Scheduling type - Backwards in time

Hi,
Please explain the difference between the scheduling types 'Backwards' & 'Backwards in time'.
Case 1: I convert a planned to a process order with 'Backwards' scheduling. Following dates are observed:
Scheduled finished    2009/08/06   17:00:00
Basic Finish date        2009/08/07   00:00:00
Case 2: I convert a planned to a process order with 'Backwards in time' scheduling. Following dates are observed:
Scheduled finished    2009/08/06   17:00:00
Basic Finish date        2009/08/06   17:00:00
Can anybody explain the basis of difference of behaviour.
regards,
Mohit

Hi,
Using Backward scheduling, when you create a prod order system will allow you to enter only finish date. But using Backward scheduling with time, when you create a prod order system will allow you to enter finish date with time.
You have mentioned 2 cases. Both are same.
In case1,
Scheduled finished 2009/08/06 17:00:00
Basic Finish date 2009/08/07 00:00:00
System finishes the work on 2009/08/06 at 17:00:00. This is the end of the day as per your workcenter (check in capacity header view) and basic finish shows 2009/08/07 00:00:00. This is the start of the next day also known as end of previous day.

  • Scheduling type

    Hi
    What is scheduling type forward in time and backward in time?
    How it is different from backward and forward scheduling

    Hi,
    In simple words:
    In backward & forwards scheduling the resolution is in days, so when you do scheduling it would be in terms of start date & end date.
    With backwards in time & forwards in time, the resolution is in minutes. Meaning you can specify not only the start & end dates but the time with a least resolution of 1 minute. Implying that it is more accurate.
    Instead of me writing too much, do a simple test in your sandbox, open any production order, select the scheduling type as forwards in time / backwards in time & you will notice that the time field adjacent to start & finish dates which is grey, will become editable. So for testing specify a time & do scheduling.
    Revert if you face any issues.

  • Scheduling types in PM order

    Dear All,
    Can Anybody explain different types of Scheduling types which are used in sap pm orders?And what are its affects on the order?
    1) Forwards
    2)Backwards
    3)only capacity requirements
    4)current date
    5)Forwards in time
    6)Backward in time.

    Hi,
    Forward scheduling
    When you set this indicator, the system schedules:
    Orders forwards,  based on the basic start date
    Collective orders forwards, based on the specified outline start date
    Networks forwards, based on the specified basic start date, and then backwards, based on the scheduled finish date or on the specified basic finish date
    Backward scheduling
    If you set this indicator the system schedules
    orders backwards starting from the basic finish date
    collective orders backwards starting from the framework finish date,
    networks backwards starting from the specified basic finish date, then forwards starting from the scheduled start date or the basic start date specified.
    Only calculate capacity requirements
    Specifies that the system only calculates capacity requirements.
    Use
    In production orders, the system calculates the scheduled start and finish of the order by deducting the float before and after production from the basic order dates (order start and order finish). The calculated dates are written into all operations in the order.
    In networks, the system writes the basic dates from the network header into all activities in the network.
    If you use this scheduling type, the dates of all the operations/ activities are identical.
    The capacity requirements are distributed across the period between the scheduled start and the scheduled finish.
    Costing calculates no capacity requirements when this scheduling type is used.
    Schedule from current date
    If you set this indicator the system schedules
    orders und collective orders forward, starting at today's date
    networks backwards, starting at the basic finish date, and then forwards, starting at today's date.
    Foward/Backwards in time:
    Basic dates with time of day
    You use this indicator to determine for process orders and production orders that when you enter the basic dates, you can also enter the time.

