Pooled capacity, machine work center can have labour?

Dear All,
1) We have eg. a common pool of welders for Location A and Location B welding work centers. How do we setup the pooled capacity and assign to them?
2) We have eg. 2 CNC machining work centers (Vert and Horiz) but we have labour support to do machine setup, labour related jobs etc. If we need to perform labour capacity planning in this machine-based work center, is this done by maintaining a separate work center for this labour support and assigned to the same Cost Center? Or for machine-based work center, labour capacity planning is not required?
Thank you for contributing.

Dear
We have eg. a common pool of welders for Location A and Location B welding work centers. How do we setup the pooled capacity and assign to them?
There is no differnce between pooled capacity and available caapcity .Only thing is you can utilised this capacity pool for various work centre level.
To do that , Goto - SPRO-Production -BAsic Data-Work center-Capacity Planning-Define Capacity categories -Create Capacity Categoery for common pool of welders , Create Capacity in CR11 and assing them into Work cetre Capaicty tab-Pooled Capacity Catogeries and maintian No of indivuial caapcity in Capacity Header -Standard Available caapcity-Indivual Capacity ( Total Number of welders with working timing , utilisation ) .
Quest2 : To address this issue , you can select Setup , Labour and Machine in Defalut tab of same Work centre with proper Standard Value Key .Now , as they are all part of the Production activity , so you can keep the same Cost Centre ( Production Cost Centre ) in the Work centre tab with Formula Key of Labour ,Machine and setup .Goto CR02-Default Tab and Costing tab .
Hope this is clear

FM for checking Available Capacity of Work Center

Dear All,
I have trying to find a Function Module to get the latest available date of the Work Center (The Period where no Production Orders has been dispatched to it). It is only when the Work Center is available then we can dispatch the Production Order's processes to its work center.
Does anybody knows which Function Module or Table where I can get the latest available date for carrying out the Production Order dispatch process. Any inputs would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Dear
Goto CM05/CM07-Select Work Centre Load or Work Centre Basic Load -Enter Work Centre or just give the Plant Code -Hit Standard Profile -It will display you weekly basis Work Centre Avaliable Capacity , Requirement , Load .
It will give you a broad picture over an period -You can select any one the check box representing Weeks or you can change over in Monthly basis .For that you have select Planning -Profile -Option Profile -daily , Monthly , Weekly , yearsly
If you are stick to FM : Help about available capacity
Hope this will address you issue

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]

Distributing remaining capacity for work center.

Hi PS experts, could you please provide your advice with a problem I have below.
I planned a internal activity for 40 hrs. The activity dates are 2011.12.01 to 2012.02.29.
In 2011, the capacity report CM07 correctly distributed the hours evenly between Dec-2011 and Feb 2012.
No confirmations have been posted.
Now in January-2012, when I re-run the CM07 and look at remaining hours by period, the distribution is NOT even.
It has 35 hrs in Jan, and 5 hrs in Feb.
The only way we have found to resolve this is by creating a confirmation, even with ZERO hours.
Once that's done, the distribution is correct. I can re-create the error by cancelling the orignal confirmation.
SAP seems to be "shoveling" the hours to the next logical month(s), but with no distribution.
Can you please advise on how to resolve, without having to enter a ZERO confirmation?
Thank you.

Hi Alex,
I am not sure, what do you expect the hours or capacity should be distributed.
The standard distribution logic works in the following.
remaining capacity = planned - actual
As long as there is no confirmation(no actual hours posted), the remaining is the same as the planned hours, independant on what date is today.
Now the amount of the remaining capacity is determined, we need a time-frame to distribute it, logically. The time-frame is determined with the distibution key. Typically are the earliest dates or latest dates. So check, which earliest dates and latest dates the involved activity has.
The confirmation affect the actual working hours and the scheduling, that means the earliest dates and the lates dates, => the confirmation affects the distirbution time frame => the confirmation affect the distribution.
The consulting note 151551 should be (still) useful.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Pooled Capacity Not updating in Work center

Hi All, I want to update pooled capacity in Work center. But when i delete the existing capacity it is giving error that " Capacity still being used". Can any one suggest,how to tackle this problem? I want to give solution to Client. Thanks in Advance..!

