Creation of Order in DS Planning Board (/SAPAPO/CDPS0)

Hi all,
My requirement is i want to create order manually in DS planning board by passing product, location,resource,runlength etc.
Again i am using PPM to calculate the setup time (between previous order and the current order).
In order to get the PPM data, i am calling FM "/SAPAPO/DM_PPM_GET_PLAN" and here i pass planid to get the details.
To get planid, i call FM "/SAPAPO/SOS_FIND" i.e. to get source of supply information which includes planid
Please tell me
(1) what is planid ?
(2) How planid is this linked to PPM ?
(3) What do we mean by sources of supply? Can't we get the same info from pegid ?
(4) What is the structure of PPM ? I mean what are activities, components, alternative components etc.
Regards,
Deb

Hi Nandha / Vikas
Thanks for your input.
I am summerizing the whole concept, Please correct me and answer my questions in between :-
In order to create an order in DS Planning board manually, we need information like product,location,resource,quantity etc. (User's input).
Then we should follow the steps as follows -:
Step 1 :- Find Sources of Supply
Since this gives information like how we are going to produce or procure the product. It can be PPM or PDS or Transportation lane.
For PPM we will get the Plan id (Unique ID for PPM) and then we will get the details of PPM accordingly.
But, Please mention what about PDS and Transportation lane ?
I mean from source of supply how can we know that the product can be produced or procured by PPM or PDS or Transportation lane ? Any field indicator is there for PPM or PDS or Transportation lane? Because in my requirement, First i need to check which one is active for the entered product:- PPM or PDS.
(2) Once we know that the source of supply is PPM or PDS or transaportation lane, then we will call different FMs to get the details.
For PPM we know how to proceed. I mean using planid we can get the details.
But for PDS and Transaportation lane please mention the FM name and i/p parameters to get the details like setup group id, production rate etc.
Thnaks once again for your valuable inputs.

  • ATD Check Issue in creation TLB Order Manually in Planning Book.

    Hi ,
    I am facing issue in ATD Check in TLB Interactive Planning while creating TLB Order Manually.
    Here goes scenario.
    I am creating TLB Order Manually in TLB Planning Book with below Information.
      Demand Date u2013 02.01.2012 ( Todayu2019s date ) & Qty u2013 20
    Considering Lead Time of 10 Days to supply from Plant to Depot, Delivery Date in Purchase Order is calculated as 12.01.2012
    Now I do outbound delivery for this PO in ECC. As client is not using Routes Transit Times functionalities, Planned Goods Issue Date for Outbound Delivery in ECC is calculated as Delivery Date from PO which is 12.01.2012 minus Transit Time in Route which is maintained as 0. Hence Planned Goods Issue Date in ECC is 12.01.2012.
    This is same as Requirement Date for Outbound Delivery. PGI for this delivery is yet to happen. When PGI is done then issue is resolved.
    When this Delivery goes in APO, it has requirement date as 12.01.2012 and now when I create TLB Order in Interactive Planning Book manually it allows me to create TLB Order of 20 qty extra before populating below message
    u201CThere is only an ATD quantity of XXX available for product GHECP02u201D
    In short it allows me to create 20 extra PO as Outbound Delivery is shifted to future bucketu2019s and  hence is not counted in ATD Issues.
    I am using Daily Bucket Profile in TLB Planning Book.
    If I use Monthly Bucket Profile my issue is solved but again when client is creating TLB Order , by default system picks first date of bucket which client does not want.
    Is there any way where in I can avoid this excess PO Creation. When it checks ATD Availability it should consider these outbound deliveries which are of future dates.
    Regards,
    Sameer

    Hi Sameer,
    Such kind of issues would come when  master data/transaction data in APO and R/3 are not in sync.
    You could go in for some custom development for TLB orders, but it's like opening a pandora's box as you are messing with teh standard working of system. It could create data inconsistencies between APO and R/3 and I would not really advise this. It's best to maintain all the relevant master data/transaction between APO and R/3 in sync.
    Better ask your client to maintain the relevant routes as required. Otherwise they should create PO directly in R/3 as required.
    Thanks - Pawan

  • Order Reexplosion thru Planning Board - System Dump

    Hi ,
    I have been facing the following problem :
    APO - PPDS.
    1)Orders on the APO screen are instantly consuming material requirements. 
    2)When the order is re-exploded, it cleans up and then happens again after the save.
    Also, If 2 orders are completed in the same duration, we are getting kicked out of the system.
    Can any one give any insights in to this?
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,

    SAPPM,
       This is probably because, the strategy profile that you are using does not have "Finite scheduling" selected. Click on the "str ategy" push button on the application tool bar and make sure that the "Finite Scheduling" check box is selected. After this try dispatching the Order operation to a workcenter and if there isn't sufficient capacity available, Dispatching will not be carried out and error messages will be raised indicating the same.
    If you want this setting to be permanent and defaulted, then you could either copy the strategy profile to a custom profile with just this modification and then assign this profile to the new overall profile(You would need to assign this profile to the PID on your user master) or you could change the standard strategy profile(Not advisable).
    Hope it helps.

