Resource classification in APO

Hi,
We use resource classification (Class type 019) in resource.
Once this resource is sent to SAP APO from ECC, is the class 019 visible in APO?
If yes, where? I do not see it in transaction CL03 nor in resource view in APO.
Is it visible in PDS somewhere? or somewhere else? or it is not visible?
If it is not visible, then if I write any object dependency using those resource classification (019) characteristics values, is there possibility in APO to get the same? Will the same OD, work in APO that is assigned in recipe?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Surajit Das

HI,
Thank y0u for the reply.
We are going to maintain one resource specific characteristics value in the resource classification. This characteristics value will be used to calculate of standard values via object dependency while order creation. In OD, we will get the value of the resource classification via variant function.
But since the classification (019) do not exists in APO, we will not be able to derive the value in APO.
Thus I need this class (019) in APO. Is it possible to get?
Thanks & Regards,
Surajit Das

Integration Model - Resource Transfer to APO

Hi,
When i transfer a resource from R/3 to APO the data is transferred to APO but not to the active version.
Instead it sits in APO as model independent version i.e without a version number.
Please let me know how this happens and how to overcome this ? I want the data to be available in version 000
BVN**

Hi Valavan,
I assume your issue is related to only the changes made to R/3 Resources and not for new Resources.
There is a customizing setting in R/3 to control this. Use trns. CFC9 and set the value 'N' for the 'Change Transf. Mode field. This will ensure any changes to Resource in R/3 will also be released to 000 version in APO. If the value is 'X' the changes are released only to model independent version.

Resource category in APO

Hi there ,
I am still not very much clear about the differrent resource catagory viz. single, single-mixed , Multi-mixed , bucket etc.
Can any please help me in understanding the pros/cons & salient points of each one ...
Thanks
Kaushik

Hi Kaushik,
1) Only one activity can be carried out at a time in a single-activity resource.
2) Several activities can be carried out at once in a multiactivity resource.
3) The term "Mixed" is used in PPDS
4) Single mixed resources correspond to single-activity resources in PP/DS
5) Multimixed resources correspond to multiactivity resources in PP/Ds
6) Resource in Supply Network Planning, which has a quantity-oriented capacity that you can plan on a daily basis (periods or "buckets").
Salient features:-
Depending upon the scenario and module/business requirement, each resource
will be selected for use.
Resource selection also depends on the nature of work center they use at
execution level at R/3
Resource category is decided on R/3 master data of work center
In mixed resources, the capacity of individual resources are grouped and then
planned
In Single resources, each individual capacity of resource is getting planned.
Hope it is clear now.
Please confirm

Changing mode priority of transfered alternate resources in pds

Is there a user exit or badi that can change the mode priority of the alternate resource that is CIFed from r3 to apo.
As it is all the resources have the same mode priority when it is CIFed.
Thanks,
CY

Hi Ian,
The note you specified seems to indicate the use of alternate sequences in r3 routing to transfer alt resource.
In my case i was using the resource classification method to transfer the alt resource.
I also looked at the related notes but don't seem to find one related to using resource classification OR maybe i am wrong in that both the alt sequence and resource classification method is the same?
Thanks for the info anyway.

Master recipes operations not getting transfered in SNP PDS to APO from R3

Hello APO Gurus,
I am trying to transfer SNP PDS for master receipes from R3 to APO.
Issue description::
The operation is not getting transfered correctly , some system default operation "010 generated Operation (from Planned Delive)" is getting generated in APO, also activity and resource capacity is not getting transfered. This situation exist for one plant 1000, for other plant 1100 the SNP PDS created correctly.
i have following points:
1. Is there some customizing setting missing on R3 or APO side for plant 1000 tbefore SNP PDS transfer
2. What need to be checked on master recipes data in R3,
i have checked on below points
1. FG Materials and all the Component Material to be in APO in a Active Integration Model.
2. BOM & Routing and Production Version setup correctly.
3. The Routing Operations have to Relevant to 'SCHEDULING'.
4. Try deleting the existing Integration model for materials & re-create new IM & activate.
Please help me to send SNP PDS correctly to APO to take heuristic run.
Regards
Gajendra
Edited by: Gajendra_APO on Aug 23, 2011 1:14 PM