HI,
Capacity Utilisation rate = Actual Capacity / Theoritical Capacity
Theoritical Capacity= Shift period * No. of machines available
= 8 hrs * 2 = 16 hrs
Actual Capacity value depends on how the company decides it. Say if the break 30 mins has to be considered, then the actual capacity will be 15 hrs for 2 capacities and hence,
Capacity Utilisation rate = 15 / 16 = 93.8%
So, decide the utilisation rate based on the Company's requiremnt.
Hope the above gives you an idea.

Capacity Leveling of Work Center

Hi all,
I have a problem with Capacity of Work center (WC).
I have a Internal Activity, and i assigned a WC for this Internal Activity. WC's capacity is 100H/day for 1 number of element.
Work of this WC is 250H, duration 5 days, number of element 1. Default capacity of this WC is distributed by Distribution Key define in Activity. . And they are divided equally between factory days in 5 day. That is capacity requirement is 50H/Day
So, i want to edit this WC's capacity following value:
Day 1: 100H/day
Day 2: 50H/day
day 3: 0H/day
day 4: 0H/day
day 5: 100H/day
How can i do it?? I try to use Dispatch Manually but i cant solve this problem.
Please help me for this case.
Thank all.

Dear
Capacity leveling depends on some of the basic set up of Capacity Requirement Planning .You need to have proper CRP set up frist .
Couple of check points : -
Did you work centre is relevent for finitie scheduling in CR02-Capacity Header and wht is the over laod percentage for work centre ?
Did you have Capacity Requirement Related Set up like Over all profile , time profile , Startegy Profile -OPD0?
Did your Capacity Check -OPJK -Order Control at order level are active for availibilty Check 1 and 2 and assinged Over all Profile ?
Set up :
1.Please assing a operation control key like PP01 where Details Capacity Check and scheduling is active .
2.In CR02-Work centre -Capacity Header -You should have Follow check box marked
1.Releven for Finitie Scheduleing
2.Can be used for multiple Operation
3.
3.OPU3/OPU5 -Define Scheduling paramter -Mark Scheduling and Capcity Check for planned order or production Order
4.In SPRO -Shop Floor Control-Define Production Scheduling Profile -You need to matian the relevent Parameters like
1.Schedueling Automatically 2.Scheduling Log 3.Adjust Scheduling -Basic date , Depedent Requirement date 4.Scheduling Type -Backward etc .
These are all basic level set up beside CRP overall profile and other profile like strategy /time etc which may in place as you are analysing in CM01.
Please find below some of the useful CRP details : Refer this threads which are self explaintory :

How to dispatch operation to do Capacity Leveling at Work Centre Level :
1.Frist Check the over load at work centre . Goto -CM07/CM05-give plant only -then hit the Stnadard view -You will find weekly or daily baiss load ( Requirement , Avaliable Capcity , Overlaod etc )
2.Check the week in which days you are tring to dipatch -if you selet the week check box and double clik it will show u all the dataiul load .Basde on the available capacity in other week-days u need to dipatch in CM22/CM31 or CM25/CM21
While dipatching in CM22/CM31-Select the Stragegy button on the top header -Mark Date entry when dispatching so that when you select the operation of any production order or planned order for certain work centre , it will pop with window having information of Date , Work Centre , Time .Onec you did this you will receive Scheduling log with certain information .
Hope this helps

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.

