Regarding workcenter capacity and scheduling

Hi Experts,
I have created a workcentre and maintained all formula's for each activity in the workcentre.Now what I want is that, while confirming the activity , If workcentre gets overloaded beyond tolerance limit then it must issue a warning message and wont allow us to confirm that much activity.
Case 2:
If capacity is overloaded then the timeframe also should mave accordingly as automatic scheduling.
your valuable suggestion would be highly appreciated

Hi,
Work center capacity and activity confirmation both are different entities and this is what I guess. Please correct me if wrong.
Let me put it this way...
Work force is assigned at work center level which let you know the total capacity being maintained at referenced work center. If some one asked me about what is the capacity of work center A, then my reply is 64 hours/day (10 persons with 8 hrs each and performace 80%). Thats how we derive the capacity of WC.
Now coming to Activity confirmation: for example you have planned hours of 100 on NWA and keep confirming periodically. When you cross the limit of planned 100 hours system gives a warning that activity is already confirmed (I mean reached 100% of planned work) but still allow you confirm beyond planned hours.
In combined view of WC and NWA, system never gives any kind of warning message even if you going beyond the planned hours on NWA.
As Mahendra pointed out, capacity evaluation and levelling being done manually and there is no automated process available unless you have developed program which takes care off.
Case2: Capacitiy overloaded or underloaded, capacity levelling to be performed basing on available capacity at work center level by manually.
The time frame adjustment (I assume you are talking about automatic scheduling), if activity confirmation is less than the planned distributed value, whenever system schedules automatically and let you know ETC (Expected time of completion). for that you have to select the automatic scheduling check box at NWA.

Different tabs and formula in workcenter for capacity and scheduling.

Dear All,
I wanted to have a logical explanation for why we use different formula for capacity req calculation and scheduling.
why we need 2 tabs for this in work center.
As per Std SAP formula, except the tick of capacity generation and allowed for scheduling in customizing.. rest is same.
when we level the capacity also ultimately we are scheduling the operation or order.
Thanks

Raghu,
The amount of capacity consumed is not always the same as the schedule. You have to allow for the times when the formulae are different.
For instance, consider the case when you have multiple capacities, and you practice order splitting. The formula for capacity might be Machine time * operation quantity / base quantity, but the formula for scheduling might be Machine time * operation quantity / base quantity / number of splits.

Dear Hemamashewararao,
Welcome to SDN !
As per rules you need to raise only one query as per one thread
Coming to your first query
As per business requirement formula will be defined
The most important difference between Capacity formula and scheduling formula
In SPRO
for scheduling formula tick mark will be marked for scheduling where as for capacity option tick mark will not ticked
For capacity formula tick mark will be marked for option capacity where as for scheduling option tick mark will not ticked
Currently i am not in front of SAP so i couldn't give you path
Good Luck !!!

Report on Workcenter performance, capacity and requirement

Hi All,
Could any one tell me how to build a report on workcenter performance and workcenter requirement and Capacity.
Is there any standard cube available for this? I already checked 0PP_C03 and 0PP_C13. I'm not sure whether these will suffice or not?
To calculate that I need to know how to calculate -
Forecast work,
Dispatched work,
Undispatched work,
Backlog Recovery,
Short fall/Excess,
Internal Resource and
External ResourcePerformance(Overdue/Scheduled),
% of Activities which r in progress & with in schedule time and
% of Activities which r in progress & for which time is confirmed ( with respect to System status)
Does anyone already worked on this? Or could you please suggest me how to calculate the above.
This is an urgent requirement.Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
isha

Hi Sirisha,
I did work in PP functinal area sometime ago.
We had this kind of requirement,but achieved this through custom development.
Rightnow, the businesscontent is the good step to understand.
I suggest you to approach this as follows:
Take some PP orders, display some of them ..look at the the dates on the order..see if there are confirmations against orders and so on. look at operations and work centers..scrap percentage..so on
then go to RSA3 in R/3 side and give the PP extractor name, look at the key figure values and PP orders, thats how we can link what is in bus.content and our requirement.
If you have any questions, you may ask.

Capacity formulae and Scheduling formulae

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the difference between the formulae given in Capacity tab and Scheduling tab of work center. If i am right the schedulling formulae is used to get the schedulle dates and time when process orders are created...Why do we give different formulae for different capacity category and where is the output of these formulae can be seen or whatare its uses...?
Regards,
Joseph.

Dear Joseph,
In my understanding while assigning the formula for capacity it should only contain the base quantity, operation quantity and the
machining time for performing an operation.So without considering the no of spilts(no of capacity) the system should calculate the
capacity required to perform an order quantity.
In the case of scheduling normally we have to assign formula that allow for operation splits,
Machine * Operation quantity / Base quantity / Operation splits,so in the case of scheduling the system should consider all the
capacity available(no of machines) and propose the timings accordingly.
Eg: For producing one product the operation time is 8 hours and there are 2 such capacity (machines) available which are running
for 8 hours a day.So available capacity = 8 + 8 hours and now producing 2 such product the capacity req = 16 hours and now
for this the system should propose that on the same day we can produce these 2 quantity considering the no of capacities = 2.
Check and revert

Capacity requirement and scheduling process

Hi Experts,
please explain me how capacity requirement and scheduling (please explain with configuration settings) will help in SAP PP.

