Resource Capacity Utilization Question

Hi, Please let me know if the following scenario is a possibility.
We currently maintain our capacity utilization at 90% for any resource and the same number is carried over to APO with CIF. The requrement we have is to set this utilization to 100% for the rolling current date+3 months and 90% outside the 3 month horizon. I know that the dates can be specified explicity but I don't know if the rolling 3 month is possible. Please let me know if this can be achieved via config.
Thanks in advance.

Dear ,
I would request you to post the thead in SDN APO forum .
I do not think so there is a scope of this requirement in SAP R/3 but APO PPDS can give you a solution for the same .

Resource capacity utilization report

Hi,
Is there any standard report for Resource capacity utilization after SNP run.
Any standard extractor/data source is available to build the report?
Regards,
Krunal

Hi Krunal,
1) The report /N/sapapo/cdps_rept should be sufficient...use the selection restriction to 'restrict ' by Rosurce,Time period--In the output ofthe report,yuou would see 'bucket consumption',relatively on the Right side..
2) I would urge you to read the note:1296446 too
Thanks and Regards

Plant /Resource Capacity utilization & dowtimes

Hello Experts,
Iam looking to develop a BW-KPI report for plant loading % utilization where i need to analyse the breaktimes,downtimes,and max available production times of a resource from the PPDS plan data for next 1 year .
Iam looking if anyone has got a similar requirement implemented and want to know your approach .
Did anyone used "Plan monitor" in APO to solve similar kind of requirement?
Regards
Roa

Hello Roa,
try transaction /SAPAPO/CDPS_REPT.

Resource Utilization Question

Hi, Please let me know if the following scenario is a possibility.
We currently maintain our capacity utilization at 90% for any resource and the same number is carried over to APO (SCM 5.0) with CIF. The requrement we have is to set this utilization to 100% for the rolling current date+3 months and 90% outside the 3 month horizon. I know that the dates can be specified explicity in R/3 but I don't know if the rolling 3 month is possible. Please let me know if this can be achieved via config or master data setting in APO.
Thanks in advance.

Phaneendra,
To maintain the capacity utilization (Variable) time based. You can use the interval planning in ECC and then you can CIF this intervals to APO. Before you setup the intervals you need to perform one CIF customization activity in CFC9. Using the external capacit. Check(X) this field in ECC.
Step 1: In CR01when you are creating the work center under the capacity tab and you maintain the capacity category (Machine/Labor). Then Click on Capacity header.
Step 2: In capacity header you maintain the interval. Before this you select the Active version (1) under Available capacity.
Step 3: Click on intervals, there you can maintain the from date and to date. Define the number of intervals you requrie.
Step 4. Click on intervals+Shift there you can call the defined intervals and maintain the capacity utilization what you require for business. Also you can add intervals in this screen by clicking on insert intervals.
Step 5: After you are done you need to click on APO resource (this step is very important),which you can see top right corner under capacity header. Here under header data for APO resource you select the type of resource multimixed/single mixed (SNP) or mulitactivity/single activity (PPDS). In the same screen you need to maintian the factory calendar and active version under the available capacity.
After you are done with all the steps now you can CIF the resource as external resource to SNP. The intervals you maintained in ECC is visible in capacity profile in SNP resource transaction. This how you maintain the time based capacity utilization. It is bit tricky while maintaining all the fields. Do let me know if you have any questions.

Changing Capacity Utilization for selected days before and after a CTM Run

I have a number of resources with their respective capacity utilizations. I am running CTM which requires the resource utilizations for all the resources to be at 100%.
Can I do that with 2 capacity variants for the resource with 100% and X% utilization and switch them as and when required. My Problem is that when i create a capacity variant from say date A to date B .. the period between these comes as blocked. Is there a way to correct this.

