PPDS Planning board - PM Resource Vs Production Resource

Dear Experts,
I have question regarding capacity Leveling in PPDS
For Instance I have Resource A in production and also same Resource defined as Resource A in Plant maintenance
Now there is Break down in Resource A and have maintenance order in ECC
Does PPDS will pick this overload in the planning board
Please explain how PPDS is used in such scenarios
if you need more clear explanation please let me know
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
Maintainance order is integrated with APO as downtime. SO maintainance order will come as downtime on a resource in APO.
If there is already order scheduled during this time in APO it will not get rescheduled to some other time. But if are running some detailed scheduling heuristics such situation will get corrected.
There is also BADI avaialble where you can enable automatic rescheduling using follow up actions

Error- PPDS Planning board -Heuristic 'Adjust and Reschedule Block Limits'

Hi,
I have created a sales order in ERP and overload (within tolerance) a block of a block planning enbaled resource in APO. The block is overloaded.
Then I've run the "Heuristic 'Adjust and Reschedule Block Limits'" under Functions-->Heuristics.
Now i expect that the overload disappears. But I get the message "Heuristic 'Adjust and Reschedule Block Limits' - Executed without result".
Could you please suggest why the Heuristics is not working? Has any setting been missed or set wrongly?
Regards,
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
Please use the following pathway.
1) Transaction code spro
2) Click on "SAP Reference IMG"
3) Menupath:- SAP SCM Implementation guide > Advance planning and optimization >

MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) - Show operation status in Planning Board

Because the current MRS thread is some long and complicated I chose to move this question into a seperate thread:
Initial question:
Like many companies, it is not unusual at my customer for their Planners to create orders with multiple operations, particularly since many orders require different crafts to perform the work. When the Planning Board is launched and Planners lok at work scheduled for the past week they want to be able to see at a glance which operations have been completed and which operations, perhaps from the same order, have not and may need to be rescheduled. Their preference is to select "final confirmation" when using transaction IW41 and thereby set the operation system status to CNF when the work on an operation has been completed. They then want to somehow use this CNF operation status to drive something visual in the graphical Demand layout display and Resource layout display to enable the Planner to see at a glance that the operation has been completed. I've tried several approaches with configuration of abstract statuses and the user interface profile without success. My customer's interest in being able to see the completion status of an operation in the MRS Planning Board makes a lot of sense to me. I'm hoping someone can help me with a technique for modifying the Planning Board so that it displays the completion status of an operation in a visual way.
Response from Varun Verma:
Hi Mark,
The problem at your customers end is nothing new.
What you can do ( many other customers have done it in similar way ) is:
1) you integrate the status CNF into MRS.
Check the customizing: Basic Settings -> Assign ERP Objects -> Status
2) configure in MRS that for status CNF, the assignments and demands (only in item work list or Hotlist) is colored to GREEN (or any other color)
Check customizing: Set Up Scheduler Workplace -> Workplace Profiles -> Define User Interface Profiles
Thus the users will know visually, that the green colored assignments are already completed.
By the way, in your work list you can also filter the demands based on their status
Regards
Varun.
Followup question:
Varun,
Thanks for the response. I thought I had tried this but perhaps it's because in the UI profile I had not entered something in both the status groups for assignments and the status groups for demands. I have a bit more testing to do but it appears that the demand status now gets updated from the operation status of PCNF (linked to abstract status WORK_START) and CNF (linked to abstract status WORK_STOP). I also get a red bar (C4) for PCNF and a green bar (C1) for CNF. Do you have a better status group I should be using in place of C1 and C4? Status groups C1 and C4 give me a bar but it doesn't look like the demand bar with a outline and alphanumeric description of the demand, it's just a colored bar.
I know the work list can be filtered based on their MRS "planning" status, however, it doesn't appear to permit filtering by the status of the operation unless I add the operation status as an additional field in the worklist. Is there something I'm missing here? And even if it did, my customer wants to be able to see the CNF status indication in the Demand layout and schedule using the work centers so the worklist is not being shown like it is in the Resource layout.

Hi Mark,
Well I assumed that you have confirmations integration active !! But I guess not because you say that the status is not integrated always.
What you need to do:
1) I assume you have SP05 or later.
2) Implement the user exit: CONFPM05. In the implementation of this exit you need to call FM: /MRSS/RSG_PM_ORDER_CONFIRM
3) Go to customizing: Basic Settings --> Assign ERP Objects --> Status
-- Here, define an abstract status (MRS Status) for confirmed and partially confirmed
-- map it to R3 status CNF and PCNF.
After this, whenever you enter confirmation for PM order from transaction IW41, the status will be integrated.
Now you can use the MRS statuses defined in step 3 to configure the colors.
Implementing the user exit CONFPM05 might require some technical input. But it is easy. Just a few double clicks and copy paste.
Contact an ABAP developer for the same.
This should solve your issue.