  • DS Planning Board Object Color Change according to Order Type etc.

    Hi,
    I want to differatiate the colors of the objects on the resource,
    according to their certain propertis, for example order type,
    But if they have the same status the sytem marks them on the same
    color,
    I went into the customizing for the BOARD Profile and color adjustments
    but there are only certain criteria and I could not decide
    which object type to which color,
    Does anyone know anything about it?
    Mehmet

    Setting up the colour or Order (or actually Operations) can be quite a challenge.
    Sugest you use the SAP standard, copy it and then change suitably.
    Follow this in SPRO >> APO >> Supply Chain Planning >> PPDS >> DS Planning Board >> Maintain Planning Board Profiles
    Here select the appropriate planning board profile, click on Chart. Select appropriate chart - like Operations chart will be a good choice.
    Then double-click on the Decision Table for Graphical Objects, check the last mentioned Decision Group and Decisions.
    That will have reference to Grpahical Object Id.
    Pick up the Graphical Object ID and then double click Grpahical Elements from the left pane. Enter the Graphical Object Id (Planning Board Profile is already chosen).
    Select the grpahical elements and click on the Detail button to see the Display Colour.
    So if you need to change the Operations based on Order Type like Fixed, Deallocated, Created etc. then change the colour of the graphical object here.

  • Rescheduling the order in planning board

    The error is "Activity is outside the planning period" and the detail Log contians 'reschedule activity 180501 0010 0015 S, which is outside the planning period'
    (I found that the order valid to order is 04.10.2010 for this perticuler order if this is the reson then how this field is getting updated?)

    Hi,
    Check in the initial screen of the access to DS Planning board the planning start and planning end period defined.
    You are doing a rescheduling activity which is out side the planning end period.
    In the strategy profile you can define that in case of scheduling error termination can happen .

  • Shipping Doucment creation on ETM Planning Board ..

    Hello Everybody
    I m planning machine hours of ETM equipment in my project (PS). I have done all the necessary settings required and are getting requirement generated automatically in ETM planning board without making requisition note. Planning board is also letting me assign PS requirement to ETM equipment but is not allowing me to create shipping document from planning board. When i press SHIPPING button on planning baord, message appears that " NO RECIPIENT COULD BE DETERMINED" !
    Recipient and sender are mentioned in requisition note which i have avoided as i have generated requirement from my PS Project. Can anyone advise if i have to create requisition note for the requirement generated from PS Project as well or i could enter recipient in PS project as well?
    Regards,
    Kashif

    Hello Everyone Again
    I have found answer myself.
    Recipient of ETM Requirement generated from PS Project has to be created through VD01 (Create Customer) with Project Definition as recipient type.
    This recipient type allows certain project definition to be entered in customer master data which becomes the recipient while making shipment document of equipments.

  • MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) - Show operation status in Planning Board

    Because the current MRS thread is some long and complicated I chose to move this question into a seperate thread:
    Initial question:
    Like many companies, it is not unusual at my customer for their Planners to create orders with multiple operations, particularly since many orders require different crafts to perform the work. When the Planning Board is launched and Planners lok at work scheduled for the past week they want to be able to see at a glance which operations have been completed and which operations, perhaps from the same order, have not and may need to be rescheduled. Their preference is to select "final confirmation" when using transaction IW41 and thereby set the operation system status to CNF when the work on an operation has been completed. They then want to somehow use this CNF operation status to drive something visual in the graphical Demand layout display and Resource layout display to enable the Planner to see at a glance that the operation has been completed. I've tried several approaches with configuration of abstract statuses and the user interface profile without success. My customer's interest in being able to see the completion status of an operation in the MRS Planning Board makes a lot of sense to me. I'm hoping someone can help me with a technique for modifying the Planning Board so that it displays the completion status of an operation in a visual way.
    Response from Varun Verma:
    Hi Mark,
    The problem at your customers end is nothing new.
    What you can do ( many other customers have done it in similar way ) is:
    1) you integrate the status CNF into MRS.
    Check the customizing: Basic Settings -> Assign ERP Objects -> Status
    2) configure in MRS that for status CNF, the assignments and demands (only in item work list or Hotlist) is colored to GREEN (or any other color)
    Check customizing: Set Up Scheduler Workplace -> Workplace Profiles -> Define User Interface Profiles
    Thus the users will know visually, that the green colored assignments are already completed.
    By the way, in your work list you can also filter the demands based on their status
    Regards
    Varun.
    Followup question:
    Varun,
    Thanks for the response.  I thought I had tried this but perhaps it's because in the UI profile I had not entered something in both the status groups for assignments and the status groups for demands.  I have a bit more testing to do but it appears that the demand status now gets updated from the operation status of PCNF (linked to abstract status WORK_START) and CNF (linked to abstract status WORK_STOP).  I also get a red bar (C4) for PCNF and a green bar (C1) for CNF.  Do you have a better status group I should be using in place of C1 and C4?  Status groups C1 and C4 give me a bar but it doesn't look like the demand bar with a outline and alphanumeric description of the demand, it's just a colored bar.
    I know the work list can be filtered based on their MRS "planning" status, however, it doesn't appear to permit filtering by the status of the operation unless I add the operation status as an additional field in the worklist.  Is there something I'm missing here?  And even if it did, my customer wants to be able to see the CNF status indication in the Demand layout and schedule using the work centers so the worklist is not being shown like it is in the Resource layout.
    Mark
    Edited by: Mark Scott on Aug 10, 2009 3:35 PM

