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

This is now standard behavior.

Work center in PS module

Hi Expert,
Do we need to create a work center in PS module? What the function of work center in PS module? Where we should attach a work center in PS module ? (WBS/network/activity?
Plz advice.
Cheers.

Hai
Work center can be assigned to either an organizational unit or a work center in the Human Resource Management System (HRMS).
Work centers belong to the most important master data in the R/3 production planning and control system.
In SAP PS workcenters used for workforce / resource / capacity planning /scheduling a work - based on the workcenter - for an particular Activity(Internal) by maintaining the proper workcenter.
Based on the work performed actual costs known with the help of Cost center maintained in the workcenter.
Using CNR1 - can create the workcenter or using CNR2 can be duplicated to your requirement.

Function Module to get a work center's capacity requirements (load) within a given period

Hi all experts,
Currently I’m doing a capacity summary report similar to CM01, but with a summarized capacity availability and loading for a period.
Selection Parameters: Work center range from and to, Period from and to
List Format: Work Center, Avail Capacity, Loaded Capacity, Free Capacity, Load %
I have found a standard function module (FM) to get work center's available capacity for a period, but still facing the challenge to find a FM to get a work center’s capacity requirements (load) in a period.
I have read through all the related threads from the web, and tested the recommended FMs, but still cannot get a right result.
Please help to provide some leads for a FM or the logic.
Best Regards
Philip

Hello Philip
The following function modules should be useful:
   - CY_PRIMARY_SELECTION            - Function module for selection of orders for the work center
   - CY_SECONDARY_SELECTION          - Check for additional criteria
   - CR_CAPACITY_AVAILABLE_PERIODS   - Reads the available capacity from work center
   - HR_PERSON_READ_TIME_INFO        - Reads the available capacity from person (modification)
   - CY_GET_PART_CAPACITY            - used only for the first period to read backlog
   - CY_LOAD_DISTRIBUTION            - Distribution key
Please observe that these are simple function modules, not BAPIs, That means, they were developed to be used on the SAP internal programs and they are not supported by SAP when used in custom programs.

How can I relate an equipment with the PP Work center & functional location

Hi,
I'm trying to relate equipments with their PP work centers (field ITOBATTR-ARBPL listed in the Location tab of the equipment) and the functional location (field ITOB-TPLNR listed in the Structure tab of the equipment) through SQVI.
The workcenter is in a structure and the functional location relation in table ITOB gives me thousands of results with different functional locations per equipment so I can't tell which one is the propper one.
Additionally I would like to filter the equipments flagged for deletion, but I also can't find the field of thet flag).
In resume I need to create a query that gives me all equipments not flagged for deletion with their corresponding PP Work center and functional location.
Thanks in advance
JV

Please check table EQUZ or view V_EQUI.
In table EQUZ (GEWRK is the work center object number ) -> Use this go to table CRHD and find ARBPL for the correct time slot.
For fucntional location in EQUZ (ILOAN is the location assignment ) -> go to table ILOA with the ILOAN and fetch TPLNR.
Please ensure you fetch records which are currently valid from EQUZ (Use the valid to date field compare . Valid to date must be greater than or equal to current date).

Trying to find Function modul for requirement capacity in work center

Hi Colleagues,
I have tried to find a function modul: Import - Work center , Export - requirement capacity.
but havn't succeed with.
I will be glad for any help.
tnx & best regards

I need a FM that export the requirement capacity of a Work center.
Report CM01 has the same functionallity, however, by debugging it I coudn't find any useful function, morever, I have found a thread in the forum with the same issue but it wasn't helpful.
an example for my needs is as followed:
Function: CAPACITY_REQUIREMENT_FOR_WORK_CENTER
IMPORT:
                        1. Work Center = MG1602
                        2. Plant = 1000
                        3.date from = 01.04.2011
                        4. date to     = 01.05.2011
EXPORT:
                        1. Capacity Requirment (Total) = 240 [Hours]
                        2. Capacity Requirment (period) = 22 [hours]

What are the control functions of Suitability and setup type key in work center?

Hi all,
Can any1 plz tell me what is suitability and setup type key in workcenter default values tab?
what are the functions controlled by these keys?

Hello,
Control Key in Defaut value keys screen is mainly for defining how the work center will be used in routings.
Almost in all the PP we define same Control key to the work center as well in the routing.
For example in work center control Key PP01 is used to define Routings/Internal proc. activities. When we go to the routing screen even if we do not see our components, work centers or control key we have to manually enter these details ans here control Key will remain the same as it was in Work center.
No. of individual capacity defines how many machines are there of the same type in the work center. E.g if I have 5 CNC machines then I will make One work center and in capacity screen I will put 5 as No. of individual Capacity.