Activity cost at work center

Dear Exports,
I have a requirement in my project
1. In a work center we have 3 activities. 1. Labour time
                                                                   2. Machine Time
                                                                    3. No. Kgs treated.
I am able to give labour & Machine reates by giving price at kp26. and number of minitus in routing.
But my client wants machine hour rate : no. labours worked X Time worked X rate per hour .
i.e he wanted to give time in labour time activity and no of employees worked in machine time the formula must claculate
Labour time X Machine time(No of Workers worked) X KP26 Price(Per Labour hour).
Can Any body help me please...
Rao

Check if there is an existing WC formula that you can use or create your own formula for the work center.
My challenge (at a different business, so I don't have the exact work in front of me, but I have notes) was Crew size x Machine Hours x Activity rate.
In the routing Operation Details is a section General Data.
There is a field: Number of Employees, field name ANZMA, That is where we populated Crew size
Use an existing formula if possible
Which formula do I use??
    Work Center Basic Data (CR02) determine standard value key
    Go to "Define Standard Value Key" in IMG (OP19); select std value key and click detail button
     Note the Parameter used                                        IMG path: Production>Basic Data>WorkCenter>General Data>Standard Value >Define Standard Value Key
    Go to "Define formulas for work centers" in IMG (OP54); select formula that uses the field parameters required          IMG path: Production>Basic Data>WorkCenter>Capacity Planning>Work Center Formulas>
                     Define formulas for work centers
Not there? Create the formula
     In English - what do you want to calculate?
     Find parameters for the fields in the calculation
     Write formula (op54) Copy from existing formula if possible - spaces in the equation are necessary
                         OP17 is where to create new Parameters.
This is all configuration - with some high leve security (in our system). Configur and TEST CAREFULLY

Pooled Capacity in Scheduling

HI All,
I have created the independent capacity and activated as pooled capacity which is a group of labors,
Now I have the Work Center which is a machine work center, this group of labors are used in diff work centers, so I assigned them to these work centers in capacity Tab of WC.
I have capacity formulas assigned to Machine capacity and pooled capacity is assigned to labor capacity which is created in WC,
Do in need to assign this pooled capacity in Scheduling tab, using Capacity category as Person ?
OR it is sufficient to assign pooled capacity in capacity tab page?
In my scheduling, part I wanted to have scheduling on the maximum time consumed in operation. But in planned order scheduling tab, I cud see both machine and labor.
Where am I getting wrong.
Please suggest
Regards
raghu

Hello Mr. Bramhnakar,
Thanks for your reply,
Yes i have tried the settings you mentioned.
My doubts are :
Should the Pooled capacity be getting calculated in Scheduling.
Since I gave capacity formulas, for both capacities in Work Center,
and scheduling formula in scheduling tab.
In routing i gave 12 Hr machine and 16 Hr in Labor (Pooled),
In Planned order, I can see the Both Taming, But after converting it to Prod Order, In Operation details tab->dates, i cansee the scheduling on the Machine Time, for which i gave formula in WC--Scheduling tab. This is confusing for me since in Planned order i cud find both but in Production order i found One,
In Routing i have activated Req. Overlapping.
One more query sir,
Is their any problem if i use Splitting indicator with count of available capacity in WC,
I did this bse the all order were followin in diff dates.

Raghu

Pooled Capacity

Hello all,
At a client site am using Pooled capacity at Work centers(SAP resources) to help capacity planning with some pooled resources. So during planned order scheduling or in production(process) order the time required to complete the operation is higher than the Recipe(Route) time.
Eg: - Recipe time for operation at a Pooled Resource =10 min
Planned order or Production order time at that operation shows as 15 min
So the question is how does SAP read 10 min Recipe processing time & calculate 15 min as actual required time in Production( Process ) order.
I could not find any relevant SAP writeup on the pooled capacity concept & detailed sheduling being done.
So if anyone has been able to find more explanation from SAP on this will be appreciated.
Also please share your experience on scheduling using pooled capacity.
Thanks,
Ram

