Duration of a shift and planned downtime

Hi All,
I checked the current postings, but couldn't find anything related to what I am looking for, while one or two related to time intervals and schedules was almost close...
I am a project manager working on an xMII implementation that currently is not running ERP.
The factory has a regular 8 hour shift schedule, a 6 hr weekend shift schedule, a 8 hr weekend shift schedule, a 6 hour holiday shift shift, and a 8 hr holiday shift.  For the 6 hr shifts the planned downtime is 40 min.  For the 8 hr holiday and weekend shifts the planned downtime is 65 min and the reg 8 hr shift has 75 min of planned downtime.
My understanding is that xMII first looks at the schedule and then the interval.
Does anyone have any idea around how the intervals could be set-up, linked to a schedule so that the code can see that the shift is 8 hrs in duration but because it is a holiday schedule 65 min of planned downtime should be subtracted instead of the usual 75 min?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts...
Susan

Hi Susan,
Your understanding that 'xMII first looks at the schedule and then the interval' is accurate, but the standard time engine capabilities for Time Periods and Schedules doesn't really address your particular needs.
It is a little unclear where and how you want to apply the 75 or 65 minutes of downtime subtraction, but if you default this to 75 and then only adjust it to 65 when you are in a 'holiday' schedule you could probably accomplish your desired outcome.
A database table that contains the holiday start and end datetime shift ranges could be queried in relation to the current time for the notion of in/out of holiday mode.  So if you default it to 75 and then if the query indicates a 'holiday mode' change it to 65 for the necessary subtraction.

  • HR520 Shift and workforce planning

    Hi
    Can anyone  send me
    HR520 Shift and workforce planning
    My details are there in my business card

    I do know that workforce does work with both classic and epma planning applications.
    It has been a while since I have been on a pure workforce application though I didn't think it actually added metadata to the dimensions.

  • I am using for Autocad my Windows HP Laptop. However i want to shift to Apple world and plan to buy new  MBAir 13". Is it has enough power to install bootcamp and run Autocad.

    I am using for Autocad my Windows HP Laptop. However i want to shift to Apple world and plan to buy new  MBAir 13". Is it has enough power to install bootcamp and run Autocad?

    I don't know, but I would assume that the MBA can install and can run Autocad with Boot Camp.
    The question is more, can the software be effectively used with such a small display.
    Audocad and vector packages such as Adobe Illustrator are typically run using large screens, so a lack of display real estate may mean the process is frustrating, even if it is possible.
    I face the same thing - I am considering an MBA 13" and need to run Illustrator, and that would mean a lot of scrolling.
    I  think you would be advised to ensure you bought an MBA with a high specification of processor and memory to give yourself the best chance of success.
    Is there a Mac version of Autocad you could switch to, to make for less complication? I've managed to shift all but one of my Windows applications to OS X now, and only occasionally use Windows on the system.

  • Shift wise planning and scheduling

    Dear All,
    Here we have a scenario in which we have to do shift wise planning and scheduling.
    The shift is not fixed.
    It can be 1 shift on particular day and it might be 2 shifts another day. They will plan for this many hours per day for future.
    The scheduling should be done for this many hours which inturn is as many shifts. The working hours per day is not fixed as well. It totally depends on the requirement. So the planning and scheduling should happen based on hour basis and will be different for each day. I need your inputs for mapping this scenario.

    Balaji,
    You have not given any meaningful requirements, therefore it is impossible for me to make suggestions.  What you have said so far implies total randomness.  If all the events are random, there is no planning, only tracking.
    Exactly what do you mean when you say 'planning'?  Material planning in ERP does not consider shift sequences/timings/schedules.  Capacity planning, where work schedules are managed, does consider shift type data, but only takes place only after the orders have been established.
    Scheduling is done based on Work Centers.  A work center can represent one or more machines, one or more people, or a combination of the two.  Work centers can have shifts.  The number of shifts can vary over time.  The shifts can have various working schedules.  The shift working schedules can vary over time.
    I suggest that you describe a single specific scenario you would like to discuss.  Perhaps then the forum can offer some suggestions.
    Best Regards,

    I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

    Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
    The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.
    Take your time, study and use the > Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions if you get stuck or aren't sure how to make the move.