Piyush

Hi,
I fear that it is not possible to customize the Runtime WorkCenter. This link will always be there. However, it is possible for you to implement your own work center by using the GP Public API.
Administrator, Owner and Overseer are runtime concepts and cannot apply for browsing the Gallery. It is possible to define DT Permissions for each object. To do this, open a process/block/action and click on the tab "Permissions". There you can search for Role, Group or User and grant them special rights.
For more information, you can have a look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/8e/7f55429c0fab53e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Granting for permissions for GP Objects on help.sap.com</a>
Hope this helps.

Function with production/planned orders of a work center or capacity

Hi,
does anybody know if a function exists which we could use in a tailor made report, which will list all production and planned orders for a given work center or capacity ? The aim should be to create a report which is more or less equal to the capacity evaluation overviews in CM01-CM07, but then in ALV and with customer specific fields in it.
Many thanks for any valuable feedback !
Kristof Wylin.

Will be done in another way. Orders will be collected via KBED.

CAPP Functionality and Custom Z table when maintaining work center standard

Hi,
i have to do enhancmenet to transaction CR02,
Production planning needs to update PP routers with Standard Values that pertain to setup, machine, labor, man calculation, machine calculation. They will use CAPP functionality to accomplish this. Work centers will be classified with characteristics identified as CAPP standard values. The actual standard values will be assigned to each work center using transaction CR02, program SAPLCRA0. The work centers will be classified and standard values assigned.Upon saving the work center entries, the system needs to update the Z table with the assigned characteristic values and store the information by plant and work center. When the CAPP program is executed, the program will go a Z table where the work center characteristics are stored.

What if I really don't care about the old historical values??? I only want to populate this information from this point forward. Would that change your mind as to which method to choose???
In this case, you can use the Append Structure. There would be more advantages as you don't have to keep track of data consistency, Locking / Unlocking mechanism etc.
Please refer to the section [Further Remarks on Append Structure|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21eb61446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm]

Distribution function and Sender credits

I have configured a Distribution By Keys From Sender to Recipient planning function in my BW 3.5 BPS planning environment. The function distributes the amounts for all cost elements of a given cost center to the cost element S8000000 in a set of receiver cost centers based on fixed portions established for each receiver cost center.
The function works perfectly as I would expect on the receiver side of things. However, I've noticed something on the sender side that I'd like done differently. I've noticed that it credits (reduces) the value of each sending cost element according to the amount posted to that cost element. What I'd like for the function to do is to post the credit only to the cost element S8000000 on the sending cost center. That way, users can still run queries and exclude the S* cost element to see the original value on the sender cost center.
Can anyone suggest a way to either: a) configure the Distribution function to achieve this result; b) configure a FOX formula to do this; or c) configure an EXIT planning function to do this; or d) something else I haven't considered.
Thank you,
John

Hi,
Try the method/fn 'Distribute by key from Sender to Receiver'. I still suspect it might address your issue. Better to give it a try.
As a last resort, you could use a 'Copy' fn (to copy the data of sender ccs from original CE to S* CE) and then modify your distribute fn's sender CE to S*. Lastly make this set (1.Copy 2.Distibute) is as a bundle (sequence) and always use together (as sequence).
Hope this helps.

Nataraj.

Defining Distribution Functions

Dear,
In SOP base planning i define "Dstribution Functions".
Can any one help what its and how functionally it works?
I define this thing under path :
Production - Basic Data - Bill of Material - Item Data- Item Data from Related Application Areas - Define Distribution Keys

Maulik Vania

Hi,
The chronological distribution of capacity requirements over the duration of an operation depends on the capacity category.
The personnel capacity of a set-up person is required at the beginning of an operation and the machine operator perhaps every four hours to check up on progress, but the machine capacity is required constantly during the whole operation.
The distribution of capacity requirements in capacity planning is controlled by distribution keys
You can enter and edit the following distribution keys in the Capacity overview screen :
*Distribution of the capacity requirement in the set-up, processing and teardown operation segments (for instance in production orders)
*Distribution of the capacity requirement for internal processing (for instance in networks and maintenance orders).
*Distribution keys are defined in Customizing for Work centers by choosing Define distribution key.
For more information about distributing capacity requirements, see the R/3 Library PP - Capacity Planning
Activities
You define distributions, for example, in Customizing for Capacity Planning by choosing Operations ® Capacity requirements. They are identified using distribution keys.
You enter distribution keys:
-- In the options profile for the capacity evaluation
-- In the evaluation profile for capacity leveling and the extended evaluation
You can also specify in the profiles that the system uses the distribution key that you enter in the capacities for the work center or in the operations/activities in networks, maintenance orders and process orders.
If you do not specify a distribution key, the system uses the distribution key SAP000. With this distribution key, all of the capacity requirements for an operation are loaded on the start day for the operation.
During the capacity evaluation, you can specify by choosing Settings ® General that the distribution keys are to be taken from the capacities or from the operations/activities in networks, process orders and maintenance orders.

Vinodh
