Gaps in Scheduling - PPDS

Hi All,
The issue concerned is gaps appear when rescheduling in Planning board.The operation one before the last operation in an order is shorter in duration than the last operation and when the orders are grouped for the same operation in the resource, the gaps occur in rescheduling.
Tried the reduce gaps in scheduling schequence, but no joy.The strategy used is backward scheduling.Trying to close gaps between the orders for the same operation in that specific resource.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
gaps occur whenever there is a constraint which prevents the operations to be one after the other on one resource. These constraints can be order internal relationships, pegging relationships, capacity constraints, etc.
A schedule without gaps is only possible if all these constraints can be fulfilled without preventing the gap-less sequence on the resource.
If a gap-less sequence on one resource is a business constraint which must be fulfilled then you have to weaken the other constraints which prevent the gap-less sequence. The first candidate for this is usually the finiteness of the other resources: Usually in a scenario like yours it is probably not so important to have all resources finite but only the one resource which has this strong sequence constraint.
So, think about your scenario and your constraints and try to find out which one prevent the sequence and if you can do without it.
Best regards

Problem in a Interface

Hi....
I have an Interface which actually downloads the "MATERIAL MASTER DATA" from SAP to a flat file.
The current o/p of the interface looks like:
MAT NO. MAT DESCRIPTION Subst. Mat no......
Now they askd me to add 3 more fields to that existing program.
those are:
1.OUTSERT No.
2.MEDICATION PART No.
3.AWP PRICE.
So I have written 2 FORMS to retrieve these things.
1st FORM is for getting OUTSERT and MED. PART No.
2nd FORM for AWP PRICE.
(1) OUTSERT: This we get from STPO-IDNRK field. similarly
(2) MED. PART NO.: This also is from STPO-IDNRK field.
The method I used for getting these two things is:
Basically the OUTSERT and MED PART NO. is nothing but the BOM COMPONENTS [STPO-IDNRK].
There is a simple difference between these two things:
If the BOM Component contains 'O' or 'OP' in that value then it is taken as OUTSERT.
For Eg: If STPO-IDNRK value is 73543O or 98723OP then it is OUTSERT.
and If STPO-IDNRK value is 65489M or 68785MP then it is MED. PART NO.
and we have two conditions to be satisfied to calculate these two things,
1.The Material Group[MARA-MATKL] should be 'OST' or 'OSP'.
means MARA-MATKL = 'OST' or 'OSP'.
2.The Alternative BOM Text[STKO-STKTX] should be 'UNRESTRICTED'.
means STKO-STKTX = 'UNRESTRICTED'.
Coming to AWP PRICE, it should be get from field RATE[KONP-KBETR].
I have used tables STKO, STPO to get Outsert and Med. Part No and A505, KONP for AWP Price...
I have highlighted the part of the code which I have included in the existing program....
But there are some problems with that code...so i'm not getting results....
Plz look at the code and let me know wher I've gone wrong...
Thanks much,
The code is:

Scheduling error in ppds

Hi,
I got this error "No gap for activity ||| found within the planning horizon" during production planning run.
Diagnosis
There is not a large enough gap for the activity ||| on the mode
1- in the planning period specified in the time profile.
System Response
The system does not schedule or reschedule.
What could be the reason for this error ? Kindly help.
I am struck with this. i am not getting this error if i create any order manually in product view. but when i run planning for a particular sale order in variable heuristic i am getting this error. any idea pls help
regards
vinay

Dear all,
I had posted the querry to sap. below is what they are saying*.
I had a look at system APD and started heuristic SAP_PP_002 for one
of the customer segments. As expected the following happened:
1. As the 'planning direction' in the strategy settings of the heuristic is set to 'Backwards + Revers' and the planned order availability
date should be today (due to the early requirement date) strategy 1
(backwards scheduling) can't be successful and thus leads to an error /SAPAPO/DM_SCHEDFAIL044
2. Strategy 2 ('revers', i.e. forward scheduling) is successful then and creates a planned order that starts today and ends in the future.
Both steps & messages are displayed in the scheduling log of the
heuristic. Both messages are abolutely correct and are created as
expected.
All created orders are overlapping. This is correct, as they are
scheduled infinitely according to the heuristic settings.
In order to do a finite scheduling of the created orders a suitable DS
heuristic should be carried out as a subsequent step after the PP
heuristic run (as recommended by SAP).
So altogether your system works absolutely correct and there is no
indication for a software error.
SO FRIENDS,
DOES HE MEAN THAT I SHUD NOT RUN VARIABLE HEURISTIC AT ALL. HE MEANS TO SAY THAT I HAVE TO RUN PLANNING IN PLANNING RUN.
pLA GUIDE ME AS TO WHAT I SHUD DO.
THANKS
VINAY

