CTM can consider parallel sequence?

Hello experts,
My customer consider to use CTM with parallel sequence.
REgarding that, I found a SAP note 1177608. It describes as below
u201CDuring the CTM-PDS transfer, the system creates the relationships of the parallel sequence of a routing, even though the parallel sequence is not supported by CTMu201D
By the note, parallel sequence can be created, but parallel sequence is not supported by CTM engine.
Is there any work around for achieving it?
Kind regards,
Seongsik

Hello,
I went through this and checked with development team.
CTM really do not consider parallel sequence and It currently is not planned to support parallel activities
on CTM for future releases.
Regarding workaround, I do not know any as well.
Regards,
Michel Bohn

  • Can LabVIEW global variables be shared between UUT sequence steps in the parallel sequence model?

    Sorry for this simple question,  I'm having a hard time finding this answer.
    If I launch a sequence to run on two UUTs in the parallel sequence module,   can I get both UUTs to run LabVIEW vis that use global variables such that :
    1) UUT 0  executes 20 LabVIEW Vi  steps asynchronously,  5 of which access data from LabVIEW global variables A, B, C (Strings)
    2) UUT 0 executes the same 20 LabVIEW based steps asynchronously  5 of which access data from then same LabVIEW global variables A, B, C (Strings)
    I am a little worried that using file globals may have some delays or more of a race condition than using native LabVIEW global variables like in a single labview application perform.  
    QUESTION 2:  Are file globals actually written to the hard drive and shared between parallel sequences through file transfer?  OR  are they in memory?

    Hi bdwhaley,
    Are your parallel sequences only reading from the global variable? Or are they writing to the variable as well? If it is just reading, then you should be okay. File globals are read from memory. Every time they are read, a copy of the data is made in memory.

  • Parallel Sequencing of Production between different resources

    Hi all,
    I want to consider the way to produce a product in parallel with other resources if available and cost efficient. ( Parallel sequencing of the production between resources)
    I have setup groups for products. Also resources (machines)
    every machine can do the same job (in different times)
    According to setup optimization it may be useful to produce all in one resource but if I need to catch the requirement date, I have to parallelize the work.
    Is there any way in SCM like (parallel sequencing in R/3) that takes us to a more feasible solution?

    Hi Mehmet,
    In R/3, in the operation of routing, we can give "split" number .  It can split one operation into several splits during scheduling or capacity leveling so that total execution time will be reduced accordingly.
    But when you transfer such operation with split number, the activity duration will be automatically calculated by using machine time divided by split number.
    However in PPDS, there is split function. I'm not sure if it is what you want.

  • How to use parallel sequence for split the operation qty. urgent or other o

    PP guru
    My scenario is as follows.
    I ve one material suppose…xyz.
    For that material I' ve created bom, routing.
    In routing I' ve mention only one operation. 0010.
    Now I' ve the production order of 1000 kg.
    I want to use two work centers to run this production order. ( e.g.work center a and b)
    In routing I used work center a.
    In short I want split that operation.
    So what I ve to do or use parallel sequence and how???
    or else is there any other option to split the order to two or more machines/work center?
    Pls explain me in brief.
    Regards,
    Ram

    Hi,
      If you want to carry the production with two different work centers , first you need to split the operation qty.
    For this in the order type dependent parameters OPL8
    in the controlling tab page enable the indicator Cost collector
    and set the default rule as PP2.
      Create a Product cost collector with KKF6N.
       Now in the production order , select the operation and choose functions--->>> split.
       Now enter the operation split quantity and execute.
       Now in MD04 you can see two production order.
       In the second production order change the work center in the operation overview as desired and save.

  • How to use parallel sequence in capacity planning.

    How we can use parallel seq in capacity planning?we have two machines which can be run parallel for production ,now how  to distribute capacity load? suppose for the production of 100 km,we required 1000 min when it is produced through only one machine.Now if 2 machines are used simultaneously we required 500 min.How to see this in capacity planning?

    Dear,
    For calculating Available capacity you have options like minimum capacity, normal capacity and maximum capacity. You can select this option in work center-capacity tab for individual capacity category.
    With parallel sequence and with both machines you can select maximum capacity option and plan your capacity.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • How do you get a station global or any variable to be read across UUTs executing in the parallel Sequence model?

