Hi,
In CM01 transaction Menu click on Settings -> General;
In the data area Interval to be evaluated start field will be blank by default. you can enter in -value so that start date would go in past.
click on Time periods button . check Period of database selection From date. You can get details only from the date for the Overall profile attached.
if this has not solved your purpose, you have to change OverallProfile.
Planning -> Profiles -> Overall Profiles.
Select another Overall profile.

BAPI for reading capacity of a workplace/work center?

Hi,
I'm looking for a BAPI/RFC using SAP MII to read the capacity of a workplace/work center in a given time period (eg. one or more days/weeks/...). I would like to use the import parameters plant ( WERKS ), date from, date to, workplace/work center (eg. CRHD-ARBPL ) and capacity category (eg. KAKO-KAPAR ). As output I would like to get a list of (planed/used) capacities as the working time for the given time period at the specified workplace/work center.
In theory the BAPI CBP_EXC_WC_CAPACITY_REQUEST nearly does what I want. The only drawback is, that it outputs the "wrong" time.
Let me give an example: The work center uses at a given day a capacity from 6 to 22 clock, including one hour break. This gives us a working time of 15 hours for this workplace and day. And "15h" is the time I need. But as there are working 5 worker at this work center the BAPI CBP_EXC_WC_CAPACITY_REQUEST returns 75 hours (which is 5 * 15). But the result "75" is useless for me as long as I don't additonal get the number of workers.
I've searched in our SAP system and in this forum, but wasn't able to find another BAPI that gives me the correct time. As an alternative I would need another BAPI to get me the number of workers for a workplace/work center at a given time. But I also was out of luck finding one.
Looking out for help,
Simon

Thanks for your fast reply!
I have looked to both functions before. Beside that they are both not remote enabled (which is not such a big problem as I could copy them or build a custom BAPI around them) I'm not quite sure how they could solve my problem.
If I got it right, I would first use CR_CAPACITIES_OF_WORKCENTER to get the KAPID and using it as input for CLOI_WC_CAPACITY_READ. But I have problems to understand the output of CLOI_WC_CAPACITY_READ. The data type of the capacity is a float ( FLTP ) and the number seems to be to big, eg. 9.800000000000000E+01= 98h for one day.
Could you try to explain your solution once again?
Thanks,
Simon

Pooled Capacity Not updating in Work center

Hi All, I want to update pooled capacity in Work center. But when i delete the existing capacity it is giving error that " Capacity still being used". Can any one suggest,how to tackle this problem? I want to give solution to Client. Thanks in Advance..!

HI,
Capacity Utilisation rate = Actual Capacity / Theoritical Capacity
Theoritical Capacity= Shift period * No. of machines available
= 8 hrs * 2 = 16 hrs
Actual Capacity value depends on how the company decides it. Say if the break 30 mins has to be considered, then the actual capacity will be 15 hrs for 2 capacities and hence,
Capacity Utilisation rate = 15 / 16 = 93.8%
So, decide the utilisation rate based on the Company's requiremnt.
Hope the above gives you an idea.

Capacity Planer Group --- Maintenance work center

Hi,
I have a query
1. like do we have to create capacity planner groups same as the planner groups in equipment master data....Do they have any link??
2. What would be the start time and end time in maintenance work center, for 24 hrs open manufacturing industry with 3 shifts???
thanks
DM

Hello Deepak,
There is no relation between capacity planner grp & Maintenance planner group...These are 2 different things..
Now the work centers can be defined for the technicians if HR module is not implemented...
To perform the capacity planning for the technicians, there daily working hrs must be maintained in the system..Though the maintenance is working for 24 hrs,Single technician cannot work for entire 24 hrs..
Hope this will help..
Thanks

Different activity type for different capacity category in a work center

Hello,
Multiple capacity categories can be created in a work center like
Engineer
Sr. Engineer
Architect
Rates for all of them will be different (obviously) , however we can only have 1 activity type as default in a work center . We intend to 'HR assignment' corresponding to each capacity category . how can we have multiple activity type for different capacities (Engineer , architect etc).
With regards,
Mrinal

Hi Paulo,
thanks for your quick reply.
Requirement is to assign all persons (Engineer, architect ) to 1 work center and to 1 activity , but to default different activity type (corresponding to capacity category) in worklist of time sheet .
With regards,
Mrinal

What will happen if a maitain both standard available capacity and grouping key ( shift definition and shift sequence) in the capacity header of a work center?