Hi,
It is good that you have given your already checked points.
Please check the following things also and try to retransfer the PDS.
1. Check your resource in ECC, whether you have maintained the Process formula.
2. Check you have maintained some values in Master Recipe for processing time
3. Check whether the resource has been transferred for your plant 1000 to APO and an active IM exists.
4. Also check the type of the resource transferred to APO. It should be a single-mixed/ multi-mixed or bucket resource.
Hope this will help you to solve the issue.

Capacity leveling log showing duplicate information for Resource

Friends,
Need one help.
When I am looking into the Capacity leveling logs, I see duplicate information for every Resource. There is no difference in the information regarding resource utilization (before/after). For every resource we are getting this duplicate records in the logs. Sometime there is one difference on timing, (when the resource was processed by the background job.)
Text . Details . Current Date . Time
Resource W10_U0JA_001
Parameters
Resource utilization
Resource W10_U0JA_001
Parameters
Resource utilization
There is no difference in details resource utilization, yet resource are shown two times, for every resource.
We are on SCM 7.0 . Is this standard? if so, then why?
Can you please share your opinion/thoughts. Thanks a ton.
Satyajit

Hi Satyajit,
This can happen because of resource setting in APO.
You need to check the following:
Bucket definition
Resource utilization
Time Zone
You should check also the "Time-Cont Capacity" tab details where start, end and break time is maintained,
You should also verify the "External Capacity" Tab data
There is no other reason apart from that.
You can also check the PPMs which are using this resource and some setting in PPM modes and other operation data.
If it is okay then possibility you need to check the model and version assignments.
You can remove the version assignment and delete the resource and again CIF it to APO.
Possibly it will help.

Vishal

Alternative Resource in CTP

Hi SAP Experts,
My current customer wants to use CTP to give a feasible date for Sales Order Schedule Items when entering the sales order. Is it possible to consider alternative resources (by using alternative sequences or resource classification) when entering the sales order? So the system would propose a shorter availability date in case preferred resource is fully loaded but alternative have some unused capacity.
Thanks and Regards
André Val

Hi Andre
You can obtain good planning results with finite scheduling on a time-continuous basis when it is used with block planning . This is always the case when the capacity requirements of the setup activities make up a large part of the total capacity requirements.
The following prerequisites must be met:
You are using a strategy profile with settings for time-continuous CTP .
The plan (PPM or PDS) contains only one resource to be finitely planned.
The blocks are defined on the resource. The planned orders created by CTP are scheduled in a suitable block with free capacity. The capacity requirements can be taken into account for sequence-dependent setup activities. The CTP check finds the correct dates in predefined setup cycles.

Available capacity in APO

Hi,
I have a resource for which the PLANNED DOWNTIME has been maintained as 12 hrs a day for next few months
On top of it, the FACTORY SHUT DOWN (this has been picked from the fact cal) has been maintained in the CAPACITY PROFILE in APO
Logically speaking I should now see AVILABLE CAPACITY as 12 hrs in the capacity profile in the Resource
But I see sometimes as 12 hrs and some times as 3 hrs in the capacity profile in the Resource
and in the planning book I am seing the available capacity as '0'
Kindly share your interpratation , how do I look into this issue to fix
Thanks,
SS
Edited by: SAPSriman on Dec 7, 2010 8:40 AM

Hi,
First check if the same resource in APO is maintained as external capacity or not.If the same is activated then check the resource capacity in ECC.Check the intervals and shifts.
If the same is not true then check the capacity profiles and the avalable capacity versions maintained in resource master in APO.
Since from factory calender resource blocking is only possible for at least a day so any availble hours is basically for resource blocking.
Check the shift sequence.If your shift sequence is cross period the 3 hours can be coming from previous period.
Hope the points can help you.