  • A place to maintain planned downtime

    Hi all, are there any SAP standard functionality to maintain planned downtime? In Solution Manager? Another central place in the SAP landscape?
    Users should be able to see when the system will be unavailable, and get warnings or messages before the system is down. Do I have to create a table and abap programs/function modules for this?
    I need a place for external and internal partners to look up and check when the system will be down.

  • The loading date, transportation date and planned date on the STO are the same as Delivery dates.

    Hi,
    We have created a Intra plant STO (plant to plant in the same company code). The planned delivery date is 4 days. So if I create a STO today (27th march), the delivery date is 31st march (excl Saturday and Sunday).
    During delivery creation, the loading date, transportation date and planned date are also coming as 31st march. The route determination for the given shipping point and route shows 2 days for transit and 4 hours for pick pack. There is no loading time maintained for the given combination.
    Can you please advice why are the dates coming the same as delivery date during delivery creation without considering the duration maintained in route determination ?
    Thanks!!!
    Anuja

    Hi,
    This is a standard behavior of SAP in case of Stock Transfer PO.
    If you want that the delivery date of receiving plant be transferred to supplying plant, please use BADI MD_STOCK_TRANSFER.
    Hope this helps.

  • Planned downtime

    hi,
    is there any way to manage the fixed recurring planned down time in APO???
    we can manage it in APO-Resource, other than this, how can we manage it.
    secondly, is there any way to maintain source of supply every month???
    source of supply, means replenish from one plant to another plant. so receiving plant can change source of supply every month? is it possible in APO or ECC!!
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Jignesh.

    Hey Jignesh,
    as an answer to the first part of your question:
    you can model it either by
      - defining capacity variants (tab. general data)
      - using copy and paste downtimes (ugly)
      - creating maintenance plans (which is I assume exactly what you are looking for)
    But watch out.... orders react differently to different types of downtimes.
    If an order reaches a planned downtime created by option 2 or 3 it's automatically rescheduled at the end of the downtime, whereas with capacity variants the order keeps going on!
    Hope this helps a bit... Bobby

  • CIF ECC Shifts and Intervals to APO

    Hi All,
    I need to maintain shift and interval is ECC work center as a part of u201Cstandard available capacityu201D.
    These shifts and intervals are to be transferred to APO u2013 PPDS for planning. Though in CFC9 I have u201CUse Ext. Capacityu201D enabled, Shifts and Interval are not getting CIFed to APO.
    The only reason I can make is; shifts and intervals defined in ECC are not a part of standard available capacity. (In Interval and Shift Tab of capacity header definition, Stand Avail u2013 is Grey Field)
    Please guide
    Regards,

    Hi,
    What is parameter set in CFC9 for external capacity is it A or X.
    If it is A external capacity indicator will be checked in resource in APO and APO will use shifts from ECC for scheduling inspite of specification in workcenter.
    If it is X you need to check the checkbox external capacity for particular work center by clicking on APO resource button in workcenter.

  • I am forced to hold shift and refresh the page on 99% of the sites I visit. How do I fix this from happening? If I don't the pages are missing style sheets and etc.

    When ever I go to sites they half load or are missing style sheets. If I view the source for the page and click on a style sheet link I get the following error:
    Content Encoding Error
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
    If I hold shift and refresh the page loads as normal.
    It's happening on 99% of the sites I visit. I have disabled my plugins and add-ons.
    I do have some add-ons or plugins that I would like to remove completely but there is no uninstall or remove option, neither in regular or safe mode.

  • Financial report for essbase and planning application

    Hi,
    Can any one please explain me what is the difference between creating financial report for essbase application and planning application.
    Considering we will have Essbase cube for the planning application
    Thanks in advance

    Correct, the data that is stored in Essbase will be the same regardless of which connection type you use.
    Data that is only stored in Planning can only be retrieved using a Planning connection. This includes Supporting Detail and SmartLists as these are stored in the Planning relational database.
    As a general rule I always use an Essbase connection unless i specifically want to get supporting detail or smartlists but that is just me.
    Hope this helps
