Resource in SNP

Hello Gurus,
What is the relevency of the fileld maintained in the resources as (cheak mark) Not-SNP-Rel. While maintaining the resources in SNP. Or it will be maintained for single-mixed resources only and not for multimixed.
Full points for answer
Please Help.....
Thank You,

Hello Harish/Ian/Patrick,
Thank you for your responce.
In our scenario we are maintainig 4 capacity categories in R/3 of which one is maintained for scheduling in capacity header and for rest capacity categories they have maintained as relevant for finite scheduling, and can be used by several operations for all cap. categories. Which r CIF ed to APO and showing relevant for Finite Sch. as in R/3. But here in APO they have not cheaked the cheak box for not SNP rel. In that case how system will or will not plan on these resources.
We are not using CDP.
Please brife about SNP PPM generation and this cheak box relation.
Thank You,
Amol Chavan.

Resource "NOT SNP RELEVANT" not working

Hello All,
We are having Multi mixed resources in APO. These resources do not have "NOT SNP Relevant" flag set. So they show up in SNP PPMs when we convert from PPDS PPMs.
We now want to remove resource from SNP PPMs and hence deleted the SNP PPMs and marked the resource as "NOT SNP RELEVANT". We again converted PPDS PPM to SNP PPM but we still the resource coming in SNP PPM even after checking the flag in the resource.
Has anyone come across this issue?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Sanju

Kumar,
This helped solve this problem. I maintained the flag in all the planning versions and it worked fine.
I have another PPM for a different plant and the problem here I am facing is even when the "not SNP relevant" is unchecked the Resource is not seen in SNP PPM when converted from PPDS PPM. It is a multi-mixed resource.
I am wondering if it a setting in the resource that would be causing it to drop from the SNP PPM. Any idea what could be the possible reasons.
Thanks,
Sanju

Multiple Resource in SNP PPM

Hi Experts,
I have scenario where bottleneck resources changes with time. Lets say that I have two workcenters WC1 & WC2. Operation 10 will be performed through WC1 and operation 20 will be performed through WC2. SFG1 is input material for operation10 and FG1 is output material through WC2. So SFG1 will be processed through WC1 & WC2 and output material is FG1. Operation 10 & 20 are sequential operations. WC1 & WC2 have the same scheduling time for both the operations 10 & 20
Now, WC1 runs in three shifts in May'10 and WC2 runs 2 shifts in May'10. So WC2 is bottleneck resource in May'10. In June'10 WC1 runs in two shifts and WC2 runs in three shifts so WC1 is the bottleneck resource in June'10. Simply, bottleneck resource can be either WC1 & WC2 depends on time.
So in my routing I have two operations and operation 10 contains WC1 & operation20 have WC2. Further, we created Production Version (PV) and CIFed as PPM. When converting PP/DS PPM to SNP PPM I can chose only one mode so only one work center (resource) in one PPM and another work center in another PPM. We need both workcenters in one SNP PPM.
Could any one guide to meet this scenario.
Thanks,
Naveen

Mapping labour as resource in snp

Hi ,
any idea if labour can be mapped in SNP as resource? how can it be done?
Regards,
Illford

Hi Illford,
Define labour/person as a capacity category and define a workcenter/resource in R/3.
then use this in the Routing and assign products and create a Production version for it in R/3.
when you CIF this data to APO, you will have PDS/PPM for the same.
Now, when you have planning data for this product in SNP Planning area and planning book, you can make selection on this resource or labour in the Planning table.
Let me know your set up. hope it is clears.
Thanks,

SNP Resource available capacity variance

Hi friends,
need your help??
I am using an SNP resource with capacity 500 min per day(Bucket). but after thew SNP run when i download the optimizer log data( Transaction:/SAPAPO/SNPOPLOG) the available capacity derived from the log is for the particular day is different than the actual capacity of the resource(i.e. it is less than the actual available capacity).
How can be this issue resolved.??
please revert back urgently

Hi kiran ,
Check for the following possible reasons :
Try this resource in SNP Heuristic and check the capacity and do levelling.
Check the Time zone and the calenders for this resource and plant.
Check the overload % and min load % rounding & down times.
See oss note 510339.
Optimizer gives the results based on the settiing you have entered,and you will only be able to analyse it better .

