Resource scope when performing capacity leveling with Optimization method

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if, when performing the Optimization method in Capacity Leveling for transportation resources production resources are validated? I am currently testing this and I found out that if the capacity variant of the production resource is no 00, 01 or 02 the system will give an error message when trying to level a transportation resource, the message indicates that there is no available capacity for the production resource.
When reading documentation in help.sap it appears to me that Capacity Leveling should only focus on the resource to be level not in other resources and in this case my transportation resource has available capacity that shouldn't be affected for master data errors of production resources...
Could somebody help me clarify this issue?, I have already open a message and they suggested me to change the capacity variant of the production resource, evidently when I do this everything works but I still don't understand why capacity leveling, with Optimization method, of a transportation resources is checking on production resources.
Thanks!
Erika

Hello Ian,
I am not talking about the SNP Optimization Run that is certainly manipulated by the constraints that you update on the optimization profile; in this case "Capacity Leveling with Optimization Method" the constraints are automatically set by the system and what I need to know is if these constraints are considering not only the resource that is to be leveled (in this case the transportation resource) but also the production resource.
Sorry but your answer does not correspond to my request, because you are talking about the Planning Optimization run and I am talking about "Capacity Leveling with Optimization Method".

Use of Planning Table (MF50) in Capacity Levelling with Production Order

Hello Experts
I wish to know that is it possible to perform Capacity Levelling in planning table (tcode MF50) with respect to a Production Order ? It is known that MF50 is used in Repetitive manufacuring to do the capacity levelling with respect to Planned orders. But in our discrete manufacturing scenario we want to use planning table to the capacity levelling with respect toa Production order.
Any clue or help pertaining to this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Jayanta

Dear ,
MF50 is does the cacapcity leveling based on mateail -run schedule order (planned order ) where as in discrete manufacturing , when you run the MRP , MRP system assume Infinite Capacity and schedule the order as per your selection in MD02(2,1,3,3,2) and then you convert those planned order to Production order .Here you checkied the Capacity in Production Order level .
In stanadrd SAP , it is not possible to use MF50 for discrete production order.
In discrete order or process order , do the caapcity leveling , there are seperate planning table available based on Over all Capacity Profile and Schedule type .This can be done in following way :
1.CM31-Production Order Wise -Tabular
2.CM23-PO wise -Graphical
3.MC88: Ruf Cut Planning
Work Centre Wise : CM21 -Graphical , CM22-Tabular Planning Table .
Make sure the below set up before you carry on the Capacity leveling :
.Define time profile in OPD2.
Define the strategy profile in OPDB
Define the Overall profiles in OPD0.
In OPJK maintained check capacity with SAPSFCG013 profile for your production order type
In OPU3 , scheduleing parametre s: Generate Capacity , Scheduling Type , Automatic Log ,Start date in Past as per your req.
In OPJU , chekc the contol tab of the scheduleing as per OPU3
In OPKP- Production scheduling paranmeters assing the overall capacity profile -SAPSFCG013 with finte scheduling tick.
Master Data :
1.Materials Master define the Production scheduler and production scheduling profile
2.Work Center - Define the capcity planner group,activate checkbox Relevant for Finite sceduling,on the capacity header define the shift timings,break timings and unit of measure,no of individual capaity, enter formula for scheduling in capacity view.
3.Routing - enter the values for the standard values. Use control key with scheduling.
Hope this will help you .

Scope when using a JavaBean with JSP

what is the meaning of this question .....?
"Which of the following can not be used as the scope when using a JavaBean with JSP? "

There are 4 scopes or areas of variable visibility in JavaServer Pages. Which of those can areas can not be used with JavaBeans?
Does that help?

Display Drill Level when skipping drill levels with rightlclick/drill tbar.

I have report in which I have a complex if (drillfilters() ....) function to print the proper label for the current drill level. For instance, if a person drills down to "Region", then the word "region " prints, and when they drill back up to National, the word "national" prints. I accomplish this by looking at the value of DrillFilters() and assigning a label based on whatever the current value is.
However, DrillFilters() the function is useless when a person right clicks the drill header and uses the menu to drill down (or up) and skip a few levels. Also, the drill toolbar will kill the drillfilters() function as well. When using either of these two methods, the value for drill filter doesnt change, or becomes inconsistant. Does anyone know of a workaround that will allow the drillfilters function (or something similar) to work....
In summary, I need to print a simple section label that represents the value of the current drill level. Drillfilters is not the total solution.

Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same question and was wondering if you ever found a solution.
Thanks!

Issue met in Capacity Leveling with tabular

Hi, guru:
I met a fascinating issue in CM22,Remain.avail.capac. fileds in the upper area is 0, so i checked the available capacity with CM01 for the correspondent day, available capacity is 14.After i creating a production order, the capacity requirement is 1.7, but the field display -1.7 in CM22. so I can not dispatch it ,showing the error with overload. But i can dispatch it in CM21. I think the problem is that CM22 gets the wrong AvailCap or doesn't get it. but i don't know how to solve it . any sugession will be appreciated,thanks in advance.

