Capacity planning for multiple orders

Hi All,
I am sure this is a common situation but I am struggling to map it so can I get some guidance.
We have a number of work centers where the capacity is based on the area of the part going into it against the shelf space. For example - we use an oven in our manufacturing process. It has 3 shelves with 3 m2 space in total. We would put different sized parts in until it is full. How can I map this capacity constraint in PP??
Kind regards
Ben

Hi,
You can determine the quantity of a material that can be accomodated in the oven with the mentioned space and the amount of time required to process the oven with that quantity. So mention this quantity in routing and do the Capacity planning as with the standard Processing formula in the Work center or use the formula [Formula for furnace|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/b1/c03921439a11d189410000e829fbbd/content.htm]
But, in real time, as we process different types of products, the confirmation qty of that Production order determines the qty processsed. Hence it is not possible to do capacity planning with the combination of different products.
Hope this gives you an idea..

Dear ,
To answer the question for Capacity requirement planning on sales order I would say that MRP does only materials planning based on demand and reciept but never does Capacity Requirement Plannig .MRP generates Planned Order and susequently , production order can be genreted and farther you can carry out capacity requirement planning based on the work cente available capacity , requirement and load for those MTO orders .
But there are SAP business suit like APO-SNP APO PPDS which carriy our details scheduleing and caapcity check based on the demand situation : Sales Order ,Independent Order and does capcaity vaialbality chek for those demands while planning .
Now , here is the answer of your question :
1) Can Capacities are Scheduled as per priority given in SO automatically. : Not possible through SAP MRP but in APO-PPDS, APO-SNP-CTM , Herustic model .
2) Can revised availability dates will be reflected in SO. : It can be reflected as per the ATP chekc , Replishmenet Lead Time and re-scheduling horizon maintained in OPPQ-Carry all overall plant parametres.
3) Which reports will be useful for understanding consolidated availability date of material for given sales order/s. : You can check through MD04/MD05 or in sales order -Availaibility check -Schedule Line -Availaibility date .
Hope your are clear about the requirememt .

Capacity Planning for Workflow Manager

Some information is available regarding highly available Workflow Manager implementations but I cannot find any information regarding when or how you should perform capacity planning for the workflow manager.
A few questions are jumping out at me.
When would we want/need a dedicated Workflow Manager server? (I can understand if this was shared between multiple farms this may be a benefit but what about from a pure capacity perspective).
Are there any case studies or documentation that we can use as a baseline estimation for capacity for the workflow manager?
Generally speaking for a small/medium farm deployment is it expected that this service also run on the application server?

That would really depend on what kind of workflows are being run and the traffic being generated by the users. If you have long and complex workflows, you will need multiple nodes in the farm to handle.
Our tests with very simple workflows on a 16-core 16GB machine with SQL Server on a diff machine showed that it could handle 400 incoming messages per second and 65 workflow executed per second. Now if you have complex workflows, it may slow down further.
If you have one msg per user per second - it may mean 400 users handled per second. But I wouldn't make that conclusion - u must test your farms against your scale needs and accordingly plan your farm capacity
Hope this helps

Capacity Planning for External Procurement Material

Hi, I have the following requirements.
MRP Scheduling is getting executed material level (material no, plant) with scheduling type 2 which means lead time scheduling using MD02 Transaction Code. This is works fine for the Inhouse Product. In order to achieve lead time the functional team has maintained the necessary routing/workcenter configs.
The business needs the same functionality "Capacity requirements calculation" for the external procurement material. Business is willing to maintain routing/workcenter config.
Currently standard program (MD02) is not considering the Capacity planning for the external Procurement material.
Could you please suggest is it can be controlled through programming.
Kindly suggest the function modules for Capacity Planning - materialwise, plantwise.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Giri

Hi Giri
I think the requirement is not mentioned clearly. Capacity is required only if the material is assembled/produced in house.
Anyway try this. Set the Procurement type to X in the MRP views in material master. You might have to define your custom material type so that it does not force the procurement type to F. Try the feature called "Quota arrangement". The idea is to define the material in such a way that it can be procured externally or produced in house. With quota arrangement you can say what % has to be bought and what % to be produced in house. If it is produced in house then you can have capacity requirements.

Single invoice for multiple orders with different divisions

Dear All,
while I am trying to do single invoice for muliple orders with different divisons invoice is gettting splitted..In copy control vbrk routine I tried with 003 and 007 etc..but result is same..what configuration need to be done for getting the single invoice
Thanks In advance
Regards
CNRNAIR

Hello
single invoice for multiple orders with "different divisions" invoice is getting split
FYI - Different Division means different Sales Area.
So, sales doc (whether sales order, Delivery & Billing) is applicable to EXACTLY one sales area.
Thus, combining docs with different sales area is practically impossible.
Provided, you are using common division.
Hope this assist you,
Thanks & REgards

Can you buy a plan for multiple computers?

Can you buy a plan for multiple computers? For just one price and one account?

MBAs do not have user replaceable batteries. I'm not sure you could even buy third-party replacement batteries. You may be able to purchase an Apple part through places like ifixit.com.

Capacity planning for DB, pctfree pctuser

What is segment, pctfree, pctused ? want to clear my concepts...
Secondly how we can do capacity planning for Database growth?

