Single process order spanning over multiple days...

Hi All -
My scenario is as follows:
I have a semi FG C going into multiple FGs A and B.
Receipts for A and B create dependent requirements for C on different days of a week. It would always be 2 continous days, Monday-tues or Tue-Wed and so on.
My lot size period type is "Days - 1." So when I run PPDS heuristic, the system creates 2 planned orders to cover the 2 different dependent requirements since my period bucket is days - 1.
We would want only 1 planned order for semi FG C which spans over 2 days of the week. To achieve this, what I did is change the lot size period type to Week-1 ( with period factor 1) which would create a single process order on the last day of the week and have the scheduler move the order and align it with the receipt of the FIRST planned order( for A or B).
Is there anyway we can let the system do this for us? Again the requirements can be on Day 1-2,2-3,3-4,4-5 etc...but what we would like is based on when the multiple requirements are, the system create the planned order for C on the day of the requirement of the first receipt( be it A or B).
IF Dep Reqs are on day 2-3, the planned order for C is needed on day 2. If the dep reqs are on 4-5, the planned order for C should be on day 4.
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Also, is there any function in the DS planning board to "Merge" 2 orders?

Hi
Changing to weekly lot size is the best option. It seems your problem is that the process order should get over (end date) before the first requirement. In such a case, you should also maintain a rounding value/fixed lot size in material C. Then process order will be created before the order of A or B (The first of the two) starts. In product view it will show a surplus on the first day and it will get consumed on the next day when B is produced.
Another way is to avoid using period factor so that heuristic creates planned order before the requirement.
Hope this should solve.

Calendar entry to span over multiple days

I'm trying to set up a calendar view for various events, some of them lasting more than one day.
How would I incorporate this functionality into the view, so that an entry would break out from one day and last from Mon-Wednesday if that is the case?
I would assume one needs to take into account the end-date or the duration, so a new set of data should be imported for the table.
Would appreciate any input, workarounds, etc. Thank you!

Thank you, this definitely helps. I am giving it a try!
EDIT: Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get this plugin to pull data from existing tables. Will try some more and update the thread.

How to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller

we are using VS 2013, I need to run multiple Coded UI Ordered Tests in parallel on different agents.
My requirement :
Example: I have 40 Coded UI Test scripts in single solution/project. i want to run in different OS environments(example 5 OS ). I have created 5 Ordered tests with the same 40 test cases.
I have one Controller machine and 5 test agent machines. Now I want my tests to be distributed in a way that every agent gets 1 Ordered test to execute.
Machine_C = Controller (Controls Machine_1,2,3,4,5)
Machine_1 = Test Agent 1 (Should execute Ordered Test 1 (ex: OS - WIN 7) )
Machine_2 = Test Agent 2 (Should execute Ordered Test 2 (ex:
OS - WIN 8) )
Machine_3 = Test Agent 3 (Should execute Ordered Test 3
(ex: OS - WIN 2008 server) )
Machine_4 = Test Agent 4 (Should execute Ordered Test 4 (ex:
OS - WIN 2012 server) )
Machine_5 = Test Agent 5 (Should execute Ordered Test 5 (ex:
OS - WIN 2003 server) )
I have changed the “MinimumTestsPerAgent” app setting value
as '1' in controller’s configuration file (QTController.exe.config).
When I run the Ordered tests from the test explorer all Test agent running with each Ordered test and showing the status as running. but with in the 5 Test Agents only 2 Agents executing the test cases remaining all 3 agents not executing the test cases but
status showing as 'running' still for long time (exp: More then 3 hr) after that all so its not responding.
I need to know how I can configure my controller or how I can tell it to execute these tests in parallel on different test agents. This will help me reducing the script execution time.
I am not sure what steps I am missing.
It will be of great help if someone can guide me how this can be achieved.
-- > One more thing Can I Run one Coded UI Ordered Test on One Specific Test Agent?
ex: Need to run ordered Test 1 in Win 7 OS (Test Agent 1) only.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Divakar,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
As far as I know, we cannot specify coded UI ordered test run on specific test agent. And it is mainly that test controller determine which coded UI ordered test assign to which test agent.
Generally, I know that if we want to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller.
We will need to change the MinimumTestsPerAgent property to 1 in the test controller configuration file (QTControllerConfig.exe.config) as you said.
And then we will need to change the bucketSize number of tests/number of machines in the test settings.
For more information about how to set this bucketSize value, please refer the following blog.

You can refer this Jack's suggestion to run your coded UI ordered test in lab Environment or load test.