  • SCHEDULING TYPES

    Hi All,
             Please guide me to understand the following SCHEDULING TYPES will be grateful.
    In transaction "OPU3 " there is a field called "SCHEDULING TYPE"  it has several types (1) Backwards,  (2) Backwards in time,  (3) Current date,  (4) Forwards,  (5) Forwards in time, (6) Only Capacity requirement.
    I would like to know the functionality (i.e., Working methodology) with Scheduling & production orders of following SCHEDULING TYPES
    Only Capacity requirement
    Backwards in time
    Current date
    Forwards in time
    Provide me with simple example.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    Forward Scheduling
    If you have specified forward scheduling in the network header as the schedule type, you must also specify the basic start date of the network.
    The system starts from the basic start date and schedules forward in time to calculate the earliest dates of the activities and the scheduled finish first. Then it calculates the latest dates of activities and the scheduled start of the network.
    If you have also specified a basic finish date in addition to the basic start date in the network header, the system uses the basic finish date as the starting point for backward scheduling.
    Backward Scheduling
    If you have specified backward scheduling as the scheduling type in the network header, you must enter the basic finish date of the network.
    The system starts from the basic finish date and schedules backward in time to calculate the latest dates of activities and the scheduled start. Then it calculates the earliest dates of activities and the scheduled finish of the network.
    If you also enter a basic finish date in addition to the basic start date in the network header, the system uses the basic start date as the starting point for forward scheduling.
    Current Date Scheduling
    With scheduling to current date, you can see whether the network can be completed by a certain date. In this method, the system uses the basic finish dates and schedules the network backwards and then starting with the current date, schedules forwards.
    You can use the floats in the activities to determine how many days you still have or are short to make the finish date.
    Only Capacity Requirements
    If you specify capacity requirements only as the scheduling type in the network header, the system copies the basic dates from the network header into the scheduled dates and into the earliest and latest dates of all activities.
    When you have the system only calculate capacity requirements in scheduling,
              o Time constraints of the activities are taken into consideration
              o Relationships are ignored.
    Special Function: Today Scheduling
    "Today" scheduling is a special function in scheduling. In Customizing for the Project System, you can specify the number the days that the scheduled start may be in the past. If the scheduled start of a network is further back in the past than allowed, the system at first attempts to reduce the duration. If this is not sufficient, the system automatically schedules forward starting with todayu2019s date.
    It is possible to have negative float times with today scheduling.
    The backwards scheduling calculates a scheduled start that is in the past despite maximum reduction. Forward scheduling then calculates the scheduled finish, starting at todayu2019s date and using maximum reduction.
    Thanks

  • Process order scheduling type

    Hi Team,
    While scheduling the process ord (COR1) , with scheduling type"No scheduling", when we enter any future date in schedule start & finish date, system changes these dates to "future date-1" & time to 24:00. We need that system should not change the date provided by the user ie keep the date as provided by the user.
    Awaiting your suggestions,
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Jack

    Please refer following notes, 151503
    In that
    In-house production time is larger than 0 days:
               For material-related orders, the system interprets the order finish date as a requirements date for the material. Therefore, the following rule applies: If an in-house production time greater than 0 days has been defined in the material master, the requirements date is at the beginning of the day, that is, the order finish date is set to 00:00. In this case, the order finish date of the production finish date differs by one day from the order because the production must have already been finished on the previous day so that the material is available at the beginning of the next day.
    With an in-house production time equal to 0 days, it is assumed that the material can be produced at any time of a day. For this reason, the order finish date is set to 24:00

  • Scheduling type for production order.

    Hi Gurus,
    i have some doubts about production order scheduling. i have run a scenario OF MTO to Understand The Scheduling. i had created a BOM with  two components. The inhouse production Time of header Material is 3 days.and the scheduling Margin key is op2   flt aft1  flt bfr 1    rl per 2
    after creating a sales order i had run MRP in MD50 by selecting scheduling 1 Basic Date Determination. it has taken the 3 days of in house production time and praposed dates.18th as starting date and 20th as finish date.and planed opening period is in past. and it has not praposed any scheduled dates in planned orders.
    if i convert the planned order in to production order it is praposing the scheduled dates.
    scenario 2.
    if i run the mrp for the same order by taking scheduling type as 2 lead time scheduling.       in planned order itself it is showing sheduled start date and scheduled finsh date. (which not shown in basic date run).
    1.so is it mean that what ever the scheduling type we are using in MRP run is only applicable to create Planned orders only while convrting the planned orders in to production order dates will be re detemind. is this currect or wrong?
    2.in which scheduling type system will not consider the scheduling margin key?
    please help me to understand these questions.
    Thanks&regards,
    Venkat Bolla.