Hi Dear:
Check you Capacity utilization into your Resource or Work Center, cause many times this parameters is the reason for you issue between these two tcodes.
I mean, the CM22 take in count this parameter, but not the CM01
I hope this be useful 4U

Concept of capacity levelling

dear gurus,
can any body explains the concept of capacity levelling with t-codes.i already posted the same thread.but i require some more light.if any body explains it will be better for begginers.if anybody is having any doccuments regarding please send to [email protected]
-guna

Hi,
The following points will be useful to understand the concept of Capacity Levelling.
Capacity levelling is only relevant for inhouse manufactured products and the existing capacity over load in work center with in a plant can be overcome by shifting the operation performed on the overloaded work center to a future period where capacity is avialable by using CM22
Example :
1) An order consist of 4 opns let us suppose ( opn 10,20, 30 & 40)
2) Opn 30 is being performed on a work center " WC1"
3) Assume Capcity load on this work center WC1 is 150% (TCode : CM05)
4) Shift some of the orders in the over loaded work center to a future period where capacity is available . When we are shifting Opn30 to a future period say 15th october , this opn date will be taken as reference & for all the preceeding operations backward scheduling carried out (ie for opn 10, 20). For all the succeeding operations (opn 40) Forward scheduling will be carried out.
5) Capacity levelling by shifting the operation can be used for MTS items with out any problem. In the case of MTO we should take in to account the customer requirement date while shifting the opn/orders to a future period.

SQL Server Express Performance Limitations With OGC Methods on Geometry Instances

I will front load my question. Specifically, I am wondering if any of the feature restrictions with SQL Server Express cause performance limitations/reductions with OGC methods on geometry instances, e.g., STIntersects? I have spent time reading
various documents about the different editions of SQL Server, including the Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2014, but nothing is jumping out at me. The
limited information on spatial features in the aforementioned document implies spatial is the same across all editions. I am hoping this is wrong.
The situation.... I have roughly 200,000 tax parcels within 175 taxing districts. As part of a consistency check between what is stored in tax records for taxing district and what is identified spatially, I set up a basic point-in-polygon query
to identify the taxing district spatially and then count the number of parcels within in taxing district. Surprisingly, the query took 66 minutes to run. As I pointed out, this is being run on a test machine with SQL Server Express.
Some specifics.... I wrote the query a few different ways and compared the execution plans, and the optimizer always choose the same plan, which is good I guess since it means it is doing its job. The execution plans show a 'Clustered Index Seek
(Spatial)' being used and only costing 1%. Coming in at 75% cost is a Filter, which appears to be connected to the STIntersects predicate. I brute forced alternate execution plans using HINTS, but they only turned out worse, which I guess is also
good since it means the optimizer did choose a good plan. I experimented some with changing the spatial index parameters, but the impact of the options I tried was never that much. I ended up going with "Geometry Auto Grid" with 16 cells
per object.
So, why do I think 66 minutes is excessive? The reason is that I loaded the same data sets into PostgreSQL/PostGIS, used a default spatial index, and the same query ran in 5 minutes. Same machine, same data, SQL Server Express is 13x slower than
PostgreSQL. That is why I think 66 minutes is excessive.
Our organization is mostly an Oracle and SQL Server shop. Since more of my background and experience are with MS databases, I prefer to work with SQL Server. I really do want to understand what is happening here. Is there something I can
do different to get more performance out of SQL Server? Does spatial run slower on Express versus Standard or Enterprise? Given I did so little tuning in PostgreSQL, I still can't understand the results I am seeing.
I may or may not be able to strip the data down enough to be able to send it to someone.

Tessalating the polygons (tax districts) is the answer!
Since my use of SQL Server Express was brought up as possibly contributing to the slow runtime, the first thing I did was download an evaluation version of Enterprise Edition. The runtime on Enterprise Edition dropped from 66 minutes to 57.5 minutes.
A reduction of 13% isn't anything to scoff at, but total runtime was still 11x longer than in PostgreSQL. Although Enterprise Edition had 4 cores available to it, it never really spun up more than 1 when executing the query, so it doesn't seem
to have been parallelizing the query much, if at all.
You asked about polygon complexity. Overall, a majority are fairly simple but there are some complex ones with one really complex polygon. Using the complexity index discussed in the reference thread, the tax districts had an average complexity
of 4.6 and a median of 2.7. One polygon had a complexity index of 120, which was skewing the average, as well as increasing the runtime I suspect. Below is a complexity index breakdown:
Index

