Container resource u0096 usage and capacity

Hi,
For a chemical company I have the following situation: A bulk (intermediate product) is blended/produced in a tank. Then this bulk will be filled into different possible packaging. Therefore the tank will only be empty, when the last quantity is filled into one of these possible packaging. And a new production of a bulk can only begin, when the tank is empty. (An order for producing and one or some orders for filling will be used).
My idea was now to use container resources for these tanks. My aim would be, that if the tank is not empty, there is no capacity. That would mean, that any stock “uses” or blocks available capacity of the tank. First test showed that this is not the case.
Therefore: What is the final usage of a container resource – what is your experience? Can I somehow block the resource until it is emptied by the filling orders (which would use only the filling machines as resources)? What do I have to maintain to receive this result (already done: container resource and product flow in SCM 5.0)?
Thanks a lot
Guido

Hi,
I made the experience that the level of stock does not influence the available (time-)capacity.  In my point of view, the storage functionality is mainly for alert creation and handling.  There is also a heuristic for storage resources, but I don't have experience in using this heuristic.
Thanks
Guido

  • IPhone 5 Mail usage and capacity on iOS 7.1.

    How does it happen that I have 127MB of mail and attachments in the usage overview on my iPhone 5 Mail when everything is empty? Nothing is there, complete blank of attachments, drafts, e-mails, sent messages, contacts and so on. I can't believe that the Mail app in itself has the size of as much of 127MB, or does anyone know if this is true or not and to help me to solve it?

  • Firefox plugin container high cpu usage and crashing

    All three of my family's computers have been experiencing problems with the firefox plugin container.  The container spikes the CPU for long, long, periods of time slowing overall performance noticably.
    The only way to address the problem is to kill the Firefox plugin container.
    When I kill the plugin container it kills Adobe Flash.  This also occurs with Google Chrome and IE (problem and fix).
    This leads me to beleive Flash is the problem.
    I've tried clearing the flash cache from the Adobe troubleshooting site, deleting all cache applications, and changing settings.
    Nothing seems to work.
    IS ADOBE FLASH BROKEN?  If not how can I troubleshoot this problem? My family plays Farmville which is always hanging and can only be fixed by restarting the computer. Okay, maybe farmville is a bad app.
    However, I had the same problem when I went to Adobe.Com to try ans find a solution to this problem.  The flash application spikde the CPU and the fix was to kill flash.
    I'm not without skills - I could use some direction on how to troubleshoot flash?
    Suggestions?
    Regards,
    Dale

    Thanks.
    Since I know absolutley nothing about flash that was very helpful.

  • Oracle R12 Eam - Define Resource USAGE AND ASSIGNED UNITS

    Hi
    Can anyone define
    what is the difference between usage and assigned units in oracle r12 eam defining resource operation

    You're wrong - you may not think it changes the line, but it does by virtue of the fact it's pointing to half the value it was before. Good luck - I'll pass on trying to help you. I'm sure it's an easy fix.

    kind of questions can I ask about them? I want to gather as much requirement as possible from client.
    Some of the question I can think of are:
    1. What fields will be there in each register?
    2. What kind of permission do you want on each register? For e.g. will each register will be publicly viewable to all users or not?

  • How to assign container resource to routing

    Hi,
    We have three container resources representing 3 storage tanks with capacity in kilograms. I am not able to assign the storage resources to routing. We are using discrete routing.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Hi andrew3,
    Container resource functionality is available only in PP-PI manufacturing and not in Discrete manufacturing, because of which you are not able to assign this resources in routings

  • Where are PS Availability and Capacity values stored?

    Hi - I am running the Assignment Work by Resource report in Project Server; which returns a histogram and details table. The table contains AssignmentWork allocated to a Resource by month. In the MSP reporting database where can I find the Availability
    and Capacity values?

    My mistake overlooked the reporting DB views wherein within MSP_EPMResourceByDay_Userview has the column capacity available which in turn would give you the capacity "How much work the resource can do, for example hours per day" but then there are lot of
    things to consider for eg. proposed vs commited, max units etc...
    here is one such example already available on technet
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/projectserver/Server-2010-SQL-Get-5842010f
    should be a good starting point

    On iTunes when i plug my iphone in, the bar at the bottom with contains the information about the capacity of my iphone, it has a bar called 'other' which has 4GB. I don't know what is taking up that space or how to get rid of it. please help

    You can reduce the size to normal, which is about 1GB, by restoring the phone.
    Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software
    The size of this part can increase when something goes wrong during a sync, or some files can't be read anymore by iTunes.