Capacity utilization rate (percent)

Experts,
If I set up a shift 6:00:00 to 14:00:00:00, length of breaks 00:30:00, cap. util. 100% I get 7,5 hr Operation time / Capacity.
If I reduce the cap. util. to 80% and leave the start-, end- & breaktimes as they are I get 6,0 hr Operation time / Capacity.
My question is how does the reduced operating time influences the start and end times/dates in regard to scheduling ?
I am Looking for the logic behind.
Thanks in advance
Jörg

Jorg,
Capacity utilization is more frequently used with referance to viewing available capacity against requirements on CM01 screen.
It helps determine if there will be a capacity overload due to capacity inefficiency.
For ex. On Cm01 screen for Work center say W1, if a production order requires 7.5 hours to complete an operation on W1
& if Cap ultil=80% at W1, system will show that order with RED overload view as available cap is reduced to 6 hours.
However if your using finite scheduling then this cap util rate would be cheked to determine scheduling.
You control the capacity availability check and the finite scheduling with the help of the overall profile that you entered in Customizing for the availability check.
Hope this gives you some insight on this concept.
thanks,
Ram

Capacity Utilization by network activity for each period

Hi all,
How do i find out the capacity utilization at the network activity level. My requirement is to findout the remaining requirement/capacity of a workcenter for each period, which will be the cumulative value of the non utilized resources/hours for the previous months, based on distribution key.
The same functionality is there in CM07, but what is the exact functionality and how it can be reimplemented in a report?

Hi,
Check if table KAKO helps. You may have to calculate the remaining capacity from available and utilised.

SNP - Capacity Leveling question

Hi All:
I am trying to do Capacity leveling in one resource and for one material.
After CIFing the material, resource, location and BOM (PDS), I entered some forecast for the specific material in DP and released it to SNP.
Then I ran the product heuristics and when I looked at the planning book 9ASNP94 and Data View SNP94 I noticed that the capacity utilization where more than 100 % in some periods.
Next I executed the 'Capacity leveling button'. and entered the following parameters and executed.
Combined Scheduling
100 % max util
Product priority
Ascending
Heuristics Method
All Relevant Resources
In the Log checked all the three options
The log comes out as follows:
Green status on Resource and Parameters
Yellow status and 'Resource xxxx not used in any PPM/PDS'
Red status Resource utilization
I checked the PDS for the resource xxxx and i found it to be there.
When I go back to the Capacity view the leveling has not happened.
What am I doing wrong? Pl. help.
Thanks
Narayanan

Hi Narayanan,
I think there should be any issue. I hope You selected the data view snp94(2), and loaded your resource in the planning book. then You executed the 'Capacity leveling button' in the planning Book, Right? Try without checking the 'consider alternative resource' check box, and dont give any priority in your capacity levelling profile.
Thanks,
Satyajit

FM / Bapi to read capacity utilization

Hi,
Is there a BAPI to read capacity utilization for a product-location combo? Or do we have any other means?
regards,
shan

if what you mean is the Capacity utilization of the resources...
you can see the utilization in the planning book 9ASNP94 capacity view
you can extract this using the BAPI for Planning book
there are other ways of extracting this too :
You can also use /SAPAPO/CDPS_REPT - Order and Resource Reporting
or in the planning board by choosing the Evaluation >> Resources
sure of a BAPI but some of these reports might give you a clue about the FM used

Report for calculating capacity utilization and Efficency

Hi,
We are following REM in our company. The production line is defined in the production version. While backflushing the production line is called automatically and hence backflushing is done.
We calculate the capacity utilization by using the formulae.
Capacity Utilization = (Backflushed Qty/ Available capacity)*100.
My queries are:
1. Is there any standard report to determine the capacity utilization of a production line.
2. Is there any standard report to calcualte the efficency of a production line.
waiting for reply.
With regards,
Afzal

Hi afzal
1. you have mentioned ; Available capacity = Std.time per piece * no. of working hrs
Let me explain with example
suppose per piece if it takes 10 mins, now according to your formula
A.C = 10* 24 * 60 = 14400 per day, but which is not correct
normally if 10 mins/ peice means 6 peices/hr and for 24 hrs 24*6 = 144.
so it must be A.C = no. of working hrs / Std.time per piece.
2. You have mentioned = capacity utlilised = total Backflushed qty per day., which means you are caluculating capacity utilization based on input material.
3. Utilization = (Avaliable capacity/ Capacity utilised) * 100
suppose let us consider Available capacity per day =100
capacity utilized = 50
Utilization = (100/50) * 100 = 200%, which is not correct it should be only 50%
Here my main doubt is why You are caluculating capacity based on input material.
Please explanin me you business process and whats the exact requirement so that I can help you out.
Please check the formulae