Gap of Time of R3 and PPDS planned orders

Hello Gurus,
I'm facing an issue regarding R/3 - PPDS planned orders.
The customer has the cenário that R3 and APO does not synchronize planned order on-line. R3 sends the orders on line however APO send it only in a determinated time. As a matter of fact, the issue happens when R3 planned orders are sent to APO. Anyhow, the order into R3 that should be delivered by 03/20/2010 for example, in APO, it is showed as 03/18/2010 or 03/19/2010 without apparently reason.
I realized that the R3 system server has a gap of 2 hour more in the system time if you compare with APO server, however I cannot understand the reason of this gap of days and I don't think that seems to be the reason.
Also, the capacity of the resource is not defined at the same time for a shift that is in R3.
Is there anyone that could help me about it?
Tks in advance.
Marcos.

Hi,
The time zone depends on the customization done - but one can change it to the desired option by setting the time zone in product view or requirements view as need be. One has the options of choosing:
Time zone of user
UTC Time zone
Location time zone
Any time zone the user prefers
so immaterial of the server location, one can change the settings according to the user requirements.

Scheduling using Setup Matrix in PPDS

Hi Gurus,
We are using PPDS Steup Matrix for scheduling orders. We have scenario that from product A to B, there is a changeover. And after producing A or B for certain hours, there is a cleanout of certain hours.
Ex- Orders A for 5 hrs, B for 5 Hrs. Setup Matrix: A-B=1 hr and Max order ( A or B)=7 hrs after which cleanout should happen.
While scheduling , A(5hrs) (Setup) B( 5 hrs), this is acheived.
But result should be A(5hrs)(Setup)B(2hrs)(Cleanout)(B 3hrs)
Please give your valuable inputs. How to map extra Cleanout ??/ Should we ceate another setup matrix for cleanout?? Can system take multiple setup matrix???
thanks,
Priya

Hi Priya,
I think Your case can be achieved through campaigm planning.
Create a setup group 'PROD' in ECC.
Under setup group 'PROD' maintain setup keys as 'A' & 'B'
Assign these setup group and setup keys in master recipe.
Maintain the same setup group & keys in APO also and than CIF PPM.
Maintain the setup matrix and assign it to resources
Create a campaign profile for 'PROD' with no of chargers(Orders) as 7.
Now schedule orders by using optimization.
After that create campaigns by using campaign heuristics on the resources.Campaigns will be created for every 7 hours.
And then create cleanout order by using cleanout heuristics between campaigns.
By this you will achiece setup between products and change over after your max run length also achieved by cleanout order between campaigns.
Hope this is clear.
Regards
Sravan

Rolling schedules for steel options between SNP and PPDS

We are trying to set up something within the APO SNP/PPDS tool to
plan rolling schedules for steel.
eg multiple resources, most of which are 100 percent rolling schedules,
with many different "blocks", and common rolls may occur say every 4 weeks, or
every 14 weeks.
And so each roll we need to plan "Quantity required before the next roll" - eg
a 14 week quantity.
We have set up PPDS Blocks using CDP settings with characteristics in our
test system.
Seperate to that we have an SNP model where we plan across multiple plants,
for a 12-24 month period, and we have multiple level BOMS where there may
be 2 semi-finished products between the Finished and Raw material. Eg heat
treated and non-heat treated.
Sometimes one of the interim semi-finished products is the bottleneck, so we
need to use capacity leveling to reduce quantities at all levels of the BOM.
Our main issue is that the SNP quantities that we plan, we are not able to feed into
the PPDS blocks, as SNP does not deal with characteristics.
So in our test, all we can do is use the SNP quantities for higher level plans.
Then delete the SNP orders, and re-run a new PPDS plan to get quantities in our blocks,
but we then have lost all the capacity levelling information from SNP.
Does anyone have any method to deal with this scenario? ie how to model rolling schedules
by utilising the strengths of the SNP mult-plant and capacity leveling data, and then
somehow also taking into account "blocks", or "rolling schedules"?