  • Resource related billing and service quotation

    Dear gurus,
    can anyone explain the process of resource related billing and service quotation in step by step.
    if possible mail me the screen shots also in this email-id
    [email protected]

    hi,
    Maintaining Profiles for Sales Order and Billing Request
    Use
    The Dynamic Item Processor (DIP) profile defines and controls resource-related quotation and billing for service orders and sales documents. It may be maintained in either the Customer Service or the Sales and Distribution section of the IMG. The DIP profile allows flexible determination and translation of actual labor, material and other costs into sales materials for appropriate pricing and billing.
    DIP profiles BC10 is used exclusively in the value chain for time and material project.
    Integration
    The DIP profile functionality is closely integrated with the controlling module for the processing of cost objects into sales materials.
    Prerequisites
    Relevant sales document types, condition records, sales materials have been created.
    Procedure
    Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
    IMG Menu Project System ® Revenues and Earnings ® Integration with SD documents ® Creating Quotations and Project Billing ® Maintain Profiles for Quotations and Billing
    Transaction Code ODP12.
    Activities:•
    In the configuration item Profiles for Sales Order, Billing, Results Analysis, choose profiles BC12.
    • The DIP profile can be used for processing resource-related billing and results analysis, as well as for generating resource-related quotations. To do so, sales document types must be defined for each usage. Access the Usage section of the profile and maintain the following entries:
    DI Usage SD Ty BC12
    1 Billing & Results Analysis Z2TC
    all other fields leave blank
    • Access the characteristics section of each profile. The characteristics are the objects which the system will take into consideration when processing and displaying resource-related billing. For both billing and order usages, set the characteristics as follows (note that other settings are automatically defaulted in by the system):
    Characteristic Charact
    Relevant Material Determ NoSummarizat. Structuring Sequence
    Z2TC
    Accounting Indicator X
    Activity Type X X X
    Object number X
    Period X
    Transaction Currency X X
    Unit of Measure X X
    all other fields leave blank
    • The sources section determines what type of costs will be selected by the DIP profile for each usage. More detailed selection criteria are available, but not maintained in this setting. Access the sources section of each profile and maintain the following entries:
    Line Source Percentage
    1 0001 Actual Cost - Line 100
    • Access the material determination and criteria sections of the profile. Material determination defines the sales materials that costs will be converted into. The criteria defines cost element groups (cost elements are determined from the labor activity type or the component account assignment) that correspond to each material. For both billing and quotation usages, define material determination as follows:
    Material/Service Material Determination:
    Transfer Quantity/Costs Material Determination:
    Conversion Quantity Criteria:
    Activity Type
    Z2TC
    I00342 X (Transfer Cost & Qty) Checked
    I00984 X Checked
    all other fields leave blank
    • To confirm that all entries and settings in the DIP profiles are consistent, go to the configuration item check profile settings. Enter the DIP profile and execute. Green traffic lights should be displayed next to all items for both usages. Otherwise, determine the inconsistency and make the necessary correction.
    Go through t.code DP90
    1.U will get "resource related billing request initial screen.
    2.U enter ur "Srevice order", then select "Expences" button.
    3.u get " Billing request for resource related billing document" Here the columns for "Open amt" and "Amt. to billed" equal the transactions that have posted to the project and have not been billed. To continue, press the "Billing request " button. The system will ask you if you really want to do this -- say "yes"
    Then u will get the overview screen.
    Link service order to a quotation thru transaction DP90. The quotation will be created with reference to the service order. The business scenario is that you are creating a quotation for the job to be done. The line items in the quotation are based on resources and materials planned in service order.

  • Import an excel file which contain resource data to P6

    Hii,
    I had a problem of importing an excel file into p6 which contain resource data to p6.
    I used the import option which is present in file-import i followed the instruction and at last while clicking the finish tab its showing the import was successful.
    But in the resource it is emplty unable to display a single resource.
    plz help me or is there any other procedure for it plz let me know.
    Best regards
    Himansu

    As the previous poster stated, you need to export using resource assignments not activities. The only changes that P6 will accept will be to information about activities (Description, duration, etc) if you choose activities. Choosing Resources will allow changes to information with resources and resources asignments will allow changes to information pertaining to the interaction of the activities and resources.

  • Bandwidth and capacity management tool

    I am looking for a good tool what is capable to handle the invetorying of various circtuits with details like capacity/ckt id and other details as well - of course these needs to be added manually. And also it can handle the capacity management as well like if we have a 10M line and we give for example 2M for some purpose I want to reserve it and register the user details for what it is reserved and so on. So basically a tool possible web based tool what I can use for this kind of inventorying and capacity mgmt, xls is not working since we have couple hundreds connections.
    Thanks.

    Thanks, but I guess you misunderstood my request or I didn't explain it properly. Yes, for monitoring we already use Cacti thsi works fine. But at this time I am rather looking for tool which is designed for documentation purpose. So there is a 10M connection (MPLS, Internet or any) I want to register as many details about the line as possible like ckt id, location, NOC contact... Furthermore capacity management part is needed so what is reserved and for what. So if there is a request that 2M BW is required for some backup jobs I can register it in the tool and can add the details of the requester and purpose of the request. Also if I want to do some oversubscription (reservation) it needs to alert me. In this case I will have a good tool where all the ckt are there and also I will have information about the BW reservation. For a few ckt these details easyly can administered in an xls, but we have hundreds of ckt and they are managed by multiple people as well over the globe. So I really prefer a web based tool for it. I know it can be developed, but it takes time and resource, so I am looking for a ready to use tool - if there is any - no idea how other folks do it...

  • Is there a documented correlation between high CPU/RAM usage and poor system performance?

    I realize this subject is not black and white and has quite a bit of depth to it as high usage of either the CPU or RAM does not necessarily mean that a computer is running slowly.
    However, is there any documentation, scientific research or academic journal that makes a correlation between poor system performance and the consumption of system resources.
    It goes without saying that if you use all your RAM then there won't be any available for additional programs, but can this be substantiated with metrical data?
