Sequential scheduling of orders in capacity leveling

Dear All Hi,
I working on capacity leveling where in the clients want the following requirements, please give your valuable inputs & your help will greatly appreciated & rewarded.
The following is the scenario:
If have 3 orders scheduled on 3 consecutive days (considering each order completes in a single day) then if drags the first order to forward date, then the system forward schedules only the selected order but the client wants order number 2 & 3 to move automatically. That is if I push the first order, then sequentially 2nd & 3rd order should move automatically & gets rescheduled sequentailly.
Similarly it should happen when I drag the 1st order to left then the proceeding orders should simultaneously move along left in leveling screen
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Mario,
Thanks for your reply.
All the 3 orders are independent & are of finished goods. All the orders are scheduled on the same work center. Due to machine break down during the processing of first order, there's a loss of time, so i will select the first order & dispatches to forward date & at the same time i want the 2nd & 3rd order to get resheduled correspondingly.
Suggest the solution for this, Thanks in advance.

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.

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 .

Capacity leveling. Aim is to have oders scheduled within 1 day if possible

Hi All,
I have a list of 10 prod. orders with same basic/scheduled start/finished date= today
In capacity leveling, if i select a whole list of these orders and dispatch them, i get all orders with start day= today, finish date= today+ x days.
I would like to have orders scheduled with start/finish date within 1 day.
I have available capacity of 4 hours per day. Each order takes around 1,5 hours, thus i can have 2 orders scheduled for today, and so on. This is exactly what i need.
My kind question to you is how to setup SAP in a such way.
NB: If i do leveling for each order one by one, then i get what i want: e.g. order is scheduled within 1 day.
Best Regards,
Andrey

Dear Andrey
Your requirement is, Automatic capacity levelling based on the available capacity.
In SAP R/3 PP module, only manual capacity levelling is available. Automatic is possible in APO.
If the requirement dates are same for multiple orders, system will through all the orders in the same date and it will display overloaded. So manually we need to dispatch the overload to the required date.
Please check the below thread also.

Capacity leveling, after Deallocate scheduling dates getting changed.

Dear Experts,
I have a issue in Capacity leveling using transaction CM25 - Online. I have created some production orders (using forwards/backwards scheduling) for overloading of WorkCentre's. When I dispatch orders it’s getting scheduled perfectly, but when I Deallocate same orders scheduled dates are getting changed.
Even after deallocation production orders schedule dates should be the same. Can you please help me in this regard?
Thanks in advance.
Prashanth

Hello Prashanth,
From SAP help Date Determination in Dispatching and Rescheduling - Capacity Leveling (PP-CRP-LVL) - SAP Library
The current dispatching data is cancelled. The status "dispatched" of the operation is reversed. The order is rescheduled.
If further operations exist for an order which has already been dispatched, the system automatically carries out midpoint scheduling. If no other dispatched operations exist, the system carries out lead time scheduling.
If order date is in past then it schedules to current date during de allocation if you do not have enter number of past days allowed to start date in scheduling parameters.

Reg. Capacity levelling for the maintenance order

Hi all,
I am using SAP R3 ECC6.0.
I have created a maintenance order with order type PM01(Internal).In this order i have assigned Work Center 1 with the Work center category as Labour.And i have assigned 2 operations for this Work center in the maintenance order with the total hours of 60 HRS. and i saved this order & made the status to release.
Then i went to Tcode CM33 and there i inputed the Work center name and executed it.It opens a Graphical View.But in that view my order no is not displayed .Previous order no. which is there already for that Work center is shown there.
What could be the Reason.
As an alternate checking i went to T code CM31 order view.There i Inputed my order no. and executed it but it throws a message
"No Capacity requirements were found in the evaluation period"
"No work centers or orders were found"
What could be the reason.
Tell me how to overcome this issue.
More over i want to make dispatch in the capacity levelling.
Thanks in advance,
M.Badrinarain.

hi badri,
are you checking in the same period ? and next check ur overall profile and time profile assigned to ur overall profile .... u will find order no , operation no .... and once u dispatch operation status gets DSPT .

