (Thunderbolt to Ethermet adaptor) using the Migration Assistant. The transfer was OK, however, the dates of the Files (and individual Documents) migrated now ALL have the date of migration!!!
Is it possible to "retain" the original dates of the files during the migration process???

its often the same going from PC to PC and mac to Mac if you use external media
I do have one complicated suggestion. if you can get the two machines networking smoothly, you could run rsync scripts to sync them and maintain dates as best possible. I can do that via SMB to a network attached drive.
But i cannto even try to my PC because its sharing rules are locked by corporate IT weasels

How can I retain original data when copying Music Library to 2nd computer?

I created my iTunes music library (about 1300 songs) on my Power Book, and I want to maintain a complete backup on my new Mac Pro. I tried this by copying the entire Music folder from the Power Book via firewire to the Mac Pro. However, iTunes on the Mac Pro launched a blank Library page. So I used the Import command to load the Library from the copied files.
This seems fine except the Date Added column listed the current date for the entire library. For various reasons, I need the original Date Added for each song, along with any and all notes, ratings, and edits on every song.
Is there a way I make iTunes on the Mac Pro recognize and open the original Library files instead of starting a new document?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, I did not succeed.
After following all the steps, the results were the same as before. Launching iTunes on the Mac Pro produced a blank library. So I went to a folder in the copied iTunes Music file and clicked on a song, which launched iTunes with the song ready to play. But it had no play count, none of the original Date Added information, no ratings. It was as if I had just purchased 1300 songs within the last 15 minutes. Therefore it made no sense to waste time "importing" the entire old library into the new one, because the "vital statistics" would be missing.
I repeated the exercise several times to see if I made a mistake. Once, after navigating to the "location where you would like your new Music folder to be created, " I bypassed the New Folder button and just clicked the existing empty folder. That didn't work. Then I created a folder and named it "iTunes Music folder new." The song files went into that folder okay, but the data didn't.
I tried moving the folder from the Hard Drive location (where it landed by default after I created it) into the User file's Music folder where the old iTunes Music folder was located. Still didn't work.
I performed these operations after connecting a firewire cable between my Power Book and the Mac Pro. I used the Power Book as the host computer, because it contains the original library. I started the Mac Pro in Target Disk Mode.
I launched iTunes in the Power Book and followed the transfer instructions, as described above.
I think I've spent no less than six hours trying to accomplish what ought to be a straightforward task. I've been using Macs since the mid-1980s, but this iTunes stuff tops my list in sheer frustration. What am I missing?

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

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

Is there a way to retain the original date after editing?

I am using PSE 11 on a MacBook Pro, OS X (10.3). I have a lot of old pictures to edit, and they are in date order, which is how I want them.
However, when I edit a picture and save it, it moves it to the bottom, with today's date instead of the original date. I have them set to save with the original as a version set.
Is there any way to retain the orignal dates, short of having to go in and reset the date on every picture after I save it? I really want them to be in date order under their original dates.
BTW, I used earlier versions that were Windows-based, and this didn't happen. When I saved them, the version sets stayed where they were.
This is really frustrating!

SK Prairie Chicken a écrit:
I'd like an answer to this too.
What's your problem exactly?
The 'date taken' is never changed by editing a picture.

Capacity Leveling - CM22 - Question

Colleagues,
We are using CM22 for performing capacity leveling functions.
1) In the standard system the Total capacity requirements (First column), are updated based on confirmation. We noticed that
only confirmaton yield is posted, the capacity requirement is deducted. However, we would like to know if capacity requirements can be deducted, just by confirmin the operation hours alone.
2) In the standard system, the Total capacity requirements incudes all the time buckets against an operation and sums it up as requirement. Therefore, if you have setup time, processing time in an operation both are added to the total capacity requirements and displayed. We would like to consider only processing time and not include setup time in to the total capacity requrements field.
If any of you have modified the total capacity requirement field on CM22, I would appreciate your thoughts and inputs on how to go about doing this.
Thanks,
PKV

Hi, I didnt get your 1st question correctly. please elaborate.
For point No-2, From a business prespective if you dont want to capture setup time in ur capacity reqmt, then you should'nt be entering the same in the work center. For some of the clients we have used only process time so that we can plan actual capacity reqmt. But in those case, the setup time was negligible when compared to process time.

How to retain original song data (Date Added, etc.) after computer reformat.

Hello!
I recently had to reformat my computer, and I was able to copy all my music files and data to an external hard drive.
I currently have iTunes installed on my C drive (Windows 7) and all my music files are on a partition of my PC hard drive (P:). See image below.
What I like to do is to retain all the original song information (Date Added, Last Played, Play Count, etc.) from before I reformated, without all the songs having a Date Added of today's date and time.
I've tried to research this elsewhere on the Internet. A couple suggestions I've read pertain mostly to Macs but included the following:
~ Using the "iTunes Library.itl" file by choosing a library. Not sure how to do this method on the Windows version. (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3155068?start=0&tstart=0)
~ Changing the iTunes Media folder location (under Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced tab). I changed it to the folder above (P:\My Music\iTunes\) and clicked OK but nothing happens.
Any help or detailed instructions are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