    Dear  Support,
    I have two questions regarding the parallel sequence model:
    I am trying to find a global variable or any variable that can be universally read from any thread / step .   For instance:
    - Parallel sequence Model
    - 2 UUTs
    - The main sequence has 20  steps
    - I am looking for a variable that can be read universally across both UUTs in any step.  I have tried many, even the station global variable - as a Boolean - for "Abort" .  But that did not work either.
    Question TWO:   How can I bring out this universal variable to the UI ?  Can you point me to an example?    Do I use the "Lookup"  ,.  I could not get that to work.  Can I use the "Label"  ?  I could not get that to work neither.
    Thanks! Brad

  • Production Order not printing with Parallel Sequence ?

    Hi All,
    User is unable to print Prod. Orders when Parallel Sequence is used, but Orders using Standard Sequence are printing fine.
    Print is done in Update Task, so User is able to release the Order and when he saves the Order, the Order should get printed.
    Currently this is not happening. There is no spool generated.
    Can anyone please tell me the printer configuration required for this. Or any other configuration which we are missing.
    Thanks,
    Bhuvan

    Dear Bhuvan,
    I'm not sure if this is the issue,at a high level,check if the control key assigned to the operations in the
    parallel sequence supports for Printing in General(check box set).

  • Parallel sequence - scheduling operation

    Hi,
    when I was creating parallel sequence in routing I was faced with problem in scheduling operation.
    After making a routing with parallel sequence, which are executing on the others work centers, system doesn't take into consideration the fact that order is divided on for example two work centers ( parallel sequence ! ).
    How to divide the time of operations for equal parts ( or different proportion ) in two work centers.
    Please help me solvede this problem.
    Artur

    Artur,
    The logic of parallel sequence is bit different from what you expect.
    The parallel sequence is the sequence of operations which runs parellel to main sequnce.
    But you can use it to serve your purpose.
    After creating the parallel sequence in the routing, select the standard sequence, click on operation.
    In operations overview, select the desired operations & follow path, 'Details'-- 'operations' or press F6.
    In the operation details screen, under 'Unit of measure conversion', maintain value against 'Header' as 1 & against 'Operation' as 0.5 (if you want to divide the value equally).
    Navigate with the arrows in the upper left & maintain these settings for the desired operation.
    Now click on 'Sequnces'.
    Select the parallel sequnce & repeat the above given procedure for the desired operations in the parallel sequences aslo.
    Now whenever the order will be created, the order quantity will be divided equally on the sequences & accordingly scheduling will yake place.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Parallel sequence-Process Industry

    Hi All,
    Following is the scenario req in SAP
    Stage-1: Crude prep- (Done in 10 reactors, R1, R2,R3......R10)-Parallel sequence
    Stage-2  Pure prep- Done in single Reactor (P1)
    Stage-3  Storage-(4 silos)
    Stage-4 Packing
    How to address this in Master recipe
    Regards
    Subbu

    Hi,
    Same Crude is manufactured in all the 10 reactors in the first stage
    Raw material input would be given to the each crude reactor & it is simultaneous & output from the all crude reactor is mixed (Not measurable for each reactor wise ) in a single conveyor line to the next pure stage.
    If you consider the crude reaction-10 hrs, since the 10 reactors are parallel, it should consider only 10 hrs for the entire operation.
    They also need to analyze the resource wise activity entry details.
    when I make 10 crude reaction as a each phase, it should calculate only the 10 hrs & not 100 hrs.
    Regards

  • Parallel Sequence Routing using RCPTRA01

    Hi all,
           I've a requirement where i need to Upload Parallel Sequence Routing .  I'm using RCPTRA01 for  created Standard Sequence Routing . Can anyone help me how to Upload Parallel Sequence Routing  using RCPTRA01.

    Two ways.
    1.  Use the parallel sequences you have created and apply 1/2 the time required to process a part to each operation.
    2.  Use a single sequence and create the first operation with 1/2 the time and a second operation immediately following with overlapping and zero offset time.

  • Extracting return operation from a parallel sequence in a routing.

    Hi all
    I need to extract data on some existing parallel sequences in routings from R3. One of the fields i need is the return operation for each parallel sequence.
    I was hoping the data would be in PLFL which contains most of the sequence information I need. But alas it doesn't have the return operation.
    Checking with F1 and the tech button shows me that the field i want is PLFLD-VORNR2. But PLFLD is a structure that I can't get to.
    Does anyone know how to extract this info from the system?
    Regards
    Simon Pedersen

    Hi Simon,
    The field that you're looking for is PLFL-BKNT2 (for the return operation). Pay attention that in this field there's a number that is representing the operation node number, not the number that you see in the routing screen.