    Hi Venkat,
    When MRP is run with '1' Basic Scheduling - Schedule Margin Key is not considered. As you rightly observed it considers the Inhouse Production days mentioned in materials master for fixing the start date. This is exactly to days.
    When MRP is run with '2' Lead Time Scheduling - Schedule Margin Key is considered. Dates are calculated from Routing and Capacity requirement calculations are also done. Here calculation are exact to the seconds.
    Schedule Margin Key takes effect only for lead time scheduling. Production dates are calculated from the float times of the SMK in the material master and times from the individual operations maintained in routing.
    When planned order derived from Basic scheduling is converted to production order it is subjected to lead time scheduling and thus production dates are calculated
    Refer to the below discussions on the same topic.

  • Restrict Output type at the time of Picking and Print after PGI

    Hi All....
    My business requirement is to restirct certain Output types such as LD00, LD0F etc. at the time of Picking and Batch determination and to print after PGI.
    These output types are triggered Automatically via Batch job scheduled via third party tool. All the complete Delivery process is Auto.
    Once Sales order is created the below process takes place.
    Auto Delivery
    Auto Shipment
    Auto Picking and Batch determination (Now in this step I need to restrict)
    PGI (Manually vai some custom program)
    Once the Picking is done all the Output types appear in Delivery Header output which are processed with a Dispatch time of 4. (Appeared as Green tarrif.)
    For the Output type LD00 -> 911 routine is added .
    This routine is triggering at the time of Picking and Batch determination.
    At this Point of  Picking I can restirct the output type by using the Routine that not to display in Delivery Header,  but iam not able to retrieve again at the time of PGI. Is there any option  to get the data of Output type at the time of PGI.
    Or is there any option for LD00 output type to dynamically select the Routine Number to trigger at the time of PGI. ( If I use Routine no 1 it will trigger at the time of PGI, but I cannot change especially for this purpose since this output type is used for multiple purposes)
    Pls provide me the solution.

    Hi Brad
    I can copy the code from routine #1 into my routine #911 inorder to restirct the display of output type in delivery header. But as mentioned by you this routine is not triggered at the time of PGI. ( I checked at the time of PGI )
    If i link my output type LD00 with Requirement #1 routine then it will be triggered at the time of PGI, but here the o/p is linked with Requirement #911.
    Pls let me know if any thing wrong i mentioned...

  • Energy Saver Schedule is backwards

    Hello everyone,
    Does anyone have an issue with their schedule being backwards? I have my computer set to start up or wake everyday at 6:00 am and to shut down every day at 11:59 pm. I used to go to sleep knowing my computer was turning off and get up in the morning to have my computer - ready to use... but now for some reason, when I go use it in the morning, I notice the shutdown window is up stating that the computer is about to shut down unless I cancel. That should've happened at 11:59 pm. So, it seems that the computer is backwards somehow.
    Is this a known bug with BootCamp and the fact that the Windows partition changes the clock? Once I reboot into OS X, the time auto corrects because I have it set automatically, so I'm not sure if thats correct or not?
    Thanks in advance!
    -JD

    Test failed.
    See my  iTunes Alarm 213 in Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger > Discussions for details of many failed solutions.
    Somehow Energy Saver/Schedule failure is linked to recent failure of iTunes Alarm 213. It awoke my computer and played a radio station for several months but recently starting asking for admin password which it then rejected as incorrect (even tho password was OK elsewhere). Password change failed to solve problem. Would using AppleJack and CleanMyMac help? Using an OS on a maintenance CD to use Disk Utility/Repair Disk?