Work schedule display in capacity leveling cm25

Hello,
In our company we have created a work schedule (tcode OP4A) and have associated to a work center (tcode IR02).
However, capacity leveling (tcode CM25) doesn't display the work schedule associated to our workers in the graphical planning table.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much,

Problem with scheduling planned orders in MRP

There is a problem with scheduling planned orders in MRP. SFG is assigned to the BOM of FG. No inhouse production time maintained in the material master of SFG & FG. routing maintained for both . In OPU5 scheduling & capacity reuiremnts tickmarked for detailed scheduling. Scheduling level - via detaied scheduling. Scheduling type - backward. Adjust basic dates , adjust dep. req. to order start set. In MD02 , scheduling is via ' lead time scheduling'.
My problem is the start date & time & finish date & time is same for planned orders of FG & SFG in the detailed scheduling tab of the planned orders. (Duration is same because of same capacity requirements on the same work centre. But how is the finish date same for both SFG & FG?)
(Capacity requirements are being generated.)
What could be the problem ?

Dear,
By scheduling the routing and maintain lot size dependent time in material is best practice and result of scheduling will be consistent.
If you want SFG before FG you need to define lead time offset in BOM or need to maintain the floats before production.
Hope clear to you.

After capacity leveling dependent requirement s to be adjusted

hi
iam planning a fert product on 30 th agust for 100nos
created md61 -pir for 100 nos
done mrp run at mdo2 and got scheduled dates for 100nos which has gone beyond the requirement date as i was chhosed leed time scheduling and made dependent reqirement proposal for the order operation date.
here the important thing is the work center which i nedd to produce was fully engaged inthe period (schedule period which system proposed) .hence i made capacity leveling and planned order dates were changed again
which are actual producion dates
after capacity leveling my planned order was firmed
my problem here is the dependent requirement proposal date also
need to be changed with respect to firmed planed order.
how to achive this
i tried with opu5
but no changes in dependent reuirement proposal (planned order)
plz suggest
sasikanth
vst-it projects

hi
i tried it but unfortunatly it is creating a new planned order and giving exemption messge to the firmed planned oder as cancel the proposal
which is not at all acceptable
means for a single PIR
i made mrp run AND got planned order , after leveling the planned order was firmed
means my pir was satisfied with this
i made mrp run without changing PIR dates and quantity by expecting that it should propose a new dependent reqirement
but system created a new planed order to pir date which sholud not happen.
plz elobrate your view

Prerequisites for Capacity leveling

what r the Prerequisites for Capacity leveling ?
What setting we can do to run the capacity leveling?

Hi,
Assign the correct capacity formula at workcenter .
Actiavte the Finite scheduling tick at Capacity header view & maintain the all relvant capacity data at capcity header.
Activate the "Generate cap req' check box at
OPU5,OPU3
Lead time scheduling should be carried out ie For planned order leveling , lead time scheduling should be carried out during MRP

Capacity Leveling of Work Center

Hi all,
I have a problem with Capacity of Work center (WC).
I have a Internal Activity, and i assigned a WC for this Internal Activity. WC's capacity is 100H/day for 1 number of element.
Work of this WC is 250H, duration 5 days, number of element 1. Default capacity of this WC is distributed by Distribution Key define in Activity. . And they are divided equally between factory days in 5 day. That is capacity requirement is 50H/Day
So, i want to edit this WC's capacity following value:
Day 1: 100H/day
Day 2: 50H/day
day 3: 0H/day
day 4: 0H/day
day 5: 100H/day
How can i do it?? I try to use Dispatch Manually but i cant solve this problem.
Please help me for this case.
Thank all.

Dear
Capacity leveling depends on some of the basic set up of Capacity Requirement Planning .You need to have proper CRP set up frist .
Couple of check points : -
Did you work centre is relevent for finitie scheduling in CR02-Capacity Header and wht is the over laod percentage for work centre ?
Did you have Capacity Requirement Related Set up like Over all profile , time profile , Startegy Profile -OPD0?
Did your Capacity Check -OPJK -Order Control at order level are active for availibilty Check 1 and 2 and assinged Over all Profile ?
Set up :
1.Please assing a operation control key like PP01 where Details Capacity Check and scheduling is active .
2.In CR02-Work centre -Capacity Header -You should have Follow check box marked
1.Releven for Finitie Scheduleing
2.Can be used for multiple Operation
3.
3.OPU3/OPU5 -Define Scheduling paramter -Mark Scheduling and Capcity Check for planned order or production Order
4.In SPRO -Shop Floor Control-Define Production Scheduling Profile -You need to matian the relevent Parameters like
1.Schedueling Automatically 2.Scheduling Log 3.Adjust Scheduling -Basic date , Depedent Requirement date 4.Scheduling Type -Backward etc .
These are all basic level set up beside CRP overall profile and other profile like strategy /time etc which may in place as you are analysing in CM01.
Please find below some of the useful CRP details : Refer this threads which are self explaintory :