HI,
Assigning Pooled Capacities
Prerequisites
You can assign a pooled capacity to a work center
Pooled capacities can only be created independently from the work center in capacity maintenance. If you want to make a work center independent capacity a pooled capacity, set the Pooled capacity indicator in the General data section of the screen and then choose Enter
Procedure
Enter in the required capacity category in the capacity overview of the work center the name of the pooled capacity.
If the default capacity of a work station does not intend pooled capacities to be assigned, you can do this nonetheless:
Delete the capacity category by choosing Edit ® Delete.
Create a new capacity category by choosing Edit ® New entries.
Maintaining Scheduling Data
From any work center screen choose Goto ® Scheduling.
The Scheduling screen appears.
Enter the capacity with its capacity category whose execution time you want to use for scheduling. This can be either a work center capacity or a pooled capacity.
The capacity data must have already been entered in the work center.
Maintain formulas for operation segments (for production orders) or for internal processing time (for networks and maintenance orders).
If you do not enter a formula for an operation segment, the execution time of this segment is set to zero.
If you do not enter a formula for internal processing time, the duration in the network or maintenance order is used.
Via Extras ® Formula you can assign a formula constant a value and an unit, display a formula and test formulas
Maintain queue times and if necessary the dimension and units of measure for work in internal processing operations.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tejas

Assigning HR persons to work center

hello
What is the diffrence between assigning HR persons to Work center and assigning HR persons to capacity of work center. And what is the impact of these 2 assignements to capacity planning in activities in PS?
THX

hello
I have been still reading docs for this topics. Now yes you are right there are 2 places for adding HR to work center. As I have read there is a reason for this.
If you add HR to work center you will add people to work center indirectly. Now I'm not sure yet if I should add HR work center to work center and then add people to capacity in addition. But I will check it soon.
And the second way is to add people from HR to capacity directly.
The benefit for this second way - directly to capacity - is you can use capacity of added to work center people as standard capacity of this work center.

Quality inpsection on Work center (with/without Material Ref.)

Dear All,
I have scenario, where I have to do the in process inspection on machine (work center) to measure various process parameters that has a direct link with product quality. it is basicallly with out material reference.
I tried using in process inspection for production order but there are several constraints due to which It will not work for certain cases. if we record the readings on each interval against machine/workcenter then every thing will be fine.
how can we do it in SAP.
thanks
MD

Yes its a variant product (Like aluminium sheets rolls for different gauge and widths). which means alot of different product variants produce on same machine with same machine parameters.
so for inspection, product has secondary importance, we want to study the machine parameters to monitor which should remain same over the time and product.
Further at the end, the report we want to see is based on machine not product.
thx

Costing in Work Center

Hi all,
I have a work center with an activity assigned. The cost of the activity has been maintained in KP26. E.g. 30 dollar /hour.
In the costing tab of the work center, i have added the activity and put in the formula SAP008.
When i do a calculation of the costing formula, i entered 1 day as the work duration.
The results for the calculation gives me 30*24 = 720. So it is giving me 1 day = 24 hours.
In the capacity tab, i have maintained the start, end and break time. Thus the operating time is 8 hours. Base of unit of measure is put as Days.
Any ideas where i would need to configure such that 1 day = 8 hours and the result of the calculation would be 30*8 =240?
Appreciate any advice.

Hi,
I think this 24 hours is not directly related to 1 day equivalant hours.The time is coming from the formula you have used SAP008.
Please create a formula which will take 24 hours as 8 hours for this resours.
For an example
Create a formuls x=SAP008/3
As 8 hours is availabe hours for your resource.The formula SAP008 use Work (internal proc) as a entry.Divide it by 3 by which you can get the actual run hours.
Hope this will help.

kaushik

Work center problem

Hi Friends!
I have one dought in work center.I have 10 macines entered in place of individual capacities.so system calculate the capacity planning for 10 mc.Some times i will send 2mc for engineering department regarding for repairing.but next when run the mrp system will calculate the capacity for 10 mc.but i want only 8 mc.Is there any solution for solved this problem.
Thanks

Hi Venkat,
Is Plant maintenence module implemented in your industry , if it is Implemented when ever the work center is under maintenence i,e when a maintenence work order is there , then there are some customization settings are there which blocks the machine for production this will obviously show the remaining capacity of the machines which are available for production .Let me know wheather PM module is implemented or not .