Before trying tessellation, I tweaked the spatial indexes in several different ways, but the runtimes never changed by more than a minute or two. I reset the spatial indexes to "geometry auto grid @ 32" and tried out your tessellation functions
using the default of 5000 vertices. Total runtime 2.3 minutes, a 96% reduction and twice as fast as PostgresSQL! Now that is more what I was expecting before i started.
I tried using different thresholds, 3,000 and 10,000 vertices but the runtimes were slightly slower, 3.5 and 3.3 minutes respectively. A threshold of 5000 definitely seems to be a sweet spot for the dataset I am using. As the thread you referenced
discussed, SQL Server spatial functions like STIntersect appear to be sensitive to the number of vertices of polygons.
After reading your comment, it reminded me of some discussions with Esri staff about ArcGIS doing the same thing in certain circumstances, but I didn't go as far as thinking to apply it here. So, thanks for the suggestion and code from another post.
Once I realized the SRID was hard coded to 0 in tvf_QuarterPolygon, I was able to update the code to set it to the same as the input shape, and then everything came together nicely.

Capacity Leveling - CM22 - Question

Colleagues,
We are using CM22 for performing capacity leveling functions.
1) In the standard system the Total capacity requirements (First column), are updated based on confirmation. We noticed that
only confirmaton yield is posted, the capacity requirement is deducted. However, we would like to know if capacity requirements can be deducted, just by confirmin the operation hours alone.
2) In the standard system, the Total capacity requirements incudes all the time buckets against an operation and sums it up as requirement. Therefore, if you have setup time, processing time in an operation both are added to the total capacity requirements and displayed. We would like to consider only processing time and not include setup time in to the total capacity requrements field.
If any of you have modified the total capacity requirement field on CM22, I would appreciate your thoughts and inputs on how to go about doing this.
Thanks,
PKV

Hi, I didnt get your 1st question correctly. please elaborate.
For point No-2, From a business prespective if you dont want to capture setup time in ur capacity reqmt, then you should'nt be entering the same in the work center. For some of the clients we have used only process time so that we can plan actual capacity reqmt. But in those case, the setup time was negligible when compared to process time.

Capacity Leveling Or Tabular Mettod

Hi Experts
Can any one tell me About the capacity leveling or tabular method And how we used it in our day to day scenario.
Rgds
Pankaj Agarwal

Hi Pankaj,
Normally in domestic projects very less usage has been seen for Capacity LVl. but by the Tcode CM25 you can use this form of levelling. CM25 is tabular capacity planning board where you can see the capacity requirements laid against the planned orders or work centers. After visualizing the plan you can better evaluate the capacity requirement. But it is mainly used to priortize the operations in std. practice.
There as the board you can select the plaaned order and via allcaote and Deallocate buttons you can take these operations. And finnaly you despatch it them to upper tab of the boards as yr firm capacity load.
Pls try it. It is a very good tool,
Rgds,

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

Issue with Capacity Levelling-CM25

Hi Everyone,
We use CM25 for capacity levelling.
Issue:
Total Capacity req. = 186.8 Hr
Available Capacity on 01.01.2012 on the resource = 380.2 Hr
Now when I try to dispatch the capacity req. for a planned order manually on 01.01.2012, system distributes the capacity-
Distributed   Period
        5.0    31.12.2011
      23.8    01.01.2012
      23.8    02.01.2012
      23.8    03.01.2012
      23.8    04.01.2012
      23.8    05.01.2012
      23.8    06.01.2012
      23.8    07.01.2012
      15.6    08.01.2012
    186.8
But we want to dispatch capacity say on one particular day or split it onto two different days i.e. 90 Hrs on 01.01.2012 & 90 Hrs on 02.01.2012. Is it possible? If yes, how?
Additional Information-
Capacity Defination in resource-
No. of indiv. cap.   16
Operating time       23.76
Capacity             380.16
Relevant to finite scheduling
Thanks,
Parashar.

Hi Amol,
Thanks for your input.
As I have said I already have Capacity more than what is required.
Capacity Available per day: 380.2 Hr
Total Capacity Requirement: 186.8 Hr
I am trying to know that whether what issue has been raised is possible to solve in Capacity Levelling & How.
We are not maintaining shifts in SAP at present.
Thanks,
Parashar.

Infinite scheduling with capacity leveling.......

Hi there ,
If we go for infinite scheduling & then after MRP run go for capacity leveling ..........
then will we get the same effect as finite scheduling .....
Please suggest me
Regards
Kaushik

Hi Kaushik,
If my understanding is correct, you are asking for the difference between manual and automatick despatching of orders in capacity levelling?
when we set finite scheduling in capacity header view of work center, and run MRP with scheduling parameter 2 set.
In capacity planning the availabile capacity will be compared with the required capacity and the load will be depicted as a graph or in table format. This only gives the load situation against the period.
For this the despatching of order will be done manually based upon the load per day by a scheduler in capacity levelling.
And to add more,
In R/3 finite scheduling is not there and this is drawback and APO was put in front for this purpose.
Can you confirm me whether the system automatically levels the order or despatchs the order in finite scheduling.
Best Regards,
Sendil