MRS: PRT Tool Resource does not appear in Planning Board

Hi Experts,
I am trying to perform tool assignment but somehow the tool resource does not appear in the planning board. I have the following set up:
- Tool created as both material and Equipment (category P)
- Equipment assigned to work center linked to Org Unit
- Order with operations created with PRT assigned
What I am seeing in the planning board:
- I can see the operation with the linked PRT
- I can see the HR resource under the same work center Org Unit
- However, I cannot see the Tool resource.
Am I missing somethng here? Any kind of pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Jk

Thank you for your response, Varun.
I do have the equipment work center set to be the same as the operation work center. Also, when I try to add the PRT manually in the planning board, I get 2 error messages:
"Resource is not available"
"Selected equipment 0 is invalid"
Have you encountered this before?
Thank and Regards,
jk

MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) - Manager Planning Board

My understanding of the MRS Manager Planning Board is that it will only display those orders that have operations that have been assigned to a resource. If true, this would mean that the Manager Planning Board would be of little value to an organzation that is only using MRS to schedule to a work center because there would be no demand that had been assigned to a resource. It would only start to be of some value once the organization began to assign demands to resources. Is this correct? Or, do you see other value in the Manager Planning Board for an organization that is only scheduling to a work center?
I've also found that when I run the Manager Planning Board that the resources are displayed, however, I have to hit "refresh" in the Planning Board to get the orders/operations (demand) to display.
Mark
Edited by: Mark Scott on Aug 18, 2009 1:15 PM

Hi Mark,
As you already figured out correctly that the Manager planning board displays the resources (in display mode). It displays all the information about the resource: Its availability and assignments. since assignments are displayed, obviously the (related) demands are also displayed.
If the fine grained planning ( planning at resource level ) does not happen, then obviously it does not make sense to use the manager planning board transaction.
PS: As the name suggests this transaction is for managers who are not authorized to change anything but only for display. So they will see the resource availability and assignments in this transaction.

Varun

MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) - Displaying Planning Board

I've gotten the MRS planning board to function the way I want it in my sandbox, for example, when I run /MRSS/PLBOTIME the all the resources show up that are in the planning node the resource planner is assigned to and all subordinate resource nodes. Also, the demand shows up. I thought life was good. I've now moved to my development box and configured the system the same as sandbox (to the best of my knowledge).
Now when I run /MRSS/PLBOTIME:
1. I get a popup window telling me that there are several valid resource planning nodes and requiring me to select one.
2. While the resources show up the demand does not.
Now when I run /MRSS/PLBOSRV:
1. The demands I selected show up but none of the resources do.
As I mentioned above, to the best of my knowledge, the MRS configuration is the same between the two boxes (e.g., work center types properly assigned, resource planning nodes and evaluation paths as delivered, user interface profiles, /MRSS/SGE_PN_MNT, etc.). I can't figure out why the popup window is now showing up asking me to select a resource plannng node and, more importantly, why in one case the resources show up but not the demand and in the other the demand shows up but not the resources. The only way I can now get both demand and resources to show up in the planning board is by running /MRSS/PLBOORGSRV.
Mark
Edited by: Mark Scott on Aug 13, 2009 8:58 AM

Thanks for the response:
/MRSS/PLBOTIME -->
1. What I had seen before in two other systems is that the org.units that are associated with me as the Resource Planner would show up, as well as all other subordinate org.units, both resources and demands. In this system what I see is that the demands associated with subordinate org.units are not showing up, only the resources. I went into another system I have access to in order to confirm what I had been seeing.
2. Also, when launching the Planning Board using this transaction in other systems I had never seen a window pop up telling me there were "several valid resource planning nodes" and asking me to pick an org.unit from the list, it always just gave me the org.unit I was associated with plus any subordinate ones. (We upgraded to SP06 last night and this morning this window didn't pop up, instead it gave me the resources and demand for the org.unit I am the Resource Planner for, as well as those for subordinate org.units....weird.)
/MRSS/PLBOSRV --> Logical as you described is what I expected, however, what I was seeing was that the resources associated with the demands were not showing up. After a closer look what appears to be happening is that the selected demands are being brought into the Planning Board but no resources unless the resource has previously been assigned to the demand. In other words, resources associated with the work centers used in the operations (and their linked org.units) are not showing up in this Planning Board, they only show up if they had previously been assigned to a demand. I can, of course, manually bring in resources once I'm in this Planning Board. Is this what you meant?
/MRSS/PLBOORD --> I followed your logic of "if I am responsible for the parent org.unit then I am responsible for the lower org.units also". However, the logic escapes me as to why this only applies to resources and not demand. Regardless, as long as I know that's how it works then I can deal with it.