In our testing. With CDP setting, we create a fcst element with a characteristic on the material. eg RED/BLUE/GREEN, and in PPDS, I can then create a PPDS order with the characterstic linked and visible in the PPDS order, and linked to the BLOCK on the resource (Blocks of RED GREEN for example)
But SNP orders do not work with these characteristics.
This is backed up by various documentation from SAP.
eg
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/b0/3c2463c7cbb54bacfb75c789100ad4/content.htm
SNP cannot plan with characteristics. However, the characteristic assignments remain and can be evaluated in PP/DS.
CDP in SNP
CDP cannot be used in SNP as the SNP does __not support__ characteristics.
http://books.google.com.au/books?id=KjvOY_4P8JEC&pg=PA13&lpg=PA13&dq=CDPSNPcharacteristics&source=bl&ots=tG9-FGeIo9&sig=CzW-hktRFP2DrlOaied2QMY7gNE&hl=en#v=onepage&q=CDP%20SNP%20characteristics&f=false
(In this book - a list of which APO areas do and do not work with Characteristics. SNP does not)

How to schedule job to execute after 5 seconds gap using the program

Hi ALL,
How to schedule the program to run after 5 seconds to execute using JOB_OPEN,JOB_CLOSE,SUB_SUBMIT function modules in which parameter I should give this 5 secnods?
Regards
mahesh

Hi,
You can use the import parameters of function module JOB_CLOSE
SDLSTRTDT & SDLSTRTTM
to pass the required start date and time (respectively) of your background job. That is, if you want the job to be scheduled and start at a fixed time (as in your case 5 seconds in the future), you can determine the start date and time as 5 seconds ahead of sy-uzeit and pass the resultant values to the mentioned importing parameters.
Cheers,
Aditya

Scheduling a background Job with gaps in dates

Hi Experts,
I am having a requirement : A background job has to be scheduled for running a program every 15 minutes and for every month.But this job should not run from date 10th to 15th of every month.For example,In july month Job should start run from 01.07.2014 to 31.07.2014 excluding 10.07.2014 to 15.07.2014.
Can we achieve this without a custom program and using SM36?
Regards,
Arun.

Hello Arun,
is it possible to define a factory calendar to you in the system, if you can define one then you can define the 10-15 the of every month as holiday.
We can select the factory calendar above defined in the job. This can be found by clicking on the restrictions button in the start condition screen.
in that start date restrictions, you can find 5 options in those you can pick the do not execute the periodic job on sunday and holidays.
but this will effect the sundays which are falling in 1-10 th & 15-31st of each month, will that be OK ?
if you do not want to try out the above all steps, then you can simply create 2 job running for each month
1st one for 1-10th of every month.
2nd one for 16th to end date.
Let us know in case of any concerns on the same.
thanks,
Bhaskar

Query on PPDS Scheduling

Hi all,
We are using PPDS in our scenario.
We use PDS & dynamic pegging.
We have semi finished product(SF) and Final product(F)
in our BoM.
Once the SF is made ready, it has to be consumed within
3 hours to make the final product F. There is capacity
constraint to make F from SF.
Under these conditions, how to achieve this requirement.
I tried with Shelf life, but not working.
Please throw some light on this to meet the requirement.
Regards
R. Senthi Mareeswaran.