How to dispatch operation to do Capacity Leveling at Work Centre Level :
1.Frist Check the over load at work centre . Goto -CM07/CM05-give plant only -then hit the Stnadard view -You will find weekly or daily baiss load ( Requirement , Avaliable Capcity , Overlaod etc )
2.Check the week in which days you are tring to dipatch -if you selet the week check box and double clik it will show u all the dataiul load .Basde on the available capacity in other week-days u need to dipatch in CM22/CM31 or CM25/CM21
While dipatching in CM22/CM31-Select the Stragegy button on the top header -Mark Date entry when dispatching so that when you select the operation of any production order or planned order for certain work centre , it will pop with window having information of Date , Work Centre , Time .Onec you did this you will receive Scheduling log with certain information .
Hope this helps

Capacity Leveling Problem

If I have an order that requires 85 hours of production, and the work center responsible only has available capacity of 14 hours per day, how can I divide up the order in a Capacity Leveling Planning Table (CM22)? When I dispatch the order, it automatically overloads the work center instead of spreading itself out over several days. When I created the production order I gave it a start date 2 weeks away from the finish date. Yet in capacity leveling, when I dispatch the order, it only goes to one day and overloads the work center by several hundred percent?
Basically, how can I take this single order and divide it up over 7 days in Capacity Planning?

In both the "strategy" box of CM22 and the "capacity" tab of CR02, I have made sure that the relevant boxes for finite scheduling were checked. However, the system still overloads the work centers. This would mean that there is a 'finite' capacity in each work center and that each center cannot be overloaded, but my work centers still load themselves to nearly 1000% capacity! Why is this? How can I make sure that when a work center reaches capacity, it's quantities flow into the next available slot?
How can I spread the requirements over a period of several dates and not just one?

How to run mrp and capacity leveling through heuritics.

Hi,
How to run mrp and capacity leveling through heuritics.
What are the setps required for production planning run this thing in the heuritics in pp/ds?
Regards,
Sunil

Sunil,
APO PP/DS doesn't have a 1-to-1 match for MRP/Cap levelling per se. There are, though, a limitless number of ways to achieve the results you want.
Start with a basic PP planning MRP - SAP_PP_002, which will should create all necessary planned orders
Then try a DS heuristic to schedule your orders according to capacity. Schedule Sequence SAP001 is a good starting point. This can be used to schedule your cap relevant work centers such that they fully load the capacity available, similar to cap levelling.

Capacity leveling problems

I have some troubles with implementing capacity leveling. I cannot level with planned orders (cable solution), so it is only possible to plan production orders.
The setup matrix is used (because setup times can be greatly reduced, depending on the succesor).
For some operations, simular machines can be used. CM21 (work center view) is used. Version: R/3 release 4.6C.
Now a couple of problems rise.
Problem 1:
Since there are simular machines, normally production versions are used for capacity leveling. However, we have to level with production orders, so production versions are not applicable.
Making one workcenter with different individual capacities is also no solution, since SAP messes up with setup times then (i.e. two operations of different production orders have to leveled onto the work center. Normally, the setup is 20h, but if it is a right succesor, it has to be 0h. This is mentionned in the setup matrix. If we dispatch now with a specific strategy for setup time optimization, only one operation will have setup time and the other operation will be schedule from the start on of the other operation's setup... In reality, two setups has to be done, since there are two machines!).
Alternative sequences is also no solution. While leveling, the alternative sequence will never be used by SAP, in my view.
Problem 2:
The strange logic of SAP: setup of the next work center can only be done if the production on the previous work center has finished. In reality, the setup of the next work center can overlap with the production of the previous workcenter.
Besides these two problems, there are some more troubles with capacity planning in SAP. SAP messes up sometimes by putting the setup time before the wrong operation (sometimes, the first operation has no setup time and the second does. However, this should be the other way around.).
If you plan an operation manually, SAP doesn't take into account the setup matrix.
Does anyone has a solution?

Hi Walravens,
What i have understood is, u have the avilability of multiple resouces to produce same material, if any capacity bottle neck, u level the different production order of same material from "one work center" to "another workcenter".
At cm21, select the mutiple workcenters (selection criteria) and dispatch the operation as need.
For setup time overlap, how to system know ur producing two operations (from two different orders) with same setup.
Even the operations from same production order, system consider the set up time of the second operations unless u define overlap function. . Am I understood your problem in correct way.
So remove the set up time for second operation and dispatch.

Pradeep

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.

Ramasamy