Multiple Resource Planning in PPDS

Hi Experts,
We are running PPDS for our Production Planning. Business scenario is we have 2 PPM's , and in the PPM's input materials and Resource is different( So, we can not use different Mode) Now, when executing PPDS, system picks the PPM by which availibility date can be met, which is correct. So, if i am running PPDS for a month horizon, system always picks the same PPM always and as MRP run is infinite , system does not check the capacity of the resource also.
Now while running scheduling heuristic ( SAP001), system schedules the orders on the resource to the full capacity and if in the time horizon orders are more than the capacity, system deallocates the orders, instead of shifting the orders to the other PPM.???
So, in real scenario, i have one resource which is free and sitting idle and another resource is on full load and extra orders are de-allocated.
Has anyone encountered this situation??? Please need your guidance and help.
thanks,
Priya

PPDS heuristic does not consider alternate source of sulppy (PPM & PDS) , try to meet the business requiremnt with resource classification in R/3 , means single production version with multiple resource.

No bucket consumption for resource , operation, activity

Hi,
i know i am missing something really basic but i am not able to put my finger on what i am missing out.
Issue :
I am trying to CIF across SNP PDS from ECC 6.0 to SCM 7.0 system. Two PDS are failing with the error message "No bucket consumption for resource , operation, activity"
Things that i have checked :
1)     The resource has valid definition u2013 using the APO resource button in the capacity definition, a bucket capacity has been created.
2)     Workcenter has been cifed across and resource created. i am able to see the bucket capacity in the bucket capacity details in the SNP Bucket capacity view of the resource
3)     Checked the control key and it is a valid one for capacity and scheduling. Also checked the formulas in the workcenter and they generate valid values for setup and production time.
4)     Valid values entered for setup and maintenance in the routing.
Is there something else that I need to check please? What am i missing?
Regards,
Karthik
Edited by: Karbalas on May 6, 2011 4:18 PM

Thanks DB49.
It was a school boy error. I was CIFing across the resource as multi mixed using the APO resource button in the R/3 capacity definition but i forgot to mark the "Several operations" button and the individual capacity was set to 1. This had caused the issue in resource definition in APO

PPM .vs. PDS

Hi all...
Can you say me the differences between the PPM and PDS?...
Can you say me the functionalities covered by PPM and PDS?...
Thanks in advance for your help.

Check out Note 1079959 - PDS VS PPM differences
Functionalities supported by PDS and not PPM
Engineering change management
Differing from the PPM for SNP, the PDS for SNP is transferred directly from ERP and is not generated from the PP/DS-PDS.
Subcontracting in SNP is fully integrated with ERP
Rapid Planning Matrix supports only PDS and not PPM (in combination with ERP-DIMP).
Class nodes are supported in PDS but not in PPM
Variant tables are supported in PDS and not in PPM
Variant functions are supported in PDS and not in PPM
Model-Mix-Planning (MMP) is supported in PDS and not in PPM.
NET indicator is supported for PDS in 5.0 but not for PPM
Major Limitations of the PDS to the PPM
 Product flows are not supported in PDS
 Alternative modes for the PDS can either be created using alternative sequences or resource classification but not both.
 Time-dependent parameter (can be transferred to the PDS using a BADI).
 Overrule the synchronization setting of the resource on activity level
 Cost fields are supported in PPM and not in PDS (however they can be implemented via a BADI).
 SNP Bucket consumption fields with PP/DS-order are supported in PPM and not in PDS (however they can be implemented via a BADI)
Differences in Modeling
Phantoms are transferred explicitly (in difference to the PPM where the BOM of the phantom is already exploded on the ERP-side)
If subcontracting in PP/DS is modeled like in ERP (i.e. the production takes place in the plant) it is Sufficient to transfer the BOM to APO . In this case no production version is required on ERP-side.
This is however not supported by SNP.
For Multi-level ATP the transfer of the BOM is sufficient as well. In this case it is possible to use the goods receipt time as a workaround for the order duration.
For the generation of a SNP-PPM from a PP/DS-PPM it is possible to exclude components and Operations by setting the flag #not SNP relevant' in the product master respectively. In the resource master this can be done for SNP-PDS via a BADI (/SAPAPO/CURTO_SNP method CIF_IMPORT)
For the transfer of alternative sequences to the PDS the BADI CUSLNTRTO_ADDIN has to be implemented (example coding in note 357178). For the PPM the User-Exit CIFPPM01 had to be implemented according to note 217210.
Support strategy
Further developments will be done only in PDS . However SAP will continue to support PPM .