MRS - Resources and demands are not visible in the Planning Board

Hi Friends - I am working on the the MRSS 610. We have installed it on the our ECC 6.0 as an add-on. We have configured the system as per the configuration guide.
But when I am accessing Manageru2019s Planning Board - /MRSS/PLBOMGR , using the Organization unit, I am getting Notification saying that the resources assigned to the Organization unit are not available in the MRS.
"Resource 00000000010000000000000000000000 not yet created in the WFM Core"
The details of the Error message
"Resource 00000000010000000000000000000000 not yet created in the WFM Core
Message no. /MRSS/SGE034
Diagnosis
Resource 00000000010000000000000000000000 has not yet been created in MRS.
System Response
No assignments have been created for resource 00000000010000000000000000000000, even though, according to the organizational model, this resource is to be taken into consideration in the planning board.
Procedure
Contact technical support.
Procedure for System Administration
Create the resource in question in MRS."
I have run the Report
/MRSS/HCM_RPTWFMIF : Transfers the HR data (availability times, qualifications and the resources itself) into the MRS Basis
But even after that I am not getting the resources in the planning board.
Also I am not able to view the Demands from PM/CS orders.
I have created PM Orders and
Assigned Work centres to the operations and
assigned the Resources to the Operations.
The HR assignment to the work center is also done.
I have tried T Code /MRSS/PLBOSRV - Enter the MRS planning board using a specified order
to pull the order demand. But it is not working
Its giving following message
1004280 is not a valid demand
Message no. /MRSS/SGU139
Diagnosis
The order does not exist in MRS.
This may be because:
The order number has an invalid format.
The order does not exist.
The order is not relevant for planning and has therefore not been transferred to MRS.
The order has been deleted from MRS.
Pls help me on this.
Thanks in advance and warm regards

Hi Anil/Saurabh - Thanks a lot for your replies.
I have checked the MRS configuration as per your suggestion.
It looks fine as per the configuration guide. I have done the PM/CS integration for Orders as demand.
But the Demands are not visible on the Planning Board.
I have checked in the debugging mode what is causing the problem - It looks like
"The Database Table: /mrss/d_dem_h needs entry"
But there are no entries in this table.
I could not find any Customizing transactions or Application transactions for maintaining this table. This is an Application Table for Master and Transaction Data and its Display and Maintenance allowed with Restriction.
I could not also find any transaction for transferring Demand from ECC(R/3) to MRS.
How do I maintain entries in this table?
How do I transfer Demand from ECC to MRS?
Saurabh - I have also been not able to transfer HR Resources from ECC to MRS.
We don't have WFM Core installed in our instance. But MRS should work fine without WFM. MRS Basis should take care of it.
To transfer Employee resources i have run the Program " /MRSS/HCM_RPTWFMIF". But when I execute the transaction with the selection parameters system shows that it is processing (Clock at the bottom Status bar) but it does not shows any result or status.
So I am not sure whether it is executing the program properly.
Pls help me resolve these issues.
Thanks and warm regards

Distribution requirements planning and distribution resource planning

Hi,
In PP, is there any difference between the distribution requirements planning and distribution resource planning?
The glossary shows that they are different.
I am trying to understand the SNP DRP. Which one of the above correspond to this SNP DRP?
If there is anything like PP-distribution requirements planning, can some one please refer me any documentation.
Thank you.

DEtailed scheduling planning board - scalling of objects in the charts

Hi,
I am wandering if there is a possibility of changing the scale in the graphical planning board in APO PPDS, eg. in the resource chart. in the way that I could change the scale just for a certain period of time or one object.
for example:
the planning period choosen is 10.09.14 to 01.10.14., scale unit is hour, but the duration of some orders or operations is less than a minute. Woud it be possible to somehow change the scale just for 1 day or 1 hour within the shown period? zooming in does not help as then I cannot see the other lines that I need to look at when scheduling that specific order or operation.
thank's for any helpful hint!
br,
Wojtek

Hi Mike,
thank you for responding to my query.
I know the functionality with the right-click. this unfortunately does not help as the whole time frame is stretched-out => they cannot seen some objects, while the planners would like to strech-out only part of the shown period.
I also checked the possibility of changing the scale down to seconds cause some operations have a duration of less than a minute (timescale editor = double left-click on the scale). But the production is still unhappy. They have seen in some software such a possibility and wish the same in the graphical planning board. they want to see just part of the time frame in another scale so that the objects outside the scale remain in the same time unit but the objects within the considered time frame would be displayed in another time unit.
In the resource chart if you right-click an operation you can select the option shrink/stretch operation => I am not sure if there is sth wrong with my connection but most of the time when I click this option nothing happens. Just a couple of times while clicking on the same operation I manged to get a pop up "change operation duration" where you can define in % the new duration. but have to choose a new duration between "min and max duration" that are in this pop up zero => so I cannot change anything and have no clue where this zeros for min and max come from and in the end if that might solve my problem.