Work centre capacity utilization

Dear guru ,
i have a work centre that always work in the same moment for 3 different production order.
If my total daily available capacity is 11 hours for my 1 individual capacity is right that I assign to the work centre a capacity utilization of 300 percent in order to have a daily available capacity of 33 hours and I can use capacity levelling in the best way ?
Or there is other better solution for solving this problem ?
Thanks for your help.

you can also put no. of individual capacity as 3.

Storage bin Capacity utilization is greater than 100%

Hi,
Via LS03N, I can found that some capacity utilization is greater than 100%, this must be incorrect, what's the reason? is there any report to update the capacity utilization for storage bin?
Kindly please advise.
Thanks

For the capacity checks, the remaining capacities or the used weight in the storage bin master data are updated with every putaway or picking. If you change the inspection method in the current operations or you change capacity or weight data of materials or storage unit types, you then need to make a comparison of the data. You can make this comparison with report RLS10200. First read the documentation before you start the report.

Employment percent and Capacity Utilization Level

What is the significance of the Employment percent field on infotype 0007 and the Capacity utilization field on infotype 0008? Are either one of them used by the Payroll processor to determine salary and net pay if the CATS time system is not implemented?
We want to pay part-time monthly employees, for example, at 80% of their salary if they have an 80% work schedule. We do not wish to change the salary, but can't figure out how these percent fields would change their pay. They don't seem to in our testing.

If you are using Indirect valuation of wage types & Specyfying Reduction Method as 2 in wage type characteristics , the Amount is reduced According to the capacity Utilization specified in IT 8 .

Break the link between IT0007 and IT0008 for Capacity Utilization Level

Hi Gurus!
We have a system that connects the field "Employment Percentage" from IT0007 with the "Capacity Utilization Level" from IT0008. That means that every change in the Employment Percentage changes also the percentage in the Capacity Utilization level.
Our idea is to disconnect those two fields and make them independent, because the HR Department preffer to introduce this information manually twice (once in each infotype).
Do you have any idea of how I should do that?
Thank you in advance!
Abel

I know what it means... The problem is for what they are using this infotype.
For them IT0007 has the schedule of the person, and the percentage can change (<100% means part-time employee)... but in IT0008 they WANT ALWAYS the 100%, because for them this percentage is based in how many hours of all the hours informed in IT0007 the employee worked.
In other words, if the employee has a Work Schedule Rule of 8 hours a day, but he is contracted part-time for only 4 hours a day, In the IT0007 he will be informed with an Employment percentage of 50%, but in the IT0008 he will have a Capacity Utilization Level of 100%, because he will work the 100% of the hours informed in the IT0007 (the 4 hours informed in Daily Working Hours).
I know it is a little bit confusing, but it's the way they are working now... probably in the future they will correct their processes, but now we must adapt to their requirements and work in this way.
Any Idea will be welcomed

Capacity Utilization Level on Basic Pay IT0008

Can the capacity utilization level be automatically set based on the weekly/monthly/yearly hours of the work schedule rule? For example, if 100% capacity utilization is defined as 2,000 hours per year and the employee's work schedule is 1,500 hours per year I want the percentage to be automatically set to 75%.

The problem is that a full time employee would work 1,950 hours per year (7.5 hours per day, M-F). We have defined part time work schedules that may be 6 hours per day, M-F, or 1,560 hours per year. The ratio of 1,560 to 1,950 is 80%, but when I assign the part time work schedule indicated above, the planned working time Employement percent for the work schedule is 100%. This means the 100% refers to the work schedule with a total of 1,560 hours per year, not 100% of the 1,950. I would like the capacity utilization to be set based off the planned work schedule hours in IT0007 compared to some fixed full time hours amount (like the hours value in V_T510I)