OK, I partially solved the problem.
I primarily followed the steps under Re-creating the iTunes Library file on this page:
iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
I imported using the iTunes Music Library.xml file that I saved before reformating. This file had all the correct library information before I reformatted, including the Play Count, Play Date UIC, Rating, and Date Added data. Snipet here:
<dict>
          <key>Track ID</key><integer>20090</integer>
          <key>Name</key><string>Killer Queen</string>
          <key>Artist</key><string>Queen</string>
          <key>Composer</key><string>Freddie Mercury</string>
          <key>Album</key><string>Greatest Hits I</string>
          <key>Date Added</key><date>2011-02-27T21:44:06Z</date>
          <key>Play Count</key><integer>5</integer>
          <key>Play Date UTC</key><date>2011-04-14T05:11:12Z</date>
          <key>Rating</key><integer>80</integer>
</dict>
Upon importing, all the music and playlists are now in my library along with all the original data I had before (Last Played, Plays, Ratings)...
...EXCEPT for the Date Added column. All the songs in my library show the same date of 05/15/2012 under Date Added.
Is there a reason why the Date Added data is not carried over?
On a side note: my music hard drive partition before the reformat was "J:", now it is "P:". So, to make it work I made a quick find/replace to the iTunes Music Library.xml so that all "\J:\" now show "\P:\". If this makes a difference, let me know.
Thanks!

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.

Hope it helps

Work Center(Capacity Level) Change Documents

We have a requirement to capture work center change documents at the capacity level which I understand is not supported by standard SAP; note 352485(point 15). Is there, though, a customized solution that can be developed? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Usman,
I have already tested the method you are mentioning. You cannot save a order without work center. So, you need to use a dummy work center and change all the open orders.. if you want to change capacity category from A to B. New capacity category should be mentioned in dummy or original work center.
When you replace the work center, order will be gng for scheduling.. which leads to change of Basis start date and earliest start date... this is an inconsistency...
To avoid it... i followed below steps
1. Uncheck the capacity requirement indicator in all open orders
2. when u try to delete, it will say "Capacity is still being used"
3. Table KBED, use capacity ID and run, it will list out the pending orders
4. When the table has no entries, delete the capacity category
5. check all capacity indicator

Capacity Leveling - wrong conversion of base quantity

Hello Everyone,
we have the following issue /question with respect to capactiy leveling using PDS (APO 5.0):
the base unit conversion does not seem to be correct in the capacity leveling view:
Our settings:
In our routing we have defined a base qty of 10 PC, no break, no set up time, only 2min. machine no labour.
Resource: Single mixed , 100% capacity consumption
Material Output BOM =100 PC
PDS activity conversion for 100 PC = 1200 seconds
However: when entering 100 PC as planned requirement, the system calculates a capacity consumption of 33,33 hrs, with 10 PC 3,33, 1 PC 0,33 hrs. not the expected 20 minutes. Can anyone help clearing the fog? Any setting missing?
Thanks a lot,
Toms Team

Hi Dibyendu,
In both the material order unit is not maintained.
Only the base unit of measure is maintained as EA and in additional data under units of measure the conversion factor of 1EA = 2 KG is maintained for both materials

Is capacity leveling is in ltp

Is capacity leveling possible in the Long term planning i.e after simulative mrp run.

Sunil Patil

Hi Mr.Sunil Patil,
Please check the help given by SAP.
SAP allows this.

Leveling Capacity in the Planned Order
Prerequisites
The planned order must be scheduled.
Procedure
Starting from the Long-term Planning node, choose Long-term planning ® Simulative planned order ® Change.
The system displays the details screen for the planned order. From this screen, you can call up the capacity check, if necessary, by choosing Edit ® Capacity check. The system then checks available capacities. If no overload exists on the work centers in question, the system displays a message stating that no overload exists. If an overload does exist, the system branches to the capacity situation where you can make any necessary changes.
To level capacities, choose Goto Capacity leveling.
The system displays the dialog box entitled, Settings for Capacity Planning if you have not yet defined any parameters for capacity planning.
Select the appropriate planning type and the period type for capacity planning. If necessary, select a period of examination. Choose Continue.
The system carries out scheduling using the parameters set in Customizing.
If scheduling could not be carried out free of error, the system displays an overview of the scheduling errors based on the planned orders in question. From here, you can access the scheduling log to check the details on the scheduling errors. To do this, choose Log.
5. Choose Continue. The system displays the evaluation of the capacity situation.
Capacity leveling is also displayed with reference to a work center and a capacity category (for example, machine or person) and the unit of measure is displayed from the work center. Here, the following is valid: If a planning work center (routing header) is entered in the routing the system first displays this work center with the corresponding capacity category. Otherwise, the selection is random. The system also displays the following data:
Order number, order quantity and order finish date
Available capacity
Total capacity requirements for the selected work center
Capacity requirements for the material
Capacity requirements of the selected planned order
Capacity loads resulting from the selected planned order are specially indicated.

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 .

Original dates in comparison of actual dates

Hi Experts
I have a project with certain activities and partily executed (few activities are confirmed and partially confirmed).
For the finally confirmed activities, the planned earliest and latest dates if activity are matched with actual dates.
To have an analysis of planned and actual dates, how to retain the original dates?
Over a period of time, i have incerted new activities. To enable bringing these activities in schedule, i need to re-schedule the project.
But, the origjnal schedule also will get rescheduled. I am looking for retaining the original schedule despite repeated reschedules for the purpose of future analysis.
Generally, the project progress in gantt chart (general business requirement) is monitored with out deviating the original schedule.
Require comments by experts.
warm regards
ramSiva

Hi Mahendra
My scheduling scenario is bottom up, because the individual activities and procurement lead times will decide the actual planning for each WBS.
So, as you suggested, once after complete structuring and initial scheduling, i will transfer the basic dates to forecast dates.
Then onwards i will keep reschedule after confirmation / partial confimation / addition of new activities. Is this method keeps the forecast dates unchanged forever and gives information on iniital schedule?
During intermittent rescheduling, will the forecast dates get affected as like basic dates (due to my scenario bottom-up)?
warm regards