Multi Plnd Order to Single Process Order

We have implemented Process Industry in our organisation (PP-PI).
Can we convert MULTIPLE planned order to SINGLE process order ? How?
If 'No' then what is the reason behind it?
Chintan Patel

Thank you Mr. Shiva & Mr. Vittal for prompt reply.
But going furhter in the scenario as under:
1) FERT, Strategy: 20 Make-to-Order
    Ind/Collective: 2 Collective Only,
    MRP Type: M0,
    Lot Size: MB,
    Procurement: Inhouse Production
   FERT has BOM which include HALB, VERP
   HALB has BOM which include ROH & VERP
2) Sales Order Entered
    Line: 10 FERT: 600000673    Qty: 2000
    Line: 20 FERT: 600000673    Qty:      3 (free qty)
3) Run MPS by MD50 on Sales Order, Line Item 10
    Result: Planned Order for line item 10 is generated
4) Run MRP by MD41 on FERT 600000673
    Result: Second Planned for line item 20 is also generated
Requirement:
Can we obtain only one planned order for both line items as FERT are same for both lines ?

Events over multiple days only show on the first day in 'Month' view

Hi,
I've noticed that if I create an event that spans over two days (for example 23 May 2008 at 6 PM to 24 May 2008 at 1 PM) are only displayed on the from date in Month view.
This is unfortunate because if I look at my calendar in Month view, I think I'm free on the 24th, when in fact I'm busy until 1 PM.
Is there a way to get the Month view to display an entry for the event on both days (other than creating one event running from 23 May 2008 at 6 PM to 11:59 PM and a second from 24 May 2008 at 1:01 AM to 1 PM)?
Message was edited by: Sam Watterson

Hi Sam
I just had the exact same problem the other day. I was asked to make an appointment with someone, I checked my calendar (actually on my iPhone) and I looked available that day so agreed and even entered the event. Turns out I will be working 70 miles away on the event I entered on the day prior. I've had the embarrassment of having to reschedule - makes me look disorganised.
The month view on iPhone is just the same as iCal - if it's not an 'all day' event it only shows on the first day. This is poor. I recall even outlook and windows mobile calendar manages to display this sensibly. Apple should be fixing this pronto.

Calculating Elapsed time over multiple days

Hello Community!
I am creating a logbook for our aircraft and attempting to correctly use the DUR2HOURS function to calculate flight times. DUR2HOURS does a great job of converting take off and landing times into decimal format but runs in to trouble when take off is late on one day and landing is on the next day. For example: Takeoff at 21:00 and landing at 01:00 gives a large negative number. I am using the very basic formula =DUR2HOURS([ldg time]-[takeofftime]) I realize that my equation will not work when we land on the next day. How can I modify my formula to correctly calculate a duration over multiple days? Thanks in advance for your help!

if you enter the complete date and time then this should still work:
format the depart and arrival times:
You can then sum the durations as:
C13=SUM(C)
Rows 1 is a header and row 13 is a footer

Open Process Orders take-over when going-live

Hello PP People
Does anyone have any experience/recommendation about the transition/take-over of open process orders from a legacy system to SAP when going live ?
These process orders are started in the legacy system and should arrive in a partially confirmed (hours/consumptions) status in the SAP system at go-live. How is this generally tackled from a CO point of view ?
Any hints on this could be helpfull
Thanks and best regards

Hi,
The method adopted depends on the business requirements. There are quite many options which can be adopted. So first thing i would say is get a clear business requirement what business expects from this migration.
Some of the options could be
1. Close all orders in the legacy system & create new orders in the SAP system & post back the confirmations, post goods movement as per the legacy system.
2. Create a material per order carrying the cost (WIP value) as per the legacy system, assign this component in the component list & post this mateiral to the order, thereby the WIP vlaue will be acrrued to the order.
3. Ask your FI-CO personnel to post the WIP value to the order from FI side.
There could be many more approaches, the choice depends purely on business needs. Hope the above gave you some guideline.

Vivek

Possible to play a single embedded audio clip over multiple pages?

hi
i'm wondering if it's possible to have a single audio clip play over more than one page in an interactive pdf generated in indesign cs5.5? in the media preview it seems to work but when i export to pdf the audio stops playing when i move to the next page, even when the "stop on page flip" is NOT checked in the media object options box.
what i want is the oppositite of an object with multiple states; looking for a single media object with multiple pages. thoughts? i'm publishing song lyrics, need to have the audio playing through the whole text of the piece when it runs to the next page.
thanks

In the other forum I stated:
It can be done by choosing the right option but it has been my experience that the continuous playback only works in Adobe Acrobat and not in any version of Adobe Reader across different devices including computers.
Your best bet would be to publish an interactive Flash file and if you need that to be on an iOS device get someone with an iOS developer license to convert the published Flash file into an iOS app. You might even be able to convert the Flash file into an epub like a digital magazine but I am inexperienced with this aspect of InDesign. There are good tutorials that I've seen briefly on creating epub digital magazines from InDesign though so do some research on it and report back.
Have you explored any of this thus far? I hope you get some good results.

Why doesn't the calendar carry the event title over multiple days?

When creating a multiple-day event, the calendar does not carry the title over all of the days in the event. In IOS6, this worked, but with the new IOS7, it does not. Has anyone else had this problem?

Apple did design it that way.... Spotlight search will find calendar entries. See P. 195 of the User Guide... http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
Settings > General > Spotlight Search

In ICal-How do I get the new event to span across multiple days.