    Hi Mark,
    Well I assumed that you have confirmations integration active !! But I guess not because you say that the status is not integrated always.
    What you need to do:
    1) I assume you have SP05 or later.
    2) Implement the user exit: CONFPM05. In the implementation of this exit you need to call FM: /MRSS/RSG_PM_ORDER_CONFIRM
    3) Go to customizing: Basic Settings --> Assign ERP Objects --> Status
      -- Here, define an abstract status (MRS Status) for confirmed and partially confirmed
      -- map it to R3 status CNF and PCNF.
    After this, whenever you enter confirmation for PM order from transaction IW41, the status will be integrated.
    Now you can use the MRS statuses defined in step 3 to configure the colors.
    Implementing the user exit CONFPM05 might require some technical input. But it is easy. Just a few double clicks and copy paste.
    Contact an ABAP developer for the same.
    This should solve your issue.

  • Follow up to MRSS planning board how to populate

    Thanks for teh reply Varun. It was correct as I did not knwo that the create/save populate teh planning board data via the BADi.
    However 3 of the 4 added fields TPLNR, ABCKZ,  and ILARTa re being populated in the Order Change (IW32) transaction but the field called Remaining Work field OFMNW_2 is not. It is generally calculated when teh actual work in teh IW41 confirmation is changed to less than planned. I.E. if the planned work was 8 and the operator puts 4 in actual work, then the IW41 screen shows remeaining work field filled in with the difference (4).
    How can I populate this field via the BADi implementation PUSH_TO_MRS method.  I tried to link the user exit for confirmation save (Enhancement CONFPM05, user exit EXIT_SAPLCORF_005 INCLUDE ZXCOFU05) to then invoke the instance of the class method call in the user exit after saving the remaing work field in an EXPORT to MEMORY ID:

    Hi Stephen...
    I think you are going wrong...
    From you post I understand that:
    1) You have implemented the user exit EXIT_SAPLCORF_005.
    Note: This is called when you enter the confirmation in IW41.
    2) Your understanding here is right that you need to integrate this information into MRS and you can do it from the above user exit.
    3) But you are wrong -- if you call the BADI here.
    Note: BADI methods will not work if you call them arbitrarily anywhere !! They work only when called in a specified program flow.
    The given BADI is called during the forward integration -- meaning when the order is saved. After the BADI is called MRS save is called and the data is saved in MRS.
    Calling the BADI method alone has not effect.
    I suggest that you read more information about BADIs and User Exits.
    Regards
    Varun.

    I have found that the 2nd text field (USR08) must be added as the last step (#6).  When I had it as #1, the planning board did not display the USR08 value.
    Now both are displayed in the Gantt chart graphic.  However, it is difficult to see this long string of data as the bars in the Gantt chart may not be long enough to display the data. 
    Therefore we would like to use the "hover over" text which is displayed in the status line at the bottom of the screen.  We have tried using both the Info Text and the Quick Info options within the Bar Chart: Options Profile (OPG0).  Only the first text (the material descirption) is dislayed within either the Quick Info or the Info Text.
    Is it possible to have multiple object values appear in Quick Info or Info Text?  Or is it possible to control which text is displayed in the Quick Info or Info Text?
    Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated, as this is a make-or-break issue for the business to use the planning board.  Thank you!

    I'm also looking for a standard customizing alternative to do the same thing.
    Still, if you're interested, I've already done it successfully with user exit PLAT0001.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards.