Hi senthil,
From your note, I understand the HALB will not be stored in any physical storage Location and will be taken into the Production staging of the Finished product directly. I get series of ideas, please check if it helps your business.
1. Total shelf life should be made to 1 day.
2. Move any stock expired to Blocked everyday so that unrestricted stock will have only current date stock.
3. Store the Goods receipt time in batch characteristics. We can transfer the batch characteristics to APO Product master, if needed.
3. Use FIFO method (Considering the GR time from Batch char) for batch determination. This will consider the first batch that was received that day. Considering the fact the process is continuous there will not be any batch left with out consuming.
Also I guess this can be achieved by Offset settings in relationships between the operations. You have to assign the Halb in the successor operation and the FERT at the predecessor operation. The offset time should be 3 hrs.
I guess we need to test these scenarios. I am now in a project where there is no batch managed products. Hence difficult for me to test the same.
Cheers

PPDS Heuristics- Selection

Hi Gurus
I need your help.
My client has the following PPDS requirements to be met in Planning run.
1. SNP runs and the SNP orders have to be converted to PPDS orders in 2 week PPDS horizon.
2. The PPDS orders have to scheduled according to Product priority.
3. In the third step component check is to be made for these PPDS orders and if components are not avilable, the orders with shortsages have to be pushed out in scheduling.
4. The gaps occuring due to this pushing of orders has to be filled up by rescheduling the remaining orders without disturbing the priorities.
I have so far tried the following in production planning run:
First step: SNP - PPDS order conversion
Second Step: Low level code determination
Third step: Reschedule heuristics with scheduling sequence - product priority
Fourth step: Bottom up heuristics
But I am not getting desired results still especially when there are shortages in the components, I see them in the bottom up heuristics log, but the orders are not getting pushed out due to these shortages.
Am I missing anything? Please suggest steps to achieve these objectives in Planing run.
Thanks

Hi,
Please check your PP planning procedure in your manufacturing plant. If it is automatic planning (3), then it will do the planning automatically, when it plans for DC. If so, change it to 4- Planning at planning run.
Please check and revert.

Delivery Date in Schedule Line

Hi,
The issue is:
There is a 1 hour time gap between the System time & the local time.
Say the PRD system date & time is 01.01.2011 23:30 & the local date & time is 02.01.2011 00:30.
I have a scenario where there are 2 similar MTO sales orders.
Sales order 1: Create SO with date & time 01.01.2011 22:30 & the schedule line for the item gets the GI date as 01.01.2011 as expected.
Sales Order 2: Create SO with date & time as 01.01.2011 23:30, then the schedule line for the item gets the GI date as 02.01.2011.
I am not sure if the time difference could be the reason for picking up the different GI dates eventhough both the orders were created on the same day 01.01.2011.
Please let me know if i am missing something here.
thanks & regards
Narain

For shipping point or route pick pack time, load time, transit time may be maintained totally 1 hr. Hence when you create the order at 23:30 the delivery date comes to next day.
or
Shift time may be maintend.
Please check the both.

Schedule lines in APO

hi guys
when i run planning in PPDS for material in APO
its creating PR's instead of schedule lines.
when it should create PRs & when it should create Schedule lines
Doc type is LP
Ext planning ind : 1 i maintained.
is there any setting in external procurement relationship.
can you explain me am new to this APO concept.
thanks
nani

Dear Ritwik,
I guess you have done following steps already.
1. Created APO relevant Scheduling agreement. Ext, Planning Indicator.
2. CIF transfer of the scheduling agreements.
Now you check in External Procurement relationships, you need to ensure that you only have one active external procurement relationship for the products( which is Created by your APO relavant Scheduling Agreement CIF). It is possible that you have more than one procurement relationship active for the product and so it is creating PR's instead of Schedule lines.
Hope it helps.

Scheduling a background job

Hi all,
I have a requirement in which i need to run a job only after 5th of everymonth to untill end of month in one hour gap.
So it should be like that,job start from
Nov---5th to nov 30th then
Dec---5th to Dex31th.How can i acheive this?I cannot modify the program since it is a standard program?
Apart from creating the customized program and call the standard program from there...i would like to have some other
solution than this since there are variants in the standard program.
Rgards,
Arun.

Hi Arun ,
You can use Background Processing Event.
An event is a signal stating that a predefined status in the system has
been reached. The background processing system receives events and then
starts the background job/jobs that is/are linked to an event.
So in the "After Events" tab in SM36 you specify a perticular event which will be triggered on 5th of every month and you will schedule your job after that with periodicy as "every hour"
Hope this will help to you .