  • Multiple instances of TS Engine or parallell sequences

    Is it really possible to start two or more instances of TS Engine from lets say C# ?
    Or are the way of parallell sequences in TS instead a better way to proceed?
    In that case, I presume that it's possible to communicate with each sequence separately.
    Does anybody have a small sample of that?

    TestStand will only create one instance of the Engine per process.  If you attempt to create more than one Engine, it will return a reference to teh same one.  If you want to run sequences in parallel, you can do this with one Engine.  You may want to look at the Simple C# Operator Interface to get started.  It is located in the <TestStand>/OperatorInterfaces/NI/Simple/CSharp directory.

  • Difference between parallel sequence and parallel operation in a routing.

    Hi Experts,
    Can any one explain me with example the difference between parallel sequence and parallel operation in a routing? wHEN CAN WE USE PARALLEL OPEARTION AND PARALLEL SEQUNCE WITH COMPONENT ALLOCATION.
    Regards
    Deepak sharma

    I think u need to modify ur quest... i think u r asking about Parallel sequence and alternate seq. Below are the details from SAP site.
    A parallel sequence enables you to process several operations at the same time.
    You use an alternative sequence for example, if
    --The production flow is different for certain lot-size ranges
    For instance you can machine a work piece on conventional machine or on NC machines. A NC machine has a longer set-up time than a conventional machine. However the machining costs are considerably less. Therefore whether you use NC machines will depend on the lot size.
    ---The production flow changes under certain business conditions.
    For instance, if you have a capacity problem, you have some production steps performed externally by a vendor.

  • Confirmation of parallel sequence operation.

    Hello friends,
    I want to do confirmation of parallel sequence operation. I use 3 or5 work centers  at a time for doing one operation. So i have defined parallel sequences for standard sequence. When I do confirmation of quantity and activity time in CO11N for one parallel sequence, other sequence quantity and activity time should be decreased. But system takes actual  quantity and time.
    How to make settings , so that  quantity and activity values should be decreased automatically for next parallel sequence.
    Waiting for Reply!

    Dear ,
    You are not able get the paralle sequence operation in CO11N because production order will copy the Routing based on the Order Type dependent paramter-OPL8-Routing  set up.
    Here , basically , you might have chkeced Alternative Sequence  and Sequence Exchange field (0)  , so while creation production order , routing with operation which are in alternative sequnce will be copied  and will be used in CO11N confirmation.
    2.You need to maintain "Operation Sequence is not checked " for operation sequence for the Ordertype/Plant combination in confirmation parameters using transaction OPK4.-Confirmation parameters of Order
    Try and revert back

  • Can't name Sequences or Clips - Seem to be in constant "Timeline" Edit Mode

    I'm having a strange problem. I can't name sequences or clips in the Browser. When I click the sequence to name it I get the standard box with the words Sequence 1 highlighted in Light Blue. My cursor is there. This is normally where you can backspace and rename a sequence.
    However, I cannot rename or name a sequence. What does happen though is that when I type a letter corresponding to a tool like Ripple or Slip, then those tools are highlighted in the lower right-hand vertical tool bar. So even though I'm operating in the browser, FCP is acting like I'm editing in the timeline.
    I've switched keyboards. I've cleared up 20 gb of memory. I've rebooted, restarted, and cleared my preferences. Nothing seems to work.

    When FCP rescues you, all your good settings go out along with the potentially corrupted. If you have customized your interface, loosing all that can be a total pain.
    On the off chance that it isn't a preference problem, (and with FCP not running) first BACKUP your preference files, then TRASH them. When you start FCP, new pref files will be created using the default settings. If this works, BACKUP the new ones.
    However, if trashing the prefs did no good - i.e. you still have the same problem, you can simply RESTORE to bring back your original settings.
    No matter what, once you have a good working setup, the BACKUP command is a great thing. Once saved, you can restore your 'known to be good' settings anytime things look funky and you will not lose custom settings.
    I prefer FCP Attic as it gives me the option to choose which preference files I wish to save and/or trash. With FCP Rescue it is all or nothing.
    Cheers.