Hi all,
Im little confused with the capacity header in work center. In the capacity header there is one place to give start time, end time, length of break and number of individual capacity. And in grouping key i can define the shift and shift sequence. So if im maintaining both of these ( standard avilable capacity and grouping key), which will be considered to calaculate avilable capacity?

Hi
If you are running three shifts ,please maintain the data as given belwo
start :00:00:00
End:23:59:59
Break :03:00:00 ( 1 Hour per shift so 3 hrs for 3 shifts)
No.of individual capacity :1
System will understand that it is round the clock operation with total three hour brak and you will get 21 hour per capacity
Hope this helps

Capacity availability in capacity header screen of work center

hi all
In capacity header under Standard avalaible capacity we have start time ,Finish time and Break time and Number of individual capacity . I have definesShift sequence and grouping and assign it in this view.
but My questionis Standard available capacity maintaines per day or per shift.?
what about individual capacity (i.e Number fo machines avalable per shif . I defined the avalable capacity i.e operating time 7 hours. per shift then in CMO3 t-code Available capacity should be 21 hours per day but it is showing only 7 hours .Why it is
for examlpe
Start time 06.00
Finish time 14.00
Break time 01.00
no .of in capacity 01
so in CMO3 t-code Available capacity should be 21 hours per day

Capacity evaluation for internal and external workers in one work center

Hi ,
Normally in all Industries you have internal manpower to execute work. Say I have a work center named "Mechanical" , I will have 5 people working 8 Hrs for 5 days in a week. We usually configure this in capacity tab of work center for capacity category "002-Labour". In scheduling tab we configure sceduling data for a capacity category "002-labour"
In many industries , depending on load, many time, external labours are hired to give assistance to internal workers. Technically it is like adding one more capacity category "PER-Person" and adding number external labours there and in scheduling tab adding required configuration for "PER" capacity category
Total capacity for any given day would be available capacity in capacity category -002 + available capacity in PER capacity category.
However in scheduling Tab , scheduling basis can be either 002/PER.
How can we add more scheduling basis to refer to more than one capacity category ?
Any other alternative to above problem statement?

let us say, you have a work "Pump repair" which is done partly by internal workers say 2 people and 1 external labour. Let us assume the number of people in 002-labour is 2 (internal ) and capacity in capacity category (PER) which is external work center is 3 (Total 5 ).
Now if I I leave scheduling basis as blank, then system will calculate scheduling based on 002 capacity category as it is "Major" . But I want system to consider both 002 and +PER .
You are suggesting two line items "Pump Repair internal" and give 2 numbers and duration as 8 control key PM01 . Create another operation "Pump repair External" use control key PM02 (where in scheduling is enabled) where 1 number - 8 Hrs duration is maintained with another work center.
If I maintain 2 different work centers and two different operations, this will work. But for customer this is just one work and capacity evaluation should be based on capacity category 002 and PER .
How to solve this by maintaining one work center , two capacity categories in same work center and maintaining one control key PM01 in operation?

Varying Maintenance Work Center Capacity by Days of the Week

I had submiited a question a month or so ago about varying the capacity of a maintenance work center depending on the day of the week. I got an answer and it worked.
We've set up another work center (in staging) for the same scenario (the work center is half staffed on Fridays). Monday through Thursday the capacity is 36 hours, Friday the capacity is 18 hours, the validity from date is 04/05/2010. When we use CM34 to do some scheduling though, the capacity shown is 40 hours a day, Monday through Friday which is what the capacity was set up for prior to the validity from date. It's also the same capacity as shown in the 'Standard Available Capacity' section.
I looked back at the work center I had modified previously and it's showing the same thing. It's like it's ignoring the validity dates.
Any ideas?
David Macindoe

David,
I know for sure that this is reflected in the standard profile for Capacity Availability check as part of release of the order (SAPSFCG013). The Availability for the week does show the capacity for the interval dates of the week and not the standard available capacity.
I haven't checked this on CM24 and if the standard profiles don't reflect the change then the profile probably needs to be changed.I need to look into it to make sure. In the meantime if you aren't able to resolve the same, i would suggest to raise a note and see where that leads you.