If say, I have an event from Jan 1-3, I'd like to see it span across all days, like in Outlook. Not just the 1st day and the other 2 days blank. when I set the start date and the end date, in this case Jan 1-3 the event only shows up on Jan 1. I'd lke to be reminded that the event has 2 more days to it at a glance and not have to open the event. Any sugesstions other than to enter the event in 2 more times?
Thanks, Joe

Singles sales order shipping from multiple plants in different lega entiti

We are a global Mfg and distributor of scientific instruments. Due to the complexity and delicate nature of these instruments we may need to ship product from as many a three different shipping points / plants that are each owned by a different legal entity.
Does SCM have any functionality to automate the co-ordination of the multi-plant shipment so that all the product can be shipped to arrive at the customer site at the same time ?

Hi,
How do you plan to make the order entries? What is the criteria to ship the product from different plants?
Please clarify if you're talking about the same product being shipped from different plants or different products shipped from different plants? I can think of two scenarios because of some ambibuity in your posting.
1. Same product from different plants: If this is case, How do you plan to decide to split the order quantities to be shipped from different plants into multiple lines in the sales order?
2. Different products from different plants based on some criteria: If this is the case, I understand you will enter multiple order lines.
In both the cases, there is something called 'Delivery groups' in ECC that is attached to Correlation Profiles in SCM GATP (though delivery groups can be used in ECC stand alone) which will make sure that all the items within the same delivery group have the same delivery date, ultimate delivery date will be the latest delivery date of all the items.
Hope this is what you're looking for. If not, elaborate your requirement to help you better.

Presenter 7: Can you Import a single WAV with Markers over multiple slides?

Adobe Presenter 7.0.1.
The import audio allows you to import a WAV format file. You should be able to use Markers in the WAV file and the Import will split the single WAV file at those markers to fit with the individual slides.
That was certainly the case in earlier versions according to some of the Forum posts, and the dialog box for Audio Import hints that it can be done because it says:
"Select the starting slide for the import..."
Ignore Markers? (check box)
So the title, select the starting slide suggests that the import can be over more than one slide, and the Ignore Markers check box suggests that markers might be used somehow.
But it doesn't! This would be great if it did. Has anyone got this working?
What I have to do now is split the audio file up into individual files, one for each slide, and name them 01, 02, 03 and so on. Then the import can be pointed to all the files and it puts one file on each slide for you.
Any help getting this working gratefully received.
Colin Davis

I have upgraded to 7.0.2 but the result is the same, the audio is imported all onto a single slide.
Can I ask what audio application you are using to save the WAV file? I am using Adobe Soundbooth and in that the markers are called "Flash Cue Points" (the menu is Edit, Marker, Flash Cue Point). I am wondering if these are traditional WAV markers or something different.
My file definately has 11 of these markers and I have 12 slides in my PowerPoint. Whilst importing the audio I am selecting the first slide and "Ignore Markers" is definately not checked.

Distribution Function - To split Planned/Process orders into 10

Have you used, or tried to use Distribution Function?
It is assigned to the Production version and we assumed that it would divide the Planned order/Process order by the % we have in customizing.
We have created a distribution function DV10 and assigned to our plant. This uses the standard function S30 which has 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 90, 100 in % dur and % cap fields. So you would think the planned/process order would be divided into 10 parts
Reason u2013 if an order goes over multiple days we want the order to be broken down by day.
Why? So that Deployment, when looking at an ATP report in R3 for multiple materials in 1 location, by day or period of days, can see how much will be available each day
Problem with GLEI (equal distribution) is that if an order starts today at 22:00 then we have equal distribution, we then have 25,000 PAL available today and 25,000 tomorrow, which is not a fair proportion according to the time available. Therefore, we thought that dividing by 10, for example, we would have a more accurate proportion each day
Many thanks for any input, even if "tried and failed :("
Cheers, Paul

Hi Mario,
Thanks for your input. Today we use GLEI which equally splits the same planned or process order into equally daily quantities for ATP purposes. We also have created STRT which drops the Planned/process order quantity onto the first day of the order.
Regarding daily lot sizes this could be an option but I suppose you would then get individual orders, which the business may prefer not to do.
Cheers, Paul

Single Class Split Over multiple non-consecutive Days??

How do I setup in OLM a class split over multiple days for Example:
I have a Diversity Awareness Course and Offering. The Class is 2 days long, but not on consecutive days, they are a week apart.
Do I create a Day1 Class and Day2 class under the same course and make it a prerequisite to attend day 1?
From a reporting point of view this now shows as 2 classes when it is only 1; inflating the class figures.
Or Can I split it into 2 sessions under the same class?
What is the best way to do this?

Hi!
You can create a Class with two Sessions underneath it (one for each day). Make the Start Date for the Class the day the Class begins and set the End Date to correspond to the last day. Your Duration should be set to 2 Days. Learners will be able to view details for each session, and you can assign different instructors and rooms for each day if you use Resource Bookings in OLM.