Dear
Capacity Requirement Are those Which is used For Operation And Calculate the Time with help of Dervied Formulas
for instance i take an Example To Describe so that u get clear Picture
Ex: Suppose i have machine Drilling u assume that Drilling machine as a one capacity under capacity catergory
here to operate this i need to make my machine set up first then machine time i need to arrange a labour
so total i required Setup Machine Labour so Here in sap we define a standard value key with all these combination and there we will assign formula for HOW Much to Produce so on...... and in turn it is assigned to control key to perform all the Actions.....
Scheduling : Scheduling is Nothing but to sechedule Right time at Right job This helps in shop floor to over come overload on machines.scheduling used in
scheduling for Production orders
scheduling for Planned Orders
scheduling for Plant maintainence Order
Configuration :
1. Capacity Requirenemnt ;
SPRO>>>production >>> capacity requirement >>>> Define capacity catergory
2.Capcity planner
3.Define parameters OP7B
4.Assign this to OPCM
Scehduling
1. go to OPU3

Question regarding SAP note 765494 and Scheduling agreements

In a SAP ECC 6.0 environment has anybody dealt with note 765494? It appears that the changes allow the user to change shipping data on stock transfer scheduling purchase orders using the ME22N screen (Enjoy) but not the ME32L scheduling agreement change screen. Does anybody know of a work around to change shipping data on a stock transfer scheduling agreement?

Hi Mahesh,
A contract is a type of outline purchase agreement against which release orders (releases) can be issued for agreed materials or services as and when required during a certain overall time-frame.
Contracts are of two types:
1. Quantity contracts - Use this type of contract if the total quantity to be ordered during the validity period of the contract is
known in advance.
2. Value contracts - Use this type of contract if the total value of all release orders issued against the contract is not to exceed a certain predefined value.
But a scheduling agreement is a form of outline purchase agreement under which materials are procured on predetermined dates within a certain time period. A scheduling agreement consists of a number of items, for each of which a procurement type is defined. The
The following are the procurement types:
- Standard
- Subcontracting
- Consignment
- Stock transfer
Delivery of the total quantity of material specified in a scheduling agreement item is spread over a certain period in a delivery schedule, consisting of lines indicating the individual quantities with their corresponding planned delivery dates.
Contracts and Scheduling Agreement transaction codes:
Transaction codes:
Contracts: ME31K to ME35K
Scheduling agreements: ME31L to ME35L.
Please award if helps!

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

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.

Capacity Vs Scheduling

Gurus,
A very basic one.
In Work Centres, both the capacity view & scheduling view have similar formulae (such as setup & process time etc.)
Pl. let me know application wise, what is the difference between both the views(Capacity & Sheduling).Is there a need for both of them simultaneously?
regards,
K.Kumar.

Hi Kumaran,
capacityview:
Normally here we will give the available capacity of work center for ex: say Lathe. Here in this view initially we will give the formulae to calculate the cap requirements , then system will ask about the availbale cap of that perticular work center i.e., its cap utilisation, no of ind capacities, time....etc. During production order creation , due to the help of these formulae that u specified in cap view of work center , system will calculate cap requirements. This u can see in T-Code CM01.
Scheduling view:
Normally here we will give formulae to calculate operation start time and operation finish time for routings.
This view is used only for scheduling of operations.
Hence we will give respective formulae in above two view for cap req calculation and scheduling of operations.
Hope clear to u.
Regards,
Imran

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,
DB49

Creation Profile in Scheduling Agreement and Schedule LIne

Dear Experts,
Currently I'm working on Scheduling Agreement and Schedule Line.In standard SAP gives the provision of creation profile.I've gone through the SAP help documentation but I'm not clear on that.I've few doubts on creation profile.
1. I've created a profile say XXXX for 14 days JIT and 6 months Forecast.And I maintain the same on Scheduling Agreement additional data.
2.I'm creating delivery schedule respect ot Scheduling agrrement.
3. I maintain the aggregation horiozon in creation profile as 10 days daily aggregation for JIT and 120 days for monthly aggregation for forecast.
4.I run MRP for the header material and I maintain the necessary SA number in Source list.
5. After MRP run I'm not getting the respective schedule lines for JIT and Forecast.
6. What is the use of creation profile in Scheduling Agrrement and schedule line and is it determine ant schedule lines after MRP run.
Please clarify me on creaion profile.
Thanks in advance

Dear Experts,
I'm not getting any response regarding Creation profile which I posted last week.
Can anybody explain me the use of Creation profile in Schedule line?
From Standard SAP help documentation I'm not convince.

Capacity in scheduling agreement

Hi,
The documentation says we can assign transportation capacity and vendor capacity in scheduling agreements in ECC. Can you tell me which field in scheduling agreements are related to transportation capacity and vendor capacity?
I am new to scheduling agreements so please be a little elaborate.
Thanks.

Hi,
For all of your queries;
ME01 - Maintain Source List for the materials
Here maintain, Vendor, Plant, Purchase Org, most important input Scheduling Agreement No in Agreement column and in "MRP" column, use "2" i.e. Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically
Now run MRP and observe the result, it will consider Scheduling Agreement in MRP.