  • Network Scheduling type

    Hi
    I have maintained network scheduling tpye as backwards in OPU6 and also maintained as "backwards" in control parameters for WBS scheduling. This is meant for both template project and operative project/network profiles.
    I have created a template project with WBS heirarchy along with network activity scheduling types set as backwards.
    Now while "including" the template project in an operative project, the system copies all the WBS elements and network activities from template project. However, the network schedulihng type is coming as FORWARDS, instead of "backwards".
    Can anyone suggest what could be the problem here??
    Best Regards
    Srikrishna

    Hi,
    your cust. is correct.
    activating check box for template profile data while copying the project hopes will resolve the issue.
    if the check box is active it copies the data from profile or else it copies data from the project which you copy.

  • Hide views in MM01 for all material type in one time

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to hide the views for all material type at at time.
    i tried with OMS2 , it is allowing me to do for one matrial type.
    could any one tell me how to hide the views for all material type in one short.
    Thanks in adv..

    Hi Rakesh,
    Up to my knowledge it is not possible to do view setting for all material type in one shot simply because it is material type dependent.
    If trying to change fields in material master then use OMS9. This also material type linked to field reference group. And we can change the setting of field selection group in one shot. This will affect the material types linked to it.
    Hope it helps

  • Condition Types appearing two times in a Purchase Order

    Hi,
    The condition types are same in supplementary schema (for Info Record) and Purchase Order Calculation Schema. When I put some value against a condition type under conditions in Info Record then that condition type appears 2 times in the purchase order. It seems the condition type appears 1st time (with value from Info Record) because it is picked from Info Record and 2nd time (with no value) from the Purchase Order Calculation Schema.
    The requirement is condition type should appear only single time in PO (by default) with or without value in spite of having info record. In case some value is maintained in Info Record then the condition type should appear with value but in a single line in PO which can be edited if required. There should not be second line of same condition type by default in PO.
    Can anyone provide some idea to resolve this?
    Thanks in advance

    There is only 1 condition line (apart from PB00), which comes 2 times in PO by default, in MEK2 and also one condition line (one line was deleted and then saved) in last PO (from the Info Record). But the condition type still comes 2 times while creating a new PO.
    Please provide some more answer to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance

  • Creating a step type "launcher" that would insert the appropriate built-in or custom step type at edit time

    Hi everybody,
    I'm looking for tips, pointers,directions... to be able to perform this operation in TS 4.0 sequence Editor, if it's even possible...
    I'm managing a test system with a "home-made" virtual instruments abstraction Layer complementary to IVI classes for instruments which do not have classes defined, customizing the sequence editor accordingly for developpers of my department.
    So basically when the instrument is IVI, the developper uses the built-in IVI step-type type and when it is not, he uses the the custom step types that I developped for this particular class of instruments.  
    However there are classes where I do have both IVI and specific drivers available and I do need to use both in the test sequence.
    For example let's say there are two sources of DC power available in the testbench, one being a programmable IVI compliant DC power supply, and the other one composed of fixed "blocks" of DC power supply managed by externals relays and you need to use them both in the test sequence.
    What I would like to be able to do in the sequence editor is inserting the appropriate step type at edit time just by selecting the source of power supply (by a ring or enum for eg), and if the first ressource is selected, it inserts IVI step type, and if the second ressource is chosen, it inserts the appropriate custom step type.
    Any Ideas on how to accomplish this ?

    Hello Cyril,
    Here is an idea that could be done:
    You could create a dynamic step by having a step that holds all the properties for both configurations (the superset of the necessary variables) and an extra one that indicates which 'mode' the step is in.  Then you create the main Edit substep in whichever language you desire.  That substep window will then have a box/dropdown/etc. at the top you can use to choose between modes A & B.  When the user changes the value, you would dynamically change the rest of the window to contain the appropriate properties for mode A or B.  You then copy the property values in that window to the Step properties, and copy the mode to your variable and you can run the step in that mode.  When the step then runs, it checks the mode variable, and depending on its value, it will run the step in mode A or B.
    Now we could add a dialog that allows us to choose when we put a step down but we should still allow the user to change later via the Edit substep we create.
    I don't think we can create something that inserts a completely different step, but we can have one step that has the ability to do both and we can pick which one we execute.  Also note we still don't have the ability to edit the Panels for a step, so we have to use a new window that we call from our Edit substep to complete the step.
    Hope this helps.