Planning board user status at operation level

Hi Guys,
Our user is not using planning board and therefore system status should not have DISP status as system status.
Now user needs two profiles in the CM07 bases on the statuses SCH and RFS.
Profile 1: For operation user status=SCH
Profile 2: For operation user status=RFS
I know how to create over all profile for planning board from the below path.
IMG>Production>Capacity Requirements Planning>Evaluation>Profiles-->Define overall profiles
Could any one please suggest me where and how to define required user statuses against the profile.
Thanks,

Creation of Order in DS Planning Board (/SAPAPO/CDPS0)

Hi all,
My requirement is i want to create order manually in DS planning board by passing product, location,resource,runlength etc.
Again i am using PPM to calculate the setup time (between previous order and the current order).
In order to get the PPM data, i am calling FM "/SAPAPO/DM_PPM_GET_PLAN" and here i pass planid to get the details.
To get planid, i call FM "/SAPAPO/SOS_FIND" i.e. to get source of supply information which includes planid
Please tell me
(1) what is planid ?
(2) How planid is this linked to PPM ?
(3) What do we mean by sources of supply? Can't we get the same info from pegid ?
(4) What is the structure of PPM ? I mean what are activities, components, alternative components etc.
Regards,
Deb

Hi Nandha / Vikas
Thanks for your input.
I am summerizing the whole concept, Please correct me and answer my questions in between :-
In order to create an order in DS Planning board manually, we need information like product,location,resource,quantity etc. (User's input).
Then we should follow the steps as follows -:
Step 1 :- Find Sources of Supply
Since this gives information like how we are going to produce or procure the product. It can be PPM or PDS or Transportation lane.
For PPM we will get the Plan id (Unique ID for PPM) and then we will get the details of PPM accordingly.
But, Please mention what about PDS and Transportation lane ?
I mean from source of supply how can we know that the product can be produced or procured by PPM or PDS or Transportation lane ? Any field indicator is there for PPM or PDS or Transportation lane? Because in my requirement, First i need to check which one is active for the entered product:- PPM or PDS.
(2) Once we know that the source of supply is PPM or PDS or transaportation lane, then we will call different FMs to get the details.
For PPM we know how to proceed. I mean using planid we can get the details.
But for PDS and Transaportation lane please mention the FM name and i/p parameters to get the details like setup group id, production rate etc.
Thnaks once again for your valuable inputs.

DS Planning Board Object Color Change according to Order Type etc.

Hi,
I want to differatiate the colors of the objects on the resource,
according to their certain propertis, for example order type,
But if they have the same status the sytem marks them on the same
color,
I went into the customizing for the BOARD Profile and color adjustments
but there are only certain criteria and I could not decide
which object type to which color,
Does anyone know anything about it?
Mehmet

Setting up the colour or Order (or actually Operations) can be quite a challenge.
Sugest you use the SAP standard, copy it and then change suitably.
Follow this in SPRO >> APO >> Supply Chain Planning >> PPDS >> DS Planning Board >> Maintain Planning Board Profiles
Here select the appropriate planning board profile, click on Chart. Select appropriate chart - like Operations chart will be a good choice.
Then double-click on the Decision Table for Graphical Objects, check the last mentioned Decision Group and Decisions.
That will have reference to Grpahical Object Id.
Pick up the Graphical Object ID and then double click Grpahical Elements from the left pane. Enter the Graphical Object Id (Planning Board Profile is already chosen).
Select the grpahical elements and click on the Detail button to see the Display Colour.
So if you need to change the Operations based on Order Type like Fixed, Deallocated, Created etc. then change the colour of the graphical object here.

Ignore PPM Mode Linkage in Planning Board

Hello experts,
I have a a burning question here..
I'm working in a project whose using PPDS PPM with more than one activities, and multiple modes (for alternative resources). In the Activity Relationship, we define Mode Linkage as '3', so whenever we schedule an operation in Planning Board, the predecessor operation will be scheduled according to the mode relationship in PPM.
There is a requirement to break the 1-1 mode relationship for exceptional planning during short term period. Without changing the Mode Linkage, can we break the relationship in Planning Board using a specific PP/DS strategy?
*Hope my question is clear enough
Thanks
Yudhia

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for the reply.
When I changed the Order Int-Rel to Do Not Consider, I couldnt move any order (inlcuding dep.orders) to alternative resource.
So now, I'm using Order-Int.Rel = Always Consider and I have the flexibility to move it to alternative resource.
But the problem is that I think it always read the Mode Linkage in PPM. Whenever I move the dependant order to it's alternative resource, the parent order will also moved accoring to mode relationship.
Whereas the requirement it to break the relationship for exceptional case.

Yudhia

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.