Capacity Leveling in SNP SCM 5.0

Hi,
I want to use the SNP heuristic followed by capacity leveling in order to enable my customer to check capacity requirements in terms of machine and people resources. The particular requirements are:
1. no backward/forward capacity leveling
2. level the capacity across alternate resources
I don't see how I can do 2 without doing 1. I haven't seen a parameter about the number of days allowed in backward/forward leveling (which I would set to zero or to a low number e.g. 2 days)
Best Regards,
JL

I dont think you should be using the standard capacity levelling functionality at all if you are not going to level it forward or backward
What you need to think of is planning using Aggregated resources.
In a nutshell you creatae new header resources that are of capacity equivalent to your resources plus alternate resources
Do SNP plannign on the aggregated ( header )resource
Level or trim any excess capacity requirements (levelling wouldve done this for you but you got to specify the direction)
Disaggregate to the member resources based on some disaggregation rules (or you can customize this)

SNP Heuristics to generate planned orders

Hi all,
I have the demand in months for five years & once demand came in i take Heuristics to generate the Planned orders.I have a specific requirement for a specific location Heuristic that SNP Heuristic should generate planned orders only in month of January to March for all the five years.
I am using SNP PDS .The PDS do not contain resource.
Can you suggest a good solution for the above?.
thanks
Kumar
Edited by: Kumar on Jul 22, 2008 10:39 PM

Hello,
1) SNP PDS Does not contain resource?
SNP pds contains resourse in line with PPM. Please check the Resource definition. It may not be of "Mixed type" hence SNP pds is genertaed w/o resourse.
Plz modify the resource definition & generate PDS afresh.
2) Order creation for limited period?
You can control this by using Factory calender assigned to resource or putting doen time for the period for which you want to restrict order generation. Hence Orders will be generated for the period for which resource is workin

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.

Capacity Consumption in SNP planning book

Hello,
Can anyone explain what drives the calculation of capacity consumption KF in the planning book.
Here is the example.
1) I have a Resource whose SNP bucket capacity of 90,000/Hr = 450000/Wk
2) I created a PP/DS PPM for one product from ECC and then converted it to a SNP PPM
3) There was no resource assignment in the SNP PPM. I then manaully assigned the resource (in step 1) to the PPM.
4) The material consumption on the SNP PPM is 37 per HR
5) The variable bucket consumption on the resource within the SNP PPM is 1 per hr.
Now I created a planned order of 4440 for the finished product in the SNP planning book manually (behind the scenes the heuristic run was carried out obviously).
On my capacity view, the values i see are:
Available capacity = 450000/Week (which is clear since its 90,000 * 5 days/week)
Capacity Conusmption = 6845
Resource capacity level in % = 1.521 (which is 6845/450000 * 100).
The only question is how is the Capacity Conusmption value populated by a value of 6845?
Please provide me your input gurus.
Thx,
Vishy
The idea is to create oneresource and assign it to multiple SNP PPMs so that the capacity situation on this resource for various products could be analysed.)

DEAR GURUS,
*There is a question regarding the resoucre consumptions relevant to PDS in SNP,*
****The inputs are:****
****1) Base Qty= 7700 TH****
****2) Set Up =45 MIN****
****Resource consumed by operation activity is 112 207 seconds = 31,17 hours.****
****Unfortunately we didnu2019t understand how this figure is calculated.****

Error in APO Resources"'No unit of meausre was found for selected resource"

Hello APO Expetr forum,
IN APO resource i am not able to see any Bucket capacity in SNP Bucket capacity tab. its grayed out and blank. when open the resource with you version then i can able to see Bucket capacity.
So her how can i update the SNP Bucket capcity for the resource. Because of this issue i am not able to load resource in SNP Planning Book under capacity view. Getting error message as 'No unit of meausre was found for selected resource'.
Pleae suugest what could be the reason. i suspect only because of Bucket capacity problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Deviprasad

Hello DeviPrasad,
Please check the type of the resource. This should be a single Mixed or Multi Mixed resource to maintain the SNP capacity.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Converting PPDS PPM to SNP PPM

Hello,
On converting a PPDS PPM to an SNP PPM which has multiple activities(operations). Is there a way to generate the SNP PPM the same number of activities included in the PPDS PPM to capture one Resource for each SNP PPM. Or it has to be converted multiple times?
Thanks.
Edited by: Wilian Segatto on Aug 18, 2010 3:19 PM

