Resource Consumption

Question

Hi,
We are using CTM to create PP/Ds order using PP/DS PPM, we have used Multimixed resource in the PPM definition.
The number of capacities defined is 3 and available time is 24 Hrs, so total available capacity for a day is 72 Hrs.
Now when we are planning for demand of 72 KG with throughput as 1Kg per Hr, the system should schedule the order at the start of the day and complete the order in one day assuming that 100% resource capacity is available.
But when we take the CTM run it is creating a Planned Order which occupies the capacity of one resource for 3 days, i.e. it occupies only 1/3rd capacity and remaining 2/3rd capacity is idle.
The expected result for me is that the system should consider the total available capacity irrespective of the no of capacities defined for the resource and create one planned order even if it occupies multiple capacities for the same resource
Can anyone please suggest how I can consider single capacity for multiple resource of same type using CTM and PP/DS PPM.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjog

Sanjog,
I have never done this in CTM, but in PP/DS you achieve this with splitting the orders across resources (work centers).
In ECC, in the routing, in the detail of the operation, set the 'required splitting' flag, and then set the number of splits at three (CA02).
Re-cif across (in order to eliminate confusion, it is probably best to delete the old PPM in APO first).  Now, in your PPM, you will see in the PPM operation Mode, the Fixed continual consumption is '3' and the variable duration has been reduced to one/third of the original value.