  • CM25 planning board

    Dear experts,
    I have been working on the CM25 graphic planning board. So far I have not been able to show if a production order is scheduled to be finished in time.
    Do you know if it is possible to show this somehow?
    I am thinking in two directions:
    1) The planning and scheduling log gives a warning message if the "scheduled finish date" differs from the "basic finish date" (also when it is produced too early). Can I change the settings of the scheduling and planning log?
    2) I know how to link different colors in the planning board depending on a user status. Is it possible to determine a status which compares the "scheduled finish date" and "basic finish date"?
    Are there any other solutions?
    Will definitely reward points!!!
    Regards,
    Tim

    Dear Rachael,
    One thing I learned is that CM25 is full of surprises. In the end I did manage to compare the "basic date" and "scheduled date" and assign different colors to them. Our customer requirements are converted via MRP which calculates the basic dates of our planned orders. As long as the basic dates are correct, the colors of the planning board will indicate if an order is still on time or not.
    The problem is that if a planned order is firmed or if a production order is created the basic dates will no longer change even if the customer requirements change...
    It turns out that we will be able to use this solution for our client, but I did not find a real solution to compare production with the customer requirements.
    If you need more info, please come back.
    Regards,
    Tim

  • DEtailed scheduling planning board - scalling of objects in the charts

    Hi,
    I am wandering if there is a possibility of changing the scale in the graphical planning board in APO PPDS, eg. in the resource chart. in the way that I could change the scale just for a certain period of time or one object.
    for example:
    the planning period choosen is 10.09.14 to 01.10.14., scale unit is hour, but the duration of some orders or operations is less than a minute. Woud it be possible to somehow change the scale just for 1 day or 1 hour within the shown period? zooming in does not help as then I cannot see the other lines that I need to look at when scheduling that specific order or operation.
    thank's for any helpful hint!
    br,
    Wojtek

    Hi Mike,
    thank you for responding to my query.
    I know the functionality with the right-click. this unfortunately does not help as the whole time frame is stretched-out => they cannot seen some objects, while the planners would like to strech-out only part of the shown period.
    I also checked the possibility of changing the scale down to seconds cause some operations have a duration of less than a minute (timescale editor = double left-click on the scale). But the production is still unhappy. They have seen in some software such a possibility and wish the same in the graphical planning board. they want to see just part of the time frame in another scale so that the objects outside the scale remain in the same time unit but the objects within the considered time frame would be displayed in another time unit.
    In the resource chart if you right-click an operation you can select the option shrink/stretch operation => I am not sure if there is sth wrong with my connection but most of the time when I click this option nothing happens. Just a couple of times while clicking on the same operation I manged to get a pop up "change operation duration" where you can define in % the new duration. but have to choose a new duration between "min and max duration" that are in this pop up zero => so I cannot change anything and have no clue where this zeros for min and max come from and in the end if that might solve my problem.

  • MRS: PRT Tool Resource does not appear in Planning Board

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to perform tool assignment but somehow the tool resource does not appear in the planning board.  I have the following set up:
    - Tool created as both material and Equipment (category P)
    - Equipment assigned to work center linked to Org Unit
    - Order with operations created with PRT assigned
    What I am seeing in the planning board:
    - I can see the operation with the linked PRT
    - I can see the HR resource under the same work center Org Unit
    - However, I cannot see the Tool resource.
    Am I missing somethng here?  Any kind of pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Jk

    Thank you for your response, Varun.
    I do have the equipment work center set to be the same as the operation work center.  Also, when I try to add the PRT manually in the planning board, I get 2 error messages:
    "Resource  is not available"
    "Selected equipment 0 is invalid"
    Have you encountered this before?
    Thank and Regards,

  • MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) - Manager Planning Board

    My understanding of the MRS Manager Planning Board is that it will only display those orders that have operations that have been assigned to a resource.  If true, this would mean that the Manager Planning Board would be of little value to an organzation that is only using MRS to schedule to a work center because there would be no demand that had been assigned to a resource.  It would only start to be of some value once the organization began to assign demands to resources.  Is this correct? Or, do you see other value in the Manager Planning Board for an organization that is only scheduling to a work center?
    I've also found that when I run the Manager Planning Board that the resources are displayed, however, I have to hit "refresh" in the Planning Board to get the orders/operations (demand) to display.

    Hi Mark,
    As you already figured out correctly that the Manager planning board displays the resources (in display mode). It displays all the information about the resource: Its availability and assignments. since assignments are displayed, obviously the (related) demands are also displayed.
    If the fine grained planning ( planning at resource level ) does not happen, then obviously it does not make sense to use the manager planning board transaction.
    PS: As the name suggests this transaction is for managers who are not authorized to change anything but only for display. So they will see the resource availability and assignments in this transaction.
    Regards