Hi,
Below is an example:
PP/DS PPM A
Activity 1 - Resource A
Activity 2 - Resource B
Activity 3 - Resource C
If PP/DS PPM is set-up like the example above, can this be converted to 3 different PPMs for the 3 different resources in one conversion? Or i would need to do the conversion three times to generate the SNP PPMs (examples below)?
SNP PPM 1A
Activity 1 - Resource A
SNP PPM 1B
Activity 1 - Resource B
SNP PPM 1C
Activity 1 - Resource C
SNP PPMs are set-up per resource to monitor utilization and capacity per resource. Also, resources are set up per production line in ERP.
Thanks

Supressing non work day messages for material requirments on Work orders

Message CN687, pretaining to delivery date of materials takes into account the factory calender/nonwork days of the calender associated to the plant. This message pops up for every material line item on a work order, One could understand how involved it can be if ther are a number of materials on a work order, as you would have to enter passed each warning before continuing.
Is there a way without preforming a mod that will allow us to supress this message on the work order side. Supply chain still wants to see it, however maintenance does not?

Hi,
As per my understanding your planned order is scheuling for 2 days.Check teh capacity view in the std plang book and check the date on which the capacity is being shown.IF the same is not showing on 15th then the problem is with scheduling not with capacity load.
Also check the factory calendar assigned to resource master data.Check the date 15th on the bucket capacity on resource master SNP bucket capacity view.If the same is showing as working day then the master data needs to be changes.
Hope this can help.

kaushik

PPMs in APO

Hi,
I have a basic question with regard to PPM.I have 2 workcenters A and B in which i can process the same product. Following are the possibilities in R/3 and APO.
1. I have defined workcenter B as alternative to A using classification system. I have defined the Routing in R/3 with workcenter A and transferred to this APO. Now i have PPM for this material with two modes A and B.
2. I defined the Routing with Workcenter A and maintained alternative sequence with work center B.When i transfer this Routing to APO, system creates a PPM with alternative modes A and B.
3. I have defined Routing with two group counters with different base quantities. one group counter with with workcenter A and another group counter with workcenter B . When i transfer these (these are two production versions), it creates 2 PPMs in APO.
What is the difference between 3 and above(1&2).
When we run the MRP Heuristics in PPDS with finite planning,system will check the alternative resources also,if the primary resouce is not having capacity. Similarly the system should check alternative PPM2(resource B) also if PPM1 (Resource A)has no capacity.
I believe we define 3rd case if the processing of the base qty ( and if lot sizes also different) is different in different work centers.That is 200,000Kgs qty can me machined in 24 hours in Workcenter A and 350,000Kgs qty can be processed in work center B. Is it correct?
Please comment.
Thanks
Aktar

Hi,
In step 1 and 2 you created alternative resource. And in step 3 you created alternate routing / recipe.
If you are using both SNP and PPDS then creating alternate resource helps as PPDS can change the resource after SNP in PPDS optimizer run.
But if you use alternate recipe then you wont be able to change resource in PPDS as SNP will decide which recipe to choose and subsequently PPDS will follow it.

SNP Planned order not following resource bucket capacity/factory calendar

Hi gurus,
SCM 5.0
I am running SNP heuristics for a product and expecting planned orders for it. It has corresponding production data structure and multimixed resource. The resource has an assignd factory calendar and SNP bucket capacity. The bucket capactiy availablity dates of the resouce is consistent with the factory calendar workdays/holidays. Using simple lot for lot strategy, I am expecting heuristics to schedule the planned orders on the dates of the demand in compliance with teh SNP bucket capacity availability of the resource. APO does not schedule on holidays consistent with bucket capactiy. This is true until...
We have a public holiday in factory calendar that needs to become a workday. To remedy this, we put a special rule for the factory calendar and explicitly made that holiday into a workday. The changes were synchronized with APO, and this is also reflected in the bucket capacity of the resourc: former holiday now has bucket capacity after the calendar change. However, when running heuristics, it still does not create SNP planned order on that former holiday that has been changed into workday. Even if it is a public holiday, there is already a special rule for the factory calendar and the resource bucket capacity reflects this correctly. But SNP heuristics seems not to follow this change.
Any ideas on this? looks like a bug.

Hi Edgar,
Yes, when your resource reflects the addional capacity of the holiday turned working day, then it is expected to be considered for the SNP planned order.
Instead of SNP heuristics, you may try to check interactively in SNP planning book, if manual order creation in the bucket works out.
Since this is a mutlimix resource , it can also be checked if in PPDS planned order can be created on the day.
The above checking may not solve your problem , but will get to know if at least manully the bucket is being considered or not.
regards
Datta