Dear,
CRHD-wc header table and CRCA- assignment of capacity to WC.
From CRHD - pass WC name to CRHD and get the object ID
Pass this Object ID to CRCA to get the capcity in WC.

Work center-Machine wise report

Hi Guys,
I have a work center for ex CNC in which i have taken 3 machines,in capacities i define the individual capacity for each machine & iam also able to split the capacity amoung the machines,Now if i want to take a report to give to the work center supervisor -list of the operations that i have loaded in the work center,<b>is there any standard report available where i can even get the detail of the load in the machines of particular work center?</b> otherwise pls give me some workaround

Hi vijay,
what u need is, day or weekly wise prodution load for each machine .. am i correct?
u need a report containing details about what are all materials to be produced and its all operations for each machine.
In that case u have to develop some customized Zreport.

Distribution function in work center

Hi All,
What is the use of distribution function, distribution strategy in work center.
All responses will be awarded accordingly.

jejesh
Edited by: jejesh yal on Dec 29, 2008 11:41 AM

Hi Jejesh,
Well, You use a distribution to specify how the system distributes the capacity requirements of an operation that extends over several days; that is, how much capacity requirement is allocated to the affected capacity type in the work center on each of the days.
A distribution is described by a distribution function and a distribution strategy.
Distribution function
You define the distribution function using basic values. The basic values specify after what percentage of operating time a particular percentage of the capacity requirement for the operation is loaded to the affected capacity type. The system-internal default basic value for a distribution function defines that after 0% of operating time, 0% of the capacity requirements are loaded.
Distribution strategy
You use the distribution strategy to specify:
Whether the system is to distribute the capacity requirements between the earliest or the latest start and finish dates of an operation
Whether the distribution of the capacity requirements is to be discrete or continuous.
I hope this would help.
Best Regards,
Rahul

Dyanmic work center selection in production order based on material

Hi ALL,
We’ve a business requirement to support the following functionality.
There are four similar type of milling machines say MILL1 MILL2, MILL3, MILL4, we create a single work center called MILLMC by specifying total capacity of four milling machines in the capacity header screen of work center with 4 individual capacities. And we mention work center MILLMC in the operation of routings for respective materials.
However, during production order creation, there needs to be provision for detailed planning of work centers as per the following requirements
In production order, some operations can be performed on any one of the machines MILL1 MILL2, MILL3, MILL4, so provision needs to be there to enter exact machine on which it is performed in the production order operation after the details are copied from respective routing during production order creation.
In production order, some operations can be performed on only MILL3, so system should select only MILL3 in the respective operation of the production order
In production order, some operations can be performed on either MILL1 or MILL2 or MILL4 and not on MILL3, so system should not select MILL3 in the respective operation of the production order.
Please provide your valuable feedback to support the above requirements.
Regards,
Satya.

Hi Satyanarayan,
Please do refer to the below document. I think the same concept can be used for work centers as it is used for resources in PI industry.

Work center design and operation confirmation

Hi All,
In my scenario im grouping the similar m/c to a work center
say for ex. 4 lathes m/c into a single work center as LatheALL and also the indiv cap as 4
my customer wants the traceability in which m/c the job is done
So i had designed in such a way that
1 LatheALL -4 cap(this will be additional wc)
2. lathe1 - 1cap
3.lathe2 - 1cap
4.lathe3-1cap
5.lathe4-1cap
in the routing only latheALL will be given., this will help customer in planning
when going for operation confirmation i will give confirmation for that operation and will confirm as lathe1or lathe2 or etc.. this will help prodn dept for traceability in which m/c the work is done
this is method i have informed to client .,
pls advice is this approach is correct ?
also suggest by giving confirmation for another work center will the capacity for the original work center will be reduced
Regards
Anand Srinivasan

Hi Anand,
this is method i have informed to client .,
pls advice is this approach is correct ?
yes, during confirmation time to enter the orginal actual work center, this suitable for your client requirement, do the settings for OPK0 - change the confirmations parameters (0410 or 0420)

Sankaran