The simplest and most accurate approach is
- Create the schema
- Load it with a representative amount of data (i.e. 1-2% of the expected data volume)
- Measure the amount of disk required
- Multiply by an appropriate factor to determine the eventual size
You can also do back of the envelope calculations, taking the average row size of your larger tables, multiplying by the expected number of rows, then adding an appropriate multiplier. Probably in the neighborhood of 2 to account for indexes, empty space in the table, etc., but this is very application specific.

Shared planning for multiple companies

Hi SB1 guys,
We have a prospect which is divided in 3 different companies.
A large part of the payroll is common for those three companies (in other word, employees from company A work also for company B & C - so they have the same user name and password in the three DB)
My question is:
"Is it possible to get a shared planning/agenda for the three companies ?"
If you don't see what I call "Planning/Agenda", it contains informations you synchronize with MS Outlook.
In this planning/agenda, I want to get informations from different companies BUT for the same users ! (as I said, ONE employee works for several companies).
In some other words, I want a common visual planning for three companies in the same time.
I search for an answer for several weeks now, someone would be really kind if he brings me an answer (even it's not possible) !
Many thanks,
David

Thanks Baskar but I've already think about this issue.
In fact, my prospect want a visual planning where the manager could see a global view of employee's planning.
Sync with MS Outlook is helpful and sufficient for "individual use", I mean you could easily obtain info of your planning from different companies in MS Outlook but it's not possible to get this planning for multiple users.
My main request is to get a visual common in SAP Business One, but not in Outlook (where it's not possible in fact)
Thanks,
David

Can anybody give me the formula for Database capacity planning for 10gR2?

Hi ,
I want to learn how to make database capacity planning for production in 10gR2. Here i need any formula to plan the capacity.
Can anybody help me?
Regards
Rajesh

hi,
There is no perfect world. There is no perfect application. If I am permitted to say, there is no perfect CAPACITY PLANNING. In this world, we strive hard to achieve near PERFECTION
DISK SPACE ESTIMATED FOR THE DATABASE(RDBMS) ONLY
ESTIMATES ARE BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS, SAMPLING, STATISTICS
ESTIMATES CAN NOT QUANTIFY DISK SPACE REQUIREMENTS IN REAL TIME
ACTUALS ALWAYS VARY FROM ESTIMATES.
so ther is no particular formula to plan capacity planning.
or post your rquirements for the DB and wait for some reply

Transaction to maintina Billing Plan for Sales order item

Hi All,
Is there any transaction other than VA01/VA02 to maintian Billing plan for Sales order item.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajanidhi Rajasekeran.

It is possible to maintain Billing Plan in Sales Document Type (VOV8), as well as Item Category level (VOV7). As you want it at Item level, maintain the same in Item Category Configuration at Item level & it will by default be captured in Sales Order at Item level.
Step 1: Sales Document Type
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
Sales Document Header:
1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.
2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team.
3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.
Sales Document Item:
1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category

Bandwith Capacity Planning for 100 user SSL VPN Facility

What are things we should conisde while doing the bandwidth capacity planning for SSL VPN Facility for 100 users ?

Hi Surya,
This is not an easy question, since there are so many things to consider that I may miss some of them.
1- In case you are planning to use an ASA, check this to find the ideal throughput for you:
         Compare Models
2- What type of traffic? TCP or UDP?
     If TCP
          Make sure you avoid fragmentation, adjust the MSS value if necessary.
     If UDP
          If fragmentation must happen, then set the DF bit to clear to allow it.
3- Make sure the clients always negotiate DTLS (which is by default).
As mentioned in the document above:
"Maximum throughput measured under ideal test conditions.
VPN throughput and sessions count depend on the ASA device configuration and VPN traffic patterns. These elements should be taken into consideration as part of your capacity planning."
Thanks.
Portu.
Please rate any post you find useful.

Capacity Plan for Partially Confirmed Order

Hi Guys
Can any one please guide me on Capacity Planning (CM29) how to:
1. Plan to plan a partial order. Or in other terms: how to plan a part order in wk1 and rest in wk2
2. If the process order is partially confirmed, then how should supervisor re-schedule it again for later date!
3. Ideally what should be followed:
a. Schedule the Planned Order on CM29 and then Convert them to Process Order , OR
b. Convert the Planned Order and then Schedule the Process Order on the CM29 screen
Thanks in advance
-Rahul

Hi Mehdi,
Once order status is PCNF you cannot create lot with inspection type as 03. You need to reverse all the confirmations/Goods issue and activate 03 inspection type in material master, maintain MIC related data in routing and do Read Master data. Then system will create inspection lot.
For 03 inspection type manually inspection lot cannot be created. Once order is released inspection lot will be automatically created by system.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramagiri

Capacity Planning for all Sales Order Items

Sir,
A Sales Order have 4 different line items & need to produce on single work center.
In schedule line of sales order requirement dates are given priority wise.
After running the MRP I have observed that for all schedule lines, all planned ordered are starting on same date & time on the given capacity.
I need to level it manually.
Here I have few Question.
1) Can Capacities are Scheduled as per priority given in SO automatically.
2) Can revised availability dates will be reflected in SO.
3) Which reports will be useful for understanding consolidated availability date of material for given sales order/s.