PPM & PDS

Hi, all
what is the different between PPM and PDS ? what their usage in different scenario
pls advice

Hi
The following planning functionalities are supported by the PDS but not by the PPM:
u2022 ECM for PP/DS (including the use of phantoms)
u2022 Subcontracting in SNP is fully integrated with R/3
u2022 Direct transfer of SNP-PDS from R/3
u2022 Use of object dependencies in APO
u2022 Order-BOM and WBS-BOM
u2022 Rapid Planning Matrix (in combination with R/3-DIMP)
The following planning functionalities are supported by the PPM but not by the PDS
u2022 Maintenance in APO. Since it is neither possible to maintain the PDS in APO nor are there any
BAPIs, it is only possible to use the PDS in combination with R/3.
u2022 Push-Production
u2022 Container resources
u2022 Alternative modes for the PDS can either be created using alternative sequences or resource classification
but not both.
u2022 Time-dependent parameter (can be transferred to the PDS using a Badi)

Dyanmic work center selection in production order based on material

Hi ALL,
We’ve a business requirement to support the following functionality.
There are four similar type of milling machines say MILL1 MILL2, MILL3, MILL4, we create a single work center called MILLMC by specifying total capacity of four milling machines in the capacity header screen of work center with 4 individual capacities. And we mention work center MILLMC in the operation of routings for respective materials.
However, during production order creation, there needs to be provision for detailed planning of work centers as per the following requirements
In production order, some operations can be performed on any one of the machines MILL1 MILL2, MILL3, MILL4, so provision needs to be there to enter exact machine on which it is performed in the production order operation after the details are copied from respective routing during production order creation.
In production order, some operations can be performed on only MILL3, so system should select only MILL3 in the respective operation of the production order
In production order, some operations can be performed on either MILL1 or MILL2 or MILL4 and not on MILL3, so system should not select MILL3 in the respective operation of the production order.
Please provide your valuable feedback to support the above requirements.
Regards,
Satya.

Hi Satyanarayan,
Please do refer to the below document. I think the same concept can be used for work centers as it is used for resources in PI industry.

Missing operations and dummy activity in process order

Hi,
we currently maintain several alternate modes in PP/DS PPMs in APO.
When we create a planned order in APO, CIF to R/3, then do conversion to process order in R/3 everything is fine.
When we create a planned order in APO, CIF to R/3, then do conversion to process order in APO, all of the operations are missing and there is a dummy activity present.
We also noted this only occurs when the mode selected in APO by default uses a different resource than the one assigned to the PPM's recipe back in R/3. That is, if the recipe in R/3 uses resource LINE_01 and APO selects resource LINE_02 by default, the issue occurs.If the recipe uses LINE_02 and the APO selects LINE_02 by default, then everything is fine.
Has anyone seen this behavior before ?
Thanks,
Roger

Hi Visu,
For right now, the planned order is created in the product view.
In R/3, the recipe has an operation which uses LINE_01 resource (let's say, production version is L1)
In APO, there are several alternate modes :
LINE_01
LINE_02
LINE_03
By default, when the planned order is created in the product view, the mode with the shortest duration is chosen. In this case, if I create a planned order using the PPM for production version L1, and LINE_03 happens to have the shortest duration, then the order is created for LINE_03. Since LINE_03 is not the resource used in the recipe for production version L1, we run into the issue I mentioned previously.
Coincidently, I also noticed that the R/3 process order type is set to schedule automatically.
When I go into edit mode on the process order operation, make no changes, but then save the order the correct resource and operations reappear in APO.
Regards,
Roger