Nikhil

How do I remove the gap above my Spry Menu bar?

Hi Folks,
I have an extensive web site which I built over many years and using different programs but have now jettisoned all of thse and work exclusively with Dreamweaver to maintain and improve it myself. To date I have always had to edit each item on each page separately then upload everything to keep my now vast website updated.
I read that if I made an SSi file for my navigation menu then I do not need to edit it on each separate page of my site so long as I load the pages of my site as .shtml files and insert a Server-Side Includes line in the code of my web pages. All great in theory BUT for some reason which is confounding me there is a gap appearing at the top of the page which is not there on the pages which are not .shtml and have my sprymenu embedded in the code.
Rather than attach long code here, it might be easier to see the problem on my live pages. So please go to any page of www.dominicnatoli.com to see how the site looks with the spry menu in each page and then go to say www.dominicnatoli.com/2011.shtml to see one of the newly loaded pages which displays the menu from the file www.dominicnatoli.com/includes/navmenu.shtml. interestingly enough if I open the navmenu.shtml alone it displays at the top of the page but whenever I open it as embedded code on my .shtml content pages it does not display at the top of the page.
I have not completely uploaded all the .shtml files of the site as I have encountered this issue and if I cannot resolve it I will ababndon this course of action and search for another solution so if you click on some of the menu items and it takes you to a dead end that is not in and of itself the problem as not all the .shtml files have been loaded to the server yet.
I have trawled through the css and code to the best of my "limited" ability and am frustrated as I cannot find my error. There ar epossibly hundreds of errors in the pages as this site has been created using many different programs over decades and one of my reason for trying to do this new menu management is part of my overhaul stragtegy which has stumbled already at the first step. LOL I know we say if it ain't broke don't fix it, but I need to sort out a better way of editin the navigation menu universally rather than having to write code into each menu on each page in order for the nav bar to be consistent wite wide.
I would really be grateful if one of you gurus can tell me where I am going wrong so I can replicate the solution for the remained of my pages. I am not sure if the problem is in teh navmenu.shtml page and its associated css or in the other shtml page with its much larger css. Thanks for any help you can give me to sort his out.
I am working on Dreamweaver CC and CS6 ( the latter has an Insert Server Side Includes extension which does not work in CC so I tend to use CC for the main updates and CS6 for the SSI stuff.)
Please let me know if you need any other information or stuff from me. Thanks a lot and
All the best
Dominic

OK Nancy, so I moved the code as you suggested, and it has gone back to showing the nav menu formatted BUT still with a gap at the top.
Here is the new code for the page. BTW it only has 463 lines

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

    at Mietta’s. It was a great opportunity for Dominic to sing the music of this remarkable
    singer in a tribute which was a marathon consisting of no less than 21 songs and
    duets ranging from Vesti la giubba to Serenade. Audiences and critics alike loved
    the show, so much that he returned to Australia again in 1996 for a further season

    of Carmen. This was another role debut and a resounding success for him despite a
    ludicrously short rehearsal period, the last minute replacement of the conductor
    resulting in a dress rehearsal which began at 8:30 and finished at 2:30 the next
    morning which happened to be the day of the opening night which was followed by performances
    on each of the consecutive three evenings. A true baptism of fire for a new role!
    It has become an oft repeated role for Dominic; to date he has been involved in 5
    productions with a total of over 30 performances.</span>

Gaps Between Orders while Rescheduling in DS Board

Hi All,
After rescheduling is carried out on DS board , I observe that there are gaps between orders on the resource and the sequence of orders have been changed.I am planning in forward direction and the scheduling mode used is insert operation.
I need help in understanding the presence of gaps and why does rescheduling change sequence of orders.
Thanks,
Shweta

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your valuable response.
By using "Interrupt" functionality in DS board, the partially confirmed operations can be rescheduled, but when you double click on this operation, you will see the checkbox "Part.Conf." is removed.
Now customer want to see this flag stays to be set, so as to configure the color for this partial confirmed operation, and meanwhile to enable the rescheduling functionality.
Is it possible? Any enhancement we have to do for this requirement?
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Cherry
